Evolution of a Girl

The latter chuckled, "Mikoto is actually a cheerful girl. If she were a boy, she would definitely be a good choice for a spouse. I sometimes fantasize about her confessing her love to me."

"Well……"

Mikoto blushed slightly after being lightly teased.

"Most of Elis is safe. This is a country protected by the God Sakura. But the outside world is too dangerous. Those goblins will do cruel things to women, and those monsters are also extremely terrifying. Becoming an adventurer is not such a good thing." Colin was a little helpless, but noticing Mikoto's expression, he thought for a moment, "But learning magic may be possible. But magic is a very expensive thing."

"Magic... costs money?" Mikoto was surprised.

Seeing how common magic items were, she thought they were simple.

Colin pondered for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out how to explain this "foreigner." He considered for a moment, then said, "Men are cheap, but women are expensive. In Elis, women don't produce or work, so they're considered to be refined and beautiful, while magic and most knowledge are considered useless. Therefore, those who want to learn magic must pay heavy taxes. I'm not sure about the situation in your place, but it's probably similar."

Mikoto frowned.

She wanted to argue.

But after thinking about her memories, she found that the situation was indeed not as romantic as in those comics.

In the country in my "memory", it seems that the status of women is also rather delicate, and women are more of a tool for marriage and reproduction.

Is this the evil feudal society?

Mikoto felt like she understood a little.

At that moment, Mikoto even considered whether she should... run away.

Yes.

Escape, leave here completely.

And then... become an adventurer.

Although life here is good, it is not what Mikoto wants.

"But I have some connections with the court wizard of a neighboring country. That magical wizard can always come and go without anyone noticing." Lord Colin spoke again at this time, "It's a little risky, but if you insist..."

"Uncle..."

Mikoto actually felt subtly moved at this moment.

"I'll have him teach you the basics. But at the same time, I hope you can think carefully about your future. While learning magic, I also hope you will work hard to become a canary lady, okay?"

"Okay, uncle!"

Mikoto perked up.

Finally I have the chance to learn magic!

……

My hand slipped... I wrote 450 chapters in one go, but they were all about persecuting Mikoto, so I haven't uploaded them yet.

I'm thinking about spreading myself out a bit and writing SEED first... ahem...

Chapter 446 Am I the weakling who wants to quit the group?

After her "reincarnation", Mikoto has not yet learned magic, but she has already experienced some magic.

The next morning, Mikoto was asked by the maid Dorothy to take a bath and clean herself, and then she began to dress up.

"Hmm...it's really gotten longer."

The makeup artist was putting makeup on Mikoto, and her hair had been forcibly grown long and tied into a bun by magic a few minutes ago.

Lord Colin thought that Mikoto with short hair could not even appear in public, so he quickly found someone to help her adjust it.

After her hair grew back, Dorothy brought new clothes for Mikoto.

This also has a Victorian feel, but is much more… open in its conservativeness.

On the inside was a silk garter and a straight dress, and on the outside was a new corset that Lord Colin had prepared. This corset was long and tight.

After putting on the corset, Dorothy began to tighten the belt.

“Oh… No… I’m going to die! It’s too tight!”

Mikoto was a little breathless, but Dorothy's strength was quite strong. Although Mikoto protested, it was useless.

Dorothy's gloves were obviously not ordinary gloves. They were even more powerful than those of men. Mikoto didn't stop until she felt dizzy.

This world has healing magic, so no matter how tight the corset is, it will not cause problems with the internal organs or body. But because of this, these people are much more cruel when wearing corsets than those on Earth - because of the healing magic, the waist itself cannot be abnormally thin, and can only be maintained by increasing the strength.

"Hmm..." Mikoto felt that she could hardly breathe while wearing the corset, and she couldn't bend over. She even felt a strong tightness in her waist and pain in her ribs from being compressed.

At this moment, Mikoto felt a soothing sensation coming from her corset.

The healing magic above was activated, and the pain in the ribs disappeared. Instead, there was a very comfortable feeling.

Although there was still a feeling of suffocation, other than that, it was surprisingly very... comfortable?

"Is it over?" she asked.

"No, we're just beginning, miss." Dorothy smiled.

Yes. We've just begun.

After the waist was cinched, she was covered with several layers of petticoats, and then the actual dress came on. It was a blue ruffled long dress. The top part was tightly attached to the upper body, but the bottom expanded and spread out like a blooming flower. The arms were even more exaggerated. The sleeves of the dress also expanded, like a flower bud, and the sleeves even had an iron cage.

"You have to do this with your sleeves?" Mikoto felt that her hands were difficult to move.

"It's called a leg-of-mutton sleeve, miss. Don't you think it's very elegant?"

It does look good, with petal-like expansion and lining on top, but it tightens at the arms, which is indeed elegant, but the hands cannot move.

"I can't move my hands."

As an expert in both railgun and gaming, Mikoto found it hard to accept that her hands were being controlled in this way.

"Misaki, you are now a noble lady of the Colin family. You don't need to worry about this. You don't need to use your hands, because noble ladies have servants to serve you." Lord Colin walked in. "Good morning, my dear Misaki."

"Uh—good morning, uncle."

Mikoto said hello, silently repeating "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

After finishing the clothes, Dorothy took out a pair of white lambskin gloves. The gloves were very long, covering the part below the leg-of-mutton sleeves, and were fastened to the leg-of-mutton sleeves with buckles at the elbows.

The gloves were also very tight and stiff. Mikoto felt like her fingers were completely unable to move, and even if she tried to move, she couldn't grab anything.

Afterwards, Dorothy sat Mikoto down and began putting on her makeup.

"It is done, my dear lady."

After putting on her makeup, Dorothy held a mirror in front of her.

The childish and cute Japanese beauty from before has changed a lot at this moment. Instead, she has an Elis-style feminine makeup: her eyelashes are as long as a doll's, her lips are thickened, as if they have changed from cherry blossom petals to rose petals, her face is painted with rouge, showing a rosy white, and her eyebrows are drawn high with arches, adding a touch of Western style to her appearance.

Mature but not vulgar, it has enough style yet carries a hint of immaturity. Even a child can possess feminine charm.

This is already a very Elis-like face. Mikoto is not sure whether she likes this kind of makeup, but she does have some different feelings.

In her "previous life", Mikoto was just a girl of thirteen or fourteen, but in this world, she is even younger. However, because of this makeup that reflects her feminine features, she has a wonderful sense of accomplishment that she has become an adult.

With the dress she was wearing, Mikoto actually felt like she had become a princess from the Victorian era...

Well……

so beautiful.

This is who I am now...

However, the good mood only lasted for a few minutes before it was ruined.

Because after putting on makeup, the next step is to put on shoes, and the other party prepared a pair of high-heeled boots for Mikoto.

After putting on her shoes, Mikoto was almost trembling while standing.

Lord Colin next to him was very happy, and said that he would ask the court painter to draw her appearance and send it to Mikoto's father who was fighting for his sinking country.

"Whirring whirring……"

Mikoto walked out of the bedroom slowly, taking small steps in her dress that was as heavy as a mountain. She felt her whole body trembling.

"Lord Colin, hello. Mikoto, good morning~" As soon as she came out, Mikoto saw Kamishiro Ruri.

She was wearing the same dress as herself, but unlike the troubled Mikoto, she was graceful, her expression calm, and even her gait was graceful and elegant.

Mikoto's eyes widened.

"Ruri...are you...okay?" There was something wrong with both of Mikoto's words, but the other person seemed to be fine.

"It's a great experience, isn't it?" Liuli smiled, "This kind of life is quite interesting."

After she finished speaking, she followed Mikoto and went to the restaurant with her.

"..."

Looking at the relaxed Kamishiro Ruri, Misaka Mikoto fell into deep doubt about herself.

Isn’t it because there is something wrong with the world, but because I am not good enough?

So I'm just a weakling who wants to quit the group?

Mikoto came to the restaurant with self-doubt, but she didn't eat much because her stomach couldn't hold any more.

"Once the king's order arrives, you will come with me to the capital," Lord Colin explained. "You will rest here and enjoy the sightseeing. I will take the princess to see the king first. Once we arrive in the capital, you will be able to meet your aunt, Mikoto."

In the next few days, Mikoto and Ruri toured here together.

Mikoto also took the opportunity to learn about this country and its society.

This place is indeed very close to the Middle Ages, but Elis seems to be very different from other countries. The protected Elis is stable both inside and outside.

This is a country of magic, but most of the people who use magic are men. There are very few women, and most of them are foreigners.

What made Mikoto even more confused was that many of these foreign women were trying their best to wrap themselves up and tie their own hands and feet in order to squeeze into the upper class of Iris. She couldn't understand it.

Traveling can broaden your horizons, but it is not an easy thing to do, because every time Mikoto goes out, she will be put on a huge soft hat with ruffles. The hat is very luxurious, but it is just a hindrance for Mikoto, because the vision on both sides of the hat is blocked, and there is a veil in front, and the hat is supported by clothes, so when Mikoto turns her head, the hat will not even turn with it, and she needs to move her whole body to see the front.

But Mikoto found herself quite popular here.

Whenever she walks on the street, passers-by will stop and look at her, and restaurants and tour guides will affectionately call her "the cute and beautiful little lady."

Mikoto thought of Shokuhou Misaki, one of the seven esper users she always argued with. She was always so popular.

Unfortunately, I have been "reincarnated".

"But if I learn magic, maybe there's a way to go back. Isn't that how all those stories end..." Mikoto didn't give up hope of returning. But reason told her that waiting like this wouldn't work, and that extraordinary magic was the best option.

However, before heading to the royal capital, the "court magician from the neighboring country" that Lord Colin had contacted also showed up.

"Oh my, what a lovely young lady! Hello, I'm Roswaal L. Metzas."

Mikoto stared at the clown-like man, stunned...

……

After thinking about it, I decided to persecute her until Mikoto wakes up from her dream.

I'll give you a few hundred more words in these chapters.

Well... Liuli is the heroine, so there shouldn't be any problem in describing the world in which the heroine lives... ahem.

Chapter 447: So envious... No, so vulgar!

——This world pill.

Magic is indeed quite similar to super powers.

When Misaka Mikoto saw Lord Colin and the man named Roswaal appear in the room in an instant, she thought it was teleportation.

But later she found out that this was a special teleportation using the petals of the sacred cherry blossoms as spellcasting materials. Only masters with high magical attainments could use it, but using the petals of the sacred cherry blossoms, one could reach almost everywhere in Elis.

however……

You said you were a court wizard, why do I feel like he's a clown?

While Mikoto was speaking, Roswaal was also looking at Mikoto.

Roswaal is definitely the foreigner who knows this country best.

The reason is simple, because Roswaal has a gospel that can predict the future to a certain extent.

However, there is absolutely no record in the book about this "country protected by the divine cherry blossoms".
