“As expected, it’s more appropriate for big sister to handle this kind of situation.”
Ye Xingyao sighed.
“Yeah, but this wasn’t my job to begin with. Has Xiao Yao become big sister now?”
Seeing Yi Shiyue’s half-smiling expression, she shrank her neck and avoided the other girl’s direct gaze.
“Even if my identity is big sister, my thought patterns are still stuck in the older brother phase… It’s not that easy to switch. Not just you and me—if Xingling finds out, she’ll need some time to accept it too.”
Ye Xingyao muttered quietly, making excuses for her awkwardness.
Honestly, if she really became “big sister” in front of her little sister, she wouldn’t even need her sister to say anything—she’d start losing it herself.
Undoubtedly, compared to an older brother, an older sister’s concern for her little sister would be more down-to-earth. She was already failing at being a good lover, let alone giving up the brother identity she had held for so long and trying to be a “good big sister.”
She hadn’t even celebrated her twentieth birthday yet!
Of course, she couldn’t mention these thoughts to the two girls beside her. It wasn’t because she was a tsundere! It was just a bit embarrassing to admit. Admitting one’s mistakes and working hard to correct them—for the former boy—was something better kept in her heart and reflected in her actions.
“No matter how unfamiliar it is, you’ll gradually get used to it. Look, Xiao Yao, you can already comb your own hair now. That’s a huge improvement!”
Yi Shiyue optimistically patted her on the shoulder. No matter where they were, she would always be the one who supported Ye Xingyao the most.
When she was lost, or had strayed onto the wrong path, Yi Shiyue could try to help her out of her predicament.
“Ha, easy for you to say. Do you know how long I’ve been fighting with my hair?!”
Ye Xingyao slapped her thigh. Just thinking about it made her angry. She had never seen such disobedient hair! If it weren’t for how good long hair looked, and how this identity suited replacing the former “Cross-dressing Hunter Ye Xin” to become a true “Girl Hunter Ye Xin” when dealing with people she had previously interacted with, she might have just cut it short.
At least it wouldn’t be such a hassle to wash.
“Pfft…”
“You’re laughing!”
“Hmph~ Xiao Yao still has a long way to go before becoming a real girl.”
“What’s with that meaningful expression?! And I’m not trying to become a real girl! I was forced into this, forced, do you understand?!”
“Oh~? Then why did Miss Ye Xin need to cross-dress in the past?”
Facing Ye Xingyao, who was about to bristle, the girl covered her mouth and snickered, not bothering to hide the teasing in her tone, which made the former inexplicably angry.
But even though she was annoyed, she found it hard to defend herself on this point.
If she said it was just for fun, she wouldn’t have kept it up for so many years, often caring about her cross-dressing status even in battle.
If she said she had some special fetish, she didn’t think so. At least in her memory, she hadn’t done anything weird with those women’s clothes or developed any strange feelings toward her cross-dressed self.
At most, she just thought the identity of “Ye Xin” was novel and interesting—a way to express traits she normally wouldn’t dare show in a very entertaining manner. Combined with Magic Stones and magic…
She felt mysterious and clever, like a perfect protagonist template, didn’t she?
At least that was what she thought.
Now that she had found her parents, who would probably have a mental breakdown if they realized they had “given birth to a daughter after having a son,” well…
But the transformation from male to female, along with the Star Elf identity and the exciting Star Radiance Ability, didn’t seem so unacceptable anymore.
It was just that online people always said girls experience more pleasure than boys in certain activities. She hadn’t tried that yet, so she put it aside for now and wouldn’t jump to conclusions.
After all, she spent every day with Yi Shiyue—either at school or working as a hunter. There wasn’t really an opportunity to try it secretly.
“Why did Xiao Yao suddenly go quiet?”
Yi Shiyue’s voice brought her back to reality. Seeing the girl tilting her head with a sweet smile, that nameless irritation surged in Ye Xingyao’s heart again.
Ye Xingyao casually tossed aside her phone, which had just received a “@everyone…” message from their homeroom teacher, and fiercely launched herself like a hungry tiger with extra breath power, tackling the unprepared girl onto the bed.
Just because she lacked the tools didn’t mean she couldn’t commit the crime! How could that be possible?!
Even if she died, she would thoroughly enjoy her girlfriend’s embrace!
Mmm~ Xiaoyue’s chest is so soft. Burying her face in it perfectly cradles her cheeks, and her chin fits perfectly into that valley, like a perfect pillow. Ye Xingyao rubbed against it and let out a satisfied sound.
“Hahaha~ That tickles! Stop rubbing, Xiao Yao!”
After a bit more play, Ye Xingyao climbed off the bed with satisfaction, smiling down at her tired childhood friend, her face glowing as if she had completed some major mission.
See? Being a girl didn’t stop her from committing crimes!
Then, Ye Xingyao glanced down at her own rather disappointing front armor and sighed inwardly, but quickly cheered up again.
This form was much more convenient! Little steamed buns—both tempting and cute curves—looked way better than pure flat boards!
“Hmph, Xiao Yao always bullies me.”
Yi Shiyue turned her head away, acting sulky.
“How can you say that! Xiaoyue, you’re Entering Dream Grade. How could a little Light-Containing Level girl like me ever bully the mighty Miss Shiyue?”
“…”
“…”
Yeah, why indeed?
They both smiled knowingly.
It was mutual consent.
“Alright, we still need to make a brief appearance at school later. Hurry up and fix your hair and stuff.”
“I don’t need to fix anything. I have to wear men’s clothes at school and keep my Disguise Magic on. Who’s going to check if I’ve dressed up nicely today?”
“That won’t do. Xiao Yao must become a first-rate lady!”
“Huh? When did I say I was going to become a first-rate lady?! Don’t just add random goals that don’t exist!”
But Light-Containing Level Xiao Yao still couldn’t resist the Entering Dream Grade Moon Elf Miss, and eventually gave in.
After tidying up their clothes, the two went to the Satellite University for a Comprehensive Check. They showed their Identity Codes, and the person in charge gladly let them through.
Actually, this behavior did cause some commotion among the students, but since the university seemed to have hidden talents, having an Identity Code wasn’t that rare. In the end, no one paid them much attention.
