Chapter 43 - Walking and a Set of Clothes

In all my years as a man I had never been with a woman so seeing Sam turn red and squeal was humiliating. But thankfully the lady from the inn saw what was going on and came out with a blanket for me and gave Sam directions to the closest shop. All the while I was getting fed info from the system.

After hearing the last remark from the system I reached up and felt the frilled gills under my jaw. They pulsed a little with my own heartbeat. I continued to lay on the ground as my body recovered from the strain it had been put through. My shield wings had folded over my arms covering everything from my chest to my ankles. And finally.... I was warm. My feeling my own body heat eminate out was wonderful as I finally fell asleep.

...🦇...

I was woken the next morning by Sam poking my face with her finger. "Sam... You do know that poking someone's face in the morning is rude Yes?" I opened my eyes to see her red blushing face as she held out a small bunch of clothes.

" I didn't know your size so I got what I thought would fit or be slightly big."

I slowly took the clothes and went behind a wall. A man suddenly called out to me from Sams side. "Do you need help dressing Ignis? I doubt you've worn clothes before." Calfus called as he walked up to stand next to Sam. "I'll be fine!" I yelled back as I cut a small hole in the pants with my clawed finger so my tail could swing freely. It took a couple minutes for me to get dressed. I had to alter my clothes alot in order for me to get dressed. The only things that really saved me were the belt and cloak that Sam got me. I put the belt on the pants because they were huge on me and made me look as though I came from an Arabian country.

The Cloak covered me almost completely.

As I was dressing I noticed I had become thinner but in exchange I had become taller. (I must be at least 7 feet tall.) I thought.

I had to lean on the wall to keep myself up. ( Obviously my sense of balance will take a while to get back.) I saw a thick staff sticking around the corner of the wall as Calfus spoke quietly. "I figured you'd need a walking stick till you get used to walking like us two legged beings."

I slowly reached out, took the staff, and leaned on it kind of awkwardly.

"Thank you." I said slightly embarrassed.

I took my time getting around the wall and over to Sam. I dwarfed her by a good two feet. My horns didn't scrape on anything but they made it so I had to bend down even lower to get through doors.

As we left the barn I felt a small breeze. Goosebumps rose on my skin as it went past. I felt the crackle of my nerves firing to try and warm myself. I wrapped the cloak around myself slightly tighter and took a breath through my nose. I smelt bread and food.

( I missed this) I thought in ecstasy.

It had been many years since I last smelled something through normal means rather than having to flick my tongue and taste it all. I hobbled with Sam holding my right side and the dwarf on my left. We continued into the inn and the lady brought some stew and bread for me.

" You were a surprise. Haven't seen a monster turn into a man before." She said as she put the food down. "Eat up. An ordeal like that needs food." She walked away back to the kitchen. My stomache growled at the smell. I ate and ate. It took 3 rounds of stew and 1 loaf of bread to get me full. ( I'm so grateful for a smaller stomache! I thought happily.)

A while later I went ahead and started practicing walking around the room. We stayed in the city of Crystal (as I came to call it) for 2 weeks. Bram had someone make me some specialty leather clothes. His opinion was that he wanted us as comfortable as possible in his city.

During this time my proficiency at walking increased to the point that I was able to run.

When we went to leave Sam gave me the pack so I could increase my balance on the road. Bram walked with us to the gates. But before we left I had one last talk with Yi Ze.

She was dumbfounded. { HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO EVOLVE AGAIN AFTER YOU GOT HERE!?!} was what she said. It took a little time to explain what happened. After I told her everything she simply nodded. { To think your system was such a handy thing. Most monsters have to evolve through arduous life threatening situations. You just have to eat what you want and eventually you'll be stronger than myself.}

Her nose came close and touched my chest pushing me over. {But don't let that go to your head. You'll meet a foe one day you'll have a hard time against. I hope you'll be strong enough to understand the situation and not only survive. But grow.}

Yi Ze bowed slightly to me as I cupped my hands to her in the distance "Thank you Elder." I whispered. With that I turned and went my way with Sam.
