It was all that little catgirl’s fault!
Everything was her fault!
The moment she thought of Su Ruanruan’s bare, fair, tender feet propped on the edge of the sofa, even deliberately brushing against the side of her leg with those soft toes, she would start feeling strange.
Rinki Nao and that Peach girl often bathed with her and everything, so why didn’t she feel this way when looking at their feet?
Besides, she had the same thing herself.
Moreover, they all looked pretty similar, and they were all girls too.
Although she never said it out loud, Rinki Nao and Peach were both very cute—the kind where it wouldn’t be strange if they had hundreds or thousands of pursuers.
So why didn’t she get these weird feelings toward them?
Well, even if they might be just a tiny bit inferior to Su Ruanruan, that was only in terms of aura.
After all, Su Ruanruan really did have a certain…
Was it really different?
After all, the moment she thought of Su Ruanruan’s cold white skin, her plump instep, and the faint pink on the soles when they curled slightly… I… I…
Pa.
Hoshino Haruka violently turned off the faucet.
Because she used too much force, a few drops of water splashed onto the neat collar of her school uniform.
She forcefully suppressed the inexplicable heat rising in her chest from reminiscing and picked up the kitchen knife.
Thud, thud, thud—
The blade struck the cutting board, producing dull sounds.
***
On the other side.
Su Ruanruan stood barefoot in front of the full-length mirror, lowering her head to tug at the sports shorts on her body and slightly pursing her lips.
The girl in the mirror had silver hair cascading down. Because the neckline was really too large, it hung loosely to one side, revealing one side of her fair collarbone.
The ridiculously long hem just barely covered the black sports shorts inside.
If one didn’t look carefully, her lower body looked as if she wasn’t wearing anything at all, exposing two sections of straight, fair little short legs.
However, Su Ruanruan didn’t care about that.
Instead, she reached out and pinched the soft layer of flesh at her waist, then glanced at her flat chest with no curves whatsoever.
Her eyes revealed a trace of unconcealable gloom.
Well, even though she had gotten carried away wanting to tease Hoshino Haruka, who would show cute reactions, this loli body no matter how you looked at it was just that of a child.
Even she felt a bit… that.
Although Hoshino Haruka, Kanzaki Yoruha, and other Witches seemed to like it a lot, still:
Weak! Short! Scarce magic power!
She hadn’t even grown in several years.
Even Kanzaki Yoruha, who used to be a little radish head when she was young, had grown almost a head taller than her, while her own appearance hadn’t changed much.
Her magic power was also pathetically weak.
She really didn’t know what they liked about her. Maybe they were all perverts who loved bullying this type?
Clearly someone with a figure like Louise’s was the best.
“Alas.”
She sighed, but soon the pair of fluffy cat ears on her head perked up again.
Thinking about how she was about to complete her first time bullying someone in her life, and seeing Hoshino Haruka’s cold face show cute expressions, Su Ruanruan felt a bit excited.
However… the problem was—her gaze involuntarily followed the mirror and landed on her own pair of feet.
Even now she still felt extremely ashamed, and completely unable to understand—why that expressionless Hoshino Haruka actually had this kind of perverted fetish for her… feet, feet!
Su Ruanruan curiously and shyly stood on tiptoe, slightly lifting one leg, and carefully examined the little foot hanging in midair.
It was just like that, wasn’t it?
What was so good about it anyway?
Liking her face was one thing.
Well, she wasn’t bragging, but it really was quite pretty.
But feet… there shouldn’t be anything special about them, right?
At most, because she rarely went out, the skin on her instep had a cold white color from never seeing sunlight.
And probably influenced by her loli physique, there was still a bit of baby fat that hadn’t faded, making it look plump.
The five little toes were round and even.
With her slight exertion, the slender arch curved into a soft, beautiful arc, and the thin layer of soft flesh on the sole glowed with a faint pink.
As Su Ruanruan watched, her ten toes couldn’t help but curl up guiltily.
“…I still can’t understand it, that pervert.”
She muttered softly, her cheeks inexplicably feeling a bit hot.
Thinking of Hoshino Haruka’s always cold and calm black eyes secretly staring at her feet with that extremely aggressive gloominess, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if feathers were tickling the soles of her feet.
Acting so cool and aloof, yet secretly having such thoughts about my feet.
Eww, this is way too shameless.
But, hee hee, this was perfect.
Teasing this dead-serious girl and seeing her flustered and panicked expression was actually quite interesting.
As Su Ruanruan’s first prey in this world, tremble! Magical Girl!
Su Ruanruan took a deep breath, feeling an excitement from doing something bad.
Listening to the sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen outside, she tiptoed barefoot and slipped out.
…
The chopping sounds in the kitchen were dense and rhythmic.
Su Ruanruan walked to the doorway.
Because of the stimulating feeling of about to tease Hoshino Haruka, her breathing had become lighter.
She had never done this kind of thing before.
She stopped, just about to strike the pose she had practiced in front of the mirror.
Pat.
The sole of her foot suddenly stepped on an uncollected plastic bag and slipped.
“Wah—”
With a short cry of alarm, Su Ruanruan’s whole body pitched forward uncontrollably.
She flailed her hands wildly in midair and managed to grab the doorframe tightly, barely avoiding falling face-first to the ground.
The huge commotion made the chopping sounds on the cutting board stop abruptly.
Su Ruanruan froze at the doorframe.
Her little face, which had originally been excited about bullying someone for the first time, instantly burned bright red.
This was way too embarrassing.
But there was no turning back once the arrow was on the string.
Su Ruanruan gritted her teeth, forcibly straightened her weak legs and stood upright.
She took a deep breath and, steeling herself, forced out a smile.
Stiffly raising her hand, she tucked the stray hair by her cheek behind her ear.
“Haruka… Haruka~”
Because she felt guilty, the deliberately softened cute voice sounded a bit shaky.
The cat tail behind her also stood stiffly in midair.
Hearing the voice, Hoshino Haruka turned around.
Su Ruanruan’s gaze fell on that person.
Her tall, slender figure was wrapped in a neat pleated skirt school uniform, the bow tie tied meticulously, and her signature long black straight hair draped smoothly over her shoulders.
No matter how you looked at it, she was a beautiful girl without any flaws.
But at this moment, that expressionless, indifferent three-no face carried an indescribable stiffness.
Hoshino Haruka’s gaze only lingered for half a second on Su Ruanruan’s bare legs, especially on those white tender little feet slightly curled on the floor.
Then, as if burned by something, she abruptly looked away.
Her whole body exuded a flustered, at-a-loss feeling.
“…The food’s ready. Ruanruan, can you help serve the rice and bring it out?”
