Chapter 554 (1/2)

It was the day after she had decided to transfer to the school as a student while working as an instructor at the Academy of Magic.

Fran and Urushi were walking towards the Academy of Magic.

『You didn’t feel any sign of the spirit after that, huh?』

「Nn」

Perhaps the contact in the dining room had satisfied the spirits. And Fran was able to sleep soundly last night without waking up at all.

『Is it easy for you to move around with that uniform?』

「No problem」

『But even so, its impact was so dangerously destructive… Fran, do you like the uniform?』

「Nn? Its defense power is low, but it’s quite easy to move in. But I don’t think its destructive power is better」

『Aah―, I didn’t mean it like that. What I mean is about its cuteness or something like that』

「?」

It was no good trying to explain it to her, huh? Well, I can’t imagine Fran wearing girly clothes and being happy that she was called cute though.

Right now, Fran was wearing the uniform of the Academy of Magic. Aside from combat training, she was required to wear the uniform during classroom lessons.

This was to show the student’s classes and grades clearly. In such a large academy, with a huge number of students, it would be more convenient to be able to tell by sight.

As a mammoth academy (TLN: giant academy), the academy store had uniforms of all sizes available for purchase on the spot. Oh, and in Fran’s case, she got it for free.

The uniform of the Special Battle Class was a navy-blue blazer with the emblem of the Academy of Magic sewn on the shoulders and chest, a tie with white lines on a red background and a navy blue and white checked skirt.

She chose a white shirt, a gray vest sweater, navy blue socks, and black loafers because she was allowed to choose whatever she wanted for the rest of the outfit.

Eh? What do you mean? It’s to my liking too though. Some cloaks and robes could be worn over the head to make her look more fantasy-like… But I purposely asked her to wear a school-like uniform, because, with that, Fran’s prettiness would stand out even more!

『Now all you need is a high twin tail and you’ll be perfect…』

But there was a big problem with that.

Her cat ears would get in the way if she tried to make twin tails. I just realized that the supreme cat ears would clash with the supreme hairstyle!

So, she had no choice but to tie her hair into a low knot twin tail. Well, it looks great too.

「Master」

『Hmm? What’s wrong, Fran?』

「Why has Master become small?」

『Well, it would be weird if you were carrying me on your back in this outfit, wouldn’t it?』

「??」

She was wearing a blazer, but it would be ruined if she was carrying a large sword so I transformed into the size of a dagger and hid on the inside of her blazer.

For now, I could maintain this state for a long time if it was just a resize. At the very least, I could maintain it on our time when we’re at the academy

It would be perfect if we had a school bag, but I guess it can’t be helped. As long as we have the Dimensional Storage, that would only be a hindrance. However, her looks would be complete with that! Should I have Fran bring it with her? No, however―

「Master… You’ve become strange again」

She gave me the same deadpan look she had given me yesterday when I was picking her uniform at the store. Were my thoughts leaking out?

『A-ahaha. It isn’t weird, is it? What was the weird part about it?』

「I knew it, it was weird after all」

『Ugh… W-well. More importantly, the main entrance is already in sight』

「…Nn」

Phew, did I manage to cover it up? No, let’s just say that I managed to cover it up.

『You must show them your ID card, okay?』
