Victory declaration

It was the most intense battle I'd ever experienced.

The finals. And the one who claimed victory was… me!!

"Hah, hah… that was close…!"

"Gnuuugh, if using magic to put on the helmet had been banned just one round earlier…!"

"Well, even so, I still had a ring left on my arm, so I would've won anyway."

For the record, the rules kept getting additions and bans until it finally turned into a plain old Slap-Hat Janken match.

… I mean, a referee who could catch Misha's delayed throws even came out from the audience to put a stop to her cheating. That meant I couldn't secretly use magic either, you know? Though I definitely did use it until the rule changes banned it.

(By the way, the extra referee was General Garou in a mask who just happened to be passing by. Do you have that much free time?)

Misha covered her crotch with her tail, hid her chest with her left arm, and removed her very last piece of clothing - her pantyhose - presenting it to me.

As for me, I was hiding my chest with my hair, pantyless with only my petticoat remaining, using my left hand to cover my rear while receiving the still-warm pantyhose with my right.

"I got iiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!"

I raised the pantyhose high and declared victory.

"The champion is Contestant Karina!! What an unprecedentedly heated battle between both contestants, give them a round of applause!! Also, where can I go to request them?"

"We're not for sale!!! Too bad for you!!!"

"Aww! How cruel!!"

I picked up and gathered the clothes I'd stripped off, then hurried back to the contestants' seating area.

"Dea-kun, I won!!"

"C-congratu… lations… Um, th-that's, please put on your clothes! Clothes!"

"Oops, sorry sorry."

Dea-kun was flustered, face bright red. Covering his face with his hands while peeking through the gaps between his fingers… wait, he's not looking! What!? If it were me, I'd definitely be looking in this situation!?

Anyway, I got dressed again.

"… Um, now that the tournament's over, could you dress me too? I can't put these on by myself…"

"Oh, right. Actually, it's so like you to dutifully stay undressed until the tournament ended."

"Because, those were the rules…"

With a snap of my fingers, Dea-kun was back in his Gothic Lolita Dress.

… He let out a relieved "Phew," but does he realize he's crossdressing in a cute girl's outfit? He's totally become a girl now…!

I got the prize money too, so maybe I should buy some accessories for Dea-kun… Actually, maybe I should buy raw gemstones and have the Five Elders craft them into something?

I'll pay for labor at cost, and the skill fee I'll pay in bed!

"Myaaaaaah… I can't be a bride anymore nyaaa!! This is your fault, Karina!"

"What? You're the one who invited me to the tournament, Misha. Isn't this your own fault?"

"You should've just obediently lost, nya! I didn't want a fight, I just wanted revenge on you, nyaaaa!!"

Well, I was thoroughly embarrassed this time too, so I'd say she got her proper revenge.

"Oh, Karina-chan. Delivery, delivery! Also, bring Misha-chan along! There's something I want to investigate."

Huh? … What? What does she want to investigate…

"… Ah, um. Misha, I need to talk to you, so can you come with me for a bit?"

"Ehh, I kinda don't wanna nya."

"The thing is, I got a telepathic message from someone I can't say no to… or rather, a divine oracle…?"

"… Hah??? Wait, stop joking around nya. If you impersonate a god, divine punishment will come down nya? I heard a whole country was destroyed because of that recently nya?"

Don't worry, don't worry, ours is the real deal.
