As I slowly regained consciousness, I started to feel a little bit strange. When I became fully conscious, I saw a perverted, drunk, and unattractive man touching my chest. Since my hands and feet were tightly bound with cloth, I struggled to defend myself. On the other side of the nipa hut, which appeared to be a secret hideout for an unknown tribe of Malayan or Borneo origin, I saw Mayumi in a similar situation to mine.
A few moments later, people outside started to become noisy. I concluded that most people in this hideout were men. A man's voice came from outside near the nipa hut, "Hey! Lady! You cannot enter this area! Ahh! Ouch!" Then a blue-haired woman with a red bandana on her head entered our nipa hut, effortlessly bypassing whoever was trying to prevent her from entering. She had very light complexion skin and golden irises in her eyes. All in all, she was beautiful and very attractive. I had a crush on her, and she seemed very familiar. I did not know why.
"Hey, woman? What is your business here?" asked the perverted drunk man.
"Let me buy that woman," the blue-haired woman replied.
"Why do you want to buy her?" the ugly man replied.
"I will marry her," the blue-haired woman replied.
"Haha! How would you marry a woman if you are a woman?" the ugly man replied, bullying the blue-haired woman.
"I am a man," the blue-haired woman said.
"Really? You must wear this Tugbuk first if you want to prove that you are a man!" said the ugly man to the blue-haired woman, handing her a Tugbuk.
Tugbuk was a pin that was inserted into a man's manhood during childhood in the pre-colonial period of the Philippines. It was a small bar made of brass, gold, ivory, or lead, or a little tube of tin that was driven across the head of a man's manhood to protrude on both sides, far enough to have decorations ranging from simple rivets to rosettes like the rowel of a horseman's spur.
After the blue-haired woman received the Tugbuk, she pulled out her manhood and inserted the Tugbuk into it. Then her blood from her manhood started dripping. Yes! It was confirmed! She was a man! And it must have hurt terribly. Not because of the Tugbuk alone, but because she was a woman in a man's body. It really broke my heart! But she was a pretty femboy, in all fairness! Wait, he looked like the one I had seen earlier!
After the ugly man and I saw what the pretty femboy did, the atmosphere inside the nipa hut fell silent for about ten seconds. Who would not be shocked by what had happened?
"Here is my payment, a handful of silver and gold," said the pretty blue-haired femboy to the ugly man.
After that, I was untied, but they did not let Mayumi go.
"How about my friend?" I asked the pretty blue-haired femboy.
"Do not worry. I have a plan," he replied as we walked away from the nipa hut.
"By the way, what is your name?" I asked.
"You can call me Elai," he replied.
"That is a very nice name. Ahm... You can call me Patricia," I said to Elai.
We had only walked a few meters away from the hideout of those goons when they suddenly started to run at us with their bolos. But coincidentally, a portal with glowing and sparkling purple lights suddenly appeared behind them.
"Stay back, Patricia!" Elai shouted as he glowed with bluish light while removing his red bandana and pulling out his Tugbuk at the same time.
There was no doubt that Elai was the Diwata that Muda had been talking about!
