Chapter 3 : Got caught!

Vivian: “Speaking of which, you’re ridiculously cute after turning into a girl. I bet one punch would make you cry for hours, right? 😋”

Qianya (shaking): “Kyaa QAQ”

Luko: “Um… Master? Is that still okay to call you? Or should it be Yaxi?”

Iris: “Yaxi sounds awful. Just call her Qianya.”

Vivian: “Not a bad name at all～”

Qianya huddled in the thick blanket in the corner of the bed, listening to the four girls casually discussing her. Her snow-white shoulders peeked out, even her toes curled from nerves.

Because of the slave marks on her body, no matter what the four of them decided to do to her, Qianya could only endure it, woo woo…

Being completely naked under the blanket made her feel even less safe.

“By the way—” Vivian suddenly spoke up, her red eyes sweeping over the shrinking Qianya with a meaningful smile.

“We can’t let our little Yaya stay wrapped in a blanket forever, can we?”

The hidden meaning was obvious: Qianya needed new clothes.

All her old male clothes no longer fit (sad).

“Hmph, what a pain.”

Iris huffed, arms crossed as she walked to the door. She glanced back at Qianya’s blanket-wrapped figure, clearly measuring her size with her eyes Sweep.

Zero said nothing, only nodded and followed Iris out.

Vivian went with them.

Luko scooted to the bedside instead, cautiously reaching out to stroke Qianya’s hair. Her cheeks flushed bright red beneath her pink hair.

“Um… Xiao-Ya?”

“…” Qianya was still trembling, too scared to speak.

“We’ll be right back. Be a good girl and stay in the room, okay? Don’t run around!”

“Nn…”

Qianya’s heart sank, but on the surface she could only nod obediently.

Then Luko left too.

The moment the four girls’ footsteps completely vanished down the stairs and the bedroom door softly clicked shut,

“No way in hell (ﾉ｀⊿´)ﾉ”

Qianya instantly threw off the blanket, bare feet hitting the floor as she dashed to the door and pressed her ear against it.

After confirming they were downstairs, she let out a breath of relief, turned, and hurriedly wrapped herself in the thin bedsheet.

Qianya: There’s no way I’m waiting for them to come back!

They no longer had slave marks binding them. If they really got any bold ideas about her, Qianya wouldn’t be able to resist at all…

When that happened, Qianya would definitely be—

Qianya: Kyuu (つ﹏⊂)

The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.

No way. She had to escape now!

Their slave marks hadn’t been linked to the 【punishment module】 yet. If she ran now, there was still time!

Qianya quickly secured the sheet around herself, tiptoed to the window.

The second floor wasn’t that high. Below was the café’s backyard lawn, piled with some random junk.

She hesitated for just a second, then gritted her teeth.

Compared to becoming their plaything, a little pain from the fall was nothing!

The next second, Qianya pushed the window open, took a deep breath, gripped the sill, and lightly jumped.

Plop. She landed on the soft grass.

“Ow… that hurts X﹏X”

Qianya rubbed her aching butt. Luckily the lawn was thick; it only stung a bit, no real injury.

She didn’t dare linger. Scrambling up, she brushed off the grass, tightened the sheet, and bolted for the backyard gate.

♡♡♡

Nighttime in the royal capital.

The streets were quiet, only a few shops still lit.

Qianya ran barefoot on the cool cobblestones, constantly glancing back in alarm.

She didn’t stop for a second, because she was going to find Flo!

Right now only that Tentacle God could save her! Even if Qian, she still hated her (annoyed).

But since Flo could turn her into a girl and remove the slave marks from Iris and the others,

Then if she found Flo, maybe she could make her remove the four marks on her body and turn her back!

Qianya ran all the way to the street where she’d met Flo that afternoon.

It was bustling during the day, but completely empty at night, only the dim yellow street lamps lighting the way.

She stopped, leaning against the wall to catch her breath. The sheet slipped a little, revealing delicate skin on her shoulder.

“Wuu— so cold X﹏X”

A night breeze blew past; Qianya couldn’t help shivering.

“This should be the place… ahem.” She cleared her throat.

“Lady Flo! Are you there? Lady Flo!”

Qianya called out a few times toward the empty street, voice soft and sweet.

But there was no answer.

“Eh?”

She took a deep breath and shouted several more times.

Still nothing…

Had Flo already left?

“What the hell, you stupid tentacle god.”

Qianya pouted and muttered a curse.

Then…

“Who dares insult this god (◦`~´◦)”

Everything around her froze.

A familiar pink tentacle extended from thin air and gently wrapped around Qianya’s wrist.

“Kyaa—?”

Qianya’s heart jumped. She looked up to see that familiar girl floating right in front of her.

Qianya: Do you only show up when someone bad-mouths you?! (╬◣д◢)

“Hehe~ It’s you?”

Seeing Qianya’s appearance, Flo’s lips curved up.

She slowly drifted closer and caught Qianya.

“Uwaa— no X﹏X”

The tentacle’s grip was light, yet Qianya couldn’t move an inch.

“Enough already! Turn me back right now!”

Qianya finally snapped.

“Why would I turn you back? You’re way cuter like this (ˊ˘ˋ)”

Flo smiled, leaning in to ruffle Qianya’s hair.

“It’s not cute at all (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )!”

Qianya instantly retorted, eyes turning red.

“You tricked me!”

Flo: “? When did I trick you?”

Qianya: “You promised they wouldn’t leave me, but you still removed their slave marks! You went back on your word!”

Flo tilted her head, looking completely innocent. “I didn’t break my promise. You said ‘don’t let them leave me.’ Right now they really haven’t left you. Keeping you by their side as their little slave counts as not leaving, doesn’t it?”

Qianya: (°ー°〃)?

Qianya froze, mouth open, suddenly unable to find a comeback.

It… kind of made sense?

“No, no! That’s not the point!” Qianya snapped out of it. “I don’t want to be a girl! Change me back right now (⋟﹏⋞)”

“Ugh, so noisy. Talking to a god this rudely… Looks like this god needs to punish you properly.”

Flo put her hands on her hips, clearly annoyed.

“Eh… punish?”

Qianya blinked.

“Now that I think about it, I didn’t expect you to turn out this adorable. It’s been ages since this god last enjoyed such a top-tier delicacy o(｀ω´)o”

“W-What are you going to do… ah!”

Flo closed in.

“Fufufu, guess～”

Qianya: “Uwiii— noooo ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅”
