A witch is after her purity.

Louis’s thought process came to a halt at the shocking statement.

“No, that doesn’t make any sense… A witch in the first place?”

“How can turning a man into a woman be an ordinary magic? Only a witch can use that level of magic. The culprit has to be a witch.”

“That, that’s… but… … .”

Ferrado’s subsequent assertion.

Louis’ words became confusing.

It was because he said this that he came to the empire in search of a witch, and it was so convincing.

After a brief moment of reflection, the denial of reality came flooding back again.

“No, let’s say the witch is gay. Then, if you want to hug a woman, you should aim for a girl who is actually a woman. Why are you aiming for me by using magic?”

“She’s a witch. It’s no fun with just any woman, so she’s probably trying to turn a man into a woman and harass him. ”

“Oh my goodness, such evil… .”

Louis’ mind became hazy.

You could have just dated a normal woman like Estee. Why would you change a man into a woman and rape him?

Isn’t that the kind of wicked idea that a witch would do?

Louis, faced with terrible evil, once again denied reality.

“Why, why me of all people. I’m the eldest son of the Grand Duke’s family? Why would you bother to touch Blazer’s bloodline and harass him? ”

“Of course, it’s because you like Louis. Because Louis is cute.”

“… … Huh?”

But Ferrado did not tolerate Louis’s escapism.

“Let me ask you something. Since you haven’t been caught being a woman until now, your face is the same as before you became a woman, right?”

“Uh, yeah. The body changed a little, but the appearance is the same.”

“Neutral and cute appearance. It’s no wonder the witch fell in love with her.”

“… … .”

Fact violence to shatter denial of reality.

Louis’s cheeks flushed when he heard the words, “Louis is cute,” right in front of him.

It was because I was so angry that I felt like I was being ignored as a man.

“Ha, you’re not cute at all? I’m a guy, what’s cute about that? Don’t talk nonsense.”

‘Haa… It’s no use saying something like that while puffing out your cheeks.’

Louis, who is thudding along with the chubby cheeks that he passed on to Estee.

Ferrado sighed deeply inwardly.

It was frustrating to see Louis turning his eyes away from reality like this.

‘I understand as a man, but if I had been through something like Louis… phew. It wouldn’t have been easy to overcome.’

On the other hand, it wasn’t that Louis didn’t understand.

It must have been a bit of a complex to be neutral to begin with, but now it’s like he’s become a woman.

And in the midst of all this, you want me to admit that I’m cute?

What man can do that easily?

It was natural to deny it.

‘But Louis, you should know by now. That you are cute.’

Ferrado’s eyes turned to Louis again.

​

Black hair that sparkles like sunset in the light of a campfire. Eyes as blue as the sea. A slender body that stimulates the desire to protect.

A cute face that even a witch would fall in love with.

…with a body like that, you act so cute now?

To the witch who is targeting Louis from somewhere, it would only seem like ‘Please trample on me♡’.

So Ferrado steeled his resolve and opened his mouth.

To hit Louis with the brutal truth.

“Louis needs to realize how cute he is. He knows it. He knows he is cute.”

“So no… .”

“No. Louis is cute! Even witches fall in love at first sight!”

A slightly agitated voice hit my eardrums hard.

You, you’re so cute that even a witch would be jealous of you, so stop denying reality and be careful.

It was advice born of friendship.

…but it sounded completely different to Shepor, who was desperately straining his hearing.

-Thump, thump.

‘Oh my god… What the heck are you two? What’s going on right now!?’

Shepor, who only heard the words ‘Louis is cute’.

I looked up in surprise, and Louis’ cheeks were flushed red.

It’s like being embarrassed when someone you like tells you that you’re cute.

… In fact, it was more like I was embarrassed rather than ashamed, and my head was burning with anger.

At least that’s what it seemed to Shepor.

In her head, a novel was written in an instant.

-Ferrado, I like you. Of course I’m a guy, but…

-We’ve got a connection. I like Louis too. Then, shall we go and have our first experience together?

-First time?! I’m a guy…?

-Gender doesn’t matter. Louis is cute.

‘Three, three, my goodness… what kind of passionate love is this…!?’

A scenario written based on just three words: ‘confession’, ‘first experience’, and ‘Louis is cute’.

… It was a terrible slander brought about by Shepor’s unique sensibility, creativity, and delusion.

If Ferrado and Louis heard that, they would be horrified and say, “What a horrible thing that is, you see that?”

But Louis has no idea what kind of harm he is being done to him right now.

After gnashing his teeth for a while, he finally lowered his head.

-You look androgynous, so I’m definitely going to marry you… .

‘At that time, I thought Estee was talking nonsense again… but it was the right answer, even if it was in a different direction.’

“… Yeah. I’ll admit it. I do look a bit androgynous. To the point where some people might find it cute. ”

Louis admitted that he was cute.

Although there were conditions attached, this was encouraging for Ferrador.

There was a strangeness in the eyes that looked at Louis.

“Yes. So, you must be careful with your actions from now on. So as not to provoke the witch. ”

“Yeah, it seems like it’s still like that now.”

“No. What I mean is, stop being so cute. Sit with your knees curled up like that, tilt your head whenever you don’t understand something, puff out your cheeks when you’re angry. You don’t want to seduce a witch, do you?”

“… … What.”

Meanwhile, Louis’ expression became rotten.

… Tilting her head and puffing out her cheeks are Estee’s habitual cuteness.

You acted like Estee?

‘Somehow, people around me don’t see me as a man. Sigh.’

“Tsk. Okay. I’ll try to fix it.”

Louis promised to fix it right away.

Ferrado laughed.

“Yes. I will help you, however small it may be.”

“… How do you help with this?”

“I have confidence in my manliness. I will point out any feminine behavior Louis does.”

“… … Yeah. Ha. Haha.”

‘It’s a sin that I’m cute, it’s a sin.’

Louis laughed too.

Unlike Ferrado’s happy smile, it was a hollow smile full of self-loathing.

… However, Louis’ depression did not last long.

“If you work hard, it will definitely help you a lot when you break the spell and turn back into a man.”

“Ha. You talk as if you can definitely solve it.”

“I think it’s possible, if you have enough time.”

“… … What?”

My eyes widened in shock.

No, how can Ferrado solve the magic that only witches can use?

He looked at Ferrado, as if asking for an explanation.

What returned to her gaze was a confident smile.

“If Louis would cooperate with my research.”

“Research… ?”

“Yes. Let me explain. First… .”

To summarize Ferrado’s explanation briefly, it was as follows.

Although he cannot reveal the details, he has studied the ‘magic of transformation’ with the temple.

Of course, the results weren’t that good because of the lack of data…

If Louis joins the research, the story is different.

Louis, who survived even after being directly hit by magic, could be said to be a textbook example of the ‘magic of transformation’.

It would have been possible to reverse-analyze the magic that had already been cast on Ferrado if only time was available.

What if we could perfectly analyze magic through Louis?

It is also possible to destroy it with a reverse attack.

That is, Louis can return as a man.

“Well, it will take some time to analyze. Maybe a little over 100 days.”

“Ferrado…!!!”

Louis’ expression brightened as he found a lifeline in an unexpected place.

… The duration of the magic cast by Irene is half a year.

It had already been eight weeks since I became a woman, so it meant nothing since the magic would have worn off in another 100 days or so.

Louis, who had no idea of such circumstances, was simply happy.

But soon, regret appeared on his face.

“… Why are you doing this to me? What do you think will be left for you? ”

‘No matter how good of a guy he is, he’s doing 100 days of research for me, who’s not even Estee?’

The question is, if you do all this, what will be left?

Ferrado smiled.

“There’s no need to apologize, Louis. It’s a great opportunity for me to properly study the magic of transformation.”

“Opportunity?”

“———A chance to become a woman and confess to Estee again.”

“… … !!!?”

The answer is that if you study the magic that made Louis a woman, you too can become a woman.

Louis was astonished.

“No way, Esti likes girls?”

“Yes. If Your Highness only likes women, I will become a woman and love you. Since you already have three lovers, it wouldn’t be a big problem if there were four.”

“Crazy… You’re the crown prince? What about the throne?!”

“I’ll give it to my brother. He may not be as good as me, but he is a man who is more than qualified to lead the country.”

“What, what kind of guy is this… … .”

Ferrado, who was willing to give up both gender and the throne to stand by his beloved Esti.

Louis was truly moved by that utmost purity.

‘You would do this for Estee… .’

“… If it’s a guy like you, I can trust Esti with confidence. I’ll cooperate unconditionally. ”

“Haha. Thank you.”

Then, the two of them suddenly stood up and held hands.

-Thud.

“Please take care of me from now on. Ferrado. …Until the day you become a woman.”

“Yes. Until the day Louis returns to being a man, please take care of him.”

It was the moment when an alliance between two men was formed just for Esti.

* * *

After a while.

Louis slowly unbuttoned the front of his clothes.

In front of Ferrado, who turned his back on him as if to show consideration.

-Slurp.

‘The research is a secret even to Estee, so only at night…’

Taking off your clothes outdoors out of the blue is purely for research purposes.

It was to inject magical power into his back, the area with the largest surface area of skin, to extract data.

…it looked completely different to Shepor, who didn’t know the circumstances.

-Thump, thump, thump!

‘Three, my goodness. Are you really going to do this!? With just men, and outside at that!!?’

You were talking about your first time and now you’re even taking your clothes off.

It is inevitable that Shepor misunderstands.

Of course, it was a misunderstanding that would be resolved soon after data collection began.

That was also the reason why Shepor watched until the end.

‘Oh, no. It could be my imagination. No. It has to be my imagination. Otherwise, the princess would be too pitiful.’

In Shepor’s head, Esti had already decided to break up.

If Louis really loves men, then my favorite love will never come true.

So Shepor opened his eyes wide and observed the situation.

I was already sure of it in my heart, but I still hoped it wasn’t true.

However, Shepor’s misunderstanding was not ultimately resolved.

-Kwaaaa …

[———Grrraaarrrr!]

Because of a sudden thunderous roar heard from afar.

The sound was so loud that the vibration alone shook the branches of the nearby trees.

Shepor jumped in fright.

“Eek!!!?”

“What, what is it!!?”

“This scary aura, what is it…?”

Louis, who was almost done with taking off his clothes, and Ferrara, who was waiting quietly, were equally surprised.

Although they are in different fields, they are both strong people.

There were two of them who did not know the ominous force contained in this crying sound.

Instinct sounded the alarm.

This situation is dangerous right now.

“… Louis!! I’ll be casting defensive magic, so bring the ladies out!! It’s dangerous if the cave collapses!!”

“Okay… Shepor, stay with Ferrado!! I’ll bring Esti and Irene!”

“Yes, yes hehe!!!”

Shepor becomes obsessed and clings to Ferrado.

Louis left the two behind and ran into the cave.

But, on the messy bed.

-Ugh.

“… Where did they go?! Estee!!! Esteee!!!!!”

There was no Irene or Estee.

​

​

​

​

Meanwhile, the epicenter of the crying.

There, a dragon that had just sprung from the ground with no dirt on its scales…

[Finally, it’s time to take revenge on those humans…]

-Pfft!!!!

[Khuu …

A pink-haired woman’s kick landed her face back on the ground.

“As the saintess prophesied!! Everyone, begin the subjugation!!!”

-Yes, Crow!

-According to the saint’s will!!

-Let’s hit them like crazy!!!

After that, there was a surge in people getting the letters ‘TS’ tattooed on the back of their hands.

‘TS Brigade… How come they keep blocking our path?’

“Hehehe, the cookies are delicious.”

“Now is not the time to be eating cookies, you pig bitch!!”

On a tree, a girl and a man wearing an upside-down rosary around their neck were arguing.

finally,

-Tadadot.

“Hehehe, Cookie… .”

“This is not the time to be dreaming about cookies, you sleepy princess!!”

Irene, carrying Esti who was soundly asleep, ran through the bushes at full speed.
