Chapter 154: Do You Remember When, Sphinxlin Smith? (1/2)

Once outside of the apartment, I gave a brief stretch and was about to turn when a vaguely familiar voice spoke up beside me, startling me. What was with these people today, or was my brain just that fogged and filled up?

”Do you remember when I asked you about becoming one of your…” Kieta, the Sphinxlin, started to say to me but then exploded with light brighter than I had seen yet.

I had screamed yes in my head, only in frustration at being startled again, but it seemed to have some kind of effect on the change and intensity of it. The light was so fierce that the reflection from off the wood made it impossible to even turn to look until it was over.

The moment it started to fade, I turned quickly to see the older woman because I was worried about how her body would handle the change. I was glad I did and grabbed Kieta out of the air as her body rag-dolled.

The half Sphinx, half Goblin woman, fell into my arms, but she now looked much younger. I stood up with her in my arms, but I was unsure about what I was supposed to do next.

Keita's chest was rising and falling, and after a moment, she started to shift in my arms. Her eyes opened, making my own peel back as I stared into a series of moving cogs like I was staring at the gears inside of a watch.

”Is there something near my eye? And why are you holding...what are these?” Keita asked as she groped her breasts inside her shabby lab coat that was covered in stains.

To begin with, Keita didn't have any chest, and the improvement seemed to help barely at all. I guess when you are used to not having anything, every little bit counts.

While she was not the same kind of beauty as Veronica, Keita had her own sexy nerd appeal with light powder green skin and platinum blonde hair with a hint of blue. I could also feel that what Keita might lack in the chest was made up of a thick pair of lower assets.

”Sorry, you passed out on your feet, and those are your breasts,” I said with a grin, bending over to set the woman back on the ground.

”Oh, thank you… I need to go, but thank you! I will make you things that will help you! Too many things in my head right now, gotta run, sorry!” Keita said as she tried to walk backward and talk to me simultaneously, nearly tripping twice.

I nodded to her with a smile, and then Keita grinned back and ran off the back corner of the courtyard. There was a door open that was level with the ground, and Keita ran into it, slamming it closed behind her.

I chuckled to myself but then turned and activated my Fire Force Pact, and then Water Sphinx, Undine, and Earth Tsunalily Totems. I hadn't been using my abilities to the max, and I tried to shrink down, and I was surprised when I was able to reduce my size five times from what I was usually.

This would help me sneak into the city past the patrolling guards, but it would take me forever to get anywhere at this size. I would have to think of some way to move faster because I was sure that there were bugs that could run faster than me at this size!
