Chapter 4: What to do next?
In a small apartment on the 4th story of a dilipated apartment block, a catgirl sits at a table in her run-down apartment, with flattened ears and drooping tail. She has teary eyes, as she reluctantly eats the salad and vegetables, which are sprawled around on the table.
(╥﹏╥)
Aoi had failed. After a long time trying to get the demon fish down of its throne, she never got further than touching it. She tried everything!
But after a while, her growing hunger left her only one option. Eating the salad and vegetables on the lower shelves of her refrigerator. Not something she wants!
“Who put the good things on the unreachable top shelf, while keeping the bad food in the lower ones?!”
Aoi thinks to herself as she continues to eat her vegetables. She feels like everyone is mocking her. First the system and now the yummy fish. All of them are just evil!
She once again glances at the big fish sitting in her still open refrigerator. One day, this fish will land in her mouth and nothing will hinder that!
(╬≖_≖)
After some time munching on her vegetables with an unwilling face, Aoi climbs down from the chair and puts her dishes away. After approaching the refrigerator and giving the demon fish a last stubborn glare, she hesitantly closes the door, postponing the battle against this demon lord to another time.
The first morning rays fall in through the window, while Aoi now stands in her living room, unsure how to proceed next. Tomorrow, lectures start once again, but how will she explain that she now looks nearly completely different, with only slight semblance to her old self?
Even the cause of this unwanted transformation, the annoying system, isn’t even here to help her out. Hopefully that thing will reappear soon, or she really has a problem. Without its help, she can’t turn back.
And what about clothes? All her previous clothes are now completely oversized, with nothing useable to go outside. She can’t just go out in clothes that are comically oversized. She would just get weird looks!
But luckily, after a while of extremely focused brainstorming with her little head, she at least finds a solution for the second problem. If you can order groceries to be delivered to her home, there is surely a way to also get clothes online.
So, after fetching her old and nearly broken phone, she looks around for a measurement tape to at least roughly get her measurements to order fitting clothes.
After a while, she finds a long enough tape and after some struggle with an unruly tuft of hair, which relentlessly battles against her hand, trying to hold it down, she finally gets her measurements. A height of:
Exactly 139cm/4’6’’. One centimeter under 140cm. She purses her lips and frowns. This system really just wants to mock her.
But Aoi ignores this fact for now. She knew beforehand how short she was, so it’s unnecessary to get angry over it now. She is a mature dependent gentlemen, not some angry little orc that gets agitated over every small thing!
She opens her phone screen, but quickly notices the high difficulty of using it. Her hands are really too small… So, she can only search the internet slowly. Looking for nearby clothing delivery services.
After finding an acceptable one, that hasn’t astronomical high prices, she orders a simple blue sweater and pants.
The delivery site luckily estimates it to only take 10 minutes. Enough time for her daily morning shower. Aoi eagerly scurries towards the bathroom, as she is now completely proficient with her smaller legs.
She swiftly closes the door and instinctively starts undressing, anticipating the refreshing shower. But then, she notices her now completely naked body in the whole-body mirror and paused.
A blush creeps onto Aoi’s face as she observes his body. It looks just so soft and harmless, with no muscles noticeable, something she is completely unaccustomed with, seeing on herself.
But she also has some curves, adding an innocent type of charm to her explosive cuteness. She looks down at her breasts, blushing even more at the thought of touching them. Her face is now beetroot red, with her ears shyly twitching a little.
“No Aoi! This is temporarily your own body! You’re no pervert! Don't touch yourself!”
She says in her mind and quickly jumps into the shower to distract herself.
Aoi starts the shower and waits for the water to wet her hair. But it just takes so long… Long hair is just so annoying!
She doesn’t really have that long hair, but it’s still so annoying to wash. She can’t imagine how hard it would be, would she have really long hair.
So, when Aoi finally managed to wash her hair and body after a long time, she now leaves the shower, only to realize that drying would be just as annoying! This takes too long.
But then, the doorbell suddenly rings. Aoi looks on her phone for the time, to see that a whole 20 minutes have gone by washing her hair.
She starts to panic, unsure what to do, as she is still completely naked and wet. She didn't expect, it would take so long to shower. Why is her body just so inconvenient!
She can’t answer the door completely naked. But if she doesn’t, she won’t get her clothes and won't be able to leave her apartment... Aoi becomes overwhelmed, as she has no idea how to proceed. What is she gonna do?!
(ó﹏ò。)
After a moment of contemplation, she runs towards the living room to answer the door, while fiddling with her towel to at least cover herself a little bit.
She opens the door only with a small gap, hiding herself behind it to not reveal her naked body. After a moment of quite, she says timidly:
"H-Hello?"
Aoi's adorable and innocent voice fills her apartment and the corridor, stunning the delivery person. She checks the receipt, only to confirm that the receiver should be a mister.
That voice can't be one of a mister. But maybe, they just have a daughter, but she is still surprised, as normally, no family would live in so small apartments.
And why doesn't this seemingly little girl open her door properly? This delivery really is weird... But, remembering that she isn't supposed to be so curious about a customer and still has a job to do, the delivery person finally answeres after a few seconds:
"I have a package for 'Aoi Sato'. Am I right here?"
"Y-Yes that's m- Nyaaaa!"
( ˶°ㅁ°) !!
Just as Aoi was talking with the delivery lady, another blue screen of death appears right in her face, startling her to the extreme.
"I'm back little host! And... Are you going to worship me now for my benevolent deed? It must feel heavenly to be lucky enough to get such a perfect system as I am!"
