Chapter 110.1
Jerome
Hello. My left leg has turned into slime, and my body has become a rock-hard Amazoness muscle man. If I were to introduce myself like this, I'd probably be met with a [What are you talking about?] But it's the truth, so there's nothing I can do about it.
Fortunately, the prosthetic leg I have is infused with the soul of a red slime from my left leg, and the sensation has returned. The prosthetic leg and the insect king suit fit perfectly even when taking on a female body shape.
The precision of this magical transformation correction never ceases to amaze me. Still, if I were to complain about not having a leg or my body turning into a woman, I'd likely be laughed at by a fully cybernetic sister with only her brain remaining.
Well, there have been various challenges, but I'm still alive. So, I'll keep living without giving up. Well, I've twisted quite a bit and have become quite warped, but I'm still here.
…..
So, today, just like any other day, I was diligently making smoked goods on the first basement floor.
You know, making smoked goods is great. It's a time to just space out, feeling the smell and sound of meat being smoked on cherry wood chips. It's a time to zone out without thinking about anything. These soothing moments are something to cherish.
Back when I didn't have many friends, even during my student days and before starting my job, I often went on solo camping trips on my motorcycle. During those times, I found solace in the flames of a campfire and the brilliance of a starry sky. Now that I have time alone again, maybe going on a camping trip on my motorcycle sounds like a good idea.
…..
So, a day has passed, and my body is still that of a woman. I mean, what's going on?
"Hmm, well, whatever. I'll think about that later. Status!"

[Salt Blessing]
Skills:
[Strong Acid 2], [Agility], [Disease Resistance 6], [Usurpation], [Slime 5], [Space 4], [Good Luck 1.4], [Footwork], [Meditation], [Salt 5], [Art], [Maggot], [Female]
Titles:
[Bug King], [Salt Mate], [Salty Guy], [Bug Queen], [Woman Slayer]
Hmm… So, I activated [Usurpation] towards the Fly Queen, as if saying [Give up everything!] The skills I could have taken through its effect are [Maggot] and [Woman]. I can't believe it could even snatch the gender of the queen.
"But [Maggot], seriously? That's just. (scratch, scratch)."
I scratch my head vigorously, thoroughly annoyed.
"This is it? Without a doubt, the maggots summoned by the Fly Queen will show up, right? Whether [Salt] or [Acid], I can magically produce those things with that skill. But it's not a trap skill where I become a maggot, right? That would be way too unpleasant. Okay, let's put the confirmation of [Maggot] on hold! What's next?"
Having defeated the Fly Queens, the titles I obtained are [Insect Queen] and [Woman Killer]. [Bug Queen] is understandable. The boss on the 10th floor was clearly the Fly Queen. Whether cockroaches or flies, they seem to have existed since ancient times. Of course, their history is longer than that of humans.
From the Cretaceous period, about 145 to 65 million years ago, there are fossils of flies called Trichomyia lengleti found inside opaque amber. Flies are often associated with gathering around rotting meat, garbage, or feces. However, for the maturation of ovaries and testes, they consume various foods as a protein source, just like humans. In ancient Egypt, people painted the area around their eyes green, like eyeshadow, to prevent flies from bothering livestock and humans, causing harm to the eyes.
As for the green eye makeup, it was due to the presence of copper in the peacock stone. It wasn't just makeup; it was something that expected the bactericidal effect of copper. If I weren't wearing the Insect King suit, I would have undoubtedly been harassed by those giant flies. Among flies, there are even dangerous ones with blood-sucking habits. Those giant flies were probably among those dangerous ones.
The other title, [Woman Killer]. Yeah, I killed her—the Fly Queen. But isn't it harsh? I've been dissed again with the title [Woman Killer]. What's going on? Following [Salty Guy], it's happening again. Hey, Title0san, do you hate me or something?
Oh well, for now, the effects of the titles are still unknown.
If I was revered by the giant cockroaches with [Bug King], maybe now, with [Bug Queen], I'll be revered by the giant flies. Since I've turned into a woman, having this title wouldn't be strange. Sigh…
