Chapter 154 : I'll Put This Cat Teaser Here
...Isn't it just crawling? I'm the best at crawling!
No matter what, saving dinner is the priority!!
Although using magic to stun the other party would be much easier for Elsa now, just like how Yvonne would rather endure the system's punishment alone than truly bully her, Elsa was unwilling to use magic to do anything that might harm her.
It felt like walking with weights...
No, she absolutely didn't mean that Yvonne was heavy, it's just that now Evie was clinging to her like a koala, which greatly restricted her movement.
The floor had been cleaned spotless by Yvonne's wind magic, with basically no dust.
Using both hands and feet, Elsa struggled to reach the kitchen.
Once within her casting range, she was finally able to interrupt the fire stone spell's activation.
The flames on the stove finally extinguished, and the stone pot quieted down, with white steam rising from the gaps in the stone lid.
Rescue successful—
"—Ouch!!"
After being quiet for a moment, Evie started a new round of strange behavior.
Rather than the nearby delicious food, she seemed more interested in Elsa.
A dull pain came from the back of her neck, the feeling of canine teeth on her neck. With her back to Yvonne, she could feel the sharp canines embedding into her skin at the nape of her neck, causing pain.
However, this level of force clearly wasn't intended to hurt her or draw blood; this golden big cat just wanted to bite her.
Even the teeth become sharper...
Before she could think about or marvel at these amazing changes happening to Yvonne, the next round of biting sensation came from the back of her neck again.
"(Bite) Grrrr..."
"So, why are you biting me~~~?!"
Could it be that she was disliked?
Yvonne's answer, however, was unexpected:
"This is... marking, mmm..."
Wild thunder leopards would bite their captured prey to leave their own mark, which could be said to be their instinct.
"I'm not your food reserve~~~!"
"Grr... Of course not..."
Sucking on the flesh of Elsa's shoulder, she mumbled in response:
"Elsa is... my bride candidate..."
In contrast to her somewhat forceful actions, her voice was soft, speaking with a breath near Elsa's ear.
"Elsa... I like you the most..."
"Um, um..."
Why does she become so exceptionally honest at times like this!!
It's really too unfair—
Elsa's brain short-circuited, with white mist rising from her head due to overheating.
"Like the smell... like Elsa..."
She bit while mumbling indistinctly, then seeming to feel that she had bitten too hard where she left teeth marks, she licked the reddened area she had just bitten with her tongue.
~~~~!!
When licked, Elsa almost cried out.
A feeling difficult to describe in words,
Warm, wet, and very rough, so ticklish!!
This feeling... could it be that her tongue now has barbs?
Although some changes were expected after the transformation, what Elsa hadn't anticipated was that these changes would be so extensive, so thorough.
She had originally thought 'transformation' would just change the appearance, but now it seemed that to a large extent, it had taken the transformed person beyond the realm of humans.
I'm going to lose—
In this state, completely unable to concentrate, Elsa began to think about some naughty things.
Although her stamina wasn't great, when it came to kissing techniques, she had always had the upper hand.
Making the other party blush and pant had always been something Elsa felt quite accomplished about, but in this current state, she felt completely uncertain.
If they were to kiss in this state, she would probably lose!
"Purrrr..."
But obviously, this golden big cat had no intention of letting her go just like that, hugging her and continuing to nuzzle against her.
In this beast state, the sensitivity of her body's sensory organs had been amplified.
For Yvonne now, her beloved Elsa seemed like a human-shaped walking catnip, just smelling her scent made her very excited.
On the other hand, Elsa, being pinned down tightly, wasn't feeling so good.
This love was heavy!
In short, she had to find a way to get her off herself first—
Elsa looked around and finally saw a feather duster used for dusting not far away.
That's it! She could try that—
She had a flash of inspiration and used magic wind mischief to remove the longest tail feather from the duster.
"Evie~ Look! What's this—"
"——!!"
Waving the tail feather back and forth in front of Yvonne, her gaze followed it intently, even her head swaying along with it.
This 'tease the cat' strategy was indeed highly effective. After focusing her attention, she seemed to finally calm down a bit, concentrating fully on the waving spotted end of the feather in Elsa's hand, and finally pounced on it.
Elsa finally managed to escape from under her.
"Why are you running..."
Looking back, seeing her raise her head with teary eyes looking at her, Elsa was struck by her cuteness and couldn't help but feel a great sense of guilt.
"...Do you dislike me?"
"No! That's not what I meant~~~"
"Grr..."
Her tail drooped, and after Elsa slipped away from her embrace, she seemed somewhat hurt and didn't pounce again.
What could be done to soothe a cat?
Elsa thought about whether there was a way to calm her down.
She tried to stroke the top of her head, between the two ears.
"Grr?"
The short fur on the back of her ears was very smooth, even a bit intoxicating to touch.
But judging from her expression, she seemed to enjoy this process very much.
Just this move was enough to make her roll on the ground comfortably.
So cute—
What kind of adorable creature is this?
Although satisfied sounds were already coming from deep in her throat,
Elsa didn't intend to stop there, she extended her magic paws to Yvonne's chin.
"Tickle tickle tickle—"
"It tickles, hahaha! ——Stop, stop!! ...Eh??"
After a bout of laughter, Yvonne finally regained her senses.
After coming to, she found herself wearing an apron, lying on the ground.
Upon regaining consciousness, Yvonne hurriedly got up.
Her hair was messy, the buttons of her clothes violently torn open, her chest half-exposed, and there were red marks on her neck...
Seeing this scene, Yvonne immediately fell into a panic.
"What... just happened?"
In response to this belated reaction, Elsa puffed up her cheeks, showing a reproachful expression.
"That's so mean, Evie—!! You've already forgotten what you just did to me??"
"...Wait, wait?"
⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱
It didn't take long for Yvonne to go from semi-beast state to full control.
It seems Yvonne's mental strength was stronger than she had imagined.
"Anyway—— let's eat first, I'm starving!"
You can't think properly on an empty stomach!
Elsa suggested this, and Yvonne agreed.
"After your body changed like this, do you feel any particular changes, Evie?"
"Uh... the most obvious is of course this."
Saying this, she extended her now fully beast-like claws, trying to retract them.
Contrary to her imagination, the sharp claws could be retracted like a cat's.
But even if she could do these things, the most troublesome thing had already happened.
The originally dexterous human fingers had now become very inconvenient.
Yvonne extended her paw with its pads, then looked at the delicious chicken soup on the table, steaming and emitting a fragrant aroma.
In this state, even using a spoon to drink soup had become a troublesome task.
"Don't worry, that's what I'm here for, right?"
Seeing the other's dilemma, Elsa simply brought a chair over and sat beside Yvonne, holding her bowl, smiling and ready to engage in a feeding play.
"You don't need to go to such extremes to feed me—"
Yvonne still felt very embarrassed.
"...I can drink directly from the bowl, it's not necessary."
"You clearly look happy to be fed by me, why are you refusing?"
"!!"
Yvonne suddenly realized that after her body changed to this state, all her body's emotions were expressed through her tail.
Touching the high-standing tail.
"If I remember correctly, a tail standing up high like this means you're very willing, right?"
The school had taught some habits of common magical beasts in magical zoology class, so Elsa,
"This is a leopard, okay!"
"Mm-hmm? Isn't it just a bigger cat?"
"............"
Put that way, it did make some sense.
"How long will this form last?"
"Hmm... I've read Miss Dorothea's letter. Theoretically, if one can master this 'assimilation' technique skillfully, it's possible to freely cancel the transformation."
"That's so abstract... What kind of technique is it? Ow!! That's hot!"
Yvonne tried to lift the bowl with her 'hand', but immediately got burned. She instinctively wanted to put the bowl back on the table, but because she was startled, she put it down a bit too quickly. The fur on her paws rubbed against the air, making crackling sounds, and when it landed on the table surface, it made a loud noise.
Danger to the dining tabl.
Under the dumbfounded gaze of both, the wooden tabletop was split by Yvonne into a visible crack, then collapsed into two halves.
Fortunately, Elsa was quick enough to grab the soup pot and bowls from the table, otherwise dinner would have been gone.
"...What on earth?" Yvonne looked at her own paws in shock.
Without realizing it, her strength seemed to have increased several fold, and even such simple actions could cause unexpectedly terrifying effects.
"——'Being able to utilize the characteristics and effects of the original body —— this is the effect of assimilation' That's what the letter says... You actually didn't strangle me to death when you hugged me earlier? That's truly a miracle..."
Looking at the wooden table that had split in two, Elsa felt a chill in her heart. With her small frame, if she had suffered a similar level of impact, it's quite possible that her bones would have been crushed by now.
"——How could I do such a thing! This must have happened because I accidentally triggered some skill——"
Yvonne had indeed unconsciously triggered the thunder leopard's 'Thunder Claw' skill earlier.
"Did Miss Dorothea say how to master the technique of assimilation?"
"No, she only wrote in the letter 'feel with your heart, maintain emotional stability'."
After reading it, Elsa shook the letter in her hand and brought it to her face. The content on the letter was identical to what she had said.
Yvonne immediately fell into distress, her tail beginning to swish back and forth uneasily.
"Then what should we do now~~~!"
"...It might get better if you calm down? Maybe this happened because you were too excited earlier? Let me check your body first."
"...Be careful!"
Because she was afraid of hurting Elsa, Yvonne didn't dare move at all when Elsa approached now, fearing that she might do something irreversible by accident.
"It's okay, I believe Evie won't hurt me."
"This isn't a matter of belief or not~~~"
She pressed against Yvonne's chest to check her heartbeat, furrowing her brow.
"For a human, this rate is indeed a bit fast..."
Even more extreme than when her consciousness wasn't clear earlier.
"Evie, are you feeling very nervous right now?"
"Nervous... a little bit."
The dazed feeling of being controlled by instinct earlier actually made her feel more comfortable. Because her body's sensations had expanded several times compared to before, her heart was full of anxiety.
Hearing, smell, touch, and the state of her body... everything was affecting her mind.
"Mm... I've heard that when people are nervous, their bodies make exaggerated stress responses... so... if doing this can help you relax, Evie..."
With a meaningful smile, Elsa moved closer to her.
She wanted to return everything she had suffered on her body earlier.
"...Wait, wait a moment??"
Sensing trouble, Yvonne hugged herself with both paws, constantly retreating.
Because she was worried about accidentally hurting her, she didn't dare do anything, which instead became her constraint. Elsa was precisely seizing this opportunity.
Click—
At this moment, the sound of a door being pushed open came from the entrance.
"Why isn't the door locked? Although the security here is good, it's not right to let your guard down like this—"
"Excuse us, the feedback report for the last mission is out——Uh?!"
Passing by here, they wanted to stop by and greet their student. Brin and Yuna entered.
The former mentor and current mentor came to visit, only to see a scene before them that left them dumbfounded.
"...It seems we came at a bad time?"
Behind Brin, whose mouth was twitching, Yuna covered her eyes with her spread fingers, her face blushing.
"No, you've come at just the right time—!"
Yvonne, on the verge of tears, called for help.
"We've just made dinner, please stay for a meal!!"
With a 'please help me' look in her eyes, Yvonne desperately tried to convey a distress signal to the two teachers, but was misunderstood by the considerate Yuna.
"Well, we can't just freeload without bringing anything... Right, Brin? Let's go to the street to buy some side dishes, we'll come back in about an hour!"
Yuna timely proposed this 'considerate' suggestion, then pulled the confused-looking Brin towards the door.
"Wait a moment, teachers!!"
Forget one hour, at this rate, she would be eaten up within half an hour!
"Mm-hmm, that would really be a big help."
"——Elsa!!"
Another peaceful day.
