Chapter 9: A Skirt Surprise and a Tail’s Tale

“Ugh… sob.”

Luo Su weakly crawled out of her blankets, faint red marks lingering on her snowy arms. She hugged herself, teary-eyed, her messy hair sticking to her flushed cheeks.

“Pervert! Beast!”

Her sobbing accusation lacked any menace, even carrying a hint of reluctant allure. “Not even sparing a loli…”

Halfway through her rant, she froze.

Wait, that girl’s technique… how was it so practiced?!

Luo Su spotted a blind spot.

“Phew…”

She braced against the mattress to get up, but a sudden twinge in her waist made her gasp and collapse back into the blankets.

“…Who’s the real succubus here.”

She buried her burning face in the pillow, her voice muffled. This was, without a doubt, the biggest failure of her succubus career! No, she wasn’t seducing Jiang Ning!

It was clearly her being naughty!

That lustful jerk, and she couldn’t even go to the police. Sob… dream coercion didn’t count as coercion, right?!

She lay there for a while.

Then it hit her—she was late for school! She hurriedly lifted her head to check the clock… oh no, already late…

Silence lingered for a long moment.

Luo Su made a call. No need to fake it; her original male voice worked fine. “Teacher Xu… I-I’m not feeling well.”

Teacher Xu paused, recognizing Luo Su. “Rest well, then.”

“Okay!”

Luo Su exhaled, snuggling back into her blankets, hugging her little tail with a smug grin. “Hmph, today… I’m sleeping till I wake up naturally!”

As for her first time?

Luo Su didn’t care. She was a tough guy, a super tough guy, totally unbothered… Sob, okay, she cared a lot. To be… taken by a girl…

Ugh, the biggest failure of her tough guy career!

“Drip drip, tick tock!”

“Phew…” Luo Su groggily reached out, grabbing at nothing. Struggling to open her eyes, she jolted awake. “Wah! No way, I slept till eleven?!”

The whole morning… gone.

Autumn morning light filtered through the curtains. Luo Su listlessly crawled out of bed, shivering as the cool air hit her, her legs still embarrassingly weak.

“First… a shower…”

Rubbing her sore waist, she suddenly froze—wait! What was with this fancy little dress on her?!

“That female thug…!”

Luo Su’s face flushed red, but she couldn’t help sneaking a glance at the mirror… then another. She was just critiquing Jiang Ning’s terrible taste!

No other intentions!

“Grr…”

Luo Su was stunned by her reflection. The girl in the mirror had a soft glow in the afternoon sun, her long lashes casting butterfly-wing shadows on her cheeks.

The light blue dress rippled with her turn, making her skin look as translucent as fresh snow.

“…”

She reached out to touch the mirror, smugly flicking her little tail, hands on hips, chin raised at her reflection. “As expected of me, I’m freakin’ adorable!”

“Meow~” Hulu yawned.

“…”

Luo Su’s face reddened, clutching her tummy as she shuffled aside. “Ugh, Luo Su, you’ve fallen! No more of this. They may have wrecked your body, but they can’t crush your tough guy spirit!”

Right, Luo Su was fired up.

She marched to the big water bottle, throwing a few punches at the air. “Get up!”

“Wah!”

Her big, pretty eyes instantly teared up as she clutched her little tail, pitifully blowing on it. She… she’d accidentally stepped on it.

“Jiang Ning… I-I’ll never forgive you.”

Luo Su whimpered with a hint of grievance. That jerk had tied a safety charm to her tail, and… in such a sensitive spot, she hadn’t even noticed until now…

You could imagine

What it went through yesterday!

Luo Su blew on it pitifully for a while, but the tail’s tip still felt numb. Hanging her head, she noticed… Hulu licking its fur…

She hesitated,

Then stuck out her pink tongue, lightly licking the heart shape on her tail. “W-wah!”

A shock-like tingle shot up her spine, her tail twitching. This… this wasn’t right! It was numb just a moment ago!

“Haa… haa…”

Luo Su knelt on the floor, panting, knees weak. “Why does the little heart… feel even pinker now.”

She carefully lifted her tail,

Holding it to the sunlight. The heart looked like an hourglass you could fill, now about one-thirty-sixth brighter.

“So…”

“What happens if it’s fully lit?”

Luo Su blinked in confusion. “Ugh, I really wanna know… but to light it up…” Her face flushed as she mumbled glumly, “I don’t have to find that thug again, do I?!”

Sob…

Just thinking about it made her shiver, like some impure thing was watching her.

She huffed, yanking the safety charm off her tail—

“Eh?!”

“Why’s the rune on this so crooked… doesn’t even look like it came from a proper temple!”

Could that thug also do rituals?!

“Heh…”

Luo Su couldn’t help but giggle, her dress swaying. “No way. If she could do that… the world would’ve fallen apart already!”

She flipped through the blankets on her bed,

And, as expected, her school uniform from last night was gone. “Phew, so in the dream, Jiang Ning changed my clothes while I was out…”

And conveniently confiscated her uniform?!

What a weirdo!

“Hmph…” Luo Su sneered. Did she think she could prove Luo Su was a succubus in class with that? Ridiculous… she had three school uniforms!

As long as she kept up the disguise… Jiang Ning wouldn’t figure anything out. Luo Su exhaled in relief.

But soon, she realized a bigger problem.

“Ugh… what do I do!”

She shook the dress lightly, her soft voice tinged with inexplicable excitement. “I-I’m already wearing it… so…”

Her cheeks kept heating up,

Her fingers unconsciously rubbing the white stockings on her legs. Her already slender legs looked even more elegant with the knee-high socks.

Especially,

The slight indent where the socks hugged her skin—it was oddly captivating. She shook her head firmly, saying seriously, “I-I’m only wearing this because I have no other clothes. I’ll change back tomorrow!”

(Absolutely not because I awakened some weird fetish!)

Decision made,

Luo Su paced her tiny room. She’d always been curious about how it felt to wear a skirt. She… she was just curious.

Not a pervert!

Blinking innocently, she tugged the dress up a bit. It felt strange—wearing a skirt made her feel so breezy down there, like she was wearing nothing.

“…”

“Jiang Ning! This grudge is on!”

A certain “clueless” little loli, face flushed, buried herself in her blankets in despair.
