Ring-ring~ ring-ring~
The next morning, at seven o’clock, Su Qi’s phone rang with a slightly noisy, crisp ringtone.
Hearing it, Su Qi instinctively jolted awake. After waking up, a doubt arose in his mind.
‘Huh? Why is my phone alarm going off at this time of day?’
As Su Qi wondered—
Mm~ Xixi~
“Xiao Qi, go turn off the phone. I wanna sleep a little longer.”
It seemed the alarm had woken up the one adult and two little ones on the bed.
Soon, a series of dazed whimpers sounded from the girl’s room, surrounded by faint fragrance.
Hearing those cute responses, Su Qi, a bit tired from selling bento last night, instinctively wanted to stay in bed a little longer.
But as a Su Wife, Su Qi quickly blinked his eyes open, still half-asleep.
Following habit, he reached for his phone on the nightstand.
But as soon as his hand stretched out, something unexpected happened. The nightstand felt soft and very bouncy—something was wrong.
Turning his head slightly, Su Qi realized the scene on the bed was hard to describe.
Last night before sleeping, the sleeping positions of the one adult and two little ones had been normal—lined up like a sandwich, big, small, big, small.
But how had it become this by morning? His sister was hugging him from behind, Little Red Pupil was hugging him from the front, and Su Xixi was even hanging off his arm. Were they trying to form a transformer?
Gently reaching out, he freed himself from the one adult and two little ones’ entanglement technique and picked up his phone.
After turning off the alarm, Su Qi thought for a long while. Only when he saw today’s calendar did he realize why his phone had rung that morning.
The reason was simple.
Since yesterday was Sunday when they sold bento, today was Monday—a school day.
In the past, when it came to school, Su Qi, as a good baby, would naturally go.
But looking at today’s calendar, he felt a complex emotion.
Emmmmm… Now that the Demon King is about to revive and the world is about to be destroyed, going to class feels weird in many ways.
Still, after some thought, Su Qi decided to go to school anyway.
As a beginner adventurer, he didn’t know what else to do if he didn’t go to school.
Besides, at school he could meet his good buddy.
He also wanted to discuss with his buddy the issue of Little Red Pupil’s nutritional meal.
After all, that topic was a bit sensitive. Contacting over the phone felt embarrassing in various ways.
Having made up his mind, considering the horror of falling back asleep—if he closed his eyes again, it might be afternoon—Su Qi decided not to sleep anymore. After covering the one adult and two little ones with blankets, he went to the bathroom to wash up.
A splash of slightly cool ice water hit his face, dispelling his drowsiness.
After changing into a simple dress, Su Qi made some simple breakfast bento, left a sticky note for his sister reminding her to feed the two little ones too, and walked out the door at 7:35.
Ding dong~
As soon as he stepped into the elevator, his phone sounded with a message notification.
Taking out his phone, Su Qi saw the sender was none other than his good buddy Mo Yu.
[Ah Qi, what do you want for breakfast? I’ll bring it for you.]
[Photo.jpg]
Seeing the considerate photo his good buddy had sent of the breakfast stall at the school gate, Su Qi felt a warmth in his heart.
‘My good buddy is so gentle and warm.’
But after looking at the two lunch boxes he had brought, to avoid wasting food, he quickly sent a message.
[Ah Yu, you don’t need to buy breakfast. I made bento this morning. We can eat together later.]
After sending that message, just as Su Qi stepped out of the elevator, he received Mo Yu’s reply.
[Okay, Ah Qi. If you just left, I’ll go meet you. Let’s go to school together.]
Not long after that reply, Su Qi, just out of the neighborhood gate, saw his good buddy Mo Yu jogging toward him.
“Ah Qi~”
Unlike her usual magical girl or normal girl outfits, perhaps due to the contrast needed for the Magical Girl ability, Mo Yu was still wearing the same boys’ school uniform Su Qi had worn when pretending to be a boy.
Seeing Mo Yu’s delicate features and familiar appearance of a cute young girl, Su Qi felt a bit emotional.
So much had happened recently. Not long ago, he had been like his good buddy.
But now he had become a full-blown beautiful girl.
While Su Qi was lost in thought, Mo Yu arrived beside him and naturally took his hand.
Perhaps because Su Qi’s looks were outstanding, and Mo Yu, as a boy, seemed soft and cute, as they strolled through the campus, occasional comments from people could be heard.
“Do beautiful girls nowadays all like soft, sweet-smelling boys?”
“What did that guy do to deserve such a pretty girlfriend? Damn it, my NTR soul is burning.”
“Sigh, I think that boy is really cute. I like him a lot.”
“??? Bro, stay away from me.”
After another boost in his Su Wife ability, Su Qi’s hearing was much sharper than before.
Hearing the passersby’s chatter, sensing the looks directed at his good buddy, it felt reminiscent of the time in the cafeteria when he had been with Senior Sister Lin—that ‘cabbage being rooted by a pig’ vibe.
Su Qi became curious: what would these people’s surprised expressions be like if they knew his good buddy was the Magical Girl?
That would be quite the contrast.
“Ah Qi, I saw a short video about Su Ji Bento this morning. You must have been very tired selling bento yesterday. If I hadn’t gone to the Saint Ruins, I could have helped you.”
While Su Qi was thinking, Mo Yu’s lowered voice, disguised as a boy’s, rang out beside his ear.
Hearing the slight disappointment in Mo Yu’s tone, Su Qi waved a hand.
“It’s fine, Ah Yu. With Elder Sister Wen Yin, Sister Lu Lu, Senior Lin Xue, and Little Ling helping, it wasn’t too tiring. Besides, you’re an S-rank adventurer; having a mission is important. By the way, did everything go smoothly at the Saint Ruins yesterday?”
Shifting the topic to the Saint Ruins, Mo Yu’s fair little face first showed a trace of hesitation, then quickly turned heavy.
After a brief pause, considering that Su Qi had consumed a ‘World Tree Fruit’ and needed to understand the Demon King’s castle issue, Mo Yu began to recount the five-second video footage of the Demon King’s castle.
In Su Qi’s opinion, even if the Hero Party hadn’t verified it, the map and predictions left by his parents shouldn’t be wrong.
After all, so far, the predictions left by his mother and the information given by his father hadn’t had a single issue.
Now, hearing Mo Yu relay the intelligence, Su Qi was somewhat surprised but, having some expectations, wasn’t too shocked. But seeing Mo Yu’s expression, he realized something: it seemed the Demon King, who had yet to show himself, was more powerful than he had imagined.
After discussing the Demon King issue, the atmosphere turned a bit heavy.
Mo Yu walked into Class 18. To prevent the breakfast from being affected by the grim mood, she quickly took out her phone and said, “Ah Qi, I saw your bento stand yesterday. Grown-up Little Red Pupil was super popular! And I feel like she became even cuter and more eye-catching after growing up.”
Looking at the short video Mo Yu handed over, Su Qi glanced at it curiously. The location was at last night’s Su Ji Bento stand.
Little Red Pupil was acting like a shop assistant, wobbling as she delivered meals to customers.
Because he had been busy cooking all day yesterday, Su Qi hadn’t noticed these details.
Now, seeing the big smile on the little one’s face, he found it incredibly adorable.
But besides being cute, he was also a bit surprised.
In the video, Little Red Pupil appeared alongside Su Xixi and An Xiaoling.
An Xiaoling was carefully keeping the two little ones from running around.
But now, looking closely at the customers buying bento, Su Qi noticed something strange.
The customers’ gazes were almost entirely fixed on Little Red Pupil.
Though the little one was a standard cute white-haired loli, An Xiaoling the elf was indeed cute, and fluffy Su Xixi was super soft as well.
Logically, people’s eyes should have swept over each of them evenly.
Curious, he opened the comment section. As he scrolled through comment after comment, he soon found a clue.
[Damn it, I’m not a lolicon, but I can’t take my eyes off this white-haired little loli!]
[Same as above. I’m not a lolicon either.]
[Officer, let me explain.]
Seeing these comments protesting innocence or praising Little Red Pupil, a bold guess surfaced in Su Qi’s mind.
‘Could it be that Little Red Pupil, after eating Elder Sister Wen Yin’s bento, has somehow inherited some succubus attributes?’
‘If that’s the case…’
‘If she ate my good buddy’s bento, would Little Red Pupil be able to cast some magic?’
‘Hiss… I feel like Little Red Pupil is going to become very, very powerful.’
