Chapter 8: Today I Start Being a Lolita (2)

  I was too tired yesterday and didn't notice, but this morning when I logged in and took a closer look, I found that my casually written update, which had been online for less than three or four days and had fewer than 50,000 words, had actually entered the top ten of the fantasy category's new books by new authors?

  While thanking everyone for their support, I wonder if I should feel a sense of awe that the world is indeed being taken over by loving otakus...

  ==================================================================

  After Li Hua recovered her composure and sat back on the edge of her bed, in order to avoid the awkwardness earlier, she decided to change the subject: "So, let's all talk about why we came to Hope Garden to study. I'll start first. I signed up with two childhood friends, and we promised each other that we would graduate together."

  "Childhood friends? Or two of them? Are you all girls?" Cecilia indeed became interested in this.

  "No, two women and one man. But you'll be disappointed, they're not in a love triangle." Eriol said from the side.

  "Don't steal my lines, Little Aili!"

  Alicia shrugged indifferently.

  "So next is me." Cecilia hesitated for a moment, "I'm because my fiancé who was engaged to me since childhood wants to take the exam for Hope Garden, so I came along too."

  "Hey! Who is it? Who's your fiancé? Which class?" Li Hua's voice suddenly transformed into the gossip god.

  Cecilia, who was stared at by Li Hua's frightening expression of "If you don't say it, I'll hug you until you do", thought it would be wiser to speak up: "Uh, Fabiano Dick, first year class A of the Magic Department."

  As Li Hua continued to ask more questions in the spirit of gossip, Elisha thought it would be better to help Cecilia and coughed: "Alright, stop making that scary face, it's frightening. Kassie, you tell her."

  "Who would have known that I and Cecilia are complete opposites. She's the one who followed her fiancé to enroll, while I'm here at Hope's Garden to escape a marriage arranged by my family."

  "Ah! Is that so?" Li Hua's curiosity was burning even more fiercely, "Can you tell me about it?!"

  Is this the plot of some Korean TV series?

  Facing Li Hua's eyes, which were shining with small stars inside, Khasi couldn't help but turn to Eriol for help: "So, why did Eriol come to Hope Garden to study?"

  "Because I'm bored."

  "Ah?" The crowd was taken aback by the extremely unexpected answer.

  "Because my sister-complexed brother was bored, and I myself was also extremely lonely, he sent me to Hope Garden, and I didn't object."

  "Achoo!" In some unknown space, Lokley Puer fiercely sneezed, "Which beauty is thinking of me?"

  Looking at the three women who were clearly in the middle of January but had a lot of cold sweat on their heads, Eriol let out a sigh and spread her hands: "I was just joking."

  "How dare you deceive people! Look at my claws!" Li Hua shouted strangely and stretched out his wolf claws to pounce on him.

  Alicia would not sit idly by and wait for death, she fought back.

  However, Li Hua was an agile warrior and dodged the pillow thrown by Eriol, pouncing forward to grab the cute little loli, but her hand was blocked by a shield emitting a blue glow.

  "Wait, wait a minute! Who would use Wind Shield on themselves while roughhousing in the dorm?!"

  "I'm just like this. Especially when I'm in a room with you."

  "Alright then, I won't hold back either!" Li Hua's voice rose as a white fist of energy struck the Wind Shield. The shield shook violently but didn't break.

  "You're the one! Who would use internal energy during a fight?"

  On the other side, Kraxi and Cecilia were already completely stunned. In this perverted pair's frolicking, they were eventually drawn in as well. Fortunately, the perverts realized that the two girls didn't know any magic, so they gave up on their mutual blows of air and wind blades, otherwise it would have really caused the first dormitory fight injury incident.

  But even so, the bedroom became a mess, as if it had been ravaged by an earthquake and a typhoon.

  "Bang!" The door was forcefully opened, and outside the door stood a blue-haired woman, exuding an eerie chill that sent shivers down one's spine, like an ice sculpture freshly transported from the frozen tundra. It was none other than dormitory manager Marlene Joseci.

  Li Huayin and Eri Ajia, who had just transformed into Earthquake Girl and Typhoon Girl, immediately put on a "I'm a good kid" expression and sat down neatly on the edge of their beds. The speed was so fast that the other two girls in the dormitory couldn't help but wonder if they were seeing things.

  "No roughhousing." Marlene's voice was devoid of emotional inflection as she spoke the words.

  "Yes, yes! Sorry!"

  "Keep quiet."

  "Got it! We absolutely won't quarrel again!"

  "Get ready."

  "Let's get going!"

  Marlene didn't say another word and closed the door behind her as she left.

  "Phew~~~" Elisia and Li Hua Yin let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

  The girls looked at each other for a moment and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Alright, let's hurry up and finish packing before 8 o'clock. Then, we can all go take a bath together!" Li Hua suggested.

  "I agree," said Cecilia. "I was sweating bullets when I signed up today. Ugh, is that really the noble's exclusive passage? Why was it so crowded?"

  "It's because today is the last day." Xia Xi waved his hand and said, "I won't go, I want to read some more books."

  "Well, I'll just give up then. I can just wash in my dorm room." Eliysha didn't want to make a joke out of herself by bleeding from the nose or fainting on the floor in the bathroom.

  Each dormitory bathroom has a 24-hour hot water shower head - of course, this is only available to students with luxurious dormitories like Class A and Class B.

  Li Hua's hand patted on Eliya's slender shoulder: "No way, little Eli. Girls must love cleanliness! After rolling around in the grass, you can't just casually wash up and go to rest?"

  "Ugggh..." Eliysha was left speechless.

  I am a divider line

  The changing room in the bathroom is a large public room with several rows of metal lockers similar to those found in Japanese junior high schools, each containing many small individual spaces. The doors of these small spaces are opened by student or teacher ID cards. These small spaces are undoubtedly used for storing clothes, which means that basically all girls and female teachers who come to take a bath will change their clothes here - unless some big sisters only wrap themselves in towels and go out.

  Alyssa had no idea how she managed to slip out of the loose comfortable casual wear and evade Li Hua's grasp into the shower room.

  At this time she was pouring cold water on her head.

  What a close call, I almost died from cerebral hemorrhage or excessive bleeding. Although it's romantic to die under the peony flowers, but if I really died like this, it would be too pathetic. How hateful, such an over-stimulating situation is indeed more suitable for that despicable man who picked up the angelic robot?

  After calming down, Eri-chan turned on the hot water.

  She began to seriously examine this body that she would use for a lifetime.

  Can't help but admit that Lockley was indeed very careful when making this body, it looks like a perfect work of art. However, Eriol, who still hasn't turned the corner in her thoughts, doesn't feel grateful for this.

  Her skin, as white and tender as a pearl, had taken on a healthy rosy glow under the heat of the steam, and the water droplets clinging to it reflected the colorful lights of the magic lamp, making her look even more beautiful. Her slender limbs and already well-defined waist, combined with her height of just over 1.2 meters, made the girl perfectly embody the phrase "weak and fragile" - if she didn't use the inner energy in her body to swing that huge sword around everywhere. Her silky smooth hair was almost as long as her height, shining with a golden color like a grain ear, making people can't help but love it.

  All of this is telling people that the girl will be a stunning beauty in the future, but now she already is a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

  But to think about it, this is a really pathetic and regrettable chest, it's only the size of a pouch egg. Although I can use excuses like 'I'm only 12 years old and still growing' to get away with it, but as soon as I think that my voice actor is Tsuruoka, I suddenly feel very uneasy...

  Each shower cubicle was made of marble and had a small wooden door in the style of a western saloon. In other words, although you could see the shoulders and lower legs from outside, most of the body was invisible - of course, whether Eriol's height would exceed the door we will not comment on.

  Feeling relatively safe, Eliya took bold action.

  She brought her right hand's index and middle fingers together, stretching towards the small slit on the smooth, hairless Mount Baizhang between her legs.

  No, it's not that she hadn't seen or touched one before - Lin Yu had a girlfriend in her previous life, but this guy was unemployed and aimless, so he blew it off. She was just curious about what it would feel like to be touched after being reborn.

  Itchy sensation, but none of the other expected feelings appeared.

  Eriol obviously forgot that this body's physical age is only 12 years old, and in the world of Chrolle, there are no XX hormone-injected poultry, XX medicated livestock, XX sprayed vegetables, or XX chemically added milk, so according to the development degree of a 12-year-old girl in this world, the body made at this time has no reaction at all.

  Alicia suddenly had an impulse to bang her head against the wall.

  The wooden door behind her was opened silently, and an evil hand grasped Eliya's smooth shoulder: "Hehe, little Eliya, this kind of thing is still too early for you."

  "It's better than you who have reached the right age but don't talk about boyfriends, instead entangling with girls all day long. Have you laid hands on Michelle?" Elisia retorted to Li Hua Yin without turning her head back.

  Alicia clearly felt the hand on her shoulder momentarily stiffen to at least an 8 on the Mohs scale.

  "Hey! Didn't I hit it right on the mark!?!" Eriol's face was covered in cold sweat as she stood in the steamy shower room.

  "Haha, oh yeah, today's weather is really great." Lihua said with a slanted gaze and a sly smile.

  "Oh my god! It's already evening now, right!? And we're indoors too!"

  "Uggghhh..." Li Hua, who was caught off guard and couldn't say a word, fell to the ground in the bathroom doorway: "Okay, I confess, I surrender. Sorry, I'm guilty, I shouldn't have been unfaithful."

  "Hey! Your dignity is all over the floor, pick it up quickly!" Elisia shouted loudly, "And what's with this phrase that sounds like a man who's been caught by his girlfriend in some compromising situation?!"

  Li Hua stood up, ignoring the gaze of everyone: "Alright then, let's drop it. Let's go take a bath together."

  "What!? Wait, wait a minute!" Eriya's face turned pale with surprise. She had originally come to take a shower alone, sneaking away while Li Hua Yin wasn't paying attention, but somehow she was found. "I told you I wasn't going! By the way, how did you find me in such a big bathroom?!"

  "It smells."

  "Hey, even a dog wouldn't be able to find someone whose scent has been washed away by water..."

  "I can smell the sweet body fragrance of all the beautiful girls nearby."

  "Spare me those nauseating lines that only a disgusting middle-aged man would say!"

  Li Hua grabbed the basin where Alisha had placed her bathing supplies without warning, and pulled her along: "You have to go. Everyone worked hard to grab a small spot, don't waste it."

  "Huh? Everyone?" Eriol suddenly had a very bad premonition.

  I am a divider line

  The originally very large bathtub is now full of people. But this isn't strange at all.

  Alicia almost had a nosebleed when she just came in, fortunately she put her eyes on the ground in time.

  Indeed, peeking from outside and personally entering the girls' bathroom are completely different experiences. Unfortunately, compared to that lecherous man who picked up the angel-type robot, although we both entered after transforming into a girl, he can transform back but I won't be able to! I want to shout "What bad luck!"

  In a place close to the corner, it was occupied by several girls.

  "Hey everyone, I've brought our lovely little sister over!" Li Hua said with a wave.

  Erihito lifted her head with the determination to faint on the spot. Fortunately, the girls were all submerged in water, leaving only their shoulders exposed outside.

  Mishelle, Cecilia, perhaps coincidentally appearing here Larwen, a short-haired girl with a boyish haircut and a beautiful girl with long pink hair that exudes nobility even when bathing - Erihiya knows her, the first in the ranking of "Secret Garden", also a newcomer Sofia Hartlund.

  It seems that this semester at Hope Garden is the year of beauties? Three new students have just enrolled and squeezed out the original top three on the ranking chart, it's really speechless.

  "Ai Li sister, you're here." Mishielle greeted first, "Is your injury healed?"

  "Yes, if it still hurts, say so quickly." Larwen also said on the side.

  "Well, it's fine now. After all, I've been treated with the 'Sacred Healing Technique'." Eriol reluctantly sat down in the bathtub and then submerged her mouth underwater "Gurgle gurgle" blowing bubbles.

  "Hello, my name is Granna. I'm an orphan so I don't have a surname." The short-haired girl nodded at Eriol and said, "To be honest, I really admire you! We've all heard about your story from Miserella, it's truly amazing!"

  "It's too much praise... I personally think it was just reckless. I haven't even figured out who that guy is yet." Eli actually didn't have time to ask, she planned to ask tomorrow when school starts.

  "Thornason George, 16 years old, the only son of Joseph George, the largest lord in the Byrea Empire. He has been relying on his father's power to do evil things in the fiefdom since he was a child, and although he appears to be unlearned and untalented, he is actually good at plotting. Because no one has ever caught him in the act, and Joseph has developed the fiefdom and controlled a large amount of money and private soldiers, the Byrea Empire turns a blind eye to his actions, even if they stir up public resentment. Moreover, Joseph seems to never interfere with his son's behavior, making him even more arrogant." Sophia nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I am Sophia Hartrend, and Granada is also a roommate of Michelle's."

  "Alicia Harris. Thanks for the intel, Sophia. I'll be careful." Alicia said and went back to blowing bubbles.

  "Hey, hey, hey, please don't mention that guy again, okay?" Li Hua said, seeing the atmosphere was a bit awkward. "If he dares to come again, I'll beat him into a pig's head! Right, Muxue? Wow, such smooth skin! Let me touch it!"

  "Wow!!!"

  "Hey, are you all kids? What's with the commotion in the bath?" Elisia scolded, having been splashed by Li Hua's water scoop.

  Lihua, who was playing "Eagle Catching Chickens" with Michelle, froze for a moment upon hearing the words, then turned around and pounced on Eri: "I love this kind of deliberately pretentious tone the most~~~~~ wah!"

  Alicia pushed Li Hua's head into the water with one hand. The latter struggled while drinking water.

  "Ah, Elisha, what's going on here..." Sophia said with a black line hanging over her head.

  "Nothing, it's just usual. Uh!" Elisha's expression suddenly became very colorful.

  To avoid Li Hua and Mei Xueer's quarrel, the girls all stood up, instantly allowing Eriol to thoroughly enjoy a close-up killing intent scene - still without the white fog holy light ink drop.

  She felt that at any moment she might, like some aberrant lily girl in a women's college, spout out massive amounts of blood from her nostrils and turn the entire bathtub into a hellish pool of blood.

  Fortunately, that didn't happen. Perhaps it was because although the soul was male, the body had already completely become a girl's, so there was no reaction to this stimulation. However, what happened afterwards was completely beyond Eriol's expectations.

  "Trigger task 'Forbidden Lily'. Please stay awake during this bathing period, and once you faint or bleed from the nose, it will be considered a task failure. This task is a special task with no penalty. The reward for completing the task successfully is a special body fragrance that attracts women, and the reward for failing the task is a special body fragrance that attracts men."

  Why does taking a bath always trigger some kind of mission?! What's with this reward?!

  "Ah, my dear sister, if you succeed in your mission, it means you've finally started to think of yourself as a woman; but if you fail, it means you still think of yourself as a man. Isn't that clear?" - Lockley's voice echoed in Eriol's mind.

  Of course I understand! What I'm asking is whether this reward is generally supposed to be the opposite?!

  "I just like watching others play yuri and BL."

  Eriol fainted after experiencing all sorts of happy hardships - only to be knocked out.
