Li Yun waited nervously in the night.
There were very few people around—only two passed by in several minutes—making this the perfect place for a secret meeting.
Hiss—whoosh—
She took a deep breath. It was just a perfectly normal appointment, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling of sneaking around like a thief.
Maybe she was just afraid of running into someone she knew.
Besides, what she was about to say to Youyou was… extremely difficult to put into words!
“Li Yun, I’m here.”
Li Yun’s spirits lifted, and she faced Luo You with the most ordinary smile she could muster—but all she saw was a pair of soft, pale, white legs.
“Youyou!? Why are you dressed so—this is shameless, isn’t it?!”
“Oh come on, another leftover from the feudal era,” Luo You said, unimpressed.
“Short shorts are pretty common now, you know? It’s not like I’m just wearing underwear.”
“Your reaction is way over the top. Do you really care that much about someone’s legs?”
“Not at all! You always wear stockings when you see me; it’s just weird not seeing them now.”
“Hmph~ So should I go buy a pair and put them on right here, then?”
“No need!”
To be honest, among all the magical girls, Li Yun’s reactions were the closest to what a real magical girl should be—two words: pure affection.
The other magical girls?
Honestly, their reactions were not magical girl-like at all.
Luo You sat with her on a bench near the lake and brought her a can of soda.
“Big Sis, what’s up? You seem really anxious.”
Li Yun remained silent for a while.
Luo You thought maybe her big white legs had distracted her, so she tried asking again.
“Big Sis, you…”
“Youyou, I’m facing the biggest crisis of my life so far. Please help me!”
Li Yun suddenly bowed deeply.
So humbly, she lowered her head to Luo You.
“Uh, Big Sis, you don’t have to go this far, right?”
“Yes, I do! Because what I want your help with this time might require you to make a huge sacrifice! Even if you say no, it’s fine.”
“…I see.”
Luo You pursed her lips and then said, “That won’t do. As the Sixth Seat of the Magic Alliance, you can’t just bow your head so easily.”
“Eh!?”
Li Yun snapped her head up from her deep bow.
“You’re the one who saved me from the fire this noon, and even accepted a pair of stockings from me, right?”
“Eh eh eh eh eh—!”
“N-no, no, no, no! Youyou, what are you talking about? Haha! There’s no way I’m the Sixth Seat or anything like that…”
“Even if you transformed into a magical girl, I’d still recognize you. Your reaction when I teased you was exactly the same.”
Luo You stood up.
Her pale white legs shone brightly as she brought them together and slowly squatted down.
Right next to Li Yun’s ear, she whispered, “You brought my stockings with you, didn’t you?”
Then she pulled out the black silk stockings from Li Yun’s pocket and dangled them in front of her.
“See? Just as I thought.”
“Aaaaaahhhhhhh!”
Li Yun was powerless with rage.
It was over—not only was her dignity as a Big Sister gone, but now her dignity as a magical girl was gone too.
“Ah, Big Sis, don’t be like that. Calm down, calm down! I didn’t mean to tease you!”
“Waaah, my life is ruined… Youyou, please don’t tell anyone. I’ll do anything… sniffle sniffle…”
“I’m not planning to tell anyone,” Luo You helped her up.
“It’s fine, Big Sis. Even knowing you’re the coveted Tenth Seat, you’re still the same Big Sis in my eyes—”
“Youyou…”
“—who’s just as unreliable as always,” Luo You added.
“Aaaaaaaaahhh! (crying loudly)”
It took Luo You half an hour to finally soothe her.
Oh dear, with such a fragile heart, when it comes to filming the movie, she’s definitely going to get completely wrecked, huh?
Luo You sighed helplessly.
This time, by stripping away Li Yun’s last layer of shame and helping her pick it up again, hopefully it would make her heart a bit stronger.
“Youyou, will you really not be disappointed in me? The Tenth Seat being someone like me…”
“Big Sis, how many times do I have to say it? I met you first—not Li Yun the magical girl—so it doesn’t make a difference to me.”
“Hmm… thank you, Youyou.”
Li Yun was truly grateful to have met this fiery and yet endlessly encouraging girl; without her, she would have continued to spiral downward.
She knew deep down she had met a benefactor in life, and she might have to spend her whole life repaying Luo You’s kindness.
Although Youyou’s personality was so mischievous that she often left her dizzy, in reality, she was a devilish little female angel!
“Youyou, please listen to me.”
“Hmm, Big Sis, anything embarrassing you can just tell me, okay?”
“Not that kind of embarrassment! …Well, maybe it is a bit embarrassing…”
“Is it about Erella?”
“Yeah, I might as well just be honest with you. That woman Erella is actually…”
Li Yun told Luo You everything: how Erella was a despicable woman, hunting down magical girls and stealing their chastity.
She painted her as a villain straight out of a fairy tale.
Luo You accepted all this on the surface but was increasingly furious inside.
Just a woman I once tamed to willingly fall?
She dares to use such degrading words about me?!
Does she want to get pregnant!?
I don’t have that ability, but I have ways to make her belly swell like she’s pregnant!
That’s exactly it—the more stubborn you are, Big Sis, the more excited I get to break you!
“Actually, I’ve heard about this Erella woman too,” Luo You said slowly.
“Eh? You’ve heard of her too?”
“There are rumors online, but nothing official, so it’s always been pretty mysterious.”
Luo You took out her phone, logged into ‘Paradise,’ searched the keyword ‘Erella,’ and showed Li Yun the search results.
“Look, Erella is now the protagonist of many doujinshi comics.
Any magical girl-themed comic will have Erella’s name.
Netizens even rank her alongside ‘anti-magical girl special attack’ tentacle monsters.”
“W-what!? People actually make comics like this? How shameless!”
Li Yun scrolled through over thirty of them. The content shattered her worldview.
There were magical girls degraded by Erella’s personality; some turned into witches; some even developed pure love stories with Erella!
The most absurd was that there were several sequels!
Li Yun never realized Erella had such a loud reputation among the public.
The magical girls who saved lives were utterly overshadowed by Erella’s image!
Such a filthy cultural invasion!
If this keeps up, all the positive propaganda magical girls have done in the community will be for nothing!
“No, we have to come up with a countermeasure!”
Li Yun planned to immediately report this to the Tenth Seat council—it was a serious matter.
“Big Sis, how do you plan to fight back? By making comics too?”
“Making comics—”
“Oh right, comics. No matter how much positive promotion magical girls do, in the eyes of ISPs, Erella is the villain who dominates magical girls. To change this perception, we have to use the enemy’s own techniques.”
“Enemy’s techniques…”
Seeing Li Yun start to go down a rabbit hole, Luo You quickly seized the moment.
“Right. You guys should also make comics. The story should be about capturing Erella, torturing her to death, and completely overturning her image among the public!”
Li Yun was tempted for a moment but quickly protested, “Magical girls are not such unclean beings! Even if the comics catch Erella, they would only put her on trial, not torture her to death!”
“Big Sis, do you have the qualifications to say that after wanting to tie Erella up, make her lick your toes, and call you ‘Master’?”
“That was just— I mean, I only use that as a goal to motivate myself. Whether I actually do it is another matter!”
Li Yun’s face flushed red, but she said it so righteously.
Hmph, ‘another matter’?
So that means you really do have that thought?
Luo You saw right through her and said, “If the comic really went in that direction, the audience expecting a special storyline wouldn’t buy it.”
“Who says comic promotion only has to go down the lewd path? As long as the plot is attractive, it will draw more viewers!”
Ah, she unexpectedly broke the logical loop. Luo You was surprised.
But still, too naive!
Luo You shook her head. Not taking the comic route makes it hard to create works that can reverse the image.
The plot has to have depth, and a misstep could backfire.
You know, many readers actually end up rooting for the villain.
Luo You didn’t mention this to Li Yun.
After all, getting Li Yun to draw comics was just a whim.
If she didn’t take the bait, then so be it.
Drawing comics could be useful for future plans.
“Enough about comics. Big Sis, what exactly do you want from me?”
“Ah! I almost forgot!”
It was already eleven o’clock.
Li Yun didn’t want to bother her anymore, so she told Luo You about the filming.
After listening, Luo You tilted her head, “So what exactly do you want me to do?”
“Well, I think Erella’s script will be extremely insulting, so I want you to practice with me.”
“How do we practice?”
“It’s like this.”
Li Yun calmed down.
She had already thought of a plan—
“Youyou, your tone and mannerisms are very similar to Erella’s, so I think your thought process must be close to hers as well. If Erella can come up with a script, you should be able to come up with a similar one…”
Before she finished, Luo You asked, “Big Sis, you want me to write a lewd script that’s off the charts?”
“Yes! Exactly! The content doesn’t matter. Whatever you come up with, I’ll act according to the script in advance to get used to it, so that when we shoot the actual movie, I won’t have to suffer so much humiliation.”
Luo You was stunned.
Such a great opportunity just fell into her lap.
She could perfect the script and help Li Yun practice acting.
Where else could she find such a perfect deal?
Why bother being a magical girl?
She might as well rename herself the White Give Girl.
“Well, can you agree to this?”
Li Yun looked at Luo You nervously.
She knew Erella wasn’t just after her body.
Since they were filming a movie, retakes of the same scene were frequent, right?
Imagine during a steamy scene, even though you tried your best to act, hoping to finish quickly, you have to do it over and over because of your acting, forced to repeat intimate moments with Erella…
Too painful!
Erella probably wanted to see exactly that expression.
Snap!
[If I endure all the shame I should suffer during filming with my soul friend Youyou here, no matter how humiliating Erella’s script is, and how many times I have to retake, what can you do to me?]
Li Yun was proud of this thought.
When Erella found she couldn’t get the development she wanted, she’d lose interest and end the filming quickly, sparing Li Yun some torment.
[Not bad at all…]
Luo You understood Li Yun’s intention.
She was mentally entrusting Luo You first, then preparing to be destroyed by Erella.
It was… such a familiar feeling.
Like graduating from university, dating a girlfriend whose family is in trouble, and the bad guy Huang Mao offers to help her father’s company in exchange for her body.
So on the verge of parting, she gives her virginity to her boyfriend before marrying the thug.
You see my body, but you’ll never see the expression on my face at that first time!
How cool!
The vibe is strong.
Although I’m just bragging to myself.
Luo You was numb and didn’t know what to say.
Well, she might as well agree first.
“Okay, I’ll help you, but that means we’ll have to meet frequently during this period, okay?”
“Yeah! Please push me! Director!”
“Oh.”
Oh no, she accidentally became a director.
Thinking about having to accompany Li Yun to practice these days, what about Auntie?
The empty-nest auntie needs me to comfort her!
Right!
Maybe Auntie can join us too?
It might be complicated to arrange, but it’s possible!
Luo You’s mind began to race.
[The easiest way to get Auntie involved is to let Li Yun know that Feiyu is actually Ji Yue, and then everything becomes much easier.]
A clever plan began to take shape in Luo You’s heart.
“It’s almost midnight. Director, you should go back now. I won’t bother you anymore.”
Li Yun happily got up to leave.
“Wait—”
Luo You called after her.
“Director, anything else to add?”
“First, help me post a tweet?”
Luo You motioned for her to come closer.
“See these pale white legs? Put your hand on them, feel the flesh? Grab tightly!”
A few minutes later, a new tweet was posted.
‘Got dragged out by Big Sis in the middle of the night, stockings all ripped off! Look at these handprints!’
With a close-up of the thigh and a photo below Li Yun’s face.
After the tweet, the two parted ways to sleep.
And the one who saw the tweet was destined to be sleepless all night.
