“Is this the… method you mentioned?”
Jiang Yin looked at himself in the mirror, a brief moment of unfamiliarity passing through him, followed by a sense of helplessness.
To be honest, as an otaku, she actually didn’t mind cross-dressing.
A boyish girl or something—what otaku hasn’t seen it?
He had already opened the door to a new world during puberty with , and had tried cross-dressing before. Unlike his seniors who awakened the femininity within and wore only women’s clothes ever since, he simply felt he didn’t look good in them.
But now, the girl in the mirror wearing a JK uniform, light makeup, colored contacts, a touch of glitter, and a shiny little star sticker on her left cheekbone was just too beautiful.
The beautiful Jiang Yin couldn’t even believe this was himself, like streaming with a virtual avatar.
“I thought you’d make me look more… mature.”
“Isn’t this just a different set of Neon school uniforms?”
“It’s very popular now. Many university students wear this to bars, and no one suspects anything.”
“Well, that’s true…”
As a child, he fantasized about being mature, liked black, and used his mother’s makeup to paint fiery red lips on himself, instantly aging more than a decade.
But after growing up, he started liking cute, pink clothes, enjoyed dressing young, and liked wearing school uniforms.
Jiang Yin once had a senior who was like this too. They used to go drinking together, and the senior dressed like a high schooler, making it seem like there was a whole generation’s difference when standing next to Jiang Yin.
“Don’t bars check ID cards?”
“I can make a fake one for you.”
Jiang Yin: “….”
As expected of the legendary Bureau with the most unrestrained working style.
***Are you guys really this skilled at illegal stuff?***
What is this, a fake fake identity card?
But his previous identity information had already been recorded in the Nation’s system, and changing it was nearly impossible. In this situation, ***really was faster.
Anyway, it’s not like anyone would make a fake identity card just to go to a bar.
Besides, Jiang Yin was originally a thirty-year-old adult, and even if he looked younger, there was still a mature aura not found in minors, making the disguise flawless.
“Grievance always gathers in places of desire. Patrolling at night is more difficult than during the day.”
“For example, right now I can sense at least five Grievance Gathering Points. Most of these grievances will dissipate during the day, but there’s still a chance of creating a monster, so…”
Ning Rong handed Jiang Yin a small bracelet.
“Latest product from the Research Division—a Grievance Detector Bracelet. It stores the defensive Magic of one Magical Girl. You can already use a bit of Magic Power now, so try communicating with it using your own magic.”
“…It’s kind of shocking to see such a magical item in real life.”
Jiang Yin held the bracelet and examined it, channeling her faint Magic Power, which formed a weak glow on the bracelet. In the next second, she inexplicably understood the magic sealed inside.
“How was this thing made? It’s amazing.”
“Don’t worry about the principles of Magical Devices.”
“These can only be handcrafted by creation-type Magical Girls, so the quantity is limited and only issued to unawakened Magical Girls for self-defense.”
“Each charge can only release magic once. Don’t waste it, and don’t break it. Our Bureau only has two in total.”
“Understood.”
Jiang Yin put on her mask, opened the door, and got out of the car. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into a line as she waved.
“Then, see you later.”
Ning Rong pointed to her ear.
“Remember to keep communication open.”
The girl brushed aside her hair to reveal a hidden military communicator on her left ear and showed it off.
“Don’t worry.”
Under the flashing neon of the bar’s sign, the amethyst earring and shiny star sticker on her face glimmered, but the brightest thing was the smile in her eyes.
“I’m going.”
“Mm.”
Ning Rong withdrew her gaze, lowering her head to confirm the patrol points again.
The soft sound of a car door closing came from her ear, and the silver SUV started quietly, melting into the night.
She watched out of the corner of her eye as the small, pure-white girl walked slowly into the neon-lit street.
As if stepping back into this world.
Or perhaps into…

“Are there any booths left?”
The girl waved a pre-purchased ticket at the lady behind the bar counter.
“If there are, can you reserve one for me?”
The consumption at this kind of bar wasn’t low, and booths all had a minimum spend—here, it was 1,500 yuan. The Bureau definitely wouldn’t approve so much budget just for a Magical Girl to enjoy life.
In fact, Jiang Yin already knew there were no booths available, and asking was just part of her act.
Sure enough, the receptionist glanced at her and showed a look of surprise before giving the standard response.
“Sorry, miss, there are no booths left. If you’re alone, would a single seat at the bar be okay?”
“That’s fine.”
Jiang Yin shrugged, turned, and walked straight into the bar.
“Aren’t you going to check her ID?”
The security guy sneaked a glance, only coming back to his senses after the white-haired figure disappeared completely, and asked quietly.
“She doesn’t look underage, right? Though she does look really young…”
“I’ve never seen such a pretty girl here before. Is she a university student from out of town?”
“What? You interested?”
“No way!”
The guy waved his hand in a fake carefree manner, but inside he felt a bit bitter.
“She looks like a rich lady. I can’t handle that.”
“Tch, who’d believe you.”
Jiang Yin, already inside the noisy bar, obviously couldn’t hear the conversation between the receptionist and security. She just skillfully found a seat at the cocktail bar, picked up the Cocktail List, and glanced over it.
It only took a few seconds.
If it was a little girl coming for the first time, she wouldn’t even understand the drink names, but Jiang Yin had already set the list down and tapped the Bar Counter with her knuckles.
“Sis, one Mojito, please.”
“Mojito, huh?”
The bartender at this bar was a tall, long-haired woman with icy blue highlights and a lip ring, dressed in a fitted suit and standing over 1.7 meters.
‘Sis’ was a descriptor, as she had a gentle look rather than an androgynous face.
T was a term used because she really was an aluminum rod—with a girlfriend.
When Jiang Yin first learned this, she felt a little down. They had chatted well before, giving the twenty-seven-year-old virgin illusions.
Who would’ve thought she’d now become a girl too, and the cute little bunny type she liked most.
Look at those eyes—that was clearly the look of a carnivore spotting a tasty prey.
“You’re really beautiful.”
Qv Si Nan flashed a perfect smile. A casual compliment was her go-to move when dealing with customers.
“Thank you.”
“Sis, you’re beautiful too.”
Jiang Yin lifted her clean, well-groomed fingers, subtly signaling a rejection.
Qv Si Nan’s smile froze for a moment before she chuckled.
“Hahaha, want to see a bartending show?”
“Can I?”
Jiang Yin raised an eyebrow.
“I remember that’s a paid service.”
“Your beauty has already paid for it.”
Oh, oh, oh. So all those times you charged me for the show before were because I was ugly?
‘Old worm, just you wait and see how I mess with you this time!’
