CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 201: WHEN AUTUMN IS COMING, I WILL CHANGE COLOR TOO

After leaving the interview, Shami prepared to tell the news to her Demon Envoy.

But the inn was empty.

She used the Demon King Ring to contact the Flat Golden Retriever.

"We’re in the countryside~"

Shami frowned.

"Why did you suddenly go to that kind of place?"

"Always staying in the city, sometimes you want to see some natural scenery, right? Besides, autumn is almost here, Shami!"

"What’s this got to do with autumn?"

"There are some things that if you don’t do in autumn, you can’t do later."

The Flat Golden Retriever’s voice pretended to be deep, with a hint of melancholy.

"During the last moments of late summer, it’s common sense to enjoy things you can only do in next year’s summer."

As soon as the voice dropped, Shami heard a little water sound from the other side.

Could this guy be swimming?

Shami found a secluded corner and used the Teleportation Gate to teleport beside the Flat Golden Retriever.

This was the countryside east of Saint Karno City, where large patches of green forests and plains intertwined, by the lakeside of a small lake located at the edge of the forest and plain, she saw four maidens.

There was an orderly row of round pebbles by the clear lakeside, and the four maidens sat on the pebbles, with shoes placed beside them, soaking their feet.

"Look, there’s a cute little bunny over there."

The Elf Maiden pointed towards the forest.

"Ah, so cute~"

The White-haired Maiden’s eyes lit up.

The Magical Girl calmly looked over, seeing the two seemed to like rabbits, she slowly said.

"I also really like small animals. Everyone, if you have time, you can come to the Fata; the rabbits inside are..."

"Shami?"

The Dragon Race Maiden exclaimed.

Shami approached the four who were chatting leisurely.

"So that’s what it meant; I thought you guys went swimming."

"It’s almost September when we need to wear jackets, swimming would be too cold in the water."

The Elf Maiden looked up at Shami, her two snow-white little feet gently swaying in the clean lake water.

Beside the Elf Maiden were the Heroic Maiden, the Dragon Race Maiden, and the Magical Girl in order.

Their similarly small feet were all soaking in the lake water.

If this lake water could be drunk, it would surely be very tasty.

"Shami, do you want to join us?"

The Elf Maiden patted the spot beside her.

Shami hesitated for a moment, then sat down beside the Flat Golden Retriever, took off her shoes and socks, and also put her feet into the lake water.

Sitting on the pebbles allowed the lower part of the calves to be submerged in the water.

The four maidens’ feet were all elegant and appetizing, with toes that were clean and attractive like tender buds; the Elf Maiden’s and White-haired Maiden’s toes were glistening and jade-like, while the Magical Girl had painted her toenails with black nail polish, and the Dragon Race Maiden’s were a striking bright red, which had a unique charm.

Shami withdrew her gaze from the delightful sight.

The lake water was refreshingly cool, complemented by the breeze occasionally blowing from the shore, making the leaves rustle behind, and the boundless plain in front extending to the distant horizon, merging with the azure sky.

The five seemed to be on a verdant green planet, isolated from the world, with only the five of them.

Shami decided that in the future, the Demon King Castle should be built in nature, rejecting any industrial pollution.

The four maidens were all enjoying this peaceful and quiet time, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

"If only there was no need to start school~"

The Flat Golden Retriever muttered, propping her hands on both sides of her body.

"Saying that before school even starts!"

It felt like going from a battle anime to a slice-of-life anime, Shami retorted.

He turned his head to look at the maiden beside him, suddenly realizing that the Dragon Race Maiden was acting strangely.

The White-haired Maiden also noticed the surprising change in the purple-haired maiden beside her, her little mouth opening in shock.

"Elze, why did you suddenly change color?!"

Clearly, this morning, no, even at the start of the foot soak, Elze was a girl with dark skin, but now her whole skin tone had lightened by three or four shades, changing from dark-skinned to fair-skinned!

"Hmm?"

Elze looked at the people around her, all stunned, then looked at herself, and smiled sheepishly.

"Ah~ This is a normal phenomenon."

"Is it a Dragon Race’s skin change?"

The Magical Girl curiously looked over, poking Elze’s arm, seemingly wanting to see if there were any Dragon Scales.

"Ah, no, because my original skin color is like this."

"Huh?!"

"Because earlier I was in Senmai, this seaside city, right, where there was always strong sun and UV rays. So the skin adapted to the environment and slowly became dark. I stayed in the village for a while before, and now coming to the high-altitude cool plain, the dark skin slowly disappeared, restoring the original skin color."

Shami steadily looked at the Dragon Race Maiden’s feet in the lake water, which had changed from chocolate color to ice-cream color like the other three maidens, becoming even more enticing.

After Elze turned fair-skinned, she transformed directly from a beach bad girl into a purple-haired, girl-next-door type.

This is an autumn-type Dragon Race Maiden!

The Elf Maiden, the White-haired Maiden, and the Magical Girl had been with Shami for some time now and had seen quite a few things. After a moment of surprise, they returned to calm.

"If it’s like a chameleon, it’s understandable now."

"Hmm..."

"Would she turn red if she stayed in a volcanic terrain?"

"Maybe... if suddenly exposed to a very strong environmental change, the skin might undergo a small change too..."

Facing the maidens around her, the Dragon Race Maiden didn’t hide anything, speaking as if telling a story.
