Volume 2 Chapter 149 / Chapter 430: Misunderstanding
That night, after finishing her writing, Ning Chu lay back against her pillow, holding her phone and refreshing the school forum over and over.
If anything happened on campus—whether it was fights, cheating scandals, juggling two relationships at once, or even stolen takeout—you could always find firsthand information on the forum.
She didn't really have any other source of intel.
As for wandering around campus at night looking for signs of a tentacle monster… she wasn't that reckless. What if she got caught? In horror movies, people like that always died first.
After scrolling through the forum for half an hour, there was still no mention of any tentacle monster.
Even if the school was trying to suppress the news to keep things from blowing up, there was no way not even a hint would leak onto the forum, right?
Thinking this way, Ning Chu felt a little more at ease.
In the novel, the tentacle monster had already been running rampant on campus before the magical girl arrived to deal with it—but reality might have diverged somewhere.
The bed shifted slightly. She glanced at the tall figure who had sat down beside her and casually said, "Go buy a new set of sheets and a duvet cover later."
"This one's dirty. It just feels really uncomfortable…"
She was wearing her loungewear, and even though her clothes separated her from the damp stains on the sheets, it still made her uneasy.
"You're the one who dirtied them. What are you complaining about?" Wen Yang said.
Her face warmed slightly as she turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
A hand rested lightly on her waist. Hot, rough fingers slipped beneath her clothes, touching the skin of her lower abdomen.
"Don't."
Ning Chu rarely did this, but she pressed down on Wen Yang's hand as it tried to explore upward.
Ever since their first time, she'd found it harder and harder to refuse Wen Yang's enthusiasm. Even when she did refuse, it was more like half-hearted resistance.
A succubus's body only needed a few suggestive touches to turn soft like melted water, completely ignoring the brain's commands.
But tonight, she really wasn't in the mood.
She couldn't stop worrying that some girl might already have been violated by the tentacle monster—something she herself had written into existence. The guilt weighed heavily on her heart.
The melancholy between the little succubus's brows made Wen Yang both worried and distressed. He obediently withdrew his wandering hand and comforted her gently, "Don't worry too much. There's no news at all, right?"
"I know…"
"Then I'll go downstairs and buy the sheets."
"Go ahead. And get me a jianbing and a milk tea while you're at it."
Wen Yang froze. "Didn't you say you were full tonight? And that you wanted to lose weight?"
"Well… I'm feeling annoyed. I want to eat something…"
Ning Chu put on a displeased expression. Her voice carried a sweet, clingy softness that made his breathing hitch, impossible to resist.
"Alright, alright." He shook his head helplessly, stood up, and walked to the door. Picking up an umbrella, he added, "I won't bring my keys. Open the door for me later."
"Okay~"
Once Wen Yang left, the room was filled only with the sound of Ning Chu's shallow breathing. She lay on her side, gazing out the window. The steady patter of rain soothed her agitation a little—but the thought that her clothes wouldn't dry for days just made her even more irritated.
Even though she was a girl now, she still only had a few sets of clothes to rotate through. If her mother hadn't bought her a lot, she'd probably still only have three outfits like before.
According to the weather forecast, this rain would come and go for about a week…
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Ning Chu rolled over and sat up, jogging briskly to open it while complaining, "Can't you just bring a key next time? Did you forget your umbrella?"
She hurried to the door and pulled it open—only to freeze when she saw the girl standing outside.
The red-haired girl was dressed strikingly scantily. Black stockings wrapped her entire body, outlining her youthful curves; through the thin fabric, you could even make out her belly button.
Her short skirt barely covered the tops of her thighs. White lace garter bands hugged her legs, and a tube top that looked more like lingerie forcibly squeezed out a hint of cleavage from her A-cup chest.
The overall outfit looked even more provocative than actual hentai underwear.
The girl shouted with imposing momentum, "Surrender now!"
"???"
Ning Chu froze for a split second. Before she could even react, the ornate magic staff—taller than her own head—was already aimed straight at her throat, glowing faintly.
Her mind went completely blank. Her body stiffened, unsure how to respond, her face left with nothing but confusion and helplessness.
A magical girl?
And that outfit—was this her transformed combat state?
Do magical girls have missions to hunt succubi now?!
Xi Xi, standing outside the door, was also a little dumbfounded. She stared at the bewildered succubus inside the room and poured more power into her magic staff—but the magic that was usually unfailingly effective simply refused to work on her.
The two of them stared at each other, eyes wide, neither moving. In the damp, chilly air, a thick sense of awkwardness spread.
"Um… do you need something?"
It was Ning Chu who finally broke the silence.
Xi Xi lowered her magic staff. A flush crept visibly up her neck, across her cheeks, and all the way to the tips of her ears.
"Uh, well, this…" Hugging the staff to her chest, she stammered as she lowered her head and lightly kicked the black cat at her feet.
It's all this cat's fault! The magic didn't work at all—she's obviously just a normal person!
"You're actually not an evil being?!"
The cat suddenly blurted out, startling Ning Chu so badly she stumbled back several steps.
What the hell?! The cat can talk?!
…But then again, my cat already turned into a catgirl…
The thought flashed through her mind, and her panic quickly settled.
Compared to a talking cat, her own cat becoming a catgirl was honestly way more absurd.
"That doesn't make sense…" The black cat paced back and forth in the corridor, somehow managing to walk like an old man strolling with his hands behind his back. Its voice was androgynous, muttering nonstop. "That aura of lust is unmistakable. Both of us sensed it…"
Lust…
Ning Chu turned her head away with a subtle expression.
She was a succubus—what was wrong with having a little lewdness on her?
"And her soul really does come from another world. She's the same one that descended half a year ago. What's going on here?"
"You're asking me? I should be asking you! The magic doesn't work at all—how could she possibly be an evil being?!"
"..."
Only then did Ning Chu's brain—stuck in a permanent state of confusion since the beginning—finally process it.
She had been mistaken for an evil entity.
Thinking carefully, the definition of an evil being was: from another world, possessing a human body…
She fit that description perfectly!
No wonder this girl had been following her all day.
So… the tentacle monster was actually me?!
As the cat and the girl argued outside the door, the heavy stone pressing on Ning Chu's chest finally fell away.
There was no tentacle monster on campus at all!
This magical girl had come for her!
After several minutes of arguing, Xi Xi finally looked up and apologized with an awkward, guilty expression.
"Sorry… I scared you. It was all a misunderstanding."
"And what exactly is going on here?"
Wen Yang's voice suddenly came from the corridor.
Ning Chu reacted instantly. She grabbed Xi Xi by the arm and yanked her into the room while calling out, "Wait outside for a moment!"
Xi Xi stumbled as she was dragged inside. "What are you doing?!"
Could she really be an evil being?!
"Go change your clothes!" Ning Chu snapped. "You're dressed way too provocatively—what if my boyfriend sees you?!"
Jealousy flared as Ning Chu glared at Xi Xi's skin-tight combat outfit.
"O-okay…" Xi Xi replied obediently.
