As I left the teahouse and walked through the village, a wide smile spread across my face.
"Perfect."
I was in an exceptionally good mood. I had finally resolved the problem Iâd been mulling over for so long.
"As I thought, it was all about the sequence."
Squish.
I reached up to touch the beast ears now perched on my head. The soft, malleable texture was surprisingly well-crafted.
"This isnât bad at all."
It didnât feel quite as solid as when the turtle had placed them, but this level was just right.
What mattered more than perfection was that I no longer had to worry about them coming undone at inconvenient times.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe turtle said theyâd last three days, didnât he?â
Heâd mentioned that if I moved too aggressively within that time, they might unravel.
Thatâs why I took the time to learn it myself.
âJudging by the way things are going, Iâm going to need to do this a lot. Itâd be annoying if it unraveled in the middle.â
To wrap things up quickly, I needed control over the process and the situation.
Right after my conversation with Shin Noya, I started dissecting the sorcery applied to my body.
Through that process, I learned a few things.
The foundation of this sorcery lay in the heart, while its scope encompassed the entire body.
It wasnât just about growing ears and a tail.
Surprisingly, the energy spread throughout my body.
It wasnât just about adding physical features; it was creating a barrier of sorts.
Not to reveal, but to conceal.
It was more about erasing oneâs presence.
âItâs not as simple as just masking energy.â
How could I describe it? While it did overlay the body, it went a step furtherâ
âOverlaying the soul?â
