Helmut

Episode 305

“Nyan?”

Elaga blinked. No, it wasn’t Elaga. In the place where the giant leopard disappeared, a small, doll-like white cat sat with a puzzled expression.

[what? What is this?]

“What is it?”

A hand stretched out from the side and grabbed Elaga’s neck.

“Looking at you like this, don’t you think you’re cute too?”

Elaga looked up. Standing there was a woman I had never seen before.

A woman wearing a wizard’s robe with pink hair and crimson eyes that are very beautiful even to the eyes of a monster.

It had an appearance that was noticeable even from a distance.

Elaga intuitively sensed her identity.

[…Ygrel?]

“Do you recognize me well? Do you look cute now? “It’s a word that doesn’t suit you, though.”

She grinned and let Elaga go in the air.

widely! Elaga landed gently on all four legs like a cat.

“Hmm, there’s nothing special about a human body, right? Is the balance a little different? Well, this is about as much as this for Ygrel.”

Ygrel was also an organism that walked on two legs, so it was easy for him to adapt. After touching her body here and there, she took a long step forward.

She stumbled slightly but soon succeeded in walking normally.

“Magic is so amazing.”

Antiol rested his chin and his eyes sparkled with interest.

“It is more amazing that you can speak with human vocal cords than that you can walk.”

“It just works.”

Ygrel shrugged his shoulders confidently. Heike asked.

“Is that what you wanted?”

“okay.”

A natural smile appeared on Igrel’s face as she transformed into a human woman. Ygrel’s wish.

‘I want to be human!’

This does not mean that I want to abandon my original self and become completely human.

However, I was curious about the existence of humans, who were completely different from monsters.

A person who risks his life for someone else and accomplishes the impossible.

Would we be able to know anything about them if they took on human form? Can we understand what the human mind is?

Since I had been in the human world for a long time, it was good to take on human form in order to experience human life.

Of course, Ygrel did not want to become an ordinary human.

‘Beautiful human being.’ Igrel boasted a gorgeous and beautiful appearance even when she was a monster.

As she became a human woman, she became a gorgeous beauty with a curvaceous body. So much so that everyone looks and doubts their eyes.

Asuka and Xian made sounds of suspicion and exclamation at the same time.

“Is that possible with magic?”

“So this is the magic of the archmage?”

Helmut turned his head towards Area. She briefly became aware of the flow of magical power and came to her senses.

“Area, can you do it too?”

“…maybe?”

It was an awkward answer. No matter how great a wizard is, the level of all magic is not even.

There are bound to be some best fields that are explored particularly deeply. Heike was the best in that field of magic, and Area, who was not yet an archmage, could not fathom her magic.

‘You might not know if the magic was cast on yourself, but it completely changed the size of such a large monster…’

Areaa frowned. At this point, it wasn’t just a simple disguise. She once again realized that Heike was called a genius before he was called an archmage.

If Area and Lampione were geniuses, Heike was also a genius. Among the great wizards, there is no one who is not a genius.

Area, whose consciousness was clouded by intoxication for a moment before realizing, began to doze off again.

Elaga, who was walking a few steps on the floor as if feeling awkward about her smaller body, suddenly looked up at Igrel with unfamiliar eyes.

[So, are you a female?]

Igrel asked, raising his eyes.

“Yeah, you didn’t know?”

Ygrel is a female! Elaga felt similar feelings to Asuka and Xian when they found out that Area was a woman.

[No, male birds are more flashy than females.]

“As I grew up, my appearance changed a bit. “Towards the flashy side.”

Ygrel brushed his shiny hair as if showing off his feathers.

Although it is impossible to change to the extent that a leopard becomes a bird, the demonic nature does affect growth.

That’s why Igrel’s fur has a colorful color that is difficult to achieve naturally, and Elaga’s fur is particularly white.

Heike nodded.

“So the implementation went well. “Because I already had experience.”

[Isn’t it colorful when you’re human?]

“If you do that, you’ll stand out, you idiot. But you look cute that way? “It has become so small that if you step on it, you will die.”

Igrel burst into laughter as he said something cruel. It was intended as a provocation, but Elaga, who had changed into a small size as she had hoped, simply nodded her head as if it was funny.

[I like it, but why? It’s cute when it gets smaller. Except when I was young, I lived a big life all my life.]

Sarah clenched her fists and shouted from the other side.

“That’s right, Elaga, you look so cute now!”

[Did you hear that?]

Elaga was a cat that showed off proudly, even at first glance. Ygrel also saw it for a moment and thought it was cute, but quickly consciously erased it.

‘Wake. That’s Elaga. It’s because Igrel is only fascinated by what he can see.’

[But you can’t fly in that form, right? You say you want to fly outside the forest of Pahe? I thought it would be like a falcon at best.]

Igrel made an expression of regret. She immediately looked back at Heike.

“Can’t I undo this transformation and apply it again?”

“it’s possible. It’s just that… it takes some time to turn it into an artifact. If you want to transform freely without me, you’ll need an artifact. Since Magi resists magic, it should be an artifact that operates with Magi rather than magic power. “The transformation effect will last for more than a month, but if you use even a little bit of magic energy in the meantime, it will wear off.”

Igrel and Elaga’s magical energy is incredible. If they hadn’t responded, it would have been impossible to even cast the spell. Before the magic power could achieve magic, it would have been scattered by the backlash of the magic energy.

Ygrel also noticed that creating that artifact would not be easy and that only the person in front of him, the Archmage, would be able to do it.

In the Forest of Pahe, all you had to do was press down on your opponent with force and get what you wanted.

But Pahe’s forest and the human world are different. Ygrel was willing to become accustomed to the ways of the human world. Because she was the most flexible monster in Pahe Forest.

Ygrel smiled brightly.

“You know that in the human world, if you want to get something, you have to pay something. How about you, Archmage? “Would you like me to pluck my feathers?”

“Just as Antiol and Area activated the sacred magic circle to the Forest of Pahe even though they are wizards, it would be possible to operate the artifact as a magic energy. “I have been experimenting with it, so creating an artifact for Ygrel is something worth researching.”

As he said that, a smile appeared on Heike’s lips.

“But if you give me something in return, I can’t refuse. “I don’t want the feather, but I want you to give me something else instead.”

“What is that?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

“Hmph, I guess you’re going to ask for something big. Ok, fine. It won’t be often that you get a chance to get something from Mr. Ygrel. “If you’re going to ask for something, ask for something big.”

“Even when I become a human, the way I speak is the same.”

“It kind of feels like a queen.”

A few humans were whispering over there. Helmut opened his mouth.

“So should Elaga and Ygrel stay here for the time being? Until that artifact is created.”

Ygrel would go her own way, but Elaga felt like she was in company with Helmut more than anyone else.

Susan and Seraya had roughly thought about what to do, but Elaga had to take care of Helmut so that he wouldn’t get into an accident.

It was management, not care. Elaga is a monster whose very existence is a disaster in the human world.

“There has been some research done, but it will still take a month. Rather…”

Heike glanced at Helmut. Helmut flinched for some reason.

Her eyes and appearance, which looked exactly like Area, were unfamiliar. Area’s blood relatives. It was Helmut who had never had a proper conversation with Heike.

This was partly because Area had an impenetrable defense, and partly because she knew that Area did not like her.

However, Area was currently drunk and was unable to interrupt their conversation.

“I heard your story from Area. “You know about me too, right?”

“…yes.”

“Nothing else, please take good care of Area. It should be like that. “Area risked her life for you.”

Heike’s eyes were somewhat sharp. It was a tone that felt more disapproving the further it went.

Something like, ‘My granddaughter risks her life for a man.’ Even if she doesn’t get along with Area, she is her grandmother anyway. Helmut recalled a magazine he had read at the Academy that he didn’t know when he had read, such as ‘How to talk to your father-in-law’. Immediately his mouth opened.

“I would risk my life for her too.”

“That’s right.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Heike’s lips. I guess it was the right answer.

Meow!

At that time, Elaga suddenly jumped onto Helmut’s lap. As I strengthened my legs, a cry automatically came out of my mouth.

Helmut looked at Elaga with strange eyes. Such a small Elaga. It was awkward and I couldn’t get used to it, so I got goosebumps.

“why?”

[Looking at you like this, he looks pretty big too.]

Then he naturally sat down on his butt.

The one leaning on his shoulder was Aria, and the one sitting on his lap was Elaga. It felt like something like a living sofa.

“Why are you sitting there?”

[You also put me down a lot. Are you dissatisfied?]

Elaga snorted. Helmut had often fallen asleep on or against Elaga’s body since childhood. I was thinking of taking this opportunity to get it back. The problem was that the appearance was too cute to match its essence.

Helmut looked away.

“Do whatever you want.”

Next to me, Sarah, who was in a state of excitement due to alcohol, was stamping her feet and whining.

“My knees are empty too!”

“Shall I sit down for you?”

Ygrel sneakily walked over to him and picked up a bottle of alcohol. I was going to hold the glass with my hand like a human and drink it down in earnest.

Even if you become human, your drinking capacity doesn’t go anywhere. Although the appearance changed, many features remained the same.

“Then I have to go study the artifact.”

Heike smiled and said hello and then disappeared, and Sian gently placed his hand on Helmut’s shoulder.

“Hey Helmut. “We haven’t had a proper conversation since we reunited, right?”

It seemed that Area, who could be disturbed, was also asleep, so this was an opportunity. Helmut looked straight at him.

“Didn’t you say you had something to say earlier?”

“You remembered. “That being said… you haven’t already decided on your future plans right now, right?”

“okay.”

“Then I have a suggestion for you. Would you like to hear it?”

Helmut nodded immediately. Xian’s mouth opened with a smile.
