“Young Lady, isn’t… isn’t there a little too little fabric in this outfit (⸝⸝>ㅅ<⸝⸝)?”
You call this a Cat Outfit, but at best it could only be called underwear—there was a cute cat face cutout on the black shirt at the chest, and the bottoms were a pair of tie-on panties printed with a string of pink paw prints, together with black thigh-highs full of all sorts of feline details.
Su Mengdie just picked up the outfit and glanced at it, and at once her cheeks flushed a rosy pink.
“This is meant to be underwear to begin with. Compared to what Little Die planned for me to wear, this is a hundred times better. So, are you going to wear it or not?”
Penelope’s tone was firm and brooked no argument at all.
In her eyes, it was Little Die who challenged her first.
So it was only reasonable for her to respond in kind, wasn’t it?
Besides, she’d worn this outfit herself before.
It was actually quite a cute style.
It might have looked a bit odd on her, but with Little Die’s personality, it would fit perfectly.
“I’ll wear it, I’ll wear it, okay~”
After a fierce struggle inside, Su Mengdie finally chose to read the situation and go along.
Rather than being caught off guard by the Young Lady midway, it was better to put it on herself from the start.
“That’s more like it! I’ll go get you some food, so make sure to put on the Cat Ears, Bell Collar, and Tail as well~ When I get back, I want to see an adorable kitty~”
Having received a satisfactory answer, Penelope left the room in high spirits.
The moment she left, Su Mengdie collapsed onto the floor like a deflated balloon.
“This can’t go on like this…”
I have to become stronger!
Even though their bodies and positions had been switched, Su Mengdie didn’t feel the reality of being the Young Lady at all.
On the contrary, she was always being led by the nose by Penelope.
When it came down to it, the Young Lady’s body was just too weak, not a match for her own.
If only she could become a little stronger…
Then she wouldn’t have to listen to the Young Lady’s orders anymore.
Maybe she could even use this body to transform into a Magical Girl again, and defeat Canary!
“Mm! That’s what I’ll do!”
Within just a few minutes, Su Mengdie had pulled herself together once more.
With a goal to strive for, even looking at the outfit in her hand no longer troubled her.
“So what if it’s a little revealing? It’s not a big deal!”
For the sake of a better future, she would endure it!
“Oh~! Not bad at all, Little Die’s twin tails go perfectly with those Cat Ears!”
Penelope had barely opened the door with the tray in her hands when she was immediately drawn to the petite catgirl sitting on the bed.
Su Mengdie was sitting obediently at the bedside in a duck-sitting pose.
Hearing the Young Lady’s praise, the pair of Cat Ears on her head twitched nimbly, and even the slender Tail behind her swayed happily as if it were real.
No, was it actually real!?
“Young Lady, how come I never heard these Cat Ears and Tail could move, nya!”
Ever since she put on those Cat Ears, not only did her ears and Tail move, but every sentence Su Mengdie spoke now unconsciously ended with a “nya”.
This look was just too cute.
No, it was unbearably adorable~!
Just looking at her, Penelope felt a strange urge to scoop her up and snuggle her tight.
But for now, she had to restrain herself.
If she started doing something too outrageous to Su Mengdie right off the bat, she was afraid there would be less fun left for later.
“Ahem~ I forgot to mention, Little Die! This is a new technology developed by the Company, supposedly to make cosplay feel more realistic; it’s still in the experimental stage and hasn’t officially gone on sale yet.”
“So this is an Experimental Product from the Company, nya?! There’s not going to be any weird problems, nya?!”
After hearing Penelope’s explanation, Su Mengdie’s heart was now pounding in panic.
She nervously touched the ears on her head with both hands.
‘So itchy, but it feels so good~!’
This sensation… it really felt like the ears had grown right out of her own head.
And that Tail—could it be the same effect?!
With that thought in mind, Su Mengdie glanced sideways at the Tail behind her that kept swaying back and forth.
Suddenly, a powerful urge to grab it tightly surged up from the depths of her heart…
No!
‘What am I thinking! I’m not actually a cat!’
Su Mengdie was startled by her own wild thoughts, and hurriedly looked at the Young Lady who was slowly approaching her.
Fortunately, Penelope didn’t seem to notice her tangled emotions, and only thought she was worried about the outfit malfunctioning.
So she reached out and patted those cute Cat Ears to comfort her.
“It’ll be fine, don’t you trust me, Little Die? They wouldn’t dare send over anything with problems!”
Her touch was gentle, like a warm current flowing into her body.
Being petted like that, even though she felt extremely embarrassed, Su Mengdie couldn’t deny it was very comfortable…
For a moment, she really felt like a real cat, nudging her head forward, begging her owner for more affection.
As she moved, the Bell Collar around her neck let out a crisp chime, snapping Su Mengdie back to her senses in an instant.
But it was already too late.
Penelope was not only petting her head with satisfaction, she was also teasing her chin with her hand.
“What an adorable little kitty~ Even coming over to please your owner, good girl~”
“That’s not it, nya! Just now, that was a misunderstanding… I was just hungry, nya!”
Su Mengdie’s feeble protest had no force, but Penelope didn’t expose her, instead giving her two choices.
“That’s fine, but before you eat, Little Die must make a choice! Do you want to eat on the floor, or…”
“The second one! I choose the second one, nya!”
Was there even a need to hesitate!
No matter what, there couldn’t be a more outrageous option than the first, right?
“Such an impatient kitty, but that’s fine, I like straightforward kitties! Then Little Die can start pleasing me now.”
“Nya?”
Su Mengdie froze for a moment, clearly not understanding why she had to please her just to get a meal.
“The second option is to earn your food with a performance, Little Die. Isn’t that what pets are for~”
Penelope propped her chin in her hand, grinning mischievously at her.
Darn it, nya, she really was treating her like a pet, nya!?
Humiliation—whether as a maid or as a Magical Girl, this demand was far too humiliating for her…
Su Mengdie bit her lip in shame, her face so red it was about to drip blood.
“Does Little Die not have an appetite? Then I’ll just finish the food for you, hmm?”
Seeing the Young Lady about to get up, Su Mengdie grabbed the skirt of the Maid Uniform, and with her other hand formed a cat paw, gazing at her with tear-filled eyes.
“Nya~”
It really seemed like she might have gone too far.
Looking at that adorable yet pitiful expression, Penelope felt her heart race, but she also knew Su Mengdie was about at her limit.
So she stroked her head gently and said softly,
“Very good~ Obedient kitties get to eat. Tonight, you’ll have a delicious, sizzling Steak~!”
