"Wha-what is this?!"

Exclaims Erevain who is in front of me. And I can hear, and see, the same type of reactions coming out of every single one of my new followers.

But there is something different in all those voices.

They are all female.

I think you can already guess what happened to them with that, right?

"My, oh my, it seems we just pulled an SSR class beauty Auros!"

I think so too Nerinne. Just wow...

I mean, I wanted to say that I didn't expect this, but I had a tiny feeling this could happen.

It’s Erevain. The once rough, eternal glare-faced man has turned into a black-haired beauty that exuded nobility. The words black-haired duchess or baroness were the ones that first occurred to me to best describe her. Her curvaceous body would attract the eyes of every single man, and woman, in the room, and I'm saying that just by seeing him, her now, still wearing her leather armor.

Just imagine if she were to wear a dress fitting for the character I just said.

"Indeed. That seductive body coupled with that dignity and strong willpower of hers. Oh, and how could I forget that glare! Mmmmmm! It makes me want to dress her up just to see how much you can resist before giving her the waifu seal of approval!"

Hey! It sounds as if giving her the seal of approval means I will pounce at her like some beast in heat!

"Fufufufu~~~ I wonder why?"

Tha-that was because of your te-teasing Nerinne!!

"My, I just love teasing you like this. Your unintentional tsunderism is the best!"

...

"Wha-What is the meaning of this, Lord Auros?! I demand an explanation!"

Exclaims the now flustered Erevain with her arms holding her newly bulging chest. Her black hair flows long, creating some bangs here and there, giving even more expression to her face. She looks embarrassed. So...hot.

Ah, sorry, I got too into it with Nerinne just now. Can't stay silent.

Hmmm...but what could be a good explanation?

DING, OBLIGATORY LIGHT BULB.

I got an idea.

"Hmm, are you sure? You demand an explanation from me? Is that the correct choice of words to speak to me, your Master. Erevain?"

I say that while glaring at her and making my voice a bit deeper. Scaaary, I really sound like pissed off Edge Alter here. Scary and hot, mind you. Oh, I really love this body of mine.

She tries to reply to me but then she silences herself. It seems that she understands.

"But indeed, an explanation is at hand. For all of you."

While I'm saying this, Nerinne is going all ‘Look, we have a cutie one over there too Auros! Oh! And there too!’ she seems delighted with the results.

So am I! I just want to break character and check everyone out in detail, buuuuut...one's got to do what one's got to do!

"And so, Erevain, give our comrades an explanation. I know for certain that you already have an idea about all of this, given that you are the only one who seems to know the true power of a Dragon Lord."

The person in question looks at me with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

"Take it as a trial that will decide your position, and since I have high expectations of you, I hope you do not disappoint me."

We both lock eyes for a moment and then she nods.

"Understood."

Hmmm, now that I pay close attention to it, her voice sounds kind of like a certain witch's. Yes, something like that.

"All of you know that I survived an encounter with a Dragon Lord. The cost of that is something that changed all our lives...and that is why I thought the power Lord Auros gave us before this change was insufficient."

I can hear already some of them saying ‘No way’ and so on.

"Lord Auros knows that to be true, and he decided to bestow us with a body that would let us fight against them."

He? Erevain, really thinks that I'm a man? I thought my waifu's face was feminine enough, but it seems that is not the case. Well, he is in for a surprise that's for sure.

"Fufufu~~~ and she does not seem to be the only one Auros. Some think that you are man, others a woman and others cannot decide. It is quite amusing."

Well, that is sure going to a be a big surprise for some of them then.

"..."

They are looking at me now. So many beauties are looking at me at the same time that it makes me feel a bit excited. We have some with ‘boyish but thick in the right places’ looks, others with village beauty looks, even the lovable 'eyes covered by her hair' shy type is here. OOOOOH! RED-HEADED TANNED WARRIOR! OJOU-SAMA TOO!! CHECK! CHECK! AAAAAND CHECK!!!! ISEKAIS ARE THE BEST! YAY FOR SHAPESHIFTING GACHA! YAY FOR NERINNE! YAY FOR MEEEE!

"You are mostly correct, Erevain. But do not worry, you did not disappoint."

I say while patting her shoulder, she seems relieved.

"Indeed. The power that my pact conveys you is already great, but it was not enough. For all of you to be able to wield it to the fullest, your bodies needed to be remade and adjusted for that power. Yes, it is a great change, but believe me when I say that all of you are now going to be able to unleash your full potential."

Some are already convinced. Those are probably the ones that were already aware to the limits of their bodies before the change.

For the others that are still not convinced I will use my most convenient card.

"The Goddess believes so too. She approves of this change as a part of the trials that awaits us."

Everyone nods after hearing this. Heh, so convenient. And now for the final push.

"Erevain, you shall become my right-hand woman, advisor and strategist. I will be counting on you."

She seemed a bit shocked when I said 'woman' but besides that she nods immediately.

"Yes, my Lord! I, Erevain, will loyally serve you and the Goddess until my life expires!"

She bows deeply. I can feel the sincerity in those words. Don't worry, I will respond to your loyalty.

I promise.

________________________________________________________

Some time later after that, we are now walking to their camp.

I'm glad things went well. You sure are convenient, Nerinne.

"Hey! Don't use me as an excuse for people to believe you!"

You say that, but you are already thinking of outfits to make for them. I don't even have to see you to know that your eyes are already shining.

"Fufufu~~~indeed. But, using my authority without permission...kukuku it's going to cost you Auros. And I already have the perfect outfit for you."

*gulp*

Cosplaying in this body was something I was looking forward to, but I can't help but dread whatever Nerinne has in store for me now.

"Oh, I can't wait to see which new expression you will show me with that lovable face of yours. Fufu~~."

...

Am I to blame for this new hobby of hers?

To be continued...(cue embarrassed cosplaying Auros ending art.)
