Chapter 49: The Kitten Bra

“Help…” Bai Muxue reached out a hand, struggling in Bai Yun’s arms.

But Bai Muxue’s strength was too small to break free from Bai Yun’s embrace. And her voice was too soft to snap Bai Yun out of her daze.

So who knew how long passed before Bai Yun came to her senses. By then, Bai Muxue’s hair and clothes, already somewhat messy to begin with, were a complete disaster.

Especially her hair.

“Sorry, sorry, big sister didn’t mean it.” Bai Yun cleared her throat and tilted her head to the right.

“…” Bai Muxue didn’t answer. She just stared straight at Bai Yun, looking very angry.

Actually, Bai Muxue still hadn’t come back to her senses.

Bai Yun thought Bai Muxue was still sulking at her, so she apologized again, this time louder.

“I’m sorry, Muxue, big sister really didn’t mean it!”

“Huh?” Only then did Bai Muxue react.

‘What had just happened, anyway?’

After changing, Bai Muxue had been scooped into Bai Yun’s arms and rubbed and squeezed all over. Anyone who saw it would’ve thought she was a human-shaped plush doll Bai Yun had picked up from somewhere.

“J-just… be more careful next time.” Bai Muxue said softly.

After all, Bai Yun was her sister. It wasn’t like she could really do anything to her.

“I knew it. Muxue wouldn’t get mad at her big sister over something this small.” Bai Yun let out a sigh of relief, and the same gentle smile as always spread across her face.

“So… we’re done buying clothes. Can we go now?” Bai Muxue asked.

She really didn’t want to stay here any longer.

“Actually, we’re not done yet.” Bai Yun said.

Bai Muxue: ?

A little dress, thigh-high white stockings, and cute leather shoes. For Bai Muxue, the shameful trio was complete.

‘What’s still missing now?’

Seeing the confusion on Bai Muxue’s face, Bai Yun couldn’t help but prompt her. “Muxue, don’t you think there’s something missing under your clothes?”

‘Under my clothes… what’s missing?’

With Bai Yun’s reminder, Bai Muxue finally realized what was still missing.

It was something almost every girl wore as an extra layer under her clothes.

Underwear.

“Hahahaha” Bai Ye, inside Bai Muxue’s body, couldn’t hold it in any longer and laughed twice.

Bai Muxue’s reaction was just too funny.

“What was that?” Bai Yun caught the witch aura that had appeared out of nowhere, and her expression turned serious.

The witch aura was extremely faint. If Bai Yun’s perception weren’t so sharp, she really wouldn’t have caught it.

“!” Bai Ye hadn’t expected Bai Yun’s senses to be this keen. She’d only laughed twice inside Bai Muxue, and Bai Yun had still noticed.

Bai Ye was so frightened she didn’t even dare to laugh.

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Bai Muxue asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.

She naturally knew why Bai Yun had suddenly gone on alert.

Because Bai Muxue had also heard that shameless witch Bai Ye’s laughter. Bai Ye must have been caught in the act.

‘Tsk.’ Bai Muxue complained inwardly about how unreliable Bai Ye was.

“It’s nothing.” Bai Yun sensed that the witch aura, which had appeared so suddenly, had vanished just as suddenly. She frowned.

Maybe it was her imagination.

Bai Yun closed her eyes slightly and rubbed her brow.

Lately, she and Shi Lu had been searching for traces of the Eternal Night Witch in Changfeng City, combing every corner of the city, big or small.

Even for a Radiant Moon-class magical girl like Bai Yun, such an intense, prolonged search was starting to take a mental toll.

Bai Yun opened her eyes and found Bai Muxue staring at her, her eyes full of concern.

“Sister… are you not feeling well?” Bai Muxue asked.

In Bai Muxue’s eyes, Bai Yun had been full of energy just a moment ago. Now she was closing her eyes and rubbing her brow.

It was hard to believe Bai Yun was in a good mental state.

“Maybe I just didn’t rest well. I’ll be fine after sleeping a bit more at work.” Bai Yun replied.

“…Is it really okay to say so openly that you slack off at work?” Bai Muxue couldn’t help but retort.

“Just kidding.” Bai Yun waved her hand. “But I really might need some rest.”

Speaking of rest, Bai Yun couldn’t help but think of Shi Lu again.

In Bai Yun’s memory, since coming to Changfeng City, Shi Lu had been either processing documents on the top floor of the Association, holding meetings for magical girls, or tracking the Eternal Night Witch outside.

She couldn’t recall ever seeing Shi Lu rest.

When she thought about it, that didn’t quite make sense.

Logically speaking, even magical girls needed to rest after long stretches of work to recover their peak condition.

Only witches didn’t need rest.

Witches were a special case. Strictly speaking, they weren’t normal living beings, so they generally didn’t fall into mental fatigue.

But Bai Yun wouldn’t suspect Shi Lu of being a witch just because of that.

Because the mana on Shi Lu was, without a doubt, the mana of a magical girl, not that of a witch.

Maybe Shi Lu was just special.

“Sister? Sister?” Seeing Bai Yun spacing out for a long time, Bai Muxue called out to her again.

“Ah… I was just thinking about something.” Bai Yun snapped back to reality. “Muxue, let’s keep shopping for clothes.”

“Okay.” Bai Muxue agreed readily.

She was already wearing a lot of women’s clothing. She’d even reached the point of willingly accepting it.

So having one more or one less probably didn’t matter much anymore.

Bai Yun led Bai Muxue by the hand to the underwear section on the second floor of Dawn Plaza.

“How about this one?” Bai Yun checked the size and casually picked up a bra.

“I think this one fits you well, Muxue.”

“Th-this one?” Bai Muxue looked at the garment in Bai Yun’s hand, the one printed with a kitten pattern.

She’d thought that after being baptized by women’s clothing, her tolerance was already high enough.

She hadn’t expected there to be something even more extreme.

If the person in front of her were Bai Ye instead of Bai Yun, Bai Muxue would have already kicked her.

“This… isn’t really suitable, is it? I’m an adult, after all. If people found out I was wearing something this childish, they’d laugh at me!” Bai Muxue refused sternly.

“It’s worn under your clothes anyway. How could anyone possibly know?” Bai Yun reasoned.

“No no no!”

“Why not?”

“No means no!”

The argument between Bai Muxue and Bai Yun attracted a few onlookers who were picking out clothes nearby.

“I think this one’s really pretty. It should suit you, young lady.” One of the onlookers said to Bai Muxue.

“Yeah, yeah.” Another onlooker nodded. “That other young lady has good taste.”

Bai Muxue was completely at a loss for words.

“Sigh, fine. We’ll buy this one.”

All of Bai Muxue’s struggle and resistance vanished in an instant. She took the bra from Bai Yun’s hand and walked toward the fitting room.

Bai Yun followed behind her, a little eager to see what Bai Muxue would look like wearing it.
