Chapter 50: Cute Pinch

She hadn’t even licked her feet yet.

And yet Luotian You had already forgiven her.

Yuexia Liuli even felt like she was dreaming.

Pouting really worked.

She had never imagined she would use this method.

A dignified S-class magical girl, squatting on the ground hugging her knees, begging for forgiveness… If anyone who used to know her saw this, their eyes would probably pop out.

Flora’s notebook really doesn’t lie.

But what a perverted treasure girl.

How exactly was Luotian You raised by Flora? Was it… training?

She couldn’t figure it out.

Luotian You, walking ahead, suddenly sneezed.

“Caught a cold?” Kotomi asked with concern.

“No, my nose just suddenly itched.”

Luotian You rubbed her nose.

Lin Weiwei opened the door to the conference room.

An oval conference table, several chairs, a tea counter against the wall with a kettle and paper cups.

Outside the window was the greenery belt below the Administration building, bathed in perfect sunlight.

“Everyone sit down first.”

Kotomi sat first, placing the file folder in her hand on the table.

Luotian You sat to her left.

Rika sat right next to Luotian You.

Yuexia Liuli originally wanted to sit on Luotian You’s other side, but after one glance from Luotian You, she immediately changed her mind and sat to Kotomi’s right—so she and Luotian You faced each other across the table.

“Pfft.”

Kotomi couldn’t help laughing.

“Little Liuli is so obedient now?”

“I’m just honoring the agreement.”

Luotian You lowered her head to study the strawberry cake box in her hands, pretending not to hear.

She could feel Yuexia Liuli’s gaze drifting over from time to time, making her heart feel a little ticklish.

Like being nudged by a golden retriever’s wet nose.

“Okay, first thing—about Rika.”

Kotomi spoke, turning to Rika.

“Anyone who has been controlled will have residual Kyrie power left in their body. Even though you brought it under control, it’s still monster power. Leaving it long-term carries risks.”

Rika grew a little nervous.

“Then what should I do?”

“You need a full magical power and vital signs examination. The Administration has specialized equipment that can evaluate the stability of the energy inside you and what effects it might have. If we confirm there’s risk, we’ll find ways to purify or channel it for you. Also—you can try participating in the magical girl selection later. That examination report will be required.”

“Huh? Me?”

Rika sounded pleasantly surprised.

“Not willing?”

“I am! I am!” Rika nodded repeatedly.

“As for little You…”

Luotian You sat up straight.

“The magical girl selection in half a month—every applicant must submit a basic physical and magical power data report. It’s a hard requirement. Without the report, you won’t pass the initial screening. So you need to get examined too.”

Luotian You blinked. “The selection requires a medical report?”

Kotomi explained, “Not an ordinary physical. It’s a magical-girl-specific magical adaptability and life-form assessment report. It covers magical density, magical affinity, the body’s carrying limit for magic, special ability analysis… basically, extremely detailed.”

“Okay then.”

Luotian You didn’t think much of it.

It was just a check-up.

“Then later Lin Weiwei will take you two to the testing center. I’ve already let them know—preliminary results in two hours.”

Kotomi looked at Yuexia Liuli again.

“Little Liuli, do you want to—”

“No need.”

Yuexia Liuli shook her head.

“My data is already on file with the Administration. If it needs updating, I’ll handle it myself. But I can go with You.”

Luotian You glanced at her and received Yuexia Liuli’s well-behaved smile in return.

Fine.

She already said she forgave her.

If she wants to tag along, let her.

…

The testing center was a standalone white building.

A sign at the entrance read: C City Magical Girl Magical Power & Vital Signs Testing Center.

The lobby was very quiet, with only a few staff working behind the counter.

A middle-aged woman in a white uniform came over.

“Director Lin, Lady Kotomi has already informed us. The two young ladies needing examinations, please follow me.”

Her gaze shifted to Yuexia Liuli.

“Lady Yuexia Liuli, you…”

“I’m accompanying them.”

“Understood. Then please have the three of you wait briefly in the waiting area. I’ll arrange a guide to take the two young ladies to the changing room.”

Changing room?

Luotian You tilted her head.

Right, physicals require changing clothes… but it should just be those examination gowns, like hospital patient gowns.

Thinking this, she relaxed a little.

The waiting area had several rows of sofas, with magazines and drinking water on the coffee tables.

Yuexia Liuli sat on the single sofa right beside Luotian You, legs together, hands resting on her knees—posture as proper as an elementary school student.

Luotian You couldn’t help glancing at her again.

“You don’t have to be so stiff.”

“I’m worried you’re not used to it,” Yuexia Liuli said softly.

“Do whatever you want.”

Luotian You turned her head and happened to see Rika nervously clutching the hem of her shirt.

“Don’t be scared. It’s just a check-up,” she comforted.

“Mm.” Rika nodded, but her eyes still wandered.

A few minutes later, a young female guide approached with a friendly smile.

“Miss Luotian You, Miss Rika, please follow me. The changing room is this way.”

Luotian You stood up.

Rika stood up after her.

Yuexia Liuli stood as well.

“I’ll wait here for you,” she said.

Luotian You nodded and followed the guide down the hallway.

The changing room was at the end of the corridor—a bright, spacious space with rows of lockers on both sides, several long benches in the middle, and two small doors at the far end labeled Shower and Prep Room.

“Please change here.”

The guide took two neatly folded sets of white clothing from a locker and placed them on the bench.

“These are specially designed for examinations. Please remove all clothing, including undergarments, and put these on. You may take a quick rinse in the shower if needed. After the examination, you can shower and change back here.”

All… clothing?

Luotian You’s expression froze.

“All of it?”

“Yes, all of it.”

The guide patiently explained, “Magical girl physical examinations are extremely comprehensive. We need to accurately assess magical flow throughout the entire body. Any clothing—even undergarments—can interfere with the results.”

“I’ll wait outside. Once you’re changed, just knock and I’ll take you to the examination room.”

With that, the guide left and closed the door.

Only Luotian You and Rika remained in the room.

Along with those two sets of almost see-through white examination suits.

Luotian You stared at the clothes.

Completely naked.

Naked.

Bare.

She looked down at herself.

Although her body had been slowly feminizing lately—small curves at her chest, a slimmer waist, smoother skin…

But down there…

Down there there was still nothing!

Luotian You’s face exploded red instantly.

How was she supposed to take everything off?

Wouldn’t everything be completely exposed?

“You? What’s wrong? Your face is so red,” Rika noticed.

“Nothing.”

Luotian You waved frantically.

“Just… a little hot.”

“Then let’s change quickly and finish the exam early.”

As she spoke, Rika began unbuttoning her top.

Luotian You watched wide-eyed as she took off her jacket, then her T-shirt, revealing pure white underwear.

“Wait!”

Luotian You blurted out.

Rika paused, looking at her in confusion.

“Um, Rika, aren’t you embarrassed? It’s everything off… maybe we should just… skip it?”

Rika blinked, cheeks tinting pink.

“A little. But Weiwei-jie told me beforehand that there would probably be a physical like this. She said it’s to accurately assess our condition so they can protect us better. And… we’re all girls, so it’s fine.”

“You’re a girl too, You. We can help each other and it won’t be embarrassing.”

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just a check-up.”

No—the problem is that the “I’m a girl too” part isn’t fully true yet!

Luotian You was in turmoil inside.

Rika had already unhooked her bra.

Luotian You turned around to face the lockers, too embarrassed to know what to do.

“You change first. I’ll wait until you’re done.”

“You’re so shy, You. It’s really okay. I don’t mind at all.”

Rika smiled, genuinely delighted to see Luotian You like this for the first time.

She still remembered their first meeting—when she had stripped naked right in front of Luotian You, and Luotian You hadn’t been this shy at all.

I mind!

I mind a lot!

Luotian You listened to the rustling fabric sounds behind her and felt like she was about to break.

She wasn’t afraid of Rika’s flat figure—she was terrified of the classic girl-on-girl CG moment that usually happened at times like this, followed by uncontrollable clinging, and then the inevitable discovery that there was nothing down there.

No good.

She had to think of something.

Pretend to be sick?

Sudden faint? Or maybe…

“You, I’m done.”

Luotian You turned around.

Rika had already put on the white examination suit.

It was a one-piece garment of some unclear material, clinging tightly to her body and outlining the youthful yet balanced curves of a teenage girl.

Key areas had double-layered fabric for slight coverage, but the contours were still visible.

Her hair was tied into a bun, exposing a slender neck and collarbones.

Her cheeks carried a faint blush.

“Your turn. Need help?”

“No, I can do it myself.”

“But you look so nervous.”

Rika stepped closer, looking at her with concern.

“You, have you… never undressed in front of anyone before?”

It’s worse than that…

I can barely even look at myself properly!

Luotian You wanted to cry but had no tears.

“Rika, actually I…” She opened her mouth, trying to find an excuse.

But Rika had already reached out and gently placed her hand on Luotian You’s collar.

“It’s okay, You. I know you’re shy. But if you want to become a magical girl, you have to face this. And… we’re friends, right? Friends don’t need to be shy with each other.”

As she spoke, she began unbuttoning Luotian You’s top.

Luotian You froze completely.

Her mind went blank.

Her body felt paused.

She could only watch helplessly as Rika undid one button after another, then gently pulled the top down.

Cool air touched her skin.

Luotian You shivered.

“See? Easy, right?”

Rika smiled, folded the removed top neatly, set it on the bench, then reached for Luotian You’s pants.

“Wait—let me do the bottom myself!”

Rika obediently pulled her hands back, stepping half a pace away, lips curved in a tiny smile.

“You really embarrass easily.

Like a little kid.”

I’m not a little kid! My… size lying down is bigger than yours.

Luotian You grumbled inwardly, but her hands moved as slowly as a snail.

She turned around, back to Rika, undid her pants button, pulled down the zipper.

The pants slid to her ankles.

She quickly kicked them off, then squatted to pick up the pants and socks together and set them aside.

Now she was left only in her underwear.

White, with little star patterns.

What do I do what do I do what do I do…

Just say I’m not doing the exam?

No—Kotomi-neesan would ask why.

Say I suddenly got my period?

But a magical girl exam would definitely detect that as a lie.

Pretend to faint?

Not realistic.

This was a testing center—they had doctors and medical equipment.

“You? You okay? Did you squat too long and get dizzy?”

As she spoke, Rika came over and also squatted down, looking sideways at Luotian You’s bright-red face.

“Your face is so red… even your ears are red.”

Rika reached out and touched Luotian You’s forehead.

“Not hot, though. You, are you really that scared?”

Luotian You opened her mouth.

Her voice was mosquito-small.

“I’m just… not used to it.”

“It’s okay. Everyone’s like that the first time.”

Rika comforted her, then blushed faintly and said, “How about this—I’ll take it off for you to watch. Once you see it’s really nothing scary, you’ll be fine.”

Wait—what are you—

Before Luotian You could stop her, Rika had already stood up.

Then, under Luotian You’s horrified gaze, she reached for the side zipper of the examination suit and pulled it down.

The thin white fabric slid off her shoulders.

Luotian You immediately squeezed her eyes shut.

“You, open your eyes. Look—see? Really nothing.”

“I’m not looking!”

“Why not? We’re both girls.”

“That’s exactly why I can’t look!”

“Huh? Why?”

Rika was genuinely puzzled.

“Don’t girls often bathe and change together? Weiwei-jie said at the magical girl academy, everyone uses the public bathhouse.”

There’s a public bathhouse?!

Luotian You felt darkness cloud her vision.

No way—absolutely no way.

She could never go to a place like that… she’d be treated like some rare zoo animal…

“You?” Rika’s voice came closer.

Luotian You felt a warm hand gently grasp her wrist.

“Don’t be afraid. I really don’t mind,” Rika said softly.

“And if you stay this shy forever, what will you do? The exam has to be done. You can’t escape it.”

As she spoke, her other hand gently pressed Luotian You’s shoulder.

“Come on, stand up. I’ll help you. Once it’s off, it’ll be over. Really.”

Half-forced, Luotian You was pulled to her feet.

She kept her eyes closed, but she could feel Rika’s fingers touching the clasp of her bra at her back.

A soft click.

The restraint loosened.

Aaaah…

Luotian You screamed internally.

But Rika’s movements stopped.

“You?”

The tone carried clear confusion.

Luotian You’s heart skipped a beat.

She noticed?

She saw?

“Why is it… a bit strange here?”

Luotian You opened her eyes.

Rika was looking down at her chest with pure, academic puzzlement.

“You, your chest… is so small.”

Luotian You: “…”

So it was about the chest?

No—this was not the time to feel relieved.

Luotian You immediately crossed her arms over her chest, squatted down, and curled into a ball.

“Don’t look!”

“Sorry sorry!” Rika waved her hands frantically.

“I didn’t mean to say it like that. I just thought… small is kind of cute.”
