Ending Maker SS #7 Your Name (2)
“Your Majesty, please wake up.”
At the soft call, Cordelia slowly opened her eyes.
Normally, this would make my eyes blurry and I would feel sleepy, but strangely, that wasn’t the case.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt like I suddenly came to my senses.
“Maya?”
“Yes, it’s your Maia. Now, wake up. It’s been a while since I’ve slept in.”
Cordelia blinked and looked surprised as Maia smiled softly, as if she missed her a little.
‘Your Maia?’
No, but was Maia the one who had such a gentle smile?
Whenever I met Juder at Count Bayer’s house, I would always meet Maia too, but she always had an expression as cold and calm as ice.
‘I’ve heard that you laugh a lot when you’re with Dahlia.’
But what should I say?
I should say it feels quite different from what I’ve heard.
Because Maia’s smile right now was really warm, gentle, sweet, and just nice to look at.
‘Anyway, it’s pretty, right?’
You even smile like that in front of Uder.
‘huh?’
In front of Yuder?
Cordelia’s intuition of deriving results without a process was intact.
And with Uder’s amazing computational power added in, the process was deduced immediately after seeing the result.
‘Maia is right in front of you. I told her that she was your master and told her to wake up without feeling awkward. I told her that it had been a long time since I slept in.’
That’s right.
That is, in Maia’s eyes, Cordelia herself appeared as Juder.
If so, why?
There were two main possibilities.
One was that Maia was under the spell of mental magic – specifically, a hallucination – and mistook Cordelia for Uther, and the other was that Cordelia herself had become Uther.
‘Either their appearances changed through polymorphism, or their souls were swapped.’
The former was more likely, but the latter possibility could not be ignored.
If it was the former, someone would have to switch their sleeping self and Uther, which would be physically difficult.
‘There’s no way I could just take it.’
Even if Cordelia herself were left out, there was no way that Uther would not have detected such movements.
Moreover, this is the home of Count Bayer.
If Count Bayer and Gale had left the mansion for an expedition or something, it might be understandable, but it would be difficult to do something like that while staying at home like they are now.
‘In other words, it is most likely that my soul and Yuder’s souls were switched.’
Cordelia was a little taken aback by the whole process that she had deduced in an instant, but she was soon able to accept this as well.
If Yuder and I really did switch bodies, then our brains would also be Yuder’s.
The essence of existence was in the soul, and so Cordelia was able to maintain her own self and memories, but she could not ignore the existence of the body.
Cordelia could tell immediately.
When it comes to brain performance itself, Cordelia’s own body was somewhat superior.
But Yuder’s brain was well trained.
So much so that Cordelia’s own thoughts were naturally guided in a similar way to Uther’s.
In comparison, Cordelia’s own brain was a monster car specialized only for running.
On the other hand, Uther’s brain was closer to an all-purpose supercar that could handle all sorts of things.
Cordelia may be faster, but Uther has more versatility in dealing with various situations.
And here’s one more thing added to it.
Cordelia usually didn’t think much about it, thinking that she could just leave it to Uther, but the basics were excellent.
Once he started thinking, his reasoning and creative abilities were quite excellent.
So instead of screaming or freaking out, Cordelia responded gently.
“Yeah, thanks.”
Because Uder usually spoke informally to Maia.
Rather than ignoring her, it felt closer to talking to a close friend.
Anyway, instead of showing her embarrassment, Cordelia acted in a way that made Maia feel at ease, and although Maia hesitated slightly due to a sense of discomfort, she soon nodded and left the room.
“Hmm, it’s really Yuder.”
Cordelia got up from bed and looked at herself.
During the time when he was suffering from dyslexia, Uder was shorter than Cordelia – in other words, he was in the early 160s, but things were different now.
He was in a late growth period as he had cured his nine-syllable veins with the Sun Necklace and Sunflower and learned the Nine Heavenly Gate to unleash his body’s potential.
I’m probably about 170 cm tall now.
“Oh, I feel good.”
I felt really new when I touched it here and there.
A firm yet soft feel.
It was completely different from Cordelia’s own body.
Is this the difference between a man’s body and a woman’s body?
Even though Yuder had good skin, he was still different from Cordelia.
But what was different was the body structure.
Cordelia had complete control over her entire body, almost like a trained warrior.
What this meant was that Cordelia could move her body as she pleased.
At first glance, it seemed like an obvious thing to say, but it wasn’t.
Because moving the body the way one intended was something only masters could do.
Most people couldn’t move their bodies the way they wanted to. No, it was difficult to control their bodies properly in the first place.
Therefore, those who learn martial arts first learn how to control their own bodies.
So did Juder, and so did Count Bayer.
But Cordelia had never practiced anything like that.
But she could.
That was one of her innate geniuses.
“Is it really different?”
Muscle mass is different, body structure itself is different, and what you can and cannot do is different accordingly.
“Wow, so that’s why you were campaigning like that.”
I was able to show off and say that I was good at everything I did with my body.
I felt like I could do all sorts of things with this body.
“Ohhh.”
Cordelia, who lightly struck the air, was impressed.
Because it was possible to make a truly lightning-quick jab.
“Your body is flexible too.”
The legs were also torn apart.
Even though it was clearly harder and tougher than Cordelia’s own body, it showed surprising elasticity and flexibility. The range of motion in its joints was also enormous.
“And abs.”
Cordelia smiled faintly and touched her belly – that is, Uther’s belly.
It was a really amazing feeling.
How can the human body become like this?
And one more thing.
There is one place that has been giving Cordelia a great sense of discomfort since a while ago.
But instead of satisfying her curiosity right away, Cordelia got up from her seat and stood in front of the mirror.
There wasn’t a full-length mirror like in Cordelia’s own room, but there was a fairly large mirror where she could see her face.
“Hey, you look a little cute?”
Because I couldn’t normally observe Yuder’s face in such detail for such a long time.
‘Well, it’s embarrassing······.’
Because the observant Yuder noticed my gaze right away.
“Hehehe, you’re handsome.”
What a peerless pretty boy.
There’s a reason why Uther and Cordelia are called a peerless couple in the biographies of heroes.
Cordelia, who was laughing a little more and observing Uther’s body, coughed and looked around. After confirming that no one was there, she put her hand on her waist.
And action.
“Oh. Same.”
It’s the same color as your hair.
and.
and.
“Ahem ahem ahem.”
Cordelia, her face reddening, coughed a few times and resumed her observation, but it didn’t last long.
“Hmm hmm.”
Even though his face turned red because of his body, his senses were still alive.
So Cordelia felt even more ashamed, and instead of acting again, she started to swear.
“Anyway, I became a yuda.”
Given the circumstances, it’s likely that Uther has become Cordelia herself.
‘Then I will probably send a letter soon.’
Because I had to meet Cordelia herself and confirm things.
‘Then should we wait for now?’
Until Yuder comes.
And for the rest of the time······.
A rather sinister expression appeared on Cordelia’s face.
&
Around the afternoon.
When Juder visited Count Bayer’s house, he had a sullen expression on his face, but Cordelia greeted him with a bright face.
“Miss Cordelia, thank you so much for visiting.”
“Yes, thank you for welcoming me.”
As the greetings were exchanged, Dahlia and Maia exchanged a glance and then quietly left the room, leaving only Uther and Cordelia in the room.
That’s why Uder shouted.
“Hey! What have you done!”
“Huh? What?”
As Cordelia asked in a natural manner with her face towards Uther, Uther shouted again in a muffled voice with his face towards Cordelia’s face – that is, with his face reddened.
“The maids in the house are reacting strangely! And Maia too!”
That’s right.
It was different than usual.
The maids blushed and looked embarrassed when they saw Yuder, and Maia also had a different expression on her face than usual.
Should I say it’s awkward or fun?
Even though he entered Cordelia’s body, Uther’s powers of observation did not die, and thanks to Cordelia’s unique senses added to it, he was able to detect even more subtle differences than before.
“No, what… you just treated me a little better than usual?”
Just go up to Yuder and talk to him kindly, help him with things, give him small gifts, and give him a warm smile on his face.
“You’re really handsome. Everyone seems to really like you.”
“hey!”
In short, it was said that he had been seducing the maids of the Count Bayer family without mercy.
“Hey, what about seduction? Just trying to seduce me a little? I wanted to try it once.”
In fact, the usual Cordelia would never have done something like this.
She was secretly shy and acted like a sensible person.
But now it was someone else’s body – Yuder’s body, to be exact.
So, a little bit of deviation was quite possible.
“Hey, first of all, I’m your fiancé, right?”
“Yeah, I know.”
Cordelia smiled slyly, and Uther felt the urge to punch himself in the face.
‘Wow, I was so unlucky.’
I never knew that a smile that was made while telling a lie could be so infuriating.
And I was even more upset because he was handsome.
And at this moment Cordelia had a similar yet different thought.
‘That’s why they increased the dosage like this.’
Because Cordelia’s own face, red from anger, was so cute.
Should I say it’s lovely?
“Ha. Anyway, I have to resolve this situation.”
Cordelia tilted her head as Uther spoke with a sigh.
“why?”
“uh?”
“No, so why?”
At Cordelia’s words, Uther blinked, then quickly jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Hey! Then should we just live like this?!”
“Is there anything that won’t work?”
When Cordelia started joking again, Uther trembled and Cordelia burst out laughing – no, hahaha.
“cute.”
Cordelia looks trembling with anger.
It was different for Uther and Cordelia, who didn’t have any particular feelings towards ‘Uther from Hero Chronicles 2’.
For Cordelia, ‘Cordelia of Heroes Chronicle 2’ was her so-called favorite character.
‘A life-size Cordelia is right in front of you.’
And then you just keep moving, getting embarrassed, throwing tantrums, and then you get tired of it and start sobbing.
Should I say that it is a situation where you can’t help but let out a “haaak haaak” sound?
“What, what is that dangerous look?”
Cordelia let out an eerie laugh as Uther unconsciously took a step back and covered his chest with both hands.
“Hey, you really sound like a pervert right now?”
“Well, that’s because you’re a pervert, Yuder.”
When Cordelia spoke as if blaming others, Uther began to feel his head heat up again, but he held it back for now.
The more I talked, the more I felt like I was being dragged into it.
“Anyway, we have to overcome this situation. Okay? We have to overcome it.”
“Then let’s tell our fathers.”
“Huh? Hey! What is that-”
That was it.
Uther opened his eyes wide, and Cordelia smiled and continued speaking on his behalf.
“This is the Pleiades. It’s a world where magic exists. In the real world, if we swapped bodies, you’d call us crazy, but not here. And it’s possible to bring the two of us here and verify it. There’s no reason to keep the fact that our bodies have been swapped a secret from our families.”
That was right.
There was absolutely no reason to hide it.
“Oh, no. I’m turning into Cordelia.”
Uder said without realizing it.
That was understandable, because I was once again shocked by the fact that I had failed to recall such an obvious yet simple fact.
“Hey, what do you mean? My body is also very powerful. I know because I took over your body. I’m probably faster than you in terms of calculation speed.”
“But it’s incredibly simple.”
“hey!”
The usual conversation took place, but only for a short time.
Uder took a deep breath and said.
“Father- So, if I tell Count Chase, will he be able to resolve this situation?”
“Maybe? Our father is a great wizard. We need to find out why this happened… It might take some time, but won’t we somehow find a solution?”
Count Chase was no mere wizard.
He was one of the greatest wizards in the Kingdom of Seilun, possessing a tower.
Natural connections are also great, so they will somehow find a solution.
“Ha, then that’s fortunate.”
Uther let out a deep sigh and dropped his shoulders. Cordelia flinched at the sight and suddenly swallowed dry saliva.
“But Yuder.”
“uh?”
“Anyway, it’ll take some time to get back to normal, right?”
“I guess so?”
“Well then······.”
Cordelia, whose words had been trailing off, stood up with a mhehehe laugh and walked over to Uther. She stared intently at Uther’s – or rather Cordelia’s – face and spoke with a happy expression.
“It’s the real Cordelia.”
Should we call it a 1:1 life-size figure that moves and lives?
“Can I just touch it a little? No, I don’t need permission. It’s my body.”
“Excuse me, over there?”
By the time she spoke, Cordelia’s hands had already been placed on Uther’s cheeks.
“Wow, it’s really soft. It’s fluffy.”
“Hey, what’s your momigud?”
His pronunciation was slurred because his cheeks were pulled back, but his meaning must have been conveyed clearly.
But Cordelia didn’t stop and started touching every corner of Uther’s body.
“Hey! Hey!”
“Don’t be so expensive······.”
Ehhhh, that guy laughing was a total pervert.
And Uther felt terrible at the fact that that face was somehow his own.
“Yuder, can I kiss your cheek? We’re fiancées.”
“What, what did you say?”
Even though Cordelia was flustered and even spoke formally, she wasn’t listening in the first place.
He grabbed both of Yuder’s arms and brought his face close to him.
To be honest, Yuder had been thinking about kissing Cordelia on the cheek for a while now, but it wasn’t like this.
That would be the case-
‘That’s my face coming!’
It’s not like we’re kissing in a mirror or anything!
“Hey, are you going to scream?”
“Hoohoohoo······ You haven’t forgotten that this body is yours right now, Yuder, have you?”
“Ugh.”
That’s right.
Even though it was Cordelia who was moving, if you looked at it through the eyes of a third party, it would have only seemed like Yuder himself was doing something strange.
“It’s cute even when you’re angry.”
“Ugh, please.”
Uther frowned, but Cordelia didn’t listen this time either.
He brought his face close to mine.
“omg!”
Uder opened his eyes.
I took a deep breath and finally realized.
“dream?”
That’s right.
It was a dream.
After all, it had been over a year since I had first visited the wild land.
After defeating Auriel in the system, he went all the way to Hell and defeated Asmodeus, and finally returned to the Pleiades and married Cordelia.
“ha······.”
Yuder sighed in relief again and covered his face with both hands.
For a dream, it felt incredibly real.
The memory was vivid as well.
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve had a dream.’
After I started learning the nine-thousand-word formula in earnest, my sleeping time was drastically reduced.
I think I dream occasionally, but not enough to remember.
‘Anyway, that’s fortunate.’
thank god.
Yuder sighed in relief and looked around. Then, without realizing it, he flinched in surprise and stepped back.
“Cordelia?”
A bed wide enough to have a wrestling match.
Cordelia, who should have been sleeping soundly, was awake.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Yuder as she spoke.
“I had a dream.”
“uh?”
“A dream. A dream where you and I switch bodies. The timing was right after I returned from the wild land?”
Uther was taken aback by Cordelia’s words.
And since it was Yuder’s own body, he was able to quickly draw a conclusion.
“You two had the same dream? Was it like psychic synchronization?”
“Maybe? Maybe it was the influence of the dream demon I met in Hell. Do you remember?”
“I could never forget.”
He was one of the few demons in Hell who had friendly relations with each other.
“Anyway… So you’re saying we had the same dream?”
“Oh, like we logged into an online game together?”
Uther tilted his head for a moment at Cordelia’s analogy, but soon let out a small “Ah” in admiration.
Because it was a perfect metaphor.
“But you know, Yuder.”
“huh?”
“I really want to try it.”
“uh?”
What does this mean?
You really want to try it? What?
“Don’t you think it would be fun?”
A mischievous smile spread across Cordelia’s face, and for a moment, a chill ran down Uther’s spine.
What Cordelia is thinking right now.
“Do you really want to change it just once?”
Cordelia said that, raising her upper body, and Uther broke out in a cold sweat.
That would be the case, because Cordelia was capable of doing something like that.
‘Because you are God!’
Archangel Cordelia Chase.
Compared to the real archangels, they still lacked the power and ability to use the power of the gods all day long, but they were able to use the power of the gods for a few hours a day.
Just as Uther himself can open the gate and temporarily transform into the guardian deity of the Pleiades.
“Let’s do it, Yuder. Okay?”
“Hey, you’re already doing it.”
“Hehehe.”
That’s right.
Cordelia had already activated her magic.
Uther quickly opened the sentence to try to resist, but Cordelia was a little faster.
And shock.
When Yuder opened his eyes again, he realized that his body had changed.
That would be the case, since Yuder himself was right in front of him.
“Wow, you’re much bigger than in my dreams. You’ve grown so much, my Yuder.”
It was Uther himself, pulling up his pants and looking inside, speaking. That is, Cordelia.
“hey!”
I blushed and shouted, but it had the opposite effect.
Instead, Cordelia, who had been triggered, immediately approached Uther and extended her hand.
“cute.”
“Excuse me, over there?”
And Uther was embarrassed.
‘Hey, it’s grown this big?’
His hands were big.
The difference in physique was beyond imagination.
Just a little bit – no, it was just downright scary.
Broad shoulders.
A slim waist like a leopard that completes the perfect inverted triangle.
Tight muscles all over the body.
It’s solid and huge.
His hands were so large that they covered his entire face.
“Uder is cute. Cordelia is cute.”
Wrong.
It was Cordelia who had already started to run wild.
Before Uther could do anything, Cordelia knocked him down with her large hand.
“I told you I’d scold you every day, didn’t I? Now it’s time for Yuder to get scolded.”
Cordelia said that, licking her tongue lightly, and Uther swallowed dry saliva.
I felt my heart pounding as if it was going to burst, and I had a slightly strange thought.
‘Well, he is handsome.’
Could this also be a kind of narcissism?
Or maybe it’s because Cordelia is inside anyway.
Either way, Yuder could no longer continue his questions.
