Flor woke up three months after accepting the title. This fact made her realize how correct her choice to delay it truly was. Of course, Flor was confused. Why did she need to sleep for so long just for accepting a Title?
Flor sat up on Ignatia's bed, looking around curiously. She couldn't help but tilt her head as things looked quite different. She extended her hand, taking a straw at the side with confusion. 'It is… smaller?'
Not wanting to delay much, Flor sat back on her bed and first checked her new title.
Flor read the description and blinked twice. 'Hm… What?' She looked around, confused. 'Am I sleeping or something?' She just couldn't process the text properly. She read it again, this time aloud. "Let's see… You've gained the aura of… Once you gain this and that… As long as I have…" Flor read everything again and finally reacted.
"WHAT IN THE BRANCHES ABOVE IS THIS!?"
She read it again and again, but the words didn't change, making her freak out. "What is this ridiculous Title!? Broken! My System is broken!"
[The System is not broken.]
"YOU DARE ANSWER AFTER ALMOST GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK!?" Flor paused and then opened the system. "Right, my race… Race…" Flor saw the system page, and her eyes widened, going full round. "HA!?"

"WHAT IS THIS!?" Flor pointed at the empty space before her where she saw the System Page, her face hysterical. "T-THIS IS NOT ME! I HAVE ENTERED THE BODY OF ANOTHER PERSON!"
"Tsk. What's with all this ruckus after you wake up?"
Flor heard the soft and alluring voice of a woman she knew very well and turned to look. Seeing Ignatia standing at the entrance of the room with her arms crossed under her large breasts gave her both a familiar and unfamiliar feeling. 'She is a bit different… NOT. AREN'T I IN THE BODY OF A STRANGER!?'
"I-IGNATIA! ARE YOU SEEING ANOTHER WOMAN!?"
Ignatia, even with her unchanging compound black eyes, was able to form an utterly baffled face. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
Flor pointed at herself. "You are with this person, who is clearly not me!"
Ignatia looked at Flor intently, her black insectoid eyes making Flor feel somewhat uncomfortable from how penetrating that gaze was. Finally, Ignatia asked. "Have you hit your head?"
Flor almost spat blood in pure indignation. "Y-Y-Y-YOU!"
Ignatia laughed and walked over, looking at the "new" Flor. She completely ignored the hysterical Fairy and muttered. "But I must say, you've really changed quite a lot. You are not much larger, but… Your aura is immense. I actually feel intimidated, as expected of 'The' Flower Fairy, I guess."
Flor glared at Ignatia for a few more seconds, but eventually, she gave up and fell down with a poof. After that, she finally accepted that she was indeed herself and no strange things had happened other than, well, the complete transformation of herself. She sighed and ruffled her hair. "Hm?"
Looking at her pristine hand holding her long hair, she couldn't help but relax. What entered her sight was gorgeous red hair that resembled the color of a moisturized red rose flower.
"So this hasn't changed."
Ignatia heard the relief in Flor's voice and smiled. "Your eyes haven't changed as well. They are as pretty as a shiny ruby~."
Flor blushed a bit and smiled, answering a bit bashfully. "I see…"
Ignatia looked behind Flor and laughed. "Although… Your wings are completely and utterly different."
"Huh?"
Moving her wings forward, the Flower Fairy turned to look and noticed that instead of the leafy green wings, she now had wings as thin as cicada wings of a pinkish color. They looked gorgeous when light reflected on them, creating a pretty glitter around them. "Ohh!" Flor couldn't say that she didn't like this change. Flapping her wings, the Flower Fairy left a beautiful trail, making her shine adorably.
However, Flor, being Flor, was very quick to frown and complain. "Aren't they too thin? If I receive one blow on them, they will break!"
Ignatia extended her hands, grabbing the wings. Flor felt a tingly sensation and jumped with an adorable scream. "Kya!"
The Ant Queen quickly released Flor's wings while feeling her heart squeeze because of how adorable she looked. 'She is so cute!' Still, they were trying to see the wing's durability, so Ignatia said. "Dear, stay still. I'll grab your wings and pull slowly, okay? If you feel pain, tell me and I'll stop."
Flor coughed and sat back down. Then, she tensed her face. "Okay, do it! I need to know how durable they are in order to fight correctly and protect Liu Shu!"
Ignatia smiled and extended her hands, grabbing one of the semi-transparent pinkish wings. Flor felt the same tingly sensation, but knowing that it was coming, she tensed and resisted.
"I am starting."
Flor nodded and felt Ignatia starting to pull. She felt nothing at first, so she took the chance to speak with her. "Speaking of that big girl. How is she doing?"
Ignatia shook her head. "She is still Leveling Up. We are about to enter another conflict soon as well, so I am a bit worried… Well." Ignatia looked at Flor and smiled. "I was worried. With you awake, we might actually have a chance."
"Conflict? Again? Who is attacking us this time?"
Ignatia smiled. "No one is attacking this place. After the news of Elowen's 10,000-soldier army's annihilation spread around, there is no sane power that wants to risk attacking us. To breach a defense that can exterminate 10,000 people without a single survivor, you need at least five to ten times those numbers… Hey, are you not feeling it?"
Flor blinked. "Huh? You are not putting much strength into it, right? I am feeling a bit of tension, but it is similar to a pinch."
Ignatia looked at Flor with a speechless expression. "I am using a quarter of my strength, Flor. You only feel a pinch?"
Flor nodded honestly. "I do. It's not comfortable, but it is far from reaching the limit."
Ignatia frowned and asked. "What's your current
Flor nodded. "I have new titles that make me stronger around Liu Shu, so I am indeed strengthened… eh?"
Ignatia's lips twitched when hearing the stupid sound coming out of Flor's mouth. "How high is your
Flor looked at Ignatia and stuttered. "O-One thousand two hundred and ninety-two…"
Ignatia repeated, baffled. "1,292?"
Flor nodded, her face a mix of surprise and confusion. Ignatia sighed. "That's quite high for someone who's specialized in Aether… You are still specialized in
Flor nodded again and said. "After receiving just my own passive buffs, I have… Oh…"
Ignatia sighed, seeing Flor's disbelief, and she waited for the next absurd number. "How high is it?"
Flor muttered. "2,780…"
"Oh." Ignatia deadpanned. "If I hadn't advanced to Level 25 myself, you would've completely obliterated me, eh? Flower Fairies are really scary…"
Flor asked, confused. "Why have my stats skyrocketed this much after reaching Level 25?"
Ignatia asked. "Read me the title again."
Flor did so, and after hearing it, Ignatia smiled. "Love, you are not E Tier anymore. You've advanced and reached the D Tier because you are Level 25. You have increased a major
Flor hummed and commented. "So, if I had become a Flower Fairy before giving Amapola the

Hearing that guess, Flor smiled. "Then, I am glad I could pass it down. Only by planting seeds that can grow into trees that don't rest in your shadow can you prosper as a species."
Ignatia laughed faintly and leaned down, kissing her head. "Agreed. Speaking of which, congratulations on gaining 15 centimeters in height~. You are officially 60 centimeters high! Well… more or less."
Flor smiled proudly. "That's great!"
