“Why the hell is this happening?!”

Luo You dropped to her knees, clutching her head, then sprawled on the floor in a wail of despair.

She hadn’t touched divine particles in seven years. Seven. Years. They should’ve gone completely dormant by now. So why—why were they suddenly active again?!

This was like being in a dangerous biological phase, having stayed pure for seven years, and then—bam!—waking up randomly pregnant.

Who the hell defiled me in my sleep?!

“Uh… Dad… can you, like, get up first? We can talk this out. If there’s a problem, we’ll solve it together, as father and daughter…”

“Huh?”

Luo You looked up.

There was her darling daughter, gently patting her on the shoulder, voice calm and mature—almost disturbingly so.

Had turning into a woman that drastically changed the tone in which her daughter addressed her?

She’d expected Zining to whip out her phone, take a million photos, plaster them all over her social feed, and laugh until she choked.

But now… was that guilt she heard in her voice? No way. Must be her imagination.

“Zining, right now you…”

“Eh?”

Luo You blinked, looking down at the hand currently reaching between her thighs. Then back up at her darling daughter, who was doing something unspeakable.

“It’s gone! It’s really gone!!”

Zining couldn’t maintain her composure any longer. She fell back hard onto the floor, stunned.

“You really didn’t even hesitate to grope down there, huh? What if I’d still had it?” Luo You blushed, hurriedly straightening her pants. She felt… violated.

“That’s not the point! Dad, you’re like this now, so you should—”

“Wait!” Luo You cut her off. “You can’t call me ‘Dad’ anymore. We need to change identities.”

Elera’s name was far too dangerous. She was hunted by both the Transcendent Organization and the Magic Alliance—hated on both sides.

Sure, she’d always kept her face hidden during her missions. Almost no one had seen what she looked like in her female form.

But better safe than sorry. From now on, it was best if Luo You “disappeared.”

“From this moment forward, I’m your dad’s girlfriend. Name’s… Luo Youyou.”

“Eh eh eh?! That name’s way too lazy!”

“Doesn’t matter. Besides, I’ve already got the perfect fake ID.”

Back when she was planning to defect from the organization, Luo You had made preparations.

While she still held power within the organization, she secretly filed dual identification.

One was her male identity, and the other—her female identity as Luo Youyou.

It wasn’t a last-minute forgery either. It had been sitting in the system for years. So even if someone got suspicious and investigated, they wouldn’t find anything unusual.

“Well… alright, I guess…”

Zining agreed with visible reluctance, but inside, she was trembling like a leaf.

I’m so dead I’m so dead I’m so dead!

If the Magic Alliance found out about this, her evaluation trial would go up in flames, and she’d probably get sanctioned too!

Seventeen years old or not, a kid knew when they’d royally screwed up.

“Anyway, just treat it like your dad went on a long vacation. Now, I, Luo Youyou, will take care of you.”

Luo You spread her arms, beaming.

“Congratulations, Zining! Didn’t you say you wanted a mom? Well now—you’re officially a child with a mom!”

“How are you so calm about this?!” Zining half-screamed, almost breaking down.

You’ve literally turned into a woman. Said goodbye to all that muscle. And you’re still this chill?!

“Adults, y’know? Seen enough storms. You get used to it.”

“No one gets used to this kind of storm!!”

Luo You quickly adjusted. This wasn’t the first day she’d ever been a girl, after all.

First priority—stick to the routine. No sudden changes. Panic would only draw more suspicion.

“These clothes don’t suit me anymore. Zining, mind if I borrow your wardrobe?”

Ignoring Zining’s half-raised protest, Luo You walked straight into her daughter’s room.

“Dad?!”

“Zining, I’ll skip the underwear. That’s your personal stuff. But you pick out a full outfit for me, alright?”

“Heh heh heh~ Dad, you don’t understand. Girls need bras or it’s super uncomfortable—”

“No worries. Your size won’t fit me anyway. Wearing it would be uncomfortable either way, so why bother.”

What?!

Zining’s next retort caught in her throat. She glanced at Luo You’s chest.

Not huge… but still far more developed than her own completely flat form.

Then she looked at her height. Luo You wasn’t even five-two—looked like a junior high girl at most.

“…”

Reality was cruel. Zining’s eyes lost their sparkle. Mechanically, she picked out a decent outfit.

“Oh, right,” Luo You added. “Make sure it matches well with thigh-highs. I’ll leave the details to you.”

“Th-thigh-highs?” Zining’s dead-fish stare flickered back to life.

“Dad, you literally just turned into a girl. Wearing thigh-highs already? That’s way too advanced! I’ll pick something else—”

“Nope. You’ll get what I asked for.”

No hidden meaning here. Luo You just genuinely liked thigh-highs.

Black ones, white ones, patterned tights, long socks, garters—she’d tried them all.

The sensation of soft fabric gliding along the inner thighs… it was utterly addictive. The first time she tried it, she was instantly hooked.

“Alright… I’ve matched the outfit. You’ve never worn skirts before, right? I’ll help—eh?! Eh eh?!”

By the time Zining had finished sorting the outfit, Luo You was already halfway dressed.

Only the bright white thigh-highs were left.

Zining quickly shut the wardrobe. “Wait, let me help with those! The material’s delicate. If you snag it, it’ll tear—”

“Hm? What did you just say?”

Luo You was already pulling up one leg of the sock.

Her pale, sock-covered foot pointed at Zining, subtly pink against the fabric.

“…Nothing.”

“Thought so.”

You’re the weird one! Zining screamed inwardly, her expression twisted in frustration.

“Well, I’m heading out. Got some errands. Zining, you’d better get to school—you’re gonna be late!”

Fully dressed, Luo You had completely transformed.

From lazy housewear to a lively, outgoing beauty.

A white-and-blue short dress traced out her elegant curves. Though petite, the white thigh-highs gave her legs a soft, supple contour.

Where the stockings ended and pale skin began was pure temptation—a forbidden zone that practically begged to be stared at.

Especially the way her thighs bulged slightly over the stocking tops…

Luo You tucked her phone into her pocket. With no shoes that fit her, she slipped on a pair of slippers and walked out the door.

---

Moments later, Zining collapsed at the entrance, fists pounding the ground.

“WHY! ARE YOU! SO DAMN GOOD AT WEARING GIRL CLOTHES?!”

Never mind the rest of the outfit—just the way Luo You had slid on those thigh-highs with practiced grace…

The elegance. The subtle sensuality.

It all screamed one horrifying thing to Zining—

I’m not even a real girl anymore!

Something was definitely wrong here!

Did her dad use to secretly crossdress in thigh-highs while doing… stuff with other guys?!

Zining tried to imagine it. Then slapped her own eyes so hard tears welled up.

Too much. Burn it. Burn that image forever.

Sitting slumped on the floor, arms hugging her knees, she stared blankly at the ceiling.

“Dad turned into a mom… What am I supposed to do now… Just kill me…”

And yet…

She couldn’t get the image of those sock-covered feet out of her head.

“After lunch… I’ll buy a tub of ice cream.”

Ding dong ding dong ding dong—

“Eh?! Magic Alliance?”

Zining panicked and answered.

“Urgent mission. Little Red. Transform and report to Huahai City’s operations room, now.”

“Yes, understood.”

Short call.

Which meant the situation was very serious.

She stepped out the door, making sure Luo You had already left. Then lifted her left hand and brushed her thumb across the starlight ring on her right pinky.

“Transform!”

Brilliant white light exploded.

Even the neighbors’ rhythm games got booted up by the magical surge.

A hazy door shimmered into view.

When it opened, a vibrant, energetic magical girl stepped out.

Gone was the snarky, rebellious daughter.

In her place, a small figure with long golden hair tied in twin tails under a red hood—complete with cute, bobbing antennae.

Zining, now in full magical form, was bright, compact, and totally adorable.

“Better hurry. They’re in a rush.”

---

Five minutes later—

The operations room sat at the top of an office tower in Huahai City.

This was the magical girls’ secret base.

“I’m here!”

All six local magical girls had already arrived, including two seniors transferred from other cities—Yue Yuezi and Zhou Xi.

Zhou Xi was a bit unique.

Unlike most magical girls, her real identity was public knowledge.

“You must be the rookie everyone’s talking about.”

Dressed in her magical outfit, Zhou Xi gave Zining a friendly handshake.

“They say you brought back divine particles recently?”

“Ah… Yeah, that was me.”

“Thank you.”

Zhou Xi looked at her as though a weight had been lifted from her heart.

“You did us all a great service.”

“Eh? That’s a bit much…” Zining said modestly.

“No—it’s not.”

Zhou Xi’s tone turned serious.

“I once fought the Aurora Witch in person.”

“And to be honest, the power gap was… soul-crushing.”

“Her abilities were deeply connected to divine particles. That substance is a game-changer—it can literally rewrite strategy. I hope you understand just how important your actions were.”

“Haha…”

Zining’s anxiety skyrocketed.

That super-critical divine particle… she’d used it to turn her dad into a hot milf.

If that ever got out—

Wait, hang on.

Zhou Xi fought the Aurora Witch?

So she’s been van♀-quished too?!

“Alright, quiet down.”

Zhao Xin, head of the local Magic Alliance branch and the same teacher who’d spoken to Zining yesterday, clapped her hands.

“Since everyone’s here, I’ll get straight to the point.”

“I just met with a division head from the Transcendent Organization.”

“He gave me intel: there’s a near-king-level Temporal Aberrant Beast already hiding in our city.”

“We need to prepare a response.”
