Want to be human, but cube-like

"I...I can do it!"

Actually, Aine herself was also a little tempted, to do it with Alex in the room... Ugh! So embarrassing!

So, is it a man?

But Dad persisted and asked another question. Looking at Aine's blushing expression, he began to have a bad feeling.

"It's a girl!"

Seeing her father's complexion begin to worsen, Ai-yin hurriedly said something, turning her head back with some dissatisfaction, puffing out her cheeks as she glanced at her father.

"Oh, it's a girl. That's good..."

The father, realizing he had misunderstood, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were a girl, there wouldn't be the risk of your daughter being taken away by some brat.

As for Aine getting married... that kind of thing will take at least ten years, no, twenty years!

"Um, haha... I mean, if I have time sometime, I could invite them over for a meal or something."

Then, noticing that Aine seemed a little unhappy, the father, knowing he was in the wrong, immediately raised his hands in surrender and laughed it off.

"Really."

The mother seemed somewhat disappointed, but she still glared at her husband before looking at Aine.

"It's still quite cold outside today. Aiyin, go take a hot shower and get some rest. I'll heat up a glass of milk for you."

"I'm going to take a shower now... oh, and some milk or something..."

Holding a bag of chocolates, Ai Yin was nodding as she prepared to go upstairs when she heard her mother's last words, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"No need, I drank quite a lot of milk outside today..."

Suddenly shaking her head violently, Ai Yin's face flushed slightly, and she stammered in refusal.

I did drink quite a lot.

I can still taste the lingering sweetness of milk in my mouth.

Then, one cannot help but recall Alex's soft tongue.

In a daze, Aine suddenly realized that her first kiss had been completely imprinted with the mark of milk flavor.

From then on, whenever she thought of milk, she seemed unable to stop recalling her kiss with Alex.

For her, milk held an unforgettable special meaning.

"I...I'll go up first!"

Hastily leaving out a sentence, Ai Yin, feeling that she needed to take a shower to calm down, ran back to her room to change her clothes.

"Ok?"

Dad frowned; he still felt that something seemed off about Ai-yin's behavior.

"what's wrong?"

"Mom asked curiously."

"nothing."

After shaking his head, Dad dismissed his doubts.

After all, what is there for a girl to worry about?

His daughter is very reliable in social situations.

……

Meanwhile, Alex, who was slowly making her way back to the hamburger shop, was still hesitating whether she should try to find the witch of all diseases first.

Although the "Witch's Kiss" has been removed, Aine shouldn't be at risk of being attacked again.

As long as she's not alone, she won't be targeted by familiars under normal circumstances.

But if this matter isn't dealt with, Alex feels like there's a thorn stuck in her heart, making her very uncomfortable and uneasy.

I took out my phone and glanced at it.

It was around nine o'clock.

There are still some strange meat sushi on my body. If I travel at the speed of my [Yokai Transformation] state, it won't take too long to travel.

Alex opened the minimap and took a closer look, but found neither her familiar nor Kyubey's portrait. She didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed.

Ever since Cupid discovered her minimap observation range, he has stayed outside her 500-meter range unless he actively shows himself to talk to her.

Although at this distance, Kyubey couldn't see what was happening around her, conversely, Alex couldn't find Kyubey's location either.

She really disliked the feeling of knowing someone was secretly watching her but not being able to find them.

Moreover, Aine might also be targeted by Kyubey.

She still remembered what Cupid had said about her uniqueness.

The more time you spend with her, the more likely you are to gain the ability to sign a contract and transform into a magical girl.

If that's the case, then Aine's qualifications have probably, no, definitely, already met the standards for signing a contract with Kyubey.

"It's quite troublesome to have so many things to kill."

Alex muttered something under her breath, looking somewhat troubled.

If only Mom were here, she could simply issue a command to the world and wipe out all the Kyubeys in the entire world.

Witches and familiars should also work.

However, unlike Kyubey, each witch and familiar has a different name, so it may not be possible to wipe them all out with just one command.

This might cause some trouble.

"Speaking of which, if Kyubey were to ask Aine to sign a contract, would Aine agree?"

Suddenly startled, Alex began to ponder the question.

The reason she didn't sign the contract was simply because she didn't have any wishes that needed to be fulfilled by Qubi, while Xiangzi did it because he didn't believe in Qubi's wishes.

But as for Aine, perhaps she has a wish she wants to fulfill?

At that point, it seems there's no need for me to stop it?

"Becoming a magical girl, perhaps, would make me safer?"

Frowning

Alex began to ponder the rationale behind this.

"Never mind, let's look for it first."

Stopping thinking about things that currently have no answers, she decided to look around the station where Aine was attacked. If she couldn't find her there, she would go home first.

After you get back, wash the dishes and get some rest.

Alex pursed her lips gently, and suddenly, she felt a pang of longing for the farewell kiss she had just shared with Aine.

If you meet several times a day, then you can kiss many times a day, right?

A thought popped into my head.

For the first time, she felt an urge to use commands like her mother to make tomorrow come immediately.

I want to kiss Aine again.

…………

P.S. Next up is the second stage, where Ai-ne, the shrimp-headed girl, has clarified her feelings and is bursting with action.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if I can capture the essence of shrimp heads in writing.

Volume 1: Chapter 158 Shameless!

Today is the weekend.

"Ellie is so pretty~"

Therefore, the hamburger shop is very busy at lunchtime.

"He looks so handsome when he's working hard!"

"Sorry for the wait, here is your meal, please enjoy."

With a standard smile, Xiangzi ignored the incessantly chattering pink-haired girl sitting at the counter and handed a plate to the customer in front of him.

"Trench coats and black stockings really do go with long boots! Wow~ Her figure is amazing~"

Xiangzi must reiterate.

It's the weekend, so the store is really busy.

"However, it's probably because the clothes I sewed by hand suited Ellie so well!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Xiangzi took advantage of a moment when no customers came forward and turned her head to look at Aiyin.

“Aine, I completely agree with your point that Alex is very beautiful, so you don’t need to keep emphasizing it here.”

She gave a forced smile, but her words sounded rather cold.

"Well?"

Meanwhile, Ai-yin, who had been sitting to the side with her hands supporting her cheeks and watching Alex with a smile, blinked slightly and looked up at Xiangzi in surprise.

"Did I just blurt out what was on my mind?"

Ai Yin asked in surprise.

But the slight smile in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.

"...So, instead of taking a proper rest at noon on a weekend, he came to a burger joint, didn't order anything, and just sat here staring at Alex for over an hour..."

Taking a deep breath, Xiangzi repeatedly reminded himself to be polite and not to resort to violence.

"Is it just so you can hear what's on your mind?"

She tried to calm herself down, maintained a smile, and asked.

"Love, Sound, Classmate?"

The way he said that name was so full of gritted teeth.

But soon, something will happen that will make her even more furious.

"Oh, right~ I'd like a glass of milk~ hot, please, thank you Xiao Xiang~"

As if she had just remembered, Ai-yin smiled and casually ordered a glass of milk.

"call……"

Xiangzi, who was used to Aine's personality, didn't care what she was up to. She just breathed a sigh of relief and turned to pour her some milk.

“Heh~heh~”

Ai Yin was humming a little tune happily; it was the melody of the hamburger shop commercial song that they had performed just yesterday.

She was in a very good mood today.

After waking up this morning, Aine lay in bed in a daze for a long time. Before she was fully awake, she still thought that everything that happened with Alex last night was just a dream.

I imagined them kissing in a small park, confessing their love on the tram, sharing a light farewell kiss before parting, publicly announcing their relationship in front of everyone, walking down the aisle with their parents' blessings, and discussing in media interviews how he met and fell in love with Alex before becoming a famous fashion designer…

They thought none of these things had ever happened.

It wasn't until Ai-yin picked up her phone to check the time, then opened LINE to look at her bedtime messages from the previous night, that she finally said goodnight to Alex and asked for a goodnight kiss voice message.

She then realized that these were all real events—oh, from the moment they went public with their relationship, everything after that really was just a dream.

Because she looked very tired when she got home last night, and today is the weekend and she doesn't have to go to school, Ai-yin's mother didn't wake her up for breakfast. By the time Ai-yin finished washing up and walked into the living room, it was almost lunchtime.

The food that Mom prepared with love should not be wasted.

So, Aine, who had planned to go to the hamburger shop for lunch before noon, had to stay home and eat with her mother.

After that, she dawdled for a long time, changed into the clothes she was most satisfied with, studied Miaomengqin's videos for a long time, and chose a date makeup that was said to be sure to make her lover fall in love before she was finally dressed up and went to the burger shop.

Naturally, this time of day on the weekend is the peak time for shopping in the commercial area, and there are long queues at the burger shops, all of them filled with customers waiting to order and pick up their food.
