Chapter 42: Becoming a Woman (Part 1)

The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of someone furiously knocking on the door.

"Alice! Alice! You're going to be late!"

That voice snapped me fully awake—and I immediately panicked as I took in my state and the condition of the room. I was stark naked, not a single stitch on, and my clothes were scattered everywhere. A sweet, cloying scent still lingered in the air, the aftereffect of last night's activities.

"I'm up, I'm up!" I called out.

The knocking stopped.

"Jeez, why'd you lock the door in the first place?"

"Sorry, Yuna! I’ll be down in a sec, just wait a bit!"

"...Fine. Hurry up, okay?"

Yuna seemed to have stepped away from the door after that, and I heard her descending the stairs. She probably thought something was off, but there was no way I could let her into the room looking like this.

First, I had to do something about this disaster.

Last night, I’d indulged in a pleasure I’d never known before. I’d climaxed multiple times and passed out from exhaustion right afterward.

I grabbed a fresh pair of panties I’d left by my pillow and put them on, then pulled on the pajamas I’d discarded nearby.

Next, I threw open the windows to let the air circulate. The crisp morning breeze tickled my nose.

I began straightening the messy bed.

"...Oh no, there are stains."

There were several spots on the sheets—souvenirs from last night. But with school starting soon, there wasn't much I could do about it now. Praying that Mom wouldn’t notice, I threw the comforter over it.

...I should probably start laying down a bath towel from now on.

While fixing the comforter, I found a balled-up pair of panties. When I picked them up, they were damp and heavier than they should’ve been. The visceral reminder of last night’s pleasure made a flutter stir in my lower belly again.

A little curious, I found myself reaching down to touch—

"...Ah—Ikuto-san."

“Hyii!?”

A voice echoed in my head, making me yelp and jump.

“I have a lot to say about this, but... more importantly, if you don’t hurry, you’ll be late.”

“R-right!”

I quickly stuffed the underwear into a plastic convenience store bag and shoved it into the back of my desk drawer. The washing machine was probably already running this morning, so I’d just clean them and toss them in with the next load after my bath tonight.

After that, I ate breakfast, got ready in the bathroom, changed in my room, and dashed down to the front door.

"...Thanks to you, Alice, we have to run again or we’ll be late," Yuna grumbled as I joined her.

Still, even as she complained, the fact that she waited for me meant she really was kind.

"Sorry, Yuna. I stayed up too late last night..."

I apologized while putting on my shoes.

"That's what you get for sleeping at weird hours. Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah... a little sleepy, though..."

On top of the lack of sleep, my body felt sluggish—likely due to, well, that and that.

"Serves you right. Alright, time to run."

"Got it."

Honestly, running was a bit rough right now, but Yuna was right—it was completely my fault. I had to suck it up and push through.

“Hold on a sec.”

Before stepping out the door, I cast Increase Physical (Small) on both myself and Yuna to boost our physical abilities.

“This should make running a little easier.”


We made it to school just in time. Thanks to the magic, I didn’t feel all that worn out from the run.
There was a small mishap when Yuna, not knowing how to control her pace, sprinted at a speed that slightly exceeded human limits—but it wasn’t anything major.

Classes passed peacefully. So peacefully, in fact, that I started to get sleepy.
The third period—Classical Japanese—was especially brutal. Just listening to the old poems being droned on and on made my eyelids feel heavier and heavier… slowly… gradually…

『Ikuto-san, you can’t fall asleep… you’re in class.』

『Mm… Alicia, you listen in for me.』

『I can’t! When your consciousness sleeps, mine goes with it!』

『…Can’t hold on…』

『Ikuto-san! Ikuto-san! …Geez, don’t come crying to me when the teacher gets mad!』

Listening to Alicia’s voice with a sleepy comfort, I let go of my consciousness.


—I started dreaming again.

Ikuto’s room.
Alicia and Ikuto sat side by side on the bed, awkwardly talking. It was obvious they were both super conscious of each other—it was the kind of scene that made you want to cover your face from secondhand embarrassment.

Eventually, Ikuto seemed to make up his mind and said something. Alicia froze for a second, then nodded silently, face completely flushed.

Ikuto kissed her.
Then, gently pushed her back onto the bed—


"…Ki… Kisaragi… Alice!"

A voice calling my name yanked me back to reality.

Yuna, in the seat next to mine, was shaking me.

…Crap.

"Y-Yes!"

I jumped up in a panic and responded.

"You’ve got some nerve falling asleep right after transferring… Wait, what is that!?"

At the teacher’s words, murmurs began to spread across the classroom.

What’s going on?

I felt something cold around my lower body and quickly reached behind with my left hand to cover my butt—
The skirt I touched was damp.

…D-Did I wet myself!?

Panicking, I looked at the chair I’d been sitting on—
The seat was stained red, like something out of a splatter horror film.

I could do nothing but stand frozen, dumbstruck by the sight I never imagined.

Then, I felt something trickling down the inside of my thigh, and lowered my gaze.

From beneath my skirt, a red line ran down my leg.
