【You have a supernatural power to turn men into women, don't you?】

My heart skipped a beat as I read the message.

My face must have turned pale. Brother Feng Wu saw the message too, and his gaze toward me grew complicated.

"What power? What are you two talking about?"

【Oh, big bro, could you give us a moment?】

"Huh? What about the book signing event?"

【Let me talk to Kai first. We'll let you know once we've decided.】

Brother Feng Wu seemed like he wanted to say more. He opened his mouth but no words came out. He glanced at me, then at my sister's bedroom door, and finally took off his apron and retreated to his own room, leaving me alone on the living room sofa, chatting with Cangyu on my laptop.

Cold sweat trickled down the back of my neck. When did this get exposed? Was it at the Lose Moonlit Bar? Or the water park?

And since Cangyu is a diehard fan of Haitang, does that mean Haitang knows it too?

Could it have been Tangerine who told them?

No, Tangerine wouldn't betray me... probably.

【Say something】

【Stop playing detective in your head】

Seeing that I hadn't replied for a while, Cangyu typed to prompt me.

"When did you find out?"

Having my secret so easily uncovered cast a shadow over my heart, and my tone turned somber.

【During the bar infiltration】

【The student council prepared your gear】

【I installed a recording device in the belt buckle】

【I recovered all the audio from the bar】

【And the idol who faced off in the Aqua World finals with Sis Qiaojue】

【She was originally male, right?】

【That's amazing!】

It's been a while, so I can't recall exactly what I said at the bar, but she likely knows about Lei Meow Meow and Tian Xi too.

【Sorry for invading your privacy】

【But I found out one way or another】

"But it's not a superpower—it's divine power."

【I don't buy your religious mumbo jumbo】

【That so-called divine emissary Xiao Lei is just a front】

But it really is divine power...

【Whatever】

【The mechanics don't matter】

"Little Cangyu, can we talk in person?"

【?】

【Texting is more efficient】

【Talking face-to-face will affect my thinking】

【What, are you planning to silence me?】

"Of course not... Does anyone else know about this?"

Cangyu was silent for a moment.

【I think it's just me】

"Really?"

【Really】

【Afraid Sister Haitang will find out?】

【Why?】

【According to your religious spiel, aren't you using this power to help the unfortunate?】

"It's not fear, exactly. It's because we're close that I don't want her to know."

Well… at least that’s how I phrase it.

But even I haven't given up on my dream of saving the all-boys school!

Though it seems unrealistic now, someday I'll turn every student and teacher into girls and become the savior (and harem master)! Because I'm cautious, I haven't acted on the plan yet. If Zhao Zhao had gotten the magical girl notebook, hmph... this novel would've been banned already.

If Haitang finds out about the notebook, she'd deal with me before the plan even starts.

【I don't get it】

【Sis Haitang can help you a lot】

【Anyways】

【I won't press you further】

【But in exchange for keeping your secret, I need a favor】

"What kind of favor? Just so you know, I can't turn myself into a woman, so I can't transform and attend the signing event in your place."

【Not that】

【Can you turn my brother into a woman?】

【Just for tomorrow】

I think I get it.

"You want your brother to attend the signing event for you?"

【Half right】

Half?

【Can you use your power now?】

"I can, but it's really not a superpower. If anything, it's more like a curse."

As long as I know someone’s name and appearance, I can perform the deed. This Bishoujo Notebook is basically witchcraft.

【Do you need a voodoo doll?】

"No."

【Hair?】

"No."

【Nails, saliva, blood?】

"No, I'm not an actual witch."

At the water park, Cangyu came off as an unapproachable loner.

She had a perpetually annoyed expression, avoided trouble, and let Brother Feng Wu and me handle the barbecue. She spent the whole day glued to her handheld console or phone, never initiating conversation. Yet online, she's a chatterbox. Is this what they call a gap moe?

"Shouldn't you tell your brother first?"

【We act now, explain later】

This is looking more like "cut now, explain later", poor bro’s manhood—executed without trial. What a terrifying little sister.

After confirming that Cangyu wasn't peeking through the door, I glanced at Brother Feng Wu's bedroom, took out the black-covered notebook from my bag, wrote "Feng Wu" in pencil, and quickly put it back.

"Eek!"

With a girlish yelp, a petite... soft girl emerged from Feng Wu's bedroom. Yes, a soft girl.

Her worried brows, helpless eyes, slightly red nose, and gently bitten lips all exuded vulnerability. If that's not a soft girl, what is?

Maybe it's genetic. As a woman, Feng Wu's height now matched Cangyu's, making her look petite and adorable, with fair, delicate skin.

But unlike Cangyu's flat figure, her chest was surprisingly ample—possibly even surpassing Lei Meow Meow and rivaling Old Feng. Her previously loose T-shirt now stretched tightly, like it held two water balloons—definitely a baby-faced bombshell.

The only resemblance to the scruffy, bearded Feng Wu was their family's signature seaweed-like hair... which looked quite lovely as flowing long locks!

Her pant legs were now too long. Holding up the oversized pants, she stepped out of the room, glaring at me... though her beautiful eyes lacked any real intimidation.

"Chang Kai, did you do this?"

Referring, of course, to her transformation.

"Your sister asked me to... gulp."

She's now shorter than me, about the same height as Sayocho. Being looked up at with such a delicate gaze nearly gave me a heart attack.
I think Feng Wu is even cuter than Cangyu. It's deadly.

Oh, maybe I should call her Sis Feng Wu now.

But Wu(Martial) isn't a very feminine name. Let's change it to Wu(Dance), Mai sounds good, it’s Mai-chan then!

A message notification popped up on the notebook on the coffee table.

【All done?】

【That was fast】

【Let me see】

Cangyu cracked her door open, peeking out with an O-shaped mouth, astonished at the cute creature that was once her brother, and even exclaimed, "Yarimasune!"

Then she tried to retreat back into her room.

"Wait! Don't run!"

Mai-chan, now transformed into a girl by her sister, wasn't about to let this slide. She lunged at Cangyu, arms flailing, determined to catch her. At this point, who cared about being a siscon? She was a sister herself now!

But those baggy pants were a ticking time bomb. As Mai-chan took a step, they slipped down, tangling around her legs.

Unaccustomed to the new weight on her chest, she lost her balance and pitched forward. Her delicate face smacked against Cangyu's bedroom door with a dull thud, then she slowly slid down—seemingly knocked out cold.

There she was, face pressed against the door, butt sticking out in an awkward pose. That steadfast pair of men's underwear clung on, the last valiant defender of her dignity.

Damn that underwear. I couldn't decide whether to curse it or thank it.

"Whoa, bro, are you okay?" Cangyu flung open the door, panic-stricken, and rushed to her brother.

Mai-chan was too dazed to stand. Cangyu tried to lift her by the armpits, but lacked the strength.

I sighed, stepped in, took Mai-chan's arm, and supported her waist with my other hand. Her waist was so soft, it felt like my hand might sink right in.

“Xiao Cangyu, don't forget to pull up her pants."

"Oh! Right!" She seemed flustered, avoiding eye contact.

As expected, face-to-face interactions weren't her forte. I'd need to grind out some affection points to get her to open up more.

Just as we got Mai-chan onto the sofa, she groaned and came to. She looked at me, then at Cangyu, and suddenly pulled her sister into a catfight.

The two petite girls wrestled like playful kittens, with Cangyu thoroughly receiving a faceful of her sister’s chest... I'm so jealous.
Wait, is this what they call sisterly yuri?

Ah, the scent of citrus.

"Come on, bro, I'm just helping you out," Cangyu said, pushing against Mai-chan's chest to create some breathing room. "Now that you're a girl, you can attend the signing event yourself tomorrow, right?"

Attend the signing event herself? Wait... what?

"You're telling me Miyanaga Kohime is actually Brother Feng Wu?!"

Whether it was from being pushed in the chest or having her secret exposed, Mai-chan's face turned even pinker. She let go of her sister, sighed, and nodded.

"That's right. Dreamlike Fragrance was written by me."

"Submitting it under my sister's name made it easier with the publisher. Plus, 'teen female author' is a good selling point for the book."
