“Hmmm...”

The next day, I was waiting for Asuna in front of the hunter guild since we’d made plans to go hunting again together. However, she arrived while tilting her head left and right, seemingly deep in thought.

“What’s wrong, Asuna?”

“Oh, Liam. Well, you see...” Her lips twisted into an awkward, unplaceable smile. “Take a look.”

“These are...” I paused, looking at what she was showing me. “Envelopes?”

“They’re love letters.”

The unexpected word made me do a double take. “Love letters?” I looked back at Asuna in surprise.

She had taken out three letters and spread them out like a fan in her hands. “I was stopped three times on my way here.”

“Oh, wow...”

“I wonder what this is all about. This never happened to me before. Maybe it’s ’cause we beat a giant frog?”

Asuna looked like she was racking her brain, but since I knew she was way off the mark, I told her, “It’s because of the contract.”

“The contract?”

“The familiar contract,” I clarified. “I guess you didn’t notice? You got super pretty after it was formed.”

“Oh...” Asuna blinked. “Wait, WHAT?! R-Really?”

So she really didn’t notice, I mused. “You didn’t look in a mirror or something?”

“Come on, Liam. We commoners don’t have such expensive stuff in our houses, you know? Mine might’ve had some ten generations ago, though.”

“Oh... Right.”

I’d been living with one recently, so it completely slipped my mind. Mirrors were typically high-class goods that commoners wouldn’t bother furnishing their houses with so long as they could help it.

“Anyway,” I continued, “I think all those people approached you because you’ve become really pretty.”

“Wait, so my face changed?”

“No. You’re still you, just prettier now.”

Asuna smiled uncontrollably. “Well, I’ll be. Not only did that contract give me a new skill, it even made me prettier. Wow!”

“I looked through the archives in our manor after that yesterday, and apparently, the body evolves into its optimal form so that the familiar can use their skill to its fullest.”

“I see, I see. So that’s why...” Asuna began patting her own face as if the change didn’t feel real to her just yet. All the same, she didn’t look too dissatisfied about it—which wasn’t so surprising, since no girl would hate being called pretty.

Meanwhile, I held my chin and hung my head in thought.

“What’s up? Something on your mind?”

“Yeah. At this point, I want to try this familiar contract out a bit more, but unlike with normal magic, there’s the whole issue of finding someone to try it out on in the first place, so...”

It was different from contract summoning, where I could test as much as I wanted since I was only summoning a clone.

Asuna hummed contemplatively before suggesting, “In that case, I have someone in mind.”

“Hm?”

I lifted my face to see Asuna’s lips curling into a rather excited grin.
