[CH.9] Girls like girls
At night, the bright moonlight and colorful neon lights illuminated the entire land together.
The performance at New World Square was still ongoing, and the sound reached the heights, leaving only faint notes.
Alice and her senior were together on a small platform at the top of the television tower, overlooking this city without "shadows."
The television tower was the tallest building within several blocks. Standing at the top, you could even see the boundary between the city and the suburbs. It was the boundary between light and darkness, with the dim areas being the suburbs where light was lost.
The senior had obtained the keys to the television tower a long time ago. She treated this place as her secret base and often climbed to the narrow platform at the top to play.
Since Han Huayang arrived, this was the first time the senior had brought "her" here.
The cold wind howled, blowing their dresses and braids.
Lilian stood at the edge of the platform, spreading her arms and enjoying the feeling of the wind brushing past her. Alice, on the other hand, sat on the ground, holding the railing tightly with one hand and pressing down on the hem of her skirt with the other.
It wasn't because she was cold. Magical girls had magical protection and were not very sensitive to temperature, even in icy or scorching weather.
It was just that the wind on this narrow platform was too strong. If Alice didn't hold down her skirt, her underwear would be exposed.
By the way, since the senior was standing next to Alice, as long as Alice turned her head, she could catch a glimpse of what was under her senior's skirt.
She had just seen it by accident, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red.
—Just a glance by accident, there was no need to be so nervous, right?
Alice thought to herself and stole a few more glances, being careful not to let her senior notice.
Her senior was wearing a black sheer lace underwear under her skirt, with lace patterns and semi-transparent mesh fabric, and it had straps on both sides to make the garment hug her body tightly.
It was indeed a fiery piece of clothing that matched her senior's personality, but such a sexy design did not match Lilian's literary girl-like attire.
Alice was on the verge of having a nosebleed.
Suddenly, Lilian bent down, her head coming close to Alice's face.
"This place has a nice view, and the wind feels so comfortable. What do you think?"
"Ah! Uh, well..."
Thinking she had been caught peeking, Alice was startled and let out a sound. She quickly lowered her head, hiding her blushing cheeks.
Her senior looked at Alice with a hint of confusion and suspicion, asking, "Hey, why are you reacting like this? It's a bit suspicious."
"N-nothing..."
Alice couldn't bring herself to meet her senior's eyes. She couldn't just tell her senior that she had been admiring her choice of underwear; that would be embarrassing beyond belief.
"I mean, you weren't staring at me just now, were you?"
"No! I definitely wasn't looking at your underwear!"
As she spoke, Alice realized she had just spilled the beans.
Her senior smiled and squinted her eyes playfully, saying, "Oh~ That's why your face turned so red. Come on, it's just underwear. Whenever you want, I can let you see."
Lilian said, starting to lift her skirt with her hand.
"No, no need!"
Blushing, Alice brought her face down toward her chest and tightly held Lilian's hand to stop her from lifting her skirt.
"Why? I just wanted to let you see since you rarely get the chance."
"Because... I already saw..."
"In that case, you can observe more carefully."
"No, really! I've observed enough..."
Alice's face turned even redder, and on this chilly platform, a faint mist seemed to rise above her head.
Watching Alice's shy and adorable reaction, Lilian plopped down next to her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Senior?"
"You're so warm, I wish I could hold you forever."
"But..."
Alice found it hard to speak. Her senior's warmth and the subtle scent on her made Alice feel like she was in a daze. She could hardly think about anything else except her senior in front of her.
【Love Points +3】
【Love Points +3】
.......
.......
The points in the system continued to accumulate, but Alice didn't care much at this moment. She just wanted to melt completely into her senior's embrace like a snowman. Even if her senior wanted to take it a step further, Alice probably wouldn't refuse. She wanted to get closer to her senior—
Wait, why am I becoming stranger and stranger in my thoughts!
Kate had mentioned that Alice was a Magical Girl of the Love and Justice type, and she had the attribute of 【Love and Justice: 1】, which made her thoughts become more "loving."
She would subconsciously seek deeper contact with the object of her affection. From this perspective, Alice had liked her senior from the beginning; she just never wanted to admit it.
"Senior, could you loosen up a bit? I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable..."
"Oh, sorry. I wasn't paying much attention. Your transformed appearance is just too cute, and I got carried away for a moment."
"It's not like that, it's just that I'm..."
"Haha. By the way, you're fundamentally still a guy, right? It must be a bit uncomfortable to be held by me as if you were a girl."
"Of course not, it's just a bit too hot. And you were hugging me too tightly, I couldn't breathe properly."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Her senior let go of Alice, fiddling with the end of her braided hair, smiling awkwardly.
Like Alice, her senior's cheeks had a hint of blush. The two of them sat side by side on the narrow platform, neither saying another word.
During this break, Alice checked her system.
【Love Points: 29】
The hug from earlier had brought Alice 24 (3 * 8 = 24) love points, which was much more efficient than any other form before. Just a hug could earn her so many points, could it be that she really...
No, she couldn't use a question mark anymore.
Alice sighed inwardly. Even if she denied her feelings as much as she wanted, the facts were right in front of her.
She did indeed have feelings for her senior, and those feelings must be of a romantic nature. Otherwise, Alice wouldn't be earning points from her senior.
Perhaps, as her alter ego Han Huayang, she had always had some admiration for her senior, and transforming and being close to her gradually transformed that admiration into love.
Alice keenly noticed the change in her feelings and straightforwardly accepted the fact that she liked her senior. However, it wasn't enough for Alice to confirm her feelings by herself; there were still many questions to be answered.
.....
The cold wind blew, cooling down Alice's somewhat restless heart. She discreetly glanced at her senior, watching her profile with a slightly contemplative expression.
Her senior had her forehead resting on the pillar of the railing, her eyes staring blankly at the ground lights below. The dazzling colors reflected on her lenses, refracting into her dark eyes, creating a starry scene.
Alice couldn't help but feel a bit mesmerized; her senior was truly beautiful.
She was like the kind of goddess that the public adored, tall, voluptuous, alluring, and on top of that, she was an heiress from a wealthy family. Her every move and expression exuded an elegant charm.
As long as her senior wasn't drunk, she was undoubtedly the dream lover of countless guys.
It wasn't strange at all for Alice to fall for her senior.
But did her senior have the same feelings for Alice?
Alice felt it was unlikely. After all, in her transformed form, she appeared as a girl. Could her senior really have romantic feelings for another girl?
Her senior probably just found it amusing to tease the girl who had transformed from a boy.
Just as Alice was getting lost in self-doubt, her senior suddenly turned around.
She smiled warmly and asked softly, "By the way, why did you argue with those two girls earlier? Did they say something bad about you?"
"Well, actually... it's nothing..."
"Tell me, if they said something too harsh, I'll go back and give them a piece of my mind right now."
"No need, it's really nothing."
"Tsk, telling me won't hurt you, so there's no need to hide it. If you don't tell me, I might just have to take matters into my own hands."
"What are you going to do... wait a minute—"
As she spoke, her senior was about to pounce on Alice again, startling Alice into a cry.
The narrow platform didn't offer much space, and Alice had nowhere to escape. She had no choice but to close her eyes and hope that her senior wouldn't get too aggressive.
However, her senior had no intention of actually harming Alice; she was just playfully scaring her.
Her senior ruffled Alice's hair with her hand and cautioned, "As a Magical Girl, Alice, you're already cute enough. But cute girls always attract jealousy. More and more people will talk behind your back and make fun of you."
"You don't need to pay attention to that kind of thing, and there's no need to stoop to their level. After all, you're really, really cute. You're my Alice."
Her senior's words of encouragement came from the heart. She had become a Magical Girl four years before Alice and had also been slandered and bullied, so she understood those feelings well.
However, she didn't know that Alice had rushed in because she heard her senior being badmouthed. At that moment, Alice had acted impulsively, even kicking the door of the dressing room open. Alice obviously wouldn't tell her senior this secret.
Alice gently pushed her senior's hand away and pouted, saying, "You're messing up my hair..."
Blushing, she feigned a slightly annoyed expression. But her senior extended her other hand and continued to ruffle Alice's head.
"It's okay even if it gets messy, I'll help you comb it later. Besides, your hair is so silky, it won't get messed up."
"Ugh... stop it! Wait, stop it, Senior!"
so cute my gay heart can’t handle the cuteness
