The magical girl contract was, in a sense, a loan agreement.
The more enjoyable the convenience brought by magic, the more painful (and pleasurable) the debt repayment would be afterward.
Su Xiaocheng walked through the familiar alley. The path, which was usually deserted, was even more empty today—not a single soul in sight.
Having flown here with all her strength, Su Xiaocheng no longer dared to use any more magic power.
She was still in her transformed state, but the discomfort from her depleted magic kept surging.
Only by sheer willpower was she able to stop herself from losing control right there on the street.
“Xiaocheng, hang in there, meow! We’re almost home, meow!”
Su Xiaocheng felt like she could hear her Maiden Heart trembling uncontrollably.
Her legs shook slightly as she took small, careful steps toward home.
As long as I can reach… that place…
“Huh? Xiaocheng? You’re even cuter in person than in the photo~” A brilliant purple streak of light flashed across the night sky.
A blonde girl wearing a purple-black stage outfit appeared.
She had a small side ponytail with a bow trailing behind it.
Her mismatched high and low black stockings paired with leg rings gave her legs a distinct layered look.
The blonde girl slowly descended. “Do you need help?”
“Who are you, meow! Don’t come any closer, meow!”
Xiaotuan instantly transformed into full defensive mode.
A gorgeously feathered lark appeared on the girl’s shoulder.
“Little kitty, calm down. We mean no harm.”
“Oh, it’s another magical girl, meow~ Please help, meow~ Help us get to a place where we can rest, meow~”
Having no shame about changing attitude, Xiaotuan immediately switched to acting cute, completely different from its earlier aggressive hissing.
“Leave it to me.”
The blonde girl supported Su Xiaocheng and turned into a stream of light, flying toward the city center.
“Aren’t we going the wrong way, meow?”
“It’s fine. I have a suitable place to rest. We’ll be there soon.”
Before long, Su Xiaocheng was brought to a hundred-meter-tall building—the Ningxi International Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in all of Anning City.
The blonde girl landed directly on the roof, then casually took the private elevator down from the helipad into the top-floor luxury suite.
She gently laid the now dazed and barely conscious Su Xiaocheng onto the grand bed.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll step out. Just call the room service phone if you need anything.”
Seeing Su Xiaocheng’s small hands already starting to tug at her own dress, the blonde girl thought to herself, What a strange condition.
Xiaocheng’s contract is quite unusual.
“Mmm~” Su Xiaocheng let out a soft, sweet moan.
The blonde girl instinctively glanced back, realized her action was a bit rude, and softly apologized.
Before she could turn away, Su Xiaocheng suddenly sprang up from the bed and wrapped herself around the blonde girl.
Under the shocked gazes of one girl, one cat, and one bird, Su Xiaocheng directly kissed her.
“Meow?”
“?!”
“!”
After a long moment, the warm sensation left her lips.
The blonde girl looked at Su Xiaocheng’s misty, sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks, and felt her own heart skip a beat.
What a wonderful feeling~
The lark, sharing a telepathic bond with the blonde girl, immediately grabbed Xiaotuan by the scruff of its neck and carried it to the living room, thoughtfully closing the bedroom door behind them.
“Let me go, meow!”
Xiaotuan protested strongly.
It struggled fiercely. Its struggle failed.
Xiaotuan accepted its fate and lay flat—mainly because it discovered that the room’s complimentary snacks included spicy dried fish from a particularly expensive brand that even Su Xiaocheng hadn’t been willing to buy for it.
Once the outsiders had left, Su Xiaocheng grew even bolder.
She hung from the blonde girl’s neck, her legs tightly wrapped around her waist, and slowly leaned in, wanting to taste that softness again.
“I’ll explain to Youzi later,” the blonde girl convinced herself. “Xiaocheng started this. I’m the victim here too~”
“Mmm—mmph…”
Su Xiaocheng was pressed down onto the bed, her moans swallowed by the blonde girl’s kiss.
“Mmm… ah~”
It was a sleepless night.
***
The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on Su Xiaocheng’s face.
She groggily opened her eyes and found herself lying on an unfamiliar king-sized luxury bed.
She didn’t even know when she had released her transformation.
The discomfort from her depleted magic had completely vanished, replaced by a satisfying feeling of full magic power.
However, her entire body felt soft and weak, and she was a little thirsty.
She summoned her Maiden Heart.
The pink Maiden Heart was still spotless.
It seemed yesterday’s battle hadn’t left any hidden problems. Su Xiaocheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She wanted to get up but couldn’t muster any strength.
At that moment, the bedroom door opened.
Su Xiaocheng turned her head to look.
“Oh, Xiaocheng, you’re awake.”
The blonde girl, now wearing cozy loungewear and looking radiant and energetic, carefully carried a bowl of lily and lotus seed porridge.
“I’m Lu Yinxi. You can just call me Xiaolu. I’m a magical girl from Anning City. I only got back last night, but it looks like you already took care of the witch disaster.”
Vaguely recalling what happened last night, Su Xiaocheng buried her head under the blanket, feeling her face grow hot.
This is all the magical girl contract’s fault.
“Come on, eat something.
You worked so hard last night. You need to eat,” Lu Yinxi said, placing the bowl beside the bed and gently patting the blanket.
Su Xiaocheng slowly poked her head out—mainly because she was genuinely hungry. No other reason.
Lu Yinxi scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and tested the temperature herself.
“You don’t have to do that. I’m not a child,” Su Xiaocheng said, thinking Lu Yinxi was being overly careful. But she soon realized she had completely misunderstood.
Lu Yinxi opened her mouth, took the spoonful of porridge in, smiled with her eyes, and slowly leaned forward.
“?”
“Mmm~”
Lu Yinxi licked away a grain of rice from the corner of Su Xiaocheng’s mouth and asked, “Is it good?”
“So… so soft.” Su Xiaocheng (dizzy eyes.jpg)
“If you like it, eat more~”
***
It took half an hour to finish one bowl of porridge. If Lu Yinxi hadn’t constantly used magic to keep the porridge warm, it would have gone cold long ago.
According to a certain deer-eared girl later, Su Xiaocheng insisted this was not her intention at all—she simply had no strength left and could only let the bad woman do as she pleased.
“Meow~”
Xiaotuan appeared at the bedroom door with a somewhat resentful expression, carrying a small cat-face bag.
“You’re still complaining?”
The lark—Lu Yinxi’s contractor—brought over a bag of dried fish and tossed it to Xiaotuan.
“If you have nothing to do, go outside. Don’t disturb them.”
Xiaotuan silently left, its steps noticeably lighter.
Su Xiaocheng thought to herself: Maybe I should buy more dried fish for it in the future. I should have money now…
Lu Yinxi smiled sweetly and picked up a brand-new academy-style hooded dress that had been placed by the bed.
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she asked, “Xiaocheng, do you want to get up first, or rest a little longer?”
For a moment, Su Xiaocheng wasn’t sure whether Lu Yinxi wanted her to get up or stay in bed.
However, thinking about her still slightly sore waist, Su Xiaocheng decided it was better to get up now.
Otherwise, she might not get another chance later.
