Chapter 59 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
**Chapter 59: Little Witch Su Qi** An hour later, Su Qi watched in astonishment as the clothes on her body disappeared like magic. A breeze blew past, brushing against her tender, exposed skin. She felt a chill beneath her and an overwhelming sense of vulnerability. In a hurry, she slipped on the sweatpants of her hoodie set, wrapped the stockings around her chest, and then put on the hoodie. Only then did she feel significantly better. “Did the system capture any good photos? I didn’t even pose. Don’t most cosplayers strike cutesy poses like pouting or cocking a leg?” Su Qi asked. Fake, theatrical performances can never match the charm of natural innocence. “Of course, the photos turned out great. Anyone will immediately recognize you’re cosplaying as Sora’s sister!” Although the initial shots were fine, the system quietly kept the rest to itself. “Where are the photos? I want to see. I was thinking I might share some perks with my group members! After all, being a manga artist and H-game designer, if it’s just normal cute photos, it might not even attract their attention!” Su Qi said. However, her idea of slightly teasing the group members and the system's latest shots had quite a disparity in scale! “The photos will be released together at the end. Viewing them in advance might affect the subsequent shoots. Please understand. This system has thoroughly considered the host's position, taking her descriptions into account,” the system responded in a low, professional tone, sounding like a butler. Hearing its unusually formal tone, Su Qi became suspicious and asked, “Are they not over-the-top photos? I’m telling you, system, I won’t do anything illegal, and I definitely won’t allow myself to be totally embarrassed!” “What do you mean by 'over-the-top'?” “It means no exposing breasts or buttocks, and absolutely no sensitive parts!” Su Qi blushingly said these words, her heart racing. “Don’t worry, none of those phenomena occurred in the photos just taken!” “Really?” “Really, really, Su Qi, this system has never ‘spoken’ to deceive you!” the system assured, hearing the doubtful tone in her voice. “You usually con me in silence, and since you’re emphasizing 'speaking,' I’ll trust you this time!” Su Qi said, her tone dripping with disdain. The system made no rebuttal, remaining indifferent. When Su Qi was ready to start her sword dance practice with her manual and soft sword, a piece of clothing suddenly landed on her head. “Since the host has finished resting, it’s time to start the second photo shoot. Please wear the costume and complete two rounds of climbing from the 1st to the 15th floor within an hour!” As the system finished speaking, a one-hour countdown appeared above Su Qi’s head. Holding the manual in one hand, the soft sword in the other, with her yoga mat laid out on the floor, and the costume hanging on her head, Su Qi was certain the system was doing this on purpose!!! This time, the role was Elena. With her experience of wearing feminine clothes for Sora’s sister cosplay, Su Qi deftly put on Elena’s cotton triangle panties. Compared to the silky sensation of lace panties, she preferred the warmth and security of the old-fashioned cotton ones. After tying up her two perky little bunnies, she found bras to be far more comfortable than stockings. Those little bunnies seemed to revel in their snug cups, resting softly with no movement even when she fidgeted. Su Qi couldn’t help but think the bra designer was a genius. It added both beauty and comfort!!! Slipping into Elena’s distinctively witchy attire, completing the look with a pair of pointy leather shoes featuring small heels, which were manageable, and donning the exaggeratedly large witch hat, Su Qi admired herself. She had always liked oversized hats, be they witch hats or straw hats! Now, she felt it looked particularly good on her head, especially with Elena's white hair as a beautiful contrast. “Does the system sell this hat alone?” Su Qi inquired. “28,000. Would the host like to buy it?” The system quickly added, “In stock!” 28,000… never mind. Su Qi knew the system was pricey, but this was extreme. She reconsidered and asked, “Then how much for the complete outfit?” “29,000!” Su Qi: ??? Before she could retort, the system began reminding her. “Host, you have 45 minutes left to complete the task. According to this system’s calculations, if you delay another three minutes, there’s a high probability you won’t be able to finish the two rounds of stair climbing!” Hearing the system, Su Qi remembered she still had the climbing task to do. She recalled an incident during her freshman year when she helped her programming teacher Wu Liang and had to go up and down from the 1st to the 9th floor several times due to a broken elevator. Now, it was just two trips; it shouldn’t take 45 minutes. She wasn’t that weak! It was only 15 floors, twice. It wouldn’t take 45 minutes! Clacking down the stairs in her witch shoes to the 1st floor, it took her just three minutes. With 42 minutes left on the countdown, she confidently started climbing back up. She quickly reached the 10th floor, breathing a little harder, her chest heaving. Her pace slowed, but with 35 minutes left, she felt time was ample. She chuckled, thinking the system probably scared her about the time due to her previous complaints about its extortionate prices! Didn’t expect you to be scared! Reaching the 15th floor, she was panting heavily, small beads of sweat forming on her nose and trailing down her neck covered by her long hair, silently slipping into her clothes. With 30 minutes left, Su Qi felt victorious. As she prepared to descend from the 15th floor, her knee suddenly went weak. Thankfully, she gripped the railing, preventing a tumble, but it scared her, making her break out in a cold sweat. No longer careless, it took her five minutes to get back down. “Whew... whew...” Finally reaching the 1st floor, Su Qi pressed her knees together, gasping for air, her small, flushed face from exercise glowing radiantly. After resting for about a minute, Su Qi glanced up at the staircase. Her legs felt weak, but watching the ticking countdown, she bit her lip. A man shouldn't say he can't! Her delicate eyes hardened, feeling a surge of determination. From the system's perspective, it was a different scene. Her wide, clear eyes looked even more pitiful when glaring, making the system momentarily think she was about to act spoiled. And the cutest aspect was her legs beneath the skirt—now weak, with her knees together, clutching the railing, presenting a helpless image. So adorable, hard to resist. Click. The system captured a unique angle, appearing as if someone were behind Su Qi, with Su Qi struggling to endure something! Finally, with just ten seconds left, Su Qi burst through the door, barely making it. If you had a naked beautiful girl at your door, what would you choose??? Su Qi had seen lots of these types of AVs. (This photo will not be released, dear readers, rest assured.)
