My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Lin Guang walked over and stared at the photos with those cherry-red eyes.

The pictures weren’t mounted in any professional frames, just pinned up with thumbtacks or stuck on with cute stickers.

Almost all the photos were landscapes.

There were fields glowing golden under the setting sun, towering buildings with traffic streaming by, cobalt coastlines under summer storm clouds, and stray cats lazily sunbathing in unnamed alleys.

Though the composition and lighting didn’t show any deep technical skill and sometimes felt a bit naive, and the image quality wasn’t high—looking like they’d been taken with a phone—each photo exuded a natural, clear texture that made viewers feel calm.

Sensing Lin Guang’s slight daze, Su Fang gave a little laugh.

“You don’t remember Kazenari Town anymore, do you, Senior? Perfect, I go out to take pictures every weekend!”

“Look, this is the most famous statue on Second District…”

She sat at the desk and chattered away, introducing various spots around Kazenari Town as if trying to jog her memory.

After a while, Su Fang seemed to realize something, sniffed lightly, and stuck her tongue out in embarrassment.

“Sorry, Senior! Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you tired?”

“You just had that intense fight with those monsters, your magic power must be nearly gone, your body sticky and all sweaty with dust, you must want a bath!”

Lin Guang’s scattered, absent gaze refocused, moving from the photos to Su Fang.

What she said was true.

Even with a full stomach, her current state wasn’t good—if anything, she felt even more unwilling to move.

Today was the first time she had experienced magic power exhaustion—more precisely, the first time she had survived after her magic power was drained, and only then did she notice some of its nature.

Magic power was subtle, seemingly tied to the mind, and the recovery speed was slower than she expected. Perhaps it wasn’t something that would simply recover by sitting still.

She truly needed a thorough rest to regain combat strength, otherwise she would remain uneasy.

Su Fang grabbed Lin Guang’s hand and excitedly pointed toward the downstairs bathroom, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “Let’s go! The hot water should be ready, let’s take a bath together!”

A hot bath would indeed help restore energy and improve sleep—this was...

Wait, what did she just say?

Su Fang said naturally, “My bathtub is huge, two people fit just fine!”

Huh?!

In that instant, the cherry-haired girl’s pink eyes widened a little, and the precision-running Precision Operation Engine in her soul seemed to stall, raising her guard.

—Wait, galgame isn’t supposed to be like this!

In galgames, Su Fang should be raising her affection by all sorts of means like Xia Yao, accumulating tally marks in the visual novel before gradually shortening social distance. Only after certain thresholds would a request to visit her home even be proposed, and even then acceptance wasn’t guaranteed.

Even so, agreeing to bathe together with Xia Yao, and especially to play that boyfriend game that God knows what demands it would make, would be worlds away—probably a lifetime of unlikelihood!

How could Su Fang, just met today, immediately try to unlock her special CG?!

This—this isn’t right?!

“By the way, Senior, do you remember what taking a bath is?”

Su Fang continued explaining to herself, raising a finger and striking a mentor-like pose. “After cleaning your body, soak in hot water, clear your mind, and you’ll relax both body and soul.”

“Don’t underestimate bathing. What’s the ideal water temperature, how long should you soak, and how much chilled strawberry milk to drink afterward to feel good… there’s so much to it!”

Then she realized she couldn’t pull Mengmengxiang’s hand.

“…What’s wrong?”

Seeing the cherry-haired girl frozen in place and not being dragged along, Su Fang looked puzzled and then tentatively asked, “Could it be, Senior, you don’t want to bathe with me?”

“…”

Lin Guang didn’t reply, but that was an answer in itself.

“Eh—?”

The excitement that had been lighting Su Fang visibly dimmed.

She let go of the hand and bowed her head slightly, her big green eyes crestfallen. “I was hoping we could scrub each other’s backs and chat about magical girls…”

“…”

The sincere expression and words in front of her made Lin Guang fall silent again.

It made sense.

She wasn’t the original body, but a magical girl. So Su Fang wasn’t trying to unlock a special CG so much as engaging in normal interaction between magical girls, a story progression device typical in the anime—used to deepen friendship and draw out information. Refusing might even hinder plot development…

So perhaps she had been overly cautious and misjudged the type of story?

At that moment, Su Fang keenly caught Lin Guang’s hesitation, and her face lit up. “Hehe! I knew you wouldn’t refuse, Senior!”

She ran to the wardrobe and quickly rifled through a pile of colorful fabrics.

“We’re about the same size, my pajamas will definitely fit you!”

She held up two nightgowns against Lin Guang, eyes sparkling with the delight of a dress-up mini-game. “How about this one? Pink lace trim, or this one? Pure white with a little bow at the neckline, silky and so comfy! Oh, and this one with little bear prints…”

Lin Guang finally snapped back to reality and looked at Su Fang, who now wore an expression that was hard to refuse, and at the garments full of frills, lace, and cartoon patterns.

She hesitated and pointed to a relatively plain white one. “…This one, please.”

“Eh~”

Su Fang seemed a little disappointed but said nothing further. She stuffed the pajamas into Mengmengxiang’s arms, then pulled out two sets of underwear, holding Lin Guang by the hand as she excitedly ran toward the bathroom.

“Even if you don’t remember anything, Senior, it’s fine. I’ll scrub you clean!”

...

Steam filled the bathroom.

One hour later.

As the bathroom door slid open, a rush of warm, humid air scented with shower gel poured out.

“Phew… so nice! Baths are the best!”

Su Fang wiped her wet hair with a towel, sighing with satisfaction. She wore the pink lace nightgown; the blue jewel brooch still clung to its place like a magnet, and her cheeks were flushed a healthy red from the steam. She turned to look into the bathroom.
