114 9. The Battle of Women (1/2)

Near lunch the next day, Tiara Rose was finally able to talk to Saravia.

The place is a guest room like a guest, sitting on the couch opposite each other. Keith and Pearl are behind Tiara Rose, and Izette is holding back behind Saravia.

”Hey, but you're really cute. Adult kittens were beautiful too, but they look adorable too”

”... don't tell me about Salamander, because it's good about me. I can't stay like this, so I want to go back.”

When Tiara Rose says so, Saravia laughs bitterly.

”Right...... Sure, if you're gonna be my wife, you better look like an adult.”

”Sire Saravia, I am serious!

If you're kidding me any more, Tiara Rose will not forgive me.

”I'm sorry. I can get Salamander to meet me, but it might be pretty hard to negotiate to give me back my magic.”

”It's...”

”Even I hung up on you to give back the magic of your kitten....... but his reply is not very colourful”

He said the negotiations would still continue, but the situation was rather harsh.

I wonder if Tiara Rose has any way... but I can't think of a good idea. Is it not possible in a way that gives little by little, not enough magic at once?

That way, we can handle Saravia and there's no need for Tiara Rose to remain small.

”In the meantime, do you want me to call Salamander?

”Right...... Can I ask you a favor?

”Oh.”

When Tiara Rose nodded at Saravia's suggestion, the knock sounded just as if she had anticipated the timing.

”Hmm? I told you not to disturb anyone...”

”It could be an urgent requirement, right?

When Saravia glanced at the door and Izette responded...... it was Aquasteed who was due to arrive in two days.

”What!?”

The most surprising thing about it is, of course, Tiara Rose.

Keith and Pearl seemed to know by the signs, flat even when Aquasteed sees them.

”Pretty soon, huh?”

”Somehow, yeah.... What about Tiara?

Before saying hello, Aquasteed realizes he doesn't have the person he's after. I thought Keith and Pearl, plus Saravia, couldn't have been without Tiara Rose.

Saravia laughs at the way it looks.

”Aqua really likes kittens.”

”Because it's my wife. Your Majesty Saravia seems to be in the same mood as ever...... hmm?

Tiara Rose, which is solidified in a cocoon on the couch, appeared in Aquasteed's eyes.

…………

I see. I want to hold my head, but I'll put up with it a lot longer there.

”This is another lovely young lady.”

”-!”

- Hih, Master Aqua has spoken to me!!

Whatever you do, Tiara Rose's head is in disarray. I never really talked to him, but would Aquasteed like kids?

Or will they hate themselves for taking this upon themselves?

The anxiety I had in mind pushes me at once.

As Tiara Rose was about to answer, she saw Aquasteed as Saravia teased her.

”Me and my kitten's daughter.”

”Don't make stupid jokes”

”I'm sorry about Nori”

Aquasteed goes all the way under the little tiara rose and gently hugs its body.

”That guy only tells jokes, so you better not deal with him”

”Huh!

”Yeah? You could hold me up, didn't you?

”Yes, no eh! Love it......!

I feel Aquasteed right around the corner because of the hug. The pleasant smell was very reassuring, and Tiara Rose probably shook her head before hugging her all over its neck.

Until just now, I've been thinking about how to get through this situation, but I can't be touched anymore. 'Cause I missed Aquasteed and I couldn't help but miss him.

”That's good”

Aquasteed smiles and gently strokes Tiara Rose's head.

”That's cute, Twin Tails. Beautiful hair too.”

”Huh?... Oh, thank you”

Praised by the pretense, Tiara Rose has an unexpected fever in her face.

And the word could come up in the back of my brain...

- Dear Aqua, don't you even realize I'm here?

Maybe you think it's some kid.

- Right, it's impossible that people's bodies will be smaller if they think about it normally.

When Tiara Rose is elsewhere, she concludes she thinks so. While relieved that he wasn't immediately pissed off, Tiara Rose indulges in him holding onto Aquasteed.

- You look like a kid, so you'll be fine for a little while, right?

I can't be ashamed of myself if I look like an adult, but if I were a child, I would be critically forgiven.... Well, other than Aquasteed, he finds out it's Tiara Rose.

”Do you want to be sweet? How old?”

”Uh, six years old...”

”Right. So, are you a fine lady already?

”Yes! Absolutely.”

Tiara Rose nods instantly at the words of the dull laughing Aquasteed. I can't afford to waste my time being told I'm a lady and I'm just a kid.

Keith laughs at the reaction. Speaking of Tiara Rose, she puts a finger to her mouth and sends a gesture called 'Shh' that if she laughs, she may say it's herself.

”Yeah? What's up, Tiara?”

”No, nothing...... what, eh!? Did you even notice me?!?”

Lightly Aquasteed calls me by my name and blues my face for what I had found out for so long. I was happy and hugged until now, but I feel like it collapsed in a flash.

”Yes, since when...”

When Tiara Rose asks Aquasteed with a trembling voice, she asks for an answer.

”From the beginning”

”Saiso!?”

”You said you'd know about Tiara, didn't you?

”Ugh...”

Speaking of which, I do recall that when I took a walk in the morning garden, I was told, 'I know a lot about Tiara'.

I can't believe you know it's not just thoughts, but even if they look different......! and.

But if you do, Tiara Rose will behave in one way.

”Oh, I'm embarrassed... I'm going down, please put me down...”

”Huh? It was so sweet.”

”If you think Master Aqua is a child, well... what a thought. I'm so embarrassed right now, everyone is watching!

Rammed in Aquasteed's arms, Tiara Rose manages to escape and go down to the floor.

”If Aqua also noticed, don't do anything confusing...”

”Sorry, Tiara's kind of cute”

That said, Aquasteed sits next to Tiara Rose, who sat on the couch.

”So? How is this happening... of course there's an explanation? Keith, Your Majesty Saravia”

Behind the dusty, smiling aquasteed, it was as if Blizzard was blowing.

With a sigh, a voice sounded indoors containing a shudder of ”I see”.

Aquasteed who had the pale hope that if unilaterally Tiara Rose had been damaged and her body had become smaller...... but from what I heard, it still included a runoff of Tiara Rose.

I was wondering if I would do something, but after all, Aquasteed laughs bitterly.

”Keith, too, pay a little more attention to Tiara's behavior... you should have forced me to stop”
