Hearing the word thief, what springs to mind for most people is the mental image of a girl. Females, who can grow gigantic with their magic, are more suited to being thieves than males. Because the thing that thieves need most is strength to rob people.

Down in the forests near the Sweets Country Womanhill, there was a band of female thieves. They were originally from Kurushibu Kingdom that was destroyed, and without a kingdom, Ex-Princess Megashiitake has taken the mantle of being a splendid boss of female thieves. Without feeling heartbroken over her loss, she brought along her comrades... the former female knights of her country, who were checking today's bounty.

"... Fumu, fumu, no marks today, either. How many months does that make this, hm?"

Princess Megashiitake, former princess of Kurushibu Kingdom and boss of a band of thieves, was disappointed in the paltry earnings from her underlings. She's 12 years old, but unlike Princess Pain or Princess Kupah, she has a body suitable for her age. She has silky pink hair tied into two braids and B-cup boobs on a body that's around 140cm tall. Despite being a thief, a noble aura emanates from her body, and like her name suggests, she has eyes that look like Shiitake mushroom caps with a cross carved into them. She was frowning at her underling's report.

"Yeah, Boss. For some reason, carriages haven't been coming 'round these parts, and we're running out of money."

Her subordinates also speak with desperate faces like they can't make heads or tails of their situation. It seems the 10 female knights, who were around the same age as Princess Megashiitake, have no knowledge in scouting. Well, rather than calling them a group of 12 year-old female thieves, it would be better to call them a pack of kids. Though, what they're doing is quite dangerous.

"Well, about what we should do. Shall we take the plunge and head directly to Womanhill Kingdom? Boss?"

"Yeah, you're right~, that might be our only option. If possible, I wanted to avoid making any confrontations on a national level, but I doubt we can remain thieves if we don't make more money."

They're female thieves. With their magical talent, they could've taken the path of hunters, living off the forest. However, the path they chose was to steal things from others as female thieves.

"Alright, let's get a move on! Commence assault plan on Womanhill Kingdom!"

" " "O————h!" " "


"I'll have you know that won't work."

And right before the female thieves could commence their attack on Womanhill Kingdom, a beautiful girl appears. No, it would probably be more apt to call her a goddess? She has long elf ears and a face that is more beautiful than it is cute. Scantily-clad in garments made from ivy that exposes a great deal of her chest, she thrusts out her large P-cup breasts towards them.

"I'm Ti. A slave that humbly serves the Prince-sama of Womanhill Kingdom. Having listened to your criminal declaration of committing theft against my kingdom, there's no way I won't stop you."

————1000x. Massive enough that 1cm is now 1km, she exercises her authority over the female thieves that were the size of gnats.

"Now, I would normally just capture you and leave it at that. However, since you intended to lay your hands on my master, while it's regrettable, I'll have to put you through a painful experience."

Ti says with her hand gently stretched out towards them as Princess Megashiitake smiles fearlessly.

"1000 times? Trying to stop this band of female thieves at that puny size? What a joke!"

Saying that, the female thieves led by Princess Megashiitake grow gigantic with their magic. Yes, up to '10,000x'.

"Sure, my country was destroyed, but that's 'cause the country failed in its duties. However, our magical strength won't lose to other countries, rather it trumps them!"

For normal people, 100x is the limit, and even for royal families, 1000x is normal, but their growth is 10,000x. That is precisely the reason why they were succeeding as thieves.

Masters of magic, they can grow to be 10,000x taller, and Ti, who was a 1/10th of their size at 1000x, looked small.

"Fufuh, that's right~. Anyways, fork over all the money on you... and, huh?"

Before Princess Megashiitake and her underlings noticed, they lost sight of Ti. Although she was small, their vision wasn't bad enough to lose sight of a 1000x sized person. While they were wondering where she vanished, they feel a murderous aura behind them.



"Fufuh, at this size, rather than calling you gnats, you're more like grains of rice...?"

She was huge. She was unbelievably huge. A single one of the lashes of her eye was blocking their view... They couldn't even fathom the being that solitary hair belonged to. Just that single lash was hundreds—no, billions of times larger than Kurushibu Kingdom. To be honest, she was colossal enough that their existence, even after growing to 10,000x, couldn't be thought of as anything more than puny—nothing more than specks of dust.

There was no way to fathom her scale, but if one were to describe it in just plain words, there may be a mistake in the very concept of comparing themselves to her. Planets and humans, it would be foolish to compare the sizes of those two things. Everyone knows that planets are unbelievably big, so there's no point in comparing tiny humans to it.

"You may be thinking you grew to 10,000x, but actually you were shrunk to one ten-thousand-trillionth by my magic."

"Ten, thousand-trillion...?"

How big is that? It's a scale the hardened thieves have never heard before.

"You might be thinking that you're in some valley near Womanhill Kingdom, but... where you are is on the manhood of the prince of Womanhill Kingdom... in his crease, you understand?"

"In, in his crease!?"

They wanted to say that was ridiculous, but they understood from the beginning there's no reason for Ti to be lying. It's because she never lies that what she's saying is the truth.

"They say time for people is different according to their size. It's not unreasonable to expect the passage of time to be different for ants and humans. By the way, you haven't spent more than a minute since you were shrunk, understand? No doubt at your size, it must've felt like you've been there for months."

'Not earning money for months'. Princess Megashiitake and the others were talking about that, but has it really been months? So it's true that a minute hasn't even passed since they were shrunk?

"According to my research, it doesn't take that much time to brainwash people... No, drive them crazy. Shrink them to the point where they can't tell how many minutes it's been and placing them on a place with plenty of pheromones of the person they'll eventually desire to serve. It's easier to drive you crazy if I were to place you in a situation where you think that way...

She says as she begins to vanish. No, she's growing bigger. Princess Megashiitake's surroundings are beginning to fill with a smelly-smelly and pungent male odour.

"Well then, everyone. ————I'll be seeing you later."

Days later, 11 new soldiers were assigned to Womanhill Kingdom. As for the female thieves that were plaguing the area around Womanhill Kingdom, they matured for about 10 years and became adults that won't betray the Prince of Womanhill Kingdom.

Everything was according to Ti's calculations. According to the scenario she wrote on the palm of her hand.
