After Ikumi discovered that Harmonia was an intersex person, she explained everything to her in a way that even a child could understand. Gradually, Harmonia began to grasp what made her body different from that of both women and men. At first, she thought it was something simple, but as Ikumi continued explaining those differences, a quiet sense of realization began to settle within her.
Ikumi tried her best to keep her explanations clear and steady, even as her thoughts drifted back to what she had seen earlier—Harmonia's private part, more specifically, the thick penis she possessed. Her more primal, feminine side pressed insistently at the edges of her mind, threatening to take over. Still, she held herself together, maintaining her composure despite the heat building beneath her calm exterior.
After a while…
"So do you get the difference between the two now, Hamy-chan?"
"Yes, Sister Ikumi," Harmonia said, nodding her head at the new discovery she had come to understand.
"Good," Ikumi said as she stood up and removed her yellow apron. "And if you still have questions, feel free to ask me, okay?"
"Thank you, Sister," Harmonia replied. She stood up as well, then asked, "Are you going to open the shop now?"
"Of course, Hamy-chan. This is something my mother—even our older generations—have always done," Ikumi said, placing her yellow apron down on the table.
Harmonia simply nodded as she watched Ikumi move toward the corner of the kitchen, where her leather gloves were. She slipped them onto her hands, then reached for the brown hat with goggles and placed it on her head.
"Time to work," Ikumi said.
Hermay, can you please give me the 1,000 yen again?" Harmonia asked her.
"Of course," Hermay replied. From Harmonia's right hand, a 1,000 yen bill materialized in her palm. After a few seconds, the bill was fully formed.
"Then I'll go first, Sister Ikumi," Harmonia said as she walked to the living room.
Ikumi had already finished preparing and was watching her, still thinking about what she had seen earlier. "Hamy-chan, be careful on your way back, okay? There are a lot of bad guys out there." She was genuinely worried about this clueless girl.
"I understand, Sister," Harmonia replied.
Harmonia walked into the living room and saw Little Kaoru still sucking on the lollipop she had made, eyes glued to the TV.
She approached him from behind and called out, "Little Kaoru!"
Kaoru heard her sweet voice, turned around, and saw his big sister smiling as she slowly moved closer to him. "What is it, Big Sis?" he asked.
Harmonia leaned down slightly, extending her hand toward him. Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Little Kaoru… just like before."
Then she opened her palm, and Kaoru saw the bill money once again.
This was how Harmonia paid, leaving it in Kaoru's care.
Kaoru said, "Big Sis, you know you don't have to pay. Even Mom has told you that many times."
Harmonia said, "It's okay, Little Kaoru." She smiled, keeping her hand out, waiting for him to take the money.
Kaoru just shook his head. This stubborn big sister wouldn't pull her hand back and would wait until he grabbed it—he knew that very well, just like before. So he took it using his left hand and said, "Well, I'll give it to Mom later."
Harmonia nodded, then patted Kaoru's head. "I'll go now. Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye," Kaoru replied.
Harmonia then withdrew her hand, straightened her posture, and turned around. She noticed that Sister Ikumi was already wearing the blouse she used while working, so Harmonia spoke, "Sister, I'll go now. Bye-bye."
Ikumi looked at her and replied, "Hamy-chan, be careful on your way back, okay?"
"Yes, Sister," Harmonia answered, waving her hand before slowly making her way toward the shop's entrance. The sliding door was open, so she lowered her head and bent slightly to avoid hitting the upper frame of the doorway. After stepping outside the shop, she called out once more, "Bye-bye."
She then heard little Kaoru say, "Goodbye, big sister. Thank you for the candy." The other voice belonged to Sister Ikumi, who added, "Goodbye, and come by whenever you want."
She smiled and slowly stepped out of the shop. As she walked, her crimson eyes swept across the surroundings, catching sight of a big box—or perhaps a car—lingering at the corner. Her pace remained steady as she reached the residence gate.
She continued her unhurried stride, leaving the Unagiya shop behind. Her gaze then wandered along the quiet street. On one side, there were numerous houses and neighboring residences, closely lined together. On the opposite side, where her home stood, there was nothing but trees and wide open spaces stretching across the entire length of the road. From where she stood, her house was the only structure visible.
"Harmay, what should I do today?" Harmonia asked.
[Dear~ how about heading back home first?]
"Going back home… well, I was actually planning to sleep again. Did you read my mind, Harmay?"
[Naturally~ and the copying of the pure spiritual essence is now reaching one hundred percent.]
"Really? Hmm… pure spiritual essence? Do you think that would taste good?"
[Well, who knows? But it seems this essence is something more than what it appears to be.]
Harmonia continued walking toward her house, which appeared more like a haunted residence from a distance.
As she moved forward, she kept her attention on her surroundings, her steps steady as she spoke with Hermay, continuing their discussion about the essence being copied.
"You mean it's not just a source, but something entirely different?"
[Yes, and this will greatly affect both the system and you.]
"Even me?.."
[Yes. And because I am bound to you and I'm also absorbing and copying the Pure essence, your body is becoming a medium for this pure spiritual essence.]
"Is that a good thing, Hermay?"
[I don't know as well, but you will greatly benefit from it.]
"Hm… I don't really get it. But if you say so, then it must be fine."
Harmonia continued her slow walk and soon reached the gate of her house. She pushed it open, stepped inside, and closed it behind her. She followed the cobblestone path and arrived at the stairs. Carefully, she climbed step by step until she reached the top, which led to the first wooden floor of the house.
She moved toward the door and gently pushed it open. Her crimson eyes scanned the same dim interior—the supposed living room—yet it remained empty, so barren that even insects like mice, cockroaches, spiders, and other creatures seemed to avoid the place entirely, as if something about it repelled them.
Harmonia stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She removed her slippers and placed them neatly near the entrance, then walked barefoot across the wooden floor toward her room.
Arriving at the sliding door, she grasped the handle and slid it open. She entered slowly and closed it behind her once more.
Her crimson eyes surveyed the simple room. The primary source of light came from the sunlight streaming through the single window. She then dismissed the second coat she was wearing; it dissolved into pink smoke and vanished. She also removed the black hoodie, which likewise transformed into pink smoke and disappeared. Harmonia was now back in her white tank top, which barely covered the lower half of her chest.
"Huu… finally I can breathe properly."
Without waiting, she also dismissed the white dress, and just like the jackets, it dissolved into pink smoke and disappeared.
She was now back in her white skirt that reached her thighs, unable to conceal her rounded hips, subtly outlining her figure.
She walked toward the mattress on the floor. Then she bent down, and she could feel her body reacting as she struggled to hold herself back.
"Ahm~"
She placed both hands on the soft mattress, slowly bending her knees. Her body trembled as she tried to maintain control.
"Ahh~"
She shifted into a position on the bed, her hands supporting her as her knees continued to shake.
"Uhm~"
She gradually adjusted her posture, stretching her long legs across the mattress.
"Huuu… r-really hard… but it feels… good."
After finally settling onto the soft mattress, she let out a heavy breath while still struggling against the sensations she was feeling. Her eyes grew hazy, half-lidded, and her mouth parted as she gasped for air.
"Uhmm~ I-… it feels good…"
"Huuu…"
Unlike before, when she could not control herself and would freely express her reactions, this time she managed to hold herself back. It was a sign she was adapting to the sensations.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ ahh~"
"H-hermay… I feel strange again…"
[Dear~ that's natural.]
"O-okay… ahm~"
Her chest rose and fell with each deep breath. Even her body reacted subtly, her form moving with every breath she took.
"Ahh~ hah~ hah~ hah~"
Harmonia was clearly trying her best to remain in control, and the result showed her growing discipline and determination.
Her right arm rested across her forehead, her face flushed a deep red, while her left hand pressed lightly against her lower abdomen, her fingers feeling the warmth of her own skin.
"Huuu~"
