Started a war with my daughter.

Luo Zining turned into a war goddess, raging with fury and charging in like a mad beast.

But ever since Luo You adopted her, she hadn’t won once.

Just like always, it only took a few moves before she was pinned to the floor, neck under pressure, legs kicking wildly behind her—and missing every time.

“You have nothing to say for yourself?”
Luo You’s voice was low and cold.

“What do you think?”

Luo Zining glared back at him icily.

Gone was the usual routine of “Daddy, Daddy, I love you” → “I love your ass, asshole.”
All that remained was a cold, implacable defiance.

Knowing her as well as he did, Luo You could tell—this time she was serious.

But he’d mentally prepared for this outcome already.

“……Forget it.”

Luo You let go and pulled out his phone to make a transfer.

“Sold all your crap for six… hundred yuan. Do what you want with it.”

A villain indeed—even capitalist tycoons would weep at this level of markup.

“WHAT—!”

Hearing her collection—worth over thirty thousand—had only fetched 600 yuan, another mental string in Luo Zining’s brain snapped.

She burst out laughing in rage, every word dripping with venom.

“You’ve spent these past few years focused only on your gym rat lifestyle and barely even looked after me, and now you wanna put on the act of being a decent father?”

“It’s not an act. I am your father.”

“Father? At this point, I bet you know your gym equipment better than you know me. And you call that a father?”

Luo You calmly straightened his ruffled collar.

“You went too far. If you hadn’t gone around spreading lies about me, I wouldn’t have interfered.”

“What was I supposed to do? With your face, it was begging to be painted as gay!”

“You wanna go there? Alright, let’s settle this properly!”
Luo You pointed a finger at her nose and roared,

“I don’t even care how rotten your tastes are, but explain to me why every damn one of your BL stories is father-son themed! What the hell?!”

WHA—!

A critical secret exposed—Luo Zining flushed red, breathing hard.

“I-I can’t help it! Everyone around you is either a young stud or a silver fox! Not a single woman! How am I not supposed to imagine things?!”

“I WORK IN A GYM. What do you expect, a harem of fair maidens?!”

“And your phone is full of beefy men photos!”

“AGAIN—I WORK IN A GYM! I need those for reference!”

“You were a total twig three years ago, and now you’re a muscle hunk. It’s gotta be all that gay exposure!”

“LISTEN, DAMMIT—I TRAIN CLIENTS! Gaining muscle is normal! And I’m not some over-pumped meat truck, I’ve got a lean, athletic build—just like an athlete!”

Luo You was certain his body was solidly in “hot guy” territory.

Maybe people would say, “Wow! What a man!”

But definitely not, “Damn, that guy’s for the gays.”

But Luo Zining’s smirk only deepened.

“With a body like that, any girl would be all over you. Yet here you are, still single. And you still wanna say you’re not gay?”

“I—! I’ve got my reasons!”

Luo You’s voice noticeably faltered.

“If you’d just get me a mom already, I’d stop using you as my fantasy fuel. I mean, I wouldn’t even mind if she were a guy mom~”

“You little brat!! How many times do I have to tell you—don’t use me as fantasy material!—Wait. Ohhh~~”

Luo You froze mid-sentence, realization dawning like a light bulb in a cartoon bear’s head.

So that’s what it was.

Zining wasn’t obsessed with BL for no reason—she just wanted him to find a partner.

When you’re in a single-parent household, people always ask about the missing parent. It could lead to insecurity.

Ah… He had misjudged her.

Luo You’s expression softened.

Heh. What a tsundere little daughter.

If you want a mom, just say so—

…Though, not like he’d actually listen.

Finding a girlfriend?

That ship sailed the moment he chose to leave behind the life of hunting magical girls.

Even if he were to consider dating, it’d have to be another magical girl.

Ordinary women? Couldn’t even hold his attention anymore.

“Ahem. Let’s put that matter aside for now. I’ll say it again: I believe in laissez-faire parenting. I hope you can understand that.

After all, I became a father after skipping the whole ‘get married and have kids’ part.

Don’t expect too much from me.”

With that, Luo You turned to leave.

She needed some space to cool down.

“Tonight… make sure you come back.”

That soft, pleading voice rang behind him.

Luo You smiled gently.

Yare yare~~ What an uncooperative little girl.

“I got it.”

Once the door shut and Luo You had left, Luo Zining’s expression instantly twisted into something feral.

“Ha! You bastard—tomorrow, you’re dead meat!”

That sob story about missing maternal love?

Total smokescreen.

Just a ploy to lower Luo You’s guard!

This was a grudge carved into her very soul!

She didn’t understand how this old man’s body could be so ridiculously durable.

Every time she tried to go head-to-head with him, she ended up eating dirt.

And she was a magical girl!

Even without transforming, her physical strength was way above normal!

If brute force didn’t work—she’d use deception.

Luo Zining pulled out the container holding the Divine Particles.

“One night with these babies, and it’s a guaranteed two-cup size boost. If it works on women, it should work on men too… right?”

Hehehehehe…

You love that muscled body of yours, don’t you?

Wait till you wake up tomorrow with those bulging pecs turned into sad, flat pancakes.

Let’s see how you like that.

But just as she was about to act—Luo Zining hesitated.

This wasn’t some prank.

Divine Particles were an unknown, dangerous substance.

A wrong move could lead to serious consequences.

She just wanted to teach him a lesson, not cause real harm.

…Maybe I should just—

Knock knock.

“Mr. Luo You? Sorry to bother you—this is the mover from earlier. I forgot to mention that we’ve got a raffle going on!

For every ¥5000 spent, you get one chance to draw.

You just sold over ¥6000’s worth, so you qualify! Just enter my employee number—9527—on our official site.

And if you win something, please consider leaving a good review!”

“…”

Whatever else the deliveryman said, Luo Zining didn’t hear a word.

She was staring at the Divine Particle container, eyes sharp and dangerous.

“Just a little bit… won’t hurt, right?”

7:16 PM. Luo You returned.

“Zining should’ve cooled down by now… right?”

Even he didn’t believe that.

That grudge-holding gremlin was probably planning something heinous as they spoke.

“…She’s out?”

Luo You glanced at the hallway.

Her slippers were flung in opposite directions—classic tantrum throw.

“Oh? She made me dinner?”

At the table, a meal sat covered, clearly left out for a while.

There was even a note stuck to the lid.

[If you want, go ahead and eat. It’s not like I made it because I want to make up with you or anything, idiot.]

“Yuck! Forcing tsundere lines like this is disgusting.”

Luo You grimaced but quietly reheated the meal, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and sat down.

He knew full well there was probably laxatives or some other questionable additive in there.

But if a few days of diarrhea could make her forgive him…

Then so be it.

He’d eat it.

And come tomorrow, act like nothing happened.

A little stomach pain was nothing.

After all, he was a gym coach and a real man!

He could handle it.

[After Dinner]

Luo You sat silently in the living room for over two hours.

Once he confirmed there were no sedatives or knockout drugs in the food, he decided to head to bed.

“She probably won’t come home before midnight anyway.”

He checked the clock—already 10 PM.

Took a shower, entered his room, locked the door, barricaded it with a dresser, and even set up a bell trap.

All to avoid whatever retaliatory prank Zining was scheming.

Once all that was done, he climbed under the covers.

And knocked out immediately.

Next morning…

“Mm… mmm… it’s a little cold… Did the AC get turned down?”

From under the blankets, a fluffy ball of silver hair emerged.

A soft, pale hand groped for the remote, switched off the AC, then pushed the blanket aside and got out of bed.

“Ugh… a little dizzy…”

The figure walked out into the hall, unaware of the stunned expression on the girl eating breakfast at the table.

“D-Dad?”

“Hm? What’s wrong? Quit dawdling and get to schoo—”

“Wait, that is Dad?!”

“What are you even talking about? You probably passed out from too much BL gaming last ni—uh?”

It took Luo You several moments to register the absurd change in her voice.

She slowly lowered her head…

And saw two pale, delicate hands that didn’t look like they could unscrew a bottle cap.

Silver hair draped across her arms, smoother than the finest silk.

Luo Zining stared at her side profile, shellshocked.

That face—refined, flawless—looked like it came straight out of anime.

Especially those red eyes, like blooddrops in snow.

Demonic yet beautiful.

Cold yet alluring.

Two contrasting traits perfectly fused.

And under that oversized male shirt, smooth, porcelain legs peeked out.

Barefoot, slender, and delicately arched—like some forbidden dessert…

Wait, no! No, no, no!

“Hold up, didn’t your muscles, like… over-shrink or something?”

Luo Zining couldn’t help but blurt out.

I only used less than 1% of the particles!

How the hell did my swole, gay-as-hell dad do a full gender swap?!

Even his bones shrank!

“Uhh…”

Luo You was speechless.

What the hell just happened?!

She dashed into the bathroom.

Pulled out a knife and slashed clean across her artery—

The wound opened…

But no blood came out.

As if some unseen force was keeping it inside.

“Holy shit! I’m back to square one!”

Moments later, Luo You walked out of the bathroom.

She looked Luo Zining dead in the eyes.

“I’m not your dad.

I’m your dad’s new girlfriend. You believe me?”

“…Please. If my dad could pull a girlfriend this tiny, I’d hand-deliver him to jail myself.”
