Chapter 136: End of the Experiment

　The female knights are mouths agape as they look at and  compare the three of us. Apparently, they had come to use the shower room in the indoor training area. Their clothes were stained with sweat and dirt, probably after they had finished training.

“Ah, ah…”

“Ju, three Julius-sama’s!?”

“It’s increasing!?”

　The knights began to fuss. This is not good. Mira saw the scene and began to imitate their movements. I could tell which Julius was Mira and which Lionel, but the others naturally could not. All eyes were on Mira, who suddenly began to act strangely.

“Ju, Julius-sama!?”

“What in the world is this? ……”

　The knights were increasingly perplexed. Then, a call in a thundering voice was heard.

“Calm down, guys. Close that door first.”

“Eh, ……?　Uh, yes.”

　One of the puzzled knights closed the door. This should make it harder for their voices to leak out. The knights now looked at Lionel, who had ordered them. They look more and more confused because he looks like me.

“Sorry to startle you. I’m trying out a new potion right now.”

“Huh.”

“Well, this is Lionel and this is Mira.”

　Their eyes widened. That’s surprising, isn’t it? If I were in the opposite situation, I would have done the same thing.

“Com-Commander?!”

“M-my apologies, sir.”

　The female knights saluting. They did not expect it to be Lionel. As was the case earlier, it is apparently eye-poppingly surprising to see the ogre commander in such a cute form.

“That’s fine. That’s why I can play the role of a decoy.”

“A decoy?”

　Apparently, Lionel feels a sense a relief at the fact that his true identity was not revealed even to his own Knight’s. Women are especially perceptive. If he could fool their eyes, he would have no problem spying on other countries.

“Actually. ……”

　I told the situation to the knights who would know nothing about it. It seems that only a few of the knights had been informed and were surprised to hear the story.

“That’s why I’m going to ask you guys to cooperate with me now that you’ve heard about this.”

“Of course.”

　All three answered in the affirmative. It seemed that everything was going to be all right here. In the meantime, Lionel’s transformation potion seemed to run out of time. He began to grow taller.

“Julius-sama, it seems that the effect of the magic potion has worn off.”

“I understand. I’ll take care of Mira, don’t worry.”

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go …….”

　And with that, Lionel quickly made his way to the private room. I know how he feels. If he returns to his original form in the current state, it will look ridiculous. In the meantime, the knights went to take a shower. That’s why they had come to this place.

“Mira doesn’t seem to be getting back to her old self~.”

“Kyu?”

“Don’t tell me she’s not going to go back to her original form. ……”

　I’m getting worried. What if she stays like this forever? I wouldn’t want to be alone with her, would I? Just as I was getting more and more anxious, Lionel, who had returned to his normal form, came out of the private room.

“Good work, Lionel.”

“I had a valuable experience”

　Lionel says so with care, but his face looks a little drawn. Maybe he really doesn’t like it. I just hope that this issue will be resolved soon.

　While I was talking to Lionel, the knights returned. Again they were amazed that It was really Lionel.

“Julius-sama, if I take that transformation potion, will I become like you too?’

“It should happen, but I haven’t tried it on …… women, so I don’t know how it would work. Oh, I won’t try it on you if you look at me like that!”

　Why do you look like you want to try it? What are you going to do when you’re in my form?　You’re scaring me. As I pulled back slightly, I finally saw a change in Mira’s appearance.

“Oh, looks like the effect of Mira’s magic potion seems to be wearing  off. Let’s go, Mira. Let’s go wash your body before you completely revert back to your original form.”

“Julius-sama, I will help you!”

“Me too, me too!”

“No, no, that’s a bit…”

　Oh no, their eyes are shining. I didn’t expect them to have the “shotacon” attribute. No wonder they didn’t return to the dormitory after taking their shower.

　Somehow, I managed to refuse them and took Mira into the shower room with me. Mira’s body was beginning to shrink. I hurriedly undressed her and quickly washed her body.

　It was hard to get her out of her clothes. If I have to use the transformation potion on Mira again, I will prepare a bathrobe for her. It would be easier to change her clothes that way.

“Kyu!”

　Mira is completely back to normal while washing her body. Just to be sure, I check to see if there is anything wrong with her body. It seems that everything is fine. Her beautiful white fur is still intact.

“When I listen to Mira, I think a lick of the transformation potion would be just the trick. Then you’ll be back to your normal form in about ten minutes, and we can do it in my room.”*

　I’ll have to get a bathrobe ready first. If I do it before I go to bed, no one will come to my room.

　I wiped Mira’s body thoroughly with a towel and used magic to dry her hair. It took me only a few minutes to finish drying her hair. Magic is very useful, isn’t it? It is much easier than magic tools.
