After enjoying the time with Isis-san in the flower garden, we returned to Isis-sanās castle again and spent a pleasant time in the library talking about books with Isis-san.
For some reason, I often find myself visiting the library when I visit Isis-sanās castle. Isis-san talks about various books, and the leisurely time I spend with her, nodding along and asking questions, is a very happy time.
[ā¦ā¦This bookā¦ā¦ is so good at describing the sceneryā¦ā¦ that just by reading itā¦ā¦ I can picture it in my headā¦ā¦ as if Iām looking at the scenery myself.]
[Fumu fumu, this book also looks interesting. Hmmm, they all look interesting and Iām not sure which one to read first. Come to think of it, Iām changing the subject, but I donāt think Iāve seen Polaris-san today.]
[ā¦ā¦Unnnā¦ā¦ Iris saidā¦ā¦ that Polarisā¦ā¦ went to gather ingredients for dinner.]
Today I encountered Eul first, then Iris-san, then Sirius-san and Rasal-san, and having met Spica-san in the flower garden, I encountered almost all the people in Isis-sanās castle. However, the only one I hadnāt encountered was just Polaris-san, so curious, I asked about her and Isis-san said she went to gather ingredients for dinner.
Considering how she said she āgathered ingredientsā rather than ābuyingā, perhaps sheās gathering ingredients that are normally difficult to obtain.
[ā¦ā¦Because Kaito is comingā¦ā¦ everyone is excitedā¦ā¦ Even Eul said she was going to decorate the dining room.]
[You didnāt have to be so fancyā¦ā¦ However, Iām happy to be welcomed.]
Thinking that they might be preparing a feast for dinner, I felt apologetic, but also a strong feeling of happiness.
It feels nice to have a friendly relationship with Isis-sanās subordinatesā¦ā¦ or rather, her family. Even so, Eul is apparently decoratingā¦ā¦ I knew she was smart and dexterous, but I didnāt know she was already capable of such a thingā¦ā¦
While I was thinking about this, the door to the library opened and I heard a young voice.
[ā¦ā¦Excuse my intrusion. Isis-sama, are we to have dinner time as scheduled?]
[ā¦ā¦Unnnā¦ā¦ Itās alright.]
[ā¦ā¦Unnn? Eh? Arehh?]
The one who entered the room was a petite girl with silver semi-short hair whom I did not recognize, and wondering who she was, I tilted my head for a momentā¦ā¦ but the presence transmitted by my Sympathy Magicā¦ā¦ was that of Eul.
[ā¦ā¦Eh? Are youā¦ā¦ Eul?]
[Yes! Ahh, thatās right. This would be the first time Kaito-sama sees this form. My apologies for surprising you.]
[ā¦ā¦Eulā¦ā¦ can already use Humanization Magicā¦ā¦ so just like Megiddo, she can take on a human form.]
[Ahh, I seeā¦ā¦ Humanized form huh.]
Now that she mentioned it, I guess that makes sense. Eulās magic power is incredibly powerful, and from what Iāve heard from Isis-san and Iris-san, sheās an exceptional genius who quickly became proficient in Advanced Magic. In that case, it wouldnāt be surprising if she could also use Humanization Magic.
And looking at her after knowing that, I could see that her hair color is the same as the color of Eulās fur, so I could certainly see the resemblance.
[ā¦ā¦Itās justā¦ā¦ Eul doesnāt seem to like this formā¦ā¦ so she doesnāt use Humanization Magic very often.]
[Is that so?]
[H- Hmmm, rather than hateā¦ā¦ I donāt want to change my appearance with magic, I want my true appearance to be that of a Demonās like Isis-sama. However, recreating oneās own body is a fairly advanced technique, and itās still difficult for me at the moment. I havenāt fully mastered my latent magical abilities, and I also lack sufficient magic power, so I canāt use it. Therefore, because you could say that itās still not complete, I donāt really want to be in this form. Today, since Kaito-sama had come all the way to visit us, I also wanted to do something, so I was decorating in this form.]
I see, I certainly heard from Isis-san that Eul is thinking of recreating her own body and doing some kind of reincarnation.
I heard that it would be the same magic as the one Kuro used to transform Neun-sanās body into a Demonās, but itās a magic so advanced that even Lilia-san didnāt know about its particulars and was surprised when she heard about it, so even if Eul is a genius, itās probably not so easy to perform.
And so, until sheās able to do so, sheās using Humanization Magic in place of it in necessary situations.
After listening to the situation and responding with a nod, I put my hand on the petite Eulās head and lightly patted her with a smile.
[ā¦ā¦I see, you did your best to make me feel welcome. Thank you, Eul.]
[Ehehe, t- t- thatās only natural! Iāll do my best for Isis-sama and Kaito-samaās sake!!!]
[Iām glad to hear that, but donāt overdo it, okay? Even so, Iām glad Iām able to talk with Eul like this.]
[Iām also happy to talk to Kaito-sama, and being patted on my head is happiness, so Iām glad I used Humanization Magicā¦ā¦ Ahh, b- but of course, the main reason I used it is to make sure the decorations are done properly!]
Along with her petite appearance, Eul, who was happily smiling when I was patting her head, looks incredibly adorable. Seeing her respond with such joy, much like a child being praised, was quite heartwarming.
[ā¦ā¦Eul too, if youāre not busyā¦ā¦ How about we chat together?]
[Eh? Am I not disturbing you two by staying here?]
[That isnāt the case. Both Isis-san and I welcome you here.]
[Ahhā¦ā¦ T- Thenā¦ā¦ In that caseā¦ā¦ I will gratefully accept your kind words.]
Hearing what Isis-san and I said, Eul nodded her head with a really happy smile on her face.

Serious-senpai: [She hasnāt mastered her abilities, but with the enormous magic power as a Ten-Tailed Mystic Silver and talent as good as Liliaās, it certainly is no wonder that she can use Humanization Magicā¦ā¦]
???: [Incidentally, since her change in appearance is caused by Humanization Magic, it seems like she has lost her ears and tails. That was something she couldnāt accept, so
she doesnāt intend to use it very muchā¦ā¦]
Serious-senpai: [I mean, Eulpecula really feels like Isis and Kaitoās child huhā¦ā¦]
