His gaze shifted downwards, his view obstructed by the impressively large pectoral muscles—of course, this was not a significant issue for Kevin, who had already thoroughly examined the 'changes'.
The girl's beautiful blue eyes were filled with a hint of wanting to cry but having no tears.
Little brother! Little brother, how did you become a little sister?!
Although Kevin is the type of person who has a lot of self-control, the bizarre thing that happened—that he suddenly turned from a boy into a beautiful girl while taking a shower—truly made it impossible for him to calm down.
Furthermore, he's the type who lacks assertiveness—when this bizarre thing happened to him, without considering Sue's strange behavior earlier, Kevin looked at his best friend with a mixture of tears and hope:
"Su..."
In her current state, what Su saw was a white-haired girl with tears welling up in her eyes, staring at him with a pitiful look on her face. She looked incredibly cute and had a quality that made her seem pitiful. Without a doubt, this appearance, coupled with that delicate voice, was like a heavy hammer that struck Su's heart hard.
He looked at the white-haired girl in front of him, whose name he didn't even know, with a hint of panic—she was crying...
It's all my fault! It's all my fault for not knocking before entering! I wasn't paying attention!
Not good at dealing with girls, Su silently berated herself, then hesitated and carefully said, "Miss... it was indeed wrong of me to barge into the bathroom without saying hello."
"Although I saw something I shouldn't have seen due to an accident... I will not shirk my responsibility. In any case, I will take full responsibility."
"..."
The white-haired girl was stunned for a moment.
"ha--?"
She glanced down at herself, then at Su, and looked at Chen Ken, who was extremely serious. She instantly realized what had just happened.
She realized she was now a girl, and Su didn't seem to recognize her.
Kevin knew his best friend's personality very well...
The other person just saw him naked—well, Kevin understood that, but because of their relationship, he wasn't really bothered.
After all, they were best buddies who compared sizes and took baths together.
What does a frail body matter? I've seen it countless times in the past.
Thinking of Kevin made me chuckle, but then I suddenly remembered Sue's lingering, almost drooling gaze—it all felt so familiar...
It's like my past self... wait, my past self?
A hint of shock flashed in her blue eyes, followed by a look of grief, indignation, and disbelief as she stared at Su—"I treated you like a good brother, and you actually lusted after my body?!"
Miss Kevin, feeling that their friendship was in trouble, was furious.
But he quickly calmed down.
If Su found out that he had turned into a girl... Kevin thought about how Su would tease him. Just imagining Su's expression after she found out he had become a beautiful girl made Kevin feel a pang of unease.
No! Su must not discover my identity!
Kevin, who had originally wanted to ask Sue for help, had this thought in his mind.
After all, although she was quite anxious about turning into a girl, such a strange thing had suddenly happened, and knowing Su so well, she naturally understood that Su couldn't help her at all.
If that's the case, wouldn't exposing his identity to Su only make him a laughingstock?
and--
Although he felt a little disgusted by Sue's lecherous gaze, looking at his shy, slightly blushing best friend, who resembled a first love, Kevin immediately recalled their past conversations.
I vividly remember when I told him that I had met a girl I was attracted to in the Far East, Su teased me for quite a while. At the time, he was focused on how to get closer to Mei, so he didn't pay any attention.
And now she's been dumped by Mei, and she's even become a girl...
—A slight smile slowly curved the corners of the girl's lips.
And on the other side-
The Fifth Research Department prepared temporary accommodation for Alicia.
In what could be called a luxurious hotel, the fat lady teasing the fairy Ellie puffed out her cheeks, not very happy—damn it, that wicked Jiang Qiao actually got this 'little Ellie' by his side without him even knowing when.
Seeing the fairy Ellie's appearance, she couldn't help but recall her own childhood... Of course, Ellie didn't have a good impression of the fairy Ellie.
After all—the fairy Ellie claims to be the 'crystallization' of Jiang Qiao and Elliesia... Hmph, what crystallization! It's just another clone!
Why use such flowery language? Do you think I, Ellie, am illiterate?
I, Alicia, am the real Alicia! That scoundrel Jiang Qiao isn't! What kind of Alicia's creation did he produce?!
You didn't tell me something so important—
...snort.
Just you wait, the benefits you've gained from me, Ellie, I'll make you pay them back sooner or later, you bastard!
The sullen, fat woman thought to herself—until a dark shadow burst into the room through the window.
They weren't alarmed because the person who barged into the room was none other than Sakura, who was in charge of the reconnaissance operation—she was carrying a wailing Pado in her hand.
"The process is going smoothly."
Sakura's voice was cold and monotonous—she was always so decisive in her actions, which was why she was liked by Dr. MEI and the others.
However, the fat woman's eyes revealed a hint of confusion:
"Uh... I understand, but why not use the main entrance?"
"..."
The room fell into a brief silence because of those words.
"See, I told you so, Sakura-nee! We could have just gone through the main entrance. Why did we have to climb in through the window?"
"...I'm used to it."
"Forget it."
"What kind of information have you gathered, Sakura?"
Although she is quite different from 'Alicia', the fat lady is still very reliable when she gets serious, and she gets straight to the point.
"There are many."
Sakura paused for a moment
"I met someone."
Her memory returned to the daytime—
"Miss, please wait a moment."
"..."
The slightly immature voice that rang in her ears made Sakura stop in her tracks.
Turning her head, she saw a silver-haired girl wearing a small, decorative magic hat. The girl held a magic wand with a parrot on top and stared at her with a playful smile on her face. Sakura didn't really like this kind of smile, to be honest, based on her past experiences.
People with this kind of smile often have a deep and calculating nature.
Of course, she doesn't usually need to worry about these things.
After all, most of those who were able to see her were already asleep in the earth.
Sensing no threat, Sakura remained vigilant, simply placing her hand silently on the hilt of her sword.
Her extensive work experience taught her not to look down on anyone because of their appearance, as doing so could very well lead to her own demise.
"Haha, I understand, I understand, but please don't mind it."
"May I introduce myself?"
“Meilin—of course, you probably haven’t heard of this name, after all, I’m just an unknown nobody.” Noticing Sakura slowly drawing her sword, the girl named Merlin wasn’t nervous, and smiled as she gently pressed her hand down in acknowledgment:
"However, I roughly know your purpose—intelligence, right? Don't be nervous, perhaps I happen to have the intelligence you need?"
"Information regarding—the Fifth Science Department."
The silver-haired girl revealed a mysterious and subtle smile.
And all of this was presented to them through Sakura's retelling.
Immediately afterwards, Pado also said:
“We’ve inquired around. The person who gave Merlin to us seems to be a well-known intelligence dealer in this area, but almost no one knows her background. They only know that she appeared at some unknown time.”
The cat isn't just a mascot—she's quite talented at integrating herself into local intelligence networks.
"The Fifth Research Department seems to have some connection with the Apocalyptic Church, which is prevalent in Eastern Europe."
"But the more important information is that the core of the 'Herrscher of Reason' stored in the Fifth Research Institute seems to be gone."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing Sakura's information, Alicia was instantly stunned.
She learned from Jiang Qiao that besides reorganizing the Fifth Research Department, the main purpose of this trip was to retrieve the core of the Herrscher of Reason—but... the core was gone?!
"No wonder..."
The fat woman suddenly realized something.
