“S-starting the lesson.”
A lecture with my life on the line began.
At the thought that the moment I made a mistake I would be placed on the execution platform, my voice trembled.
“Wait.”
At the moment I was about to bring the chalk to the board, a stop request from the Princess came.
“I-Is there… some problem…?”
All kinds of thoughts filled my head.
It seemed I had committed some mistake right from the beginning.
“Come here and teach.”
The Princess tapped the auxiliary chair beside her.
“…Yes?”
I tilted my head.
“Do not make me say it twice.”
“Yes!”
Clatter, clatter—I gathered the magic book and went to the seat beside the Princess.
“Begin.”
The Princess leaned her body toward me.
All my nerves concentrated on my left shoulder.
The moment I touched the Princess’s body, I prepared to beg for my life.
“T-Then… I will begin again. First, we will look at mana studies, which become the foundation of magic.”
I began the lesson in earnest.
So as not to offend the Princess’s mood, I explained only the concise and essential points.
“In other words, a magic circle can be said to be both a vessel that contains mana and a circuit that utilizes mana.”
The lesson progressed smoothly, more smoothly than I had worried about.
It was thanks to the Princess quietly concentrating.
If she said she was bored, I had even planned to dance and act like a clown, but fortunately that did not happen.
“I see.”
But.
Glance.
I looked beside me from the corner of my eye.
Naturally, the Princess was visible.
The problem was that the Princess’s concentration was not on my explanation, but fixed on my side profile.
Since the lesson began, she had been staring at me the entire time.
Like a predator savoring prey before eating it.
All I could do was pretend not to notice and continue explaining.
How much time passed like that?
As I carefully spent one minute that felt like one hour, the Princess suddenly stood up.
“Hiii! I-I’m sorry!”
I covered my head and curled up.
“For what?”
The Princess was looking down at me with puzzled eyes.
Fortunately, the Princess was not holding her sword.
I let out a sigh of relief.
I thought she would swing her sword because the lesson was boring.
“Ah… i-it’s nothing.”
The Princess’s eyes narrowed.
“Are you trying to avoid my question?”
My spine turned cold.
“T-That is… I thought the Princess was bored with the lesson… so… yes.”
After hearing my foolish answer, the Princess chuckled as if amused.
“So you thought I would eat you?”
Yes.
“N-No. That’s not it.”
I could not say my true thoughts.
“I’m not bored. You explain well. It’s easy to understand.”
“It’s an honor.”
“No need to call it an honor.”
The Princess answered coolly and walked to the refreshment area prepared in one corner of the room.
“Come to think of it, I didn’t prepare tea.”
Then the Princess began preparing tea herself.
“I-I will prepare it!”
I hurriedly stood up.
“Sit.”
“I am really extremely good at preparing tea. In the Magic Tower, a mage who prepares tea better than me…!”
“Sit.”
“Yes!”
I immediately sat back down.
My throat was dry.
Every single moment drained my blood.
Not even one hour had passed yet, but it felt like my lifespan had been reduced by half.
“It will suit your taste.”
The Princess brought tea.
“Oh? This is Hazel black tea?”
A deep red color like red wine.
A faint coffee fragrance mixed with sweet grape scent like it was coated in honey.
“You recognized it immediately?”
“It is my favorite black tea.”
“What a coincidence. I also like these tea leaves the most.”
The Princess elegantly drank a sip of tea.
“Drink it while it’s hot.”
“Yes. I will drink it gratefully.”
I held the teacup with both hands and drank the tea.
The hot tea seeped in, wrapping around my tongue.
A sweet aroma spread inside my nose.
When the aroma faded, a pleasant coffee scent spread faintly.
“Hm?”
Behind the coffee scent, another aroma was felt.
It felt like the scent of ripe peach.
“What is it?”
The Princess rested her chin and looked at me.
“Ah… it tastes better than what I usually drink, so I was surprised.”
This must be real Hazel black tea.
Since it is tea drunk by the Imperial Family, they must use the highest quality leaves.
It is natural that it has a more diverse aroma.
Rather than strange, it was fascinating.
“Drink more.”
The Princess brought the teapot and filled my teacup.
It was still half full.
She filled it completely.
“Thank you.”
When I drank half again—
“Drink more.”
The Princess immediately filled my cup.
“T-Thank you.”
Her kindness was burdensome.
Beyond burdensome, it felt like water torture.
Whenever the tea ran out, she brewed new tea, and whenever I barely emptied the cup, it was filled immediately, and I had to face the Princess’s gaze urging me to drink.
My bladder is going to explode…!
Holding back my urge to urinate, I continued the lesson.
I don’t know if the Princess was concentrating on the lesson,
but one thing was certain—she was smiling faintly while watching me fidget.
Endure!
Hold on!
If I wet myself here, she might cut off my testicles saying I cannot even endure urine.
“T-today’s lesson will end here.”
The two-hour lesson that felt like twenty hours ended, and I packed my things and stood up.
“See you tomorrow.”
The Princess waved her hand with a faint smile.
“Yes, I will see you tomorrow.”
I bowed politely and left the Princess’s room.
“Ugh, aaah…!”
The moment I left the room, I ran to the bathroom immediately.
Just before wetting myself, I barely managed to take off my pants and urinate.
I felt tremendous relief.
“I thought I was going to die…”
It felt like my urine smelled like black tea.
* * *
The next day.
“Ugh, ughhh……”
I tossed and turned in bed.
Today as well, I have to go to the Princess.
The Princess’s lessons happen five times a week.
Yesterday was the first day, so it ended early, but from now on, each time I go, I must stay for five hours.
“Haaa……”
I let out a deep sigh and got up from the bed.
My body felt heavy.
It felt like my shoulders were stiff.
It felt as if something was grabbing my shoulders and pulling them downward.
Just how tense was I yesterday for it to be like this?
I didn’t exercise, yet my entire body ached as if I had exercised.
“Huaaahm……”
Yawning wide enough to tear my mouth apart, I headed to the bathroom.
The first thing I do upon waking is shower.
I wash away all sleepiness with a shower.
Because I am extremely weak in the morning, if I don’t do this, it is difficult to start the day.
Before entering the shower booth, I took off my pajamas.
“Hm……?”
While unbuttoning my top, I felt a strange sensation.
Something soft touched my forearm.
It was a pleasant softness.
“What is this…… hm?”
At the moment I lowered my head to check the identity of the softness—
“T-this is……?!”
There was something that should not exist.
Breasts.
Every person has breasts.
Men have them, and women have them.
Only the shape is different.
And what was attached to me right now were a woman’s breasts, mammary breasts.
“Am I dreaming…?”
Carefully, I lifted the breast.
The heavy weight of the mass filled both my palms.
The vivid sensation told me this was not a dream.
“N-no way…!”
I hurried to the mirror.
In front of the full-body mirror stood a topless woman with a shocked face.
Large breasts swayed.
At the tips of the breasts, the areola was plumply swollen, and like my timid personality, the nipples were hidden within the areola.
Pink hair.
Emerald eyes.
If you look at just these two, it is me.
But except for these two, it is not me.
I am a man!
But the me reflected in the mirror was a woman.
A pair of greatly swollen breasts.
A pelvis that widened greatly along a thin waist.
When I turned around to check, pajamas were barely hanging on my large round buttocks.
“Is it hallucination magic?”
No.
There were no traces of any magic.
“No way……”
With trembling hands, I pulled down my pants and checked inside.
“No way!”
It was gone.
The pillar that symbolized masculinity disappeared, and in its place was a crack symbolizing femininity covered by swollen flesh.
From above.
From below.
A woman.
“How did this happen?”
I had no idea.
I recalled yesterday.
After returning from the Imperial Palace, I had a slight fever and went straight to sleep.
That was the end.
There was nothing I could guess as the cause.
Did a succubus visit while I slept?
That is impossible, because there is a protective barrier in the room.
“Huh? Really? Not a dream?”
While I blankly stared at the mirror—
Bang! Crash!
At the same time the protective barrier shattered, the door broke, and knights in armor rushed in.
“Aaaah!”
I screamed in shock.
“Esther Withbel! You are under emergency arrest!”
The knights jumped on me.
They twisted my arms behind my back and put restraints on me.
Restraints with mana-blocking circuits drawn on them so magic cannot be used.
Without being able to resist at all, I was dragged by the knights and placed into a carriage.
Becoming a woman overnight was already unfair, but being emergency arrested made it even more unfair.
Without understanding the situation, I was taken to the Imperial Palace.
