Land of Death, Northernmost part of the Demon Realm. In the castle of the Death King Isis, Rasal, one of her subordinates, was looking at a document given to her by Eulpecula…… who is currently more like a pet of Isis rather than her subordinate.
Rasal has taught Eulpecula various things about magic, and is in a position where she can practically be called Eulpecula’s magic teacher. And Eulpecula, aiming to become a Demon in the form of a beastman by reshaping her body rather than relying on Humanization Magic, had brought a draft of the magic formula for this purpose and wanted Rasal to take a look at it.
After looking at the paper with a rather complicated magic formula with a serious expression for a while, Rasal let out a light sigh.
[……You really are an astounding genius. How could you, in just a year of learning magic, put together a magic formula of this level…… Of course, there are still many rough edges, but if you build on this, your wish will come true in about 50 years.]
[Ehh~~ It’s going to take 50 years……]
[If you compromise in adequate areas, it will be quicker, but for a complete mutation like you wanted it, it will be meaningless without a lot of fine-tuning. For example, if one just wanted to change only the properties of the original body, like from a Human to a Demon of the same type, it’s not so difficult……]
[Then that would be meaningless! I want to become a Beastman-type Demon that holds the combined disposition of Isis-sama and Kaito-sama!]
[……And so, you want to become a Demon with a growth rate similar to that of Humans, right? That really isn’t an easy task, or rather, in normal circumstances, that’s practically impossible…… It’s only because the magic power of Isis-sama and Kaito-sama are mixed within you that it’s frightening how that’s become possible if you can do it well. However, as there’s no precedent for this, you should proceed with caution. Even you wouldn’t want it to turn out into a failure, right?]
[Ugh, I guess so…… Haahhh…… I guess I’ll just have to take my time and do it slowly…… It’s so frustrating.]
Her shoulders slumping with a sigh, Eulpecula also seemed to have expected this, as she nodded in understanding. Seeing her reaction, Rasal looked somewhat exasperated.
(Normally, this would have been something that would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years though…… However, with my knowledge and experiences, supplemented by the byproducts of past practice, all these reference materials available to us, including the forbidden books held by Isis-sama, and Eulpecula’s genius ideas and senses…… Honestly, I feel like this could be completed in about 10 years, but she still has the impatience of a child, so it might be better to deliberately convey a longer estimated completion time and let her work on it patiently. Well, even 50 years would be surprisingly fast for something of this level……)
Looking at her disciple who astoundingly fits the word genius to a tee, she looked astounded…… but still, Rasal had a somewhat amused expression, when she suddenly noticed something and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
[It’s about time we get ready for the tea party.]
[Ahh, you’re right! We’re going to drink Kaito-sama’s tea, aren’t we!!!? Since it’s Kaito-sama’s original brand, it would naturally be delicious, but since we all decided to celebrate the brand launch day by drinking together, I’ve been looking forward to this!]
Today, all members of the Death King’s camp, including Isis, are scheduled to have a tea party while drinking Kaito’s original tea blend, and Eulpecula happily wags her tail.
It’s still early for the scheduled tea party, but it’s about time for them to get ready.
[I think Iris and the others might have already started preparing.]
[Right…… For the time being, we should make sure Sirius’ idiocy never gets into the kitchen.]
[I’d like you to stop any fights before the tea party. Well, I do agree that Sirius shouldn’t be anywhere near the kitchen.]
Leaving the room, they headed to the kitchen while chatting casually. As mentioned by the two, Sirius is quite bad at cooking…… Due to the nature of an Insectoid Demon’s taste buds, she tends to excessively sweeten everything and with her rough personality, her cooking skills would result in something quite terrible.
When the two of them reached the kitchen while talking like that……
[……Ahh…… Eul and Rasal…… I see the both of you…… have also come.]
[ [ Isis-sama!? ] ]
There, wearing an apron with a smile, was Isis, making what seemed to be a cake.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Flirting with Anima is a title fra…… W- What? ……T- The story…… is different?]
? ? ? : [Ahh~~ Is this gonna be that? Like, there’s a separate arc with Anima-san after everyone’s reaction was shown?]
Serious-senpai : [Wouldn’t that instead make things worse for me?]
