Kage suddenly evolved like a Digimon.
The sight before was, to be honest…
‘Damn, she’s so pretty.’
Her long brown hair reached her waist, and her facial features were dignified and mature, unlike her usual deanor. Her heart was equally majestic, and she even had fluffy dog ears and a tail to match.
‘No wonder she’s a beast princess.’
Indeed, despite her childish behavior and love for snacks, her appearance was far beyond her age.
Thomas and I were montarily stunned, but…
“Master, are your ears okay? Or did you… Huh! Did you hear telling you?!”
Just a mont ago, I had found her pretty, but her silly behavior made that thought disappear.
‘This is why you can’t judge a person by their appearance.’
I sighed deeply and waved my hand, indicating for her to leave.
“Sigh. First, let finish talking to Father. Go play with Lise and Willy for a while.”
“No, you can talk if you want. I’ve already finished eating anyway.”
Thomas stood up from his seat, and I nodded in agreent.
“Yes, I’ll talk to Kage here.”
“Thank you, Master!”
Kage bowed deeply, her eyes sparkling with joy. Thomas ruffled her hair as if she were his own daughter.
“Yes, I hope you’ll continue to play with my daughter. And take good care of my son.”
“Ahem! Don’t worry!”
Kage placed her hands on her hips, puffing out her chest, which seed more prominent now that she had grown.
“Yes, go ahead and talk. Kaine.”
“Yes, Father. Take care.”
Thomas left the dining room, and the next mont…
“Master, I want food too!”
Kage whined like a child, waiting for Thomas to leave. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her unchanged attitude.
“Yes, of course. Wait, I’ll tell them to prepare your food.”
So, before we talked, we had our al.
.
.
.
After finishing our al, I stared at the ten empty plates on the table, wondering…
‘Did she eat more because she grew up?’
As I was thinking this, Kage…
“Phew…”
Patted her belly with a satisfied expression.
“Where do you put all that food?”
“Just like you, Master.”
Not really.
“Well, anyway, how did this happen?”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Kage finally realized why she was here. She blinked her eyes and waved her arms excitedly as she explained…
“Well, when I woke up this morning, the energy inside suddenly beca active and I grew up, Master!”
“Hmm. But don’t all beastkin grow up suddenly like that?”
Indeed, in the ga, during the sub-quest, Kage grew up suddenly like this. So, I wasn’t surprised.
“Well, you’re right, Master. We beastkin do grow up suddenly, but I’m a little different.”
“Huh? Different?”
“Yes! Watch closely.”
At that mont…
“Woong!”
Huh? What the hell?
Kage’s body began to revert to her younger form, which I had seen countless tis.
“Ahem! What do you think? I can grow up at will, unlike other beastkin!”
Kage puffed out her chest proudly. I was initially shocked by her unexpected ability, but then I understood why she had this power.
‘Oh, right. She had the ability to grow rapidly.’
When I played the ga, I thought she only grew up, not that she could revert to her younger form.
This ability allowed her to manipulate her physical age.
‘I never expected that ability.’
Perhaps I was too surprised, as Kage smirked and teased .
“Hihihi, look at you, Master, so surprised!”
“Shut up, you little brat.”
I couldn’t help but give her a light slap on the head.
“Ouch!”
Kage rubbed her head where I had hit her, tears welling up in her eyes. I ignored her reaction and said…
“Well, let’s go and check it out.”
“Huh? Check?”
Kage tilted her head at my question. I pointed my thumb towards the training ground.
“Let’s see how much you’ve grown.”
.
.
.
Kaine and Kage arrived at the training ground, and it seed the news had already spread.
“So, this is the first ti we’ve seen the two of you sparring.”
“ too.”
Lien and Lise were talking to each other in the stands, while Willy, sitting next to them, looked at the two of them and…
‘…I’m so small.’
Compared to the two of them and the grown-up Kage, Willy looked at her own chest with a very dejected expression.
Of course, her chest wasn’t small, but compared to the other won, it was nothing.
‘Even Kage has betrayed .’
Normally, Willy would have cheered for Kage, whom she had been close to. But now, she felt betrayed and decided to cheer for Kaine instead.
“Brother, crush that big-breasted brat!”
“Huh? What’s wrong with you, Willy? Is this your true character?”
On the other hand, Kaine was puzzled by Willy’s sudden outburst. At that mont…
“Hehehe.”
“What are you laughing at?”
Kage snorted at Kaine’s question and pushed out her chest.
“Finally, the day has co for to get my revenge on you, Master!”
“What are you talking about? Anyone would think I did sothing bad to you.”
Hearing this, Kage clenched her fists in anger. Kaine didn’t know, but Kage had been waiting for this day to get back at Kaine for all the tis he had teased her.
Every ti he had the chance, he would pat her on the head, and when she finally saved up enough allowance to buy ice cream and snacks, he would steal them from her.
‘Finally, it’s ti to teach Master a lesson!’
As Kage was daydreaming about Kaine kneeling and offering ice cream and snacks to her, she…
“What are you spacing out for?”
Approached her and slapped her on the head.
“Ouch!”
Kaine cried out in pain in the training ground. Kage blushed and gritted her teeth, as usual.
“Hmph! You were thinking about sothing, weren’t you?”
“What? If you’re going to hit , I’ll hit you back.”
“Hmph, we’ll see!”
Kaine activated her body enhancent.
‘Hmm. Let’s see how much she’s grown.’
Kaine relaxed his body, ready to spar. But…
“Woong!”
Kage’s fist was already in front of him.
‘What the hell?!’
The unexpected speed caught Kaine off guard, and he couldn’t dodge in ti, taking Kage’s punch.
“Kreeee!”
Kaine rolled on the ground and quickly got up.
“How did you grow so much all of a sudden?!”
“Well… I was hiding my strength!”
Kage’s face was awkwardly stiff, indicating that she was just as surprised by her sudden growth.
‘She must have discovered her strength for the first ti.’
Perhaps the reason for her sudden growth was the rapid developnt of her body. Otherwise, there was no reason for her to be so surprised.
‘Sigh… I can’t let my guard down.’
Kage had beco much stronger than expected. If I let my guard down, I might lose to her and be teased for years.
‘That’s absolutely unacceptable.’
I could tolerate anything else, but being teased by that brat? My pride wouldn’t allow it.
“Hyaaa!”
Yes, let’s test my aura. I hadn’t had a chance to test the aura I obtained the other day.
The ocean-like aura flowed through my circuits, replacing my magic.
‘Hmm.’
Perhaps it was because I had been using magic like aura.
‘This is more than my mana.’
Kaine finished enhancing his body and…
“You take one too!”
Kaine punched Kage in the sa way she had attacked him, but…
“Woong!”
Kage easily dodged his attack by turning her head. At the sa ti…
“One more!”
Kage punched again with a delighted expression.
‘This brat is having too much fun.’
Her expression seed playful, but in reality…
‘How much has she grown? Damn!’
She was on a completely different level.
But…
“Phew…”
Unlike before, Kaine caught her punch with one hand. Although her attack was formidable, it wasn’t enough to break through his enhanced body.
‘Of course, my hand hurts like hell.’
What should I do?
In fact, I could end it here. I had a good idea of how much Kage had grown.
‘I don’t think she’ll lose to a branch leader.’
No, she might even surpass him.
Kage was also holding back, just like Kaine.
‘If she goes all out…’
Without using magic, it would be difficult to win.
Anyway, ending it like this felt a bit unsatisfying.
‘Yes, I need to land one more hit to feel satisfied.’
It might seem petty, but I was justified in doing so against Kage.
I was certain that if I ended it like this, she would tease for years.
‘For years…’
Kaine decided to end it with one hit.
Instead of using aura, he used color setting and attribute assignnt to release Demonic magic.
“Brat, take this!”
Kaine punched Kage’s head, where the bump was.
“Huh?!”
Kage was so surprised that Kaine would attack her seriously that her eyes widened.
“Hyaaa!”
Another bump appeared on Kage’s head, making it three bumps in total.
Kage’s face turned red and blue, and she released her aura frantically as she charged towards Kaine.
“Hmph! Let’s end this! I know your level now!”
Contrary to her expectations, Kaine ended the sparring.
“Hiiii! Why? Continue! Master!”
Kage lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum like a child in a cartoon.
“Nope. I know your level now.”
Kaine refused her tantrum with a smirk, and the people watching couldn’t help but think…
‘What a petty guy.’
They all had the sa thought.
Kage’s dream was shattered by Kaine’s cowardly thod.
.
.
.
anwhile…
“I never imagined that I would fail.”
This ti, the plan was to confirm the success of the first wave.
‘I never imagined that there would be a saintess and Mira in that place.’
In fact, it was known that it was not the constellation but Mira who saved the Aberdeen Estate. If the news spread that the constellation had done it, it might have drawn attention to the Aberdeen Estate, so Mira told the lords that she had solved the problem.
Andrew also believed this information.
‘Sigh. But it’s okay. We only lost one branch leader.’
This plan wasn’t that important anyway. It was just a test to see if the wave would work.
‘But if we keep getting beaten like this, it’s not good.’
Andrew slowly opened his eyes and called out to one of his subordinates, a muscular man with a fierce face nad John.
“John.”
“Yes, Andrew!”
John knelt down and answered loudly, like a new recruit.
“Take the beastkin traitor branch leader and so sub-branch leaders to start a wave.”
“Where should I start it, Andrew?”
“The next place is…”
Andrew trailed off and continued in a calm voice…
“The David Estate.”
Thus, the first war between the cult and the David Estate began earlier than in the original story.
