Feminization
(Bai Ziye)
After leaving the branch, he found a public restroom and transformed back into a man before returning.
However...
Something terrible happened.
I should have had some stubble because I haven't groomed myself much these past couple of days.
Although it's said to be "should have," it's still on her face now, it's just...
"It fell!"
With just a gentle wipe, the stubble was easily removed, just like the fog that condensed on A-Yao's glasses when he ate hotpot...
In the mirror above the sink, his chin was so smooth that not a single stubble could be seen. Even the black hairs that are easily left after shaving were gone, making it look as if he had never grown a beard at all.
Based on the fact that my skin had become smoother before, I could vaguely guess the rule.
As long as I become Miluno, my body in the form of the Bai Ziye will gradually become more feminine, but this has not happened before, and even after fully fusing with the Star Crystal, there seems to be no obvious change.
"That potion heals wounds by rapidly accelerating metabolism... Yin Wei did mention that it had side effects."
Although I don't quite understand the workings of the potion, perhaps the estrogen produced by Miluno's body also affected me in my Bai Ziye state?
So, if we maintain the state of Bai Ziye for a long time, it will recover?
Damn it, I can only ask Yin Wei to subtly probe the issue.
However, the effects of that Prototype Potion were indeed amazing, especially for skin wounds. The wounds would heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye and almost disgustingly fast, and eventually no scars would be left. Ignoring the side effects, it was indeed a perfect healing potion, even somewhat like a health potion in a game. If you drank it and went into battle, it could indeed heal some minor wounds in battle.
Although the recovery process is a bit itchy.
I dialed the number.
The other end asked bluntly, "Miluno, or Bai Ziye?"
"Bai Ziye."
"Your voice sounds a bit strange, like a neutered Doggy."
"Are you looking for trouble? I'd like to ask you what's going on here!"
"Huh? Looks like something happened?"
I told her about the changes in my body and my speculations about the matter.
"Hmm, I think your guess is correct. Magical potions are for magical girls, and in most people's minds, magical girls are all female. Perhaps Barbara added ingredients that can stimulate estrogen production when she was making the potions, which would make the magical girls' skin smoother after their metabolism..."
Does this mean it also comes with cosmetic and hair removal benefits?
I said urgently, "Then you have to think of something! If this keeps up, I won't be able to see Ceruno..."
"I'll go ask for you."
I cautioned, "Whatever you do, don't reveal that I'm a man."
"Strange, it's been five days already, why hasn't the medicine Past yet?"
Yin Wei muttered to herself as she hung up the phone.
She didn't seem to know much about potions either.
The stubble actually makes me look much cleaner, but it also makes me look more feminine. Even though I'm wearing men's clothes and standing in the men's restroom, people who come in always give me a second glance...
Tsk, I can't transform for a while.
Although SpiCa requested everyone to patrol the city so as to get to the scene as soon as possible, Skyreach City is so big that there is very little that can be done by just over twenty magical girls.
Besides, without the means to distinguish between Special Monster, we wouldn't recognize them even if we brushed past them on the street!
"I'm back."
Although that's what they said, no one was home.
Aunt Yuehan and Ceruno were both called by SpiCa to do experiments; Falcon and Heat Haze were looking for suitable part-time jobs on the job posting board in front of the subway station.
At this moment, only the Golden was waiting for me at home.
"Woof~"
"Hey! Goldie, look what I bought for you!"
Original cut steak.
Although it's the same quality you can buy in a supermarket, it's still a high price of 188 yuan originally, and 79 yuan after the discount... At least it's a high price for me. If Sirius hadn't given me some living expenses, I really wouldn't have been willing to buy it.
"Woof!!"
The Doggy propped itself up and waved its paws at me.
"So, should I chop it into minced meat and make it into a hamburger patty, or do you want to eat it whole, bone and all?"
It brought its own bowl and dropped it in front of me.
"Hmph, are you asking me to hand you the whole piece of meat?"
"Woof!"
It can not only understand what I say, but I can also hear affirmation in its calls.
So smart, so smart, no wonder it's Doggy worth four hundred thousand US dollars.
I couldn't resist rubbing the head of the Golden's blond fur; it felt wonderful to the touch.
"Didn't you want to lose weight? This was originally bought for you, so there's no need to rush. I'll cut it in half and put it in the fridge. Eat half today, and the other half tomorrow. In the end, it's all yours, okay?"
"Woof!"
"You seem to have a really good relationship with the Golden?"
An unexpected sound.
From Sirius, which appeared in the house at some unknown time.
"Wait, what are you doing here?"
They must have climbed in through the living room balcony window.
"Don't be so surprised~ SpiCa is using Ceruno- chan for human experiments, and I couldn't bear to watch, so I came out on patrol."
"Isn't this illegal trespassing?! And what kind of human experimentation is this?!"
"Calm down, I'm here because I need you to do something for me."
I thought for a moment and asked, "Is it something that the Association... or SpiCa can't know?"
"That guy Liu can be of help with this."
"That stupid wolf?"
"Special Monster are Monster, and there's no reason why his dog-like nose wouldn't be able to smell the scent of Monster, of his own kind, of the Other Side."
That guy did say he had a very good nose.
"If you ask me where he is, I can tell you, he's under the bridge at the intersection of D3 District..."
Sirius extended his index finger and pressed it against my lips.
Although her appearance was merely a facade, it was soft and delicate, and even carried a pleasant perfume scent.
I wiped my mouth and backed away, while Sirius smiled with his eyes half-closed.
"The information you provided is outdated. I know where he is, but I'm being watched by SpiCa and it's inconvenient for me to see him right now. Go and bring him out, then search the area where the 'Empty Wormhole' occurred... I'll give you a cash bonus after you're done."
Red envelope?!
Ding-dong, a special mission has been triggered:
Sirius's request.
Go to the designated location to pick up a sniffer dog?
Although the red envelopes are tempting, I just decided not to transform myself for the next few days, so I'm somewhat resistant to this task... It's like someone determined to lose weight suddenly encountering a free Wagyu beef buffet.
"No, do I really have to convey this verbally? Didn't you give him a phone? Why not Past call him and get him to take action? In the end, you could have just had Miss Yin Wei handle this task, right?"
What role do I play in this mission?
It seems redundant.
Sirius shook his head, pointing at me like Uncle Sam in a recruitment ad.
"No, it has to be you."
"It has to be me?"
"You're not just dealing with Liu, but also with someone who will only obey if you step in."
I don't understand what Sirius refers to.
"Who else?"
Sirius laughed, "Well, just an unlucky guy whose life you saved."
