Chapter 23

It seems I have turned into a woman.

To add a bit more, it appears that my body has changed due to the influence of summoning Crossel's soul.

I haven't completely transformed into Crossel; it feels more like a mix of Crossel and me, as if their features and mine were averaged.

As evidence, I didn't have Crossel's angel wings or halo.

Still, looking at my prominently swollen chest and long hair, it seems Crossel's influence is more significant.

Moreover, my clothes had changed to women's attire.

I remember this outfit; it's similar to what Crossel usually wears, a dress with lots of white lace, something an angel would wear.

"Master Norman, I am so sorry. I have caused you such great inconvenience... I am truly no good... Not only to my Lord but to Master Norman as well. I am willing to accept any punishment. So, Master Norman, please punish this unworthy one."

Ugh, stop it, stop it, stop it!

Crossel has been muttering to herself inside me.

And it's in that same downcast tone as before, making me feel down too.

"Crossel! I don't care at all! Let's calm down and think of a way to change back together!"

I said this, trying my best to calm Crossel down.

"Master Norman... Are you really not angry?"

"Yeah, I'm not angry at all. Besides, I think the cause is on my side!"

Most likely, this happened because of my summoning ritual.

Crossel did nothing wrong.

"Master Norman! To protect me like this, how kind you are!"

Crossel said this with a voice full of gratitude.

At least Crossel has calmed down.

One problem solved.

"Master! Master! Where have you gone! Don't leave me behind somewhere!"

The next problem is Orubas, who is shouting in the room.

Orubas has been shouting like this, thinking I've disappeared.

"Orubas, if you keep being so noisy, I'll kick you out."

I said this, holding the grimoire 'Gehenna' in one hand.

"Huh? Master?"

Orubas said this hesitantly.

Can you really tell it's me just from that...?

"R-Really, it's you, Master...?"

Still seems doubtful.

"If you don't believe me, I'll kick you out."

"Master, I am so sorry! I don't want to be kicked out! I didn't expect Master to be in a woman's form and doubted, but I don't want to be kicked out! Please believe me and don't kick me out!"

Orubas' apology conveyed his genuine fear of being kicked out.

"Well, if you believe me, I won't kick you out..."

"How magnanimous Master is. I can't help but look at Master with admiration!"

Orubas' sycophantic attitude. After hearing it so many times, I'm starting to suspect it's just an act to avoid being kicked out... But, whatever.

At least one more problem is solved.

Now I can finally think about how to change back.

"Hey, big brother. How's the summoning ritual going? I came to check on you."

And yet, another new problem has arisen.

Suddenly, my sister has shown up at home.
