Chapter 668: Daily Life
I left Silvia's room and headed straight for the dining hall.
To be honest, I wasn't in the mood to eat at all, but what could I do?
No matter how rushed I was, I couldn't make Diana skip a meal, could I?
"Oh, you're here... W-What's wrong?"
Having successfully finished whatever she was working on, Diana had arrived at the dining hall before me.
She was about to greet me with a confident smile, but for some reason, she looked flustered as she studied my face.
"What do you mean?"
Not understanding what she was talking about, I tilted my head and asked. Diana's face turned beet red as she covered her chest with both hands, leaning back slightly in a guarded stance.
"I-It's just... Y-You're not planning to suddenly drag me to a room or anything, are you?"
It was only after she looked up at me and said that that I realized what she meant.
It seemed my still-aroused state from my time with Silvia—which hadn't been fully satisfying due to time constraints—was obvious.
Diana, in particular, had experience being dragged off by me in this state before, so she was probably being extra cautious.
Though, it wasn't like I was so worked up I'd lost my senses like that time.
Back then, I'd only gotten to grope Hanna's body without any release, so I had dragged Diana to a room the moment I got back. But this time, while it wasn't enough, I had at least gotten off.
Still, since Diana was having such a nice misunderstanding, I couldn't just let it go to waste!
She had a pretty cute reaction the last time I dragged her away, after all!
Well, I suppose stimulating her exhibitionism had the biggest effect back then.
"Going. Now. To room. Immediately."
I spoke like a robot, with choppy, disconnected words, as if my reason had been completely overwhelmed by lust.
"Don't be ridiculous."
But just then, a sharp pinching attack came at my side from behind.
I didn't even have to look back to know whose hand was pinching my side.
"Ugh. How could this be! It was a perfect performance!"
I cried out, collapsing to the floor as if crumbling from the stinging pain in my side.
But Sara just looked down at me coolly and uttered even colder words.
"Perfect? I've been meaning to tell you, but Guwon, you're a terrible actor."
…What did you say?
"I-It's not something to be that shocked about, is it? It's not like it's a big deal if you're a bad actor…"
My shocked expression must have had quite an impact, because Sara immediately tried to smooth things over.
But her half-hearted comfort didn't work on me.
I remained collapsed on the floor, motionless, just staring up at her blankly.
"I said I'm sorry. Fine! You're a great actor! Okay?!"
As I continued to give her the silent treatment, Sara seemed to get a little anxious. She neatly brought her legs together and squatted down, looking me straight in the eye as she apologized.
Of course, I had no intention of forgiving her that easily. How dare she mock my acting skills.
Desperately resisting the urge to let my eyes wander to Sara's beautiful legs, I muttered in a low voice.
"…I can't forgive you."
"W-What did you say?"
"Right here, right now, change into a maid outfit and…"
"You wish! I'm never! Ever! Doing that again for the rest of my life!"
And only then, her face flushing bright red, did Sara realize that my act was also just a joke as she shot back up to her feet.
Hah. How's that? This is the acting skill you so casually dismissed.
"Hey! 'Rest of my life' is a bit much, don't you think?"
"Not at all! You pervert!"
Sara, who had been calm up until she entered the dining hall and pinched my side, was now reminded of last night's events. With a pouting, crimson face, she refused to even meet my eyes.
"You know what they say about drunken confessions, you actually like…"
I can't let myself be banned from maid play for the rest of my life!
Well, I figured if I asked her again later, she'd probably agree to it while pretending to be reluctant.
Just as I was thinking that and about to continue, someone interrupted our argument.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
It was Diana, who had been left out of the conversation at some point.
Seeing her slightly sulky expression, I quickly repeated what I had said earlier.
"Ah, right. Diana. Sorry for the interruption. Let's try that again. Going. To room. Immediately."
"I think not!"
In the end, after getting a sharp flick on the forehead from Diana, we all sat down at the table to eat.
*
"Diana. Going. To room. Immediately."
The moment we finished our meal, I walked over to Diana and helped her to her feet.
"That again?"
Hey. Don't look so fed up.
I'm being semi-serious here, you know? I'm really in a bit of a hurry.
I'm even circulating mana to keep my thing down.
"Hmph. It can't be helped. Then we shall take our leave."
Even if I pestered her now, it would take time for Diana to wash up and get ready.
That's why I had rushed her right after the meal, but surprisingly, it seemed Diana was planning to head straight to a room with me.
Come to think of it, her hair seemed a little damp when I first walked into the dining hall…
And whatever she was doing in her workshop seemed related to tonight, so maybe she had prepared in advance.
"How about we go to my room today?"
As if to support my guess, Diana made the suggestion.
What on earth did she prepare that she wants to go to her room?
Though I was curious, I agreed to spend the night in Diana's room as she suggested.
And the moment I entered the room, I realized what it was that Diana had prepared.
How could I not notice? It was glowing so brightly in the corner of the room.
What the hell is that? A magic stone? No, not just one or two, but dozens. Maybe even hundreds of magic stones were packed tightly inside some kind of device, emitting a brilliant light.
"Diana, what is that?"
"Heehee. Don't you worry about it."
In response to my question, Diana gave an uncharacteristically triumphant grin and shrugged.
Yeah, right. How can I not worry about it? It's bothering me like crazy.
That's what you were preparing in your workshop, wasn't it?
"By the way, my dear. I have a gift for you."
But ignoring my question, Diana picked up a bracelet-like object from the table and handed it to me.
"Oh. Thanks."
I took the item and immediately put it into my inventory.
"Wh-Why did you put it away immediately?!"
"Huh? Well, because…"
Anyone could see it was incredibly suspicious.
"Don't do that. It's a gift from me, isn't it? Hmm? Come on, take it out and try it on. Here, here!"
As if reading my expression, Diana grew restless, trying her best to get the bracelet onto my arm.
See? She's definitely up to something.
"No, no. It's a precious gift. Rather than putting it on without much thought in this excited state right before sex, I'll put it on later when I'm alone and can fully appreciate the sentiment."
"Ughhh…!"
When I nonchalantly said that and refused to take the bracelet out of my inventory, Diana stomped her feet in frustration, annoyed that things weren't going her way.
She really is cute.
She's so smart, if she just calmed down a little, she could easily wrap someone like me around her finger.
Well, I guess that's part of her charm.
"Are you saying you won't listen to your big sister?!"
When her verbal persuasion showed no signs of working, Diana shot me a slightly pouting glare and suddenly began to transform into her adult form.
Hey. Don't just transform without taking your clothes off. They're too small and tight, and more importantly, with your underwear being so small, various things are about to burst out… My eyes are drawn there automatically.
"My dear. Would you be willing to grant this big sister's request?"
Realizing my gaze was fixed on her chest, Diana pushed her breasts together over her already tight clothes and whispered in a voice even more relaxed than before.
Hey. Don't try to act in a way that doesn't suit you.
Well, it's a bit of a stretch to say it doesn't suit her when she looks so perfect, but it's obvious you're not used to acting like this. It's awkward.
"I guess I have no choice."
Even as I thought that, I decided to try on the bracelet as Diana asked.
No, it's not like I was swayed by Big Sister Version Diana's sex appeal or anything.
It just felt like if I didn't, we'd be stuck here and never make it to the bed.
And at this point, I was getting curious about what on earth Diana had done.
"Yes! Yes! A wise choice!"
Watching Diana nod with a pleased expression, still in her polymorphed state, I took the bracelet from my inventory and put it on my wrist.
The moment I did, the world seemed to spin, and a wave of light dizziness washed over me.
This feeling… I've felt it once before… Yes, it was definitely…
Instantly grasping the situation, I first pulled down my drooping shirt even further to completely expose one shoulder and then plopped down on the floor.
"S-So this was… your preference all along, big sister…?"
With my pants having slipped all the way off and my shirt exposing a shoulder, combined with a moist gaze and a slumped posture, it created a very dangerous picture for any outsider to see.
Especially since Diana was in her more mature form, it looked even more so.
"N-No! It's not like that!"
She must not have expected me to react this way, because Diana waved her hands furiously in denial.
Honestly, she's the one who did this, and now she's the one panicking.
"So, what's the purpose of suddenly putting this on me?"
Deciding that was enough joking around, I sat up properly and examined my body as I asked.
Right. Just like that time at the cafe when Diana cast a spell on me, I was now in a slightly younger form.
Apparently, this bracelet was enchanted with Polymorph magic.
And that device in the corner of the room filled with magic stones was likely supplying power to the bracelet. Like a wireless charger.
It was a spell that consumed so much mana that even Diana couldn't use it for long, so this was her way of extending its duration.
I mean, the idea is brilliant.
But did you really mobilize all the leaders of the Mage Association just to make something so useless?
What on earth are you trying to do?
I could see Leia getting a little worked up over this, but I doubt you'd actually want to do it with me in this state.
"Uhm. W-Well, that is… I just thought we could change things up a bit…"
But contrary to my expectations, it seemed Diana really did intend to have a go with me in this form.
She seemed to be aware of how absurd her own words were, though, as she couldn't even meet my eyes properly.
Well, it's not like I can't do it in this form… I mean, even if I'm a little smaller, I'm still equipped with a magnificent fellow down there.
"Just to change things up, you say."
"I-Is it not okay once in a while! You make plenty of strange requests yourself!"
As I muttered coolly, Diana's face flushed, and she now retorted with a serious expression.
"Besides, it's good for you too, isn't it! You just stay still. This big sister will show you the full extent of an adult's charm…"
But Diana was so excited that she ended up blurting out her true feelings.
Through those words, I was able to fully grasp her real intentions.
And as a bonus, I also understood why her attitude towards me had been a little strange lately.
"I see. So that's what this was about."
"W-What was about?"
"Diana."
"Yes?"
"Sit down over there. We need to talk."
"W-What? What are you suddenly saying! We were about to have a fun night! Aren't you in a hurry, too! Come on, let's go to the bed and let this big sister…"
She must have never imagined I would react this way, because Diana grew restless and tried to lure me to bed, but I didn't fall for her seduction.
"Sit."
"Hiiiing…"
When I spoke in a firm tone, Diana let out a cute whimper that didn't suit her mature, polymorphed appearance and sat on the floor.
And so, a strange scene was set: me, in my younger form, about to lecture Diana in her big sister form.
