Takeshi was still in disbelief about the transformation he had undergone. He had now turned into a nine-tailed white fox girl, just as per his foolish request. Jiro could only look at his friend with a sympathetic gaze.
The God observed their reactions, then cleared his throat softly. "Now, it's your turn, Jiro. What is your wish?"
Jiro paused for a moment, contemplating his request. He glanced at Takeshi, who still looked confused by his transformation. "God, I... I don't know what to ask."
"Hmm, I understand," the God nodded. "How about you ask for something that can help both you and Takeshi on your adventure in this world?"
Jiro thought for a moment, then spoke firmly. "In that case, I want a power that can protect me and Takeshi. Something that can make us both stronger and able to face any obstacle in this world."
The God smiled broadly. "A good request, Jiro. I shall grant it." He raised his hand, and a magic circle appeared under Jiro's feet once more.
Jiro felt an extraordinary energy flow throughout his body. A strength he had never felt before flooded every cell within him. He could feel his muscles hardening, and an aura of power emanating from his body.
"This is Absolute Dominion, the greatest power I can bestow upon you," said the God. "With this, you can control minds, bodies, and even the natural elements around you. Use it wisely, Jiro."
Jiro looked at his hands in awe. He felt an extraordinary energy coursing through him, as if he could do anything. Takeshi, who had been silent all this time, now looked at Jiro with admiration mixed with a hint of envy.
"Now it's time for me to send you to the new world." The God raised his hand, opening a portal in front of them. "There, you will meet various races inhabiting this world. You will also face the mission of preventing the revival of the Demon King that will bring destruction. Prepare yourselves, young ones!"
Before Jiro and Takeshi could react, the God pushed them into the portal. In an instant, they both disappeared, swallowed by the new dimension.
Jiro and Takeshi were thrown through the portal opened by the God. They landed in the middle of a dense forest, near a clear river.
Takeshi, in his new form as a nine-tailed white fox girl, fell into the river with force. She splashed in headfirst, panicking and struggling to get up.
"Kyaa! Cold!" Takeshi screamed, trying to move her tails that felt strange on her new body.
On the other hand, Jiro landed gracefully and arrogantly. His brown eyes now turned into a deep purple, indicating the Absolute Dominion power that resided within him. His jet-black hair fluttered in the wind, giving him an aura that seemed cold and arrogant.
Jiro looked at Takeshi, still sitting in the river with a flat expression. He walked towards his friend, extending a hand to help her up.
"Come on, get up. We need to find a safe place quickly," Jiro said in a calm and authoritative tone.
Takeshi looked up, her pretty face adorned with a panicked expression. She accepted Jiro's hand and stood up, albeit a bit wobbly.
"J-Jiro, what happened to me? Why did I turn into a fox girl like this?" Takeshi asked with a trembling voice.
Jiro let out a soft sigh. "Do you remember your request to the God earlier? He granted it, and now you've turned into a nine-tailed white fox girl."
Takeshi was silent for a moment, trying to recall the previous events. Suddenly her eyes widened as if realizing her situation.
"Oh my gosh! I'm really a fox girl? This can't be!" she exclaimed in frustration.
Jiro observed Takeshi closely. Despite her different appearance now, Jiro could still recognize Takeshi's characteristic cheerful and somewhat silly nature.
"Don't worry, Takeshi. I will protect you, just as I always have," Jiro said in a soothing tone.
Takeshi looked up at Jiro with a hopeful expression. "Really, Jiro? Will you still be my friend even if I've changed like this?"
Jiro nodded slowly. "Yes, of course. You're still the Takeshi I know, no matter your appearance."
A smile of relief appeared on Takeshi's face. She felt reassured that Jiro still accepted her as she was, despite her transformation into a fox girl.
"Thank you, Jiro. I'm glad you still want to be my friend," Takeshi said sincerely.
Jiro responded with a slight smile. Despite his cold and arrogant demeanor, Jiro still cared deeply for Takeshi, his longtime friend since childhood.
After making sure Takeshi was okay, Jiro scanned his surroundings. They needed to find a safe place to rest and plan their next steps.
"Come on, Takeshi. We need to quickly find a safe place," Jiro prompted.
Takeshi nodded with enthusiasm. Despite her changed appearance, her adventurous spirit remained unyielding.
...
Jiro and Takeshi, in her form as a nine-tailed white fox girl, walked side by side through the dense forest. Around them, the unfamiliar and mesmerizing scenery captivated them both.
"Look, Jiro! That plant is so strange," Takeshi exclaimed excitedly, pointing towards a plant that glowed blue. "I've never seen anything like it before."
Jiro turned to look but quickly averted his gaze, his face slightly flushed. The sight of Takeshi, now appearing like a beautiful fox girl, made his heart race. It was no wonder; her new appearance was enough to awaken the depraved nature of any man who saw her, and Jiro was no exception.
At the moment, Takeshi's clothes, soaked with river water, clung to her, revealing her body contours clearly, which would arouse any man.
Jiro tried to hypnotize himself, whispering that the Takeshi before him was still his friend, a man, not a fox girl so alluring.
"Yeah, that plant looks different," Jiro murmured quietly, trying to keep his voice steady. "It seems like we are indeed in a world very different from our original one."
Takeshi nodded enthusiastically, her beautiful tails waving with her every movement. "This is amazing, Jiro! I can't wait to explore this world further. Who knows, I might find many interesting things, including other fox girls!"
Hearing Takeshi's words, Jiro unconsciously furrowed his brow. For some reason, the idea of Takeshi looking for other fox girls slightly bothered him. But he quickly shook his head, trying to dismiss the strange feelings that suddenly arose within him.
