So these two are really Buchou and Asia after all?”
“Yeah.”
Kiba affirms clearly, and nods his head. I did have a vague feeling they were. They are Buchou and Asia no matter how you look at them. But, why did they turn into little girls? I can’t help but think that they lost their memories as well. However, I don’t think they've completely lost their memories since they called me “Iche”…..
“……I think there was a technique that turns you into little girls.”
Koneko-chan said it quietly as if she remembered something. “Koneko-chan, is there really a technique like that?”
“Yes, since devils can change their appearances depending on their demonic powers.”
The one who answered me is Akeno-san who is pouring tea. She continues and gives me more of an explanation. “You know how it’s said in legends that devils appear in the form of an old lady or small child? That is exactly true, and devils can change their appearance to their liking when they have reached a certain age. It’s normal for a middle-aged woman to have a younger appearance in the world of devils. Instead, the majority of men tend to have the appearance of their true age.”
I see, I see. So you can make your appearance look how you desire depending on how you use your demonic powers. Then, Buchou and Asia turned into little girls by using demonic powers…… and what were they trying to do? “Though, even in those cases you don’t lose your memories…..”
Akeno-san put her hand on her forehead while having a troubled expression. “This is the rebound of the technique.”
Azazel-sensei says while drinking tea. “Rebound?”
Sensei nods at my question. “Yeah, when someone with a high richness of demonic power uses a technique they are not familiar with, sometimes they make a big mistake with it. So, the techniques comes back at them.”
“Then Buchou failed at using the technique? It also seems like they lost their memories.”
“It seems like it. Because of the kickback of the technique, they also had their memories sealed along with temporarily turning into children. But for a devil such as Rias to make a mistake... She probably imagined something else strongly while activating the technique. Anyway, to revert them back to normal we either have to wait for a while or we need to have someone with the power of anti-spell.”
For Buchou to fail a technique……. Seriously, what happened? Even if I look at the mini-Buchou sitting on my lap, she just tilts her head dubiously. “Iche, you have a weird face.”
But, she really is cute! It means that this is her when she was a child, right? No wonder her brother loves her so much! “Uu, Asia also wants to sit……”
From behind me, the teary-eyed mini-Asia says that while looking at the mini-Buchou sitting on my lap, with envious eyes. Aaaaah, even this one is cute! She’s so innocent that my desire as her guardian is becoming very high! That’s weird. I don’t have a slight fetish towards lolis……
Is this perhaps the love that fathers have towards their daughters? Or is it brotherly love towards a sister? Either way, mini-Buchou and mini-Asia are little girls who have more impact than I can imagine! “B-Buchou and Asia-senpai……. they are so adorable……”
The one who says that timidly is Gasper. “Yeah, Gasper. Try making both of them laugh.”
I say something that a senior would say. Gasper is shocked but nods his head slowly. He then searches inside his bag and…… he took out a paper bag. …….. I have a bad feeling about this. ZUN! Gasper made holes in the paper bag using his index-finger and middle-finger…. PUT! And then wears it over his head! I knew it! “Look, Buchou, Asia-senpai. It’s a paper bag~. You get a hundred times more courage when you wear this.”
The two sparkling red eyes which appear from the holes in the paper bag are directed towards the two little girls. “………Fue.”
“………Iya.”
Mini-Buchou and Asia cling to me, and they are shaking! Just as I thought! They are scared! ‘Paper-bag Gasper’ is a no-no! By the way, ‘Paper-bag Gasper’ is the power-up form I gave to the hikikomori-vampire, who has a phobia of other people. By wearing the paper-bag, his heart gets stronger so he can confront other people! But his appearance will turn into that of a pervert, and he becomes a monster who causes great fear to others! That is the end of my explanation! “Heeeeeeeeeeeey! You! Gaspeeeeeer!”
I hit the paper-bag pervert away! Of course! What the heck are you doing!? “W-W-W-W-What are you doing……! ?”
Gasper protests as if he doesn’t understand. “It’s not “What are you doing”! What are you trying to do by approaching Buchou and Asia while turning into your paper-bag form!? They will get scared! You are really scary in that!”
“N-No… I just wanted to tell them that by wearing the paper-bag you will overflow with courage.”
“It won’t! From other people’s perspective, you just look like a perv who is approaching little girls! Damn it! I was dumb for asking you!”
“….. Uu, it was scary.”
“I’m not scared! Rias never cries!”
Asia is shaking and Buchou is acting strong, while clinging to me. They sure are cute! “Oh, it’s alright. It’s okay now, since I have taken down Gasper~”
I pat both of their heads gently. “Uu, Senpai is horrible. I’m going to shut myself in!”
‘Cardboard Vampire’ is Gasper’s stationary mode. When this cross-dressing boy with a pure heart - who has a phobia of other people - has something happen to him, he escapes into the cardboard box, and he shuts himself in his own world! Don’t copy him everyone! You might get exported by mistake! “However, Buchou and Asia-chan certainly are adorable. Maybe it might be alright if Ise-kun and I raise them like this.”
Akeno-san says it with enjoyment. “Me and Akeno-san?”
“Yes. Ise-kun will be the father and I will be their mother. That would make us husband and wife.”
“Husband and wife! ?”
Hearing those keywords, I started to imagine a scene in my mind. [I’m back.] I return home from work. [Ara-ara, welcome home, dear.] The one who appears in the entrance is Akeno-san in an apron! [Papa! Welcome home!] [Papa, play with me!] The ones who welcome me back are mini-Buchou and mini-Asia. [Hey, you, two. Papa is tired from work, so you can’t be reckless, okay?] [No~! I’m going to play with Papa!] [Asia was waiting like a good girl!] [Akeno, it’s okay. Now, my daughters, let’s play together. Hahahaha.] [Mou, you are too soft on these two.] ……..Wonderful. It’s really wonderful. I would admire that situation. A lifestyle like that might be good! “……Ise-senpai, you are drooling while having lecherous eyes. ……. It seems like he went to a world of his own.”
“Hahahaha, he must have experienced that lifestyle within his head. Ise-kun sometimes goes away from the real world.”
Koneko-chan and Kiba are talking like that. Ah, even if it was just temporarily, I imagined a wonderful lifestyle. While doing something like that, Azazel-sensei stands up and then says,
“Well, I will look for a way to dispel it. You guys also look for a way. You guys would be in trouble if it stays like this right?
