Chapter 003: We're finally in the other world! (One)

Once I regained rassy field

I looked down, staring at li eous, and I definitely knew her from somewhere

“Erm, are you Haruksan?”

“Yes, and you're Nao?”

“Yep, that's right”

Her answer confirmed my suspicions

She definitely looked different from her previous self, but there was still some of Haruka's aura left in this new person

And… Did she get shorter?

Haruka used to be quite a tall girl, almost 170c before me was shorter than that, and her proportions… Let's just say that she's gotten a lot slimmer

“…What?”

Haruka narrowed her eyes at e, you've just become beautiful! Guess that's the standard for Elves!”

I shookthe subject

Haruka had always been pretty, so this change wasn't too much of a shock, but she certainly looked a little ethereal now

Well, that's because she's no longer human

“Hmph, you chose to become an Elf too, Nao Just as I'd suspected”

Haruka averted her gaze as she spoke

I thought I spotted a slight blush on her cheeks

Yep, I guess she never expected her childhood friend to call her ‘beautiful'

“Oi oi, I know you two are close, but please stop ignoring me!”

A voice sounded from behind me, and I quickly turned around to see… A furry?

There were dog-like ears on his head, and a bushy tail sprouting from his butt

And his face… Oh, I see It was Tomoya

Aside froed

“Oh, it's you What are you? A dog?”

“A wolf, idiot! As a furry lover, beco a kemono was my only choice!”

Tomoya puffed out his chest with pride, his ears and tail twitching with happiness

That was just like hi a kemono is kinda pointless Don't you think?” I asked

“Well, gotta agree with you there But! What if keet a chance toet away like that!!!”

Listening to his rant, I got the sense that To his race

Not that I agreed with hiuess I could sympathize a little

I mean, a kemono bride does sound quite exotic

“He up and down at Tomoya's new form

“W-What? Am I in your way?”

“I never said that… Besides, we could do with having a shi+eld”

“Oi, what did you just call me? A shi+eld!?”

“O ho ho ho, what luck~ You'll be of such great use to us, as a living shi+eld!”

Tomoya's eyes widened at Haruka's whispered threat, but before he could retaliate, she'd already turned aith a grin

To others, this exchangewith each other Yes, thatI was able to find you guys even though ere nothing but shades,” Haruka uys!” Toreed

“M-Me too It ether!!” I added hurriedly as they nodded at each other approvingly

I couldn't bring myself to tell them that I totally couldn't tell anyone apart back there!!

“Oh? Well, yes, that must have been it Anyway… I don't see anyone around here who looks like our classether now”

Haruka sounded a little suspicious of ood look around us

I walked to stand beside her She was right, there was nobody in sight, let alone any classmates

And thanks to my nek's Eye' skill, I could see rassy fields, forests, and so turn of events Even now, I still don't knoe got lucky or not,” I sighed

“Let's think of it as a blessing in disguise​ We can't change the fact that weover it now,” Haruka gave a wry grin as she shrugged

“Well, I count et myself a keh I couldn't bring ht of my parents

We e the fact that we're dead in the previous one I guess I'll need souise', as Haruka calls it
