ISEKAI? More like I See Crap!-Chapter 132: Unforgettable Moment ( )

As Hazuki sulked by the counter, muttering about child labor laws and extortion, Grimmon leaned down, whispering urgently to Ellyn.

"Princess, are you sure?" Grimmon whispered, his voice tense.

"This gown costs thirty gold coins..."

Ellyn smiled sweetly, her golden eyes shining.

"Hmm? Of course I know, Grandpa."

Grimmon wiped sweat from his brow. "B-But, Princess—"

"Grandpa?" Ellyn interrupted, her voice still light, but with a subtle royal weight behind it.

"Y-Yes, Princess?" Grimmon whispered back immediately.

Ellyn leaned closer, her tail swaying like a cat ready to pounce.

"That whole batch of loot Uncle sold you earlier... it’s worth more than ten gold coins, right?"

Grimmon hesitated.

"U-Umm..."

Ellyn tilted her head, her smile turning slightly sharper.

"Now... I believe this gown is already... paid for, right? Riiight?" she said sweetly.

Grimmon gulped.

"Y-Yes, Princess." He bowed his head slightly, defeated.

Meanwhile, Ridan floated beside them, smirking so wide it was practically oozing from his cloudy form.

Through telepathy, he snickered to Ellyn.

"Heh, I knew that old man tried to loot Hazuki. Ten gold? Hah! That haul could easily fetch more."

"I know~" Ellyn sang back mentally.

"Those necklaces alone could sell for three to five gold coins apiece," Ridan continued, listing like a shady merchant.

"And that mithril armor? Easy ten to fourteen gold coins on the open market."

"Tehe~" Ellyn giggled silently. "But this shop is half mine too, so..."

"Ohohoho~ good thinking, Princess."

Ridan spun midair gleefully, twirling around like a smug cloud.

"Royal blood and business sense! Truly terrifying!"

While Hazuki casually leaned against the counter, still staring at his adventurer card like it might sprout legs and run away, Ellyn and Ridan continued their secret telepathic conversation.

"Honestly, Princess... if you were the one handling the sale at the counter, how much do you think you would’ve paid for that loot?" Ridan asked, floating lazily beside her.

Ellyn smiled sweetly, tilting her head.

"Forty gold. Maybe a bit more."

Ridan let out a low, impressed whistle, twirling midair.

"Woooo~ This Grandpa is really sneaky, huh."

He circled around her like a lazy cloud.

Meanwhile, Hazuki hummed to himself, completely unaware that Ridan wasn’t even floating near him anymore.

Ellyn giggled telepathically.

"Well... ten gold is still a good price," she said.

"If it were other merchants, I believe it would’ve been even lower."

"Yep~" Ridan agreed, nodding.

"Probably around two to three gold at best.

And the worst part? This idiot here would’ve probably accepted it with a big, dumb smile."

Ellyn covered her mouth, stifling a real giggle as Hazuki glanced at her suspiciously.

"What’s so funny?" he asked.

"Nothing~!" Ellyn chirped, her tail swishing happily.

Hazuki narrowed his eyes but shrugged it off.

He had gold now.

He had freedom.

He had a shoulder-cat princess guiding him.

What could possibly go wrong?

"That’s why I made the deal with this bridal gown here," Ellyn said proudly, hands behind her back, her tail flicking happily.

She turned, smiling brightly at Hazuki.

"Uncle~ what do you think? About this gown?" she asked sweetly, her golden eyes shining with excitement.

Hazuki blinked.

"Huh? Let me see it up close."

He reached out casually and touched the fabric with his fingers.

The moment his hand brushed the shimmering white cloth—

FLASH.

An image exploded inside his mind.

A vision—so vivid, so clear—

A gorgeous catfolk woman, with long, flowing golden hair, soft, shimmering skin, radiant golden eyes sparkling with life.

She wore a glittering tiara, her royal presence undeniable.

And on her body—

The bridal gown.

Perfect. Elegant. Beautiful beyond words.

The gown hugged her curves like it was made by the gods themselves.

Every inch of her was stunning—

A true princess.

A breathtaking goddess.

Hazuki’s heart stopped for half a beat.

His brain, completely fried by the sheer divine-level beauty, acted on pure instinct.

Without thinking—

Without hesitation—

Without realizing—

He blurted out loudly—

"Ah! I LOVE YOU!!"

The shop went dead silent.

Grimmon froze mid-paperwork.

Ellyn’s ears twitched.

Ridan, floating nearby, nearly exploded into laughter.

Hazuki blinked, confused at the sudden awkward quiet.

"Huh? What? Why’s everyone looking at me?" he asked dumbly.

Ellyn’s cheeks turned slightly pink, and her tail curled tightly around her leg.

She smiled dangerously sweetly.

"Uncle~ you love me~?" she said, tilting her head cutely.

"Huh!? What!? NO—I mean—NOT LIKE THAT—WAIT—IT WAS THE GOWN—I MEAN—THE GOWN WAS NICE—NOT YOU—WAIT, NO—YOU’RE NICE TOO—BUT—NOT LIKE THAT—AAAAAAHHHHH—"

Hazuki’s brain self-destructed on the spot.

Meanwhile, Ridan was spinning in the air, laughing so hard he looked like he was going to evaporate.

"Smooth, dumbass. Smooooth~" Ridan cackled through telepathy.

Hazuki squatted on the polished floor, clutching his head between his hands, rocking slightly back and forth.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!! Why the hell did I say that!?" he muttered under his breath, utterly mortified.

Meanwhile, Ellyn—still holding the delicate bridal gown in her small arms—smiled gently.

She walked forward quietly, each step light, almost floating.

She stopped in front of him.

Then, without a word—

She leaned down.

And—

KISS.

Her soft lips pressed against Hazuki’s.

The world around them blurred.

For a moment, there was only warmth.

Hazuki’s eyes widened, frozen in pure shock.

But as they kissed, a strange, gentle glow began to radiate from Ellyn’s body.

The air shimmered around her.

Unseen by Hazuki, mana flowed from him—natural, unrestrained—into Ellyn, linking them briefly.

The bridal gown in her arms sparkled under the light.

Her Absolute Eye activated silently, its golden patterns shining faintly over her pupils.

And then—

Her true form began to emerge.

Her childlike body shimmered, the illusion gently peeling away under the force of the mana flow.

Standing before Hazuki now—

Wearing the glittering bridal gown—

Was not the little Ellyn he knew— freewebnoveℓ.com

But Ellyna.

The real Ellyna.

A stunning, near-adult catfolk princess, her golden hair cascading down her back, a tiara resting gently on her head.

Her curvy, elegant figure filled out the gown perfectly, every detail fitting her as if the gods themselves had tailored it for her.

She stood there, bathed in soft, radiant light.

Beautiful. Breathtaking.

Unmistakably royal.

Hazuki blinked.

Once.

Twice.

Still squatting.

Still confused.

Still holding his head.

He pointed up weakly.

"...Huh?" he croaked.

Meanwhile—

Grandpa Grimmon had turned away, pretending to reorganize imaginary papers, his face bright red.

Ridan floated a little higher, watching wide-eyed.

Then slowly telepathing to Ellyn,

"...Ohoho~ Princess... you just broke him."
