Chapter 906 – Trouble With the Great Replacement

000

A suspicious fairy who suddenly appears and then suddenly disappears again.

However, what she left behind at her party was a bigger blow than she expected.

When the fog cleared and everyone looked around to make sure they were safe.

The scene unfolding there was a little – no, quite different – from the usual party.

＂…＂

The group looked at each other with surprised expressions.

The reason is that the line the party spoke just a moment ago was something they would never say in normal times.

The expression on his face was quite different compared to before.

Since they had been together for a long time, they were not so indifferent to each other that they could not notice the difference.

＂Ah-…＂

In a situation where neither of them could say anything, Sasha carefully opened her mouth.

She spoke in a lower voice than usual and looked a little annoyed while scratching her head.

＂… Unless I’m dreaming… Everything. “You don’t have a mind in your body, do you?”

＂As expected, it was like that… I suddenly felt heavy while the smoke was spreading… ＂

When Kuon mumbled at Sasha’s words, she let out a sigh as she put her hand to her forehead.

“Now, wait a minute! Are you saying my body is heavy…?”

When Amelia complained to Kuon, waving her arms, Lila made a surprised face and spoke to Amelia.

“Well, then. “Is Kuon inside my body right now?”

It was a tone of voice that Cleon could never have spoken, but his voice was slightly raised, so everyone felt a shiver run down their spines and trembled for a moment.

Of course, Sasha too.

“… This makes it clear. You gave me something that didn’t make sense and was done in a low-quality manner.”

Yes, Sasha – no, it’s clear as Cleon said.

The body and soul of the party were randomly switched.

Amelia is inside Cleon, Cuon is inside Amelia, Lila is inside Cuon, Sasha is inside Lila, and Cleon is inside Sasha.

It was unclear whether the soul had actually changed or whether it was some kind of hypnosis, but Cleon’s memories clearly remained in him.

So, you might think this is truly mind-altering.

“If it were to be said to be magic befitting a mischievous fairy, then all I can say is that. A magic that changes a person’s body and mind is performed right in front of your eyes without any preparation. How did you get it back? Those called fairies.”

When Kuon spoke with a nervous expression that he would never have, he was revealing that it was Laila.

And, when I try to cross my arms like I normally do to think, my arms get caught in the fat on my chest and I can’t cross them properly.

Lyla looked down at Kuon’s body, which was now hers, as it bounced and touched her soft breasts.

＂… Hu, hu…＂

“Wait Lila!? “Don’t make strange noises!”

Beside, Amelia – no, Kuon says that and hits Lila on the shoulder.

Pow! If there is a sound, Lila will let out her scream.

＂Oh, sorry.＂

“I don’t know if it’s because I got hit with Kuon’s body or Amelia’s body, but it hurts…”

It must have been so painful that she cried, and Lila was rubbing her shoulder.

Looking at her like that, Cleon couldn’t help but sigh.

“There’s more work to do. First, she goes back to her original body. To do that, it would be a good idea to find that clown rabbit fairy from earlier.”

The name of the fairy was a strange one, even if she said it herself.

However, Cleon felt eyes on him and looked around.

＂Why, why are you like that?＂

＂No… What should I say. I didn’t know much about it normally. Sasha, you were able to make that kind of expression.”

When Lila says that, Amelia, who is inside Cleon, also nods her head.

“Yes. She spoke in a slightly manly tone, and her voice was also low. I was a little excited without even realizing it.”

With Cleon’s body, his face was blushing a little.

＂Huh!? Well, that’s because it was Mr. Cleon who went inside!”

“It’s not the time for everyone to be so carefree…”

Kuon just sighed and looked a little tired of the group’s reactions.

＂… Huh. Anyway, the question is whether you can deal with a dangerous situation like this. Amelia. “Would you like to give me the sword?”

“Ah! That’s right… I need to make sure I can respond if a battle breaks out.”

Amelia nodded her head to Cleon’s words, unfastened the Galatea and Caliburns from her waist, and her slashes, and handed them to Cleon, her original master.

Cleon also tried to accept the three sacks from Amelia without any thought, but-

＂Wow…!＂

When three sacks were placed on both of his arms at the same time, Cleon could not bear the weight and his arms went straight down, forcing him to drop all three sacks on the floor.

[Smash!]

[It hurts~!]

When Galatea and Caliburn, who had fallen to the ground, spoke out, Cleon, who had to use Sasha’s body, looked desperate and looked at the swords on the ground.

“I wonder if Sasha’s strength is enough…!”

＂S-sorry…＂

When Sasha tries to apologize to Lila for crying over her body, Cleon shakes her head and talks to her.

“Oh, no, it’s okay. It’s not that Sasha is bad… Galatea! You can reduce her body size like usual!”

[It is possible, but…]

When Galatea said that, Galatea on the ground gradually reduced the size of her body, and soon became the size of a small sotshod, matching Sasha’s height instead of Cleon’s.

Only after reaching that size was Cleon able to lift Galatea and swing her lightly.

“Okay… Then, I’ll ask for Caliburn too.”

[Yes~]

Subsequently, after Caliban was reduced to the size of Galatea, Cleon was able to hold a sword in each hand.

Even so, it was a little heavy.

If there is a problem…

[Hey! Me!?]

It was a slash the size of a moon, still lying on the ground.

Since Slash is neither a holy sword nor a demonic sword, but a sword with a definite substance, it cannot reduce its body size on its own.

Considering its nature of absorbing blood and becoming heavy, it was a weapon that could not be wielded with Sasha’s body.

＂… Please keep the slash as is, Amelia. Because it seems like it would be difficult for Sasha’s body.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Then. Please take care of me for a while, Slash.”

In the end, Slash returned to hanging on Amelia’s waist.

“If Cleon is like that, we’ll have a harder time…”

Kuon looks down at his body while saying that.

In Amelia’s case, she is not armed and uses her magical body construction to manifest her weapons through transformation.

Is that even possible now that Kuon is inside Amelia…

“Okay? “I’m pretty good at it, right?”

Then, Laila lifted Kuon’s staff and aimed it in the direction of nothing.

And then-

＂Gathering winds, become a sharp blade and tear the enemy to pieces! Gale Thrust!”

Wow! And, the blade of the wind pressure scraped the ground, manifesting the vicious wind magic that moves forward.

“Now, wait a minute, Lila!? I’ve never learned magic like that!”

“Because I know it through knowledge. I see, when my body changes, my elemental affinity also changes, so I can use magic other than the fire attribute!”

In the case of Kuon, he has divine magic and some affinity for wind attribute magic, so even though he cannot use fire magic, which Lila specializes in, he was able to use that magic.

Just-

＂Uh, uh…＂

The next moment, when Lila stumbles, she touches the ground with her cane.

“That’s a lie, right? Magical power…”

＂Ugh…＂

Kuon’s magical power was by no means small, but compared to Lila, who boasted a monster-like magical power, she was definitely on a lower level.

Lila didn’t think about that either, and instead used her Kuon’s magic power to use powerful magic, causing her body to react negatively to the sudden consumption of magic power.

＂Joe, you have to be careful…＂

“I’m asking you a favor… No, more than that. Can you use healing magic?”

When Kuon asks her, as if to confirm, Lila looks down at her shoulder, where she was hurting earlier, and closes her eyes.

＂E-… So. Healing magic is… A prayer…”

＂…＂

Kuon’s hand, which would normally emit warm light just by holding her hand, no longer appears.

“Um… Ah, I don’t think that’s possible?”

Even though she was a magic genius, she had no knowledge of healing magic using divine magic.

Then, if you think the opposite-

Kuon looks down at her hands, then puts her hand on Lila’s shoulder.

From Amelia’s small hands, her divine magic flowed powerfully, wrapping around her body.

＂Wow…!＂

However, as if Kuon had no idea that so much magic power would flow out, he quickly stopped the magic and looked at Amelia in Cleon’s body.

＂Amelia’s magic power is basically high output… As expected of a Saint Princess.＂

“I was surprised too. Even when I used healing magic, it didn’t come out that way, but it does happen if you follow the right procedures. Can I learn from Kuon later?”

＂Push…!＂

Perhaps it was strange for Cleon to use a respectful language, but Laila could be heard bursting into laughter, unable to hold back.

＂… Anyway, with this, Kuon can take over the role of her recovery… ＂

This time, the group’s eyes turn to where Lila is.

＂Eh… Well, so…＂

Of course, what’s inside Lila is Sasha.

She is a girl who has little to do with magic.

If she were to suddenly enter Lila’s body and ask if she could use her magic, she wouldn’t.

Magic is a discipline that understands the construction of a magic formula, uses magic power through one’s own body, and intervenes in natural phenomena to activate the effects of the magic formula.

I feel sorry for Sasha, but unless she ignores the process like Cleon and only borrows the result through imprinting, she is not the type of power that can be used without any knowledge.

＂Ugh… I’m sorry. I guess I can’t use magic after all.”

“No, it’s okay. Sasha. Did you see what Lila and Kuon did? It’s not about using the body’s power, it’s about using the body in your own way.”

＂My way?＂

After hearing Cleon’s advice, Sasha looked as if she couldn’t understand what he was saying, and then took Lila’s staff, which she was carrying on her back, in her hand.

It’s a completely different type of weapon than the bow she usually uses.

However, when it comes to arrows – didn’t she usually materialize them with magic?

Even though she couldn’t use magic, constructing simple objects was possible for Sasha.

If so-

Good luck! And a flame appeared at the tip of Sasha’s head.

The staff Lyla held in her hand was also engulfed in flame magic, taking the form of a longbow in her hand.

＂Wow…! It’s okay, it’s okay!”

Impressed by what she’s done on her own, Sasha jumps up and runs towards her Cleon (and therefore her own body).

Cleon accepted her with some stumbling, perhaps because he was not used to being hugged by Lila, who was almost the same height as her.

But at that time, Cleon could see that something was upright and shaking on Laila’s red head.

“Ah… Sasha? Above your head…”

＂Yes?＂

Sasha touches the top of her head with her hand after hearing Cleon’s words.

Then, there were animal ears on her, just like the ones on her original body.

＂Ahh!?＂

“Well… I thought so…”

As Lila sighed, Sasha twirled her body around and looked at her red tail growing out of her ass.

＂Sorry for my sin!?＂

“Ah, yes, it’s okay. Perhaps, Ruben seems to be moved by Sasha’s spirit… When she returns to her original body, her tail and ears will also disappear.”

Lila smiled bitterly, saying it was something that could not be helped, and Sasha bowed her head and apologized several times with a tearful expression on her face.

… The scene where Lila bows down and apologizes to Kuon was quite refreshing.

“Then everyone. “I guess I can assume there’s no problem, right?”

＂Um, over there…＂

As Cleon said that, Amelia carefully raised her hand.

＂Can I… Fight with slash?＂

As for Amelia, she originally fought by strengthening her magic and strength through transformation using crystals, but it was doubtful that she would be able to do that in Cleon’s body –

For a moment, an image of Cleon transformed into Amelia appeared in the group’s minds and then disappeared.

Cleon, wearing shiny white armor and holding a huge hammer… That sight with his blonde hair flowing.

It was so awkward that it didn’t look good.

“Oh, of course, it’s nothing…”

＂Yeah… Right?＂

Amelia must have sensed this awkwardness as she closed her mouth after saying those words, and Cleon also nodded.

“Anyway. Let’s go in the direction Lila pointed earlier. You might be able to get some information about that fairy from earlier.”

＂For some reason, I feel like things are increasing more and more. Is it just my mood…?＂

When Cleon tries to take the lead, Kuon says what everyone was thinking.

There was silence among the group for a moment, but everyone just sighed and shook their heads.

Because I remembered that this party was originally like this.

Trouble broke out indiscriminately, but whatever happened.

The party had taken their first step in Fairy Village.
