Wuhua had dreamed many strange dreams in the past. Dreams of jumping off a tall building, traveling with strangers, and even having ambiguous relationships with women…
Of course, among them were dreams of becoming a girl. But for her now, that was no longer just a dream.
“…Mm.” Humming a cute, low sound, Wuhua slowly opened her sleepy eyes. What met her gaze was an extremely cute room.
She took a light breath, and a thick, fragrant scent filled her nose. This was the first time Wuhua had discovered that those two words could be combined.
‘Right. I’m in Lianying’s room.’
‘I slept in the same bed with her last night, and then woke up.’
‘I still can’t believe the company’s plan succeeded so easily.’
Wuhua’s slightly hazy brain raced as she gradually sorted out the situation. She turned her head, wanting to look for the young girl who might still be fast asleep—
“Heh heh, heh heh heh.”
Then what she saw was Lianying, who was lying on her side facing Wuhua’s direction. She was only wearing panties on her lower half, holding the back clasp of her bra with both hands, about to fasten it while looking in the full-length mirror.
Such a dreamlike, almost fanservice-worthy scene made Wuhua wonder if she was dreaming. For her former self, even imagining it would have seemed impossible.
Therefore, she hid under the covers and unconsciously stared for a while.
“Hm? Oh, Xiao Hua, you’re awake.” Lianying happened to notice her and quickly approached the bedside.
“Sorry, did I wake you up with the noise of changing?” Lianying placed one leg on the bed and the other between Wuhua’s legs.
With her prominent chest and fair collarbone, Wuhua only had to look down to see everything clearly. With every word Lianying spoke, a warm breath brushed across Wuhua’s face.
“Mm, mm. Good morning, Big Sister Lianying.” While Wuhua was still wondering what she intended to do,
Lianying slowly extended both hands, reached under Wuhua’s armpits, and placed them on her shoulders. Then, with a gentle effort, she lifted Wuhua up.
“…” Wuhua’s mind went blank in an instant. She neither spoke nor struggled, letting her head rest on Lianying’s shoulder.
‘This is totally the way you’d hold a baby!’
‘And she’s only wearing underwear. I feel like if I move, I’ll touch something I shouldn’t.’
Wuhua thought to herself, and then noticed that Lianying wasn’t speaking either, maintaining this strange hug.
“Lianying… Big Sister?”
“Ah, oh, it’s nothing, nothing!” Lianying casually set Wuhua down, letting her stand on the bed.
“I just… suddenly felt like doing that. Hehe.”
“…Haah.” Wuhua didn’t say much. After such a shocking scene, going back to sleep was unlikely. She had no choice but to turn around and get off the bed.
At the same time, the doorbell suddenly rang from the entrance.
“Ah. Coming, coming!” Lianying replied casually, appearing to intend to go to the door naked.
“Wait, Big Sister Lianying! Your clothes!” Wuhua called out in reminder and volunteered herself.
“Let me get the door instead.” Saying that, she quickly went to the entrance and raised her hand to open the door.
…
…
“So slow. If we don’t leave soon, we’ll miss the bus…” The girl who had been looking straight ahead slowly lowered her gaze when she didn’t see the person.
“Huh, Wuhua? Why is it you? Um, where’s Lianying?”
The sudden visitor who found herself face-to-face with Wuhua was Qinglan. She crouched down to match Wuhua’s height and asked gently.
Her sky-blue, silky hair was tied back in a simple ponytail with a hair tie. Her neatly cut bangs, clean and well-proportioned features—flawless. Her figure was also well-maintained; both her arms and thighs were slender and perfectly balanced.
Paired with her obviously high school student uniform—pants, a base layer, and a jacket—she exuded an intellectual beauty in the bleak autumn wind.
“Big Sister Lianying…” As Wuhua turned to look toward the room, Lianying, also dressed in her uniform, happened to come out.
“Sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting. Let’s hurry and leave; maybe we can still catch the bus.” Lianying sat down on the shoe cabinet in a hurry.
“Go ahead and call the elevator. I’ll put on my shoes and be right there.”
“Sigh. I can’t stand you. You’re in such a rush every morning—why not wake up earlier?” Qinglan said that, but still went to press the elevator button.
“Oh, right. I was originally going to leave a note.” Lianying suddenly remembered something and slowly spoke.
“I forgot to tell you yesterday, Xiao Hua. Today is Monday, a weekday, which means Qinglan and I have to go to school. You need to stay home and wait for us to come back, okay?”
“Huh, right, that’s right. Big Sister Lianying still has to go to school.” Wuhua finally realized.
Even with her special identity as a Magical Girl, Lianying still had to go to school like any other high school student. Or rather, having been treated so gently with maternal care, Wuhua had almost forgotten that the girl before her was only fifteen years old.
‘So she was changing into her uniform just now. I thought she was just taking off her pajamas.’
‘But if Lianying is going to school, what am I supposed to do at home?’
Before Wuhua could get an answer, Lianying was already about to rush out the door. Before that, she didn’t forget to turn back and instruct.
“You can do anything at home. But don’t go outside, okay? It’s dangerous out there. Wait for me to come back like a good girl.” As she said this, Lianying patted Wuhua’s head.
Because Lianying was a Magical Girl, Wuhua couldn’t quite tell what danger she was referring to.
“Mm, I’ll be good.” Not wanting to make her worry, Wuhua agreed without thinking too much.
“Lianying, the elevator is here…”
Faced with Qinglan’s urging, Lianying seemed lost in thought and didn’t move for a while. Instead, she crouched in front of Wuhua, slowly leaned her face in, and then—
…
“Mwa.”
After Lianying gently left a soft kiss on Wuhua’s tender cheek,
“G-goodbye!” Satisfied, she finally lowered her head and, blushing, quickly left.
Wuhua watched her back disappear outside the door, then slowly closed the door as her heart raced.
“This is… a goodbye kiss?” Although Wuhua understood what she meant, she was still a bit surprised and unaccustomed.
Being so intimate with a teenage girl, and with her own current body—everything felt strange.
…
…
“Eh. So something like that happened.” On the other end of the phone, Mingji said in a teasing and mocking tone.
“You really lucked out, kid. I’m starting to get a little jealous.”
“What’s there to be jealous of… Hey, do you have that kind of interest? Are you actually a lesbian?” Wuhua asked in confusion.
“That and this are two different things. I envy that your job involves flirting with a teenage high school girl.” Mingji said through gritted teeth.
“While my job is listening to you brag without even realizing it, and having to cover for your actions and cooperate with your mission. God is really unfair.”
“…So Lianying has gone to school, and I can’t go out. Do I just stay here and wait for her to come back?”
“For now, that’s all you can do, until you get Lianying’s permission to go out.” Mingji said.
“By the way. Have you investigated Lianying’s home? Any noteworthy places or clues? Anything at all.”
“Well… Before I moved into Lianying’s home, I had the same fantasies and filters as you… Wait.” Wuhua remembered the doll from yesterday and that invitation.
“You probably won’t believe this, Mingji.” Wuhua lowered her voice mysteriously.
After waiting for the other party to impatiently ask “What?”, she slowly began,
“I might have a talent for becoming a Magical Girl. Or rather, that kind of opportunity.”
