When Asakura returned to the Service Club activity room, he found that the girls in the room seed to be dedicated to getting along with little Eriri, but the little one wasn't very appreciative of it, rely hiding behind Yuigahama Yui, avoiding the girls' good intentions.
"What happened?"
Asakura asked curiously.
"Just now, Eriri-chan drew a sketch of Yui."
Yanami said excitedly, "Look!"
Saying that, she shoved a sketchpad, seemingly from nowhere, into Asakura's arms.
Asakura flipped through the sketchpad, and what t his eyes was a sketch of Yuigahama Yui.
"Oh, this is quite good."
Honestly, to say how strong the technique of this sketch was, Asakura didn't feel much, but unlike the sketches in his impression, although the lines didn't seem particularly nurous, it surprisingly perfectly captured Yuigahama Yui's characteristics, giving a rather stunning impression at first glance.
No wonder the others were trying to get along with Eriri; her artistic talent was truly amazing.
Also, Asakura wasn't sure if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that this sketch of Yuigahama Yui had a subtle hint of suggestiveness…
Hmm, it must be an illusion. After all, Yuigahama's figure was indeed quite good, and it was normal for that feeling to arise when she posed in a way that slightly highlighted her figure. If little Eriri had drawn Yukino or Chihaya Anon, there definitely wouldn't be that feeling.
"By the way, what are you going to do about the curse on this child?"
At this mont, Yuigahama Yui also asked Asakura.
"Just as we initially discussed—" Asakura pulled out the plastic Hercules Cup ornant from his pocket: "Fight poison with poison."
"Although I wanted to say this before—" Yukinoshita Yukino put down the paperback novel in her hand and looked at Asakura solemnly holding the Hercules Cup ornant, which was smaller than a fist, and couldn't help but say, "Can sothing like this really grant wishes? From its appearance, it feels no different from a small toy bought at a temple fair stall…"
"That's because you, Yukino, are too slow in perceiving magic."
Asakura solemnly placed the Hercules Cup on the table, then began to chant under everyone's gaze: "Domok Saramo…"
"Is this the magic needed to grant wishes?"
Chihaya Anon had already roughly understood what had happened through the ssages in the Magic Club community. She looked at the ornant in front of Asakura with interest and asked curiously.
"No, it's probably just Takuma-kun playing so kind of ."
Asagumo Chihaya, who already had so understanding of Asakura's character, shook her head: "But it doesn't feel like a modern ; perhaps only people from Hiratsuka-sensei's era would resonate with it."
Asakura, feeling a bit lonely because no one had comnted, mumbled a few tis, but in the end, said nothing—he always felt that complaining at such a mont would only make him look more pathetic—he reached out and gently rubbed the surface of the Hercules Cup ornant.
"I know this!"
Chihaya Anon said excitedly, "It's Aladdin's lamp, right!"
However, this ti Asakura wasn't playing a ; instead, he used this action to activate the magic within the ornant.
Thus, except for Yukino, who was a Muggle, everyone else more or less felt that the atmosphere in the activity room had undergone so kind of change—incidentally, although Yanami was also a Muggle on the sa level as Yukino, because she had ford so mysterious connection with Asakura, she also possessed so witch-like characteristics, one of which was being able to perceive magic to a certain extent.
My wish is for little Eriri to return to normal.
Asakura silently repeated this sentence three tis in his mind.
But nothing happened.
Asakura froze for a mont, then, as if realizing sothing, he drew a finger through the air, dispelling a very thin layer of the magic, "Scale", that had always enveloped him, almost becoming a passive skill.
After that, Asakura silently repeated in his mind: My wish is for little Eriri to return to normal.
Sure enough, just now it was due to the presence of "Scale" that the Holy Grail was unable to read Asakura's wish, which was why there was no reaction.
Now, as Asakura's wish in his mind was silently repeated for the second ti, the anomaly already occurred.
Little Eriri suddenly lit up like a large light bulb.
The next mont, her originally short and stubby body suddenly beca slender (but her chest did not change), her slightly flat small round face now shed its baby fat, and although she lost so cuteness, she gained a bit of delicate beauty. Her milky-white, delicate skin didn't change much, just becoming a bit paler from often staying indoors compared to its initial rosiness. As a symbol of her mixed heritage, her blue eyes seed to beco even clearer, and her two small pigtails suddenly turned into long golden twin tails.
Interestingly, even the cute style of clothes the girl was originally wearing was proportionally enlarged along with her, surprisingly without any sense of incongruity, just feeling like a perfectly normal cute JK uniform.
"Woah…"
Yuigahama Yui lightly covered her cherry lips, letting out a surprised sound: "It feels like a princess from a fairy tale had her curse lifted, turning back from a child to her original self…"
Indeed, in her normal state, aside from her slightly modest chest, Eriri, purely in terms of appearance, truly gave off a princess-like sense of splendor.
"Takuma-kun, are you alright?"
Asagumo Chihaya looked at Asakura with so concern, worried that he might be affected by the curse.
After all, currently, it seed that these so-called Holy Grail wishes always had so subtle after-effects…
However, after briefly assessing his own condition, Asakura shook his head: "No problem. This level of cursed item has no effect on ."
Actually, the curse did take effect at first, but the essence of this curse was still a type of magic intertwined with 'wishes'.
If it were attached to soone else, like (little) Eriri, Asakura would worry whether burning the curse would affect the other person's mind, as the curse and wish were originally one.
But if this thing fell on him, there weren't so many scruples; he could just snap his fingers and burn it away with the magic, "Candle".
Just as Asakura cleared his throat, wanting to say sothing to Eriri (big… big? Doesn't seem big) who still hadn't recovered from her dazed state.
But before he could speak, a 'ding' sound ca from Asakura's mind.
[Quest: Get Bigger Completed]
Asakura was stunned for a mont, then felt a mouthful of old complaints stuck in his throat.
So that's what 'Get Bigger' ant, huh?!
