Early morning.

With a drowsy face, still rubbing her half-open eyes, Sarah got out of bed in her pajamas, washed her face first, and then got dressed.

“Ugh..!”

Being the earliest riser, she started her morning by taking out the sunstone lamp that was hung in the second-floor hallway and hanging it in a sunny spot on the outer wall of the inn. The sunstone needed to absorb a lot of sunlight during the day.

For the few guests having breakfast, she pushed a pot of soup close to the fireplace-like stove, piled kindling such as hay and dry leaves on the half-burnt logs, and struck a flint against a piece of iron to light a fire.

“Is Ewan still sleeping..?”

Sarah knew that he always ate breakfast and then moved around. In the medieval era, it was normal to have two meals a day, but in the labyrinth city, many people ate three meals.

Ewan had been out until a bit late last night. It was just past 8 a.m. now, so she thought he probably wasn’t awake yet.

‘I should tell him to have breakfast and then go back to sleep.’

With that thought, Sarah went back up to the second-floor hallway and opened the door to the room Ewan always used at the end.

“Hyat..!? “

There, lying comfortably on the bed in just his underwear, was Ewan.

“Oh, oh my..! I’m sorry, Ewan..!”

Covering her eyes slightly with her hand, Sarah slowly peeked through her fingers to look at Ewan.

“So, you’re really asleep, right…?”

Unlike her own, his thighs and calves were packed with hard muscle.

Deep, defined abs and, slightly angled, a glimpse of sharply cut obliques. Broad, shallow, closely-packed pectorals and, spiderweb-like, thick veins pulsing across his thick forearms.

Even though it was the same bed as hers, his wide shoulders made it look narrower.

But what bothered her most of all was.

‘T-that’s a penis…!’

Inside his loose, wide trunks, a masculine member straining like a prisoner desperate to tear through its confinement.

Yuon was sleeping as still as the dead, so Sera couldn’t understand why a penis whose owner was asleep was in an aroused state.

‘Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable like that…?’

It looked truly painful to her. His manhood was suffering due to his underwear being too small.

The parts used for reproduction, whether male or female, were the most precious parts that should be protected. Sera, well aware of this, moved to rescue Yuon’s penis, whimpering within the uncomfortable prison of his small underwear.

‘I-it looks painful… I’m just going to get it out…’

One of the things hard to find in the Middle Ages was elastic material, so the waistband of Yuon’s trunks wasn’t elastic but tied with a string.

It was a knot that could be easily pulled to loosen it, but it was a knot tied by Yuon himself, a man of immense strength.

‘W-why won’t this come undone…?’

Sera, thinking that she could easily pull the knot loose, carefully extended her pale, slender fingers and tugged at the knot of Yuon’s underwear.

‘Eeit…!’

It was actually a short moment of about five seconds, but for Sera, it felt like a truly agonizing amount of time. If Yuon were to wake up right now, the sight of herself in his eyes would be utterly ridiculous.

No, it wasn’t just a matter of being ridiculous. Wasn’t she trying to remove the tightly knotted underwear of a sleeping man just to look at his junk?

She would undoubtedly be rumored to be the number one lecherous woman in the labyrinth city.

* * *

Sliiiiide-

“Ah! It’s undone!”

Just as the shrunken heart thumped wildly, I thought his sleeping, excited dick would finally taste the world, the knot having come loose.

“So tight…!”

Because the underwear tapered slightly towards the waist, untying the knot didn’t immediately make his member pop out like a snake’s head.

But something else was released instead.

“Th-this is…”

The air trapped inside the underwear, relatively still due to being blocked on one side, began to freely escape thanks to the loosened knot.

“H-huh, huhh…”

She inhaled the indescribable, subtle scent and her nose, red as a beet, inched closer to Yuhan’s dick.

“I, I’m cr-crazy…!”

She snapped back to reality and stopped.

But Sera was far from settled.

“Ugh… this should be more comfortable… right?”

From the beginning, the reason she loosened the knot of Yuhan’s sleeping underwear wasn’t to ogle his dick, but to relieve the discomfort of his swollen member.

But of course, that was a lie to protect herself.

The truth was, she just really wanted to see Yuhan’s dick.

“C-calm down! Anything more here is…”

Was she going to undo all the effort she’d put into untying that tight knot and give up now?

Or would she force herself to pull down the underwear and finally see his dick?

I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that request.

Re-adjusting my slipped pants, I pulled my clothes back on and went downstairs.

“Sera. Good morning.”

“Ugh, uh… it’s 1 pm… afternoon….”

“Ah, looks like I woke up too late.”

“No… it’s okay….”

The results of practicing my skills all night were astounding. Just like Ravi predicted, I succeeded in using my skills as I wanted, and thanks to that, I managed to convert either an entire forearm, or an entire leg, into dire wolf muscle.

And the most surprising thing was this.

‘Is this a third sight?’

It’s the vision as seen through the eyes of the dire wolf pack leader. It’s like a thermal camera, where people appear to glow brightly. I had no clue what it was.

But I eventually figured it out: this was a mana sensing eye that could see mana. Of course, looking for too long gave me a headache, so I had to switch back to the eyes of a regular wolf.

I guess trying to use abilities I wasn’t born with puts a strain on my brain.

And, after much deliberation about whether or not to try it, worrying about the side effects… I finally succeeded.

-Thump- -Thump- -Thump-

Even when I was still, the dire wolf’s heart showed off its immense pumping power. And the dire wolf’s lungs, absorbing even more oxygen. All from the pack leader’s body, they had incredible performance.

Of course, I can’t keep them running all the time. Over-supplying my body with oxygen with the pack leader’s lungs and heart when I’m not doing anything makes me feel dizzy, like I’m blowing up a tube with my mouth.

So I decided that I would use them only during combat, when I would be using the dire wolf muscles a lot, before my body ran out of oxygen.

This is a tremendous achievement. Let’s summarize the effects of my skill:

1. I can replicate the bodies of animals I eat with my mouth. Plants seem to be completely impossible.

2. I can replicate cooked things, but I can’t use them. Chewing and swallowing is fine, but cooked things seem to be too modified at the cellular level.

3. I can control it with my will. The fact that injured parts were changing to dire wolf muscle was from an instinctual urge to return the body to its original state.

4. Organs can also be changed, and it seems that their size can be adjusted to fit the body.

5. By drinking blood, one can gain the magical power of that entity. There may be exceptions where the blood is absent or the blood does not contain magical power.

This seems like a pretty good skill. The best part about knowing the skill’s ability is that there’s no need to get hurt anymore.

Until last time, I thought the injured parts were replaced with the monster’s organs, but now I know that’s not the case.

“With this… I can make a ton of money.”

I can’t wait to get into the labyrinth. If I encounter a monster with strong physical power, I just need to eat its muscles.

If the monster has strong magical power, I just need to drink its blood.

“Cobalt is not just an unattainable dream.”

I can even reach the level of Cobalt, which is called the borderline of a top explorer.

“Phew, shall we head to the labyrinth?”

All that’s left is to become stronger.
