Chapter Three - Erigor & Virgo

Konata let Erza wield her, her sword body serving as an excellent melee weapon for the freakishly strong woman to wield and simply carve through the ranks of the Eisenwald guild. They'd come in force to meet the train, just like- she expected, but forgot about, because, she'd figured they'd be meeting Kageyama, yeah, that was it.

"If it is truly such an imposition on your privacy, to be wielded like this," Erza said, grunting as the sword swung neatly through the air, "perhaps you would prefer to be wielded by Lee instead?"

Lee was pretty good with his hands, but he was also not as good with a sword, so this made sense from an optimization perspective. Give the best gear to the highest level character. "I do not understand what that means, but if it is your wish, I will wield you with all my well-honed skill. I appreciate you placing your faith in me."

"What the hell is this Kageyama?" That was the leader of the Eisenwald guild, complaining and yelling at his employee's incompetence. He used his wind magic to propel himself away from Konata's incoming sword-body. She could feel Erza slow, just a minute amount, with exhaustion.

"I'm hardly tired at all," Erza said, but she could hear Erza's thoughts, the way she was now taking care with her breathing to remain oxygenated. "I see. The connection goes both ways." I will ask her what her relationship to Lee is later.

Konata would have to make sure to revert back to her normal form before then. Erza let out a small chuckle as she rushed towards Erigor, blade in hand. "If it's something you'd prefer to keep private, I can respect that."

"Damn flies, buzzing on about nothing! What the hell are you talking about?!" Erigor demanded, as he narrowly avoided another furious slash of Konata's body. She was trying to will herself to get that extra inch, but it wasn't quite enough.

It would probably be easier if Lee gave Erza a bit of extra juice. Natsu, Lucy, and Gray were preoccupied with the mass of Eisenwald guild members, churning their way through them like this was Dynasty Warriors. "Lee! Konata suggested you give me extra juice?" Erza called out, not taking her eyes off Erigor for a moment, her thoughts a constant stream of analysis, taking into account every single move her opponent was making. It was like something out of Death Note.

"She is correct. To waste my talents on this chaff was an act of foolishness on my part, Lady Erza." Konata could hear the doki-doki sound of Erza's heart at being called Lady Erza, and then the twitch as Erza realized as much. "Undo!" He cried out.

Erza felt relieved. All the sense of pain and exhaustion simply vanished in a moment. Fights could be quite taxing, more the longer they went on. Now she could easily bring the edge up against Erigor. The man tried to escape, hurriedly flying back and cursing - then Lee simply shouted out "Undo!" again and he was in arm's reach, screaming in surprise as she brought the flat of Konata's blade down upon the side of his head, sending him crashing to the ground below.

"Your skills are truly invaluable, Lee," Erza said, smiling as she continued to hold Konata in her arms. "Speaking of, are you and-" Konata transitioned back to being a normal human girl, currently being held upside down by the ankles by Erza, leaving her panties entirely exposed. To everybody on the train. Her hands went to cover up her panties even as she felt a flush to her cheeks. "My apologies," Erza said, putting the girl down on her feet now. "You should warn me before you turn back."

"I prefer to keep my secrets," Konata said, dusting herself off, trying to look cool. When you thought about it, she'd been the one to actually deal the final blow to Erigor, so, it made sense that she should feel cool and calm and collected, no matter what state of dress she was in.

"You weren't keeping a whole lot of secrets just then!" Came the perky voice of Happy, the annoying comic relief character that had to be in every anime. Normally she liked him well enough, but normally he wasn't making fun of her!

"I'm going to reveal the terrible secret of your tragic backstory if you don't back off," she said, her voice cold as ice. Happy hurriedly rushed behind Lucy, using her as a defense.

"She's scary, Lucy," Happy whispered in Lucy's ear.

"Why are you hiding behind me of all people?!" Lucy asked, practically screaming the question out, more a demand than a question proper.

"I... had something to tell you, actually?" Happy paused, struggling to remember. What was it he was talking about? Konata tried to remember. "Tasty, testy, tonsil..." he began muttering.

"Oh, you have the Virgo key," Konata said, suddenly realizing.

"What?" Lucy whipped her head around to face Happy, bewildered. "And what does that have to do with things that are tasty?! Have you been eating the key?!"

"No! I took it from Count Everlue!" Happy said, sounding proud of himself. He produced a golden key from... somewhere that Konata didn't want to spend too much time thinking about. It was hammerspace. Just hammerspace. "Well, actually, Virgo said her contract was void since he'd been arrested..."

"Aha!" Lucy said, raising one finger triumphantly. "This proves your prognostications false, Konata!" She pointed her finger directly at Konata in challenge. "You're not capable of seeing the future at all! Now tell me how you really knew my name!" She rushed forward, pinching Konata's cheeks and just pulling at them.

Ah... she'd forgotten that Lucy didn't get the Virgo key until the Eisenwald arc. "I just forgot that Happy was so dumb," Konata replied.

"What? I'm not dumb!" Happy started pulling at her cheeks too, joining in on the sadistic mistreatment that Lucy was putting her through as she had no choice but to meekly submit. Turning into a sword would let her read her thoughts, after all!

"It all kind of blurs together, you know? Help me, Lee," she said, raising one hand to the man who'd dragged her on his isekai adventure, fingers weakly clawing at the air. She wasn't really afraid or anything, Lucy was a big old softy deep down, but the pinching of her cheeks was getting painful.

Suddenly, there was Lee, and suddenly, there was Lucy's bra in his hands, getting experimentally played with. 60G, apparently. Lucy still hadn't noticed her missing bra. "Now you're going to tell me the real secret of how you knew my name, you little brat," Lucy demanded, getting increasingly steamed up.

"I know your bra size too," Konata said, though she couldn't actually smile, being abused by both Happy and Lucy at once.

"G-guh?! Lee!" Lucy hurriedly covered her top with one hand, fingers reaching out to grab the bra from him. With her letting go, Konata had no trouble at all getting Happy off her face, just beating away the flying cat with ease.

"Guh... Natsu... I've been beaten..." Happy moaned from the ground. He was totally exaggerating his pain, those were some light slaps.

"Oh, calm down. Lee can just heal you up, right, Lee?" Natsu said.

"He's not going to be healing anybody except himself when I'm through with him! Open the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" Lucy raised her key up to the air.

* * *

Virgo drew together her new body, much less massive in scope than the one that her previous master had preferred. The only similarity was the pink hair and the maid's uniform, the former a sign of her deep and loving heart, the latter a sign of her deep and loving service to her master or mistress, no matter who they may be. Her body type was more conventionally attractive than her last had been, but in no way would it outshine her new mistress's physique in the breast or buttocks, or her beauty in the face, and cause her to experience any jealousy.

"Did you call, Mistress?" She bowed low as she appeared.

"Wow! She lost weight!" Natsu said, seeming startled.

"Are you stupid? She's a completely different person!" It was her Mistress speaking, and she turned to face her. "A-ah, you look very different all of the sudden," Lucy said, her finger vaguely trembling.

"That is correct. As a loyal servant of my Master or Mistress, I will take the form that my Master or Mistress prefers, and faithfully do my work."

"Okay, great, now get my bra back from that guy!" Lucy pointed at a man, one wearing gently tanned skin, with lovely blonde-silver hair, a muscular chest, and the leering look of a man willing to punish any woman who dared to cause him troubles.

"As you wish, Mistress," Virgo stated, shifting her weight, ready to fight the man despite how handsome he was. Perhaps he would defeat and punish her, but she had to try her hardest not to allow that to happen.

"L-let's not use Mistress," her Mistress said.

"Very well then, Dominatrix."

"That's even worse!"

"How about 'Princess', then, Mistress?"

"Princess is great," her Princess said. "Now get my bra back."

"As you wish, Princess." She jet forward - and he immediately simply threw the bra directly at her face, blinding her momentarily. She pulled the bra off her face, and stepped back towards her Princess. "Here you are, Princess."

"N-never mind that," her Princess said, though she snapped the bra back from Virgo, "he totally stole your bra too!"

Hm. She did feel slightly drafty in the chest region suddenly. She glanced over at Lee, who was closely inspecting the bra she had been wearing when she had come into the human world. "I see." She stared for a long second at him, truly having no prior experience with a subject like this, then she realized what she had to do. "Princess, please punish me for failing to protect my brassiere." She leaned forward, presenting her ass to her Princess. Rather than spanking her, however, her Princess instead began tearing at her own hair for some reason.

How unfortunate.
