“Canary, give up. The place is surrounded by Magical Girls—you have no way out.”
As a rising star within the evil organization, Canary’s name had already become well-known among the Magical Girls.
But luck wasn’t on her side today.
By sheer accident, she had run into the strongest Magical Girl—Swallowtail.
“Swallowtail, actually, you’re the one who should surrender. Do you think all I do is petty sabotage—pulling out cables, cutting off power? No, my target has always been you!”
Faced with Swallowtail’s attempt to convince her to surrender, Canary let out a scornful, cold laugh.
Surrender?
That word simply did not exist in her vocabulary!
As soon as she finished speaking, Golden Magic quickly condensed at her delicate fingertips, turning into a full-power strike aimed straight at the black-haired girl before her.
If only things could be resolved peacefully.
Up until the very last second before Canary attacked, Swallowtail still fantasized about saving the fallen girl in front of her.
But since Canary made the first move, she couldn’t blame anyone but herself!
Two golden lights clashed violently, entangling and intertwining like a Yin-Yang Diagram, illuminating the entire building as if it were broad daylight.
At first, the two surges of magic were evenly matched, but then—without any warning—something unexpected happened.
The two different Golden Magic forces suddenly merged, and the explosive force that erupted instantly destroyed the entire area.
The two at the center of the blast were swallowed by the intense light, and eventually lost consciousness…
***
In the darkness, a girl with long golden hair slowly opened her eyes.
“Did I… come back?”
Her eyes landed on furniture full of signs of daily life.
There was a faint, pleasant fragrance in the air—it didn’t look like a hospital at all.
But her body still ached, and her head felt fuzzy.
She couldn’t remember how she got back.
“Right, I should undo my transformation now, shouldn’t I?”
The blonde girl sat up from the soft velvet bed, and as she was about to check her body’s condition, she realized something was off.
“Velvet? Isn’t this the Young Lady’s bed?!”
Her name was Su Mengdie.
On the surface, she was the Young Lady’s childhood friend, growing up alongside her.
But in truth, she was just a maid of the Jinzhi Family, only fit to sleep on a hard wooden bed.
If the Young Lady found out she’d slept on her bed, knowing her temperament, Su Mengdie would surely be thrown out without a second thought.
Su Mengdie jumped off the bed in a panic, cautiously glancing around the room.
After making sure no one had seen her, she hurried to tidy up the bed so it looked untouched.
Looking at the bed, now perfectly restored, Su Mengdie finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to draw back the curtains.
She had just glanced at the clock—it was already past seven in the morning.
On a normal day, this was when she would go to the Young Lady’s room to wake her up and help her get dressed.
But why was she in the Young Lady’s bed?
And where was the Young Lady?
Su Mengdie guessed maybe the Young Lady had gone to the restroom, and she, being too tired, had groggily crawled into the bed.
That could barely explain her groggy head and the fragmented memory, almost like she’d gotten blackout drunk.
But when she drew back the curtains and saw the reflection of a cute, blonde-haired girl in the glass, Su Mengdie suddenly realized she might have oversimplified things.
“That’s the Young Lady?!”
Her heart skipped a beat as she stared at her own reflection.
Wait—she’d become the Young Lady?!
Su Mengdie lifted her own hair, only to find it was naturally wavy, long, and golden—a trait unique to the Jinzhi Family.
Only the Young Lady’s family, and the Young Lady herself, had it.
Even though her mind was clear, Su Mengdie still found it unbelievable.
Determined, she pinched her own soft, tender cheek.
“Hiss~! That hurts!”
A red mark appeared, swelling into a little bump.
So this wasn’t a dream!
Su Mengdie felt like the world was playing a trick on her.
She’d only gotten into a fight with Canary—how did she wake up as the Young Lady?
Could this be another one of Canary’s schemes?
“No, now’s not the time to worry about Canary. If I’m the Young Lady… then where is the Young Lady?”
It was already past seven, yet Su Mengdie, who was supposed to be here to wake the Young Lady, was nowhere to be found…
“Could it be!”
Su Mengdie hurriedly changed into the clothes the Young Lady usually wore, then dashed out the door, heading straight for her own room.
On the way, every maid who saw her greeted her politely, not daring to offend the capricious Young Lady.
Su Mengdie wasn’t used to playing the Young Lady’s role.
Out of habit, she replied with a polite “good morning.”
After she passed, a few maids huddled together, whispering behind her back.
“Doesn’t the Young Lady seem a little different today?”
“Yeah, normally she doesn’t bother with us at all. If we don’t greet her, we get punished. But today, she even said good morning to me!”
“Shh, quiet! Scatter! Maybe the Young Lady’s watching us, just waiting for us to act like this so she can jump out and accuse us of gossiping about her.”
“Good point!”
Hearing this, the maids nodded vigorously and quickly went back to their own work.
At this moment, Su Mengdie had no time to worry about the other maids.
She hurried to her own room and flung open the door.
The room was simply decorated, but clean and tidy—clearly well cared for.
Inside, the room’s owner—a black-haired maid in only a nightgown—was enduring a long lecture from the Head Maid for oversleeping, looking utterly hopeless.
The door opening caught her attention.
She looked up at the visitor and immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
Seeing her reaction, the Head Maid assumed she was trying to distract her and make a run for it, and raised her hand, ready to punish her.
“Su Mengdie!”
“Stop!”
Seeing her own body about to get hit, Su Mengdie immediately shouted to stop the Head Maid.
“Young Lady! Good morning~ Young Lady.”
The Young Lady’s sudden appearance caught the Head Maid off guard, but she quickly regained her composure, returning to her usual calm, politely curtsying with a lift of her skirt.
That level of composure—no wonder she was the Head Maid.
No, now wasn’t the time to admire her!
Su Mengdie imitated the Young Lady’s attitude, cleared her throat, and gave the Head Maid a cold command.
“This doesn’t concern you. You may leave.”
“Yes, Young Lady!”
The Head Maid’s loyalty to the Young Lady was absolute.
No matter what the Young Lady said, Su Mengdie had never seen the Head Maid object.
Even though she hadn’t finished scolding Su Mengdie, she turned and left immediately, even closing the door for her on the way out.
Once the crisp sound of high heels faded down the hallway, Su Mengdie finally approached the person already seated in the chair.
“Young Lady, are you alright?”
The black-haired maid before her was clearly the real owner of her current body—Penelope Jinzhi, the Young Lady of the Jinzhi Family.
“Do I look alright to you?! Su Mengdie~ You’re really bold, huh! You even dared to set your sights on me! Did you think that just because we swapped bodies, this house would be yours to command?”
Hmm… wasn’t that true?
The Head Maid’s reaction just now had already made that clear, hadn’t it?
But she never intended to take over!
“Young Lady, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean that.”
“Then what do you mean? How are you going to explain this situation?”
“I…”
Su Mengdie hesitated, at a loss for words.
She couldn’t just say it all happened because she fought Canary.
Her identity as a Magical Girl had to remain a secret!
“What, nothing to say? If you’re scheming, you’re scheming! After all the years we’ve played together, you treat me like this now!”
Su Mengdie’s silence only made the Young Lady press harder.
At last, Su Mengdie couldn’t take it anymore.
When she was the Young Lady, a little willfulness was fine.
But now that she was Su Mengdie, if she kept acting arrogant and the Head Maid saw, she might really get thrown out.
That was her own body, after all!
“Young Lady, I advise you to realize your current status. Right now, even if I do anything to you, no one’s going to help you!”
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I!”
For the sake of her future, Su Mengdie decided it was time to teach the Young Lady a little lesson—using physics!
