In Liche’s mind, feelings of wariness and a bit of joy towards Morgan clashed in a chaotic array. A somewhat rambling question popped out of Liche’s mouth.
Oh, wait, Morgan was here first.
But Morgan answered without caring.
“I was playing with a cat.”
“A cat?”
At Liche’s words, she turned her head to the side and looked behind Morgan.
There was a cat sitting crouched where Morgan had just been.
A sleek gray cat.
The cat swayed its tail slightly and made a small sound towards Liche.
“…?”
Liche felt discomfort from the cat staring straight at her.
Hazel-colored eyes that seemed to have something to say. And gray fur, although common, was a color she had seen somewhere before.
“Liche.”
In a strangely familiar feeling that reminded her of the unfamiliar sensation of Gilbert with orange-red fur, Liche murmured towards the cat.
“…Kaysley Instructor?”
Although she said it like a whisper, it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Morgan and Pythos looked at Liche bewilderedly.
[What’s she saying? Contractor. That’s a cat.]Just as Pythos was about to say something about what kind of instructor is a cat, at that moment.
“Oh my.”
Instead of a crying sound from the cat in response to Liche’s words, a cheerful, lively female voice flowed out.
“How did you know?”
Liche, Morgan, and Pythos’ gazes turned to the cat. The cat stretched and yawned, and in about 8 seconds, it quickly transformed.
Then, starting to walk towards Liche, the gray cat gradually swelled in size and took on the shape of a person.
A woman in her late twenties with a height of around 150cm, short gray hair. Hazel eyes similar to those of a cat. She looked like a woman who resembled Gilbert, but with ordinary-colored gray fur that seemed familiar somewhere.
“Liche.”
Feeling strangely familiar as if recalling Gilbert with orange-red fur, Liche murmured to the approaching cat.
“…Kaysley Instructor?”
Although she said it like a whisper, it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Morgan and Pythos looked at Liche bewilderedly.
[What’s she saying? Contractor. That’s a cat.]Just as Pythos was about to say something about what kind of instructor is a cat, at that moment.
“Oh my.”
Instead of a crying sound fro
However, nothing happened.
Despite casting the same spell several more times and attempting to use Pythonthus’s destructive ability, the surroundings remained silent.
What could have happened?
From atop the wall, Kaysley looked towards the perplexed Liche and expressed pity, as if to say it was regrettable.
“Oh dear, can’t you use magic?”
Speaking as if she had anticipated this situation.
Meanwhile, Pythonthus, having found the cause, shouted.
[Those shackles, they’re confining the power of the stars to your bodies!]The power of the stars. In other words, it confined magical power to the body, preventing the use of magic. Liche asked Kaysley.
“Instructor, did you confine my magical power with these shackles?”
“…Impressive.”
Instead of answering Liche, Kaysley muttered something in a voice that no one else could hear. It was pure admiration.
It was as Tarije had said. The shackles she filled on herself were blocking the flow of magical power.
‘I’m secretly making them in the strictest secrecy at Martop, and it hasn’t been exposed outside yet.’
So, Morgan Dayle, who knows how to use magic, also filled the shackles. There was a bit of personal desire to see two of her preferences stuck together.
Anyway.
The shackles she filled were not something that could easily be recognized for their purpose.
‘I can see through my transformation magic. It’s chaotic enough to cause a riot to bring inspirations.’
Thinking of the elders of Martop who said, ‘Squeeze Tarije Roadwick well and bring her to Martop after the Cell Phone ends,’ Kaysley shrugged her shoulders.
A group of wizards gathered from all over the world, Martop.
Within Martop, nationality, status, and wealth were useless.
What mattered was only the ability. In other words, the strongest one was the best.
‘It’s a shame. I wish I could have stuck together properly during the qualification review.’
If only there hadn’t been a word from the organizers not to kill applicants.
Tarije Roadwick, renowned as a genius, how strong is she? She was eager to find out, but she was still in the preliminaries.
Named the heir of Martop. It’s impossible to catch her in just a week.
“Well then, you two. It would be nice to have an enjoyable time.”
“Wait a minute, Instructor! You have to release the shackles!”
Liche shouted desperately at her seeming attempt to leave, but Kaysley leaped over the wall to the opposite side and disappeared from Liche’s sight.
‘What should I do.’
[Shall I chase after her?]Just as Pythonthus was about to say that he would catch her this time, Morgan raised his arm.
“Tarije. These shackles are getting longer, aren’t they?”
Morgan, standing behind Liche, spoke. Then, Liche’s body floated in the air for a moment and was embraced by Morgan’s sturdy arms. The sudden warm scent stimulated Liche’s sense of smell.
Surprised by the sudden event, Liche stiffened in Morgan’s arms. Morgan casually asked.
“Instructor, can I catch her?”
“Uh, yes.”
Liche nodded with a bewildered expression. With Liche in his arms, Morgan ran towards the direction where Kaysley disappeared.
A few hours later.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
