A Space War Unfit for the Screen

「Good morning, Yeld! Did you sleep well?」

Yeld had spent the night in a bed far more comfortable than anything he’d ever used before.

When he woke and went out for breakfast, he ran into Hestia.

「Wh-What are you wearing?!」

Hestia looked completely different.

Though her facial features were the same, her hair had changed from red to black. The soft waves were now straight and blunt-cut.

Most striking of all was her outfit—clearly unusual. Yeld had the vague sense it must be based on a Transferee’s style.

「This is called a blazer! Pretty cool tie, huh?」

She dangled a strange strip of fabric—apparently called a ‘tie’—for Yeld to admire.

「I meant… why the change? You were already beautiful yesterday!」

「Oh, Yeld! You’re such a sweet-talker! But flattery won’t get you anything but rations right now, okay?」

「That’s not what I meant!」

Hestia let out a cheerful laugh.

「Well, if I walked around like I did yesterday, everyone would know I’m Hestia.
