Volume 2 Chapter 150 / Chapter 431: Do You Want to Become a Magical Girl?!
When Xi Xi was dragged into the room by Ning Chu without any chance to resist, her heart was filled with despair and regret.
She'd been careless!
So careless!
To think she'd hidden herself this deeply!
In her mind, she could already picture it—the succubus revealing her true form, transforming into a massive tentacled monstrosity. Thick tentacles would coil around her limbs, teasing her body, trying to inject her with its fluids.
Even though she had long known the risks, now that she was about to face them head-on, fear still overwhelmed her.
"You're dressed way too provocatively—what if my boyfriend sees you?!"
Xi Xi's despair froze in place.
She stared blankly at the flustered Ning Chu, then lowered her gaze to the tight black combat suit covering her own body.
A wave of embarrassment surged up. A vivid blush spread across her cheeks as she instinctively clutched her chest, replying weakly,
"O-okay…"
A faint glow bloomed from her magic staff. Like flowing water, the light washed over her body. Wherever it passed, the combat suit dissolved into sparkling motes, dispersing into the air and revealing her smooth, pale skin beneath.
Ning Chu stared at the completely naked girl, utterly dumbfounded.
Weren't magical girl transformations supposed to be covered by holy light?
Ah. Right. This was a hentai magical girl.
It made perfect sense.
Xi Xi's face grew even hotter. As the light continued to circulate, an autumn-and-winter JK-style outfit materialized out of thin air and wrapped itself around her body.
"I-it's done…"
The magical girl turned her head away awkwardly, too embarrassed to meet Ning Chu's stunned gaze.
"Alright. I'll let Wen Yang come in now."
As Ning Chu walked toward the door, her eyes still lingered on Xi Xi. She couldn't help asking,
"So… what exactly is going on?"
This wasn't a novel—reality was different. Even though she'd set some things up as the author, she still needed an explanation from Xi Xi herself.
"Let Xiao Hei explain," Xi Xi said.
"That cat?"
"Yeah. I'm Xi Xi. College student. Part-time magical girl."
Opening the door, Ning Chu added over her shoulder,
"You two already seem to know me and Wen Yang pretty well, so I won't bother introducing myself."
"Mm."
Wen Yang, still unclear about what was happening, stood outside the door and looked into the room.
"What's going on?"
"Just a misunderstanding."
He paused for a moment, then didn't press further. He handed Ning Chu the milk tea and the jianbing.
"Late-night snacks."
With a major worry finally off her chest, Ning Chu's smile was sweeter than usual. She happily accepted the food and gestured to Xi Xi and the black cat.
"Make yourselves comfortable. Sit wherever."
"Okay."
Xi Xi sat down at the edge of the bed. Her nose twitched as she caught the heavy scent of lust in the air.
Lowering her head, she glanced at the bedsheet beneath her. The scattered white and dark stains made her expression turn subtle. Feeling extremely awkward, she fidgeted with the hem of her skirt, unsure how to sit properly.
Seeing where Xi Xi had chosen to sit, Ning Chu's face instantly flushed bright red.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but when Xi Xi stayed silent, she decided to tacitly pretend nothing had happened.
"Xiao Hei, explain the situation."
"Leave it to me!"
"What the—?!"
When Wen Yang saw the black cat start talking, he nearly grabbed a broom to beat the 'monster' away.
Ning Chu quickly grabbed his wrist.
"Think about Black Bean. This is perfectly reasonable."
"…Yeah. That is pretty reasonable."
The couple sat together on the sofa. The black cat leapt onto the coffee table and crouched there, licking its front paw as it began explaining.
"Normally, I'd erase your memories. But given the circumstances, it doesn't seem necessary."
"There's a kind of being from another world that occasionally descends upon our world. It possesses human bodies and disrupts social stability. We call them evil beings."
Right.
In other words—tentacle monsters.
Ning Chu mulled things over while eating her jianbing and sipping her milk tea.
"For every evil being that descends," the black cat continued, "I form a contract with a girl and grant her magic. Once the evil being is eliminated, her mission ends, and she loses her magic, returning to a normal life."
"Because a magical girl's power comes directly from the corresponding evil being."
Xi Xi nodded. "Yeah. Last year it suddenly approached me and asked me to become a magical girl, so I agreed…"
"Later, I met a senior and only then learned that all evil beings are actually tentacle monsters. If you lose in battle…" She hesitated, then continued, "…once or twice is fine if you can endure it. But if you can't and end up falling…" She shot an annoyed glare at the black cat. "If I'd known that earlier, I never would've agreed!"
Although Xi Xi shyly glossed over the details, vivid images of "Xi Xi × Tentacle" had already formed in Ning Chu's mind.
With just a few sentences, she more or less figured out the setting behind magical girls and evil beings.
Honestly speaking, Lily would be perfect as a magical girl…
A succubus with such hardcore tastes—she might even be happy losing the battle.
"I get it now," Ning Chu said, pretending to be clueless. "So you thought I was the evil being?"
"Broadly speaking," the black cat replied calmly, "you are an evil being. Xi Xi's magic comes from you."
That was technically true. Evil beings were tentacle monsters from another world, and she herself was a human from another world.
Still, she couldn't help asking, "So what happens now? Didn't you say that only after the corresponding evil being is eliminated does a magical girl's mission end?"
Xi Xi curled up her left leg, hugging her knee. "Well… my magic doesn't work on you. So instead of eliminating you, we switched to monitoring."
"..."
"I've already completed my transfer paperwork," Xi Xi added cheerfully. "Starting next week, we'll be classmates~"
Ning Chu rubbed the bridge of her nose with a headache, suddenly realizing that Wen Yang still didn't know she was a transmigrator.
She subconsciously glanced at him—only to find that he had somehow leaned back against the sofa and fallen asleep, rubbing his eyes as he groggily opened them.
Good. That was fine.
Wen Yang was just an ordinary human. The black cat clearly had no intention of letting him know the truth.
The moment he fully woke up, Wen Yang immediately sat upright, muscles tensing as he nervously looked at Ning Chu beside him.
"It's okay," she said softly.
"Good…" Wen Yang relaxed slightly, wrapping an arm around her waist protectively while keeping a wary eye on the black cat that had put him to sleep.
"Don't worry. Really, it's fine."
Being this intimate in front of others made Ning Chu feel a little embarrassed.
She lifted her head—only to see Xi Xi and the black cat suddenly go expressionless. The atmosphere in the room turned solemn and tense.
She closed her mouth, not daring to speak, as the rain outside grew heavier and denser. The awning outside the window rattled loudly as the steady spring rain began to turn into a downpour.
"Another evil being has appeared."
The black cat abruptly leapt up from the coffee table and jumped onto Xi Xi's shoulder. Xi Xi hurried to the bed, pulled open the curtains, and stared into the rain-soaked night.
Ning Chu rushed over as well. "You've got to be kidding?!"
Holy crap! Did a real tentacle monster just show up?!
Following Xi Xi's gaze, she saw a faint streak of light—like a meteor—sliding down from the edge of the sky, concealed by the heavy rain.
"That direction…" Ning Chu murmured.
"It's the school," Xi Xi answered.
So this was the tentacle monster from the original plot!
The black cat clung to Xi Xi's shoulder and turned its head toward Ning Chu.
"There's another magical girl slot available. You—"
"I don't want it!"
"You can have one wish fulfilled—"
"Absolutely not!"
Ning Chu cut it off again, shaking her head so hard it nearly left afterimages.
Sure, a magical girl's physical abilities were even stronger than a succubus's. Maybe she could even overpower a hentai protagonist.
But she had zero intention of fighting a tentacle monster.
Winning would be fine—but losing?
That outcome was way too terrifying.
