Chapter 4: Can do everything.

That night, Su Tang experienced many firsts.

First time turning into a girl.

This one probably wouldn’t happen a second time.

First time peeing while squatting.

Very unaccustomed, she’d have to work hard to adapt.

First time meeting her newly arrived little sister.

The little sister was very open, but she didn’t dare to look at her.

What happened in the bathroom, Su Tang could no longer remember clearly; she only knew she seemed to have been attacked by a tentacle monster.

As for that “tentacle monster”—Tao Lian was now facing away from Su Tang.

Though that smooth, fair back, beautiful spine line, and peach-shaped beautiful butt were particularly eye-catching, Su Tang’s gaze was fixed on Tao Lian’s pair of slender hands.

Looking back on her eighteen years of life, because she never went to public baths, she didn’t understand why those uncles fought to get massages from the bathhouse masters, and because she wasn’t a 2D beauty, she didn’t understand why tentacle monsters could effortlessly breach the defenses of all female warriors indiscriminately.

After bathing with Tao Lian once, Su Tang understood everything.

Her ten fingers were terrifyingly nimble, I mean it.

“Pop~”

Tao Lian lifted her foot and bent over, pulling her panties up bit by bit, finally making a light sound as they clung to her butt.

“Ahh, the size is too small again.”

She hooked out the fabric wedged into her butt crack with her index finger, looking at the bra in her other hand, muttering to herself, “This probably won’t fasten either… Maybe I won’t wear it tonight?”

Compared to her seemingly average figure in her magical girl combat suit, Tao Lian was actually quite stacked in private.

Su Tang had already felt it when she fell earlier and her head collided into her chest.

Tao Lian made up her mind, casually tossing the bra into the laundry basket, then as if prepared in advance, took out a pair of nipple covers, stuck them on, and draped her pajamas over.

“Mm, this way it won’t chafe~”

Huh?

Su Tang watched with her mouth agape.

Though her little sister often complained to her that being a girl was such a hassle and how she envied boys for being so convenient, Su Tang couldn’t empathize at all back then.

Now, it was different for her.

“Come~ Little Su Tang, put these on first.”

Tao Lian took out a set of underwear and handed it to Su Tang, “These are from when I was in junior high, barely worn, don’t worry, very clean.”

“Oh… Oh.”

Su Tang took the underwear.

Pure cotton, pure white, student style—the most innocent type, perfect for a newbie like Su Tang experiencing girlhood for the first time.

“Hup… Hup…”

Though she’d never worn any before, to avoid arousing Tao Lian’s suspicion, Su Tang put in effort to put on the underwear.

Looking at her seamless appearance in the mirror after putting it on, Su Tang’s lips curved up, and she couldn’t help humming softly.

Hum hum, success on first try—this is what they call a natural talent!

…This should be something to be happy about, right?

“Wow, so cute~ It suits you perfectly?”

Tao Lian came behind Su Tang, placing her hands on her shoulders, smiling.

For some reason, seeing Su Tang in just underwear and panties in the mirror standing in front, with Tao Lian—who was a head taller—behind her touching her shoulders with a mysterious smile, it felt like hallucinating the cover of some certain book.

Thinking of this, Su Tang inexplicably felt a heat in her heart, shyly lowering her head slightly, her fair little feet rubbing restlessly.

The bookish vibe got even stronger.

“Little Su Tang, come sleep in my room tonight. Though our living room is big and the sofa is soft, I really can’t bear to let you sleep there~”

Tao Lian said, then noticing Su Tang’s face turning a bit red, asked, “Little Su Tang, why is your face red? From staying too long in the bath?”

“N-no.” Su Tang replied.

Damn magical girl, this is all your fault!

Bathing together, and now sleeping together.

Are girls always this intimate with each other?

Tao Lian’s room was on the first floor of the dorm, with a pink door hanging a big peach heart ornament.

“Um… I can sleep on the floor mat just fine.”

Seeing Tao Lian lay out the floor mat and lie down, Su Tang—unconsciously sitting duck-style on the bed—said softly.

“How could that work? I said I’d take care of you, so that’s that. It’s late, staying up is the natural enemy of beautiful girls, you know?”

Tao Lian smiled, “Good night, little Su Tang~”

“G-good night.”

The lights went out.

Su Tang slowly lay down; the pillow was very soft, emitting a faint water honey peach fragrance, as if it had magic that greatly eased her tension, letting her fall asleep quickly.

Moments later, moonlight from outside shone in, and through the curtains, one could see a figure slowly rising and standing by the bed.

…

The next day.

“Hmnm…”

Su Tang let out a soft, sweet moan, waking from her dream.

She sat up on the bed and looked toward the floor mat beside her, but Tao Lian’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

Neatly placed by the bed was a piece of clothing, probably left for Su Tang.

“The magical girl… isn’t here.”

Did she go out to fight monsters first thing in the morning?

Su Tang thought as she picked up the clothes by the bed.

It was a women’s T-shirt, oversized, probably what Tao Lian wore now; Su Tang put it on and it even covered her panties, serving dual purposes.

After dressing, Su Tang’s little feet stepped on the floor as she headed out of the room.

As soon as she pushed the door open a crack, she heard intense sounds from the TV outside.

“Hum hum, small fry is small fry, nothing more~”

Su Tang pushed open the door and saw the lime-flavored kid on the sofa, arms spread out, white-stockinged legs crossed, toes bobbing up and down, looking smug.

Taking another glance at the TV screen, her controlled character had been kicked flying, while the opponent only lost a sliver of health, followed by a big “Defeat” filling the screen.

Knocking off one layer of enemy health counts as victory, and then calling others small fry? Ha, you damn lime.

“Oi, you’re awake? I heard about you from Peach already. Kidnapped by monsters, intermittent amnesia, huh? Tough break.”

Ningliu noticed Su Tang coming out of the room and waved the controller at her, “Anyway, wanna do a match?”

Before Su Tang could answer, a hand chop landed on Ningliu’s head, straightening her twin tails.

“Ow!”

“Breakfast is soon. No gaming now!”

Tao Lian, wearing an apron, confiscated Ningliu’s controller, then turned to Su Tang with an instant smiley face, “Good morning, little Su Tang. Did you sleep well last night?”

“Mm, mm…” Su Tang nodded.

Though she really didn’t want to admit it, last night was Su Tang’s most peaceful and comfortable sleep ever.

Damn it, and it was on a magical girl’s bed.

“Mm mm, great!”

Tao Lian said, then pushed Ningliu, “Little Ningliu, go upstairs and wake Xiao Li.”

“What!? It’s my turn today!?” Ningliu’s face suddenly filled with horror upon hearing this.

“?”

Su Tang found it strange.

What’s the deal? Is waking Xia Qingli something terrifying?

That steady magical girl, does she have a huge morning temper?

Su Tang tried to imagine the scene.

Couldn’t picture it…

And while Su Tang was imagining, Ningliu suddenly prostrated at her feet, hugging her little leg:

“Su Tang! Save me! You go wake Xia Qingli instead! I’ll do anything for you!”
