Wenwen: I’m full, I can’t drink anymore!

After placing the last plate in the cabinet, Lin Yuxuan wiped her hands with a paper towel.

“Wenwen, how do you feel about today?
Are strangers not so scary anymore~?”

“Mm-hmm. Senior Mu Yue is really friendly.
It felt great studying together with everyone.”

Honestly, Tang Yawen did like Mu Yue—as a classmate or friend, she was perfect.
But as a rival? That was… problematic.

Mu Yue was the type who radiated social charm—
kind, approachable, and incredibly empathetic.
Even on their first meeting, she treated Wenwen with such care.

And… she seemed to have feelings for Xuanxuan.

Just that alone made Tang Yawen feel crushed under pressure.

“That’s good. I was worried you two wouldn’t get along.”

Lin Yuxuan had been a little nervous at first.
If this were the simulator, bringing them together
might’ve already gotten her bisected.

“Female, cleaver, bloodstains, her shattered body”

Shattered body meaning literally shattered.

But in reality, she didn’t need to worry.
They weren’t influenced by the simulator.
She was safe.

“Xuanxuan… I… really like the feeling of everyone working on the same thing together…”

Tang Yawen spoke from the heart.
She was genuinely changing her view on club activities.
No longer blindly rejecting them—
but slowly accepting them.

“Mm, I’m glad you like it~”

Her efforts weren’t in vain.

“Xuanxuan, what was it you wanted my help with earlier?”

“It’s like this—I’m planning to start my own manga,
but I’m stuck on the plot.
I don’t really understand the market—
I don’t know what kind of content to make.”

“Oh, I see. I understand your problem.”

“First, for the genre, I suggest ‘defeated magical girls.’
It’s been trending on Comic Paradise lately.”

“For art style, I’ve been checking your daily sketches.
Your style fits this genre perfectly.
Your skill level can definitely handle it.”

Lin Yuxuan blinked.

Wait—was she being told to draw this kind of intense content right after starting?

“For the plot, I can help with some of the setup.
You just draw it.”

“That’s too much trouble for you, Wenwen-sensei…”

“No problem, Xuanxuan.
I’ve got plenty of unused plot ideas in my head.
They’ll finally be useful.”

Lin Yuxuan and Tang Yawen quickly finalized the manga’s basic setting.

It was a world overrun by monsters.
People lived in a city called “Paradise,”
safe from creatures known as “Abnormalities.”
“Magical girls” in various revealing outfits fought the monsters.
If a magical girl lost, she wouldn’t be killed—
instead, she’d be captured by the monster,
left in a state of helpless ecstasy.
So, in battles, magical girls might rescue former seniors who’d been captured.

The rescued seniors were in a dazed, pleasure-obsessed state.
The protagonist’s story began here.
Her first wife was a senior rescued from a slime monster.
Under the protagonist’s care, she slowly regained her humanity—
then fell in love and joined the team.

“Wait… will readers actually like this?
A heroine who was captured by monsters?
Would anyone want a wife like that?”

From Lin Yuxuan’s perspective,
she’d never want a wife who’d been abused by monsters.

“Of course! Doujin readers have strong tastes.
They love ‘characters with lives of their own.’
Trust my professional judgment.”

Lin Yuxuan thought—well, yeah.
Who reads doujin with their brain? Just go for it!

As long as it makes readers go,
as long as it feels good—that’s all that matters.

“Xuanxuan, I should go home. It’s already past nine…”

Tang Yawen checked the time.
Normally, she’d already be brushing her teeth by now.

“Wenwen-sensei~ Don’t go~ It’s so late.
Going out alone isn’t safe. What if you run into that thing again…?”

Lin Yuxuan and Tang Yawen both thought of the eerie shadow from earlier.

They both gasped, chilled to the bone.

“Alright, Xuanxuan.”

On the surface, she seemed calm—
but inside, Tang Yawen was overjoyed.

Huff huff! Xuanxuan wants me to stay overnight! Yes!
Thank you, mysterious shadow man!

“Wenwen-sensei, wait here a sec.
I’ll clean up and prepare a room for you.”

“Mm, okay.”

So we’re sleeping in separate rooms after all?
Fine… I was thinking too much…
Xuanxuan would never let me sleep with her…
A lowly amoeba like me…

Lin Yuxuan interrupted her thoughts.

“Wenwen-sensei, why don’t we just sleep together?
I have a double bed.
Setting up a new room would take time.
We’re both girls—we shouldn’t mind, right?”

“Am I dreaming? Is this heaven?”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“N-nothing… I said it’s fine.”

“Mm~ Good. Come on, follow me~”

Lin Yuxuan tempted Tang Yawen into following her to the room.

Lying in bed, Tang Yawen’s heart pounded.
This was her first time staying over at another girl’s house.

And it was the girl she loved!

She even had a chance to sleep in the same bed!

This is amazing!

The moment Lin Yuxuan left, Tang Yawen buried her face in the blanket and giggled like a maniac…

Wenwen, you’re so lewd…
Fine, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.

“Wenwen, I’m done. Your turn to shower.”

Before showering, Lin Yuxuan offered Tang Yawen to go first—
she was the guest, after all.
But the golden-haired little mole insisted on being polite,
letting Xuanxuan go first, then herself.
Lin Yuxuan felt something was off—
but couldn’t figure out what.

“Okay~” Tang Yawen rushed to the bathroom.

“It’s Xuanxuan’s bathwater! Drink!”

After stripping, Tang Yawen dived into the tub,
drinking the water Lin Yuxuan had used.

Earlier, she’d told Xuanxuan:
“Don’t waste water—we can both get clean with one bath!”
Her real goal was this moment.

“Waaah… so sweet~ Xuanxuan’s taste is so fragrant…”
Tang Yawen sighed in bliss.
How could there be such a perfect girl as Xuanxuan?

Beautiful outside, captivating inside—
even her bathwater was intoxicating…

“I can’t… I’m drunk…”

“Xuanxuan… do you like peeing in the bathtub?
If so, please keep doing it!”

Tang Yawen felt so happy today…

…

Meanwhile, Lin Yuxuan was drinking milk.

She’d been having insomnia lately—
and milk was supposed to help.

Tang Yawen returned after her shower.

“Wenwen, want some milk? It helps you sleep~”

Lin Yuxuan handed her a sealed carton.

Tang Yawen immediately shook her head.

“No, no! I’m already full…”

Lin Yuxuan: ?
