Extra Episode — Rokuko Wants to Flirt With Keima

A thought struck Rokuko. She wanted to flirt with Keima more. With a homewrecking bug like Alca the Church of Light’s High Priestess aiming for Keima’s affections, Rokuko needed to give off such a lovey-dovey air in public with Keima that nobody else had an opportunity to approach them.

In the past, Rokuko had mostly kept to herself, but during Goren’s first wedding she made it known loud and clear that she was Keima the town chief’s partner. Everyone in town knew and accepted her position. But it wasn’t enough. It just wasn’t enough.

Keima hugged Rokuko and patted her head, sure. That made her happy and filled her life with meaning, sure, but still. She wanted to flirt in all sorts of ways beyond that. And when thinking about how to accomplish that, the heavens granted Rokuko with divine inspiration.

“Couldn’t we do some crazy special flirting if Keima used his {Ultra Transformation}...?”

Keima’s Hero skill, {Ultra Transformation}, was a power that let him, put simply, transform into anything. Since the skill’s fifth level let him transform into anything that existed in the past or present, anything Keima knew was fair game. Key word being “anything”. Rokuko still remembered the time Keima transformed into a Gigaplant monster and tentacle-groped Haku like it was yesterday.

“So basically, I have a lot of ideas and I want to hear your thoughts on them.”

“...But why me?”

“I don’t know why you called me over eitheeer.”

Rokuko had called Elulu the elf Ghost and Neruneh the Apprentice Witch over to her room. Reason being, well, they were both free at the time. Rokuko knew when the dungeon wasn’t busy and who had what shifts at the inn.

“Don’t elves live a really long time? I feel like you probably know a lot about this stuff.”

“I’m a half-elf, so I matured at about twenty years old... It’s fine, though.”

“I’m looking forward to your crazy ideas, Neruneh.”

“Okaaay, I’ll do my beeest.”

And so began the meeting on how best to flirt with Keima using his {Ultra Transformation}.

“So, here’s one idea I came up with.”

Put simply: The onsen strategy. Keima would transform into an onsen, and Rokuko would get inside. Her entire body would be enveloped by Keima’s hot water in the ultimate hug. Since it was a hug and not you-know-what, Keima should be fine with it. No doubt it would be a bold leap into modern flirting techniques.

“Couldn’t you just drink him insteaaad?”

“Drink him?! Keima?! Wait... That’s actually a good idea,” Rokuko mused.

“Nonono. Please wait, Rokuko. If you separate the water, what will happen when Master undoes the transformation?!”

“Keima will be fine. Even if he dies, he’ll just revive.”

“What will happen to you if he revives inside of your stomach?!”

Ah. Rokuko hadn’t thought of that. In the event of Keima re-forming inside of her body, he might have to escape by tearing through her stomach.

“Good on you for catching that. This is it. That kinda thought is why I wanted to talk things through. Here, I offer you a melon roll as thanks.”

“Th-Thank you very much... Ah, this offering tastes delicious!”

“I’ll tell Keima this is an important experiment and have him try it on a Goblin later,” Rokuko said.

“If you’re going to test it on a Gobliiiin, why not do foood, instead of an onseeen?”

“That would be a bit faster... and food, hm? That’s not a bad idea either.”

Rokuko thought deeply. Food... Consider candy. Keima could turn into candy which Rokuko could eat. Is that not something more powerful and intimate than a kiss? No, wait. Was she about to let a Goblin do that with Keima? Something more powerful and intimate than a kiss?

“...Forget about the Goblin experiments.”

“Oh? But then we can’t be sure you’ll be safe, Rokukooo.”

“Ngh...! Forget about this whole train of thought! It’s over!” Rokuko declared. She didn’t intend to risk her or Keima’s life through flirting. There was no point if they just died.

...But she did want to try it out at some point if the opportunity arose. She made a little mental note of the idea to stash away in the corner of her mind.

“Okay, with safety in mind, this is my next idea.”

Next was clothes. Basically, Keima would transform into a sock, and Rokuko would wear it. Considering Keima’s foot fetish, the next step would be a shoe.

“Isn’t that genius? I’d be wearing Keima!”

“Oooh! There would be a lot of contaaact, and it would be totally saaafe!”

“Right?! I feel like Keima will start transforming into socks at the sight of me after we do this!” Rokuko said, puffing out her chest with pride at Neruneh’s praise.

“It’s certainly an impressive idea, Rokuko, but, um... I think there might be a problem with this. From your perspective, won’t it just be you wearing a normal sock? Would that be okay with you?”

“...Ah?!”

She hadn’t even considered that. Elulu’s observation cut straight to the core of what lovey-dovey flirting truly was. After all, lovey-dovey was a two part word: just lovey or just dovey wouldn’t cut it. They BOTH had to be lovey and dovey for the flirting to truly be lovey-dovey!

“Ngh, I’ll have to rethink that idea... Good job, Elulu. Have a second melon roll.”

“Um, can I have another kind of roll please? I’d like a cream roll!”

Rokuko presented Elulu with a cream roll for her esteemed service. Neruneh looked on with envy, wishing Rokuko the Dungeon Core would praise her as well.

“I need to think of something toooo... Aaah! What if he transformed into a Ghost and overlapped with youuu?!”

“Overlapped...?! That’s fresh!”

It was an idea born from looking at Elulu. A Ghost could ignore physical limitations and position itself over someone else’s body, creating overlap. Doing so would allow Keima and Rokuko to flirt closer than anyone ever had before.

“Neruneh, that’s a top tier idea. Have a melon roll.”

“I’d like a sandwich pleaaaase. An egg sandwiiich.”

Neruneh ate the egg sandwich Rokuko gave her with a smile.

“Transforming into a monster opens up lots of options. Keima couldn’t do anything as an onsen, but as a Slime he could move around,” Rokuko said thoughtfully.

“Weeell, the question is if you could really see the thing Master transforms into as Master, riiight?”

Rokuko’s eyes shot wide open. Indeed. Keima’s {Ultra Transformation} allowed him to transform into something else that existed. But following his transformation, one could say that his body was not his own. Could Rokuko call flirting with the transformation as flirting with Keima? So asked Neruneh.

“...Grr, that’s a tough question. To think there was such a fundamental flaw in this!”

“Wait, why is the body even relevant? What matters is the heart!” Elulu declared, completely unbiased.

“Well, that’s probably true in some ways, but... Ngh, there’s no good answer here!”

In the end, they didn’t have any more ideas past that point, and Rokuko let Neruneh and Elulu go after rewarding them with a huge load of rolls.

Then came the next day.

“Eheheh... Keima’s transformed into meee... Ehehehe, cuuuute!”

“Do you, uh, really find this fun?” Keima asked, transformed into loli Rokuko and sitting on big Rokuko’s lap while she stroked his hair.

“Your body is mine but your heart is Keima... This is totally acceptable lovey-dovey flirting! It’s the very epitome of lovey-dovey flirting!”

“I have no idea what you’re even talking about, but, well... If you’re having fun, I’m fine with it.”

Yeah. And that was that.
