Elze was quite worried about whether her appearance would cause a sensation.

The Dragon Race Maiden slowly reached out and touched the horns on the sides of her head.

They were firm, and as she stroked them, she could feel her nerves distinctly reacting, indicating that these were not fakes but a part of her living body.

She had genuinely grown a pair of horns, and they had come out via the foot massage from Shami.

Such a bizarre awakening method; the Dragon Race Maiden didn't dare to mention it again.

Once the dragon horns appeared, there was no way to retract them, nor could she wear the hats she bought before.

Now, returning to the Wisdom Academy with these things on her head, those old folks would definitely notice, attracting more of them to come and see.

Elze already envisioned herself being surrounded, feeling suffocated, but there was no choice. She steeled herself and entered the Wisdom Academy.

Back in the teaching building at the Wisdom Academy, she quickly encountered various old folks greeting her.

"Hi, Elze, you look adorable today as well."

"Elze, are you cosplaying a fawn today?"

"Elze, did you forget to take off the accessories on your head last night?"

The Dragon Race Maiden realized she had worried for nothing; people around her hadn't noticed that these were real dragon horns but regarded them as mere decorations.

For some reason, she actually felt a bit disappointed.

After a while, finally, an eighty-year-old maiden came to inquire about Elze's horns.

"These are dragon horns."

Elze hesitated for a bit and said frankly.

"Hahaha, Elze, don't joke around, are you saying you're a Dragon Race?"

"...Actually, dragon blood flows in my veins."

Elze said tentatively.

"Is Elze still lost in her personal introductory video?"

The old maiden chuckled, clearly having watched Elze's personal video.

"But I truly am a dragon."

The Dragon Race Maiden furrowed her brows.

She indeed had dragon blood flowing within her.

Why did she keep her identity a strict secret all the time, yet when she revealed it openly now, no one believed it?

Gradually, others surrounded Elze, all elders from the Wisdom Academy, looking at her as if she were their granddaughter.

"Elze, I actually wish you were a dragon; if you were from the Dragon Race, our Wisdom Academy's honor would be even greater."

"But putting on two horns doesn't make one a Dragon Race. At first, I thought you were playing a deer maiden..."

Elze remained silent.

The dragon horns on her head indeed didn't look intimidating, perhaps because she inherently lacked any intimidating traits like a chameleon.

"Exactly. Two main features of the Dragon Race: dragon horns and dragon tail. If Elze wants us to believe, she ought to at least disguise a bit more convincingly, should have a tail at least. Like this, isn't it bullying the honest folk?"

The elders chatted away, completely ignoring the Dragon Race Maiden beside them.

"..."

——

Back at the inn, the Dragon Race Maiden encountered Shami.

"You arrived just in time, Elze. Ah, let's go inside."

"Huh?"

Shami grabbed the Dragon Race Maiden, leading her into her room.

Once the Dragon Race Maiden regained her senses, she was inside her own room and quickly whispered.

"Wa, wait, aren't Lureya and the others home?"

"No, they're not."

The Dragon Race Maiden let out a sigh of relief.

Why was she asking this sort of thing?

The Dragon Race Maiden quickly shook off the chaotic thoughts and looked at Shami, voicing the confusion of the day.

"Do I need to continue hiding my identity?"

Elze pointed to her horns.

"Feels a bit challenging right now. But the students at the Wisdom Academy completely don't believe I'm from the Dragon Race."

"Perfect, because I'm here to talk to you about this issue."

In response to Elze's query, Shami replied, "No need. Elze, from now on, I want you to openly reveal your dragon identity."

The Dragon Race Maiden appeared slightly puzzled.

"Elze, although you successfully advanced in the knockout rounds, your ranking is pretty low. If you don't find a way to boost your popularity, you'll always risk being eliminated later."

"Actually, I'm already quite satisfied with having come this far..."

The Dragon Race Maiden murmured.

"No, your strength is far beyond this level. Don't harbor such thoughts of giving up! How could you see your body and looks as some cheap goods, you rascal!"

Shami motivated the Dragon Race Maiden.

The Dragon Race Maiden felt invigorated.

"Sor, sorry! I'm terrible! I will definitely get serious!"

"In the competition, you can't rely much on those old folks from the Wisdom Academy; they might only hold you back."

Shami said, looking at the Dragon Race Maiden's horns.

"Now, I need to enrich your other persona—the Dragon Race Maiden with dragon blood. With this distinctive feature, one can fully capture everyone's attention. And currently, openly revealing your dragon identity has no downside. What do you think?"

Despite being a manager, Shami still greatly respected the opinions of the idol maidens in her agency.

The Dragon Race Maiden paused for a second, didn't want to waste the effort Shami had invested in her, and nodded in agreement.

"Then, what do I need to do?"

Shami pinched her chin with her fingers, starting to analyze the upcoming path with the information she had gathered.

"At present, the public perception of the Dragon Race involves two features, dragon horns, and dragon tails. Only when these two features appear can a vivid Dragon Race image be formed."

Elze deeply agreed with this.

"And now that Elze has the dragon horns, she's still missing a tail. Here are two options: One is that I help you develop your dragon tail; the other is that you wear this tail in your daily activities."

In Shami's hand appeared a peculiar tail.

"How would I even wear this tail? I haven't seen..."

The Dragon Race Maiden stared for a moment, blushing.

"How can you casually pull out such a thing! This gentle two-choice question is too peculiar. I choose to develop the body."

Shami remained in a thoughtful pose.

"Considering that you successfully activated dual horns through a massage, there's a good chance massage can awaken your tail."

Shami seriously raised her head and looked at the Dragon Race Maiden.

"Elze, take off your shoes and lie on the bed; let's continue with the massage."

The Dragon Race Maiden paused for a moment.

Such a blatant yet reasonable request?

Elze couldn't think of any reason to refuse and obediently removed her shoes, lying on the bed.

Shami also climbed onto the bed.

"Wa, wait."

"What's the matter?"

"Close the door properly."

The Dragon Race Maiden, lying on the bed, cast a wary glance at the door.

After Shami complied, she returned to the bed and began massaging the Dragon Race Maiden's feet.

But it seemed to have no effect.

Except for the Dragon Race Maiden's face showing sheer bliss, her bottom showed no change.

Shami furrowed her brow.

"Is my massage technique flawed?"

"Surely, it was just a coincidence before; making Dragon Race Maiden grow horns through massage itself is an inexplicable mystic art, how could it be replicated?"

The Dragon Race Maiden spoke softly.

"True. Then let's massage the bottom; maybe directly massaging where the tail is supposed to grow will yield direct results."

The Dragon Race Maiden began to feel shy.

"Ho, how could..."

Where the tail should grow, wouldn't that be right above the butt?

Seeing the Dragon Race Maiden unwilling, Shami thought through reverse logic and arrived at another conclusion.

"Wait, last time the massage led to dragon horns on your head by massaging the soles of your feet. Perhaps you need to massage the corresponding place on—Elze, take off your underwear."

"Don't make lewd requests sound so serious!"

The Dragon Race Maiden's ears turned red.

"And the place corresponding to the butt should be the stomach, not inside the underwear!"

"Then Elze, show your stomach!"

The Dragon Race Maiden still obediently lifted her shirt to reveal her abdomen, and Shami began to massage.

At this moment, the Dragon Race Maiden clearly felt a strange sensation inside her body.
