Chapter 51: “Pure Chaos, Huh?”

—Beautiful legs.

The reason Natsuki Yura had such a thing for beautiful legs went all the way back to his childhood.

Nothing dramatic, really.

One day, when he’d gotten lost while out and about, he’d been on the verge of tears but stubbornly refused to cry—

“What’s this? You lost, kid?”

—when a slightly rough-sounding older girl came to his rescue.

She was tall, and little Natsuki couldn’t even see her face clearly.

All he saw, filling his entire field of vision, were her long, flawless legs.

Later, he reunited safely with his mom, and parted ways with the beautiful-legs onee-san after just a brief thank-you.

But those legs… were burned into his heart, his mind, and even his soul.

—And from that day forward, Natsuki was firmly, irrevocably… a legs guy.

■

“Man… what a twist of fate! I came to Kyoto to slaughter Shuten Doji and the merry Abe clan, and here I am, blessed with the sight of perfect legs… Guess I’ve really made it big.”

“…You just said that out loud, y’know?”

“Ohhh, Nacchan, you honest boy!”

Smack!

Koume, now back to her normal self and out of her ahegao mode, smacked Natsuki on the head.

Only then did he realize his inner thoughts had slipped out of his mouth.

Even a Hero from another world couldn’t keep his composure in front of the sudden transformation of Tamamo-no-Mae into a busty, beautiful-legged goddess.

“…Well, my legs are better anyway!”

“Absolutely! Koume-chan’s legs are unmatched!”

“As long as you understand that, we’re good.”

“Thanks, ma’am!”

Just a glimpse of Koume’s divine legs, even through her jeans, was enough to snap Natsuki back to reality.

The subtle line from her ankle to her shin seemed to guide him like a shining beacon.

“Hey! Leg-Fetish Hero and Character-Building Angel Lady! Quit your comedy act and help us out here! Sado’s in trouble!”

“Uh, Senju-san? The way you said that makes it sound like I’m the leg… which, like… I’m not trying to become one, okay?”

“Nobody said that! Sado just passed out from seeing Tamamo-no-Mae-sama!”

“No way?!”

“Unbelievable, huh?! As expected of a beauty who could topple nations. Fine then! Tamamo-no-Mae! I hereby acknowledge you as my rival!”

Koume pointed dramatically at Tamamo-no-Mae, who had just returned from her ahegao state and now looked flustered.

“Uh… being declared your rival out of nowhere is kinda troubling, though?”

“First of all, drop that speech pattern—you’re totally ripping me off, you little—!”

Koume glared at her new “rival,” but ultimately left her be, while Natsuki approached the unconscious Yusuke with a pained look on his face.

“—Yusuke-kun… to think you’d be so moved by Tamamo-chan’s ahegao that you went full ahegao yourself…”

“No—just, no. What even is this? This is way too stupid! Forget this nonsense—let’s just hurry up and go kill Ibaraki Doji already!”

Senju, finally fed up with all the chaos, decided to dump every single problem on Ibaraki Doji and call it a day.

Watching this ridiculous scene unfold, Shinonome simply muttered:

“Well… guess I can finally relax now.”

And just like that, all the tension he’d been holding onto felt utterly pointless.
