She is NOT a cute catgirl!

Chapter 5: The System is back!



Aoi’s tail stands upright, stiff as a board. Her cat ears are perked up, with the fluff on both of them standing on end, while her pupils are widened into perfect big circles.

“Are you ok, did something happen?”

The words barely register as Aoi feels pressure against the half-opened door she hides behind. The delivery lady is trying to push it open!... Panic seizes Aoi as she realizes her bad predicament. She's practically naked in a body that's not even hers!

If she would see her like that, it would be completely catastrophical! Aoi reacts quickly, ignores the still present system-window and slams herself against the door to keep it half closed, her voice coming out in a panicked squeek.

“E-Everything is fine... Y-You don’t need to check on me! J-Just uh give me my package, please. I… I’m in a hurry…”

The delivery lady pauses, confused. Why was this little girl acting so weird? With a voice that cute, she must be adorable...so why hide? The delivery lady’s curiosity is piqued. Never before had she dealt with a customer this strange, and a tiny part of her really wants to sneak a peek.

She never felt this curious about a customer. But unfortunately, her delivery service has the policy ‘customer is king’. So she can only sigh in regret and reluctantly hold the package through the gap, waiting for the receiver to take it out of her hands.

"sigh... Alright, here is your package. I wish you a good day..."

Aoi does exactly that, swiftly snatching the package, before instantly closing the door while throwing out a quick ‘thank you’ as courtesy.

Aoi leans against the door and sinks to the ground, heart pounding. That was too close! The delivery lady nearly saw her naked!

She puts her ear on the door, waiting for the delivery lady to leave. As she hears steps going down the stairs, she finally relaxes and slumps to the ground breathing a sigh of relief.

( ˘ ^˘ )=3

But her relief is short-lived. That pesky system window is still there, floating obnoxiously in her vision. She scowls up at it, brimming with newfound determination...

Now it’s time to scold this evil antagonist! She puts the package away, stands up and focuses completely on the system with determined eyes.

“What were you thinking you lousy system!? You can’t just turn me into some tiny catgirl. I’m a big strong man!”

Aoi puffs herself up, trying her best to look tough, but the effect is… less than intimidating. In fact, the way she puffs up her tiny chest and curls her little fists only makes her look more irresistibly cute.

The system chuckles at this adorable display, but doesn’t answer directly with a system message. It was the right decision to give its new host this body. It just suits her perfectly...

“Stop complaining! I won't change you back! I wouldn't even be able to do it... I don't have enough energy anymore. It would need some time to restore."

Aoi clenches her fists agitatedly, making her look like a little petulant cat, as her temper explodes. Why is this system so annoying?!

(◣_◢)

“Now you did it! I'm going to punch you!"

Aoi catapults her clenched fists at the system window trying to harm it in some way.

And... it really worked?! While her fist still phases right through it, the system window flashes red, as if it just received some damage in a video game.

“Oh no!! (つ﹏⊂) My host has gone mad and is hurting me!! Now, I have no other choice than to submit... Mighty host, the next time I have enough Energy, I'm going to change you back, but please spare my humble self!"

Aoi can't believe it. Did she really make this evil and dominant system submit to her will just like that?! She looks down on her tiny fists in disbelief. Maybe... Maybe, the transformation gave her the power to vanquish evil systems and... she is a superhero now?!

Aoi's eyes begin to shine, as she pushes out her chest and a smug smile appears on her face. Who has the upper hand now?! You stupid system can do nothing against me! I'm the evil-system-banisher-super-man!

The system, watching Aoi’s over-the-top display, can’t help but chuckle to itself. This host is too easy to manipulate...

"Host, but to quickly gather energy, I need you to accomplish a quest for me. I made your new body have the same fingerprints as your old one. It also exhibits the same symptoms of the mutational TS disease, which was recently discovered. With a diagnosis of this disease, you will be able to attend school tomorrow without a problem and it will help me regenerate power. I can't tell you exactly how, as it's very complicated, but just trust me. I would never lie to my host that has the ability to hurt me, would I?"

“New Quest: ‘Go to the doctor, o mighty host’

Objective:

‘Go to the doctor and let yourself be diagnosed with mutational TS disease in the next 2 hours.’

Success:

‘white panties + bra’ 

Failure:

'-5 in every stat (except in cuteness & beauty)'"

Still basking in her self-proclaimed victory, Aoi glances over the quest details with that same smug smile as before. It seems like she has really tamed this system and it now shows it kind and cooperative side, it even helped with her identity problem!

She just needs to wait some time and she'll be back to her old body! Giddy with naive happiness, Aoi starts unpacking her new clothes while bouncing around with happiness.

The system watches her antics, both amused and bewildered. Does she really believe she will ever be able to turn back...?
