Chapter 65 (1/2)
CHAPTER 65 – THAT BODY IS SURELY MADE WITH COTTON
Royal Capital La Linea, in the Royal Grimoire Library.
After successfully finis.h.i.+ng the case with Guernica, I came back and am reading Grimoire as usual.
The one I’m reading right now is a story that I probably have seen somewhere.
A small girl dropped a doll in the spring, and when she was crying out loud, a G.o.ddess appeared from the spring asking「Is this the doll you have dropped」.
「This probably came from respecting golden axe and silver axe〜」
The honest girl pushed back the expensive doll to the G.o.ddess, begging to return the doll that the girl has fond memories with.
「Ahh, it’s probably a similar development with a ‘good Gian’」(TL: Doraemon bully)
For reading manga, this one has a more familiar development. It’s a good work after all, un.
I read the Grimoire until the end, and learned the magic.
I should try it I thought, and chanted the spell.
「『Possess Doll』」
In an instant, it was pure white in front of me.
It’s a similar feeling with teleportation or summoning magic.
I entrusted my body to the magic.
After a while, my sight returned.
(This……where is it? Mu!)
First, I noticed that my voice wouldn’t come out.
I tried to speak but my voice won’t come out. I feel my mouth moving, but there’s no voice.
(『Light』)
I tried to use magic. The tip of my finger lit.
It looks like there’s no problem using magic.
And with that, I calmed down, and looked around.
It looks like it’s a room. On top of that, one that I’m familiar with.
I took a look around.
(Coco?)
I saw our house’s pet dog.
A dog-eared girl with beautiful fur and is mofumofu. A mysterious race that changes to a cat-eared girl when she’s splashed with water.
That Coco, she was lying flat on the bed.
In a position that is a little strange as a beastman, she’s sleeping with her body curled up like a dog.
(I see, this is Coco’s room huh. Well, there’s no helping that I’m familiar with it)
I looked inside the room once again. There’s no doubt, it is a room in my mansion in the royal capital La Linea.
I found out my own appearance in the gla.s.s window.
I became a doll.
A doll that is the third of Coco’s size.
My lookーーit is exactly like me.
Just a little bit reformed, but a doll that you’d know it’s me with a glance.
I moved my hand, the doll raised its hand to its limit.
I moved my feet, the doll took a turn.
I took a pose, Sapotendā. (TL: Cactuar in final fantasy)
I see, it means I’m inside this doll because of the magic huh.
It’s connected with the contents of the manga, and also in the spell’s name.
It’s probably a magic to go inside a doll.
But, how can I say this……it’s quite tattered.
The Lucio doll that is shown in the gla.s.s window that I’m inside, can be obviously seen as tattered.
The cheeks are a little dirty, there’s loose threads here and there, and when it comes to the shorts, there’s a little hole and cotton is coming out.
“Why did it become like this”, when I was thinking of that.
「Unya〜……」
I heard Coco’s voice.
I turned around, Coco’s
sleepy face because of the warm sunlight is looking towards me.
「Thish ish where it’sh warm〜……」
She said that, and hugged me(the doll).
And just slept like thatーーbut when I was thinking of that, she started to rub her cheeks to the doll.
She rubbed her cheeks, or bit it softly. She did that while still half-asleep.
(Well, it can’t be helped that it would be in tatters)
Her drool seeps into the parts where she bit lightly, and I felt a strange feeling.
Well then, what should I do.
I already checked the magic, so I should probably return to my body.
The instant I thought of that, it was pure white in front of me.
A common phenomenon with teleportation or summoning.
It’s the same phenomenon when I went inside the doll.
ButーーI didn’t do anything.
I didn’t use any magic.
