Chapter 429: Beasts Human Form
Chapter 429: Beast"s Human Form
Because Elysia promised her friends, she and her group returned to the Fairy Continent. And then, they proceeded to the Elven Continent.
Various kinds of natural charm and the beauty of wonder were enshrined in Elysia"s Memoire. Elena proposed buying many different types of souvenirs as well, which they did afterwards.
"Phew... It"s quite tiring, but feels great. Did you all have fun today?" Elena wiped her non-existent sweat.
"Ah, en, that was fun. Time flies and night has come. You really are relentless when it comes to shopping, especially when it comes to clothes." Elysia replied with a tender smile. Then, she went back to look at the photos in her Memoire.
"Shall we go back to the Human Continent first? However, it must be nearly midnight there because of the time difference." Elena glanced at Elysia"s Memoire with a curious gaze. She saw that there were many photos of her and Elysia there, the others too.
"En, but, we should first spend the night somewhere suitable. We will return to the Human Continent when morning comes." Elysia nodded in agreement.
"Ah, look, it"s me. My pose is pretty cool. But, Elysia, please save these pictures just for you. I don"t want all these pictures of us to fall into someone else"s hands. Okay?" Nell reminded worriedly. She was content to look through the pictures of today"s moment.
"Mm, I don"t want pictures of us to spread either." Elysia turned off her Memoire and put it into her s.p.a.ce Storage, but in the disguise of her s.p.a.ce Bag. The safety of the photos was guaranteed now.
"I am glad to hear it." After saying that, Nell patted her magic carpet to fly towards the northwest. Their destination was the Blessings Spot because it was a pretty good place to stay.
"Eh? We"re back in this mountain again? Are we going to spend the night here?" Rhea looked at her little sister in confusion. She did not expect that they would return to the Beastkin Continent.
"Yup! We"re going to the Human Continent tomorrow morning, right? Then, we"ll be camping in that cave after soaking in the hot springs!" Nell raised her hands happily. But, she also needed to hear other opinions. "That"s a good idea, right?"
"That"s fine. Camping, is it? Yuuki"s portable house doesn"t fit all of us either." Elena didn"t want to say much.
"I"m sorry, I"m sorry, I will build a bigger portable house as soon as possible." Yuuki felt guilty and unreliable. She bowed to apologize repeatedly.
"It"s okay, Yuuki. You"re not doing anything wrong. We just need to camp in our sleeping bags like yesterday." Elysia held Yuuki"s shoulder so that the latter would not continue to apologize.
"Uhm." Yuuki raised her head and nodded.
"The, it"s decided? n.o.body objected, right?" Nell asked again, but she had already asked her magic carpet to land.
Since it wasn"t such a bad idea, no one had any objections either. Therefore, all of them entered the cave and went straight to the hot springs. The hot spring of their choice was the one at the highest level.
"Fwaah... This is life. I feel rejuvenated and pampered by the warmth and care." Yuuki leaned against the stone edge of the hot spring. A blissful expression was plastered on her face to show how much she enjoyed it.
"Hum, finally this shameless fox girl has a bit of decency." Elena threw a small towel over her head and sat in the hot spring.
"That"s because I thought it was just me... I also know manners and norms, you know?" Yuuki pursed her lips and defended herself.
"So you are a shameless fox girl alone? That"s quite worrying." Elena shook her head and heaved a subtle sigh.
"A, uh... No, I"m a good fox girl." Yuuki glanced at Elysia and tried to correct the wrong perception. She didn"t want to be considered a bad girl and lost the golden opportunity that Elysia had promised her.
"Nee, aren"t you curious about how a Saint-level Beast transforms into a human form, Ane?" Elysia raised the topic of conversation so that Elena would not continue to tease the pitiful Yuuki.
"Oh, that"s right! You remind me of that, Ely. Let"s compare the difference between a Saint-level Beast and a Saint-level Beastkin." Elena dropped her fist into her open palm. She glanced at the brown cat couple, then at Yuuki. "We have suitable subjects for that here, ufufu~"
"Wha- What do you want me to do?" Yuuki moved away from Elena while covering her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with both hands. She felt unsafe to see that kind of smirk.
"No, no, I"m not asking you to do anything weird. You just need to transform into your beast form, then return to your human form. Ely and I have already talked about this and we want to see that." Elena raised her index finger and wiggled it left and right.
After that, she turned to the cat"s group for a request. "I"m aware that the Beast Race hates their human form even though they can transform into that form. But, Leila, can you do it? I mean, can you transform into your human form for a while, then return to your beast form?"
Leila went to the edge, then scratched her cheek. She could only answer with the truth. "Uhm, uhh... I have no confidence. I"ve never tried it, but my husband once transformed into his human form."
"Oow, then... Theo, can you transform into your human form now? Just a moment, pretty please, hum, hum~" Elena put her hands together and hummed.
"Ugh, fine..." Theo couldn"t refuse at all because the G.o.ddess of Light herself had asked. He came out of the hot spring and shook off the water from his body. "Do I just have to do it here and now? It"s only for a moment, right?"
"Yup, you can do that now." Elena took a spare towel on edge and nodded.
Theo just sighed and prepared himself, physically and mentally. Then, he channeled his magic energy throughout his body and immediately tried to transform.
Everyone"s attention was drawn to that dark brown cat. After that, Theo was instantly enveloped by the bright purple light, and his body also glowed.
Slowly but surely, the little cat grew bigger and formed the shadow of a two-meter tall human. It only lasted ten seconds, and the bright purple light dimmed slowly.
"Ooh..." Elena mumbled to see Theo"s form, although the purple light had not wholly dissipated from him.
At that moment, Elysia applied a brief divine light for censorship for the good of family-friendly. Then, she s.n.a.t.c.hed the towel from Elena"s hands and used telekinesis-like magic to wrap Theo"s lower half with it.
"Phew... Everything is fine now." Elysia wiped her sweat and felt relieved.
"That"s a quick move, Ely." Elena covered her mouth in a light giggle.
Elysia just rolled her eyes and looked at Theo. His current form was still like a large dark brown tiger but stood on two st.u.r.dy legs and had two muscular arms. His head was still like a tiger too. So, it was really a human-like tiger or maybe, tiger man!
"A tiger man? A strong-looking form. Are all Beast Race"s human form like you, Theo?" Elysia asked to confirm.
"Yeah, we beasts still retain our beast figures. I also have wings on my back, but I hid them. It might look great with these two hands and feet." Theo looked at his hands and clenched his fists. "However, this is an insult and dishonor to our true form, the beasts. Although this ability comes naturally to Saint-level beasts, it is an undesirable one."
"I see, I now understand your racial point of view. You can return to your cat form, Theo. Thank you for your cooperation." Elena put her hand to her chin and nodded in understanding.
"Understood." Theo used his transformation ability once again. A bright purple light enveloped his body, and he turned back into a dark brown cat.
"If Theo says that, Leila might have the same type of form as him, huh..." Elena a.s.sumed in her mind.
"I think so. Want to see Yuuki"s beast form?" Elysia invited and glanced at the nearby stunned fox girl.
"That"s obvious." Elena also looked at Yuuki. She rubbed her hands together and smirked faintly. "Now it"s your turn, Yuuki. Please show us your beast form. I expect you to transform into a small snow fox, not the big one."
"Ah, uh... Do I have to do that? What are you going to do to me?" Yuuki was worried for several reasons, especially from the golden-haired woman.
"No, I"m not going to do anything but look at the results. After all, we just wanted to see a comparison between the Beast Race and the Beastkin Race. This is just for curiosity, nothing more." Elena leaned next to Elysia. She made room for Yuuki with Elysia as the rea.s.surance.
Yuuki looked at Elysia"s curious gaze and could only nod, but with a fair condition. "Hmm, fine. But, when I return to my human form, please help me to wrap myself in a towel like you did just now, G.o.ddess Elysia."
"Sure." Elysia gave an "ok" hand gesture.
Seeing that, Yuuki took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She calmed herself down, then used her transformation ability.
Similar to what happened to Theo, Yuuki was instantly enveloped by purple light. The shadow of her body slowly shrank into a little seven-tailed fox.
However, what happened next was unexpected for anyone, including Yuuki herself.
*Bloop*
The little seven-tailed snow fox drowned in that hot spring.
