[CH.5] Protecting Alice's Absolute Territory
At night, in the backstage dressing room, the crowded air was stifling and hot.
Tonight's performance was a community event, and the organizers had invited various clubs to participate. There were senior Yangko dance teams, third-rate performers, faded stars, and teenage street dance groups—anyone with a bit of talent could take the stage.
Alice was dressed in her iconic sailor uniform and knee-high socks, sitting with her knees drawn up on a small stool. In the noisy and crowded dressing room, she appeared small and helpless.
Her silver hair stood out conspicuously in the crowd, its brilliance so blinding that it made others squint their eyes.
The radiance on her hair and skin was the magical girl's magical protective shield. All magical girls had the ability to shine, it's just that Alice's fair skin and silver hair showcased the brilliance even more.
In fact, she could turn off this radiance completely, but Kate forbade Alice from doing so. Because the shimmering silver hair was part of Alice's persona, and a persona couldn't be switched off.
"To make people remember you, your features are the sailor uniform, knee-high socks, and the radiant silver hair," Kate had said.
Tonight's performance was naturally meant to increase Alice's exposure. However, the others in the same dressing room seemed very casual, not at all like they were here for a performance.
The aunties from the Yangko dance team chatted about their families, the D-list entertainers and faded stars gathered to discuss the hardships of life, and the boys from the street dance group were as noisy as cicadas in the summer.
One of the kids ran up to Alice and asked curiously, "Big sister, why is your hair white? It looks like it's glowing."
"That's because... because..."
Alice was about to pass out from the stuffy air in the room, her body swaying slightly, not knowing how to explain.
One of the aunties came to Alice's rescue, saying, "Because the big sister is a magical girl, and people with magic glow."
"I want my hair to glow too, dye it white!"
"No, you'll be mistaken for a lazy troublemaker."
"Why doesn't the big sister get mistaken for one?"
The child's words left everyone at a loss for words. The male coach of the street dance group quickly pulled the child away and apologized to Alice.
"I'm sorry. The child doesn't know any better, and he's not very good at speaking."
"It's okay."
Alice responded with a gentle smile, unconsciously covering her absolute territory with her hands.
The young coach's gaze kept drifting towards Alice's skirt.
Despite his obvious restraint, he couldn't resist the allure of Alice's beautiful legs. In the absolute territory between her knee-high socks and sailor skirt, Alice's fair thighs seemed as if they could become moist at the slightest touch.
Alice blushed, looking like a child who had done something wrong, radiating a pure sense of shyness.
The coach of the street dance group asked, "Are you okay? Your face is quite red, are you nervous?"
"It's okay, I just feel a bit stuffy..."
Alice replied like this, but the coach of the street dance group could see the girl's shyness.
He took a closer look at the magical girl in front of him.
Her spherical legs were shapely and fair; her cheeks, untouched by makeup, were already so delicate, like smooth and transparent porcelain. Alice was indeed a lovely girl, and she seemed so shy that it seemed she might not have experienced much in life yet.
The male coach touched his own sharply defined 3D chin, marveling at his handsome and suave appearance.
"Hehe, I'm really handsome, making another girl fall for me. Tonight, I have the chance to get this adorable girl, it's just fantastic."
The narcissistic coach misunderstood Alice's thoughts and began fantasizing about all the possibilities with Alice tonight, unable to hide his wicked smile.
The love of a player like him was quite cheap, as long as a girl was beautiful, she could win his "love."
Han Huayang sneered at such behavior. As a pure-hearted young man, in his mind, love should be a grand and profound epic that moves heaven and earth. Without a deep emotional foundation, one is not worthy of saying they love someone.
Of course, Han Huayang would soon discover that his own feelings were not as noble as he imagined...
【+1 Love Points】
A system prompt appeared, and Alice looked at the young coach in front of her.
He was indeed handsome, with sharply defined facial features that were very three-dimensional, both handsome and imposing, especially his jawline, which was incredibly sharp. This big brother relied on his handsome jaw to attract a group of young women and promote his street dance group.
Since Alice received a system prompt, does it mean that the coach likes her? But Alice was completely uninterested in this guy; she didn't want to date men!
Alice just glanced at the coach and immediately lowered her head. She huddled over her legs, trying to hide her crimson cheeks.
"What's wrong? Do you have a stomachache? Do you need me to take you to the restroom?"
"No, it's okay..."
"It's not a bother. If you can't walk, I can carry you."
This coach actually wanted to touch Alice's thigh, with very impure intentions. If it weren't for his smiling face, he might have started drooling.
"I said, really, no need..."
"It's really not a bother. Come on, let me carry you."
As the coach said this, he was about to get handsy with Alice. At this critical moment, a tall girl burst into the dressing room and put a stop to the coach's actions.
She appeared quite assertive. She was considerably taller than Alice, wearing a gray and white plaid skirt with bubble socks. A pair of narrow-framed round glasses sat on her nose, and her flaxen hair was tied into two long braids that hung down her back.
She grabbed the coach's wrist. Her sharp gaze was like a razor's edge, as if she could cut this man into pieces.
"What do you think you're doing to my Alice?!"
The girl glared at the coach with hostility, and a golden light flashed in the dark pupils under her glasses. With one strike, she shattered the coach's earring.
This girl, dressed like a literary girl but with a violent personality, was none other than Alice's senior from the same talent agency, Li Meiting, in her transformed state as the magical girl, Lillian.
Magical Girl Lillian.
【Magical Girl Lillian】
Round Glasses: 6
Braided Hair: 5
Pleated Skirt: 3

Magic Abilities: Hypnotic Gaze, Desire Detection
Her aggressive personality, completely incongruous with her literary girl appearance, was Lillian's main selling point as a magical girl idol. However, this selling point didn't quite align with the trend of community idols.
Lillian crossed her arms, proudly displaying her assets.
She stood in front of the male coach, stomping her foot between his legs. Startled, the coach scrambled back several meters and ended up diving under the skirt of a nearby girl from the dance team.
Suddenly, there was another head under the girl's skirt, and she screamed in terror, kicking the coach several times.
"Pervert! There's a pervert here!"
"It's not... I didn't, I'm not..."
Although the street dance coach tried to defend himself vigorously, it was too late. The other girl, still in shock, was only stopped when a makeup artist intervened.
Lillian squatted down in front of the street dance coach and waved her tightly clenched fist under his nose.
"Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?"
"I..."
"Don't even think about touching our Alice; she's mine! Do you understand?"
"I understand..."
"Good, now get out of here before I see you again!"
"Yes, I'm leaving."
The coach quickly crawled out of the dressing room, thoroughly embarrassed. Lillian then gave a fierce glare to the onlookers and shouted, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a fight before? Don't you have anything better to do?"
Lillian's imposing presence silenced everyone, and they continued preparing for their respective performances.
Lillian's real identity was Li Meiting, Han Huayang's senior. Kate's talent agency only had Li Meiting and Han Huayang, and it couldn't have been anyone else.
When she wasn't drunk, Li Meiting was a gentle and kind older sister, with only a difference in clothing and appearance before and after her transformation. However, influenced by the attribute [Violence: 7], she could become irritable and quick-tempered at times.
As a senior idol in the agency, Li Meiting wasn't particularly skilled at performing or pleasing the audience. Her quick temper also limited her fanbase. Despite being in the industry for a long time, she hadn't accumulated many fans.
Kate, therefore, wanted to promote a newcomer as the agency's main act, focusing on the image of a delicate and pure young girl.
It was Kate who tasked Li Meiting with finding a suitable candidate, and she "convinced" Han Huayang to join the agency the next day.
Han Huayang agreed to become a magical girl to borrow money to pay off his debt.
Kate agreed to let Han Huayang become a magical girl because she saw the potential in his "innocent young girl" image.
After dealing with the male coach, Li Meiting clapped her hands and returned to Alice's side. She pinched Alice's nose and said unhappily:
"At least be more careful, don't let men get too close to you. Outside, you must learn to protect yourself. Your thighs are my territory, only I can touch them."
