Chapter 133

「Diadora, isn’t that enough already!?」

Selina’s rare voice of displeasure reached my ears. It was the following morning after Lenia and Keios’ first meeting, and having decided to go sightseeing around the capital, Selina, Dramina, Diadora and myself were gathered at our lodging’s front entrance.

Although there were plenty of other students around who were also going to sightsee or to visit family, our group was filled with such a varied lineup, so we gathered quite a bit of attention.

「My, it’s fine, isn’t it? I’m not Dran’s familiar, so I don’t get to spend as much time with him as you do」

So the reason why Selina was in a bad mood this early in the morning was because as soon as we gathered at the entrance, Diarora had linked her left arm with my right arm, and was clinging to me like glue.

As a spirit of the Black Rose, Diadora is a charming and a uniquely beautiful woman. She was catching the attention of Selina’s jealousy, filled with thoughts such as, “get away from him,” or “blow up,” or “get incapacitated.”

But we were certainly being looked at by all the students around us, and it is looked upon unfavorably for two people of the opposite sex to be cuddling up to each other in public like this.

「That may be true, but you’ve clung onto Dran for long enough. It’ll be hard for him to walk like that, so get away from him already!」

「Fufu, just because you’re jealous doesn’t mean you should raise your voice so loudly, you know? Dramina is maintaining her elegant, ladylike appearance, you should learn from her」

「That’s just how she appears from the outside, Diadora. Despite how she looks, a volcano of jealousy is erupting inside her heart right now」

「If that’s what you say, then I’m the one who’s always jealous every day. After all, you two get to spend every day eating and sleeping together with him. There’s no way I wouldn’t get jealous, right? I need to make up for that, so that’s why I’m clinging to Dran now」

When she said that, her grip on my arm grew stronger. Her face broke out into a big smile, and in turn, Selina’s mood grew worse.

In order for us to sightsee throughout the capital, the first thing I would have to do is get Diadora to separate from me, and then find a way to cheer Selina up. Fumumun.

Selina was looking at Diadora’s arm linked with mine, getting angrier by the second, and it was starting to look like it would take some time before we could get going. So I let Diadora cling to me for as long as she wanted until she was satisfied enough to release me, and then we were finally able to head out.

We had plans to tour the capital to buy souvenirs for everyone in Bern Village and our friends from Ente Forest, and to observe the city for the purpose of developing Bern Village. But the now satisfied Diadora pointed out our current problem.

Her face really did look quite relaxed now. If all the other students who only know her for her usual calm and captivating appearance were to see her now, their jaws would drop.

「Well then, Dramina and I will probably just stick out a bit, but what will you do, Selina? Galois is one thing, but if a lamia walks around the capital, it would cause quite a stir, right?」

People from all around the kingdom gather here in the capital, so of course there were elves, dwarves, and landrunners, but there were also several bug and beast people, bird people, and snake people who could also be seen around the city.

Put simply, bug people and beast people consist of praying mantises, beetles, bees, dragonflies, scorpions, centipedes, cats, dogs, wild boars, and wolves, deer, sparrows, and swallows. It covers a wide variety, but even that is divided further into more categories, with people of various different species, all coexisting in a melting pot.

Although they are all accused of being evil beings, they are definitely not monsters. But as a lamia, Selina walking around town would likely cause unwelcome situations to arise.

「Fufufu, Diadora, I’ve already known for a long, long time that I can’t just walk around with Dran in my regular form. Besides, lamia have a certain magic specifically for times like this」

Selina puffed out her chest proudly as she smiled. Selina can be quite carefree and even a little spacey sometimes, so Diadora looked a little surprised to see that Selina was properly prepared.

Dramina and I had helped Selina learn this particular magic, so we already knew what she was going to do.

「Honestly, this isn’t magic that only lamia can use, so I can’t really be too proud of it, but here we go. Oh, reason of life, hear my voice. Take my body, my voice, my flesh, my bones, and change it to the form of my will. Shape Shift!」

The moment Selina’s spell chant ended, the lower half of her body became enveloped in light, and her snake body began to change form.

To put on this fake appearance is different from simple illusion magic, this was actually changing the structure of her body, and it was a very high level of magic.

It’s a magic that lamia have in order to slip into other species’ settlements, but just as Selina said, it’s not necessarily a magic spell inherent to only lamia.

When I first met her, Selina hadn’t yet learned how to use this magic, but by participating in many fierce battles and receiving lectures after enrolling in the Magic Academy, her skill as a mage rose remarkably, and that’s how she learned this spell.

By the time the light subsided, her skeletal structure had completely changed, and she now had two legs just like any human. Seeing this, Diadora stared unblinkingly at Selina’s bare feet.

「How is it, Diadora? With this, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?」

「Yes, this is amazing. This won’t cause any uproars. It’s fine to leave your face and voice the same, it doesn’t need to be changed, so all that’s left is…」

Guessing from Diadora’s words that there was still a problem, Selina tilted her head in confusion. Selina had thought it was a satisfactory transformation, so she probably didn’t think she had messed up anywhere.

「Um, is there something strange about it?」

「Let’s see, I can’t recommend that you walk around with bare feet. Well, Dramina is always prepared for anything, so I’m sure we don’t have to waste time to go shopping」

In a way, the look Diadora sent toward Dramina was filled with trust, and Dramina nodded her head in affirmation from underneath her veil.

「Yes, I took it upon myself to do some shopping while we were still in Galois. Now then, Selina, please wear this」

She had forgotten because she had been bragging in front of Diadora, but Dramina was well prepared. She took out shoes and socks from an imaginary dimension she had prepared, and placed them in front of Selina.

Recently, signs of summer had gone away, replaced by the world being dyed in the colors of autumn. Selina wore a light green dress with white frills layered on the neckline and sleeves, an outfit suitable for this season. The shoes Dramina brought out matched the dress, made of a high quality, red dyed material.

Before anyone could say anything, I knelt down in front of Selina, grasped her foot, and began to help her put the shoes on.

Ever since Selina started practicing her Shape Shift magic, it was my job to help her put on her shoes.

However, we had always done this inside my room in the boys’ dormitory, not in public. So upon seeing it, Dramina fixed a stare full of jealousy at us, as if wishing I could do the same for her. Perhaps it had been too rash to have done this at the main entrance.

Selina’s cheeks grew red when I took hold of her bare feet.

The lower half of her body, in the usual snake form, had always been a reason for her to be avoided by others, but now that it has changed into human legs, no one around us would object to the statement that she is an exceptionally beautiful girl.

And since I was touching the feet of that beautiful girl without any hesitation, and helping her put on the socks and shoes, I was likely the target of the jealousy from other youthful males nearby.

Because Selina was getting embarrassed, and Diadora and Dramina were complaining endlessly, they didn’t notice the attention we were attracting from our surroundings. As I thought, it would be better to have Selina transform in our room beforehand instead.

But if I stop now, then the now happy Selina would be disappointed. In that case, I will resign myself to my fate, and take on the duty of receiving all the jealous glares. That is what it means to be a man.

As a result of practicing so many times, the task of putting shoes on Selina went by quickly without a hitch. Well, I am used to doing that for her, but I wasn’t used to the feel of bare skin instead of the usual snake scales.

So I ended up touching her feet longer than needed, all the while being scolded by Dramina several times. Selina didn’t seem like she disliked it; rather she seemed to welcome it, but this wasn’t the time or place to be touching the feet of my lover.

Selina removed her hands from my shoulders, which she’d been using to keep balanced, and she checked the fit of the shoes by tapping them on the ground repeatedly.

Selina looked happy, like a kid who just received something they’ve begged numerous times for, causing Diadora and Dramina to look at her with the loving gazes of older sisters looking at their cute little sister.

And according to biological age, mental age, and status, these three really could be like sisters. Would Diadora be the wild eldest sister, Dramina the reliable middle sister, and Selina the somewhat absent-minded youngest sister, I suppose?
