*创世纪6187年3月20日 上午09:32分 赛莫拉比城
It is now three days after acquiring the commercial rights from Sadler.
Standing on the balcony on the third floor of the mansion and looking at the endless stream of people in the courtyard, Ella, who had just gotten up and washed up, stretched herself and turned to walk into the room.
The day after Sadler boarded the airship, business licenses and other tools that might be used were delivered to the door of the mansion. In addition, Sadler also specially arranged for people to help him publicize the existence of the airship. As for the need to recruit undead as guards, preparations were also in full swing. Among those he had just seen, some were undead.
There was a slight knock on the door, and Ella, who was standing in front of the mirror combing her hair, paused for a moment.
"You don't have to knock. It's okay if Lotte just comes in."
With the sound of the doorknob turning, the wooden door with luxurious relief carvings opened, and Lotte, wearing a black and white maid uniform and very thin lavender twintails, walked into the room.
"Miss Ella forgot to eat breakfast again."
"Ahaha, I overslept."
"It's been going on for three days now. If it goes on for too long, you'll get a stomachache."
Placing the meal on a wooden tray on the low cabinet by the door, Lotte noticed Ella changing her clothes and walked over to the mirror. The polished silver metal reflected the delicate faces of both of them.
"Ella-san has such dazzling hair, but she doesn't seem to care for it at all. It would look better if she tied it up or styled it differently."
While speaking, Ruthie lifted up Ella's golden hair that fell to her waist and tied it into a hairstyle commonly used by aristocrats in front of the mirror. Just as Ruthie said, just by changing the hairstyle, the original lazy atmosphere instantly turned into the reserved feeling common among aristocratic women.
Without following Lotte's instructions, Ella reached out and picked up the white crown from the cabinet next to her and put it on her hair.
"But that's too much trouble to take care of. If it falls apart, I'll be asking Lotte for help again."
"It's not a bother, is it?"
"I knew you'd say that—where's Eve? It's time to replenish your mana."
Standing up, Ella walked to the door and brought the breakfast that Luty had brought to the wooden table in the room. This room was where the original owner of the house lived, so the space was much larger than an ordinary bedroom. Even with a large canopy bed that could accommodate six people and many wardrobes, low cabinets, screens, and wooden tables, it did not seem crowded at all. Instead, it gave people a feeling that "this is how it should be."
"Miss Eve hasn't been seen for a long time, but judging by the situation over the past two days, she must be hiding from those ghost children."
"Eve is really popular..."
I couldn't help but sigh. After three days of contact, the ghost girls' attitude towards Eve had become the same as the demons' attitude towards me. It had become a belief-level existence. No matter what Eve said, those ghost girls would try their best to complete it. Of course, this was on the premise that it would not interfere with their normal work.
Now the ghost girls are learning how to use the magic airship under the guidance of Camisia. Once the first batch of magic airships are produced by the demon tribe, the Chamber of Commerce named "Mercury" will be officially established.
Ella, who was already sitting at the wooden table preparing to enjoy breakfast, fiddled with the silver spoon and looked up.
"Wow, this is—milk porridge? Lotte is truly recreated."
Ella's praise made Lotte's face blush with embarrassment. She sat down opposite Ella and twisted her hands clasped at her waist back and forth.
"Because Ms. Ella mentioned last time that the ingredients have flavor, I wanted to give it a try... After I finished making it, I asked Ms. Angeline to taste it, and she said the flavor was a bit too bland, so I added a little lemon juice without authorization—"
"Mmm, delicious."
While listening to Ruthie's explanation, Ella put the spoon into her mouth. The perfect temperature and the soft feeling on the tip of her tongue, coupled with the sour and sweet flavor of the fruit, made her want to pick up the wooden bowl and eat it with relish.
Hearing Ella's praise, Lotte breathed a sigh of relief.
"If Miss Ella is satisfied..."
"Oh, by the way, about the ketchup thing we talked about last time, I heard from Fukagami that it's almost done?"
"Well, it's pretty close to the taste you described, but it still needs some processing. It should be ready within a week."
"Hey, Lotte was right next to me the whole time, so when did you do it? Just so you know, if Lotte tries this during her break, I'll be mad, okay?"
The raw material of ketchup is the "Devil Fruit" that he obtained on Dragon Island. Although it is a strange purple color, the taste is not much different from tomato, so he wanted to recreate ketchup - even though he was of no help at all.
"I worked with the puppet maid back in the underground tower. It didn't take long, so don't worry, Miss Ella."
Smiling back at Ella who had a worried look on her face, Lotte stood up and closed the wooden door between the balcony and the bedroom. Although the sun was shining outside, the air in March still seemed a bit dry and cold. If you weren't careful, you would catch a cold.
Looking at this scene, Ella couldn't help but murmur softly.
"Lotte will definitely make a wonderful wife in the future..."
"Eh? What did Miss Ella just say?"
"I was just saying how wonderful Lotte is, and whoever gets to marry her will be a very happy person—damn it, I won't let Lotte go."
Ella bit the spoon in her mouth fiercely. If the silver spoon had not been processed by magic, it would probably have left tooth marks on it.
“Is that so…?”
By the end of the conversation, Lotte's voice had become so low that it was completely inaudible, but Ella suddenly remembered something else and didn't pursue the matter further.
"Speaking of which, I have something to ask of you, Lotte."
Ella quickly swallowed the bacon and milk porridge on the wooden plate, wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, then stood up and took Vita's magic potion and magic board out of the storage.
"I want to create an appearance that I can show to others in public. If I'm alone, there might be some mistakes, so I want Lotte to help. Hmm... the less people think of me, the better. Not only the appearance, but also the personality and the way of speaking should be changed."
When leaving the underground tower, the puppet maids gave him more than enough of Vita's magic potion. The reason he needed the magic potion was that he wanted to create a character - Entarosephiel, who could appear at the critical moment. This was necessary to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Miss Ella will choose me...Okay, has Miss Ella already prepared some of it herself?"
"Well, Lotte, let's take a look first."
After drinking Vita's tasteless magic potion, Ella injected magic power into the magic plate that had already set her appearance. It didn't take long for her originally cute appearance to become cold and emotionless. In addition, because the facial lines were more distinct than before, she gave people a feeling of being more beautiful.
In order to better demonstrate the effect, Ella also specially changed into the clothes she planned to wear when she was in the Entarosfiel state - a dark red dress with black lace given by the black dragon Vera.
After circling Ella, Lotte placed her hand under her chin and frowned.
"Hmm...what happens next?"
"Eh? That's all."
Ruthie's words made Ella feel as awkward as if a comedian had finished their performance but the audience had no reaction at all. But the truth was that she had already shown everything she could imagine and there was no room for anything else.
"If it's just like this... it's still easy to recognize. Although the purple eyes that symbolize the demons have been changed to red, and the racial characteristics have been emphasized, the blonde hair has not changed, and the height is the same. But as for height, is it something that can be changed?"
Lotte raised her head, a hint of doubt in her orange-red eyes. Vita's magic potion could only change the appearance of women, but not their height. Not being able to change their height meant that their identities would be easily exposed. Most people would use height to describe their appearance, so it would be better to adjust their current height to be higher.
"Ah, indeed, changing the hair color would be better. As for the height, is an illusion okay?"
"Illusion? Won't it be revealed? Remember, illusions create objects that will pass through if touched..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Just make your legs longer and use 'Fly' to get around. You can't walk on the ground, but I want to make Ntarosviel a powerful character, so I'll just use 'Fly' all the time. It's better to stay off the ground and not be exposed."
As she spoke, Ella switched to the appearance of a swordsman—a swordsman with white twintails and wearing a white cloak.
"'Wings of Hermes', 'Illusion Creation'."
Using the higher-level magic of "Flight" "Wings of Hermes" to float in the air, and then using "Illusion Creation" to twist and create the illusion that his legs have lengthened, as for the problem of Vita's magic potion becoming ineffective due to the role switching, he compensated by drinking the magic potion again.
Overall, Ella has now become a girl-like elf floating in the air, wearing a swordsman's cloak and with white twin tails. Of course, because her face was set up with magic potions in advance, her facial expression gives people a feeling of being difficult to approach. As for the legs that were lengthened by illusion, if the extra part of the soles of the feet touches a real object, it will directly pass through the object, which is somewhat similar to the phenomenon of clipping in 3D games.
"Is this okay?"
"Hmm... Miss Ella, are you planning to appear as a swordsman?"
"No, it's just that my five senses are sharper in swordsman mode, so I can better deal with special situations by switching to swordsman mode. Normally, I would switch to a magic caster or a mage user, right?"
"Is that so... Well, to be on the safe side, it would be best if Miss Ella prepared a wig. Otherwise, if your hair color keeps changing, it'll arouse suspicion."
"Well, can I ask Lotte for this?"
"It's not a request, it's a must, right?"
Hearing Lotte's playful confirmation, Ella nodded with a wry smile and began to look around at this new look. Since the swordsman's suit had been used in Ryan Town, it would be better not to wear it anymore. She changed into the dark red dress given by Vera, but when Ella lowered her head, she discovered a new problem.
——Would it be better if I changed my breasts as well?
"Um... Lotte, do you need some padding for your breasts?"
In response to Ella's hesitant words, Lotte simply responded with a serious expression.
"That should be fine. If the height is different, no one would suspect anything without having to deliberately alter the breasts. Besides, Miss Ella's face lacks something symbolic compared to this."
"A symbolic thing? A mask?"
"A mask... normally a good choice, but Ms. Ella's goal is to prevent the two identities from overlapping. Covering up would only lead to speculation, so leaving it alone is the best option. As for a symbolic scar, it's the best option, but that would affect the overall appearance. After all, a teardrop mole is better."
I always feel that there is a strange fighting spirit burning in Lotte's eyes.
"Tear mole...huh..."
Despite feeling strange, Ella still followed Ruti's instructions and added a teardrop mole below the corner of her left eye - the result of modification through the magic board.
"Is this okay?"
"Well, the appearance is fine, the next step is the character setting."
After straightening out the wrinkles on Ella's dress, Lotte continued to supplement.
"Are you planning on adopting a cold personality like Ms. Fukagan, Ms.?"
"That's true for now. A cold personality is harder to grasp, and I'm also planning to add the arrogance attribute."
In that way, he could easily say no, and he wouldn't have to worry about being disliked. After all, Entalosphiel was just an identity he used to solve troubles, and he had no intention of shaping her into a sage.
"There shouldn't be any problems with the personality, but the tone and movements need some practice. From now on, I'll assist Miss Ella. What weapon do you plan to use?"
"Weapons? It wouldn't matter if I didn't use weapons in other states."
The other states were all at least level 100 and there was no need to use weapons. After all, even in the healer state, he could do without weapons, as all his magic was instantaneous without the chanting process.
"But it would be more impressive if you had weapons, right?"
"So you're considering it for the sake of impression... In that case, a more conspicuous weapon would be better, hmmm—got it!"
A strange weapon over two meters long was taken out from the warehouse. It looked like a long-handled axe, but it was very different. If I had to describe it, it felt like a large ring was installed on the top of a long sword, and there were several protruding sharp objects embedded around the ring. Of course, it cannot be denied that if someone was hit by such a large weapon, they would definitely end up in a very tragic way.
"Is this ok?"
If I remember correctly, this is a special weapon called the "Judgment Sun Wheel". When a player's warrior class reaches level 100, the system will give them this cheap and useless weapon. However, in "F.Wing", because the Judgment Sun Wheel looks quite gorgeous, many players will keep it and use it as a prop to decorate their appearance when participating in activities.
"Eh? This weapon... is so beautiful. It suits you perfectly, Miss Ella."
Lotte covered her slightly parted lips with her hand, looking quite surprised. However, that was understandable. The forging technology in this world was very backward, so this kind of special and gorgeous design was almost unheard of.
"That's great. I have some free time now. Could Lotte practice some conversation with me?"
"sure."
After saying that, Lotte pretended to be waiting for Ella to ask her questions.
“That being said, what exactly should I say…”
Lotte's silence put Ella in an awkward position, not knowing what to say. It would be inappropriate to continue to remain silent, so Ella tried to speak.
“Ugh—cough cough…”
"What should I say at this time? Hmm? Wait."
"Lotte, someone's coming. Let's stop for a moment."
A puzzled expression appeared on Lotte's face, but now was not the time to explain. The person who came was Angeline, in other words, the type who didn't knock on the door. She quickly removed the illusion magic and Ella switched back to her healer appearance.
A few seconds after doing all this, Angelini pushed the wooden door open with a loud bang.
"Little Ella, something happened with Little Eve."
"Condition?"
"Well, it seems like there was a conflict with an undead. However, the cause and process are a bit strange, so we don't know what to do."
Angelique only showed an expression of distress and embarrassment, and did not seem anxious, so Ella waved her hand, judging that this was not an emergency.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute. Angelique, go ahead."
"Yes, yes~ But don't forget, little Ella. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome when Teacher Camisia arrives."
"I understand."
After driving Angelina away, Ella turned her attention to Lotte.
"Well, this is a good place to try out your disguise. Let's go over there after we adjust ourselves."
"Okay, Miss Ella."

*There will probably be illustrations/character designs for Entarosphiel's status. If it's an illustration, it will be placed in a separate chapter between this chapter and the next. If it's a character design, it will be placed directly in the character design chapter. That's it.
