Chapter 55: Activation of Sister Attribute!
Ah!
Shikibu's movement reminded me.
It could be Shiro's teleportation magic!
However, it might be Kuro's shadow movement.
Since the previous attempt failed, it's too risky if it's not certain.
"Is the testing ground currently available?" I asked Ilia.
"Yes, there's no schedule for this time, so it should be available," Ilia replied.
"There's another clue in that disturbance, but I'll use the testing ground to confirm. Could you check with the measuring device?" I asked Ilia to open the testing ground's door to ensure no cheating.
I never intended to keep Shiro and Kuro a secret.
That remains the same even after knowing they are special magical beasts.
"Shiro, come here!" I called Shiro, not really directing her anywhere in particular.
The moment she appeared above us, an alarm-like sound came from the guildmaster's room.
Now, I'm sure it's Shiro's teleportation magic.
I embraced Shiro in front of me.
"Thank you. Shall we go back?" I asked Ilia, but she seemed to lose strength and collapsed.
"Ilia, are you okay?" My voice seemed to bring her back.
"I'm sorry, I'm fine," she replied while standing up, but she seemed fidgety, unlike her usual self.
"Are you feeling unwell?" I asked with concern.
"No, is that an Eternal Cat, by any chance, my lord?" she inquired.
"Yes, that's right. You know about it well," I replied.
"Of course! The legendary 'cat-type beast person.' I've been curious since the exam, but I never expected to see it with my own eyes!" she exclaimed.
I see, the observation during the exam was directed at Shiro.
Shiro is considered a legend among the feline beast people.
Wait, cat-type beast person?
"Shiro, can you transform into a human form?" I asked.
"Yes, it's possible. In terms of mobility, this form is more convenient, so I discussed it with Kuro and decided to stay in this form. Do you prefer the human appearance?" she replied.
Kuro can transform too?
Legendary-class magical beasts are truly amazing.
Could this be one of the reasons they are also called sacred beasts?
"For now, can you try transforming once?" I requested.
"Yes, understood," she replied.
In an instant, she was enveloped in a dazzling light, and a cat-eared girl appeared.
With translucent white skin and pink twin-tails, her two tails moved adorably.
"It's been hundreds of years, so it's embarrassing," she blushed.
In my previous life, I wasn't particularly interested, and I've seen several cat-eared people, but this is on a whole new level of cuteness!
"I got close to your request, my lord, but it's embarrassing to be stared at so much," she said.
Oops, is this the manifestation of my hidden desires? The sister attribute, I suppose!
Ilia tapped her shoulder from behind.
"May I have the honor of shaking hands with Shiro-sama?" Her eyes sparkled like a devoted fan of an idol.
"Shiro, is it okay?" I asked.
"Yes, I'd be delighted!" she replied with a smile.
With that smile, she could defeat dozens of otaku.
Ilia, trembling, shook hands with her.
As if offering a service to Ilia, Shiro hugged her after the handshake, causing Ilia to be ecstatic.
"Shiro, wait here. I'll call for you later," I said to Shiro, leaving her and carrying Ilia out of the room.
