E5: Every Deity Needs a Maiden

Anna was hiding in the kitchen of her home, staring out every once in a while to see if the Ryu-Demon thing had moved any closer. She sat on the ground, her tail coiling around her before going under one of the chairs. Her poker face always seemed looked on Anna whenever she peeked. It made her hide again, before poking her head out once more to check on her.

"Do you not believe me?" Mizuki asked. "I really am Mizuki, your neighbor! The orb has just changed me, but I'm still her!"

"Yeah right," Anna said, not falling for any weird motives she could have. "What did you do with the real Mizuki? Where is she!?"

"She is right here! Anna, you're always like this with new people," Mizuki said, sighing in disappointment. She had to figure out how to convince her friend before someone else came and made the situation worse. She tried materializing the orb of the spirit, putting it in the palm of her hand. "Hey, I still can't take this off!" She tried, trying to jar memories of from before she left. "Hot water, huh?"

"A demoness could easily have taken your memories! Scram!" Anna said, ducking back behind the wall. Mizuki was back to square one, only with less time to figure something out. She thought some more, but if memories weren't going to work, then her mind was out of ideas.

Anna waited from the safety of the room she was in, but she heard the sound of clothing hitting the ground. She peeked back around, seeing the evil spawn removing her kimono from her body. Anna got a mix of unwanted arousal and fear, seeing her breasts practically jump out of her clothing. Instead of witnessing an attempt at seduction though, she saw her fall on the floor, holding her fingers to her temples while she started to think hard. "What...are you doing?" Anna said.

"Clothes make me think less," Mizuki complained. "At least I don't have feet anymore. Now no one can tell me to wear shoes…"

'Mizuki never wore shoes,' Anna recalled. She always told her off for it, although Mizuki never listened. It wasn't just shoes or footwear either; on the rare moments she would tolerate her, it will always be ruined by Mizuki saying that "she felt tight" and having her clothes off faster than a fly could zoom.

Anna was finally starting to believe that demon-dragon there was Mizuki. She came out from her hiding spot, taking a stick with her as protection. The dragon didn't open her eyes, having to get poked in the boob before she noticed Anna. "Baka," Anna said, poking again. "I could have easily hit you in the neck, demon-spawn."

"I will never hurt you Anna, am I really that different?" The Ryu said.

"So, you really are her?" Anna asked, gripping the stick harder. The Ryu nodded, starting to smile. "Then that will make it all easier then!"

"What? Ow!" Mizuki got thwacked in the cheek, sending her reeling onto the floor. Thus began a barrage of attacks, as Anna repeatedly beat the Ryu down. "Baka, baka, baka! I told you will become a demon! Now look at you!" She said, pushing her stick into one of Mizuki's boobs. "You were nowhere this lewd before, and your legs are completely gone! How do you even walk? You will be shamed the moment you move back here." Anna's words hurt Mizuki more than the stick, which with her new body didn't do much damage at all.

"I'm not moving back here," Mizuki admitted, curling up in a ball. "I-I'm staying at the minka, i-in the scary forest…"

"So you just came to say bye, before you start your life of sex-less solitude," Anna presumed. "I won't stop you, you have always been a bother anyway." She turned around, standing rubbing her side. She didn't want to have to be the one to leave...

"No, I...I wanted to you come with me." Anna turned her head.

"As if I will go with a demon. You have brought your loneliness on yourself."

"But I need someone to help me with my duties!"

"What, to corrupt us?" Mizuki shook her head and pointed out the window. Anna rolled her eyes and looked out, seeing the crops blowing under the light of the moon. "Those are just the wheat, my friend."

"Yes, but...there really was someone watching over them. The superstition, it is real!" Mizuki enthusiastically said, sitting up on her tail. "But now I am the deity watching, and the spirit...it wanted someone to help me." She prostrated in front of Anna, her hair splaying all over the place from how fast she bowed down. "Please, be my Shirohebi!"

Every single brain cell in Anna pointed towards the obvious answer. She didn't even completely buy that Mizuki was the Ryu pleading to her like a slave. So what if she threw a fit over her neighbor, any concerned neighbor would be afraid for someone else. No need to follow her and be the only thing that could keep her company...although.

"Will I be taller?" Anna said out of the blue. "I just want to be more intimidating, that is all."

"Does that mean you're coming?" Mizuki said, hugging Anna before she could answer. "I'm so excited!"

"I am only coming if you make me taller!" Anna yelled out. "And get your breasts off me!"

"So Mizuki?" Anna said, being brought into the empty bedroom of the deity house. Candles were lit so Anna couldn't bump into anything, but there was nothing in the room that they could illuminate. Only the futon that she sat on, and the hard wooden floor below.

"Yes?" Mizuki called from the basement, sifting through the many scrolls of the basement. She remembered a few that had instructions for transformation, looking through scrolls so she could have a refresher. Finally, she opened one that started with something she recognized, taking it up to Anna. "Here it is, the s- tallness scroll," Mizuki lied. Anna saw through it, plucking the scroll out of her hands. "I am already here, so you might as well say what will happen to me. Am I going to get a degenerate look? Seduction powers? Big Boobs? Height?"

"No seduction abilities, and maybe the breasts, but this scroll is to turn you into a deity yourself, and my underling."

"No no no," Anna said, holding up a finger. "I will not be your underling. Do you even have any idea how to ripen crops?"

"Well, I read about it once…."

"Ah! Once," Anna said, hopping up to finger-bap Mizuki's nose. "You may have become this demon-deity thing, but you haven't mastered anything at all, have you?"

"I can cook very well, and fly!" Mizuki exclaimed, floating herself off the ground. Anna arched an eyebrow, staring at Mizuki until she gently touched back down on the ground. "Well, I can fly very well."

"Disappointing! You are the same Mizuki that abandoned me a moon ago! All you have now is flight and boobs. That spirit would be ashamed," Anna said, opening the scroll. "It's obvious what I have to do no, I can't be your underling." Mizuki nodded solemnly. "Right...well, I will take you back…."

"Take my back? No!" Anna said while skimming the page. "If I left, we will all die from starvation at the village! You don't need an assistant, you need proper supervision before you bumble something up...ah, here it is," Anna said, pointing at a point in the paper.

"You are able to speak Japanese?" Mizuki said, surprised.

"A fool that has eaten nothing but pig dung could read this. What, did the spirit need to help you with that too?" Anna scolded. "Am I the only one in the world that cares for being bilingual?" After getting a shameful glance from Mizuki, Anna scoffed again and continued reading. She held a hand out, the energy around her starting to gather in her palm. For someone who was only five feet, she had an immediate affinity for handling mana. Her clothing was immediately stretched as she increased in size (and height). Her ears became pointy like an elf's, but stayed as short as before. Her green eyes turned red, and her hair grew in length and volume until it covered her entire back like a curtain. Her legs did quite the unsightly fusion; she thankfully didn't have any pants on, or else they would have been torn to shreds as her legs fused into one, elongating tell. Mizuki caught her before she fell, helping her to the futon as her tail finished transforming into a radiant white.

"You're beautiful~" Mizuki said, "but something is missing…." as she spoke, the last of the mana flowed in her, a brilliant set of c cups growing out of Anna's breasts. "Dammit, I thought I had done the suppression proper," Anna said, as she disappointingly groped at her flesh. The addition of her bosom stretched her already tight clothes to the absolute limit. Mizuki started moving to undo the clothing, but Anna put up a hand. "Wait. I have the power of fire, there is a better method now." The clothes instantly started to burn with red, then blue, then white flames, incinerating to nothing before the particles could even go airborne. Mizuki screamed and instantly covered her eyes.

"Shut it!" Anna said, sitting up with a hand over her breasts, her tail tip flicking over to hover over her crotch. "Just give a kimono, or something…."
