The starry sky battle suit seemed a size too small, tightly clinging to Li Huayu’s body, with the skirt hem even shorter than before.
Especially around the chest area, it was stretched so tight that one worried the buttons might pop off at any moment.
“What’s wrong with this outfit, it’s moving on its own! I can’t stop it!”
Li Huayu tried to grab the back of the seat next to her to steady herself, but her hand wouldn’t obey, stiffly swinging as if under someone else’s command.
She stumbled back to her original spot.
The remaining passengers on the bus looked on curiously at the absurd scene.
Li Huayu felt like a puppet, forcibly controlled by the suddenly animated clothes, returning all the way to the owner of the item she’d just stolen—Luo Tianyou.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Luo Tianyou, I didn’t mean to steal from you.”
Li Huayu apologized frantically.
“It was the organization—they forced me. If I don’t turn in something valuable, they’ll break my legs. I saw your clothes looked special and expensive, so I lost my mind…”
“Give it back!”
Luo Tianyou wiped her eye, sniffed, and grabbed at Li Huayu’s chest, trying to pull off her clothes.
“Don’t! Ah! Slow down, don’t rush! I’m not wearing anything underneath. Wait until we get off, then I’ll find a place to take it off for you, okay?”
Li Huayu winced from the pain, but the outfit refused to obey her, leaving her completely immobilized.
Luo Tianyou paused, glaring coldly at Li Huayu.
“Return everything else to me first.”
“Yes, yes.”
Li Huayu obediently took out Luo Tianyou’s belongings from her small backpack.
Luo Tianyou counted—everything was there.
“Now, give me back the clothes.”
“I can’t give it to you now. I’m not wearing anything underneath. You can’t expect me to walk around naked…”
“What’s that got to do with me? Did I steal something? You must take it off and give it back immediately!”
Luo Tianyou was furious.
Stealing and still acting righteous—she’d nearly ended up alone in a foreign land.
Even the management bureau could only treat her as someone with no identity and lock her up temporarily.
“Wait, I tried. This outfit won’t come off for now. It seems to have a mind of its own.”
Li Huayu was on the verge of tears, trying to untie the sash, twisting her body, but the starry sky battle suit only responded by puffing its skirt wider, her arms refusing to listen.
Luo Tianyou reached to untie the sash on Li Huayu’s back.
Li Huayu’s body reacted automatically, flipping over and landing directly on Luo Tianyou’s lap.
“Ugh!”
Luo Tianyou grunted under the sudden weight.
The two ended up in an extremely ambiguous position, with Li Huayu straddling Luo Tianyou’s legs, her body held upright by the battle suit, and Luo Tianyou instinctively wrapping her arms around Li Huayu’s waist to steady her.
Li Huayu’s warm body and slender, flexible waist felt incredibly soft to the touch.
Meanwhile, the battle suit seemed determined to press Li Huayu closer against Luo Tianyou.
Her already strained chest was pressed even flatter.
To outsiders, this looked just like a couple in an intimate embrace.
At this moment, the remaining passengers on the bus—all young girls—were taken aback by the scene, whispering among themselves.
“They’re really bold, role-playing like this in public. I can’t imagine what they do at home.”
Luo Tianyou grew annoyed, trying hard to push Li Huayu away, but she felt like a clingy, lovesick girlfriend, impossible to budge.
“Pfft! Get away from me!”
“I don’t want this either, I can’t control my body at all.”
Li Huayu truly felt like crying but had no tears.
If she’d known things would turn out this way, she’d have sold the outfit instead of wearing it for beauty.
Luo Tianyou gritted her teeth and threatened in a low voice.
“When we get off, find a place without people and take it off for me, or I’ll call the management bureau and report you for theft and sexual harassment!”
Li Huayu nodded frantically.
Luo Tianyou ignored her, staring out the window, trying to calm herself.
The bus rumbled on, and the closer it got to C City, the worse the traffic became.
There were countless stops and sudden brakes along the way.
Li Huayu looked at Luo Tianyou’s expression for a few seconds, her own face paling.
“Can you… not throw up on me?”
Luo Tianyou’s face was white.
Her head leaned against Li Huayu’s chest, gulping in air.
The unique scent of grass and wood mixed on Li Huayu’s chest became Luo Tianyou’s lifeline in the hell of motion sickness.
“Ugh… Don’t breathe on me…”
Li Huayu felt ticklish where Luo Tianyou’s breath touched below her collarbone.
She tried to lean back, but the battle suit held her firmly, forcing her to keep straddling Luo Tianyou and holding her in her arms.
Luo Tianyou’s face was pale, sweat beading on her forehead and back. She accused weakly.
“This is all your fault. If you hadn’t stolen from me, I wouldn’t be—Ugh…”
Another sudden brake.
“Ah!”
They both cried out.
Under the battle suit’s control, Li Huayu’s arms tightened to protect Luo Tianyou, pressing her head deeper into her chest.
“Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh!!”
Luo Tianyou struggled in vain, hands flailing against Li Huayu’s back and waist.
Help, I’m going to suffocate.
Li Huayu panicked.
“S-sorry, I didn’t want this either. It’s the outfit, it’s moving! Hurry, get out… I can’t breathe…”
Luo Tianyou barely managed to turn her head, gasping for air, her face flushed from lack of oxygen and embarrassment.
She glared fiercely at Li Huayu, but with her weakened, teary-eyed state, the glare lacked any threat and instead resembled a kitten throwing a tantrum.
“Just you wait. When we get off… I’ll make you pay…”
She finished her feeble threat and immediately retched again.
Li Huayu looked at Luo Tianyou’s pitiful expression.
Even though she probably wanted to hit someone, a strange emotion rose in her heart.
Why was this girl so cute when angry? Even her threats were soft and fluffy.
Li Huayu tried to say something to ease the tension or at least get out of the awkward pose, but the starry sky battle suit seemed to be having too much fun.
As the bus jolted again, the suit twisted her waist slightly, as if adjusting its position.
“Mm…”
Li Huayu let out a tiny, uncontrollable moan, her face turning bright red.
What the hell is wrong with this stupid outfit?
Is it simulating some weird scenario?
Luo Tianyou frowned.
She just thought Li Huayu knew she was carsick and was deliberately messing with her.
Just wait.
Once we’re off this bus, I’ll definitely beat you up.
Every so often, the battle suit would twist again.
Each time, Luo Tianyou’s anger only grew.
The surrounding passengers, all young girls headed to C City for the Magical Girl selection, had heard rumors about what happened to Magical Girls, but this kind of dramatic forced romance scene left them hesitant.
Are Magical Girls really this weird?
Maybe joining a band would be better.
