“I feel like I’m overlooking something. Why did I turn into a loli—and why did I turn into two lolis? I still have no idea what caused it.”
It might’ve taken her a while, but Ye Lan finally spotted the blind spot.
It reminded her of what she’d said before going to sleep last night.
She seemed to have said she wanted to become a loli, and then she woke up the next morning and had turned into one.
Then she’d said she wanted a soft, warm body pillow, and Yexing had come into existence.
“So those random wishes really can come true!? But seriously, how does this even work?”
Once she realized what had started all this, Ye Lan was at a loss for words.
“Is it too late to wish for a whole lot of money?”
Nothing happened. No matter how many times she tried, it didn’t work.
Ye Lan had no choice but to give up.
She stretched. In the sunlight streaming through the window, her petite body looked incredibly slender, and the movement was just like a little cat stretching.
Her loose top had slipped down and caught at the base of her shoulder, revealing skin that was fair with a rosy tint, smooth and glistening.
Yexing stared, dumbfounded, at the movement she’d made without even realizing it.
"Wow~ So lewd."
Ye Lan looked at Yexing, her gaze lingering on those equally sly, old-fox-like shoulders, and a faint blush crept across her cheeks.
"What are you looking at? You're just as lewd!"
Well, both bodies were her own, so playing around like this was quite a novel experience.
Ye Lan wanted to find something to wear, but she didn’t have anything suitable. How could a man who’d lived alone have clothes for a little girl?
So she’d just have to make do for now.
Going out right now didn’t seem like a good idea. She’d order a few outfits online and wear those for the time being.
But before ordering anything, she needed to get the measurements of her current body. That would make things easier.
Luckily, they had a scale at home.
“Hmm… 143 centimeters tall, and a little over thirty kilos. Seems okay, though I’m kind of skinny.”
Ye Lan, her face flushed, touched her chest. It was soft, without much of a curve—just a pair of A-cups that couldn't beat anything.
Maybe she weighed so little because she didn’t have that extra fat.
Yexing watched Ye Lan's actions, looking as if he wanted to say something but held back.
"You were originally male, after all. Is it really okay for you to be touching a girl's chest so nonchalantly?"
"I'm adapting, adapting."
"Old pervert."
"I'm not old."
They were technically the same person, but playing both roles to this extent was pretty unbelievable in its own way.
She was always talking to herself, always acting, always trying to comfort herself.
She knew herself better than anyone and knew exactly what to say to make herself feel better.
Putting aside the fact that she’d turned into a loli, there were some things to like about it.
“By the way, is it really okay to just accept who we are now?”
“What else can I do…? I was never going to find a girlfriend in this life anyway. My social life is a complete disaster. If being a loli means life’ll be a little easier, what’s wrong with accepting reality…?”
Ye Lan crouched in the corner, drawing circles on the floor. She was slowly coming to terms with it.
“A little easier… You mean quitting your job and staying home until you die?”
“Waaah! Don’t say something so cruelly true! I was deliberately trying not to talk about that!”
Ye Lan let out a cute little cry, looking utterly defeated by reality.
Yexing fell silent, deep in thought.
“Hmm… Sometimes I wonder, was I really that much of a drama queen?”
“For real.”
A little while later…
Their takeout arrived.
Ye Lan and Yexing ate identical takeout meals and kept talking about what had happened the day before.
“If the things we said before going to sleep last night came true, does that mean every part of those wishes came true?”
Ye Lan chewed her food, her puffed-out cheeks making her look like an adorable hamster storing snacks.
“I dunno~ Probably?”
For example, she’d wanted to become a loli, and then she had—plus one extra, free of charge.
And she’d wanted a soft, warm body pillow, only to find out that the pillow was actually herself.
It was completely ridiculous.
Now, let’s repeat exactly what she’d said.
“It might be nice to become a carefree little loli. But if some creep took an interest in me and groomed me into a helpless little plush toy, I’d be done for. I need some way to protect myself. I don’t need to be unbeatable in a fight—just fast enough to run away when I’m in danger.”
“I wish I had a soft body pillow that could keep me warm.”
The first half of the first wish and the second wish had already come true.
What about the second half of the first wish?
Ye Lan extended her calf and rested it against Yexing's, feeling a tender, smooth, and soft touch.
“Hmm~”
Yexing rubbed her smooth chin and said, “Does that mean we can run super fast now? Faster than national-level runners?”
“I don’t know. Maybe.”
Ye Lan’s eyes lit up. “Why don’t we try it!?”
Yexing thought it over for a moment.
“Never mind. We don’t have enough room to try it at home, and I don’t feel like going outside right now. Let’s wait until our online orders arrive, then try going out.”
“Okay~”
The room fell quiet after that, with only the sound of the two of them eating lunch.
"How about... we take a bath later?"
"Taking a bath in broad daylight... I guess you're pretty curious about your current body, huh? Pervert."
“How can you insult yourself like that!?”
“It makes it feel more like there are two of us!”
“Ugh~” ×2
Ye Lan and Yexing both clutched their heads at the same time. Their brains hurt.
Regardless, the two of them ended up going to take a bath after all; in the end, they just couldn't resist their curiosity about a girl's body~
Then, a strange sound came from the bathroom.
"Mm~ This spot is a little itchy."
"Wow~ Looking closely now, our bodies are actually quite petite."
"Mm... Is this a girls' secret garden? So smooth."
"Wait, why is everyone getting nosebleeds?! This totally ruins the image of an LSP!"
"It's just internal heat..."
"Yes, this is internal heat."
……
A week went by.
Her final paycheck after leaving her job had come through, and the clothes she’d ordered online had arrived.
Ye Lan and Yexing were now living a lazy life: gaming together during the day and cuddling up to sleep at night.
They had to admit, life was pretty easy.
But it was hard to say how long they could keep living like this.
Ye Lan looked at her balance, which still hadn’t reached five digits, and wore a troubled expression.
“I really do need to find a proper source of income. Otherwise, I’ll have to latch onto some rich woman…”
Finding a rich woman might be a little embarrassing, but it didn’t sound like a bad deal.
As she thought it over, Ye Lan gradually made up her mind, and her gaze grew more determined.
“I’ve decided. I’m going out right now.”
Either to find a beautiful, rich woman, or to try her luck and see if she could find a job that would support them both.
That was the plan!
Ye Lan put on the clothes she’d ordered online and bundled herself up from head to toe, even though the weather wasn’t that hot. She didn’t look cute at all.
Good. That was exactly the effect she wanted!
“All right, fully geared up!”
Ye Lan didn’t want to take her other body with her this time.
They were both her, after all, so there was no point bringing Yexing along. She might as well stay home and watch the place.
Ye Lan looked at Yexing on the sofa, eating chips and watching anime. She let out a breath, then stepped out the door, her heart full of nerves.
Her new life began.
