"That's because you attacked us!" Luminous roared back.

"Yes, that was a bit of stepping too ahead of yourself, Kireina." Sighed Floresse. "Though, you've already won and things are good, I am actually dazzled by your beautiful new form. I've never seen such a big, three-meter-big butterfly in my life."

What's with her weird, obsessed look?!

Floresse began to caress my body as if I were an adorable animal, but isn't a giant butterfly kind of creepy though? Well, whatever. I remember Zehe also treating me as if I was cute back then in Genesis.

"Sorry, I had to do it to make it more convincing to the idiot. I knew Luminous would block my attacks, I also didn't aimed at anybody, the wall broke but that can be repaired by some earth magician anyways!" I said while shrugging.

"That's true but… Ugh, whatever." Elfina sighed. "I-I guess you did good, the Emperor is now dead, and the rest of the humans ran away, but he killed a lot though, I doubt the Human Empire will be of any problem for now, around seven thousand men died… With that, they shouldn't even bother us for the next generations, they won't have any men to invade us leisurely anymore, and without an Emperor and most if not all his children dead, they'll have to assign a distant relative to the throne, it will take a while for them to make any moves."

"Hm, I see. Do you want me to wipe them out? Now that they're weak, I could go there and just… ZAAM! Dead." I said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"That's a rather tentative idea…" Elfina said while sighing, she was very tired. "But I don't think that's the right thing to do, many innocents would die, children, elderly… I don't want that."

"I knew you would say that I was just testing you. You're really a good girl, huh?" I sighed, petting her head as I quickly began shapeshifting.

My entire body turned into a black mass of flesh that suddenly started to take a new form. I was testing my Body Shapeshifting Skill right away.

"Uwaah! W-What the heck?!" Elfina fell over her butt, looking at me.

Luminous, Floresse, and Fiere looked at me in shock as they saw me change as well.

Body Shapeshifting is an amazing Skill which grants the power to shapeshift the body, as it reaches a higher level, the MP cost is reduced and the shapeshifting that can be done is enhanced as well.

But for now, I just wanted to take my original Fairy Appearance, that should do it for now.

I quickly created an humanoid body, arms, legs, hair, the two eyes, nose, mouth, all of the classic things, even two horns and… ready!

"Ta-da! It is me, Kireina! This is something similar to my original appearance back in my world!" I said pridefully, puffing my chest, although I was nude.

…Wait, why was my voice child-like out of the sudden?

"Huh?! A little girl?" Asked Elfina while shocked.

"She looks at least to be around her… nine? Ten?" Asked Fiere.

"Uwah, so cute! A fairy girl with horns?!" Floresse exclaimed.

"That's a rather… disappointing look. Also get yourself some clothes." Sighed Luminous.

"Huh?! Eh?! W-Why am I a little girl?! I can't take an adult form?!"

I tried to expand my body many times, but it resulted in weird, mutant-like results, so I quickly stopped and ended in that compact loli form, which was draining my MP a lot, around 1 MP per second. I might be able to stay like this through the entire day, but my MP will still deplete a lot.

As I was analyzing these things, a group of maids and Fiere brought me lots of clothes, from underwear, dresses, boots, and even ribbons for my purple hair…

"Ugh, no! Stop! I don't want these clothes! They're too royalty-like for me!"

"You're a little lady now, so wear some clothes if you want to stay in that form!"

"That's right, Kireina-chan!"

Fiere and Floresse began to reprimand me as if I were an actual little girl.

Who does she think she is?!

"You're not older than me! I am billions of years older! I am older than stars themselves! Don't dare treat me like a child now with this form, which is more compact but still! I am actually a giant and creepy butterfly! I can take this form anytime I want, and I'll ruin these clothes if I want to as well!" I roared angrily to threaten them.

"And you prefer to walk around nude?! A little girl with your appearance will only make everybody surprised and you'll make a scandal!" Said Fiere.

"I am staying here for just a few days before going off, not like I care!" I sighed. "Actually I used to be able to generate clothes too, but I guess that was originally a separate skill…"

Floresse suddenly took a dress and put it in front of my body, testing if it was good enough.

"Uwah~ This one would look so gorgeous on you! Come on, try it out!" She said.

"Uuuggh…! F-Fine! Whatever…" I sighed. "This form is still nice, I can have hands and all, and fit in places and sleep in a comfy bed…"

I ended accepting my terrible fate as I ended trying out various dresses that weren't really my style. I really like more of the "high fantasy" clothes and dresses which are very weirdly shaped and erotic. I have to admit I am quite the degenerate as I love to wear erotic clothes that make men that look at me get boners, but I guess a change in pace can do for now.

Also, I seem to not be able to change my gender with the ability, I seem to be, apparently a female. Every time I try to mold a cock, a tentacle with nothing that looks like a cock appears, so it is hopeless.

At the end, I wore a cute pastel pink and white dress with a few frills, white stockings, some pastel underwear, and pink-colored shoes, I really looked like a little lady and honestly, I was too cute!

Uwah! This wasn't the way of thought I wanted to have!

At night while we all were having dinner, everybody, soldiers included, had their eyes dazzling with surprise by looking at me.

"S-So cute!"

"Is she a new princess?"

"Is she Elfina-sama's little sister?"

"She's so adorable!"

"UGH, STOP CALLING ME CUTE!" I protested angrily, but the people seemed even more fascinated by my attitude, thinking of me as even cuter.

"Hehe, you're raising the morale of everybody here, Kireina-chan! I wouldn't mind calling you my little sister now!" Said Elfina.

"Ugh, fuck you." I sighed.

"W-What with that language for a little girl of your age?!" Fiere cried.

"I am not a little girl!" I cried once more.

After having dinner and filling myself with tens of plates of stew, I went to sleep in a comfy bed.

Having such a small body is good so I can enjoy a nice bed like this one because damn, I really missed one…

…

When I woke up the next morning, the sun was shining brightly through the window.

Yesterday was truly a day where a lot of stuff happened, huh. I evolved, fought the Emperor and then Invidia, and learned about the whole plot of the demons behind everything. Yesterday I explained everything I heard from Invidia to everybody, so they got a better grasp of the situation as well, but even then, things are not getting good.

We have to deal with the demons and get done with this. After all, if I don't take down their King, there'll be never a chance for me to get back home. I really want to crush that vicious Demon King as well.

But there's something else I was thinking about, I remember hearing Invidia saying he had "guinea pigs" and something else even after dying… Just what other thing was this bastard doing behind the backs of the Emperors of the past and the humans?

I already told Elfina and everybody about this as well, but they said that they would be cautious from now on. The King and the Queen were present and discussed things too, but they seemed too pacifist, they didn't wanted to take any advantage on the humans being weakened.

Ugh, they're all way too goody-two-shoes after all.

If I were them, I would had simply crushed the humans while I could, not kill them but like… just conquer them? Make them your vessel nation or something! Wouldn't that be better than killing them all?

I had suggested that to them, but they seemed reluctant to take arms and do it. they're very cowardly to be honest. But you can't expect much form the tree-dwellers knife ears that don't do a thing unless their very lives are threatened.

Well, there's some charm in such a simplistic way of living, but I am really not made up for such a thing. I am really quite the conqueror, if I were in charge, things would be different.

But because I don't want to get more involved than I've already done, I'll leave it up to Elfina to decide.

Knock, knock!

Suddenly, somebody knocked the door and then opened it.

"Kireina! I brought you breakfast, I heard you defeated the Emperor and that demon sword, amazing job- EH?!"

CRASH!

It was Sol bringing me breakfast, and suddenly dropping everything in the floor as he saw my "new" temporary appearance.

"Ah… I didn't told you." I sighed.

"Y-You look like my little sister…!"

He cried, rushing towards me, and trying to hug me.

"Uaaaggh! Get off me, you creep! I'm gonna kill you!"
