Chapter Five: It’s Just Like Pulling a History Lesson on the Street
Although she had escaped a disaster, Sumu’s inner questions only seemed to pile up more and more.
And now, the only one suitable to answer all of this was Gray Bunny.
L had noticed that Sumu’s gaze lingered on her, which made her feel a bit uneasy.
“What are you looking at?”
“Uh, I was thinking about my phone.”
L blinked, took Sumu’s phone in her hand and weighed it before tossing it to Sumu, who fumbled to catch it and sighed in relief after confirming that the phone was undamaged.
To be honest, she was quite worried that L might break her phone, especially since just now she had only flicked her finger and shattered glass.
It can only be said that as a magical girl, she could hide such terrifying power in that petite body.
As she sighed, Sumu had already opened Gray Bunny’s private message.
At this moment, she saw a few messages that had arrived a bit late.
“Oh, I forgot to mention, the magical girl’s transformation device isn’t used the way it’s shown on television; there’s a manual at the bottom of the box, remember to read it.”
“They should arrive in about two minutes. Good luck, and make sure to survive completely from little L’s hands.”
The time of the message was clearly marked a minute ago, but at that time, Sumu had already been cornered by L in the bathroom.
It was tough, her fists were tough.
“L dismantled my home’s security door two minutes ago. Do you have any clues?”
“And there’s also mental sarcasm. It seems the progress of things is going smoothly.”
That horrible guy!
“Don’t change the subject! It’s clearly you who opened the box for me, so take responsibility!”
“Hoh, do you want me to be responsible to the end? If you agree, you can’t go back on your word.”
Watching the familiar wording from the other side, an image of a scheming smile with narrowed eyes uncontrollably surfaced in Sumu’s mind, causing her to shudder.
“Forget it.”
“That’s too bad, Irina classmate, I was looking forward to spending time with you.”
If possible, Sumu really wanted to bite the guy on the other side of the screen.
“So why did you target me? Is it just because I cross-dressed as a magical girl?”
After hesitating, Sumu finally asked her most puzzled question.
If that was the only reason, it certainly didn’t make sense, after all, there were many pretending to be magical girls online; such things were already commonplace.
“Cross-dressed? Please, you are now an authentic magical girl.”
L, who had only interacted with Sumu for a few minutes, seemed to be convinced of this fact, but Sumu still felt confused.
She still had that star-shaped emblem tucked in her arms.
Now it completely lost its uniqueness, just a finely crafted pebble, no longer emitting any luster, unable to squeeze out the warm white light from before.
Like a drained battery.
But her only change was probably her gender; aside from two extra lumps, there didn’t seem to be much different.
“In any case, come over first, let me check your body well, and we can talk about the other things later.”
Check my body?
Seeing that word, Sumu instinctively wrapped her thin nightgown tighter around herself, the fabric rubbing against her sensitive chest made her blush suddenly, and that’s when she noticed something very serious.
Her upper body was now in a state of complete exposure!
“What are you looking at?”
L suddenly leaned close from the side, forcing Sumu to hurriedly turn off the screen, staring into L’s light purple eyes at an extremely awkward distance.
“Prepare to leave, change your clothes.”
Fortunately, L didn’t have any extra thoughts, she just said that mildly and walked out, leaving Sumu in the bathroom, feeling at a loss.
Her current appearance was rather too casual.
She was wearing a long-sleeved nightgown on her upper body, and the buttons could barely hold the split edges of the two pieces of fabric together, while the scenery spilling out between the gaps could be considered quite alluring.
Most importantly, the protruding details were quite noticeable and shaking a lot.
Fortunately, Sumu had not sat up straight, so these anomalies had not been noticed; otherwise, she would definitely have been suspected.
So, having become a magical girl, why was there no battle suit?
Thinking carefully, it seemed L was only wearing a hoodie, yet she could still easily release her powers.
“Sister Rabbit, since I’ve become a magical girl, why hasn’t my outfit changed?”
“What kind of change do you want?”
“At least a piece of clothing that could adequately cover everything!”
“Don’t you have any clothes?”
As if deliberately tormenting Sumu, Gray Bunny’s reply was really infuriating.
“Sis, a normal single male’s home shouldn’t have women’s underwear, but I really need something like that right now.”
The other side sent a look of realization, but the next sentence made Sumu spit out a mouthful of blood.
“I thought you might have some.”
How big of a prejudice does she have against me!
“Alright, I’m not teasing you anymore; similar introductions are all in the manual, just read them yourself.”
After getting the exact information, Sumu peeked outside, then crossed her arms and walked through the hallway.
Her bothersome pink hair was perfectly splayed, covering most of the view, and no flaws were detected.
After locking the door in the bedroom, Sumu’s gaze fell on the gift box that was still in place.
A mini paper note, similar to a medicine manual, had been carelessly shoved into a corner of the paper seam. Sumu pulled it out and saw the first line of bold text:
“Magic Power Storage Device (For Combat) Manual”
Why does it feel like some sort of assembly line product…
The fonts printed on it were tiny, causing her eyes to blur, and Sumu couldn’t help but suspect if this was also part of that rabbit’s bad taste.
Fortunately, with a lot of surfing experience, her reading ability was quite good, and she quickly found the content about the battle suit.
“This device provides a standardized battle suit, and a personalized plan can be downloaded as an alternative. The user just needs to channel magic power into the device and silently wish to change clothes. If the uniform is damaged during combat, it can be repaired in the same way, consuming thirty bunny magic power each time.”
The ongoing confusion was resolved; it turned out that the secret to why magical girls could keep their clothes intact during such intense battles was due to the transformation device’s built-in armor repair.
But why is this magic power unit so strange? It must be the rabbit’s doing!
Without thinking too much, Sumu squeezed the energy out of her body, channeled it into the emblem, and followed the instructions.
Moments later, under the dazed gazes of L and Miti, Sumu pushed open the bedroom door.
She appeared in a tight suit that a scrappy fighter would wear.
In fact, there was also a bunny-eared headband, but she took it off.
“Are you really going to dress like that?”
L looked astonished at the battle suit, then glanced at Sumu’s blush from extreme embarrassment and couldn’t help but ask.
“Aren’t we supposed to go to headquarters? I thought this might be a bit more formal…”
Though explaining like this, Sumu couldn’t help but feel like complaining inside.
It’s just like wearing a school uniform to a class reunion; it might not seem too conspicuous, but it would definitely become the most eye-catching one.
