Chapter 23: Confusion

It seems I've become a woman.

To be more precise, my body seems to have changed due to the influence of summoning Crocelle's soul.

I haven't completely transformed into Crocelle, but it's like an average of her and my features.

As proof, I don't have Crocelle's angel wings or halo.

However, looking at my chest, which has become significantly larger, and my long hair, I think Crocelle's influence is more dominant.

My clothing has also changed to women's wear.

I think this outfit is similar to what Crocelle normally wears. It's a dress that any angel would wear, full of white lace.

"Oh, my Lord Norman, I am so sorry. I have caused you such great inconvenience because of my actions. I am truly incompetent. I am not only a burden to the Master, but I am also causing trouble for you. I will accept any punishment. So, Lord Norman, please punish me, this useless me."

Ugh, ugh, ugh, it's so noisy!

Crocelle has been muttering to herself inside me since a moment ago.

And because she's coming at me with that same depressing tone as before, I'm starting to feel down too.

"Crocelle! I don't mind at all! Anyway, calm down, and let's think together about how to return to normal!"

I desperately try to calm Crocelle down, saying this.

"Lord Norman...are you really not angry?"

"Yeah, I'm not angry at all. Besides, I think it's my fault!"

There's a high probability that this happened because of my summoning ritual.

Crocelle is innocent.

"Lord Norman! To think you would defend me! What kindness you possess!"

Crocelle exclaimed, filled with emotion.

It seems Crocelle has calmed down for now.

One problem solved.

"Master! Master! Where did you go? Don't leave me behind! Please don't go anywhere without me!"

Now there's Orobos, yelling in the room.

He mistook me for being gone and has been shouting like this since a while ago.

"Orobos, if you keep being loud, I'll make you leave."

I said this, holding the magical book "Goetia".

"Huh? Master?"

Orobos said this softly.

Is he able to tell that I'm the Master just from that?

"R-Really, are you the Master?"

He's still doubtful.

"If you don't believe me, I'll make you leave."

"Master! I am sorry! I don't want to leave! I, I never imagined that my Master would be in the form of a woman, so I doubted you! But I don't want to leave! I believe you, so please don't make me leave!"

Orobos' apology was overflowing with his genuine dislike of leaving.

"Well, if you believe me, I won't make you leave..."

"What a benevolent heart you have, Master. I can't help but gaze at you with admiration!"

Orobos flattering attitude. I've heard enough of it, and I'm starting to suspect he's just acting to avoid being banished. Well, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, another problem has been solved.

Now I can finally focus on how to return to normal.

"Hey, big brother. How's the summoning ritual going? I came to check up on you."

Oh, a new problem just popped up.

Suddenly, my little sister came home.
