【Name.】

"...Su Tianqing."

A clear, melodious female voice echoed from the dimly lit room, along with a deep voice that seemed to come from a distant place.

Su Tianqing sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the ancient black book floating in mid-air. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the full-length mirror beside the bed and caught a glimpse of a petite, unfamiliar figure—

Her long, radiant golden hair cascaded down her shoulders and back, and her fluffy ears drooped on her head, bobbing slightly with each unintentional movement, contrasting beautifully with the delicate features and eyes beneath her bangs.

The fair skin on her neck and shoulders reflected the sunlight streaming through the gaps in the curtains, making one want to look at it a few more times.

A petite golden fox girl.

If you add the big, bristling tail on its back, this should be a well-behaved and adorable fluffy golden fox.

Hmm... I see...

The low voices in the room sounded again, drawing Su Tianqing's attention back to the black ancient book in front of her.

Su Tianqing was somewhat bewildered.

Five minutes ago, after finishing three consecutive night shifts, I was sitting at a noodle stall on the street, slurping up a bowl of deluxe beef noodles with a fried egg. I was adding chili powder to the bowl when I suddenly heard my great-grandmother speaking behind me. In a daze, I turned around and saw my great-grandmother sitting in a wicker chair, leisurely weaving a scarf. Then, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, my vision went black, and I passed out.

Looking at the big, fluffy tail swaying beside her, Su Tianqing reached out and gave it a hard tug.

An incredibly smooth and wonderful touch came from my hand, followed by an unfamiliar rubbing and pulling sensation that shot from the tip of its tail straight to the top of its head, startling its ears so much that its entire body tensed up.

Such a realistic feel!

What are you doing?

The black ancient book uttered a low voice, not quite understanding why the fox in front of it would suddenly use such a strange method to pull its own tail.

Doesn't it hurt?

"Ahem! Wait a minute, just a moment!"

Su Tianqing coughed twice to cover her embarrassment, reached out to stop the strange ancient book in front of her from continuing to speak, and quickly sorted out her thoughts with a quick glance.

I was reborn.

She was reborn as a golden-haired fox girl.

So what's with this black, talking book in front of me? Can someone explain it to me?

"Who are you?" Su Tianqing turned her head to look at the book in front of her and asked blankly.

The ancient book remained silent for a while, as if pondering whether the dull-witted fox before it was the person it was looking for. After a long while, it repeated its opening remarks from two minutes earlier:

【I am Mercury's Codex, and I have traveled from beyond the stars to find my most suitable candidate.】

And that person is you, Miss Su Tianqing.

After hearing those ridiculously cheesy lines again, which were so cringeworthy they could make you dig a three-bedroom apartment with your toes, Su Tianqing fell into silence and thought once more.

Then, Fox suddenly jumped off the bed, walked to the full-length mirror, and silently looked at the petite figure in the mirror wearing a loose nightgown.

Then she lifted one foot and carefully admired the fair, soft, and rosy little foot.

Yes, perfect, absolutely exquisite.

It seems you're quite satisfied with your current physical condition.

Seeing the fox intently admiring the toes, Gu Shu was speechless for a moment, and only managed to utter this sentence after a long pause.

But why are you staring at your feet? Normally, it shouldn't be like that...?

"You don't understand, bound feet are the most beautiful treasure in the world. Seeing them while eating makes you want to eat two more bowls of rice."

While answering the ancient book's questions in a seemingly irrelevant way, Su Tianqing had gained a general understanding of the current situation.

This book knows it's not the original owner of this body, could it be...?

Since you're so satisfied, we can fast forward to the next step.

The ancient book says that Su Tianqing, who was engrossed in admiring the fox's body, was brought back from her madness and turned to face it.

Listen, Su Tianqing.

You are the perfect candidate for the Mercury Codex. As an astral messenger, I will guide you to a perfect life, and all you need to do is sign a small contract with me—

"Okay, I'll sign."

【……ah?】

The ancient books were slightly disordered.

【No, you're not playing by the rules! How can you just sign a contract like that? Didn't you even hesitate and think about it?】

"That shows how narrow-minded you are, you little rascal." Su Tianqing's expression suddenly turned serious, making Gu Shu momentarily forget the strange address he had just used.

"I ask you, what are the two most universal wishes in the world?"

"Which two?" the ancient book asked blankly.

The golden fox bent down, extended two fingers, and gently waved them twice in front of the black ancient book, causing its fluffy tail to sway as well.

"Inexhaustible wealth! And becoming a loli! These are the two most universal wishes in the world!"

Su Tianqing opened her arms wide, her eyes shining.

"Becoming a loli is the greatest reward in itself, let alone such an adorable fox!"

silence.

Something seemed to make sense, yet something seemed completely wrong. But the ancient book didn't linger in this brief confusion for long; it quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Since you've agreed, is our contract now considered valid?

"It's established." Su Tianqing replied without hesitation.

But after a moment, Fox suddenly realized something and asked curiously:

"Um...can I ask about the specific details of the contract?"

It couldn't be that some strange slave contract was activated! That would be a huge loss!

[A villainous magical girl.]

Without the slightest pause, the ancient book stated this.

"what?"

[Now that the contract has been signed, from today onwards, you will become a magical girl and roam the world. The Creator has tailored a complete set of tasks for you to help you gradually rise to the top as a villainous magical girl!]

"Wait a minute! What's with the magical girl thing?! Is it one of those high-risk professions with a 90% mortality rate?!"

Don't worry, it's the classic "royal road" style.

"That's not right at all! Being the villain in a classic shonen story is just plain suicide!"

Su Tianqing suddenly felt a little regretful.

What is a "royal road" story? It's a story where magical girls gradually grow stronger in the face of powerful enemies, and then, shouting about friendship and bonds, charge in and crush the villains! Even if the villains have systems and missions, it's still difficult for them to crush the protagonists in a "royal road" story!

Is there any chance for me to change my mind? Can I be sent back to my original body? I feel like there's still a chance to save someone with an acute myocardial infarction—

[Mercury Codex successfully bound.]

The voice that echoed in her mind made Su Tianqing want to cry but had no tears.

The contract is established.

[Let's embark on the path of a villainous magical girl, Su Tianqing.]
