Looking at the options that appeared, I felt like my nose was about to start bleeding~
There were some fairly normal-sounding settings, like Night Battle Endurance — 1 point, Same-Sex Allure — 3 points... But there were also things like Tentacle Monster Affinity — 5 points and Continuous Pleasure — 6 points!
Still, she’s my wife, so I’m not going to pick anything too weird.
After thinking it over and over, I finally chose these four options.
Forever Young
5 points
Adrenaline
1 point
Regeneration
12 points.
Mild Pain Conversion
2 points
…
…
Forever Young is simple. I want my wife to stay young forever, always as cute as a girl.
Adrenaline is for a little extra burst of combat ability. After all, it’d be embarrassing if she were just a pretty ornament to look at and couldn’t do anything.
And Regeneration?
I picked that after thinking it through carefully. It’s a powerful ability that can heal even the most serious wounds... It costs 12 points, but I don’t want my wife to die, so it’s an obvious must-have.
Mild Pain Conversion is meant to go with Regeneration. Maybe Regeneration was originally intended to let some hardcore masters play twisted games, but I just want my partner to be healthy and happy, so I didn’t choose Heavy Pleasure Conversion.
…
And with that, all my choices were complete.
Getting to tailor all sorts of little details for my wife, just the way I’d always imagined, was incredibly satisfying.
And last of all, the most important detail—
Choosing a name~
There are plenty of names I could choose, but that one really is the best, isn’t it?
Lonis!
…
As I wrote down that name, I felt completely satisfied—because it was the name of that princess from my previous life.
It’s a shame I never got to marry her, but traveling together like this could be a fresh start for us, right~?
So I clicked the confirm button without hesitation.
Just then, that mechanical voice sounded again.
『Please confirm: the silver-haired girl, Lonis?』
“That’s right.”
『Data confirmed. The silver-haired girl, Lonis, has been registered.』
“All right!!”
I didn’t know how to express the excitement I felt. It was like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert finding a spring—or a great mage who’d been single for thirty years discovering that his waifu from the world of anime had come to life~!
My heart was full of curiosity about the adventures ahead~
And longing for the chance to travel with Lonis~
And dreams of making a name for myself~
A wonderful future was waving me over. It felt like the whole world lay beneath my feet!
Until…
That mechanical voice sounded again.
『Savior No. 114415, the body you requested has now been created. You may now live the rest of your life as the silver-haired girl, Lonis.』
…

“What the hell is going on here?!!!!!!”
Lonis pounded the floor, her heart burning with rage and nowhere to vent it.
She looked at her pale hands, her slender legs, the rounded swell of her chest, and the cute pure-white dress covering her body... Lonis even felt like dying.
I·want·my·wife·to·look·like·this! That doesn’t mean I want to look like this myself!!
How am I supposed to save the world dressed like this?!!!!!!
My chest is so heavy! The moment I move, it bounces, and this weird sensation comes with it!
The skirt is so short! Lift my leg even a little, and I risk flashing everyone!!!
…
Long gloves and thigh-high stockings covered her hands and legs. Maybe it looked pleasing to the eye to other people, but wearing them herself felt completely different.
Her skin’s sensitivity had been turned all the way up, so every little movement sent an electric, tingling sensation across her skin.
The high heels made it hard to keep her balance, so all Lonis could do was sit on the floor with her legs tucked to one side, fuming miserably.
…
Though even the silver-haired girl herself couldn’t say who she was angry at...
After all, she had only herself to blame for this body being the way it was. If her tastes weren’t so weird, if she hadn’t poured all her desires into a girl’s body, maybe things wouldn’t have turned out so humiliating.
But the reality was this: after putting on these clothes and choosing these settings, Lonis couldn’t even walk. She had to stay perfectly still to feel even a little better.
Otherwise, the endless tingling would overwhelm her body and make her blush.
Just then…
The mechanical voice sounded again:
『Congratulations, Savior No. 114515. You are now a cute silver-haired girl named Lonis. From now on, you’ll spend the rest of your life as a beautiful girl.』
“The rest of my life, my foot! Isn’t this supposed to be my wife’s body? Why did it become my body?”
As if she’d finally found somewhere to direct her anger, the silver-haired girl shouted furiously.
But her voice was soft and sweet, almost ditzy. She sounded just like a little girl whining to her parents.
…
『Savior No. 114515, the instructions never said you could freely design your partner. All partners are created according to your choices and parameters.』
“Huh?”
Lonis froze. Only then did she realize that the system really hadn’t said anything like that.
She’d jumped to that conclusion herself. Since she’d been told she’d have a partner, she’d automatically assumed this was a system for designing a wife.
But if that was the case, then the reason she’d become a girl was…
…
『Because I’m an idiot?』
『Because I’m a pervert?』
…
No. I absolutely refuse to admit that!!!!
Unable to bear it, Lonis shook her head wildly. Even the feel of her silver hair brushing her back seemed so strange.
“I don’t care, I don’t care! You misled me! I want to redesign the character. I can turn into a boy, right?”
『Lonis, once your body and name have been chosen, they can’t be changed.』
“What?!”
『You will begin with nothing as a slave maid and exiled princess, and save the world.』
“No! I’m a boy! I’m supposed to be the Hero who saves the world!!”
Lonis shook her head wildly. She absolutely refused to accept this reality.
But the mechanical voice seemed to ignore her protests and continued coldly: 『This cannot be changed. You confirmed the traits “sweet girl,” “masochist,” and “slave maid,” among others. Therefore, your partner will have the traits “scheming,” “sadist,” and “master,” among others.』
“What does that mean?!”
『Your partner will become your master. As a slave maid, you must obey her orders without question. If you disobey, you will face a terrible punishment...』
“No! I absolutely can’t accept this!”
Are you kidding me?
Being reborn as a girl was miserable enough. But being trained as a slave—what kind of fate was that?
Wasn’t that the exact opposite of the future she’d hoped for?
So even though her whole body felt weak, even though the white stockings clung to her skin and made it tingle...
Lonis still forced herself to her feet and shouted, “I will never submit to fate! To hell with this so-called partner—I don’t want one at all!”
『Lonis, your actions violate the Reincarnator Code. You will be...』
“To hell with the code! I’m the Hero, not some slave maid!”
Lonis shouted and strode forward with all her strength.
