51 An Author’s power (2/2)

Manbun stares at me for a good couple of seconds before saying,” How did you do that.”

?(￣∇￣)? What is he talking about.

Manbun seemed to perceive my confusion, because he repeated his question with more detail. ”How did you change into this.”

This? Oh! My human body! Thanks Author-san! Your Grace, your majest-

Before I could spout more word of praise, my body started shrinking and I turned back into my fairy self.
