In the pitch-black night where not even a hand was visible, Qiu Li’er struggled to find her way out.

So dark… Where am I…

As she walked, a strange, alluring fragrance drifted to her nose—refreshing as freshly drawn milk.

Suddenly, she bumped into something round, thick, and springy. Soft as cotton candy.

So fragrant… such a wonderful texture…

This must be the most perfect thing in the world. No matter the worry, just one touch made everything vanish.

A voice in her mind urged her closer to the soft, milky-sweet warmth.

Slowly, Qiu Li’er placed both hands on it and gave a gentle squeeze…

"Mmm~ ❤"

A tantalizing sigh reached her ears—undeniably the perfect response.

Still asleep, Qiu Li’er instinctively squeezed again.

"Mmm… Haa… Little Fox, be gentler~"

L-Little Fox?!

Qiu Li’er jolted awake. She tried to sit up—but the sight before her made her wish to vanish back into sleep.

Nan Shi sat with head bowed, her full chest rising and falling rhythmically. A soft, fragrant breath escaped her lips; flushed cheeks and glistening eyes spoke silent confusion and hurt.

Qiu Li’er was nestled against her, tiny head nearly buried in Nan Shi’s chest, small hands resting beside her head—school uniform wrinkled unmistakably beneath her fingers.

Yuenina stood silently by the bed, untouched by the scene. The dorm fell into heavy silence.

"Eeek———— I’m so sorry!! Miss Nan Shi, I’m so sorry!!!"

Qiu Li’er scrambled up and prostrated herself. Yet the fluffy tail swaying wildly behind her betrayed her flustered heart.

"It’s fine, really. Feels kinda nice, actually," Nan Shi murmured, gently pressing her heaving chest, breath still warm. "You said you had amnesia… so why so skilled?"

"Ah… I… it was an accident…"

Qiu Li’er’s head spun. She’d only chased a dreamy comfort—how did it become *this*?

*Instinct? Maternal? They’ll call me a pervert!*

As she stammered, Yuenina turned away with a sigh. "Alas… morals truly are fading…"

*Snap!*

No… Her fox-girl life had just begun—and her reputation was already crumbling.

Eyes squeezed shut in shame, one truth crystallized: the world’s most perfect thing was a beautiful girl’s soft, cotton-candy chest.

"Shh, Little Fox~ Just teasing. We know you didn’t mean it." Nan Shi chuckled, lifting her gently.

"Thank you…"

"Don’t thank me." A sly smile played on Nan Shi’s lips. "Just let me pet your tail more often. Brush it sometimes~ We’ll call it even."

"…Okay."

Qiu Li’er learned she’d only slept an hour. Dinner remained warm—perfect for sharing.

"This is… rabbit meat?" She peered at the bowl, puzzled.

"Yep! Your favorite. You’d rush to the cafeteria for it daily," Nan Shi said.

Qiu Li’er froze.

True—foxes eating rabbits was universal lore…

But rabbit had never been on *her* menu.

"Bunnies are too cute to eat," she murmured, pushing the saucy chunks aside. "I won’t eat it anymore."

*Clatter!*

Yuenina’s fork hit the floor.

"Little Fox… are you sick? Anorexia?"

"Could amnesia erase food habits too?" Nan Shi reached for her forehead.

Qiu Li’er dodged with a playful tongue-out. "Not sick! Just… tired of rabbit. Time to try new flavors."

Nan Shi and Yuenina exchanged glances. "Alright. Tomorrow, we’ll explore campus eats with you."

Coconut Sheep coconut juice, char-grilled chick, Ogre Hot Pot… endless delicacies awaited.

"No, no…" Qiu Li’er shook her head. "I want to *cook* them myself."

"Huh?!"

Both girls stared. "Little Fox… you *can* cook?!"

"Uh… not yet. But with amnesia, I’ll relearn!"

Their synchronized shock made her flinch. "W-What? Was I… bad at it before?"

*Did my predecessor make "Stargazy Pie" and scar them for life?!*

"Not bad," Yuenina said softly, eyes unreadable. "Just… you feel stronger now."

"Mhm," Nan Shi added. "Old you set her tail on fire casting a fireball."

*Huh?! How useless was she?!*

"Don’t worry," Qiu Li’er declared, patting her chest confidently. "I’ll show you *real* deliciousness."

Before magic—Chinese cuisine would rise.

Heartened, the three finished dinner, tidied up, and settled into dorm life.

Lilith Academy assigned little homework. No frantic scribbling here.

Yuenina read quietly on her bed; Nan Shi stretched against the wall. *This… is girls' dorm bliss. I love it.*

Noticing their free time, Qiu Li’er cleared her throat. "Um… I need your help with something."

Yuenina looked up, surprised. "Your memory returning?"

"On your period? I’ll get hot water," Nan Shi offered kindly.

Recalling the mysterious voice’s warning, Qiu Li’er took a breath.

"Even with amnesia… my gut says my coma wasn’t an accident. There’s something hidden…"

"Will you help me investigate?"
