Chapter 27

Transformation magic is not particularly difficult magic.

However, the perfection of transformation magic is greatly influenced by the caster’s detailed observation and intuition.

All magicians who received magical education can use transformation magic, but only highly skilled magicians can transform into perfect human or animal forms.

From that perspective.

Lu was a genius.

“There’s no other way to express it but beautiful. Such perfect magic.”

The Head Maid, impressed by his outstanding magical ability, couldn’t take her hands off my face.

With my chin held captive, I glanced at the mirror placed beside me.

‘Not bad.’

As the Head Maid said, the shell of the Weatherwax Baroness overlaid on my body was perfect.

Distinctly aristocratic bright blonde hair and blue eyes. Vibrant skin and height far exceeding average. Slightly dimpled cheeks and neat teeth.

This level of attention to detail was practically basic.

The delicately raised hands were clean without a single callus, the shoulders and chest were proportionally broad, and the relatively slim waist was sturdy.

Ears slightly small for the height, befitting Weatherwax bloodline. Bold yet gentle eyes with a faint double eyelid remaining only on one side.

Truly, it was a perfect combination of the male body I desired and the Weatherwax Baroness characteristics the Head Maid wanted.

I contemplate Lu again today.

‘What exactly can’t he do?’

The Head Maid’s gaze, having stepped back one step, gradually becomes moist.

“Anyone would find it splendid. You’re perfectly suited to be the head of the Weatherwax Family.”

At least I look more suitable than some egg.

“Still, the inside is a maid. A maid with reduced wages.”

“Yes, I know. But Miss Daisy, you seem quite accustomed to it? Usually people feel awkward in various ways when their gender is reversed.”

“Well, I’m bold. Men like me aren’t common in the world, right?”

The Head Maid looked at me with a somewhat strange expression before giving an awkward smile.

“Still, don’t be too bold at the Nobility Council. Haah! I have mountains of worries. Whether Miss Daisy can perform well, whether you’ll cause problems, especially whether you’ll make verbal mistakes…”

I patted the worry-filled Head Maid’s shoulder and showed a trustworthy smile.

The smiling face reflected in the mirror looks quite splendid. Not as much as my younger sibling, but it was perfect appearance for making a good first impression.

“You worry too much. Just give up. It’s already spilled water. If problems arise, Lu will handle it as always.”

Saying so, I pressed down the slightly protruding bangs.

This body’s hair wasn’t severely curly, yet several strands kept falling onto my forehead, which was annoying.

“Hmm.”

I swept the bangs back more carefully and turned to the Head Maid.

“But wouldn’t shorter hair be better? I find long bangs bothersome.”

The Head Maid, who had been staring at me blankly, subtly averted her gaze and answered “Is that so?”

I brought my face close to such Head Maid and demanded.

“Or just pluck them out. These are really getting in the way.”

The Head Maid’s eyes widened. She pushed me away with a bright red face.

“Th-that’s. Please speak from a bit further away.”

…Aha, look at this?

“Stop.”

Thwack.

I felt a light impact on the top of my head.

When I reflexively turned around, features so beautiful they were blinding appeared.

A face like white jade without a speck of dust, large eyes and a cute nose, lips red like cherries… she was a woman who embodied all those common descriptions in a living human.

Every time she blinked her fan-like fluttering eyelashes, hazy golden pupils were revealed. Though Lu had transformed into a perfect woman from head to toe, only his eyes remained as they originally were.

‘Ugh.’

Knowing his true nature, just meeting his gaze gave me the illusion of facing a tall man with a shameless face. In reality, such an illusion was the truth that saw through the fake.

Morian Sereniye.

The identity Lu personally appropriated as the Weatherwax Baroness’s wife was none other than the third daughter of the Sereniye County of the North Continental Union.

The expression the Head Maid made when she first heard that story was shock itself.

“She’s a noble lady of a nation. How can we appropriate such a person’s identity? I have no intention of taking dangerous paths for the family’s dignity. An ordinary woman of non-noble status would be sufficient.”

“There’s no problem using this identity, so don’t worry unnecessarily, Head Maid.”

“No problem? No problem, you say? Miss Daisy! Do you also think there would be no problem?”

How did I react at that time?

Naturally, I pretended not to hear and diligently focused on dishwashing. I had no intention of getting my shrimp back broken in a whale fight.

In any case, Lu was the victor of that argument.

His final method of persuading the Head Maid was simple. He made an oath with the condition that he would ‘absolutely never take actions that harm the Weatherwax Family.’

Afterward, he answered the Head Maid’s repeated questions with oaths as well. Thus, a total of four oaths were added to the inside of Lu’s arms.

‘There was a reason why so many traces of oaths were engraved all over his body.’

It seems he’s been settling things with oaths whenever he found persuasion bothersome.

It was quite a thought process befitting him. It was also conduct possible because he was such a person. In any case, Lu had ability if not trust.

Lu, who had been intently staring at my face, warned as if giving advice.

“For the time being, you’re my woman. Don’t go around seducing this woman and that woman, behave modestly.”

It was absurd nonsense from early morning.

What is he suddenly saying? I don’t know where or how to start objecting.

“Not your woman, but your man.”

When I corrected the wrong expression, Lu covered his mouth and smiled detestably. It was a terrifyingly lovely smile.

“Feel carefully, honey. Isn’t it empty down there?”

“…”

“You’re currently in a state that’s neither woman nor man. What does that mean? You can seduce both women and men. Be twice as careful. Got it?”

At his confident retort, I faced confusion once again.

‘I wondered why it felt strangely lacking something.’

Of course, either way doesn’t matter to me.

Whether seducing women or seducing men, hearing it along with carelessly spouted words made me feel unfairly wronged.

“Why specifically… No, can’t you just make it a normal man’s body without fussing over this and that?”

Lu, smiling brightly, clung to my arm and answered.

“Mmm. But Morian had no choice. I don’t want to link arms with a man, you know?”

Ugh.

My mood is unpleasant. I feel sick. I’m already starting to regret eagerly stepping forward to attend the Nobility Council.

To cause such uncomfortable symptoms with such a pretty face. If making people’s insides turn is an ability, then it’s an ability.

“Oh my, where do you keep looking? Our honey is a beast despite appearances, you know?”

I didn’t want to answer. Playing along with that game would only make Lu happy.

Instead, I gave the Head Maid a warning with very serious eyes.

“The Nobility Council itself could become a great crisis for the Weatherwax Family. Is it okay for such a woman to become the Weatherwax Baroness’s wife?”

Say it’s not okay. Say you can’t allow it unless she’s a modest Weatherwax wife.

Contrary to my hopes, the Head Maid gave an unexpected answer.

“Somehow… you look more natural in male form, Miss Daisy. You feel like a different person.”

“That’s not what I asked about.”

“If you can converse so properly, why did you act like a lacking person all this time?”

I responded with my specialty of pretending not to hear.

Only then did the Head Maid abandon the slightly awkward expression and return to her originally comfortable face, immediately speaking with serious eyes.

“This might be unnecessary worry, but…”

“What is it?”

“Miss Daisy, no affairs. It gets complicated if illegitimate children are born.”

“Aha. Head Maid, are you also not in your right mind like my wife?”

The Head Maid burst into hearty laughter for the first time in a while.

“Ah, it’s a joke. Just kidding, of course. What complaints could I possibly make to you two? I only hope you return safely without major problems. Please take good care of our Weatherwax Family.”

With the Head Maid’s request as the last words, we left the estate.

In front of the gate, two luxurious four-horse carriages were parked.

I have no idea where she got those carriages from. One of them was even a cargo wagon. Filled with Morian’s colorful clothing…

The time was early morning. Fortunately, there were few people coming and going on the street.

I stood in front of the carriage door and extended my hand toward Lu.

“Shall we go, my lady?”

“My lady? Call me your beloved Morian. We’re the most passionate newlyweds in the world, after all.”

Lu approached with a bright smile and took my hand.

A red wedding ring stood out between her white fingers. Lu’s was an ordinary fake wedding ring, but mine was a bit special.

It was a magical artifact that would break the transformation magic and return me to my original form the moment it was shattered.

I really hoped I wouldn’t have to use that function.

“This is going to be a very enjoyable trip. Don’t you think so, darling?”

Within that sweet eye-smile, a clear mockery warned me.

During the week when the Nobility Council would be held.

You’re definitely going to suffer like hell.
