“Then let’s begin the Class Change, but who will be the first one?”
“Then, from your elder I shall go first.”
Miralka was the first to volunteer for the Class Change.
She had pale white skin, blood-red hair, and purple eyes that marked her as a demonkin.
Furthermore, besides features different from humans, she had long canine teeth and a whip-like tail growing from her buttocks. The tip of her tail had a heart shape, which was surprisingly cute.
She was originally said to have a wild temper, but she had become smitten upon meeting her beloved Edele.
However, when she sat down on the chair, it was difficult to untangle her tail that grew from her buttocks.
So, Edele, whom Miralka loved dearly, sat on the chair, and Miralka sat down in a posture of embracing her, thus restraining her.
“…I-it hurts, Incompetent Princess! Please be a little gentler.”
“What are you saying? I can’t hear you?”
Following the forceful restraint, Swan Hilda purified the area with Holy Magic, and Mai and I, standing on either side of the chair, chanted Holy Magic.
“…W-what a strange feeling… Nnngh… I-I… I’m changing…!”
“Miralka, hold on to your consciousness! If you don’t, your very existence will unravel!”
“…Hyoeeeee… E-Edelea-saaaaama… H-help meeee!”
Due to the Holy Magic cast by Mai and me, her existence had begun to fade, but in response to Edele’s embrace and calls, her long canine teeth retracted, and her tail dissolved into black micro-particles, merging with the atmosphere.
Along with this, her blood-red hair turned silver, and the color of her irises changed from a demonkin’s purple to red.
Thus, Miralka, the maiden demonkin, underwent a Class Change to become human Miralka.
“N-no way!? A demonkin really… turned into a human…?”
Alicia, who was serious, was troubled about how to treat the maiden demonkin, her mortal enemy, whom she had met for the first time today. Seeing them undergo their Class Change in detail left her speechless.
Others who had not witnessed Swan Hilda or Edele’s Class Change had similar reactions.
Miralka, now human, was immediately freed from restraint and returned to her seat.
“Miralka, are you alright?”
“Yes, I’m fine. It feels strange without my fangs and tail, but I feel refreshed.”
“The second one is me.”
The second person was Mercurynande. Esmeralda was also the same age, but Mercurynande was born a little earlier.
Mercurynande had a bewitching purple gaze peeking from between her lustrous dark hair.
And slender, elegant horns grew from her temples.
“I wish to be embraced by Edele-sama as well.”
“How about me?”
“If I were with the ‘Incompetent Princess,’ my resentment of being kidnapped would completely disappear.”
“You guys are really infuriating! Ede-nee, please.”
“Mercurynande, come here.”
“Yes, Edele-sama. I… I’m happy to be embraced by Edele-sama.”
“Then let’s begin, Mai.”
“Mm.”
“…Aaaangh~… My… body… Aah~ aah~… is melting!”
Although there was a bit of chaos before using Holy Magic, Mercurynande’s body, embraced by Edele, was safely Class Changed into a human, and her elegant horns disappeared.
Human Mercurynande had become a beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes.
“It’s over, Mercurynande. I’ll have you released from restraints right away.”
“…I… I want to stay like this a little longer, nngh!? It hurts!”
“Hurry up and switch, Mercurynande!”
The Class Change was successfully completed, but Mercurynande, who wanted to be embraced by Edele a little longer, was hit on the back of her head by Esmeralda, who was next in line.
“Mercurynande, didn’t it hurt?”
“…My head hurts, Beatrix.”
“Not that, I mean the Class Change. Those beautiful horns are gone, and your head looks a little bare now.”
“It feels surprisingly refreshing. How about you, Miralka?”
“I feel the same. It’s truly strange.”
Beatrix asked Miralka and Mercurynande, who had finished their Class Change, about their impressions, and it seemed there were no particular ill effects.
“Next is me.”
The third one was Esmeralda. Since Miralka and Mercurynande’s Class Changes went smoothly, Esmeralda seemed optimistic as well.
Esmeralda was a beautiful girl with beautiful wavy green hair and purple eyes. As demonkin characteristics, she had short horns on her forehead and fangs in her mouth.
“I also… want to be embraced by Edele-sama.”
“Esmeralda, you too? Wouldn’t it be fine if at least one person wanted to be embraced by me?”
“I also want to cling to Edele-sama’s achievements. If I were to disappear after being embraced by the ‘Incompetent Princess,’ it would leave a deep scar on the heart of the younger Beatrix.”
“Esmeralda, you’ve always been the type to say one thing and mean another… You’re such a troublesome person.”
“Esmeralda, you have horns on your forehead and fangs, so sit on my lap.”
“Yes, Edele-sama. Please take care of me.”
“Don’t I deserve any words of gratitude for choosing you guys?”
Swan Hilda muttered complaints to herself as she purified the area.
“Well then, Mai, let’s start!”
“Mm, got it.”
“…Huh!? …What is this! …It’s here, here, it’s hereeeeee!”
Through my and Mai’s Holy Magic, her forehead horns unraveled into micro-particles and disappeared, and her fangs began to shorten from her mouth.
When the Class Change was over, a beautiful girl with blue hair and brown eyes was restrained, leaning her back against Edele with an ecstatic expression.
“The comfort of this chair is the best.”
*Thwack!*
“Esmeralda, you’ve been released from restraints, so get off already.”
Beatrix, who was the last one, hit Esmeralda on the top of her head with a fan-like object made of paper in her right hand.
It seemed Elise had taken it out of her Item Box and handed it over.
Thus, Beatrix chased Esmeralda, who was reluctant to leave, back to her seat.
“I’m last. In my case, it’s the wings on my back, so Edele-sama, let’s embrace each other face-to-face.”
Beatrix was restrained in a way that she embraced Edele, who was sitting on the chair.
“Beatrix, you have maggots growing in your head, don’t you?”
“I can hear noise from the outside, but I will not allow anyone to disturb the world between Edele-sama and me.”
“Oh, is that so? Beatrix.”
Swan Hilda sighed at Beatrix, who had created a world of just the two of them with Edele.
Meanwhile, Beatrix already had a melting expression.
Beatrix was a beautiful girl with long yellow-green hair and purple eyes. Her demonkin characteristic was a pair of bat-like wings growing from her back.
“Then let’s begin. Mai, this is the last one, so do your best.”
“I… I’m fine.”
As Swan Hilda kept the area pure, Mai and I cast Holy Magic for our final effort.
“…Huh!? What is this? My back is itchy… Hii~aaah~”
Through Holy Magic, her back wings blurred and dissolved into the atmosphere.
“…I… Nngh… I’m disappearing…”
“N-no, Beatrix!? Hold on! If you don’t, your very existence will unravel!”
“D-don’t, Beatrix, don’t go!”
Although the wings, the mark of a demonkin, disappeared, her body itself began to disappear as well, so Swan Hilda embraced her from behind, and she and Edele together tried to hold Beatrix back by calling out to her.
“…I… still… don’t want to die…”
It seemed she managed to stop herself just at the brink, and the Class Change was completed safely.
“You did well, Beatrix.”
“I… I think I stopped myself because I heard Edele-Elder Sister’s voice. Edele-Elder Sister’s love is amazing.”
*Thwack!*
“It hurts! What are you doing, you Incompetent Princess?”
“It’s my fault for worrying about you.”
Swan Hilda hit Beatrix on the top of her head with a paper fan-like object that had fallen near the restraint chair.
Beatrix’s wings had disappeared, and she had become a beautiful girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes.
“However, I was surprised during Swan Hilda’s and Edele’s transformations, but it’s strange how there’s such reproducibility,” Elise remarked emotionally.
“The Class Change has ended successfully, but we still need to confirm if they have truly become human, Hal-sama.”
“Y-yes, that’s true.”
“Let’s take a break and then proceed with the ‘Strip & Check’.”
Elise, as the sub-leader of the Princess Harem, declared the start of the ‘Strip & Check’ with a dark smile.
After finishing the Class Change in the living room in my private section on the second floor, we moved to the living room on the first floor.
There, tea and snacks were prepared on a long table, and it became a standing tea party.
The maiden demonkin were no longer present. The Party Members of the Princess Harem, primarily composed of highly sociable former princesses and imperial princesses, were chatting with the maidens who had Class Changed into humans.
It was an unbelievable sight for Hal, who had been a member of the Hero Party as Lester the Cleric in his past life, but the four beautiful girls who were attached to Edele, a Party Member of the Princess Harem, quickly hit it off.
“If my body hadn’t Class Changed from Princess Knight, I could have taken advantage of her…”
Zofi, leaning against the wall by herself, muttered something sinister, but since she had been neutralized by her transformation into a beautiful girl, she didn’t attract anyone’s attention.
“Mercurynande, what kind of magic are you good at?”
“Originally, I was good at dark-attribute attack magic, but my constitution seems to have changed with the Class Change. Therefore, it’s unclear what I’m good at currently.”
Elise immediately caught Mercurynande and started discussing magic.
Beside them, Dietlinde, the Fire Spirit Magic user, and Shera, the magic swordswoman, were listening to their conversation.
“I won’t let go of Edele-Elder Sister.”
“Miralka, you’ll be an adult soon.”
“I’m still a child.”
Shifting her gaze, she saw Miralka clinging to Edele’s right arm and refusing to let go.
Beside her were Ly, Mai, and Kirika.
“Incompetent Princess, let go.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve talked to you, Beatrix.”
Swan Hilda embraced Beatrix and spoke to her, but Beatrix looked annoyed.
Alicia and Ilisha watched the scene with interest.
“Could you please tell us about the lifestyle and ecology of demonkin?”
“If I can be of any help…”
Searching for the remaining Esmeralda, she was found sitting on a chair by the wall, and she had begun discussing demonkin customs with Liliana, who had sat down next to her.
“Hal-sama, the preparations for the ‘Strip & Check’ venue are complete.”
Tirna and Freya seemed to have completed the venue preparations.
Furthermore, the younger Ilisha was taken to her private room due to concerns about her emotional development.
