However, the moment she saw Xingjian coming, the smile on her face quickly disappeared and she returned to her usual coldness.
"...Wouldn't it be more helpful to be a considerate big sister at this time?"
Hoshimi, who had seen Hayasaka's multiple identities many times before, was no longer surprised.
"That girl has been a guest at the Shinomiya family before. She might recognize me."
Hayasaka ruffled her hair and expressed her thoughts calmly and rationally.
"Under these circumstances, it would be safer to face her with another identity."
"...It's up to you then."
"Remember to change your words in front of Sawamura later and don't call me sister."
"Then I'll call you Hasaka-san?"
"Well, that's good."
After the two of them had a brief discussion, they returned to the bedside—Hayasaka put on her pure and gentle smile again.
"You're Eriri, right? My name is Hasaka, and I'm Xiaoqing's friend. Here, I'm giving you some clothes. Please put them on quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
Miss Hasaka took a few small steps forward and handed the clean clothes in her hand to the blonde girl who was still naked and wrapped in the bed.
"Um...thank you."
Although Eriri still looked at the strange woman with an unfriendly look at first, after seeing her gently handing her a clean shirt, she still thanked her very frankly.
Of course, there were no girls' clothes in Hoshimi's house, so she could only give Eriri her smallest piece of clothing - but even so, the shirt was still a little loose for her body at the age of six or seven, and could almost be worn as half a robe.
Eriri looked at Hasaka who was smiling gently at her, then looked at Hoshimi who had been playing with his phone with his back to them while she was changing clothes, and curled her lips.
She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, such as "Who is this Hasaka?" and "What is the relationship between you two?", but in the end she suppressed her curiosity and asked the most confusing question at the moment.
“Why is my body shrinking?”
She didn't expect either of the two people present to give her an answer, so this soliloquy was more like a complaint.
Hasaka pouted in embarrassment, because she really couldn't explain this abnormal phenomenon.
However, just when the two of them stopped talking.
“…There is an explanation for this paranormal phenomenon.”
Xingjian, who had his back to the two of them, turned around, leaned against the wall, clasped his hands in front of him, and expressed his views calmly.
"Adolescence syndrome—some people use this term to describe the paranormal phenomena that occasionally occur in young people. This includes, but is not limited to, telepathy, absence of existence... and even the ability to predict the future."
Having said that, Xingjian paused, slowly took a step or two forward, and looked calmly into her eyes, which looked confused because she had just opened the door to a new world.
"Perhaps, your shrinkage, Eriri, is also related to this thing."
"Puberty...syndrome?"
Obviously, this was the first time the little blonde girl encountered this concept. She muttered these simple words with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"What...how is this possible..."
Hasaka on the side seemed to suddenly remember something and raised his eyebrows slightly.
No wonder Xingjian asked her the slightly strange question not long ago: "Do you believe in predicting the future?"
This way you can connect.
"——How could something like this that only seems to happen in light novels actually happen in real life?!"
Perhaps this incident was too shocking for her, Eriri shouted in her childish voice, and the force with which she pounded the quilt with her two little fists was so light that it seemed as if she was just acting coquettishly.
No, now that her body has become smaller, she looks like she is just acting coquettishly.
"If that's the case... Haru, is there any solution?"
No matter how much she scratched her head, Eriri couldn't come up with a solution, so she gave up thinking. She looked at Hoshimi in a baby voice and used her short hands to pull at the collar of her shirt that was about to fall off her shoulders.
“Wow… Why did something like this happen to me… What if my body can’t be restored?”
"...So far, I don't know anyone who has solved this kind of thing. But I know a friend who has experience in this area. I can take you to her house tomorrow to ask her."
Xingjian rolled his eyes, and his expression softened slightly as he thought of someone very reliable.
Miss Hasaka beside her raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but the gentle and pure feeling on her face did not disappear.
She didn't know what friends her brother had - of course, this was because she had never paid any attention to him.
But now, it seems to be different from before.

Sawamura Eriri's Body Can't Shrink: Chapter 1 Even if Her Body Shrinks, She's Still a Famous Painter! (Part 1)
It was around seven or eight in the afternoon, and the sky was already showing signs of getting dark.
After staying in Xingjian's cramped apartment for about twenty minutes, Miss Hasaka slowly stood up and prepared to leave, saying, "It's already this late, I won't disturb you guys' rest."
Hoshimi left the still somewhat distraught Eriri on her bed and followed Hasaka to see her off.
However, just as the girl with long golden hair walked out of the door, her steps suddenly stopped——
Then she turned around slowly, and Xing Jian, who was following her, also stopped where she was.
Xingjian lowered his head slightly, and his eyes met Hasaka's gentle gaze.
It seemed that she was still playing the role of the innocent high school girl "Hasaka" just in case, and the delicate and youthful smile on her face never faded.
"If I keep hiding my true self with all kinds of masks and closing myself off from the world, will I get lost in the constantly changing personas one day?" - Looking at Hayasaka Ai who was protecting herself like this, Hoshimi would occasionally think so.
"——It seems that the paranormal phenomenon you mentioned last time, Xiaoqing, was not just a joke."
She maintained the shy smile that only her character "Hasaka" had, and sighed in a gentle and considerate voice.
“…………I never said it was fictional.”
——Xingjian chose not to show any extra emotions about this, but just looked into her eyes with a very normal attitude and answered calmly, responding to all changes with the same attitude.
"And as someone who has experienced it firsthand, I feel I am more qualified than anyone else to attest to the existence of this incident."
"—"
Hearing this, even Hayasaka, who was hiding herself behind Hasaka's mask, was stunned.
Could it be that this brother, who had always been ordinary and insignificant in her eyes, had also experienced this kind of extraordinary phenomenon before?
After a brief moment of distraction, she noticed a hint of subtle gloom in Xingjian's eyes - so she gave up the idea of using this to dig deeper.
Since he didn't mention it, it proves that this is at least not a pleasant and interesting thing that can be brought up as a topic of conversation.
I didn’t expect that this younger brother is far from being as boring as I imagined.
Suddenly, Kaguya's words flashed through her mind: "After all, even though you are siblings, you and Hoshimi-san are not that familiar with each other."
Miss Hasaka straightened up, raised her face and looked at the door of Hoshimi's house, and finally her gaze stopped on Hoshimi.
"I will keep Miss Sawamura's shrinkage a secret."
After all, if this kind of thing were to be made public, Eriri might be arrested and used for human experiments.
"Well, thank you."
Therefore, Xingjian simply thanked him.
However, what he didn't expect was that after hearing his thanks, the smile on Miss Hasaka's face became more cunning and clever.
"By the way, Xiaoqing, are you planning to handle this matter alone?"
"As I just said, I'm going to consult my friend about this problem tomorrow. Of course, I don't know if she's willing to help me. As someone who's been through this, I can only do my best. If I can't solve it perfectly in the end, then there's nothing I can do."
"Hmm, you sound like you've given up hope completely—that's not okay."
The blonde girl blinked her clear eyes, and finally took out her cell phone from her pocket with a smile and pointed it towards Qing's sight.
"If you have any troubles, or if you can't solve them on your own, please come to Miss Hasaka!"
"........."
This time it was Hoshimi who was a little confused - he had not expected Hayasaka to help him with this problem. It was good enough that she could keep it a secret and not tell anyone about Eriri's body shrinking.
"Really? Why do you look so surprised?"
She took her phone away and puffed out her cheeks like a sulking hamster.
"It's only natural for a sister to help her brother."
"Eh, that's a bit surprising. I thought Hayasaka-san had no feelings for me at all."
"Besides, Sawamura-kun and Kaguya-san are both from wealthy families, and we've both been guests at your home before. I have to make sure this doesn't happen to Kaguya-san."
"...Well, now it's not surprising anymore."
"But then again..."
Miss Hasaka paused and turned her gaze around.
The corridor was narrow and somewhat dim. The walls next to it, which should have been clean and white, seemed to be stained with some dark yellow stains because the entire building had been in disrepair for a long time. Occasionally, there would be small pieces of broken wall in the corners.
"...Has Xiaoqing always lived in a place like this? It seems like it's hard to be alone."
The girl's innocent smile is mixed with a hint of sadness and reluctance. Regardless of whether this is her sincere emotion, it at least fits the setting of a pure and sensitive high school girl.
"Ah, because the location here is good and the living furniture is quite complete. Besides, it's quite cheap."
Xingjian looked around nonchalantly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with the environment he lived in.
Anyway, he is an unemployed student living alone, so a simple student apartment is enough for him.
"If only Xiaoqing could have lived with uncle at the Hayasaka residence back then, that would have been great—ah, of course it's not too late now."
When she said this, Miss Hasaka's face was filled with a joyful smile, and there were even some traces of red on her fair face.
"This way I can get to know Xiaoqing better."
The beautiful blonde girl blinks her watery blue eyes, staring at you with curiosity and longing, and speaks words in a playful and coquettish tone that can easily make your heart beat faster.
——Is this the vitality offensive of a beautiful young girl? It is indeed very strong. I have experienced it.jpg
"...I feel more comfortable living alone right now, so I have no plans to move out for the time being."
But unfortunately, faced with these lines and expressions that were almost like a sure-fire move, Xingjian just blinked calmly and declined with a smile.
"........."
The youthfulness that was unique to "Hasaka" on Hayasaka's face gradually faded away. After a moment of silence, a hint of helplessness emerged on her face.
"Why are you able to see through my disguises and mode switches all the time?"
For Hoshimi, this expression rarely appears on the Thousand-Faced Maid Hayasaka Ai.
It seems that this is her sincere sigh.

Sawamura Eriri's Body Can't Shrink: Chapter 1 Even if Her Body Shrinks, She's Still a Famous Painter! (Part 2)
"Ah... I don't know. Anyway, I can tell at a glance."
"Why does this answer sound so perfunctory?"
"No, no, really not."
Xingjian shrugged and said what he was thinking.
"Anyway, I wasn't a participant in the story from the beginning. I've always been like a bystander. I believe you understand the principle that bystanders see more clearly. This way, it's probably easier to see someone's true side than others who are deeply involved in it."
After all, he had witnessed the moment when Hayasaka switched modes before, and since then, Hayasaka's versatile setting has been deeply rooted in his mind.
"...The real side is completely unnecessary, isn't it?"
