Chapter 2 Magical Girl from the Future
The girl was wearing a slightly loose sailor uniform with the collar slightly open, and her long, smooth silver hair was draped over her shoulders and back.
"You're back?"
The girl slowly raised her head, revealing a slight smile. However, beneath the smile lay a deep weariness.
"...Who are you?"
Most people would react with panic or anger if an extra person suddenly appeared in their home.
However, if this uninvited guest is a beautiful young woman with outstanding looks, then people's tolerance seems to increase quite a bit without them even realizing it.
"Wow! There's a stranger at A-Xin's house! Did A-Xin find a girlfriend behind my back? And a high school student at that?"
Before Shen Zixin could react further, He Yuran, who was standing to the side, had already made a slightly exaggerated gesture.
"...Stop messing around, I don't know who this person is either."
Shen Zixin rolled her eyes at He Yuran, then looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her.
"Tell me, who are you and why are you in my house?"
"Well, it's a little complicated to explain." The girl slowly stood up from the sofa, paused for a moment, seemingly organizing her thoughts—
"Simply put, I am you, Shen Zixin. Except, I am you who traveled from the future to the present."
"???"
Shen Zixin felt completely bewildered.
Suddenly a beautiful girl appears in your house and says something completely absurd like she's from the future...
Shen Zixin looked the girl up and down. She was wearing a high school sailor uniform and, judging from her appearance, looked to be about 18 or 19 years old.
"Young lady, I don't know how you got into my house. Can you tell me the truth?"
The girl half-closed her eyes, as if deep in thought, then slowly spoke: "...It is indeed a bit troublesome. For ordinary people, this kind of thing seems rather difficult to accept."
...No normal person would take this seriously, right?!
"Well then, how about this?" The girl seemed to have thought of something, and she crossed her arms in front of her chest—
Study material: Indefinite integrals.
"Huh?" Shen Zixin was stunned. This isn't...
An ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
"Key Exam Points in Probability Theory, First-Year Physics Lab Report —"
"Stop, stop, stop—!" Shen Zixin, drenched in sweat, could no longer remain calm and immediately stopped the girl.
These... these are all the folder names he used to save special videos!
He chose these seemingly unrelated file names to avoid other family members accidentally discovering these embarrassing things when using his computer.
"Ah Xin, what's wrong? You look really nervous." He Yu Ran was a little confused by his reaction.
How could I not be nervous? If I let her continue, she'll probably start talking about her browsing history.
Shen Zixin pondered to herself.
"How about that? Do you believe me now?" The girl looked at Shen Zixin's reaction and revealed a slight smug expression.
Even if you can say those things... but look at you now...
Shen Zixin wasn't someone who would be easily fooled by such simple words. What if her sister had discovered the secret in her folder and then deliberately found someone to conspire to play a prank?
This is very much something she would do.
"Oh, you mean how I look now?" The girl seemed to understand something and nodded. "Indeed, I look a bit too young. But I'm actually 35 years old."
"That's not what I meant. I meant, you look—"
"Yeah, you think I've gotten shorter, right?" the girl continued, "Girls are usually a little shorter, so don't have any prejudice against them because of their height—"
"Wait a minute!"
Shen Zixin finally lost his temper. He was certain the other person was deliberately changing the subject. "What I want to ask is, why a girl?! What happened to me in the future?"
"Is there a problem with that?" The girl tilted her head slightly. "You don't need to worry about such details."
"This is a huge problem! How could we not care?!"
"That's right! The problem is indeed very big!"
He Yuran chimed in, her expression serious as she strongly agreed: "If Axin turns out to be a girl in the future, we can still get married, but we won't be able to have babies!"
He Yuran spoke in a serious tone, but her focus seemed to have drifted in a strange direction.
Shen Zixin no longer wanted to pay attention to He Yuran's commotion. "In the end, your claim of being 'someone who traveled from the future' is just your side of the story."
"If you want me to truly believe you, you at least have to tell me what kind of things will happen in the future that will make me... become like you now, right? There has to be a reasonable explanation, isn't there?"
"I just can't do anything with you." The girl sighed softly, then stretched out her slender right hand, softly chanting, "Bloom, my heart's flower—"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling white light burst forth from her body, instantly filling the entire living room with its intense radiance.
At the same time, a powerful turbulent current rushed towards them, whipping up the girl's cascading silver hair, sending it flying through the air. Her sailor uniform, enveloped in light, began to gradually dissipate.
When the light faded and Shen Zixin could open her eyes, the girl in front of her had changed into a gorgeous dress with red and white tones.
It was an exquisitely designed dress, simpler than a regular Lolita dress, yet still exuding maturity and elegance.
The most eye-catching feature is the perfectly placed open-chest design, which perfectly reveals the girl's amazing "northern hemispheres".
Coupled with her long, slender legs encased in white pantyhose, the overall tone is bright and cheerful, giving off a feeling that is both sacred and alluring.
Shen Zixin couldn't help but look at the girl's breasts—they were quite impressive.
Just now, when she was wearing that relatively loose sailor uniform, I hadn't noticed at all that she possessed such strength. Now it seems she's basically on par with He Yuran.
The girl, having completed her transformation, wore a confident and composed smile, her deep red eyes sparkling with brilliance.
"As you can see, I am a magical girl named Shen Zixin."
"Ah, but considering that there's already a 'Shen Zixin' in this era, to avoid unnecessary confusion, you can just call me by my magical girl codename—'Noah'."
Noah looked at the two of them: "I traveled from 12 years in the future to the present. And my purpose in coming here is to save this world that is about to be destroyed."
"Save...the world?"
The girl's sudden remark stunned Shen Zixin. The topic had jumped a bit too quickly, catching him off guard.
"What the hell?" He Yuran, standing to the side, revealed obvious disdain and skepticism, raising a series of questions—
"Even if you're a magical girl, it doesn't mean you're A-Xin from the future."
"Besides, magical girls can only be female. After all, A-Xin is a boy. It's impossible for him to become a magical girl, right?"
"Someone travels from the future to the present to save the world...? Is there some major crisis looming in this world?"
"I'm an exception, you know," Noah said, hands on her hips, looking somewhat smug.
"Even looking at the whole world, I am currently the only male who can transform into a magical girl."
"If you still don't believe me, I can help 'my past self'—that is, you, Shen Zixin—awaken as a magical girl and let you experience the feeling of transformation firsthand. Then you won't have any more doubts, right?"
He Yuran said with a sheepish face, "Although the profession of magical girl is considered rather secretive and special in the public eye... aren't all magical girls' awakening processes self-awakening?"
The basic principles behind how magical girls are created are already well known to the public.
Generally speaking, girls aged 10 to 18 have a very low chance of awakening themselves and becoming magical girls under some unknown circumstances.
Once a new magical girl appears, the global human defense agencies will respond swiftly, contact her immediately, and strive to incorporate these precious new forces into the battle to protect the order of human society as quickly as possible.
As we currently understand it, there is no way to artificially induce or trigger the birth of a magical girl.
Who has the aptitude to become a magical girl, and how they awaken, is entirely random.
"This is an outdated theory from over a decade ago."
Then, as if remembering something, Noah added, "Ah, sorry, that is still a modern theory for people of your time."
"In my time, relevant research had proven that as long as someone has the corresponding qualifications, even if they have exceeded the generally accepted upper age limit for awakening, they can awaken as a magical girl through external stimulation."
"Later research has found that many people are actually born with the potential to become magical girls, but for various reasons, most of them are unable to achieve self-awakening through their own power throughout their lives, which is undoubtedly a huge loss."
"Of course, since I am already a magical girl, 'myself'—that is, you right now—definitely possesses this qualification."
Then, Noah reached out and grabbed Shen Zixin's wrist, then gently placed Shen Zixin's hand on her chest—
"It's still early. Once I can turn you into a magical girl, you should believe me, right?"
He Yuran, standing to the side, widened her eyes and pointed a finger at Noah:
"Hey! That's sexual harassment! Let go! Even I only held hands with Ah-Xin when we were kids and didn't know anything!"
"Cough cough," Shen Zixin coughed twice, struggling to break free from Noah's grasp.
"I understand the magical girl part now. So, what about saving the world that you mentioned earlier?"
"Ah, you mean that?" Noah's voice was relaxed and calm, and it was impossible to tell that she was talking about the "destruction of the world".
"Simply put, the future world is basically beyond saving; it can be considered completely destroyed."
"In my time, the future world had been completely ruled by an evil organization. Human cities had become hell, and all resistance was ruthlessly crushed."
"And we magical girls who once symbolized hope and protection, almost all of us... well, in terms you can understand, have been 'corrupted,' completely fallen and degenerated, becoming henchmen of that organization."
Noah's voice remained calm, but Shen Zixin saw an indescribable sadness deep in her eyes.
