She took off her shoes, trying her best not to make a sound, and walked towards Inaba Tsukiyo's room.
She had never stayed overnight at Inaba Tsukiyo's house before. This time, she came to thank Inaba Tsukiyo for her help, but judging from the current situation, Inaba Tsukiyo seemed to already be asleep?
Sure enough, when she arrived at Inaba Tsukiyo's door, she saw Inaba Tsukiyo lying on the bed, wearing bunny pajamas and breathing steadily.
"Tsukiyo-chan... she went to sleep so early."
Tachibana Koneko whispered. She had heard from Himejima Akeno before that young people were Animals who became more active the later it got, remaining energetic even in the early morning hours.
But it was only nine o'clock, and Inaba Tsukiyo was already asleep, which was completely different from Himejima Akeno's description of young people staying up late.
Tachibana Koneko walked up to Inaba Tsukiyo's bed and curiously examined Inaba Tsukiyo's pajamas. This full-body bunny sleepsuit was very much her style.
During their usual interactions, Tachibana Koneko had mentioned that Inaba Tsukiyo resembled a little rabbit, and Inaba Tsukiyo had not refuted it, saying that her favorite Animal was the rabbit.
Later, Inaba Tsukiyo showed her something she had carved out of boredom while at home... it was a rabbit.
However, unlike the rabbits usually seen in pet stores, this was a rabbit that could be considered a demonic creature; it looked very much like a monster, both in its eyes and its teeth.
Tachibana Koneko really wanted to complain about how Inaba Tsukiyo managed to create something so terrifying when she couldn't see.
Also, did she misunderstand the word 'cute'? Something like this would definitely scare Little Girls, and she didn't know what Inaba Tsukiyo was thinking.
Anyway, when she first saw those carvings, the illusions made her sweat profusely, and she almost revealed her true form out of fright.
Unable to resist, she reached out and poked Inaba Tsukiyo's cheek. Finding no sign of her waking up, Tachibana Koneko's eyes darted around, and she turned and left the room.
After about half an hour, Tachibana Koneko returned to the room. She had changed out of her uniform, now wearing a short shirt on top and only panties underneath.
She carefully climbed onto the bed, slipped into the covers without making a sound, and immediately hugged Inaba Tsukiyo.
Inaba Tsukiyo's soft body made Tachibana Koneko feel as if she were hugging her own pillow, and combined with the pleasant scent, Tachibana Koneko couldn't help but nuzzle her.
As deeper drowsiness overcame her, Tachibana Koneko slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Just after Tachibana Koneko fell asleep, Herrscher Tsukiyo emerged from her body. She looked at the scene before her with dissatisfaction, pouted, and went back inside.
(Victorica: Again? Note it down, note it down.)
Just as Herrscher Tsukiyo was preparing to ignore the situation, something Inaba Tsukiyo had placed in the Imaginary Space reacted.
That was Inaba Tsukiyo's exclusive weapon—Mikazuki Munechika.
Inaba Tsukiyo had placed a herrscher core inside her. Although Bella had obtained a human form through this method, Bella was originally a living being.
But Mikazuki Munechika was different; even if she was a famous sword, she was only a famous sword.
The reason the herrscher core was implanted inside her in a special way was because Inaba Tsukiyo's feelings for Mikazuki Munechika were second only to Victorica.
Ever since she became Inaba Tsukiyo, Mikazuki Munechika was the only one by her side. This weapon had accompanied her for hundreds of years, and it had followed her through countless difficulties.
Therefore... after Inaba Tsukiyo's strength was sufficient, she tried to see if she could use this method to allow Mikazuki Munechika to gain a human form, just like Bella.
However, after the herrscher core was implanted into Mikazuki Munechika, Mikazuki Munechika fell into a very strange state.
To prevent any accidents, Inaba Tsukiyo had kept her in the Imaginary Space during this time, allowing her to complete her transformation in this safest environment.
Now, Mikazuki Munechika finally merged with the herrscher core, and countless streaks of lightning appeared on the sword body.
Amidst the spreading lightning, a fierce thunder force erupted, centered around Mikazuki Munechika, completely enveloping the surrounding space.
After the thunder dissipated, a Little Loli appeared where Mikazuki Munechika had been, dressed in a black gold-silk kimono and sporting long black hair that reached her waist.
The Little Loli slowly opened her eyes, and her beautiful, azure pupils, like sapphire, shone with a strange light.
She looked at her hands with some discomfort, tentatively moving her body. As if confirming something, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
"I didn't expect... Master really succeeded. Haha~ Truly... I never imagined that I would be able to meet Master in this form."
The Little Loli showed a cute smile. She hadn't expected that she could exist in this way. Originally, she thought she could only silently watch Inaba Tsukiyo.
However, she was already very satisfied just by watching Inaba Tsukiyo. She... didn't have any great desires; all she wanted was simply to stay by Inaba Tsukiyo's side.
Suddenly, the Little Loli felt wetness on her face. When she reached up, she found traces of water on her hand.
"Could it be... I cried? Haha~ This really is a strange experience. Is this what they call crying tears of joy?"
Wiping away her tears, the Little Loli was eager to let Inaba Tsukiyo see her current appearance. She didn't know how long it had taken her to achieve this human form.
Just as she wondered how to leave the Imaginary Space, a portal suddenly appeared before her eyes.
The Little Loli paused for a moment, then walked in without hesitation.
The place where the Little Loli appeared was Inaba Tsukiyo's room, and she successfully saw Inaba Tsukiyo on the bed.
However, when she saw Tachibana Koneko next to Inaba Tsukiyo, the Little Loli puffed out her cheeks unhappily.
"Stray cat."
