Chapter: 185

After giving Darling a good scolding, Kraush explained why he needed the transformation potion.

When Darling heard the explanation, she tilted her head and gently touched the bulge on her forehead.

“So you need the potion to sneak into the girls’ dormitory?”

“Don’t skip over the details.”

As Kraush showed signs of getting ready to scold her again, Darling quickly pulled out a potion from her pocket.

“Here, it’s a TS potion that lasts about a day.”

“About a day? So it could last more than that?”

Kraush received the potion with a queasy feeling.

He felt an impulse to smash it but managed to resist.

“Are you just planning to take the potion and walk right in?”

“Of course, that’s the plan.”

“But you’re wearing a male uniform.”

At the next question, Kraush blinked in surprise.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He looked down at his outfit.

If he entered wearing a male uniform, even in a female form, he’d definitely raise suspicion.

After all, there had been a commotion when Eri had transformed from male to female a while back.

“Should I lend you something?”

Darling offered nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal.

That wasn’t a bad idea for Kraush either.

“Sure, lend me something.”

“Got it. I’ll need your measurements, so drink the potion first.”

Then, Kraush realized why Darling was so eager to help.

She wanted to see him transform into a woman right in front of her.

He almost felt like giving her another punch, but Kraush patiently opened the potion bottle cap.

After all, he really did need that uniform.

Kraush downed the potion in one go.

‘It tastes like strawberry milk.’

How does a potion even have that flavor?

Just as Kraush was pondering this, his body made a loud noise.

Having transformed into Kradd before, he was somewhat prepared and patiently waited.

Then, he noticed his view getting lower.

He was shrinking!

Soon, he felt a tightness in his chest and the back of his pants pinching.

At the same time, his throat tickled; Kraush involuntarily coughed.

“Ahem, cough, cough.”

The voice that came out was in an incredibly high pitch.

As he raised his hand to the back of his neck, he felt his hair getting longer as well.

Kraush turned his head.

And there was Darling, staring blankly at him.

“Did it work?”

Hearing her usual tone coming out in a high pitch was quite a mismatch.

However, even as Kraush asked, Darling continued to look at him blankly.

Then, something dripped from her nose.

It was a nosebleed.

Feeling a strange discomfort due to that, Kraush wrapped his arms around himself and stepped back a couple of paces.

As disgust filled Kraush’s eyes, Darling belatedly covered her nose with her hand.

“Ah, sorry! I was up all night. Sometimes this happens.”

Of all times, why now?

Pinching her nose with a tissue, Darling quickly pulled out a hand mirror.

“Here, check this out.”

Receiving the mirror from her, Kraush looked at his reflection.

And immediately felt the urge to smash the mirror.

It was because he was staring at the younger version of his mother.

“Oh, hell.”

Kraush absolutely despised his mother.

Seeing someone who looked just like her was understandably repulsive.

But, despite that, he couldn’t deny that he looked quite attractive.

The sharpness he had as a male was softened by his feminine features, amplifying his appearance.

Moreover, perhaps due to the lunar body, his skin had turned particularly pale, giving him an icy impression.

“Why do I have to look like this? It’s so unpleasant.”

Kraush turned away, as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have.

Meanwhile, Darling, who had gotten up from her seat, was intensely gazing at his body.

“Hey, girlfriend, care to take off your clothes?”

With the new title Darling had given him, Kraush’s eyes turned deadly.

Room 311.

Mary’s room.

The space outside was eerily quiet.

Not a single student dared approach, as if they wanted to stay away from here.

Thanks to that, he drew less attention.

Taking a deep breath, Kraush knocked on the door.

“Mary.”

He knocked and then fell silent, as which no reply reached him.

‘There’s definitely someone inside.’

She must be deliberately ignoring him.

Maybe she was hiding under the covers.

Kraush clicked his tongue and knocked louder.

“Open the door, would you? Let’s talk.”

But still, silence reigned from within.

He had expected she would let him in if he showed up, but she seemed more stubborn than he thought.

‘Now that I think about it, my voice is different.’

Realizing this late, Kraush decided to reveal his identity.

“I’m Krah...”

“What are you doing in there?”

At that moment, a voice from the side startled Kraush, making him turn his head.

There stood a figure holding a lunchbox.

With healthy skin and reddish hair, the person was Karandis Poseus, the ninth princess of the Poseus Kingdom.

Karandis tilted her head as she looked at Kraush.

Though her exotic appearance was quite striking, she seemed unfamiliar to him.

Yet, strangely enough, she had an air of familiarity.

As Karandis gazed in confusion, Kraush straightened his posture.

“I was just here for a little something.”

“For Mary Diana?”

Karandis looked at him curiously.

Then, as if she had noticed something, her expression turned skeptical.

“Oh, so you’re here to criticize her again?”

Kraush blinked in surprise at this strange misunderstanding.

Taking a short sigh, Karandis continued.

“You’re one of Sigrid Ephania’s followers, right? The ruckus during the midterms wasn’t just Mary’s fault, so don’t be too harsh on her.”

Kraush looked at her with disbelief.

Was Karandis really defending Mary?

That was quite unexpected.

“Didn’t you have a bad relationship with Mary?”

As Kraush questioned her, Karandis scoffed lightly.

“Of course our relationship isn’t great. But we’re both in the Special Class, after all.”

Even though Mary had failed the midterms, she still remained in the Special Class.

Karandis added that they all knew about Mary’s abilities.

“You’ve got to take care of what needs to be taken care of. What’s the point of throwing away a good classmate?”

Was this who Karandis truly was?

Kraush had always viewed her as a seductress trying to change her life through men.

But there seemed to be unexpected depth in her character.

“Thus, if you’d be so kind, please leave. It would be best if there are no disturbances while Mary eats. She hasn’t been eating lately.”

As she spoke, she placed the lunchbox in front of the door with the bag still attached.

It seemed Karandis had been looking after Mary’s meals while she hid in her room.

“No, If that’s the case, I have to go in.”

Just as Kraush replied, Karandis tilted her head in confusion.

Kraush raised his hand and knocked loudly on the door.

“Mary, it’s Kraush. Let’s talk.”

As he spoke, Karandis’s eyes grew wide as her expression began showing recognition.

Realizing something familiar about Kraush’s appearance, she looked flustered.

“Kr, Kraush?”

“Shh.”

Kraush leaned closer, placing his finger on his lips just in front of Karandis’s face.

Immediately, her face turned beet red.

Seeing him up close, her heart raced; he was even more striking than she’d thought.

As Karandis fumbled with her words, a loud noise could be heard from inside.

It was evidence that someone was listening in.

Just after, the door creaked open slightly, and Kraush quickly accepted Karandis’s lunchbox while waving goodbye to her.

“Karandis, good to see you again.”

With those parting words, Kraush stepped into the room, leaving Karandis standing there in shock.
