"Do you feel uncomfortable, Krisa?"

Meditation room interior.

There was a slight ticking sound.

It originated from a mechanical clock hanging on the wall.

The hands tick across the scale, making a steady and elegant sound. Every click and every dance brings time to the next more precise moment.

Xu Xi stretched out his hands, put them around Krisa's arms and waist, and helped her sit up.

The girl's reaction was a little slow, and she shook her head in confusion after a while.

"no……"

"Well, I feel relieved then."

The frown on his face relaxed.

Xu Xi helped the girl up, took out a roll of homemade bandage, and wrapped it around the girl's body in circles.

Those hidden signs of the demons are in a very sensitive state. If they are not dealt with, they are likely to reappear.

In more serious cases, it may even affect a girl's control over her body.

therefore.

Maybe the system used blocking bandages to wrap around and around, using this prop made of magical material to finely seal Krisha's remaining horns and scales, making them completely silent.

Circle after circle.

A white bandage wrapped around most of Krisa's body.

Especially the remaining corner of the head, which was tightly wrapped by the bandage without leaving any gaps.

Xu Xi reached out and touched it, then stepped back a few steps to check carefully. Only after making sure that nothing was missing did he let the girl stand up.

"Krisa, you have to keep the bandage on for a few days. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me."

Xu Xi reminded.

"Yes, I will remember that."

Krisha responded softly.

The expressionless little face already looked pitiful and lifeless. After being wrapped in bandages, the fragmented and fragile feeling became particularly obvious, like a toy that was torn apart and forcibly sewn together.

Hollow eyes, pale lips, thin body.

Every part of me has suffered silent torture.

Although the wounds have long since healed, the pain is still deeply engraved in invisible places, making the witch wrapped in bandages look even more pitiful.

"..."

There was nothing else in Krisa's eyes except her staring at Xu Xi. After the operation, Xu Xi began to pack up the props and materials.

That was originally what Krisa wanted to do, but Xu Xi disagreed.

Insist that Krisa, who has just completed the operation, continue to rest.

ah…

Ahhh…

I really became a "human".

Krisa lowered her head slightly and reached out to touch her hornless head. She couldn't believe that the devil horn that brought her misfortune disappeared so easily.

In the past, people would scold and beat girls when they saw the mutilated and twisted horns.

During countless days and nights of unbearable pain, the girl had fantasized about making the evil horn that brought misfortune disappear.

but.

My dream came true today, but I feel calm inside.

It's not because of any emotional deficiency, but because I take it for granted that this kind of thing is not worth being happy about at all.

It doesn't matter if it's from the human race or the demon race.

The girl no longer cared about that kind of thing.

The reason why she wanted to become a human was simply because she felt that this posture was more suitable for standing next to that man.

"If I become a human, I should be able to get closer to him, right?"

Krisah's idea was that simple.

Just a little bit, just a little closer, and she would be able to feel the warmth and the light more clearly.

subconscious.

Krisa stretched out her hand in Xu Xi's direction.

Tentatively, hesitantly, she stretched out her trembling little hand wrapped in bandages.

The girl, who had been as quiet as a doll and had no self-will for a long time, wanted to do something for the first time, but she stretched out her hand halfway and then silently retracted it.

No, not allowed.

How can an "object" approach its owner without permission?

Thinking so, Krisa slowly withdrew her hand. Even though she liked Xu Xi so much and wanted to be closer to him, she had to recognize her own identity and status.

"Krisha?"

Suddenly.

Maybe Xi noticed what Krisa did.

Looking at the girl's hand frozen in mid-air, like half a leaf of shy grass, unable to move forward or backward, he seemed to have misunderstood something.

He took the girl's hand and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I've been delayed for so long today. Krisa must be exhausted."

"I'll take you back to your room."

Finished.

Xu Xi held Krisa's hand and walked on the ground, step by step, carefully and gently, towards the bedroom that belonged only to girls.

Several times during the conversation, Krisa wanted to speak.

She said she wasn't tired at all.

Said she could walk alone.

But somehow, feeling the warmth coming from my palms, all words got stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a single word.

I just want to feel more, I just want to experience more.

I even want time to stay at this moment forever.

"I'm sorry, Mom... Krisa has turned into a bad lying kid..." As this thought came to her mind, Krisa subconsciously held that warm hand tighter.

Only now.

I definitely don't want to let go.

…

[You successfully transformed the witch's appearance. After four days of being bandaged, you untied the bandage for Krisa, and a very beautiful human girl appeared in front of you.]

【No deformed or distorted horns】

【No ugly raised scales】

[From top to bottom, Krisa doesn't have any demonic features. No matter who sees her, they will think she is just a human girl.]

[You are very happy because this means that from today on, Krisa's life will completely change]

[It has been almost a year since you adopted Krisa, even though she has never expressed a desire to go out or come into contact with anyone other than you.]

[But you always feel that Krisa's life should be richer and not limited to this small courtyard]

【Taking this opportunity, you decided to give a magic wand to Krisa】

[The witch, who has been promoted to a formal wizard, urgently needs a magic wand to unleash her true power.]

The wand is tan in color.

The main body is carved from ash wood.

Slender and elegant.

Inlaid with multiple magic gems at the same time, a large amount of magic can be stored in advance as a strategic reserve for the mage.

This wand, called "Gray Rekindling", is not cheap, but Xu Xi thinks it is worth the high price.

So, Xu Xi bought the gray one and gave it to Chrisa.

besides.

I also bought a space ring.

As a magician, a magic wand and a space ring are indispensable items.

"Thank you, I love it."

When she received the gift, Krisa remained expressionless, but judging from her slightly trembling eyelashes, she must have liked it.

"Let's try and see if it works for you."

Xu Xi smiled and began to teach Krisa how to control the wand more conveniently, as well as the various experiences that a magician needs to know.
