35 Chapter 29: Are You a Boy or a Girl?; An Unexpected Developmen (1/2)

I've gotten a physical body.

A healthy human body with two hands and two feet.

Well, more exactly, an Eifil-Realne's body. It just closely resembles a human's in retrospect.

The slight difference are my slightly pointy ears, but not long enough to be of the elves from my memories. Same with humans' but the top edge is a little bit pointy. Another are the white horns protruding from my forehead, just about an inch above my eyebrows. And lastly, a slightly thicker tail than Fleur's with the same shape for the tip, a flat diamond shaped tip.

My body itself is well toned, but is still slender. Slimmer than what I had before, to be honest. I can see how this race specialize in Strength and Speed.

Ciel: ”F-Finally… A body…”

This is awesome. Seriously, it is.

It's not that I hate having a ghost for a body. Actually, it's sort of comforting in its own way when I first arrived in this world. But looking back, it was honestly better to have a suitable body that I'm used to having.

It was just longer than a month but I already feel so nostalgic about having a body…

Mufufu…

Ciel: ”Up we go. … Phew.”

I was sitting when I found myself evolved so I stood up to test things out.

I can swing my arms perfectly fine. I can jump fairly easy.

Wait, no. I feel as light as a feather, rather. It's like, if I try to jump at full force I may get stuck at the ceiling like a knife.

There's no problem with my head either. The only noticeable part is this slight weight I feel over my head.

Yeah. My hair appears to be long, reaching down to my back.

I've finished confirming the function of my body and turned my head towards Fleur and Purin.

Ahh… It feels so good to turn my head around. Even such trivial things makes me happy is just a proof how I missed having this body.

Fleur: ”*gulp* … Uhm…”

Hmhm. It looks like Fleur is blushing once again. But this time…

Ciel: ”Ahaha… Ms. Fleur? My eyes are up here.”

Fleur: ”Eh?! I-I was not looking!!”

She was looking at my junior, just as I thought.

Ciel: ”Kyah! Fleur, you perv!”

I playfully covered my chest and my son. Fleur followed by covering her eyes again.

Ahaha~ Well, I guess she's still a normal girl in that regards. She still has her curiosity, of course.

But then again…

Right…

I finally have my junior…! It's been a while my son… *sniffle* I never thought I'd meet you again in this world.

… Things will become busy tonight.

Purin: ”Just make haste and don a cloth or whatever, purin.”

Ciel: ”But I don't have any. Hmm…”

I folded my hands and ponder to think.

Fleur: ”Hawawawa…”

It feels so airy so I really need to find something to wear. Not to mention, Fleur can't help but look. But until now, the clothes are only for Fleur and nothing else. From the look of things, I'm visibly taller than Fleur so using her clothes are not an option. Well, to begin with, using a girl's clothes? Nope. That's a huge nope.

Fleur: ”U-Uhm… Before that, Ciel…?”

Ciel: ”Yeah?”

Fleur fidgets around her index fingers while hanging her head down. Her face is still blushed even up to her ears. She shoots short glances every now and then, but instantly withdraw them because of embarrassment. Yet, not once has she looked at my face. She's really that fixated on my body.

Ahaha… I really need to have clothes.

Fleur: ”I-I know you have… Uhm… Your 'thing' there, but…”

Saying the word 'thing' made her blush even more. Now her body is almost red from the embarrassment. Mufufu. She's so cute.

Ciel: ”Yeah. It feels so comforting knowing that I once again got one.”

Fleur: ”~~~! … Y-Yes! So… Uhm. You are a man, right?”

Huh? What's with that question? Of course, I am. I mean, what else could I be? I have my junior right here.

Ciel: ”Of course, I am. Why do you ask?”

Fleur: ”I-I see. I was not mistaken. It is just… You completely appear to be a woman. Your physique, to be precise.”

I placed my hands over my face and body to check.

It's soft.

I remember my face before, since I often wash my face every morning and in the evening. It became a routine then because of how dust easily piles up in our town. It irritates my face.

So, touching my face right now, I know there's something different. Or rather, everything is different.

Fleur also said something about my body, but… I don't have boobs, obviously. I have my junior as well. But…

I see. So this is what she meant by appearing to have a woman's body. Perhaps all she knew about a man being a man physically is by having rugged and rough physique. She's not that familiar with a lot of commons sense, I see.

Well, her father was a warrior that time so he must have had a well-built body.

But the thing is, my hip is a bit wider and my waist is slimmer than a guy's. Well, my navel is still lower than a female, if I remember correctly. Still, there's not even a trace of having a broad shoulder or whatsoever. Not to mention, my now long hair…

Oh my goodness… This is… that? Right?

I've become a…

A-Anyways, I really need to cover myself with something.

Right, I'll try using Silk Thread and use Thread Control to make some clothes.

Hm. Where will I produce it, I wonder? I got this skill from a worm like monster that spits its threads out of its mouth, so should I expect it from my mouth as well?

I activated Silk Thread and heard the clicking sound of the activation. To my surprise, it appears to eject from my index fingers.

Ciel: ”Ohhh! Now let's try making clothes.”

Purin: ”Thou can even do that…? Thou really art shrouded in mystery…”

I return those exact same words to you, you mind reading, all-knowing slime.

Ignoring Purin's statement, I focused on making a simple robe. Much to my surprise, making it is quite easier that I thought. Even though I know nothing about sewing or the sort, I just did it while imagining the finished product. Perhaps Thread Control is in… 'control' here. Pfft.

That one's funny, right?

Right?

… Ahem.

Of course, I'm not only using Thread Control here, I'm also using Psychokinesis, which has now become Psyche. The silk's color is white so it ended up being pure white. Well, beggars can't be choosers, as they say.

I tried the robe on and it perfectly fit my newly acquired body. Yeah, this is nice. It's simple enough to be called a bathrobe. I'll just make a new one later. For now, this will do.

Now, going back to my appearance.

Purin: ”Here, a mirror, purin.”

Ciel: ”Oh, where did you get this?”

Using her liquid body, she reached an oblong shaped mirror with intricate designs on its edge.

Purin: ”From the castle empire, back in the Demon Continent, purin. Just make haste and look at yourself, purin.”

Well, I can just use Magic Perception to look at myself, but… I think it won't be wise to turn her good will down, in this case.

I did as suggested to and looked at my own reflection.

… Ohhh…

… Color me surprised.

Shocked, to be more exact. I really look like a woman in her twenties. Just around the same age as when I was a human, albeit a bit older. I was 20 years old back in my former world so it's not that far though.
