"Hello, Classmate Qiu Li'er."

"What's wrong... Do you need my cooperation for treatment?"

"No, it's nothing."

The female doctor nodded slightly with a smile. "You're cleared for discharge."

"Huh?"

Nan Shi and Yuenina behind her voiced their confusion.

"How can she be discharged so soon? Little Fox has amnesia!"

"Yeah! At least try spirit magic healing..."

The doctor waved a hand, silencing them gently. "Her surviving at all is a miracle. Let her go home and recuperate peacefully for now."

*Recuperate? So... I can leave? Yes!*

"But... what about my memory?" Qiu Li'er asked with feigned concern.

"Memory? No worries. Amnesia’s minor. Many regain memories within a month," the doctor smiled. "If not, come back then."

"Okay..."

"As for studies—you’d only been enrolled a month before the coma. Barely any coursework missed. These kind roommates will help you catch up."

"Mmm..."

*So we’ve only known each other a month? Easier to get along, then.*

Qiu Li'er swished her tail and bowed lightly to Nan Shi and Yuenina. "I’ll leave it to you two~"

"Eh, no need! Just let me pet you twice after we get back~"

"Little Fox, ignore her. She’s just after your tail."

With the doctor’s approval, Qiu Li'er was discharged and walked off with Nan Shi and Yuenina.

Watching the three girls depart side by side, the doctor crossed her legs, expression thoughtful.

"More puzzling than the amnesia... is how she survived those injuries. Impossible."

"Looks like close observation is necessary..."

...

Lilith Academy stood as a continent-renowned institution. Founded five centuries ago by the great mage Lilith, it pursued excellence in money, power, fame, justice, wisdom, and strength—cultivating countless talents for the world.

Despite "Royal" in its name, enrollment held no barriers. Pass the entrance exam, prove your potential, and you’re in.

Yet even here, slackers existed—like Qiu Li'er, currently laser-focused on slacking off.

"So, Little Fox, you’re a freshman too—just like us, enrolled a month ago," Yuenina explained.

Trailing behind them, Qiu Li'er gazed curiously at the campus.

Some buildings echoed Western medieval styles; others resembled modern high-rises from her past life. Magic thrived here, yet technology seemed advanced too—maybe even online gaming was possible.

...Though, this body was *way* too short.

All sixteen, Nan Shi neared 170cm; Qiu Li'er barely topped 150cm; Yuenina sat neatly at 160cm. Side by side, they formed a perfect height staircase.

As for bust size? Qiu Li'er didn’t dwell on it. Hers was just *slightly* smaller than Nan Shi’s.

Yes—*just* a tiny bit. Despite being so much shorter, she carried an unfairly generous chest...

Ugh. Being a girl was exhausting. Macho guys had it easy.

*What’re you staring at? Keep looking and I’ll flatten you!*

—She *wanted* to snap that. But she wasn’t that macho guy anymore.

No—she’d lost both the "macho" *and* the "guy."

Now? Just a little fox girl. Time to be a good student.

"Um... why do people keep looking at me strangely?" Qiu Li'er murmured, tail swaying uneasily.

"Strangely?" Yuenina tilted her head. "Humans make up 80% of the academy. A fox girl like you, Little Fox, is rare. Curiosity’s normal."

Nan Shi pointed at herself. "Yuenina and I are human too."

"Oh~"

*Of course!* Being the center of attention was her privilege! Debut here, build a fanbase, live off cuteness—easy money while lying down!

Just imagine fans chanting "Qiu Li'er!"... *Eep*, kinda shy.

Her tail swayed happily behind her.

(Unbeknownst to her, fans would only shout two words: "Wife.")

"The real reason? Little Fox is just *so* cute~" Nan Shi leaned in, eyes locked on the swaying tail. Heart itching, she reached out and grabbed it.

"Eep! Ah! Ah! N-no—don’t touch there... Sob... Gently..."

"Nan Shi, let go! That spot’s super sensitive for Little Fox!"

"But the texture’s *amazing*! Yuenina, try it too?"

...

Thirty minutes later, Qiu Li'er lay sprawled on her dorm bed, tears of the weak streaming down.

"Whimper... Why’s this body so sensitive..."

Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic. As a fox girl, she was weak. That fluffy tail—like a plush balloon. Grab it, and strength vanished. Total vulnerability.

Nan Shi had petted it endlessly earlier. Thank goodness Yuenina intervened.

*Sigh.* This tail was her greatest weakness. Guard it like a national treasure!

...But how? Slap panties on it?

"Why so sensitive? And... being touched feels kinda nice. Just... tickly..."

Alone while Nan Shi and Yuenina fetched dinner, Qiu Li'er timidly placed a finger on her tail. Gently tugged the soft orange fur—

"Mew... Yip-yip~ Yip~~~"

Two delicate cries escaped before she clapped a hand over her mouth, shocked.

*So foxes sound like this?!*

"Mew~ Mew-mew~~~"

Honestly? "Meow meow meow" and "woof woof woof" flowed better.

Meh~ Fox girl cries weren’t *that* bad. Mainly ’cause tail-petting felt *so* good.

Maybe swap "petting tips" with cat girls and dog girls someday!

Qiu Li'er patted her chest with relief. "Be grateful. At least I didn’t yell ‘Da Chu xing, Chen Sheng wang!’"
