"Oh! Is Reid coming with us?"

"Yes. For safety's sake, of course."

"Oh..."

While Aisha and Patch were teleported by Lead's power to the Growth Pool in the Grace Catholic Home building, Lead checked for the leakage of one of her Lead shields. Luckily, for her, there were no visible flaws.

"Since you brought the swimsuits for the both of us, maybe we can try to not take too long in it so we don't end up being like Laurenpel; the Fairy Tale Character from the book of the same name."

"Wait. Do you read children's books?"

"Ah... Dolly used to read it with me before going to sleep. But now I'm a grown up, and a university student, I don't think I'll be talking about it again..."

"But you brought it up."

"I know. I just thought it was all 'Fictional'."

After they changed into their swimsuits(dark blue school swimsuits), they took a dip inside the pool, until their heads up above the water surface(Aisha wore a bun to prevent her hair from unintentionally growing, so did Patch, but with a short ponytail.)

"Can you get your head inside the water?"

Aisha turned her head towards Patch with shocked golden eyes—

"Ugh! My ears!"

"What is it?! Are you alright?!"

"Uh.. I'm a half elf, but... This rarely happened to me..."

"Something with your ears?"

"They! Argh! They're stretching!"

"Aisha! Your hair!"

"What?"

As Aisha's hair turned orange-red from her roots all the way to her bun, and her ears slightly stretched, her round eyes sharpen as well, but was still round in detail.

Patch didn't know what to say after the unintentional transformation of the half elf girl.

"Aisha?!"

"Well... I need your help..."

"What is it?"

"I need to face... face Ion..."

"How do you..?"

"Because I love him! That's why!"

"Oh.. But, Aisha."

"Yes?"

"He already has Leas by his side."

"I know. Even if he was, and until now, is still a nerd when it comes to chemistry, he still deserves love. I would like it if he has a harem of girls like her.. And me..."

"Are you serious?"

"Ahahaha! Take this!", Aisha splashed the water onto Patch.

"Hey! Don't do that!"

By then, Patch threw a splash of water back to Aisha, while Lead cleared her throat, leading them to stop.

"Even if 'children' are allowed to take a dip in this pool, I never thought that action might be forbidden by the rules."

"Say what?", both Aisha and Patch asked.

————

Now that Patch and Aisha went out of the pool, Aisha's bun had loosen and Patch's hair grew until his waist.
