Stella, a court magician and the Academy’s new professor.

She’s been researching some magic for the past month.

At the request of his previous disciple, Esti, the ‘magic of transformation’.

It didn’t take long to realize that this magic was unusual.

-What’s the Inquisitor doing so early in the morning?

-Stella, the court sorceress. I heard you’ve been asking around about Saihan magic recently. Is that right?

-Ha. Can’t you even investigate?

-Unless you’re a witch.

‘… I knew these guys were picky, but they’re doing this to me too?’

On the third day of the investigation, the main church tried to bite Stella.

By dispatching an Inquisitor, minus the Early Morning Star, to her quarters in the early morning.

…you are messing with her, who is under the protection of the royal family as a court magician?

I was just researching magic?

It was obviously something strange.

No matter how serious the religious order is about witch-hunting, it goes against reason to attack them like this without thinking.

My curiosity was piqued.

‘Hoo. There’s something.’

-Isn’t this something the Third Princess personally ordered me to do?

-… …!!!? No, there’s no way the princess would be curious about such a strange magic.

-You said you became curious after seeing it in a fairy tale book.

-oh.

-So does the church suspect the Third Princess of being a witch? Just because she developed a passion for learning after reading fairy tales?

-Oh, no. That, that… .

Stella attacked the main church in return.

This is something our disciple asked us to do?

You little brat, are you calling our disciple a witch?

The sword of the main religion, the heretic inquisitor could not help but be flustered.

It was possible to summon the court wizard and investigate before saying ‘no’…

Touching the Third Princess was tantamount to declaring war with the Avruen Empire.

It was a well-known fact that the youngest daughter of the royal family was a terrible lover.

Eventually, he gave up.

-Ahem. Shouldn’t you have said so? It was the princess’s will.

-Who came in at dawn?

-… … .

-Okay, now that it’s come to this, please cooperate. Why is the main church reacting so sensitively? If they know, they will either stop the investigation or tell the princess.

-I can’t say… .

-Should I report to His Majesty? The church suspects the princess of being a witch?

But Stella didn’t stop when she smelled something suspicious.

To the point of threatening people by mentioning the emperor.

…even she thought it was a far-fetched threat.

A normal person would shake their head in disbelief.

Does that make sense? You should do it in moderation, whether you are escorting someone or not.

But the Inquisitor did not take her threats lightly.

-Ahem. That’s a bit of a leap of logic. Just because I suspected you… I doubt His Majesty would take such far-fetched logic seriously.

-Don’t you know that His Majesty loves his youngest daughter?

-… … Tsk.

Because they both knew.

That the third princess was more precious to the emperor than his own life.

If he were the emperor, he would definitely shout, “How dare you brand our youngest daughter a witch?! This is war!!” despite this far-fetched logic.

The emperor is seriously unstable.

That’s why the Inquisitor lowered his head.

The original answer was to avoid mad dogs.

-I will tell the bishop.

-It should have been like that a long time ago.

* * *

From that day on, Stella visited the main temple almost every day.

To prove that she is not a witch, and at the same time to tattoo a certain oath on her body.

The content of the oath is not to reveal to anyone what you learn at the temple.

Furthermore, in the future, we will cooperate with the temple as much as possible.

Although she didn’t know why she was being asked to do this, Stella followed along obediently.

There is also the excuse that it is a request from a disciple…

Because I was curious more than anything.

The reason why the Catholic Church is so wary of the magic of transformation.

I found out the reason after I gained access to the Daesinjeon archives.

‘This is the destruction that the saint prophesied. Indeed, I cannot go around saying nothing but nonsense.’

A divine agent who prophesied the dangers of the world, whose lineage ended 100 years ago. A saint who is loved by all.

Didn’t that saint leave behind a prophecy?

A sinister prophecy that the world will be destroyed by a witch.

… Somehow, they were so blindly obsessed with witch-hunting. Is that why?

It also made sense that she had to swear an oath to keep it a secret.

If this fact were to become known to the people, uncontrollable chaos would ensue.

‘Still, to this extent, I guess these guys tried hard.’

Stella also took in the results of the temple’s efforts over the past 100 years.

An analysis of all the magic used by the witch in the prophecy.

Even she, a high-ranking magician, was astonished by the detailed analysis enclosed.

There was, of course, also analysis of the magic of transformation.

-King Stella. As promised, I ask for your cooperation. For the sake of humanity.

-Cross-validation? Gladly.

After seeing that, she immediately expressed her intention to cooperate with the church.

Since it has come to this, the temple wants to ask her, the great magician, to cross-check it.

Stella was fascinated the moment she saw the magic formula that the temple had been researching for 100 years.

The interests were perfectly aligned.

However, there was something the temple overlooked.

Stella…

I wasn’t particularly interested in the destruction of the world or anything like that.

Her only concern is one thing.

A disciple whom I have always loved, a disciple whom I would not mind putting in my eyes.

Because it was only Estee.

‘Surely, disciple… is this your purpose?’

“Disciple. Is it true that you were curious about the magic because you saw it in a fairy tale book?”

After a brief flashback, her consciousness returned to the present.

Esty, holding the cookies in both hands like a squirrel, munching on them, then suddenly stopped and froze.

Anyone who looked at it could see that it hit the nail on the head.

The cheeks, puffed up with cookies, flopped up and down.

‘Master, are you doubting me right now!!?’

-Gulp, gulp.

“That, that… .”

Estee quickly chose her words to make an excuse.

But, I just couldn’t open my mouth.

I was eating cookies so much that I almost burst, but when I opened my mouth, my throat got blocked.

‘My throat is blocked…!!!’

“Uh, uh… .”

“Ah, disciple. Here’s some milk!”

Stella, who had been watching, hurriedly brought milk.

Esti gulped as she hastily accepted the cup.

Before long, a cute milk mustache appeared in the world, accompanied by a sweet-smelling breath.

“… Phew! Oh, thank you, Master. ”

“Huh, what is it?”

‘Disciple, you are so cute…!!’

A harmless sight that can instantly change the serious atmosphere.

Stella’s expression softened again.

“Anyway, disciple. Was the reason you were curious about that magic… for Prince Louis?”

“… Huh?!!!!!”

As the tension eased, Stella lifted Esti up and sat her down between her knees.

A small body that sparkles despite being twenty years old.

and…

Her own upper body supporting her without any cushioning.

A look of sympathy appeared in Stella’s eyes.

‘Yes, I understand a little bit, disciple. How sad it is to have an unwomanly body.’

In her opinion, the truth was this.

After she turned 10, Esti despaired over her young body and started to act like a boy.

But even though her self-esteem as a woman was broken, her love for Louis was not broken.

At the time when Louis’ execution was being openly discussed, he protested to the point of rolling on the floor and throwing a tantrum. They remained close friends after that.

It was something anyone could have guessed.

That she still loves him after enduring such humiliation.

Would a third princess like that give up on love just because her body hasn’t grown in 10 years?

Stella could say with certainty: no.

My disciple is not a tragic heroine, but a protagonist who takes charge of her own destiny.

Just like her, who rose to the position of Grand Mage in a female body.

‘Surely, with this magic, both I and my disciple can grow…!!’

The magic of transformation. That’s probably why I asked you to investigate it.

If you turn a person into a frog, is it really that hard to just transform their body into something mature?

It was actually possible.

As the prophecy said, changing the species was impossible for anyone but a witch…

It seemed possible for her to grow a little taller and make her chest bigger.

That’s why she diligently memorized it, pretending to verify the temple’s research.

To help Esti grow a little bit and make her dream come true.

To make her small breasts bigger, which was her complex.

For safety, the experiment will have to be repeated several times, but it will take time because she has to do the research alone due to her oath.

It was quite possible.

Stella smiled brightly.

‘I can’t tell you in detail because of the oath, but… I’m writing it secretly for my disciple.’

“Leave it to me. I can grant the princess’s wish.”

“Huh!!!?”

‘How did you know!?’

Of course, this is Stella’s mistake.

It was a bolt from the blue for Estee.

No, it turns out that the reason I asked you to investigate was for Louis’ sake.

Did Louis get caught turning into a woman through the magic of transformation?

I asked cautiously.

‘Louis, did you notice that he’s become a woman?’

“… Did you notice a lot of tea?”

‘Are you talking about what Prince Louis likes? Hehe. I think everyone except you and Prince Louis would know.’

“You are my teacher. How could I not know?”

“Oops.”

‘Well, if you look from the podium, you can see even Louis sitting quietly…!!!’

Since it was impossible to openly say that Louis had become a woman, the subject was naturally omitted.

Stella also spoke back to the girl in love, out of consideration.

As a result, a misunderstanding blossomed between the two.

“Teacher. You’ll keep this a secret, right…?”

‘If it gets out that Louis has become a woman…!!!’

“Of course, disciple♡”

‘It’s so cute that you think your heart isn’t being heard♡’

Estee mistakenly thought Stella had noticed that Louis had turned into a woman.

Stella was mistaken in thinking that Esti wanted to use the ‘magic of transformation’ to grow up.

Under the mistaken impression, Esti turned around and hugged Stella.

-Hug.

“You are my teacher♡ After all, there is no one else but you!!!”

“Yes, disciple♡ I can’t tell you the detailed method, but please trust me and leave it to me. I will start researching from now on.”

“Teacher, you are the best!!!”

A smile bloomed between the two.

‘I told you that Master is the best, right? Louis, just wait a minute! Master is going to turn you into a man again!!’

‘Right now, I can only hug you with my weak chest, but if the research is successful… Hehe. Should I grow you a little taller than the Second Princess?’

They were so similar in every way, even in their sloppiness, that anyone could tell they were priests and disciples.

* * *

That night, in the bathroom, I tickled Louis’ bare skin and asked.

-Question question question question.

“Louis~ Do you know that you’re acting like a girl these days? Even your moans are like a girl. No matter where I look at you, you look like a heavenly woman. ”

‘Try not to get caught, you punk! The teacher caught you!!’

“Ugh…!!!? Estee, us, friends… … please calm down… … ♡”

He was so surprised that he stuttered a lot.
