A Bedtime Revelation and a Morning Transformation

“Clank~” A sound like something dropping echoed through the room.

I furrowed my brow, then slowly opened my eyes.

It was a ceiling I’d never seen before, and as I lifted my head slightly, I glimpsed two distinct hills…

……

……

After a brief moment of thought, I concluded I was at Leidi’s house. There was no longer any need to consider my gender.

Squinting, my face wore the languid expression of someone still yearning for sleep.

I was so tired. It had taken considerable effort to fall asleep last night.

****

After I had finished punishing Leidi, we prepared for bed. Since sleeping in a bathrobe was out of the question, Leidi prepared to change into her pajamas and offered me a set as well.

However…

“L-Leidi…” My cheek twitched unnaturally.

“Hmm?” Leidi swiftly and without a moment’s hesitation donned her pajamas, casting a glance my way with an unintentionally alluring aura.

How should I put it? Leidi’s pajamas were the kind of sleepwear unsuitable for children’s eyes.

The overall impression was that of a black sleeveless slip dress, adorned with white ruffled lace along the shoulder straps and slightly above the waist. Yet, the fabric appeared incredibly light and soft, and quite transparent besides.

Leidi seemed almost completely naked before me. Had I not known Leidi’s body was, in reality, male, I might have struggled to maintain my male composure.

……

Ugh… right… I was no longer a man.

Was that material called lace? I wasn’t quite sure; my previous sleepwear had always been cotton pajamas, mostly long-sleeved. It made sense, really—who would make men’s pajamas out of lace or similar materials? If such a thing existed, I’d truly like to see it.

Looking down at the garment in my hands, its style differed from Leidi’s. It was entirely white, also a sleeveless slip dress design, but the bust design resembled a bikini, giving the general impression of the top half of a two-piece bikini combined with a long skirt. Moreover, aside from the shoulder straps and the edges of the bikini-like top being embroidered with teal lace, the rest of the material was white sheer gauze.

Indeed, mine was even more transparent than Leidi’s.

“C-could I request a more… normal set of pajamas?” I asked, my face flushed crimson.

“What’s wrong? It should look rather lovely on you. Look, like this.” Leidi demonstrated, spreading her arms and gently twirling before me, her long hair swaying, her skirt fluttering. The Leidi before me was like a black fairy, utterly beautiful, utterly enchanting.

I shook my head, dispelling any thoughts of doing something to Leidi, and awkwardly averted my gaze:

“I-I-I feel… I don’t have the courage to wear this sleepwear…”

“Shall I help you put it on?” Leidi smiled, leaning closer.

“It’s not that I can’t wear it; it’s that I dare not!” I protested, waving my hands.

“Heh heh—” Leidi covered her mouth, chuckling, her expression conveying a sense of ‘what can you do?’: “But I only prepared sleepwear like this. It would be too much to ask the servants to go out and buy more now.”

It was probably already past midnight; sending servants out now would surely earn their resentment.

I tugged at the collar of my bathrobe: “Then, then I’ll just sleep in my bathrobe.”

“I won’t let you onto the bed then~”

Leidi cast a sidelong glance at me. Seriously, why was she so insistent on this point!

“Then, then, then, then, then I’ll just sleep naked!” I gave in. I had a feeling that if I wore that sleepwear, something precious might vanish.

“Ohh~ Are you trying to tempt me, mmm-hmm~?”

I delivered a swift hand chop to her head.

“Stop joking around!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll allow you to sleep in your bathrobe,” Leidi said, rubbing her head, and took the sleepwear from my hand.

Finally, she compromised. With a sigh, I walked towards the bed.

So big! How many people was this for? That was my first thought upon seeing the bed.

I climbed on, and it was so soft! Was it made of marshmallows? That was my second thought.

Lying down, I thought, ‘Ah~ This is heaven!’

Soon after, Leidi joined me. She turned off the lights, and we drifted off to sleep.

If only it had been that simple…

To find a comfortable sleeping position, one always needs to turn over in their sleep, right? That’s when the problems began.

“Ouch~”

My hair hurt, no, my head was hurting from my hair being pulled. I was jolted awake from my shallow sleep by the pain.

Completely inexperienced with sleeping with long hair, I had inadvertently trapped all of it beneath me. Turning left or right felt incredibly awkward.

“Ouch~,” “Mmmph~,” “Ah—”

Exasperated, I finally sat up.

“Eek—!!!”

My butt had landed on my hair too! That hurt so much!

“Mmm~ What’s wrong?” Leidi rubbed her eyes and switched on the light.

“I pressed on my hair, it hurts so much…” I looked at Leidi, tears welling in my eyes.

“You just lay on the bed without asking, I thought you knew… Haaah—” Leidi yawned: “Wait for me.”

Leidi got out of bed, searched for something on the table in front of the mirror, then returned to bed.

“Turn around, I’ll tie it up for you.” Drowsy, Leidi squinted, holding two hair ties.

“After this, put your hair to the front, and sleep on your side, like me.”

Leidi instructed as she tied my hair.

‘Put it to the front, huh…’ I imagined it, and indeed, Leidi’s hair had been in front when she got up earlier.

‘Being a girl is truly a lot of work…’

****

Lying on my back, I blinked a few more times, then, still heavy with sleep, I sat up.

“Eek—!!!”

I instantly sobered up.

When did the hair tie fall out? And wait, wasn’t I supposed to be sleeping on my side? It just dawned on me that I had been lying on my back.

Looking at myself, my neatly tied hair had completely come undone, a tangled mess. The bathrobe on my left shoulder had slipped down to my arm, and the situation on my right shoulder was no better, with my entire chest exposed to a dangerously revealing R-17 (TL Note: A Japanese rating indicating content unsuitable for persons under 17, often implying sexually suggestive material.) level. One smooth leg was even peeking out, bent and pressing against the blanket.

……

……

‘Did Leidi… do something to me…?’

‘No, no, no, impossible.’

‘How could she do such a thing to me?’

“You’re awake.”

Turning towards the voice, I saw the black-haired Leidi, clad in a student uniform rarely seen in China, sitting in front of the mirror, holding a short, cylindrical object.

“Are you putting on makeup?” I asked, still oblivious to something important.

“Mmm, I accidentally knocked over a lipstick when I finished just now. Did I wake you? Though it was about time to wake you up anyway.”

“I see.” I stood up, stretched, and got out of bed.

“Here, put these on first.”

“Ding—!” My heart stopped.

Leidi retrieved a pink, matching lace lingerie set from the cabinet and handed it to me. I stood frozen, utterly at a loss.

Finally… I had to face this moment.

“What’s wrong? You can still put on underwear, right? I’ll help you with the bra.” Leidi moved closer.

“W-w-w-w-wait!” I raised my palm defensively, retreating a few steps.

“If you don’t wear it properly, a size like yours will sag, you know~” Leidi smiled, closing in a few more steps.

‘Are you my grandma?!’

“I-I-I-I’m not mentally prepared yet!” My face was crimson as I continued to back away.

“Resistance is futile~” Leidi’s smile widened.

“Eek—?!!!”

Having retreated as far as I could, my leg hit the edge of the bed, and I tumbled backward onto it.

Leidi’s eyes immediately lit up, and with an excited expression, she pounced!

“I won’t hold back!”

“Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!”

My scream, echoing through the room, was utterly useless.

****

“Ugh—”

Completely naked, I buried my head in my knees, curled up at one side of the bed. No, at least the bra was still properly on, so it wasn’t *entirely* naked. My whole body was flushed crimson with embarrassment, and now I could only emit meaningless “ugh—” sounds.

“Here, your panties.” Leidi held up the panties, grinning at me.

‘Demon… This person is a demon! After forcibly stripping me using some martial arts hold, what unspeakable atrocities did she commit against me?!?’

“Ugh—” I buried my head even deeper.

“Or do you want me to help?”

I shot my head up, snatched the panties, and quickly scrambled further into the bed. I absolutely would not let her do anything else to me!

Unfolding the panties in my hand, I still needed to check which side was front and back.

I saw a tiny bow… ‘How embarrassing… How much of my male dignity was even left?’

“Here I come~” Seeing my prolonged hesitation, Leidi began to tease me again.

“No!!!” I closed my eyes, trembling, and silently apologized to my former self. ‘I’m sorry! My heart feels like it’s bleeding!’

Bending over, I slipped my feet through the leg holes one by one, then pulled them up with my hands. The soft fabric slid up my thighs, finally settling at my bottom. ‘Why! Why! Even though my eyes were closed, why did it feel like I saw everything so clearly!!’

Tap~

“Ack!!!” I jumped up in fright. Leidi had tapped my butt.

“You have a really nice figure; even I’m envious.”

That seemed to be the truth.

“If I could, I’d really hand it over to you right away…” ‘Spare me, this isn’t good for my heart.’

“Alright, next are these.” Leidi produced the student uniform, which she had apparently retrieved at some point.

The first item she handed me was the top. Was this a sailor uniform? A white main body with a large blue collar and a few white stripes. A red bow tie was attached to the front.

I tried to pull it on over my head like a T-shirt.

“Huh?!”

It got stuck… Both the neckline and the other side felt too small.

“There are buttons at the bust panel, and a zipper on the side of the uniform. Try opening them all,” Leidi reminded me.

I searched and indeed found a zipper on the side of the uniform, but:

“Where’s the bust panel?” I indicated I didn’t know what this new term meant.

“The fabric above the bow tie is the bust panel.”

“Oh, I found it.” So that was the bust panel (TL Note: The front bib or panel of fabric on a Japanese sailor fuku uniform). I felt like I’d learned something new.

I tried again, and this time it went on. I zipped it up and fastened the buttons. I had to admit…

It was tight, so tight around my chest!

“Here, the skirt.” Leidi handed it over.

This time, I took it in my hands and examined it carefully. This blue-black skirt also had a zipper and buttons, even pockets. ‘Skirts have pockets?’

After putting it on around my waist, I realized something:

“Leidi, for a skirt, which side is the front?”

I really couldn’t tell.

“For this type of pleated skirt, I usually turn the zipper to the left side of my waist; it’s more convenient that way.”

“Oh.” As a novice, I decided to follow her advice.

Once dressed, the skirt’s length reached around my knees, making my calves feel cool.

“Come down now, it’s time for socks and shoes.”

I sat on the edge of the bed and took the white mid-calf socks and brown shoes.

‘They’re leather shoes!’ I marveled.

And… my feet had become so small…

****

After washing up, Leidi had me sit in front of the mirror to comb my hair.

Come to think of it, the earlier chaos had been so overwhelming that I hadn’t even noticed how stunning Leidi looked now.

Reflected in the mirror was a fairy. Her tender white skin, delicate black eyeliner, long eyelashes, and moist, radiant lips, paired with a pure black hime cut hairstyle (TL Note: A traditional Japanese hairstyle characterized by straight, side-swept bangs and blunt, shoulder-length side locks.), gave her an air of cool elegance, like an unattainable flower on a high mountain peak.

‘Hmm?! Pure black hair?! Wasn’t it light chestnut last night?!’

I’d discovered something! Something significant.

“Leidi, why has your hair color changed?” I asked as she meticulously combed my long hair.

“Oh, this,” Leidi replied with an expression that said, ‘You just noticed?’: “It’s an effect of the previous gender transformation magic. My hair turns light chestnut for six hours between 9 PM and 3 AM.”

“Eh?!”

How surprising! I knew it; my impression of Leidi, despite her European heritage, was that she had black hair! Yesterday, it was precisely because of her hair color that I hadn’t recognized her immediately. Still, I couldn’t help but marvel again at how diluted her European lineage truly was.

“Are there any other changes?” I asked, concerned.

“No, only the hair color. Everything else is normal.” Leidi smiled, cupping my face.

Relieved, I smiled back.

After finishing my hair, Leidi sat beside me and opened a discreet small box—no, to be precise, she slid it open, upwards.

I glanced over. ‘Good heavens! What were all these countless bottles and jars?!’

“So many!” My eyes widened in shock. There were three layers of them!

“Really? I think it’s fine.” Leidi acted as if this were perfectly normal. ‘I mean, are all girls monsters?!’

“Now, close your eyes. Don’t open them without my permission.” Leidi turned my face towards her and began to pull out various tools… ‘Uh, was it my imagination, or did I see a pencil and a file?’

“Oh.” I’d ask Leidi what those things were later, so I closed my eyes.

Dot, dot, dot.

I felt something being applied to my face, then smoothed out.

Wipe, wipe, wipe.

Was that a brush? It felt ticklish.

Stroke, stroke, stroke.

My eyes were gently stroked on both sides; that must have been Leidi’s fingers.

“Mmm-hmm—” It felt like a prick. Something hard was tracing my eyebrows. Was that the pencil from earlier? ‘So girls’ eyebrows really are drawn on!? How shocking!’

The corners of my eyes also felt outlined; it was quite peculiar.

‘Were my eyelashes being treated too?’ Something brushed against them.

Finally, my lips. This must be lipstick. How embarrassing.

“You’re done, open your eyes now.” Leidi’s voice announced the end of this strange journey.

I cautiously opened my eyes, then turned my head to look in the mirror.

“Wow~”

Reflected in the mirror was another fairy.

If Leidi could be described as coolly enchanting, then I must be pure and adorable. Makeup was truly amazing.

“You have an excellent base; I only applied a super light makeup for a few minutes to achieve this. If I took my time, I could make you a beauty capable of toppling nations~” Leidi smiled, putting away her tools.

“How incredible…” Looking at my reflection, I didn’t doubt her words.

“Of course, I’m a professional.” Leidi leaned her head against mine, smiling.

The mirror reflected two beautiful fairies. Would the mirror itself smile?

“Leidi, teach me how to do makeup in the future!” Without thinking, I blurted it out.

‘Uh?! Oh no! How did I get myself into this?!’

“Alright,” Leidi replied, glancing at me with a playful, theatrical smirk, covering her mouth as she chuckled.

“Don’t laugh!”

The adorable fairy protested, her face flushed.
