The end of the day~

After seeing Ji Yue off, Luo You returned to yesterday’s haunt.

She had lingered here for four hours, racking up another hefty bill of several thousand.

Well, consider it the necessary expense for enjoying Big Sister’s body.

“Today, I’m not planning to let things end so easily~ Transform!”

Burn… No, the Aurora Witch makes her grand entrance!

But this time, Luo You made a slight tweak—she removed the V-shaped mask.

The mask carried a “perception inhibition” effect, ensuring no one could ever connect Elera with Luo You.

So far, Luo You had yet to meet anyone capable of breaking through this cognitive barrier.

Wearing it might tip Liyun off to something odd, so better to go without.

“Ya~ To think I’d take off my mask while transformed—Big Sister, you’re the first to make that happen!

Since you’ve claimed my ‘first,’ I’ll have to collect some interest from you, won’t I?”

Luo You smirked triumphantly, her shadow warped by the dungeon’s candlelight into something more sinister than a demon.

Just then, a knock echoed from outside the studio.

Knock, knock.

“…?”

“Ohh~ Slacker Big Sister, hurry up and come in! I can’t wait any longer!”

“Did you just use a rude word to describe me!?”

Liyun stormed in, puffing with indignation, but the moment she laid eyes on Luo You, her body froze as if turned to wood.

With a thud, she dropped to her knees, limbs splayed on the ground like a domesticated beast, stripped of all dignity.

Luo You: “?”

Liyun: “!?”

Realizing her perspective had lowered, Liyun snapped back to herself, her face flushing crimson with shock.

“Tch-tch-tch-tch, no! It’s not like that—!”

“Big Sister… you’ve been thoroughly tamed, haven’t you? I can’t even imagine you turning out like this after just one night.”

Ughhh!

The overwhelming shame swelling inside her threatened to shatter Liyun into atoms.

She remained in that humiliating pose, writhing in agony before Luo You.

At the critical moment, Luo You shifted the topic to bail her out.

“Well, this just proves my imitation is spot-on, doesn’t it, Big Sis?”

“Y-Yes! Yes! It’s so convincing! If I hadn’t known beforehand, I’d have totally mistaken you for her!”

‘Even knowing it’s you, I still dropped to my knees,’ Liyun thought, mortified.

[It’s… too perfect… My body reacted instinctively like that…]

Liyun stared at Luo You in a daze, her heart filled with nothing but awe.

‘If another magical girl saw this version of Luo You, they’d probably pin her to the ground and have their way with her on the spot.

Worst case, they’d just apologize afterward, right? Hahaha.’

Luo You crouched in front of Liyun, cupping her own face with both hands.

“So~ If 100 is a perfect score, how many points would Big Sister give me?”

“120!”

“Excellent! Here, have a drink first, Big Sister.”

Luo You handed Liyun a thermos from her bag, unscrewing the cap.

The faint, sweet-tart scent of honeyed citrus wafted through the air.

Gulp—gulp—

Liyun downed two cups, feeling a refreshing clarity wash over her.

‘Yuyu really loves this stuff, huh,’ she thought.

At that moment, Luo You pulled out a rope.

“Alright, now that you’ve seen the good stuff, let’s get started.”

“Huh? Wasn’t I just here to check out Yuyu’s finished look?”

“No way! I went through all this effort to dress up like this with the full intention of breaking you, Big Sister.”

“What!? I-I-I’m busy today…”

Her body’s instincts urged Liyun to back away, but—

Her hands and feet… weren’t responding properly?

“Big Sister, you drank my tea and still think you can resist?”

“Yuyu-Yuyu-Yuyu-Yuyu!? That’s too much…!” Liyun trembled.

“What I’m after isn’t just looking like Elera—it’s matching her personality and vibe too. That way, you’ll feel it more authentically, right?”

“Eek!”

Liyun shuddered from head to toe.

She remembered that night—the one where Elera had taken her down with every underhanded trick in the book.

Yes… Elera. That woman would stop at nothing!

“You don’t have to recreate that part!” Liyun protested.

“No way! If you think I’m not immersive enough, I could always strip you bare first, Big Sister.”

“Eek—no, no, no! You’re plenty immersive already, Yuyu!”

“Perfect. Now, let’s turn Big Sister into a simple, happy woman. Up you go!”

A sudden tug came from Liyun’s feet, flipping her vision upside down.

Her entire body was hoisted into the air, suspended.

But the next change was what truly terrified her—her legs were forcibly pulled apart by the ropes, a searing pain shooting through her as if her body were being torn in two.

****

“Aaahhh!”

A radiant glow erupted from Liyun’s body.

Magical Girl Liyun—Transform!

“Yuhuan!? Big Sister, that’s cheating!”

Luo You shielded her eyes, only to find herself instantly bound by dazzling magical ropes.

In the midst of the light, the transformed Liyun stepped forward, her face brimming with fury.

“You—you despicable  wretch who defiled me and my sister! Today, I’ll make you pay tenfold for the humiliation I suffered!”

“Hey! Hey! I’m just a fake!” Luo You shouted.

“!?”

Liyun, nearly lost in her rage, snapped back to reality.

But seeing “Elera”—Luo You—wriggling helplessly on the ground, she almost couldn’t resist binding her in a humiliating pose with magic.

“Why are you staring!? Untie me already!”

“Aaah—sorry, sorry!”

Liyun hurriedly undid the magical ropes and helped her up.

“Big Sister, per the rules, you’re not supposed to fight back, got it?”

Luo You pouted, rubbing her wrists, briefly worried her identity had been exposed.

Luckily, Liyun was a simple woman.

“Big Sister, you just saved your own life, you know? If you’d figured out who I really am, I’d have had to lock you in my cage forever.”

“Yuyu, maybe… let’s just call it a day.”

Liyun maintained her apologetic posture, resolute in not continuing.

“Big Sister, you’re just going to bail when it’s time to get serious?”

Luo You’s gaze seemed to pierce straight into her soul, forcing Liyun to look away.

“I… I don’t want to give up, but I really…”

“Are you that scared of being tamed by me?”

“Ugh! That’s part of it, but more importantly…”

Liyun felt a pang of guilt, cold sweat beading on her neck.

Luo You’s ruthless “taming” was real, but that was a hurdle she could overcome.

What she truly feared was this: being humiliated and broken by this near-perfect imitation of Elera.

If she lost control in the heat of the moment, she might actually treat Yuyu as a stand-in for Elera and… devour her!

Luo You wasn’t the real Elera, after all—she had no defenses against Liyun.

It’d be all too easy to overpower her.

And once things went too far, there’d be no going back—just regret.

Luo You didn’t catch on at first, but noticing Liyun’s sneaky glances at her body, she suddenly understood.

“Ohhh~ Big Sister, still hung up on using me as a substitute, you shallow woman?”

“Don’t say it like that! How could you see through me—ugh, you always see through me!”

Liyun covered her face, mortified, her privacy utterly shredded.

“Who can blame me when Big Sister’s such a weak fish?”

Seeing Liyun was nearing her limit, Luo You switched tactics, adopting a softer approach.

“If Big Sister can’t handle this or that, I can go easy on you, you know?”

“Huh? …What do you mean?”

“I mean we skip the intense props and stick to simpler play.”

“But… is that really okay?”

“Of course, of course! We’ll take it step by step,” Luo You encouraged.

At the end of the day, her goal was to hone Liyun’s acting skills.

Enjoying the process was just a bonus—she couldn’t lose sight of the main objective.

Besides, the role she’d written for Liyun was that of a dim-witted fairy, enthralled by the witch’s power, fawning over her without needing extreme tools to torment her.

The one destined to suffer in the script was actually the “auntie” with the innate poison body!

In the story, the auntie harbored deep hatred for the witch.

Her family had fallen, and even her beloved fairy master had been tamed into a servant of the witch’s wrath.

Her loathing was unshakable.

Even after being drugged by her master, transforming her from a poison body to a charmed one, she refused to break.

The witch tormented her relentlessly, but she held firm—until the witch forced her own master to “discipline” her, dealing a crushing blow to her spirit, leading to her complete fall.

[Whew, disciple and master in the script, niece and auntie in reality—this is gonna be explosive…]

Luo You’s heart raced with excitement.

In short, Liyun was safe. The real danger lay with the auntie.

But that didn’t mean Liyun got off scot-free.

Just fawning over the witch like her scripted master would grind her dignity into the dirt eight hundred times over.

Hmph, with Liyun’s disposition, she should be able to handle that, right?

After all, the moment she walked in, thud, she was already on her knees.

The only thing to worry about was her acting.

“Big Sister, if you can’t handle the tools, fine. Just toss your dignity aside and serve me wholeheartedly instead.”

“Like… how?”

“For starters, kneel. Bark like a dog. And… hmm, I’m going to write on your body.”

Liyun’s heart still pounded with fear, but compared to being whipped, this was much better.

“You’re not worried I might actually… lose it and do something to you, Yuyu?”

“Then you’d better hold it together! You’re already a failure as a Big Sister—don’t tell me you’re going to be a failure as Magical Girl Liyun too? Show me some grit!”

…Liyun had no comeback.

“Alright, put these on first.”

Luo You tossed a set of clothes at Liyun.

Dog ears, a dog tail, paw gloves, a scandalously revealing swimsuit collar.

And stockings.
