“…This is Asha?”

“It’s Lady Shaa.”

“…”

The silver-haired girl looked at the red-haired woman with a face that asked what the problem was. The woman stopped arguing with the girl and turned her eyes to the pink-haired girl growling on the table.

Fluffy light pink hair flowed around her head, and perked-up ears protruded from it. She seemed to be in a bad mood, as she was seen hitting her tail, which protruded from under her robe, against the table with a thud! thud!

The surroundings were a mess, probably because the girl had climbed onto the table.

Combining the information heard from the silver-haired girl, it seemed she had drunk a beastfolk transformation potion.

That wasn’t a big problem in itself. No matter how exceptional, it would revert with time. Setting aside why her sanity had flown away.

In fact, for the woman, more than that…

Why was this girl called Asha? That bothered her more.

If the silver-haired girl had simply said that girl was Asha without any context, she wouldn’t have believed it, but the silver-haired girl had changed how she addressed her as soon as she saw the woman. That amplified the woman’s suspicion.

If that girl growling on the table was really Asha.

‘I could tease her about this for the rest of our lives.’

The red-haired woman once again looked at Asha, who was growling on the table.

She looked completely different from the Asha in her memory. There was no trace of the masculine face, though it had been somewhat thin, and not a single strand of the ash-gray hair that seemed as if it would scatter away like ashes was visible. Even the blue eyes, which had been like a well gushing water in midsummer, had changed to emerald color shining like jewels. The height that used to look down at her… now seemed similar or even shorter.

Could humans change this much? Even the gender had changed.

Come to think of it, wasn’t it possible since Asha had created a medicine that only grew a penis? Such thoughts crossed the red-haired woman’s mind.

By the way…

‘…Was this appearance her preference?’

Looking her over from different angles… somehow she seemed a bit similar to herself.

The woman shook her head to dispel the idle thoughts spreading in her mind.

First… after resolving this chaos and regaining consciousness… she could dig for information.

Although it had diverged somewhat from the purpose of her visit, it was essentially similar, so the woman silently made eye contact with Asha, who was growling on the table.

When she slowly blinked twice at the eyes that met hers, Asha, who had been growling, quieted down and then slowly blinked. As she carefully approached and scratched under her chin, Asha made a pleased sound.

At that sight, the red-haired woman somehow felt a chill run down her spine. It felt strange thinking that the one in front of her was Asha.

“Wow…”

An exclamation from the silver-haired girl was heard from the side. The red-haired woman regained her senses at that voice and cleared her throat. A voice full of curiosity struck her ears.

“How did you do that?”

“…She seems to have drunk a cat-type beastfolk potion, so I just acted accordingly.”

“Is that so? Cecile didn’t know. Was she angry because her tail was touched?”

“…Probably.”

Her name is Cecile? What an unusual child.

The red-haired woman continued speaking while stroking other places with the hand that had been scratching Asha’s chin. Asha, receiving the caresses, made happy sounds and lay down on the table.

“Your name is… Cecile?”

“Yes.”

“…What’s your relationship with Asha, I mean Shaa?”

“Cecile is Lady Shaa’s assistant!”

“…Assistant?”

She used to pretend to be noble and go around alone, but now she has an assistant?

Looking at Cecile, who was nodding her head as if pleased with the fact that she was an assistant, the woman opened her mouth.

“I see… As I said earlier, I’m Shaa’s… colleague… friend…”

A grinding sound was heard from the woman’s mouth.

How was she remembered by Asha?

The hand caressing the girl seemed to have become a bit rougher.

“I’m Veronica… a fellow academy… colleague.”

“Lady Veronica!”

“…Yes.”

Saying this, Veronica picked up Asha. It was slightly burdensome for Veronica with her ordinary strength, but perhaps because of the pleasant stroking? Asha hugged her tightly, making it bearable.

Veronica’s face turned slightly red.

“…Then, assistant. I’ll take care of Shaa for a while, so would you… clean up the workshop in the meantime?”

“Understood!”

Eyes full of trust stared at Veronica. Veronica found that gaze a bit… burdensome.

“Where should I go for a place to rest? A bedroom, or a reception room… preferably a bedroom.”

“Go up the stairs and enter the door that’s immediately visible!”

“…Right, thank you.”

For Veronica, dealing with someone who seemed like the embodiment of such purity was quite awkward. So, using rest as an excuse, she left the space presumed to be the workshop.

Leaving Cecile, who had begun tidying up diligently, behind, Veronica went up to the bedroom and naturally sat on the bed. The light pink-haired Asha who had been clinging to her was now placed on her lap.

Sitting on the bed, which was fluffier than expected, Veronica stroked Asha’s hair as she purred. She wondered what kind of reaction Asha would show when she regained her senses… somehow it felt thrilling just thinking about it.

During this, Veronica’s eyes caught the swaying tail. It swayed as if seducing Veronica. Veronica watched it and, before she knew it, smacked Asha’s bottom where the tail began.

“Unnyaaa~!?”

Somehow, a heated moan sprang from Asha’s mouth.

Veronica felt a strange feeling.

She surely didn’t have such… preferences. But… Why was she feeling this way?

“…Asha.”

As if demanding an answer from the pink-haired girl who didn’t respond, Veronica once again tapped her bottom with a smack.

In response, Asha let out a suggestive moan as if answering.

As if possessed by something, Veronica tapped Asha’s bottom. At her gesture, Asha exhaled heated breaths and twitched her body.

Suddenly, Veronica realized what she was doing. Looking at the girl presumed to be Asha being helplessly toyed with at her gesture…

She found herself feeling satisfied.

Shame washed over her.

“You, you always…”

It had been that way for a long time.

She had found her aptitude at the academy she had entered to avoid a political marriage. With talent, she had been able to absorb everything like a sponge and reach the highest position.

But you blocked that.

At first, she was happy. It felt like she had found someone to walk alongside. But you were always looking elsewhere. It wasn’t even for some noble purpose.

It was just for money.

Getting irritated by that, after I vented, you would embarrass me with your annoyed eyes, asking why I was so excited about the academy level.

A grinding sound was heard from Veronica’s mouth.

…So.

This isn’t my fault.

It’s because you… you’re the bad one!

Veronica raised her hand and tapped Asha’s bottom. The palm that hit the robe made a dull sound rather than a smack. Asha, not knowing what was happening, exhaled heated moans.

The sound of something heavy being moved was heard from downstairs. Veronica suddenly remembered she wasn’t alone. When she brought her remaining hand to Asha’s mouth to muffle her voice, Asha took it into her mouth.

Asha began to lick Veronica’s white but scarred hand that she had taken into her mouth. As if comforting the wounds, her soft tongue invaded between the fingers, leaving traces.

At that, Veronica’s teeth ground with a crunch. Because it looked as if she was asking to be seen like this. Of course, to Asha, who had no reason, it was just a physiological response with no meaning, but… Veronica’s excited thoughts didn’t reach that far.

Veronica pulled up the robe and reached for the snow-white skin exposed through the disheveled clothing due to the tail. This time, a smacking sound was heard.

Asha’s heated breath touched Veronica’s fingers. As if venting her resentment, she smacked Asha’s flesh. She uttered a clumsy rebuke.

“…Y-you perverted bastard…!”

After uttering a clumsy rebuke, she smacked her palm until her own hand turned red. What awakened Veronica’s sanity was the dampness wetting her thighs.

Veronica, realizing she had become too excited, looked down at Asha.

There was… an excited female cat.

A… female who was licking Veronica’s white fingers as if they were the elixir of life, with a reddened face, rubbing her body.

The ears on top of her head drooped as if they had lost strength, and the tail that had been strongly hitting the table was now wrapped around Veronica’s wrist attached to her bottom. The disheveled clothing had somehow become half-removed, and the moisture from Asha’s very excited hole wet Veronica’s thighs.

“…W-why, why are y-you in heat by yourself…!”

Veronica tried to rationalize it to herself, but the one who had made it like this by not controlling her emotions… was Veronica herself. Heat rushed to her face, turning it red. Veronica sighed deeply and muttered.

“…This wasn’t my intention.”

When Veronica’s hand stopped, Asha, who had been blankly accepting that touch, moved her body with a hot yet dissatisfied breath. As if asking to be satisfied quickly, she stuck to Veronica and rubbed her body.

Veronica was embarrassed. It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen a beastfolk in heat before, and she knew how to relieve it, but… thinking that the one rubbing against her was Asha… it felt strange.

“N-no, even so, I don’t have anything to satisfy you-“

…But I do.

Veronica searched her pocket and took out a small box. Inside the opened box was a white pill.

“…Y-you asked me to do this? I clearly said I couldn’t!?”

There was no answer from Asha.
