Chapter 430. Misunderstanding
In the evening, Ning Chu finished typing and lay at the head of the bed, refreshing the school forum on her phone again and again.
This forum was the primary source of gossip about the school—whether it was about fights, cheating, or stolen takeout, any buzz could be found here.
Other than this, she had no other sources of information.
As for wandering around the school at night searching for the tentacle monster… she’s not crazy; what if she got caught? Those people in horror films die the fastest!
After half an hour of scrolling through the forum, there was still no news about the tentacle monster.
Even if the school was trying to suppress the news, there had to be some kind of commotion on the forum, right?
Thinking about it this way, Ning Chu felt a bit more relieved.
While in the book the tentacle monster was wreaking havoc in the school and the magical girl arrived to deal with it later, reality might have a few complications.
The bed shook slightly, and she glanced at the tall figure sitting beside her, casually saying, “Can you buy some bed sheets and duvet covers from the supermarket later?”
“This sheet is filthy, it feels so uncomfortable…”
Ning Chu was wearing home clothes, and even though the clothes were separate from the stains on the bedding, she still felt a bit put off.
“You’re the one who dirtied it, why complain?”
Her face flushed slightly as she turned her head away from Wen Yang.
A hand gently rested on her waist, and rough, hot fingers slid inside her clothes, touching her lower abdomen.
“Stop it.”
Ning Chu rarely held back Wen Yang’s exploratory hand.
Ever since their first time, she found it increasingly hard to reject Wen Yang’s enthusiasm; even when she did refuse, it felt more like a playful game of ‘hard to get.’
The body of a succubus softens with even the slightest flirtation, completely disregarding the brain’s commands.
But today, she really wasn’t in the mood.
Thoughts of whether some girl had already been harmed by the tentacle monster haunted her—it was something she had written herself, and it filled her with a deep sense of guilt.
The worry in the little demoness’s expression made Wen Yang feel both distressed and concerned; he dutifully retracted his exploring hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry too much. Isn’t there at least some news?”
“I know…”
“Then I’ll go downstairs to buy the sheets.”
“Sure, and get me a hand-grabbed pancake and milk tea while you’re at it.”
Wen Yang froze for a moment, “Didn’t you say you were full earlier? And that you wanted to diet?”
“Eh, I’m feeling down, just want to eat something…”
Ning Chu showed an unhappy expression, her tone shifting to a sweet, sulky allure that made him momentarily breathless and unable to resist.
“Alright, alright.” He shook his head helplessly, standing up and walking to the door, picking up an umbrella as he said, “I won’t take the keys, just open the door for me later.”
“Okay~”
With Wen Yang gone, the room was left with only Ning Chu’s soft breathing. She lay on her side, gazing out the window; the drumming of the rain calmed her irritation a bit. But thinking about how her clothes wouldn’t dry for the next few days made her even more annoyed.
Though she had become a girl, she only had a few sets of clothes; if not for her mother buying her a lot, she might still only have the three sets she used to have.
The forecast said this rain might last for about a week…
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Ning Chu rolled over and quickly ran to open the door, complaining, “Can you bring a key next time? Did you forget your umbrella?”
She hurried to the door and swung it open, only to be frozen in place at the sight of the girl outside.
The red-haired girl was dressed in an exceptionally revealing outfit, black stockings wrapped around her body, accentuating her youthful curves, and through the thin fabric, you could even see a little belly button.
Her skirt barely covered her thighs, and the lace-ringed thigh bands looked like lingerie, while a top barely constrained her A-cup breasts, making her outfit even more risqué than some seductive lingerie.
With a commanding presence, the girl shouted, “Surrender quietly!”
“??? ”
Ning Chu was momentarily stunned, not sure how to react, and her body stiffened, her face showing only confusion.
A magical girl?
Wasn’t this outfit more like a battle mode after a transformation?
Do magical girls have a mission to hunt succubi now?!
Outside the door, Qian Qian also looked a bit dazed, glancing at the bewildered succubus inside. She exerted force on her magical wand, but the magical power that should be unstoppable seemed ineffective against the succubus.
Both stared at each other in disbelief, and the chilly, damp air thickened with awkwardness.
“Um, do you need something?”
Ning Chu was the first to break the silence.
Qian Qian lowered her wand, a bright blush visibly creeping up her neck, face, and even her ears.
“Well, um…” She hugged the wand with both arms and shyly looked down, giving a gentle kick to the black cat beside her.
It’s all this cat’s fault! The magic isn’t working! Clearly just an ordinary person!
“You’re not a demon at all!”
The cat burst out, startling Ning Chu, who quickly took several steps back.
Holy! The cat can talk!
But my cat has turned into a cat girl now…
Thoughts flashed through her mind, and the panic quickly calmed down.
Compared to a talking cat, it was indeed more outrageous to have Hei Dou turned into a cat girl.
“It shouldn’t be…” The black cat paced around the hallway, its four paws giving an impression of an old person strolling, the voice mixing both masculine and feminine tones, “The aura of lust is obvious, both of us sensed it…”
Lust…
Ning Chu subtly turned her head away.
As a succubus, what’s wrong with being a bit lewd?
“And her soul indeed came from another world; she’s the demon that appeared half a year ago! What’s going on here?”
“You ask me, who should I ask? The magic isn’t effective; how could she possibly be a demon!”
“……”
Ning Chu’s previously blank mind slowly realized she was mistaken for a demon.
Thinking back carefully, the setup for demons is: they come from another world, inhabiting a human body… she perfectly fits the criteria!
No wonder this girl had been trailing her all day.
So, the tentacle monster was actually me?!
Looking at the cat and the girl arguing outside the door, the heavy stone weighing on Ning Chu’s heart finally dropped.
There isn’t a tentacle monster in the school at all! This magical girl was here for her!
After a few minutes of bickering, Qian Qian finally looked up, her face full of apology and embarrassment as she said, “I’m sorry for scaring you… it was all a misunderstanding.”
“What’s going on with you two?”
Wen Yang’s voice suddenly came from the hallway.
Ning Chu instantly reacted, grabbing Qian Qian’s arm and pulling her into the room while calling out, “Wait outside for a moment!”
Qian Qian stumbled as she was dragged inside, “What are you doing?”
Could she really be a demon?!
“Change your clothes! You can’t let my boyfriend see you dressed like this!”
Ning Chu, filled with jealousy, stared at Qian Qian in her tight-fitting combat outfit.
“Oh…”
