Chapter 75 Midnight Magic Girl
After finishing a slightly embarrassing dinner, Sara returned to her room and changed into her nightclothes with Maria's help. At first, she was hesitant to have someone help her change, but she eventually got used to it. After all, it was very difficult to put on noble dresses by herself.
As she lay down on her bed, Sara called out to Mike.
"Hey Mike, won't I get in trouble if I don't learn how to take off my clothes when I grow up?"
"Yeah, clothes don't grow bigger, do they?"
"Can't I just magically change my clothes or something?"
"It's impossible, isn't it? You're smart, Sara, but sometimes you're really silly."
Mike slipped into Sara's bed and replied, his voice muffled.
"I thought it would be better if Sophia's age was different from Sara. But if I don't switch between me and Sophia quickly, it'll be a disaster! That's what I think."
"Don't talk about the blessings of the spirits like they're some kind of convenient feature."
Mike looked upset, his face scrunched up.
"Sorry, sorry."
Pochi appeared and lay down on Sara's stomach.
"So, you want to use the blessings of the spirits to make your clothes bigger or smaller, right? Even when you're wearing Western-style clothes?"
"Yeah."
"But the blessings of the spirits can't do that. If we use Sara's magic together, maybe we can make it happen?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Pochi floated up and approached a vase on the windowsill. He gently placed his front paws on the flowers, and they transformed into a single thread.
"In other words, clothes are made from plants, right? Well, some parts might be metal, leather, or animal fur, but..."
"Yeah, that's true."
"Sara, if you can imagine the finished product, can't you use wood-attribute magic to make clothes from cotton or hemp?"
"Wow, I've never tried that before."
Sara got out of bed and stood in front of the mirror, gazing at her reflection in her nightclothes. The fabric of her nightclothes was 100% cotton, and the thread used to sew it was also cotton.
'I think I can do it.'
"Dress, transform!"
The incantation didn't really have much meaning, but Sara had realized that saying the words out loud helped to support her imagination. However, she didn't want to do a middle school-like chant.
In the next instant, her nightwear transformed like a mist, wrapping around her body, and its design changed into the dress she wore during the day. It felt like the transformation took around 10 seconds, but that was just her sense of it――it might have been faster or slower.
"Whoa, I did it! Pochi is amazing!"
"Hmm, it's good that you did it, but this might be a bit of a problem..."
The nightwear was a simple design without any decorations like ribbons, so compared to the dress she wore during the day, it had less fabric. As a result, the fabric was insufficient, and the dress became extremely short. Originally, the nightwear was a long, floor-sweeping dress that just reached her ankles, but now it was like a super mini dress. If she were to transform it into an adult's dress, it would become an embarrassing sight.
"There's not enough fabric at all, is there..."
"Yeah, that's true."
As Pochi looked dejected, Mike poked his face out from under the bed.
"Then why not just carry the fabric with you?"
Sara imagined herself carrying fabric around. She didn't know how old Sophia was, but if it was the material needed for a noble's dress, it would be quite bulky.
"It's impossible to carry that much material around..."
"Why?"
"I'd become a girl who always walks around with a big luggage..."
"Huh? Sara, haven't you used storage magic yet?"
"What?"
'Wait, wait. Storage magic is one of those super cheat abilities from isekai templates, right? Along with appraisal and all that?'
"Mike, does this world have storage magic?"
"Yes, it does. It's a non-attribute magic, so not many people can use it."
"Is it that rare?"
"Hmm, I haven't seen it in about 300 years. The amount you can store depends on your magical power, so you need a lot of magic to use it properly."
'This ability is too rare!'
Sara grasped the pillow on her bed and imagined a vacant space in her mind where she could store it.
'Ah, I think I can do it somehow.'
Sara recalled the industrial robots used for logistics in the warehouse of the company she worked for during her Sarasa days. In other words, she imagined not only storing things away but also quickly finding what she needed and delivering it to the right person with the right system.
Without hesitation, Sara imagined storing the pillow in her hand. Instantly, the pillow vanished, and when she imagined taking it out, she could do so.
"Mike~, I did it easily!"
"I knew you could do it, Sara."
"Thanks!"
Next, Sara tried storing the sheets and curtains in her room and creating a dress while taking them out.
"Hmm, it's tough to imagine the details of the dress..."
""You can do it!""
Mike and Pochi cheered Sara on, circling around her. After about 2 hours, she successfully transformed the dress.
"I did itttt!"
As Sara rejoiced with all her might, Mike suddenly said.
"Hey Sara, wouldn't it be better to store the dress from the start?"
"Uh..."
Sara couldn't directly imagine putting the dress away because, since coming to the Grandchester household, she had lost the ability to change clothes on her own.
In her commoner days, Sara could change clothes by herself. Back then, she wore a one-piece dress over her undergarments, with an outerwear and an overskirt on top. Her mother, Adelia, wore a corset-like garment made of fabric, but the laces were in the front, so she could still change clothes alone.
However, the dresses prepared by the Grandchester family were not something that could be worn easily, even with the help of a maid. She had thought that maybe she could get used to it, but there were just too many strings and parts. By the way, for adult women's dresses, they even use metal pins to fasten them or sew them on the spot to fit their bodies.
Thanks to her memories coming back, she still didn't have the confidence to change into this dress by herself. No, it's precisely because she has her memories that she compare it to the convenience of zippers and fasteners.
'Hey, maybe if I had magic, I could change into this dress by myself?'
Sara opened the closet and gazed at the dresses lined up inside, imagining herself putting on the dress like changing fabric. At first, it didn't go well, but after repeating the process several times, she was able to change into it by herself.
'This is amazing! It's super convenient!'
Sara knew from her past experiences that once she succeeded, she could use magic smoothly from then on. In other words, Sara had mastered the art of quick-change like a kabuki actor.
And now, it was Mike's turn.
"How old do you want to be, Sara?"
"For now, let's say 16. That's the age of adulthood."
"Got it."
Mike jumped onto Sara's head and started flying around in circles, leaving a trail of light particles behind. As soon as the light particles touched Sara, her body began to heat up from the inside, and her vision expanded.
Sara panicked and transformed her clothes into a mist-like state, wrapping it around her body.
"Yes, it's done."
The growth process was over in just a few seconds. When Sara looked in the mirror, a tall and beautiful girl was standing there. For now, Sara transformed the sheets and curtains into a simple one-piece dress.
'Wow, my bust is bigger than I expected. And my waist is so slim!'
Sara was thrilled to see her new grown-up style.
"Amazing, Mike Thank you!"
"Thanks anyway. But Sara, you're going to become a super beautiful girl, aren't you? You're already a pretty kid now..."
Pochi floated up softly and peeked at Sara from behind the mirror.
"Hey, hey, Mike. Don't you want to see Sara become a beauty?"
"Yeah, I do!"
The fairies started getting excited and began changing Sara's age randomly. In the end, even if her physical age approached her 60s, Sara knew she would still be called a beauty. It's a pretty unfair body, even with wrinkles.
"My ideal was to become a cute grandma, but I realized I'd become a beautiful grandma instead."
"Are you saying that yourself, Sara?"
"Probably, not many people would say that about themselves. So, I'm the only one who can say it."
"I see."
Sara suddenly thought of something.
"Hey, Mike. If you can change my physical age, can you also change my hair color or eye color?"
"That's not possible, I think. I can control time, but I'm not transforming you. You're still you, Sara."
"I see. But it's still amazing that my age can be changed!"
"Hehehe."
Mike had a smug face. Pochi also playfully teased her.
By the way, this game continued until late at night, and Sara ended up falling asleep on the sofa, exhausted. She managed to change back to her original age and put on her nightclothes, but the sheets and curtains were still scattered all over the place, which would shock Maria when she entered the room the next day.
Maria reported this to Rebecca, who then questioned Sara about what happened. Sara honestly told her that she had played with the fairies at night, and as a result, she got a long lecture from Rebecca.
And when Sara reported about controlling her physical age, storage magic, and changing clothes magic, Rebecca covered her face and said, "Let's take a break today. Ms. Sara must be sleep-deprived," before leaving the room.
'What should I do... I might have gotten scolded by Miss Rebecca!!'
In reality, Rebecca just took a break to think of a way to keep these magic abilities from being exposed to the outside world. And Sara's worries were, quite frankly, a bit too late.
