Ruri To Yuri To Hime To Majo Chapter 4

                For a while, Lapis was in a dazed state, but soon began to regain sanity.

                「…really?」

                「Really. Would you like to see me use magic?」

                Lapis softly nodded.

                Lily smiled and held the water pitcher above her head.

                From that hand, a mysterious light leapt forth and circled the pitcher. That light slowly began to take form, into some kind of letter, and gave off a noticeably powerful radiance.

                「Kya!」

                Instinctively closing her eyes, Lapis accidently gave out a shriek.

                「Fufu, sorry about that. But the magic succeeded. Try and drink some.」

                Because she was offered the pitcher, Lapis brought it to her mouth.

                And she soon realized the change.

                「Sweet!」

                「Right? How is it? Do you believe me?」

                「…yes. I'm sorry for doubting you.」

                「Fufu, it's okay. Also, this water isn't just sweet, it also speeds up your recovery, so drink a lot, okay?」

                「Okay. Thank you for everything.」

                Lapis said her grat.i.tude while bowing her head. Since she was told that it had recovery properties, as a test, she tried moving her body, but compared to before, she felt more pain.

                Since that was the case, Lapis reached out her hand for the pitcher.

                —There she noticed.

                「…Um, Lily-san」

                「Nn? What's the matter?」

                「M-my clothes…?」

                「Ah, I apologize, but I had to throw them out. They wouldn't have been able to perform their function properly.」

                「O-okay. That's fine, but… um, right now I'm…」

                「Ah! S-sorry about that! I'll go get some clothes for you! It's embarra.s.sing the way you are now, isn't it」

                「Uu… I-I'll be counting on you.」

                Lily quickly left. And finally, Lapis gave a "Hou" sigh.

                Once she realized, she couldn't help noticing. The feeling of the blanket on her bare skin was ticklish.

                After a little bit, Lily came back. But for some reason, her facial expression wasn't cheerful.

                「…Sorry for the wait.」

                「No, it's fine. …Is something wrong? You're making an upset face, but,」

                Lapis asked, causing Lily's face to distort and hang her head.

                「I'm sorry, Lapis-chan! The only size that fit were maid clothes!」

                「I get to wear maid clothes!?」

                「…huh?」

                To Lily, who apologized with all her might, Lapis gave an unexpected response.

                Lily reflexively let a weird voice slip.

                「I've always wanted to try on maid clothes! But they were servant's clothes, so I was told that I couldn't wear them.」

                「I-is that so, who told you that?」

                「It was… I can't remember.」

                「Ah, I guess it wasn't so convenient. Anyway, Lapis-chan, it seems that you're from a higher social cla.s.s.」

                「That… might be the case.」

                The tension went through many swings, but it was still a step forward. That was the feeling they felt.

                「Th-then, I'll get dressed」

                「Ah, I'll help you.」

                「Ugh, I thought so… It's embarra.s.sing, but, I'll be counting on you.」

                Lapis was somehow able to change into the maid clothes with Lily's help.

                In the process, various places were seen and touched, causing Lapis's face to be dyed a deep shade of red.
