Chapter 112: Changed! But…

Lin Yu led Red Pupil up the stairs and finally arrived at her spacious bedroom on the third floor of the castle.

She breathed a sigh of relief after having Red Pupil close the door behind them.

Upon returning to the castle, the Stealth Ants had noticed them, but they ceased following after Lin Yu issued her command.

The girl leaped from Red Pupil onto the wooden bed.

The bed was merely covered with a thick layer of dry straw, which pricked at her feet.

Lin Yu frowned slightly.

She definitely needs to get a new bed! A big, soft one with a mattress!

But before that, clothes were more important. It would be quite uncomfortable to lie on a wooden bed covered with straw without any clothes…

Thus, Lin Yu connected to Stealth One using her "Unique Skill – Queen Ant."

"Mom, mother?!"

Stealth One seemed somewhat excited to be connected with her.

"Do you remember which house is Jilly’s?"

"I remember."

Hmm, her tone doesn’t seem as excited anymore?

"Tonight, I want you to search her room and bring back any clothes you find."

She should be able to wear Jilly’s clothes.

Although Jilly is ten and she is fourteen, her current body size isn’t much different from Jilly’s.

Why isn’t the body shape much different? Hmm… I wonder, perhaps children in this world develop faster than in the old world…

Yes, that must be it.

I’m not short!

But… it’s been three years since then, and I wonder how Jilly is doing now…

But since she hasn’t returned, it’s likely that she hasn’t found those two enemies yet, right?

Or… maybe she doesn’t plan to come back? It might be a bit hurtful, but Jilly didn’t have much to do with me anyway, so it’s possible she could forget about me…

…

"Yes, Mom."

The voice of Stealth One interrupted Lin Yu’s thoughts.

"Hmm."

"Mom…"

Just as Lin Yu was about to end the connection, Stealth One suddenly spoke up, sounding a bit hesitant.

"Why didn’t Mom let us in just now? We are Mom’s bodyguards; we should be by her side."

"Not for the next few days."

At least not until we get the clothes!

It was an accident when I was seen before, so there was nothing I could do. I’m not an exhibitionist; if possible, I wouldn’t want the other ants to see me like that!

"No… is that so…"

Stealth One hesitated again, then seemed to make up her mind and continued to ask.

"Mom… is Mom planning to do something with Sister Red Pupil in the bedroom?"

"Huh?"

Do something? What do you mean?

It’s obvious what two women alone in a room can do!

Alright…

No matter how perverse I might be, I would never lay a hand on my daughter.

Even though she’s only 14… Wait, if I include these three years, she should be 17?

Anyway, I can barely be called a mother to my daughter now, and a mother should never harm her daughter.

But Stealth One seems a bit unusual today; she hasn’t talked this much before.

…

"I didn’t do anything."

Lin Yu hung up the "phone."

Next…

She looked at the huge, dark Iron Armored Ant in front of her.

"Little Pupil."

Transform quickly!

Change for me fast!

Mom, I can’t wait any longer!

What? Wasn’t it said that you can’t harm your daughter?

I just want to see if my daughter is developing properly; this is a mother’s concern, it’s… maternal love! That’s right!

"Hmm, Mom."

Red Pupil responded and then activated her skill "Transformation."

Once the skill was activated, Lin Yu saw a faint glow starting to flicker on Red Pupil’s body.

Then, in the next moment, the huge Iron Armored Ant disappeared.

In its place was a young girl about ten years old.

The girl had long black hair that reached down to her small hips, a pair of red eyes like the girl beside her, and a cute, delicate little face. If you looked closely, you could see she resembled the girl a bit.

Although the little girl looked cute, her gaze gave a feeling that was not quite in line with her appearance.

…

"…Little Pupil?"

Huh… a little girl?

Lin Yu’s usually expressionless face finally cracked, revealing a look of surprise.

I thought Red Pupil would appear around my age after transforming, perhaps even a bit more mature…

But she looks even younger than Jilly?!

She seems to be half a head shorter than me.

But she looks so adorable… and somewhat resembles me; her eyes are exactly the same.

It really feels like I have a daughter now…

"Mom… Mom…"

Red Pupil seemed not quite accustomed to her human body; she attempted to speak, using Chinese, her voice still soft and gentle.

The little girl curiously examined her human body from top to bottom, touching it and comparing it with the girl in front of her.

Then, as if she had confirmed something, a lovely smile spread across her face.

"I did it."

"What?"

"When I activated my skill, I tried to imagine what my human form would look like, and to my surprise, it actually worked."

"Oh, I see…"

So, can she control her appearance, or was it just luck that she turned into the form Red Pupil desired?

But… why does Red Pupil want to become a little girl?

"Why do you want to look like this… Mom must be wondering about this, right?"

Ah! How do you know?

Without waiting for Lin Yu to respond, the little girl continued:

"Hasn’t Mom always been a bit scared of my large form when I was an ant?"

Sometimes I worry about accidentally being stepped on by you…

"And… Mom seems to really like that little girl named Jilly."

At this point, Red Pupil seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly touched her face while looking at the young girl.

"Mom, how do I look now?"

The voice of Red Pupil, who always seemed very composed, suddenly became tense.

She took two steps forward and got closer to Lin Yu.

"Do I look good? Does Mom like how Red Pupil looks now? And… how do I compare to Jilly?"

"… You look good."

Feeling the little girl’s eyes staring intently at her, Lin Yu awkwardly averted her gaze.

And compared to Jilly, Red Pupil was much more beautiful in appearance and skin.

"That’s great."

Although Lin Yu only answered the first question, a smile reappeared on Red Pupil’s face.

But soon she thought of something else and quickly asked the girl again.

"How about my body now, daughter? Do you like it, Mom?"

Body… really, what kind of question is that?

Really, I can’t help you.

Lin Yu took a quick glance.

It seems like there’s nothing to see.

Pfft, what the heck, Red Pupil doesn’t even seem like Class A.

"I like it."

I always feel cheerful.
