Chapter 233: Secret Meeting
(4)

Balkan
stared blankly at the female figure that appeared before him as his
eyes met with Celsia’s.

Without
particularly bowing her head, unlike when she had been in her small
girl form just moments ago, their eyes met at the same level.

She’s
extremely tall for a woman. Almost 2 meters, it seemed.

But
it wasn’t just that she had grown taller.

Unlike
her previously childlike body, she now had vulgar breasts that gave
off a sweet powdered milk scent.

The
breasts, which looked like they would leak milk if struck hard,
seemed as shy as their owner, with nipples that didn’t stick out but
remained hidden.

The
pink areolas and between them, what was hiding in a straight line.

Inverted
nipples.

Rip-rip.

A
tearing sound came from her body.

At
first glance, he thought she was naked, but she wasn’t.

The
white negligee Celsia had been wearing was see-through even on her
childlike body, but now with her violent feminine form, it had
completely lost its function as clothing.

The
fabric, stretched to its limit by its owner’s sudden transformation,
was making popping sounds as threads broke but Celsia seemed more
incredulous about her body returning to its original form than the
current situation.

“…Ah…”

Celsia
lifted her arms and stared at them as if entranced.

Not
a small, young body but a large, strong body.

The
supreme physique of one who had mastered both magic and
swordsmanship, forged through blood and sweat to personally
experience the grandeur and dangers of the labyrinth city as heir to
the kingdom that housed it.

She
lowered her head to further examine her body, which felt both
familiar and strange, but unlike before, her view was blocked by her
voluptuous breasts, so she just patted herself with her hands
instead.

The
sensation of clear 11-line abs, thighs with both plump fat and
muscle, buttocks with an even more distinct fatty feel.

Celsia
ran her hands over every part of her body, realizing again that she
had returned to her original form.

To
borrow the expression from the blessing paper given by Serif, a
priest who was once in the same party – she had returned to her
superior body of 198cm with J-cup breasts.

Celsia
felt tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

Whether
her timid personality had also returned to normal would need to be
confirmed gradually, but she was so happy just to have her original
body back that she wanted to squeal with joy.

But
after swallowing those emotions once, Celsia bowed deeply to the man
before her.

“Thank
you. Really…really thank you, Balkan.”

And
she remembered from whom she had received this grace.

Because
the wave of emotions that came with regaining her desired body was
beyond Celsia’s imagination.

“I’ve
received enough thanks already, so please raise your head.”

Balkan
hastily waved his hands as he spoke.

Though
their relationship had evolved from savior and saved to mutual
friends, there was still some awkwardness remaining.

-Rip-rip-rip.

Plus,
her clothes screaming in protest didn’t help.

Because
she had bowed almost 90 degrees, Celsia’s back and buttock cleavage
were clearly visible, with threads breaking along her beautifully
developed erector spinae muscles.

Moreover,
due to her suddenly widened hips and buttocks, her white panties were
completely failing to serve their purpose.

A
precarious sight with half her buttocks exposed and only barely
covering her pubic mound.

“……”

Celsia
belatedly realized the situation.

As
she bowed to apologize, she finally noticed the white bra lying at
her feet.

Perhaps
it had broken during her transformation.

It
was only natural, as there was no way a bra meant for modest breasts
could cover her current violently transformed chest.

As
she hurriedly tried to pick up the bra, embarrassment suddenly washed
over her.

“…Huh?”

Suddenly
her vision swayed greatly, and Celsia’s body fell forward.

-Thunk!

After
hitting her head on the floor, Celsia stared blankly at her body.

“…It’s
back?”

She
had returned again to her 143cm A-cup childlike body.

“Uh,
uh, uuh…Why, why…?”

Celsia
grabbed Balkan’s leg in frustration.

“How
can you give and take it away…! This… this…! It’s really too
much…!”

“Ah,
no. The blessing definitely got absorbed…”

Balkan
was equally confused.

Even
looking at Celsia’s status window, [Blessing of the Incompetent
Magician] had disappeared.

More
precisely, it had been transferred into the jewel given by the Demon
of Sloth, as if being sucked in.

“Th-then
why…?”

The
moment she expressed doubt, Celsia’s body returned to its 198cm J-cup
form.

“……???”

Their
bewildered gazes met.

***

After
experiencing two or three more body transformations, Celsia spoke
with a confident tone.

“The,
the ble-blessing has mixed with my so-soul. Like, like a brand…”

Though
her tone was full of confidence, her voice trembled strangely as she
spoke these words.

“The
blessing mixed with your soul?”

“It’s
ra-rare, but I’ve seen similar cases before.”

Celsia
shared a case she had seen in the labyrinth.

“Ah,
there was an explorer who had a curse that transformed them into a
cow beastkin, and because they had carried the curse for so long, it
partially mixed with their soul. In the end, even after the curse was
removed, characteristics like cow beastkin horns and spots remained
on their body…”

“What
the…”

“They
said it was a rare case that only had a chance of happening if you
had good compatibility with the curse and carried it for over 5
years, but why me of all people…Ah, maybe I’ve had it that long
too…Uuugh…!”

A
brand of blessing and curse – this was certainly an unexpected
phenomenon.

I
watched Celsia as she grabbed her head and sighed in frustration.

In
other words, does this mean that the childlike body has good
compatibility with Celsia?

“…Silent
casting magic doesn’t work either…The blessing’s effect is gone. It
seems I can only change my appearance like this…”

After
looking down at the floor and sighing for a moment, Celsia suddenly
lifted her head.

“It’s
co-coming.”

“What
is?”

“My
bo-body is coming.”

Right
after those words, her body began to grow again.

“You
can feel that?”

“Yes.
Vaguely….I think I might be able to control it after experiencing
it a few more times…”

It
was truly fortunate that she could control her body.

After
all, it would be incredibly inconvenient if her body grew and shrank
several times a day.

“What
happens when you age? Do you just transform into the same young
child? Or does the young body age too?”

“Th-that…hmm…I’m
not sure, but it probably won’t change. My appearance hasn’t changed
at all these past few years…”

Suddenly,
an image of Celsia as a mature MILF who had given birth and aged came
to mind.

Celsia
with a fully matured, wine-like mind inhabiting a childlike body…

Of
course, looking at the current Celsia, it didn’t seem like she would
do such a thing, but you never know what the future holds.

“Uugh.
Co-cold…I really need to go back now…”

Celsia
said while rubbing her arms as her body shivered.

Balkan
checked the time on Diana’s wristwatch, and it was already 2 AM.

As
she said, it was about time to go back but there was one problem.

“…You
can’t go back in that state.”

“Uugh…”

Celsia
covered her areolas and crotch with her arms and the bra that didn’t
even cover half her breasts.

Literally,
after several transformations between childlike and voluptuous forms,
the negligee had become more of a rag than clothing.

The
loosely stretched fabric scraps couldn’t cover Celsia’s superior body
at all.

Every
time my gaze unconsciously drifted to her shy inverted nipples barely
covered by her hands, the incubus’s virility boiled up, but I
desperately suppressed my erection.

No
matter what, I couldn’t extend lustful hands toward someone who had
been my benefactor just moments ago.

“Plus,
it’s quite far from here to the inner castle. If we run into any
patrolling knights…”

“Uugh,
ab-absolutely! Absolutely not…! If, if I get caught…It’s, it’s
over…”

That’s
right. That absolutely cannot happen.

Even
if her body’s lines had changed, Celsia’s characteristic appearance
with blonde hair and green eyes was too noticeable.

A
princess of a nation couldn’t be wandering around in what was
essentially a naked, vulgar state.

In
the end, there was only one solution.

“I’ll
go to Celsia’s room and bring clothes.”

That
is, leaving Celsia here and breaking into her room to bring clothes.

Then
dress her in those clothes and return to the inner castle together.

That
was the only way to return to the inner castle without being
discovered by others.

“Yes…I
would really appreciate tha… Eek…?!”

Celsia,
who was nodding in agreement, suddenly froze like stone.

Balkan,
who immediately activated his perception upon seeing her reaction,
belatedly understood why.

“What
was that light over here?”

-Click.

Voices
accompanied by the dull friction of armor.

“Yes.
It was a very clear light, and it seemed suspicious…”

“Well
done. As knights protecting the royal family, we can’t ignore unusual
phenomena. There’s already a lot of talk because we couldn’t stop the
Doomsayer’s invasion this time. Whatever it is, search thoroughly
and report back.”

“Well,
there’s nothing we could do about the portal, right? It’s not like we
have that kind of power…Anyway, understood. We’ll search that area
and return.”

From
their conversation, they were clearly royal knights on night patrol.

It
seemed they had noticed the light that appeared when the jewel
absorbed Celsia’s blessing and were approaching to investigate.

Celsia’s
face turned pale as she looked down at her body which had a vulgar
appearance as she was practically naked.

-Thud.
Thud.

The
footsteps rapidly drew closer.

-Grab.

Balkan
grabbed the stone-stiff Celsia and pulled her along.

“…Let’s
modify the plan.”

“Mo-modify…?”

“We’ll
get caught anyway if we just stay still here.”

If
we’re going to get caught whether we stay still or move…might as
well bet on the option with even slightly better odds.

Meeting
her anxious upward gaze, Balkan hesitated, moving his lips several
times before speaking.

“If
we can’t avoid it…might as well enjoy it.”

Celsia
didn’t ask what that meant.

By
coincidence, truly by coincidence, she had read an erotic novel…
with a similar scene to what he was saying now: running around naked
in this place where she was born and raised…
