“...and because of that, Sherry is now part of us, and therefore Japan. So keep your filthy hands off her and let her pass will you!” Sugawara announced, stepping onto the lawn in front of the Jade Palace, shocking everyone with his announcement.

“You heard the man!” Gray of the knights said, giving the little girl a push onto the promised land she had traveled so far to reach. “Go to the Jade Palace! You are safe there!”

Sherry was still stunned that the man she had a crush on, the man she had pleaded to so much in hope of escaping certain death… had actually let her in. It took her more than a few moments for that truth to finally sink in.

“You insolent-…!” Gimlet let out, stepping forward, yet being immediately blocked off by the knights of the order of the Rose. He still followed up with: “Do you have any idea who that girl is?!? You are giving shelter to a traitor to the empire, and that is something we cannot let happen! To all the purgers: Storm the Jade Palace and kill the traitors!”

“Order of the Roze! Don’t let them through!” Bozes, the female knight commander of the order shouted in response, to which the order immediately reacted. And thus the two sides of the same kingdom stormed towards each other and were quickly submerged in a heavy fight, with the order of the Rose barely holding back the forces of the purgers.

“Sherry! Are you alright?” Sugawara asked as the young girl walked towards him, but then turned around to look at the frankly horrible looking fight that was happening right in front of them.

“I am, but I have to watch this. They are fighting because of me… risking their lives because of me…” Sherry replied, hugging herself close to Sugawara, yet never averting her eyes even for just a second. Sugawara had to take some moments to think about his response, when suddenly…

“This situation seems to escalate further and further the more I watch it. But I think now a great time has come for me to intervene,” an unfamiliar female voice spoke, making Sugawara and Sherry turn to face this potential intruder. It was a young woman with caramel skin wearing a black kimono that immediately gave off vibes similar to the adored Rory Mercury, yet also slightly different. Sugawara instantly had trouble telling if she was on their side or not, so he placed himself protectively in front of Sherry.

“No need to fret, I am no enemy,” she said, her gaze wandering over the gruesome battlefield for a moment, before looking back at the pair of non-combatants. “I am Nagisa Fulkami, Goddess of Chaos, and I have come here to congratulate you… and to help you.”

“Help us? What relationship does a goddess like you have with the empire? If you don’t mind me asking,” Sugawara replied like a true diplomat, since that was literally his job. He had done extensive research about the other world with attempts to know basically everything there was to know about the new region, yet the name of the goddess Nagisa was unfamiliar to him.

“Oh, no worries. I have no ties to this or other empires for that matter,” she answered with a slight giggle. “After all, that would be quite bad for you considering how the empire is so split down the middle at the moment.”

“I can't necessarily say that you are wrong,” Sugawara admitted, then renewed his question. “Though that still didn’t answer my question. How and why would you be helping us?”

“I am a goddess of chaos… Bureaucratic stuff bores me to no end. But I don’t want to be misunderstood: What I dislike most is dishonesty and corruption. Or, in other words, I am not exactly a fan of what the crown prince is currently doing.”

“But, ultimately, I am not a punishing goddess,” she followed up, before Sugawara could ask any questions. “I rather reward those who live to my ideas than punish those who don’t.”

Then she leaned forwards, flashing her impressive cleavage to the two as a big smile crept on her face. “And you know I couldn’t ignore a stuck up bureaucrat screwing all rules just to save a girl that has a crush on him. That's why I am here~!”

“Haha…” Sugawara laughed weakly when he heard that. He wasn’t exactly sure if he should feel proud that a goddess of all people admired his rule-breaking actions, or if he should feel ashamed that he broke the rules so hard that the goddess of chaos congratulated him for it.

“Okay, so what are you planning on doing?” he asked, to which Nagisa only giggled.

“My usual approach to these types of situations is to just withhold myself from the conflict, but grant a wish to those who impressed me.”

“Hmm… So you are saying that you would grant me a wish for saving Sherry?” Sugawara asked to clarify. “You wouldn’t just simply grant me the wish of getting the king back to health so that he can stop the prince and we can end this madness, right?”

“Unfortunately for you, I will not grant a wish like that,” Nagisa laughed, then smiled at the pair even harder. “I might be a nice goddess, but I am still the goddess of chaos. I will only grant wishes that are self-serving and you can expect them to be granted in an exciting way.”

“Wait, Sugawara!” Sherry suddenly interjected, placing herself in front of him to seemingly stop him in his tracks. “I have heard of situations like this before. Never make a wish to someone who will twist it! The results are never ever good!”

Sherry raised a very valid point. Stories of genies or what have you were also very popular in his own world and those also never really ended well for the protagonist. At least, not at first. He needed to think about this carefully if he wanted to continue interacting with someone that could very well be compared to such a genie right now.

“Would you be okay with us refusing to wish?” Sugawara asked to clarify even if it was probably pointless.

“Oh, you can. I will just grant a wish that I feel is appropriate for you then, and I am not sure you would want to trust a goddess of chaos with that.”

“That-…ugh…” Sherry also wasn't sure how to react anymore.

“Hey, don’t worry about it. Like I said, I am not an evil goddess. I promise that whatever you wish for, I’ll twist it in a way that will make you happier in the end. Just let your fantasies run wild.”

“I honestly don't even know where to even start. I just had to accept an underage girl's confession and now there is a civil war happening because of that. My biggest struggle currently is figuring out how I can keep some of my dignity back over in japan.” Sugawara rambled, which made Sherry cling to him as if to calm him down, yet Nagisa’s eyes seemed to glow from hearing that.

“I can easily fix that. No problem,” she said as if she had just formed a massive plot in her head. “I’ll just count that as ‘I wish for Sherry to be a bride that would have all the qualities of a modern day ideal wife’. Are you okay with that?” Nagisa asked, to the surprise of Sugawara. Yet it was Sherry who once again spoke up to defend him.

“That would be too little. Sugawara is the envoy of a land filled to the brim with the smartest minds around and power that even a flame dragon couldn’t withstand. Do you think you can turn me into a perfect bride to an envoy of a land like that?”

“Oh, I can do one better. I can turn you into his perfect wife AND give you those qualities you so admire about Sugawara's country. Are you interested?” Nagisa asked Sherry, who definitely let out a gulp. For some reason Sugawara knew that this girl wasn’t lying, which was why he couldn’t really interject right then. After all, he knew what Sherry's biggest dream was right now. He actually felt confident leaving this choice up to her since… It was about her.

“...I would like that…” she whispered, making Nagisa nod. “If you can really do it, then please turn me into his ideal wiiiii- Ah!”

“Consider your wish granted~,” Nagisa chimed as she snapped her fingers, causing multiple dark clouds to shoot towards Sherry at the same time, enveloping her and dragging her away from Sugawara.

“What the-…?”

“Now let’s go through this wish step by step.” Nagisa announces, teleporting behind Sherry and putting her hands on her shoulders. Sugawara wanted to do or say something… but simply couldn’t. It was as if the goddess had also bound him in place.

“So Sherry is not old enough to be a perfect bride? I can see that. She is only twelve after all,” Nagisa said as a giant clock appeared behind her and Sherry, which slowly started to speed up turning. “So let’s have the hands of time spin until a more proper age is reached. I feel like doubling her time might be a fitting age for a perfect wife, don’t you think so as well?”

Sugawara could barely follow what was happening in front of him. Sherry was rapidly growing and growing as the clock behind her spun at an almost unseeable speed. She grew to the size of Nagisa in the span of just a few seconds, yet stopped around there. Her chest and hips also increased as puberty hit her hard and exceptionally fast.

Whatever childlike appearance she had minutes prior was quickly washed away as even her face blossomed with maturity. It had only been moments, but it was like Sugawara had just watched Sherry grow up all at once over the span of 30 seconds. Which, considering what Nagisa had said, wasn’t all that unrealistic for having really just happened.

“But to be a respectable wife, one needs more than just age,” Nagisa continued, then reached under Sherry’s arms to grab her decently sized breasts. She then lifted them up and let them bounce freely. One would think that they would very quickly stop jiggling considering their small size… but they didn’t. Instead, with every bounce, they gained more volume and momentum, continuing to bounce up and down until they had reached an incredible size, most likely even breaking into the E-cup or higher.

Nagisa then quickly pinched Sherry in her behind, making her not only let out a cute yelp, but also cause her hips and ass to jump up a few sizes, which really rounded out her now quite curvy figure.

“We have the right age and the right body type. Now comes the part that you both unanimously agreed on.” Nagisa giggled, then placed two of her fingers on Sherry’s forehead. Sherry could barely let out a few moans before it looked like Nagisa was pumping tons of her dark mist into her head.

“Japan has a good education system, and therefore a modern wife must be well educated. Let’s speedrun the Japanese school system real quick, shall we?” Nagisa laughed, happily pumping more and more mist into her. “Grade school, High school, college… let’s give her a masters degree in politics. Why not? She seemed really interested.”

“Ah~!” Sherry collapsed on the floor after Nagisa let go of her, panting heavily on the ground. To Nagisa’s credit, even if Sugawara was rather morally opposed to what she was doing, he had to admit that, as she was now, Sherry did look like a very attractive young woman with a lot of potential, if Nagisa had just really given her the knowledge of a masters degree just like that.

“How are you feeling?” Nagisa asked the girl on the floor, who was still panting.

“I-… I feel… much more prepared…” Sherry answered, trying to get off the ground again. By this point, the still ongoing battle behind them was all but forgotten, and only came back to Sugawara’s mind when Sherry’s transformation had finally ended. Or so he thought.

“That’s great…” Nagisa said and snapped her fingers again, causing a huge wave of dark mist to dive towards her again, with Nagisa only smiling and saying: “Because the biggest change is yet to come~!”

“T-there is more…?” Sherry asked, which was somewhat strange, since the mist didn’t seem to restrict any movements of her upper body this time, unlike before. Yet she quickly noticed that that was because the entire mass of the dark mist was aiming for her legs. The entire giant cloud.

“Of course there is more. After all, you defined a perfect wife as someone who was as smart as the best of japan… and can take down a fire dragon,” Nagisa giggled, to which Sugawara’s and Sherry’s eyes went wide.

Just in that moment, they could see Sherry's legs starting to pulse, growing a bit with every shockwave that passed through them. But not only grow, but also change. Scales started to appear one by one on her legs with each pulse as well as her heel getting lifted off the ground more and more, until it almost looked like her legs belonged to a scaled monster rather than a human.

“In case you are wondering: I have checked multiple times, but with the equipment of this world right here, there is no way for a human to win a fight against a Fire Dragon. But another Fire Dragon might win~!” Nagisa grinned triumphantly, to which Sherry immediately started sweating.

By then it looked like her body was slowly being stretched apart, her stomach getting longer as her hips shifted further and further behind her. One could see the line where Sherry's body split off from her human upper half and her lower half, which was becoming more monstrous by the second.

Two additional nubs started to appear at the intersection of her two halves, growing outwards quickly and becoming two additional limbs, claws of a dragon, to be exact. Which, upon reaching their final size, pretty much ended the drastic changes Sherry had to endure. Two huge wings sprouted out from her massive, monstrous back and she grew some horns on top of her head, but judging by her expression, those changes were far less intense than the ones before.

“Ha… Ha… Is-… Is it over…?” Sherry asked, causing her over twice as tall as before body to rise and fall with every breath she took. Lifting herself off the ground looked a lot different to how a normal human would do it, as with four massive claws for legs, she had no need to use her thin arms to lift herself off the ground.

It took a good while for it to sink in for Sugawara, but Sherry was no longer human. She was a dragon.

Well… a dragontaur… if that existed. Her upper body was pretty much still fully human, after all.

“Yes~! I have granted your wish~,” Nagisa announced happily. “She might not look it anymore, but she still has all the traits that one would need in your world to be seen as a respectable wife. She still has a good figure, is around 24, has a full education and is very devoted to you.”

“She just happens to also be a dragon now.”

“I feel like I could have stopped that if I listened a bit closer,” Sugawara sighed as he looked up to the newly transformed 3-meter-tall girl.

“But where would have been the fun in that~?”

“I am sorry,” Sherry replied, falling to all four of her scaled knees to shrink her height a bit. “I didn’t think this through enough… I didn’t even think she would grant this wish for me.”

“Hmm… It might take a while to get used to, but dating a dragon is by far more acceptable than dating a minor. So I at least have that,” Sugawara let out, shrugging his shoulders as he looked at the girl that, even while lying on the ground with most of her body, was taller than him.

“Was dating me before this really such an unacceptable thing to do…?” Sherry asked, to which Sugawara was quick to reply: “Yes. Dating, let alone marrying a minor, destroys your honor to a point where you are pretty much done for.”

“Oh. I didn’t know…” Honestly with how fidgety and cutesy Sherry was acting at the moment, Sugawara really had no trouble calling her cute at that very moment. But that was most likely also because he had a feeling that Nagisa purposefully changed her to be as attractive as she could possibly be for him, despite not being human.

“Sir Sugawara! Lady Sherry!” Bozes, the female knight commander shouted, running towards the three of them together with Beefeater, her second in command. Now that Sugawara had time again to look at his surroundings, he saw that the battle had concluded. Many soldiers were injured and exhausted, but it seemed like most of the order of the rose were still standing.

“Thank goodness you’re alright. You should have retreated into the palace when the battle started!” Bozes continued, before her eyes fell on Nagisa, upon which she immediately raised her guard.

“And who are you supposed to be?”

“State your name and business. Jade Palace does not allow entry to anyone but Japan and the order of the Rose,” Beefeater added, already drawing her sword at the girl in the black kimono.

“Do you really think this is a good idea?” Nagisa just asked. “Drawing a sword at someone who is on your side just because you don’t know her?”

Bozes and Beefeater were both taken aback, but ultimately put away their swords again. Both of them could clearly tell that Nagisa was neither an enemy nor someone those two could take on, even if they combined their forces.

Though there was still something strange about this whole ordeal… Something that Sugawara couldn't get out of his head for obvious reasons.

“Excuse me, knight commander Bozes. Do you find anything strange with Sherry's appearance today?” He asked, to which Sherry immediately gasped, seemingly also realizing that it made no sense that no one had even remotely talked about the giant dragon in the room. Though when he saw Nagisa grin again, he knew that Bozes was about to say something he was not expecting.

“I did have a feeling that Marques Casle would appear sooner or later to ask for entry, but I honestly didn't think the daughter of the Tyueli family would lead him here. I gotta say, her reputation as one of the smartest minds of the empire despite being a half-dragon really showed today,” Bozes replied, confirming Sugawara’s suspicion.

Nobody besides Sherry and him knew about what Nagisa had just done to her. They just viewed it as normal.

“Though I can’t say we fended them off with grace today,” Beefeater added with a big sigh. “We won, but only barely. And they will come again with an even bigger army soon, which leaves a sour aftertaste on this victory. I don’t even know how we could possibly win this if they take the imperial army here.”

“Are you sure about that?” Nagisa suddenly asked, her grin as big as it was when she granted the wish for Sherry. Sugawara’s eyes went wide when he realized that Nagisa had once again taken the ability to speak away from him. And judging from Cherry’s gaze, from her too.

“What do you mean?” Beefeater questioned, but Nagisa simply continued.

“Are you sure that you don’t know what or how you would be able to win a fight like that?”

“Wha-…?”

“Go on. Give me some crazy ideas~! I might be able to help~.”

“I mean… We can’t really ask for more people, since there is no one in our faction left. If they come on Horseback, then we have almost no way of stopping them,” Beefeater thought out-loud, which caused Bozes to also chime in.

“That is sadly true. We may have more unity and teamwork, but that isn’t going to save us from their far superior numbers,” she said, laughing a bit at the seemingly hopeless situation they had found themselves in.

“Honestly, we would need to be real monsters to keep off the entire imperial army with just under a hundred soldiers alone…”

“What if I could grant you that wish,” Nagisa said, making both knight officers look at her at that proposal.

“Pardon…?”

“You heard me. What if I could give you the strength to match those on horseback. The unity to best those incredible numbers. That monstrous strength you seek to overcome challenges like this. If I could offer you that, would you want it?” Nagisa asked in a very tempting tone, making the two knights slightly nervous.

Sugawara had no idea how she did it, but this goddess clearly had, on top of her other abilities, a way to make anyone believe every word she spoke. Him as a natural critic, Sherry as a very intelligent child and now Bozes and Beafeater who he was sure would have loved to just dismiss her, yet simply couldn't do so.

Her words were so tempting because everyone instantly knew she could follow through on them.

“I fear that even that won't be enough to truly win this fight. After all, we have just learned that Princess Pina is still in the castle, and there is a high likelihood that our victory will cause great trouble for her over there. Zorzal holds very little brotherly love for her to my knowledge.” Bozes sighed once again.

“Yeah. it would all be so much easier if Princess Pina could fight with us in this…” Beefeater added, before-…

“So you are saying that you wish for Pina to join you first, then to grant your actual wish? I can do that too, you know,” Nagisa interrupted, stunning both knights once again.

“Really?!?”

“Do it then! Save the princess and help us win this hopeless battle!” Bozes almost shouted, causing Nagisa’s grin to widen substantially.

“Consider your wish…” Nagisa snapped her finger, causing a dark portal to open, which spat a girl with red hair dressed in slave-like rags on the floor in front of them. “Granted.”

“Princess!!!”

“What in the world happened to you?!?”

“Hold it right there for a moment.” As the knights were just about to storm towards the girl on the ground, Nagisa grabbed them on their shoulders from behind, making them both unable to run forward. Or move much…at all.

“I know the reunion will be sweet, but I have a wish to follow through…” Nagisa said as she started rubbing both of their shoulders, causing dark mist to appear once again. Suddenly Nagisa pushed them together, shrinking the distance between their shoulders, hips and legs to zero in a single moment, as dark mist seemingly flowed towards what little space there was between them. It also seemed to Sugawara like every other member of the order was also experiencing a magnetic force pull themselves towards the next one.

“You were talking about boosting unity and teamwork. Alright. Time to boost them to the MAX!”

Crank!

There was a bit of metal scraping as well as silent moaning of the two women as the boundaries between their bodies disappeared. It looked as if their bodies and even armor had become liquified, effortlessly either combining together or flowing through each other.

Their legs, hips and midsection all fused together completely, causing them to look quite a bit bigger, taller and thicker - more than either of them would individually. All of them now looked like a mixture of both of their traits combined, even down to the armor, which had also become a fusion of both their protective gear.

Their arms and heads, however, did not follow this principle. Rather than fusing together, Sugawara could see the squished arms moving through their combined body to the other side, before emerging just below the other set of arms, causing them to now sport four arms instead of just two.

A similar thing happened to their heads, albeit much less symmetrical. Instead of their heads and necks fusing together, their necks were simply placed next to each other on the same torso. Neither Bozes nor Beefeater reacted to this, both just staring blankly ever since their bodies had started to fuse.

“And you wanted to match those knights on horseback, right~? Time to give you that riding strength you need~!” Nagisa announced, slapping the knight commander duo on their enlarged behind, resulting in both briefly snapping out of their stupor.

Though their combined body quickly started changing again, with their entire lower half growing fur all around and their behind swelling and moving backwards. After a while, their boots just broke away, revealing that their feet had been changed into horse-like hooves. It also didn't take long for the broken metal to liquify and turn into horseshoes for the pair to wear.

Just like with Sherry before, Sugawara could see two bulges forming right below their human halves, which then quickly grew out into another pair of hooved legs, for that pair to stand on, making them quadruped, just how Sherry was now. Finally, two tails made of pure hair strands cascaded out of their horsey behind, one of them blonde like Bozes’ hair, and one of them hazelnut like Beafeater’s.

The knight commander turned centaur-duo then seemingly lost all strength in their four legs and broke to the ground, looking like they were still in a deep daze. And what was even more impressive in the mind of Sugawara was that the entire Order of the Rose had suffered a similar fate, all of them having fused together with exactly one other knight and having become a four-armed, two-headed centauress.

He was sure there had been some male knights also in the order, yet there were clearly only female knights around, which was somewhat weird. Did she just casually swap the gender of all-…?

“Anyway, almost done,” Nagisa announced, happily strutting away from the knight commander duo towards the unconscious princess on the floor. Sugawara hadn’t really paid attention to her yet, but it seemed like she had also been transformed into a centauress as well. Though, surprisingly, a rather normal looking centauress… as normal as a human turned centauress could be, anyways.

“The two of them wished for the princess to join them in their fight and new forms… but there isn’t really anyone that is worth fusing with a princess. Hmm…” Nagisa pondered out loud, apparently making sure that both Sherry and Sugawara could hear her.

“Aha! Of course~ There is only one person worthy enough to share the body of a princentaur~!” Nagisa chimed, way too proud of her pun as she lightly tapped on the princess’ neck. The dark mist surrounding her then immediately shot towards that spot as well, causing her body to shake once again.

Sugawara could literally watch Pina’s shoulders widen as her neck moved slowly but surely to the right, as if to make space. Then, just like all those extra limbs before, something started to push out from her torso - something big and round.

At first, it really only looked like a ball of flesh, but then it slowly began to grow features: From a mouth, a nose, two eyes and ears, it was very clear that the head that grew was almost a carbon copy of princess Pina’s herself. Although, when the hair started to grow, instead of it being long and bright red, it stopped short at around their shoulder level and had a very dark bluish-black color.

“There you go~!” Nagisa said, then snapped her finger, which lifted the binding on both Sugawara and Sherry, but seemingly not the others. Not that they were conscious at the time.

“It was an honor to help you, but I have to move on. Any last questions?” Nagisa asked, opening up a portal behind her, then looking at the ambassador and the dragon girl.

“Is there any chance you would reverse this weirdness, now that you had your fun…?” Sugawara asked, causing Nagisa to laugh.

“Nope~!”

“Wait! One more thing!” Sherry blurted out, taking a few steps forward, yet hesitating to speak for a moment afterwards. “...Are we really going to be happier like this? Is Sugawara going to be happier with me like this?”

Sugawara was somewhat surprised at her question, yet Nagisa just smiled deeply and turned around towards the portal. “Yes. You have my word for it.”

And then she disappeared.

Right after the portal had closed, all of the centauress knights suddenly started coming back to their senses all at once, with Bozes and Beefeater being the first ones back on their legs again. So they slowly clopped over to Sugawara having two of their hands on both of their weapons, while holding their heads with the other two, still feeling the aftershock of what had just happened.

“What… happened?” Bozes asked.

“I felt like we were just out cold and put through the wringer at the same time,” Beefeater continued.

“Bozes? Is that you?” a familiar voice asked from the side.

“What? How are we at the Jade Palace?” another very similar voice followed up.

“Princess Pina!” Bozes shouted. “Princess Chocolate!” Beefeater yelled, galloping over to where the princess was lying, quickly offering their hands to help them onto their four legs.

“Yes, it’s us. But how did we get here?” Chocolate asked, looking around the area. “Last thing I remember is being taken hostage by our brother and thrown into the dungeon. I was honestly losing hope,” Pina added. “Yeah, me too,” Chocolate agreed.

“I can’t believe Prince Zorzel would do something like that. It is unacceptable!” Bozes spoke, stomping onto the ground with one of her hooves.

“To answer your question, princess: We don’t really know. A girl came along, offered us a wish, we wished for your freedom and the next thing we knew was that you were here.” Beefeater explained, making Chocolate nod along.

Clop, clop, clop, clop

“Captain! Bad news!” Another twin-headed centaur knight galloped towards them, cutting their reunion short.

“It’s the purgers! They are back… and they have what looks like the entire imperial army with them!” The other head spoke, shocking both the commander and the princesses.

But those four simply smiled at each other after a brief moment of silence.

“We’ll take command! Follow us!” Chocolate said as the princesses galloped forwards, the other centaur knights not far behind them.

“Knights of the Order of the Rose!” Pina began when they reached the army camp where all of her knights were waiting, each pair more ready for battle than the next.

“You have done well surviving this crucial battle up until this point and now we are here to end the fighting once and for all.”

“If we can win this fight, then we have the opportunity to evacuate everyone out of the capital and relocate our base to Italica where the JSDF is waiting,” Chocolate continued, to which the two princesses gave each other a quick glance.

“So in the name of the third princess Pina Co Lada…” Pina spoke.

“...and in the name of the third princess Chocolate A La Mode…” Chocolate added.

“...we command you to fight for our people and push through our own misguided forces!” both said, simultaneously with grand hand movements, before turning around towards the incoming army and commanding: “Follow us!”

The order, of course, stampeded after them without a question.

—

“I am impressed how strong those centaur ladies of the Order have become. I mean, the army also has people on horses and they just get mowed down as if they were nothing,” Sherry said, lying on the ground while having Sugawara lean against her massive body.

“I have stopped making sense of the situation the moment you turned into a dragon, to be honest,” Sugawara responded, leaning backwards a bit more to look up to Sherry… even if her rather large chest was kind of in the way of seeing her face. “Honestly after this, I think I’ll claim a brief vacation.”

“Sounds great~ I would love to accompany you as your wife on that~. Teehee~!” Sherry giggled, leaning further forward to make Sugawara finally able to see her face again. Yap, she definitely still was a beauty from her waist up, that's for sure.

“Yeah, okay. I honestly don't mind taking you somewhere after this whole war-thing is over…” Sugawara replied, before falling silent for a bit.

“Something seems to be on your mind. Do you want to share it?” The dragon girl asked curiously, patting over his leg gently with her massive dragon claw to gain his attention.

Sugawara flatly answered: “...did that goddess just purposefully create a clone of princess Pina Co Lada, only to name her Chocolate A La Mode…? I am starting to understand why people say to not question the whims of gods…”

—

It's the battle for Jade Palast: Let’s see if a little bit more monstrous power can shift the tide of this battle.

Thanks again to T004 for drawing these sketches for my story~
