“It is a magic that polymorphs animals into people.”

“Are you sure you want to use it now?”

Varen said in a confident voice. Balus, who was standing behind, uttered a puzzled expression. Ronan, who was dumbfounded and blinked, opened his mouth.

“Hmm... polymorphing animals into humans isn’t a particularly great invention, is it?”

“How can you say that! This is the magic every ecologist dreams of. After a lot of hard work, I made it!”

“No, already nasty wizards can transform people into frogs. Isn’t it similar to that?”

There was nothing more special than I thought, so my pulse went numb. The magic of transforming an opponent into an animal or object was included in the curriculum of the Phileon Magic Department.

Expectations were built up to the fullest, and it was just like this. Baren, who read Ronan’s expression, waved his hand.

“no. It’s completely different from that. It would be convenient to think of applying the dragon’s favorite polymorph to animals. It’s not just changing the appearance, it’s rebuilding the body based on the subject’s ego. You can even ‘talk’.”

“oh.”

Ronan pursed his lips. This was definitely exciting news. I couldn’t believe I could hear a different sound coming out of Sheeta’s mouth.

“Once you see it for yourself, you will understand. Can I try it right now?”

“Well, I think it would be fun.”

Ronan nodded. If the magic is released anyway, it will return to its original state, but it seemed worth trying. He turned to Sheeta and asked.

“Sita. Are you okay?”

“Knock it!”

Sheeta flapped her wings as if responding. His eyes were shining brightly in anticipation. Varen, who had a good laugh, opened the scroll.

“Then it is decided. now sita. Don’t move from there.”

The situation developed rapidly. Facing Sheeta, Baren muttered a few sentences that he couldn’t understand. Faaaaa...! A halo of light burst from the geometric magic circle and covered Sheeta’s body.

“Damn it?!”

Sheeta’s eyes widened. The light, which grew stronger and stronger, eventually became difficult to look at properly.

“Ugh.”

Ronan and Balus covered their eyes. It was a much louder magic than I thought. Due to the wind from the mana vortex, the papers scattered around the office were flying around making frivolous sounds.

“Damn, is this okay? Isn’t that an offensive magic?”

“Now we just need a little more!”

Ronan, impatient, asked nervously. Baren was about to answer. Kwaaang! A shockwave from the center of the flash hit the three people.

“Keoouk!”

“Ahh!”

Baren and Balus hit their buttocks and fell. The only one who didn’t fall was Ronan. At that moment, the cluster of lights that covered the field of vision disappeared at once. Ronan’s brow narrowed.

“ok?”

Sheeta was nowhere to be seen. As if to replace him, a little boy was standing in front of the wide open window. It was a child who looked ten years old at most, with the crown of his head not even reaching Ronan’s waist.

“Wow wow...!”

The little boy was looking at his limbs alternately and shouting exclamations. The fern-like fingers were wiggling. An innocent curse came out of Ronan’s mouth.

“God damn it. Sheeta?”

There was no need for further explanation of the identity of the child. The race has changed, but the characteristics have remained intact.

The fluffy feathers became black, plentiful hair, and four wings draped over the body in a mysterious robe. Ronan muttered involuntarily.

“...It’s like Asher.”

Her features were clear and her skin was white, so it was impossible to tell her gender. If he was a man, he would be a strong match for Asher. Baren jumped up and called for joy.

“Oh, success! I couldn’t believe it would even work for the dream bird!”

“Oh my God...!”

Balus also opened his mouth in admiration. Then Sheeta took her eyes off her palm and looked at Ronan. Her ruby-red eyes shimmered beneath her long, dark eyelashes.

“dad. touch my hair huh?”

Sheeta said in a charming voice. He patted his cheek against his chest, as he always did. Is this how it feels to have a son... or a daughter? Ronan, who was dumbfounded, opened his mouth as he stroked Sheeta’s head.

“Come on, do you think I have a kid this big? Calm down first...”

“Hehe, my poor sister!”

However, there was no time left to hear an explanation from Elizabeth, who was in irreversible shock. With tears in her eyes, she sobbed and ran out of the office.

“Oh, good-bye!”

Shion did not forget to say hello even while he was being held. Ronan, who had been silent, put his hand on Balus’ shoulder and said.

“...Balus. request.”

“Wealth please?”

“I don’t have the confidence to persuade that woman without using my strength right now. You are still a gentleman, so go and explain for me.”

“that...!”

“You may be a girl who will burn the whole mountain if you put your mind to it, but don’t be too scared because you are fundamentally kind. Remuneration is definitely paid.”

My head pounded every time I heard the sound of going down the stairs. Balus’ face turned white. He looked back and forth between Ronan and the door, then ran out of the room.

“Ezebet-sama. It’s all a misunderstanding!”

“It’s noisy!”

The sound of footsteps got farther and farther away. If there is one thing I regret the most right now, it was the declaration of quitting smoking just yesterday. Even if it’s just a day late, it’s great. Baren, who had been dumbfounded for a while, opened his mouth.

“Sorry. I’m so embarrassed... I should have told Miss Elizabeth that it was a misunderstanding.”

“No, Baren. It can be enough.”

First I had to calm down. He was in the middle of breathing deeply and controlling his emotions. Suddenly, Sheeta, who had been rubbing her cheek, raised her head.

“dad. Let’s play tag with me.”

“hide and seek?”

“huh. When I became a human, I really wanted to do it. I can’t hide because I’m so big... can’t I?”

The round eyes were shining brightly. It was truly devastating to feel cute even when angry. Ronan, who was looking down at him, opened his mouth.

“Sita. Now is the time...”

“If you catch me instead, I’ll tell you what Papa and Varen have been wondering about. Are you curious about how we are born?”

“what?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. I never thought that those words would come out of Sheeta’s own mouth.

“really?”

“huh. I remember every single one of them. Will you play with me?”

Ronan and Baren exchanged glances at the same time. Originally, it would have been impossible to catch Sheeta, who could fly faster than sound, but now that she was transformed into a human, there was a chance.

On the contrary, since it would be my first time running on two legs, there was a possibility that things could be solved very easily. How far would you run if you jumped on those slender legs? Ronan, who struggled to hold back a laugh, nodded.

“okay. I will play with you.”

“really? really? wow!”

“Because it is. Is it okay to count one minute and chase after it?”

“huh!”

Sheeta smiled brightly. For a moment, an unknown ominous feeling passed Ronan’s back. It was just as he was about to say something. Sheeta ran with Ronan on her back and leaped out the window.

“Hey, there’s a window...!”

“Huh! Sheeta!”

There was no gap to dry. It was a moment of astonishment as Baren’s mane bristled. shhh! Sheeta, who had disappeared from sight for a moment, reappeared.

“One minute! You can’t cheat!”

he shouted, looking at Ronan. The four wings that sprouted before I knew it were flapping behind Sheeta’s back. It seemed that it was more specialized for flight than it was when it was an animal.

Sheeta smiled and turned her back. Faaaaang-! As the wings moved, his body shot out.

Sheeta, who had turned into a black dot in an instant, disappeared into the blue sky.

“Fuck.”
