"Hmm? What are you talking about? Yoshino. Don't you have a shortcut method that only you can use?" Yoshinon asked with some confusion regarding the change in Yoshino's contract method. After all, this way of signing a contract was just too embarrassing. What if this contract method was spoken out loud and caused misunderstandings?
However, the contract method in this world is also signed through kissing. I really don't know what the creator who invented this contract method was thinking back then. Or rather, how did Ken Akamatsu, who drew this story, think of this method to conclude a contract? Did he not think about what to do when people of the same gender conclude a contract? It's fine between girls, for example, Sakurazaki Setsuna and Konoe Konoka are quite good. But what about between boys? Although some girls might be happy to see such a scene, she is not a fujoshi.
'Wait! I remember Al seemed to have Nagi's contract card. Does this mean that they once... Wuu~ I dare not imagine that scene. Even to gain power to deal with the Perfect World, one doesn't have to sell their first kiss!' Thinking of this, Yoshino's little face flushed red. Kissing between two boys or something, only that guy Haruna Saotome, who likes to draw this type of manga, would like it. Honestly, although this isn't discrimination, she just can't accept it.
'Fortunately, the object of my first kiss was Sister Nozomi. I don't feel like I lost out. It's just that the scene wasn't romantic at all. Doing it suddenly when I wasn't prepared, without giving me any mental preparation.' Thinking of the scene when she confessed to Nozomi Tojo and was suddenly attacked by Nozomi Tojo, she felt full of happiness in her heart, covering her cheeks a bit shyly, her body twisting bashfully.
"..." Watching Yoshino's expression turn happy, Waka Miyazaki and Yue Ayase looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. After Yoshinon finished speaking, Yoshino's face showed expressions of shyness, frowning, and then happiness in succession. To have so many emotional changes in such a short time, what on earth is Yoshino thinking about in her heart?
"Hey! Yoshino, come back to your senses! Now is not the time for you to be spacing out at home. Spacing out while talking to others is a very rude thing, you know." Yoshinon shouted loudly and used its ability to make Yoshino wake up, watching her stare at the two girls who lowered their heads, not letting them see her expression.
"Teacher Yoshino, what was that shortcut method Yoshinon mentioned just now? The one that only you can use." Yue Ayase's tone carried a hint of excitement. At first, hearing that it would take some time to learn magic, she felt a bit regretful. After all, she was just a student, and Mahora Academy was not a school specifically for learning magic, so she didn't have much time to learn magic. However, hearing Yoshinon say there was a shortcut method, she suddenly felt hopeful.
"Uh~ that... you also know that any shortcut has a price. I do have a way to make you learn quickly, but with your aptitude, you can become excellent magicians even without using this method, it's just a matter of time." Looking at the two curious eyes—no, that's not right. Looking at the two pairs of cherry lips, she shyly turned her head away and whispered the matter of the contract change into Yoshinon's ear.
"Eh! Really? Why did it become like this? Was it the change that happened during the time with Evangeline before?" Or was it done deliberately by that guy gaia? Of course, the latter sentence would not be spoken out loud. Yoshinon was so surprised that it even forgot to hide. Being able to modify Yoshino's contract, this matter could only be done by gaia, who was the designer of the contract.
"So you can understand my difficulties now, right." Seeing Yoshinon fall into silence, Yoshino thought it could understand her difficulties, but she later realized she was too naive.
"Isn't this great? Yoshino. Such a change shouldn't be a loss for you, right? What are you hesitating about there? You're both girls, what are you afraid of? Just go for it, it doesn't matter even if others see it." Yoshinon said excitedly. Originally, it was a bit regretful that the contract method had nothing worth watching, but now that it had become so fun, of course, it had to properly record this precious scene. It should be known that it had recorded all the scenes where Yoshino had kissed, making them one of its prized collections.
"It's not your first kiss anymore, are you still going to feel shy? Seriously, you are no longer the simple Yoshino you were before. I know this much. After seeing your two distinct personalities, 'Good' and 'Evil', I have already given up on correcting your personality." Yoshinon said with some exhaustion. Originally, its goal was to restore Yoshino to her former kind and innocent self. Now it couldn't ask for that much anymore; as long as Yoshino could be healthy and well, it felt satisfied.
"Um... Teacher Yoshino, is the price of the shortcut very serious?" The forgotten Yue Ayase raised her hand and asked weakly. Was their presence really that weak? One had to know that the person who pulled them out was Yoshino, and now leaving them aside and talking to herself, what was the meaning of that? Didn't she know that this was very rude?
"No! It's just that the price is very strange! Very, very strange! It will make a girl lose her most important thing! So I don't recommend you try it!" Hearing Yue Ayase's words, Yoshino turned around and said in a bit of a rush. That's right, a first kiss is very important to a girl! So her explanation had no problems at all!
"Eh? A girl's most important thing? Is it really that serious?" Waka Miyazaki covered her mouth and exclaimed, but soon felt a bit confused. "The most important thing? What is that?"
"Eh? That... this, the most important thing is that..." This was a bit different from what she had imagined. Shouldn't they be scared and give up this method? Why are you asking her why? Actually, Yoshino didn't know that as a member of the Mahora Academy library committee, Waka Miyazaki had a deep desire for exploration. Although she heard that Yoshino would lose a girl's most important thing, she was more interested in what it referred to.
"Ahaha~ I just love your inquisitiveness, Waka Miyazaki. Since you asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you. This quick method is to form a contract with Yoshino." As Yoshinon said this, a white light emanated from her body. After the white light dissipated, Yoshinon transformed from a puppet into a cute, tender, pink-haired, rabbit-eared Little Loli.
"Transformed! She transformed!" The two shouted in surprise as they watched Yoshinon transform into a Little Loli.
"Hehe~ That's right, this is Yoshinon's human form~ How is it? Isn't it cute? Ehe!" After saying that, she struck a cute pose for the two. It must be said that the Little Loli's cuteness was truly adorable, making it impossible to imagine that this cute rabbit-eared girl was the perverted rabbit who liked to tell dirty jokes earlier.
"Oh dear~ I'm not used to this form. Although it feels novel, I still feel more at ease staying on Yoshino's hand. After all, Yoshinon in puppet form is the true Yoshinon. But no matter what form I'm in, I'll always be with Yoshino," Yoshinon said with a giggle, hugged by Yoshino. Her soft, gentle voice was completely different from the sharper voice she had in puppet form, as if she were a different person.
"Is this also because of magic? It's really amazing," Waka Miyazaki said with some emotion, looking at Yoshinon, who was indistinguishable from a normal girl. She never expected magic could do such things; it was truly eye-opening.
"Yahahaha~ This has little to do with magic, but through alchemy, it is indeed possible to create a puppet similar to a human body. My current form is somewhat like small animals gaining enough strength to transform, although magic does have a way to turn animals into humans." After finding a comfortable position in Yoshino's arms, Yoshinon continued to explain the contract matter to the two. She was eager to see their expressions once they heard the truth.
"Continuing our previous topic, the way to form a contract with Yoshino is to KISS Yoshino. As middle schoolers, you should still have your first kiss, right? For a girl, isn't the first kiss something important?" For some girls, it isn't. Yoshinon added in her heart, for some peculiar girls, it is indeed the case. After all, a kiss doesn't make you lose a piece of flesh.
"KISS!" As expected, upon hearing Yoshinon's explanation, both of them exclaimed simultaneously. Then they understood why Yoshino had said they would lose the most important thing a girl possesses—isn't a first kiss very important to a girl? No wonder Yoshino had been hesitant and unwilling to speak earlier; it was because of this.
'Although this is a bit shy, it might be a good thing for Konoka.' Yue Ayase turned to look at Waka Miyazaki, whose face was flushed. If one looked closely, they would notice that while she was shy, her gaze occasionally darted towards Yoshino's cherry lips, her eyes filled with longing. Although well-hidden, Yue still noticed it.
'Hehe~ It's exactly as I thought. When Waka Miyazaki fell down the stairs, Negi should have saved her. But because Yoshino saved her, she, who should have fallen for Negi, now fell for Yoshino. Oh dear~ Things are getting more and more interesting now. The fate that should have belonged to Negi was unintentionally taken by Yoshino. In that case, could it be considered a buy one get one free deal? How exciting!'
Looking at Yue Ayase standing next to her, both of these individuals possessed excellent magical physiques. If they were to form a contract with Yoshino, even greater possibilities would emerge. More importantly, if they could form a contract with Yoshino, it would be very helpful for Yoshino's future plans. After all, they would need some assistance to obtain the World Tree's energy.
'So, let me see what your decision will be, girls.'
