Entering the city, I found a long paved street that was quite busy. It was a wide street and could pass two cars together with ease. It is Like an avenue.
There were many stores on both sides of the street, plus some strange buildings that seemed to be places that only adults would visit. It was pretty busy even though night had not yet come.
There's no such thing as a time for this kind of entertainment, right?
But I didn't have much time to analyze all the buildings. The guards practically dragged me into a small building next to the gate.
It was divided into two rooms.
There was a wooden table for interrogations on one side, and on the other side, there were bars. Behind bars were some suspicious men. I decided not to look them in the eye; they were probably dangerous.
After I sat down on one of the chairs, the guard brought me a glass of water. I smelled the water to see if it was safe to drink. I looked at the glass for a while and decided not to risk it. I know they are theoretically lawmen, but I can't trust them.
"Are you okay? You seem to be hurt." One of the guards reached down and tried to touch my thigh. *Slap!* Then I slapped his hand. My slap seemed strong... The man screamed in pain.
"Don't touch me," I said as I looked at him. I am a man! Do you think I would allow another man to touch my thigh?
"It's okay. Its blood from one of my friends."
"It's okay?..." The guard smiled bitterly.
"Yes." I gave a direct answer, "If you'll excuse me." I then got up from the chair to try to leave. The guard then stood in my way. "We need information about the thugs who robbed you." I looked at the guard for a while before sighing.
"Okay, write it down quickly." I thought of some strange features and started talking. "They were all a little fat, wore rags, and wore pig masks."
"..." The guard wrote all that down and looked at me in disbelief. I just shrugged and remained silent. "Okay, I think that's enough. Is everything okay? We can pay an inn for you for a few days if you want." The guard used a gentle tone.
Listen, I'm not going to fall into that trap.
"Don't worry. I have some acquaintances in this town, and I can stay at their house. "
"I'll take you to their house safely."
"No need."
"But you're feeling bad."
"I'm not."
"Were you really robbed?"
"OF COURSE!!!" I screamed and slammed my foot on the ground. Then I took a deep breath and walked out of the guard post. "AND DON'T FOLLOW ME!" What was this show? What was all this?
####
After I had walked down that long street for a while, I arrived at what seemed to be the centre of the city. There was a square, and in the middle of it was a fountain with some funny animal statues.
They were spitting water upwards.
On the benches around the square, some couples were embracing. I remembered Jeane.
I cursed them in my mind before I noticed a large wall beyond the square. There was also a luxurious gate. As soon as I approached it, I was stopped by one of the guards. "Only nobles can enter." He said arrogantly.
"Wa? So nobles are that kind in this world? Just wait, and you will see what I will become." After I said that, the guards looked at me with pity. I just turned around and walked out of there.
'So they divide the city into two parts... I thought those arrogant nobles were just inventions of idiot authors.' I sighed and went back to the gate. The guard saw me but did not approach.
"He looked at me like he was worried... What an idiot." I couldn't believe it. Did my beauty captivate him so much? This is scary; I don't even like to think about it.
"Okay, what place do I need to visit? Normally I would visit the adventurer's guild to get money, but it's late." I looked up at the sky and noticed that it was already turning dark, "But I need money..." I thought of several ways, but all were impossible.
Robbery, prostitution, trading favours. What do you think I am? Some bitch?
I had nothing to do, so I went to the guild.
As soon as I approached the building, I noticed that this was not the right place for me ( A girl now ). Just muscular men who stank of sweat even from a distance. They were loud and drank non-stop.
'Is there a restaurant inside the guild?'
Besides the counters and receptionists, I could see a part of the building with tables where people ate and drank. Wow, this is amazing; they are monetizing this place in the best way possible.
The adventurers come back to this place whenever they finish a mission, and what is good after a day of work? Drinking beer and eating a big plate full of meat.
My masculine instincts began to kick in. I remembered the days I went out drinking after work.
"Excuse me!" I shouted after approaching the door. The adventurers inside the building looked at me.
The strong wind suddenly appeared and shook my hair. Perhaps I look wonderful now since many of the men were mesmerized by my feminine beauty.
"Can I help you?" The receptionist closest to the door asked. I finally realized what I had done. Embarrassed, I approached the counter.
"Oh yes, I would like to join the guild."
"I see..." The receptionist looked me up and down.
"What is it?" I said.
"It's nothing..." The receptionist put a sarcastic smile on her face as she picked up a form for me to fill out. Everything was going according to the script. I filled everything out and soon received my adventurer's license.
Unfortunately, it was already late, and I couldn't take any missions.
Besides, staying inside that building any longer would be impossible.
"Would you like to drink with us?"
"No."
"Are you alone? I can keep you company."
"No."
"Would you like something to eat?"
"Ye...NO!"
Many of those men approached me. I quickly ran out of there, afraid that my masculinity would be affected. Just because I'm in a woman's body doesn't mean I will fall in love with a man.
RIGHT?!!!!
Not unless you were into men in your previous life, being turned into a girl doesn't change sexual preferences
And it won't change, don't worry about it
Why wouldn't it? If the mind had anything to do with sexual orientation then it really WOULD be a choice. Since people can't change and choose what they're attracted to at will that means that sexual orientation has to be something that's hardwired into the body. Being gay is like being lefthanded, it just means you're wired differently than most people. Unless her new female body has a "left handed orientation" then there's no reason why she wouldn't be physically attracted to men, even if her mind is screaming against it.
@AnimeFreak1982 nah fam disagree, person who was attracted women but the got turned to a girl would would still be attracted to women unless you're saying that your body determines sexual attraction as such once being turned into a girl you will be attracted to men because your a girl that doesn't make sense, there's plenty of people that like men even though they're men, though sexual orientation may not be a choice that doesn't mean it cam easily be switched the moment one changes gender. The body responds to what the brain interprets not the other way around if you brain says you like men you body responds appropriately but that doesn't mean you chose that it's something that naturally happens the mind being involved doesn't make it a choice
@waka-sama Yes I'm saying the physical body is what determines physical attraction. There's no other possibility that doesn't result in sexual orientation being a choice. As for people liking the same gender, like I said it just means they're wired differently than most people. It's a naturally occurring physical difference like being born left handed instead of right. Also you made the same point as me when you stated "If your brain says you like men then your body responds appropriately". Since that's the case, what happens when you're given a different body with a different brain that says you like the opposite of what your previous brain said you liked? Then the body responds appropriately right? Unless her new body is wired for lesbianism than she would naturally be attracted to men because she's got a new body and brain now.
@AnimeFreak1982 oh I see what you mean now, I didn't think it as such, what you saying makes sense if we separate the brain from the mind, I took the two sort of being intertwined
@waka-sama Oh I believe the brain as well as the rest of the body are very much intertwined with the mind. The mind is a product of the body after all. Nowhere is this made more clear than in how we treat ailments of the mind. Whether it be through some physical activity, medicine, or a medical procedure all adjustments to the mind are done by doing something that changes the body somehow. And these are just minor to moderate bodily changes at best. To say that a bodily change as drastic as transmigrating or reincarnating into the opposite gender would have no mental effects on you seems absurd to me. If anything can mess with your sexual orientation, it's that.
@AnimeFreak1982 yeah I see your point now
@AnimeFreak1982 The main character was still a completely functional being and was still himself despite having no body at all in the first chapter. I think it's safe to say that in this verse the consciousness exists separately from the body.
@Black-Sky-Order this is some serious talks
@AnimeFreak1982 but is it not soul which keeps the info whether u like men or women and i belive that experience make people like men or women or else why there be gay and lesbia p0rn
@waka-sama but is it not soul which keeps the info whether u like men or women and i belive that experience make people like men or women or else why there be gay and lesbia p0rn
@Kamisamaisayurilover I've been thinking about that as well, I feel like it's not really realistic for a person to change sexual preferences just because they have a new body, sexual preferences is something that aren't born with but instead develop, children Don't have a concept of sexuality they only begin to even think sexualy at age 10-12
@waka-sama true
@Kamisamaisayurilover I'm not sure what you mean. How does the existence of po*n determine your sexual orientation? Isn't it the other way around? At least from my experience it's my orientation that determines the po*n I like. I'm straight and no amount of exposure to homosexual po*n is going to change that.
@waka-sama I'm curious as to why you believe it's unrealistic for a complete body change including a new brain to not result in an orientation change. We've already got real life examples of major personality changes caused by small changes to the brain. Isn't it more unrealistic to think a 100% brain alteration wouldn't cause any drastic changes to one's mentality when minor brain alterations can already change a person so much? While we can't test this and know for sure until science catches up with this particular fantasy isn't safe to assume that under such extreme circumstances just the possibility of an orientation change is at least plausible?
@AnimeFreak1982 the brain is a complicated thing, and yeah it a complete body change might result in some minor changes but that's only if the body being inhabited has some prior experience like Taking over a body of a person, as such it possible to change sexual preferences but even then the it couldnr be a complete change at best it would result in that person being Bisexual however if the body is a new no prior experience then the sexual preferences of the person inhabiting the body shouldn't change
@AnimeFreak1982 no i did not mean that just giving an example
@waka-sama As far as I am concerned, most of people are bi, till proved otherwise
I had a bit of encounters that taught me to never believe sexual attraction people declare, especially drunk
So far I believe that people want to define themselves as proper member of society that feeds them image of desirable romance partner and family.
Few people are unable/unwilling to conform to it, so I'm fine with any outcome for the stories like this one.
People themselves rarely know what parts of themselves they repressed and it takes time or opportunity to realize what given person actually is.
Given that change of environment plays factor in breaking habits (like addiction), any outcome becomes possible.
@waka-sama Don't that have the requirement that it is your body just with a different s*x what if your in a different body and you don't know what that body use to be interested in
I only read first bit of your comment only just keep reading comments sorry
@AnimeFreak1982 I think the whole soul thing fits in with this conversation as the part separate from the physical body and part of the mind or something
@Season me after seeing this after 3 months
WTF is going onnnnn
@Kamisamaisayurilover I have a bad habit of not reading dates on comments that at all then commenting on them if they interest me
@waka-sama its kinda common for trans people to change attraction tho. especially if your type of attraction is about dynamics.
