Hi guys, it's been days and days writing this story, but as you know, I write in Spanish haha, but here I have one... an attempt at translation, If you want to see the fully corrected Spanish version, please let me know in the comments, just like if you want to know more. ^^
Megumin walked through the bustling streets of Axel, lost in thought. The warm city breeze caressed her cloak as her boots echoed on the stones of the road. She remembered clearly that awkward conversation she had had with Kazuma at the hot springs.
*I'm not surprised that Yunyun is more confident... her breasts are much larger than yours.
That remark had made Megumin blush with indignation at the time, but now, as she walked, her mind went back to those words.
*"Tch! How dare you say that! I don't need a big bust to be the best blast mage in the world... "* she thought, puffing out her cheeks in frustration. However, the memory wouldn't leave her alone, especially since it was true that Yunyun, her eternal rival, had a more... prominent physical presence.
As she continued her walk, something caught her attention. Across the street, a woman was hurrying out of Wiz's store, her face full of anger. Megumin recognized her immediately: she was an ordinary citizen he was used to seeing in the market. However, something about her had changed... and not in a subtle way.
*"Huh? Wait a minute!"* Megumin stopped walking, noting with surprise how the woman's bust was now incredibly large, to the point of looking out of place on her petite body. Megumin was sure that woman didn't have a bust this large the last time he saw her.
- What... what the hell happened there? - Megumin muttered, narrowing his eyes as he watched the woman walk quickly away, his anger still evident.
Without a second thought, she decided it was best to investigate. He entered Wiz's store with determination, ringing the bell on the door. The inside of the store was as usual: dusty, filled with assorted magical items, and a mysterious aura hung in the air. However, something in the atmosphere felt... different.
Megumin walked towards the counter, his eyes searching for Wiz or his assistant. Meanwhile, his thoughts revolved around what he had just seen. *"That woman... it can't be coincidence. Something happened here, and I need to know what. "* *"I need to know what. "*
As he reached the counter, Wiz appeared from a curtain facing the back of the store, with his usual somewhat shy but friendly smile.
- Oh, Megumin! - Wiz said, somewhat surprised but happy to see the young archmage. - What brings you here?
Megumin, arms folded, got straight to the point.
- I just saw a woman come out of here... and well, I couldn't help noticing that she had a... a completely different bust than I remember. What happened, Wiz? Why was she so angry?
Wiz, visibly nervous, avoided eye contact for a moment and started playing with the sleeves of her dress.
- Ah... well... that... - she stammered. - There was a bit of a misunderstanding... she was looking for a magical artifact to improve her appearance... and... well... it seems the effect was a bit more... exaggerated than expected.
Megumin raised an eyebrow.
- "A little more?" That woman looked like she was about to explode? What kind of magic are you selling here, Wiz?
Before Wiz could answer, a glow in the corner of the counter caught Megumin's attention. A small vial, with a glowing liquid inside, rested on a nearby shelf. Something about it seemed... alluring.
- And what is that? - Megumin asked, approaching it curiously.
Wiz, with a worried expression on his face, began to explain.
- A few days ago, a merchant came to the store with a box full of these potions. He assured me they were to improve the appearance and confidence of those who used them. You know, to help people feel more confident... but - Wiz looked down, visibly uncomfortable - what he didn't mention were the side effects.
Megumin frowned, crossing his arms.
- Side effects? You mean what happened to that woman?
Wiz nodded slowly.
- Yes, exactly. That woman came looking for something to boost her presence a bit, since she said she felt insecure.... - Wiz rubbed the back of her neck, clearly regretful. - I offered her this potion, not knowing what it would do. The problem was... with just one drop, the effect was far more potent than either of us expected. And before I could reverse it, it was too late.
Megumin looked at her, clearly surprised.
- One drop? And that was enough to... to cause such an exaggerated change?
Wiz nodded, clenching his hands nervously.
- Exactly... one drop was all it took. The potion seemed to amplify certain aspects of the body disproportionately, especially in terms of the bust... and confidence, of course. But the result was not as expected, as you have seen.
Megumin was silent for a moment, taking in what Wiz had told him. *"One drop... "* He thought, remembering the image of that woman walking furiously down the street. *"With just one drop... she got a bust much bigger than mine... even bigger than Yunyun's... "*
That thought made her blush involuntarily. Though she had always been proud of her abilities as an archmage, Kazuma's words still echoed in her mind. And now, knowing that such a potion existed... a small spark of curiosity and desire began to grow within her.
- Could you show me one of those potions? - Megumin asked, trying to sound nonchalant, though she couldn't stop a slight blush from appearing on her cheeks.
Wiz, surprised by the request, hesitated for a moment before nodding and taking one of the vials from the shelf.
- I'm not sure if that's a good idea, Megumin. You saw what happened to that woman... and I don't think you really need something like that - Wiz tried to warn, though he couldn't stop himself before handing her the small vial with the glowing liquid.
Megumin took it in his hands, examining the contents closely. The vial was small, but the liquid inside seemed almost... magical. It glowed with an attention-grabbing intensity. Just one drop, that was all it had taken for that woman to completely change her appearance.
Blushing and looking for an excuse, Megumin quickly replied.
- I-It's not for me! I just... wanted to see what she looked like. You know, out of curiosity. That's all! - she added, crossing her arms and averting her gaze.
Wiz looked at her with a mixture of concern and doubt, but finally sighed.
- If you really want to take it, I can sell it to you... but be very careful, okay? Don't underestimate the power of these potions.
Megumin nodded quickly, still blushing but trying to keep her composure. After paying for the vial, she carefully stowed it in her cloak and said goodbye to Wiz, quickly leaving the store.
As she walked back home, Megumin's heart was pounding. He couldn't stop thinking about the small vial in his possession, and the possibilities it offered. *Just one drop... "* she kept repeating in her mind, over and over again, while the blush on her cheeks wouldn't go away.
Arriving home, Megumin closed the door behind her and took out the vial, looking at it carefully.
She sat on her bed, hugging her blasting stick as her thoughts overwhelmed her. On one hand, she knew she didn't need to rely on a potion to improve her appearance. *"I am Megumin, the archmage of the Crimson Demon Clan! The greatest user of blasters!"* But on the other hand, curiosity was slowly consuming her.
She looked at the vial, completely flushed as she imagined the possibilities. What would it be like if she used it? What would Kazuma think when he saw her?
Megumin shook her head, trying to clear those thoughts, but it was getting harder and harder. Curiosity burned inside her, and though she knew it was dangerous, she couldn't help but imagine the consequences.
She bit her lip and pressed the vial to her chest, still undecided but increasingly intrigued.
Megumin was in her room, sitting on the edge of the bed with the potion vial in her hands. Her mind was filled with conflicting thoughts: on the one hand, there was the pride of being a powerful archmage, and on the other, the growing insecurity that Kazuma had planted in her mind. The fact that her companions, Darkness and Aqua, always seemed to draw more attention to themselves with their physical attributes only increased her doubts.
- Should I do it?" she thought, completely blushing. *"I don't need to depend on something like this? right? But... what if I just try a little bit? A single drop won't hurt... "*...
Suddenly, Aqua's voice interrupted her thoughts from below.
- Megumin! Dinner is ready!
Shaken from her thoughts, Megumin quickly put the jar away and changed into her pajamas to go downstairs. Upon entering the dining room, the atmosphere was relaxed. Darkness was pouring a few glasses of wine, while Aqua had already started drinking before everyone else. Kazuma, meanwhile, was in his usual spot, ready to enjoy the meal.
As they ate, however, Megumin couldn't help but notice the figures of Aqua and Darkness. Although she had always considered herself to be focused on her magical abilities, it was hard to ignore the physical difference between them. After a couple of glasses of wine, the talk became more relaxed and Kazuma, as was customary, couldn't help but blurt out a comment that made Megumin blush.
- Hey, Megumin!" said Kazuma with a chuckle, already slightly affected by the alcohol. - No offense, but it looks like Darkness and Aqua are winning by far in the competition of... you know, "physical attributes". you know, "physical attributes" competition.
Megumin tried to laugh, though she was clearly nervous.
- Hahaha! Very funny, Kazuma... - she replied, trying to keep her composure, but the blush on her cheeks gave her away.
Darkness, ever watchful, noticed the change in Megumin's demeanor.
- Are you all right, Megumin?" asked Darkness, leaning slightly towards her with a hint of concern in his voice. - You seem a bit distracted tonight.
Megumin, completely cornered by the situation, began to sweat as she tried to find an excuse.
- I-I'm fine! I'm just... I'm just a little tired... Yes, that's it! - she replied nervously, quickly getting up from the table. - I think I'm going to... go to bed early.
Without waiting for an answer, Megumin hurried out of the dining room and up to his room. He closed the door behind him, taking a deep breath as he tried to calm himself. *"Why do they have to say such things, they only make me feel worse!"*
She plopped down on her bed, but her eyes inevitably fell on the small vial she had left on the bedside table. The glow of the liquid inside seemed to call to her, tempting her in a way she couldn't ignore. She bit her lip, fully flushed and nervous. Thoughts of what had happened at dinner were still swirling around in her head, and the doubt was beginning to fade.
*"Just a drop... "* she thought, remembering Wiz's words. *"One drop was all it took to make that woman..... Why not try? Just... a little. "*
Finally, with trembling hands, he took a small ladle from his shelf and carefully uncapped the bottle. The liquid glowed with an almost magical intensity. With great precision, he tried to take the smallest amount possible, barely a drop that seemed almost not enough to cause any change.
- *It's okay, just a drop... nothing will happen.* - she said to herself, trying to convince herself as she sat back down on the bed, holding the spoon with the small drop.
She stared at the potion for a moment, her mind flooded with thoughts of how her life might change after this. Her cheeks were still flushed, and her heart was pounding. Finally, after a long pause, she took a deep breath and lifted the spoon to her lips.
- *Here we go...* - she murmured, before swallowing the drop of potion.
The taste of the liquid was surprisingly smooth, almost sweet. Megumin waited for some sort of immediate reaction, but nothing happened at first. He plopped down on his bed again, staring at the ceiling with bated breath. Her mind was still a whirlwind of thoughts, but fatigue finally began to overpower her.
- *Maybe I won't do anything...* - she murmured with a mixture of relief and disappointment.
Gradually, her eyelids began to grow heavier and heavier, and finally, Megumin drifted off to sleep. As she drifted off to sleep, her mind kept turning over the possibilities, completely unaware of what might happen while she rested.
The next day, Megumin awoke slowly, still with the feeling of heavy sleep in her body. He opened his eyes and yawned, stretching lazily before beginning his morning routine. He went to the small mirror in his room and, as he brushed his teeth, thought about what had happened the night before. *Maybe nothing really happened, "* she said to herself, somewhat resigned.
After cleaning her bed, still drowsy, she decided to get dressed to start the day. However, as she tried to put on her usual outfit, she felt something different. The tight-fitting mage outfit, which had always fit perfectly, seemed to exert a slight pressure on her chest.
- *What is this...?* she muttered, looking down in disbelief.
Her eyes filled with astonishment as she realized what she was seeing. Her bust had grown, not drastically, but enough for her to clearly notice. It had gone from its usual flat appearance to having a small, but noticeable, increase in volume. Megumin froze for a second, his heart beating fast as he processed what was happening.
- It worked!" he exclaimed softly, his cheeks flushing with happiness.
Unable to contain her excitement, she began to gently touch his chest. *"It's not much, but... it's something!"* she thought happily as she lightly squeezed the fabric of the suit. His expression was one of pure happiness, something he hadn't experienced in this way for a long time. Megumin looked quickly towards the bedside table where he had left the vial the night before. She took it in both hands and kissed it, grateful for what she had accomplished with a single drop.
- Thank you, Wiz!" she said with a beaming smile as she hurried to put the bottle away.
Determined to test if her change was evident enough to the others, Megumin quickly left her room and went down to the kitchen where the rest of the group was already eating breakfast. As she walked through the halls, her chest bounced slightly, causing her to blush even more. *"I'm sure they'll notice, "* she thought, completely excited to see the reaction of her classmates.
Arriving in the kitchen, she tried to act casual, but the anxiety was evident on her face. She sat down next to the others and, after a couple of minutes, could no longer contain herself.
- Hey!" he said with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. - Do you notice anything... different about me today?
Kazuma, who was concentrating on his breakfast, looked up with an arched eyebrow. Darkness barely paid any attention to him as he cut into his food, and Aqua, as usual, was more interested in her drink.
- *Different?* Kazuma asked, looking at her curiously before returning to his food. - No, I don't think so... Why?
Megumin tried not to be discouraged, hoping that maybe they hadn't noticed the small changes because of her distraction.
- Well... I..." she started to say, but was interrupted by Aqua, who was looking at her strangely.
- *Wait... there's something about you, Megumin...* - said Aqua, leaning a little to take a closer look at her. - I don't know what it is, but... something has changed.
Megumin's heart filled with hope, but his excitement quickly deflated when Aqua couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was that was different. Darkness, for his part, didn't seem to have noticed anything at all, which left Megumin disappointed. Kazuma simply shrugged his shoulders and continued eating, completely disinterested.
- *Well, anyway... if you say so,* said Kazuma without giving it any more importance, which increased Megumin's frustration.
After breakfast, Megumin came out of the kitchen, a bit discouraged. *How come they didn't notice?" she thought as she walked through the house. Although the change in her bust was small, to her it was significant. However, the reaction of the others left her unsatisfied. *Perhaps it was too little!
Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind: *"What if I ask Yunyun? "* Thinking about the possibility of seeing the reaction of her rival and friend awakened a new spark of excitement in her. If anyone would notice the change, it would be Yunyun. Megumin smiled slightly as she squeezed the vial inside her bag. *"Yes, she'll definitely notice!"*
Without further delay, she prepared to go out and look for Yunyun, hoping to get a more obvious and satisfactory reaction than her companions. She was eager and determined to see if her small but important change would not go unnoticed this time.
Megumin went out determined to find Yunyun. Just imagining her rival's expression upon noticing the small but important change in her bust filled her with excitement and nervousness. Finally, she found her near the entrance of the village, where Yunyun greeted her with her usual enthusiasm.
- Megumin!" exclaimed Yunyun, waving her hand as she ran towards her. - I'm glad to see you! What brings you here?
Megumin, still flushed and somewhat nervous about her plan, stammered as she tried to get Yunyun to notice the change herself.
- *Ah... well... nothing special. I was just... strolling...* - Megumin clasped her hands behind her back, leaning her chest forward slightly. - *You... don't you notice something different about me?
Yunyun frowned, tilting his head as he examined Megumin from head to toe.
- Different?" she asked, curious. - No, you look the same as always. Although... Is there something I should notice?
Megumin shuddered, feeling a mixture of frustration and shyness. *"How could I possibly not notice? "* she thought, but quickly tried to hide her discomfort, blushing even more as she stammered out a reply.
- *No... nothing... anyway, do you want to do something?* Megumin replied awkwardly, changing the subject before Yunyun could inquire further.
Yunyun, who hadn't taken Megumin's hints, smiled broadly and immediately challenged her as he always did.
- Megumin, I challenge you to a duel! This time I'll beat you, I promise,* she said with determination, stepping forward.
Megumin, though still somewhat distracted with her thoughts about her bust, accepted the challenge without much thought. However, as the duel began, she kept dropping little hints.
- *Well... I hope you're not too... unfocused by something different about me...* - Megumin muttered as he cast his first magic with little conviction.
Yunyun, completely focused on the duel, simply ignored Megumin's comments, not noticing anything out of the ordinary. The duel continued with intensity, but Megumin's mind was more concerned with his appearance than winning. After several minutes, Megumin decided to give up.
- Bah, never mind," he said suddenly, stopping his attack. - *This doesn't make sense.*
Yunyun looked at her in surprise.
- Huh? What's wrong, Megumin? she asked, worried.
- Nothing, forget it," Megumin replied, visibly frustrated. - I have more important things to do.
Without another word, Megumin left Yunyun alone, feeling increasingly irritated. *How is it possible that even she hadn't noticed?
It's more remarkable than before, I'm sure!"* she thought as she walked quickly back home.
Upon arriving, Megumin locked herself in her room and plopped down on her bed with a sigh. Still with frustration boiling over, she lightly unbuttoned her outfit, exposing her small but noticeable bust enhancement. *"Is it really that little? "* she thought, beginning to play with her new bust, noticing the small but firm difference from before.
Her gaze quickly moved to the potion bottle resting on her bedside table. She picked it up carefully and stared at it, as her mind began to imagine the possibilities. He knew that the change with a single drop had been small, but if he continued to consume the same dose consistently, perhaps he could get the desired effect.
- Maybe... if I do it little by little, every night... I won't arouse suspicion," she murmured to herself, blushing as she continued to fondle her breasts with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.
Her heart was beating rapidly as she fantasized about the possibilities of an even greater change, but without attracting too much attention from others. The idea was tempting her more and more, and a mischievous smile crept across her face. *"Yes... it will be perfect. "*
With that decision in mind, Megumin placed the vial back in its place, eagerly awaiting the night to take another small dose. His plan was in motion, and he couldn't wait to see the long-term results, imagining what everyone's reaction would be like once the change was truly noticeable.
The evening passed quietly after dinner. Megumin, potion vial in hand, watched the glowing liquid inside with a mischievous grin on his face. *"Just one more drop... this time it will be different, "* she thought, full of excitement and anticipation. Repeating the same ritual, she took a small amount of the potion with her ladle, barely a drop, and swallowed it before going to bed.
- Tomorrow will be different!* - she murmured to herself as she settled into her bed, hugging her pillow and closing her eyes with a smile full of anticipation.
***
Morning came with the first rays of sunlight gently illuminating Megumin's room. She got up quickly, feeling something different in her body, a strange pressure in her chest. Filled with excitement, she ran to the mirror, barely able to contain herself.
When she saw her reflection, her heart skipped a beat. This time, the change was evident: her bust had grown noticeably during the night. The rounded forms were impossible to ignore, fuller and more voluminous than the day before. Her hands instinctively reached up to touch them, marveling at the new size.
- I did it!" she exclaimed under her breath as she jumped with happiness in front of the mirror, watching her breasts jiggle with each movement. The feeling of satisfaction and triumph enveloped her completely. *This time everyone will notice, it can't be any other way!
At that moment, a knock at the door interrupted her.
- Megumin, what's wrong? I heard you jumping all over the room,* Aqua's voice sounded from the other side of the door, full of curiosity.
Megumin stopped immediately, his heart racing. He took a deep breath to calm himself before answering.
- Nothing, nothing, Aqua. Everything's fine, I was just... getting ready. I'll be down in a moment," she tried to sound relaxed, though her voice betrayed her pent-up excitement.
Aqua, apparently satisfied with the answer, left and Megumin looked at herself in the mirror again. This time, she was sure. The change was undeniable, visible to the naked eye. Anyone would notice it. She dressed quickly, a confident smile painted on her face, excited to see the reactions of the others.
***
When Megumin went down to the dining hall, she looked forward to the surprised looks on the faces of her classmates. She entered with her head held high, walking confidently towards the table where Aqua, Kazuma and Darkness were already seated. He settled into his chair, waiting patiently for someone to mention the change.
But, surprisingly, everything continued as if nothing had happened. Kazuma made his usual comments, Aqua joked about dinner, and Darkness was immersed in a conversation with Kazuma. *"How can they not see it? "* Megumin thought as his frustration grew.
Finally, Aqua frowned and watched her closely.
- Megumin, is there something different about you?" she asked curiously, tilting her head as she analyzed her.
Megumin was filled with hope for a brief moment, but that spark of joy faded when Aqua added:
- *Did you change your hairstyle or something?
Megumin felt a wave of frustration sweep through his body. *Without another word, he got up abruptly from the table.
- I'm going out," he said in a curt voice, leaving the house without waiting for an answer.
***
He walked quickly through the streets of the town, his mind full of contradictory thoughts. *Is it really worth all this? "* she wondered as she clenched her fists. Part of her wanted to give up, to let go of the expectation of being noticed. But another part, more stubborn and competitive, was pushing her to keep going.
Finally, she arrived at the adventurers' guild, looking for a place to sit and clear her mind. She ordered a light lunch and plopped down at one of the tables, drinking an apple juice as she tried to calm herself.
As he scanned the place, his eyes fell on a familiar figure: the same woman he had seen storming out of Wiz's store days before. But now, her attitude was completely different. She was sitting at a nearby table, posing proudly as the adventurers around her watched in fascination.
The woman's bust had grown even larger, to the point where it was impossible to ignore her. The attention she was receiving from everyone around her caused Megumin to press his lips together in frustration. *"How could she possibly pull this off so easily? "* he thought as he watched the woman enjoy the attention.
Megumin stared at her, trying to understand what it was that made this woman different. Meanwhile, she continued to drink her apple juice, immersed in her thoughts and analyzing her own situation.
Morning had come much earlier than Megumin had expected. She had spent the entire night in the kitchen, absorbed in her own calculations, thinking about the best way to execute her plan. *If they all grow at the same time, it will be easy to disguise... "* she repeated to herself mentally, not realizing how much time had passed.
As he pondered the correct dosage, he heard a rustling sound coming from the hallway. Someone was approaching. Her heart raced, panic seized her and, without thinking, she threw almost half of the potion into the pot of stew Aqua had prepared the night before.
- Oh no! Too much!" she whispered to herself as she stared in horror at the liquid now bubbling gently in the stew.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Megumin, unable to think clearly, rushed out of the kitchen and quickly retreated into her room, slamming the door shut. He crawled under the covers, his heart pounding, his mind filled with confusion and regret. *"What did I do, I used too big a dose? What if something bad happens? "*
Panic filled his chest as he tried to calm himself, but every time he tried, the image of the bubbling stew came back to his mind. What if his companions ate it? What if the change was so drastic that it couldn't be disguised?
Outside, the footsteps ceased. Megumin could hear the sound of someone opening the kitchen door. It was likely that one of his companions had gotten up early, perhaps Aqua, always the first to go for food. There was no turning back now. Megumin lay motionless under the sheets, trying to control his breathing as his mind kept imagining all sorts of consequences.
- *"Maybe it won't be so bad... maybe it won't be noticed right away... "* - she tried to convince herself, but she knew she had gone too far. Meanwhile, sounds coming from the kitchen indicated that someone was beginning to serve breakfast. The tension in the air was palpable to Megumin.
He knew he would have to come down soon, or he would arouse suspicion if he stayed in his room for too long. However, the fear of facing what she had done paralyzed her. She didn't want to imagine how Aqua, Darkness, or Kazuma might react once they ingested the stew.
*"I just hope nothing too drastic happens... or that they don't notice right away... "* she thought as she continued to curl up on her bed, anxiously awaiting what the day would bring.
Megumin could barely contain her nervousness, her mind racing a mile a minute as she watched Darkness pass out the plates of stew. Everyone was distracted, except Aqua, who noticed Megumin's strange behavior and eyed her suspiciously.
- Are you all right, Megumin? - Aqua asked in her nonchalant but curious tone. The tension in the air increased with each passing second.
Megumin, on the verge of panic, tried to force a smile, though her nervousness was evident. He knew he had to get out of there before the situation worsened, so he quickly improvised an excuse.
- I-it's okay! I just... I think my stomach hurts a little.... Yeah, that's right! I think I'd better go for a walk for a while, the fresh air will do me good - he said as he hurriedly got up from the table, almost tripping over the chair in his rush to escape.
Kazuma, who until that moment had been concentrating on his own plate, looked up curiously. - Since when do you have a problem with Aqua's stew? - he asked with a slight smirk.
- It's not that! - Megumin replied, almost shouting, which made everyone stare at her. Feeling the pressure of the stares, Megumin felt his plan was falling apart.
- Just... I need some air. Enjoy your meal! - he said quickly, turning around and heading for the door without looking back.
As he crossed the threshold, he could hear Darkness, Aqua and Kazuma begin to taste the stew. The sound of spoons hitting plates echoed in her head, and guilt washed over her. She knew that, in a matter of time, the effects of the potion would begin to manifest.
Megumin quickly left the house and, once outside, took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. *"It's okay, it's okay.... It wasn't that much... Maybe they won't even notice it right away... "* he thought as he walked aimlessly down the street, but he knew he was fooling himself. If what he had seen with the other woman was any indication, the changes would be too obvious.
As she walked, she began to imagine how her peers might react. What if they all grew up overnight? How would she justify the situation? The thought of being noticed right away and questioned was spinning in her head.
*Maybe I shouldn't have done this... Maybe I can find a solution before everything gets out of control, "* she thought as she picked up her pace, but a part of her, that more curious and daring part, kept nurturing the anticipation of what was to come. What if everything went well? What if the change affected them all in a similar way and no one suspected her?
With these doubts and conflicting thoughts, Megumin walked through the streets of the village, unsure if she should return or simply hide until everything had passed. Destiny, however, was already in motion.
Megumin walked hurriedly through the streets, his mind wrapped in utter chaos. The words of **Wiz** echoed loudly in her head: *"A single drop... "*. Remembering how that small amount had caused such a significant change in her, and how the woman had undergone an even greater transformation with just one drop, panic began to take hold of her.
**"Two microdroplets were enough for me... "**, she thought as she looked down at her bust, noting the small but noticeable change she had achieved in such a short time. **"Darkness and Aqua have ingested a dose.... almost three thousand times greater! This is going to be a disaster!"** **
Just imagining what was about to happen made her feel a knot in her stomach. Images of Darkness and Aqua transformed in an exaggerated way flooded her mind. She bit her lip, trying to decide what to do. **"Maybe I should go see Wiz? "**, she thought, though she quickly dismissed the idea. **"How could I explain this to him? What excuse would I give him? "** Megumin knew he couldn't confront Wiz without arousing suspicion.
Finally, in the midst of his anxiety, he decided it would be best to return home and tell his companions the truth. **It's better they know now, before things get out of hand. Maybe they haven't even noticed anything yet? maybe it won't even affect them that much... "**, she tried to convince herself as she hurried her pace.
Arriving home, the relief he had been hoping to find quickly vanished when he saw **Kazuma** waiting at the entrance.
- Kazuma, what's going on? - Megumin asked, trying to sound casual, but the nervousness in his voice was evident.
Kazuma, with his hands in his pockets and a nonchalant expression, shrugged his shoulders.
- I don't know what happened to **Aqua** and **Darkness**. For some reason, they both ate all the stew and then went to sleep. I thought it was weird, but at this point, I'm not surprised by anything they do.
Kazuma's words fell like a bucket of cold water on Megumin. **"They ate all the stew... "**. His face filled with horror as he processed what that meant. **Aqua** and **Darkness** had ingested the entire amount of potion he'd thrown into the pot, a massive dose. Any hope I had that things wouldn't get out of control disappeared in that instant.
- I... I... - she tried to say something, but the words wouldn't come out of her mouth. Fear paralyzed her. Kazuma looked at her curiously, noticing her sudden discomfort.
- Is something wrong with you? - he asked, arching an eyebrow.
Megumin, still in shock, shook her head quickly.
- N-no, nothing! - he said hastily, trying to calm himself. - Nothing at all! I was just... I was just worried about.... Aqua, you know how it is.
Kazuma, not giving it much thought, shrugged his shoulders again.
- Well, I'm going for a walk. They're sleeping, so I guess they'll be fine when they wake up. - With that said, Kazuma calmly walked away, leaving Megumin alone with his panic.
Megumin froze for a few seconds, unable to fully process what he had just heard. With his heart racing, he quickly entered the house and made his way to the kitchen. There, the **olla** was completely empty, without a drop of stew remaining. Megumin staggered slightly, his legs shaking as he tried to stand. He dropped into a nearby chair, his mind blank as he tried to take in what was about to happen.
**"They ate... everything... "**, she thought in horror, knowing full well that such a massive dose would have catastrophic effects. *"This is going to be worse than I imagined! Much worse!"* The sound of her own thoughts seemed to deafen her. She put her hands to her head, trying to think of some solution, but the panic only grew more and more.
She knew that, at any moment, Aqua and Darkness could wake up... and when they did, the effects of the potion would be impossible to hide.
Megumin was breathing heavily as he tried to calm the whirlwind of thoughts that crossed his mind. She knew she couldn't just freeze, but panic was completely overtaking her. She decided she had to know exactly what was going on, so, with slow, shaky steps, she made her way to **Darkness**'s room.
As he approached, he heard soft moans coming from inside. *"What's going on? "* she thought, each step she took making her heart beat faster. Trembling, she leaned toward the door lock to peek in, and what she saw left her utterly horrified.
**Darkness**'s body had undergone a grotesque and impossible transformation. Her bust had grown exaggeratedly, to the point of tearing her clothes completely. The size of her breasts was so disproportionate that they covered almost the entire bed. But the most terrifying thing of all was that from her nipples flowed cascades of milk, flooding the room. The liquid formed puddles on the floor and soaked the sheets and mattress.
Megumin froze, horror engulfing her as her mind tried to process the scene. **Darkness**, however, was still sound asleep, as if the overgrowth was nothing more than a dream. She even seemed to enjoy the sensation in her subconscious, a faint smile on her face as she moaned softly.
Megumin broke away from the door, staggering. His breathing was rapid and uncontrolled. He dropped against the wall, slowly sinking down to sit on the floor, his face reflecting pure shock and panic. *"This can't be happening.... It's impossible!"* Barely a few minutes had passed, and already the effect of the potion had caused that terrifying change in **Darkness**. *"If this is just getting started, what will happen next? "*
Fear prompted her to get up immediately. **Aqua** had also eaten the stew, and if **Darkness** was in that state... she didn't even want to imagine what Aqua would be like. He ran down the hallway to Aqua's room, his heart about to pound out of his chest. He leaned into the lock again, shaking from head to toe.
What he saw through the keyhole wasn't much better. **Aqua** had also succumbed to the same fate. Her bust was even larger than **Darkness**'s**, towering disproportionately over her body. The room was filled with a wet sheen due to the milk that also emanated from her nipples, drenching everything around her. The inordinate growth made her look even more absurd than **Darkness**, and **Aqua**, in her usual state of deep sleep, seemed completely unaware of what was happening.
Megumin felt completely overwhelmed. She fell to her knees in the hallway, her mind blank, staring at the ceiling as if searching for some answer. *"This is just the beginning.... what have I done? "* she thought, completely paralyzed with guilt and terror.
She lay there, surrendered, her thoughts spinning uncontrollably. She knew there was no turning back, but the fear of what would come next consumed her.
