After enjoying the time with Isis-san in the flower garden, we returned to Isis-san’s castle again and spent a pleasant time in the library talking about books with Isis-san.
For some reason, I often find myself visiting the library when I visit Isis-san’s castle. Isis-san talks about various books, and the leisurely time I spend with her, nodding along and asking questions, is a very happy time.
[……This book…… is so good at describing the scenery…… that just by reading it…… I can picture it in my head…… as if I’m looking at the scenery myself.]
[Fumu fumu, this book also looks interesting. Hmmm, they all look interesting and I’m not sure which one to read first. Come to think of it, I’m changing the subject, but I don’t think I’ve seen Polaris-san today.]
[……Unnn…… Iris said…… that Polaris…… went to gather ingredients for dinner.]Today I encountered Eul first, then Iris-san, then Sirius-san and Rasal-san, and having met Spica-san in the flower garden, I encountered almost all the people in Isis-san’s castle. However, the only one I hadn’t encountered was just Polaris-san, so curious, I asked about her and Isis-san said she went to gather ingredients for dinner.
Considering how she said she “gathered ingredients” rather than “buying”, perhaps she’s gathering ingredients that are normally difficult to obtain.
[……Because Kaito is coming…… everyone is excited…… Even Eul said she was going to decorate the dining room.]
[You didn’t have to be so fancy…… However, I’m happy to be welcomed.]
Thinking that they might be preparing a feast for dinner, I felt apologetic, but also a strong feeling of happiness.
It feels nice to have a friendly relationship with Isis-san’s subordinates…… or rather, her family. Even so, Eul is apparently decorating…… I knew she was smart and dexterous, but I didn’t know she was already capable of such a thing……
While I was thinking about this, the door to the library opened and I heard a young voice.[……Excuse my intrusion. Isis-sama, are we to have dinner time as scheduled?]
[……Unnn…… It’s alright.]
[……Unnn? Eh? Arehh?]
The one who entered the room was a petite girl with silver semi-short hair whom I did not recognize, and wondering who she was, I tilted my head for a moment…… but the presence transmitted by my Sympathy Magic…… was that of Eul.
[……Eh? Are you…… Eul?]
[Yes! Ahh, that’s right. This would be the first time Kaito-sama sees this form. My apologies for surprising you.]
[……Eul…… can already use Humanization Magic…… so just like Megiddo, she can take on a human form.]
[Ahh, I see…… Humanized form huh.]
Now that she mentioned it, I guess that makes sense. Eul’s magic power is incredibly powerful, and from what I’ve heard from Isis-san and Iris-san, she’s an exceptional genius who quickly became proficient in Advanced Magic. In that case, it wouldn’t be surprising if she could also use Humanization Magic.
And looking at her after knowing that, I could see that her hair color is the same as the color of Eul’s fur, so I could certainly see the resemblance.
[……It’s just…… Eul doesn’t seem to like this form…… so she doesn’t use Humanization Magic very often.]
[Is that so?]
[H- Hmmm, rather than hate…… I don’t want to change my appearance with magic, I want my true appearance to be that of a Demon’s like Isis-sama. However, recreating one’s own body is a fairly advanced technique, and it’s still difficult for me at the moment. I haven’t fully mastered my latent magical abilities, and I also lack sufficient magic power, so I can’t use it. Therefore, because you could say that it’s still not complete, I don’t really want to be in this form. Today, since Kaito-sama had come all the way to visit us, I also wanted to do something, so I was decorating in this form.]
I see, I certainly heard from Isis-san that Eul is thinking of recreating her own body and doing some kind of reincarnation.
I heard that it would be the same magic as the one Kuro used to transform Neun-san’s body into a Demon’s, but it’s a magic so advanced that even Lilia-san didn’t know about its particulars and was surprised when she heard about it, so even if Eul is a genius, it’s probably not so easy to perform.
And so, until she’s able to do so, she’s using Humanization Magic in place of it in necessary situations.
After listening to the situation and responding with a nod, I put my hand on the petite Eul’s head and lightly patted her with a smile.
[……I see, you did your best to make me feel welcome. Thank you, Eul.]
[Ehehe, t- t- that’s only natural! I’ll do my best for Isis-sama and Kaito-sama’s sake!!!]
[I’m glad to hear that, but don’t overdo it, okay? Even so, I’m glad I’m able to talk with Eul like this.]
[I’m also happy to talk to Kaito-sama, and being patted on my head is happiness, so I’m glad I used Humanization Magic….. Ahh, b- but of course, the main reason I used it is to make sure the decorations are done properly!]
Along with her petite appearance, Eul, who was happily smiling when I was patting her head, looks incredibly adorable. Seeing her respond with such joy, much like a child being praised, was quite heartwarming.
[……Eul too, if you’re not busy…… How about we chat together?]
[Eh? Am I not disturbing you two by staying here?]
[That isn’t the case. Both Isis-san and I welcome you here.]
[Ahh…… T- Then…… In that case…… I will gratefully accept your kind words.]
Hearing what Isis-san and I said, Eul nodded her head with a really happy smile on her face.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [She hasn’t mastered her abilities, but with the enormous magic power as a Ten-Tailed Mystic Silver and talent as good as Lilia’s, it certainly is no wonder that she can use Humanization Magic……]
? ? ? : [Incidentally, since her change in appearance is caused by Humanization Magic, it seems like she has lost her ears and tails. That was something she couldn’t accept, so
she doesn’t intend to use it very much……]
Serious-senpai : [I mean, Eulpecula really feels like Isis and Kaito’s child huh……]
