We discovered that instead of vitality, the power of spiritual bodies, let us call it spiritual power, could serve as a substitute. Since then, Reagaia has been continuously sending this power to the Spirit Tree through the Yin-Yang Blade -Yang-… Yet she still does not lose weight.
What must one do to lose weight?
Is expecting to lose weight without exercise merely a naive thought?
I would like to see a properly slimmed-down Reagaia… Although she is currently munching on magic power balls while having her spiritual power absorbed, I feel it will not happen within my lifetime.
「…Hm? What? Why are you staring so intently? I was moving constantly until Cassandra-chan went to pay her respects, so have you finally fallen for my slightly slimmer figure?」
「Sigh…」
「A deep sigh!? Wh-What is it?」
「Well… Ah… I was just wondering if you are alright, being drained continuously like this.」
While casually changing the subject, I infused magic power into the magic power ball intended for Reagaia.
Everyone else was busy pouring magic power into the Spirit Tree or attending to Elves who were overexerting themselves, so I felt somewhat guilty that I was only taking care of this girl lying down.
「Hm? Are you worried about me? I am perfectly fine. It seems the Spirit Tree is also absorbing with all its might, but recovering by eating the normal magic power balls you make is faster.」
Reagaia said this while lying down and eating magic power balls.
Had she provoked the Spirit Tree? Or was it just my imagination that the Spirit Tree seemed to be desperately absorbing?
Now… I hesitate to say this to someone who is technically female, but I simply must say it.
…You look ugly.
If these were potato chips instead of magic power balls, and if this were not in front of the Spirit Tree but on a bed in a dimly lit room, it would be the worst possible scene.
I see… Now I fully understand why sloth and gluttony are among the Seven Deadly Sins.
I wish you would fix your current appearance before talking about teaching me the dignity of a dragon or complaining about Cassandra’s harsh training.
If I fully understood the structure of a camera, I could build one and take a picture to show her. However, I only have vague and likely incorrect knowledge, such as using a mirror and briefly exposing film to light… It is regrettable that I cannot create one.
Borrowing every mirror in the Elf village to show you your current state might solve the problem… But no. If you were to realize the truth and go on a rampage, it would be unbearable for both the Spirit Tree and us. I suppose I should give up…
Cassandra once said that Reagaia was a dragon worthy of respect, likely referring to her slimmer days, but that feels like nothing more than an illusion now…
「Sigh…」
「What is with that sigh! I am sharing my power to help the Spirit Tree right now!」
「That is true… Ah, yes, you are…」
Even in this state, you are currently helping the Spirit Tree.
Even in this state… I suppose.
「Hey… Could you try a bit harder to lose weight?」
「No, no, no. I am trying seriously, you know? It has been hundreds of years since I moved this much. There are actual results. Besides, I am losing weight as my spiritual power is being drained.」
Eh, really?
I stared closely, but I could not tell where she was losing weight at all…
More importantly.
「But you are eating my magic power balls quite frequently, are you not? Will you not fail to lose weight like that…?」
If things go poorly, might this super-concentrated magic power ball cancel out all her previous dieting efforts?
Although it is for the sake of the Spirit Tree, she is eating so much that I worry Cassandra will get angry.
「Let me just say this, but there are advantages to being stronger in this form than when I am slim. In fact, I would not be exaggerating to say that this current form is my final form!」
「That is an exaggeration… Stronger, you say? For example?」
「First, power! If I lose weight, my power drops! Also, my durability is higher now! Did I not withstand that hero’s strike from before?」
Hmm. Certainly, body weight is directly linked to power, and the durability provided by subcutaneous fat is understandable.
However.
「How much does your power drop if you lose weight?」
「…Just a tiny bit?」
Do not avert your eyes. Do not avert them.
Your honesty is appreciated, but is “a tiny bit” not merely within the margin of error?
As for durability, sturdy muscles would provide sufficient protection even without subcutaneous fat.
「By the way, what happens if you lose weight?」
「Let me see… First, I would become faster. Much faster than now. Also… my techniques might become sharper? Ah, the hardness of my scales would increase, and my regeneration speed might be faster when slim…」
「That sounds like nothing but benefits…」
「B-But for an Earth Dragon, power is the most important thing! Among dragon species, Earth Dragons have the greatest strength and durability! So should we not focus on extending our strengths!?」
「If power is important, speed is also necessary… Force combined with speed yields greater destructive power.」
Hardness times weight times force certainly creates destructive power, but hardness times force times speed likely yields even more.
Moreover, simply having speed makes one overwhelmingly stronger in close combat.
「Gnununu. You always have a counterargument!」
「That is you… Besides, is not your slim form beautiful? Cassandra said she was proud to call you her mother, did she not?」
According to Cassandra, although it is hard to imagine now, your proportions were likely the best among all dragon species.
Cassandra has impressive breasts, but yours must have been truly magnificent as well.
And now… sigh…
「H-Hey, stop looking at me like that! It makes me feel more uncomfortable than being scolded! Fine! Fine! I just need to lose weight, right! I will lose weight!」
「Ah… Please let me believe that flesh is your breasts…」
「Is that what is important to you!? Well, you do seem to have a strange obsession with that area. Fine, fine. I consider this to be oppais as well… Ah, I might be able to show you now. Hey, hey, shall I show you for just a moment?」
「Eh?」
Show me for just a moment… Is such a thing possible?
You will become slim for just a moment?
If there is a way to become slim, why could you not do it before, and why do you say you can now?
「Normally, if I use it up, it does not return, so it is impossible. But now, it will probably return… Do you want to see?」
「I want to. I really want to.」
I have no idea what she means by using something up and it not returning, but if I can see Reagaia’s slim form, I certainly want to.
「Fufun. Then, please add one thick magic power ball. If it does not return, I might start rampaging in the worst-case scenario, you know?」
「…Understood.」
I cannot shake the feeling that I am being deceived, but for safety’s sake, I quickly prepared a super-concentrated magic power ball.
If I could not see it, I would absolutely never give her another one.
She would have to endure bland magic power balls for a while.
「Alright! Are you ready? Then let us try it! No blinking allowed! I do not know how long I can maintain this!」
Saying this, Reagaia rose from her lying position, turned her entire body toward me, and grinned.
How would she change from that metabolic state?
「Suuuu… Haaaaaaaah!!!」
Wondering what was about to happen, I held back my blinks as much as possible. Reagaia bared her teeth and shouted, her hair began to float naturally, and an invisible force distorted the air around her.
Um… Was she turning into Super Reagaia?
Would her hair turn blonde, or would her aura become visible?
No, surely not… Or so I thought, but then I saw an aura enveloping Reagaia’s body!
The aura moved toward the arm pierced by the Yin-Yang Blade -Yang-, passed through the blade, and proceeded into the Spirit Tree’s branch. The moment it transferred from the hilt to the branch, the branch bulged and the energy moved toward the trunk.
It looked like the belly of a snake after swallowing something large. Is it okay… Wait!?
「Phew. Well, this should suffice.」
Standing before me was a stunning beauty, 98 percent naked, covering her vital parts with what seemed to be scales…
H-Huh? Where did Reagaia go?
C-Could it be… Ehhhhh!?
She had brown skin and golden hair, similar to Cassandra.
Her breasts were larger than Cassandra’s, and perhaps even larger than Sicilia-sama’s. Could this astonishingly busty beauty really be Rea…gaia?
No, although she said she would show me her slim form, the changes were so drastic, and she shared features with Cassandra, that I found it hard to believe.
In fact, it would make more sense if someone told me that a relative of Reagaia or Cassandra had swapped places with her while I was looking away!
Seeing my surprised face, she posed smugly, shaking her breasts and tail. Even her tail was beautiful…
Not only that, but her waist was slender, and her limbs were appropriately toned, suggesting well-balanced muscles.
Truly, a fighting woman whose very physique was beautiful…
This was Reagaia’s true form. Pofun.
…The branch from the Spirit Tree swelled again and returned, and Reagaia’s form reverted to her original metabolic dragon state.
Is this a joke?
It was too short… Give me back that beautiful dragon form from before…
If that girl were in her dragon form, she would surely be a dragon worthy of respect and awe, not a round, fat Earth Dragon.
I wanted to see that side as well…
Although it is impossible within the village…
「Ah, as expected, a few seconds was the limit. Well, if it absorb that much dragon energy at once, it will rebound. So? How was it? My true form. Did you understand that I have the best proportions among the dragon leaders?」
「Yes… Yes. It was amazing. I can see why Cassandra would be proud.」
「Fufun! See?」
Just imagining such a beautiful onee-san speaking to me so casually makes me feel happy, but unfortunately, the one speaking casually with a smug face right now is Metabolic Reagaia…
…Alright. The next time I meet Cassandra, I will definitely tell her to make her training stricter.
Once more… I want to see that woman’s form for longer this time!
