Chapter 60 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

### Chapter 60: Silent Spread After a brief rest, the system had Su Qi change into a different set of clothes—this time, cosplaying as Megumi Kato—and assigned her the task of cleaning. It was the first time Su Qi wore such a JK uniform, and every gust of wind made her feel on the brink of exposure. She couldn't help but think of certain anime where girls in JK uniforms were forced to attend school without underwear, their short skirts constantly at risk of revealing too much. After being caught once or twice and punished, they would eventually lose their sense of shame, growing bolder, until they... “Don’t take pictures from below!” Su Qi, blushing, warned the system. Unbeknownst to her, the system had already snapped a photo—capturing Su Qi in her skirt, her face tinged with a rosy hue, and the faint, tantalizing glimpse of her pink-striped panties. Afterward, another cosplay session as the Weak-Eared Sister ensued. The system had also installed an MMD animation on Su Qi’s phone, featuring the highly popular "Elysium Land." Despite her lack of dance skills, Su Qi managed to complete the task by simply mimicking the moves on her phone. She couldn't help but feel that things had gotten significantly easier! It was like the expression of a teacher hearing their students say that the problems were too easy during the third year of high school. At 8 PM, the system issued a new photo requirement. “Please wear the outfit of Senior Sister Mai Sakurajima and go to the bookstore to buy the first volume of 'Bless This Wonderful World'!” Holding the clothes that appeared out of thin air, Su Qi asked: “Can’t I request a different task?” “No, host. You can apply for a midterm cancellation, which would count as a contract failure, with no refunds!” The system replied swiftly, revealing its money-grubbing nature. “Do I really have to dress as a girl to buy books?” Su Qi asked, still unwilling to give up. The thought of walking around in female attire among people made her extremely embarrassed. Aside from being forced into girls’ clothes by her mother during early childhood, she’d never worn such outfits in public. “The host can choose to wear it to class tomorrow!!!” The system replied. Su Qi examined the outfit. If not for the bunny ears headband on top, she thought it could actually be worn to class. But the bunny ears were too conspicuous; picturing Aunt Liu’s explosive reaction made her hesitate. The outfit consisted of a simple white shirt paired with a striking red tie, a small light-brown vest, and a deep-brown coat. The summer variation included a pair of small leather shoes, a common green-and-black Japanese school skirt, and pantyhose. The black cotton underwear, too, matched the anime description, somewhat improving Su Qi's opinion of the system—it had quality goods, after all. While examining the pantyhose, Su Qi, once a man, felt oddly excited. It might just be a male trait, after all—to be intrigued by slightly long socks. Su Qi ran her fingers through her hair and realized it had turned into Mai Senpai’s long, straight, dark locks. With the countdown ticking, she had no choice but to proceed! Sitting in the chair, Su Qi first put on the black panties. Honestly, as a man, even going commando wouldn’t feel as awkward, but as a woman, the mere thought of not wearing panties or facing a breezy day sent chills down her spine, making her feel extremely vulnerable. After donning the smaller—that is, compared to her old boxers—black panties, Su Qi felt a newfound sense of security. She then slipped into the black bra, marveling at the adage, “practice makes perfect.” She recalled how long it took to figure out the bra during the Yosuga cosplay, but now, in less than a day, she managed comfortably in under 15 seconds. Did she actually have a knack for crossdressing? Next, she meticulously put on the sheer, black pantyhose, amazed at how such long socks could evoke countless images. Although it was her first time wearing these, various anime scenes featuring girls wearing over-the-knee socks had taught her the method. She bunched up one side of the pantyhose, then slowly rolled it over her delicate toes, ankles, calves, knees, and thighs. The sensation of her skin tightening under the hosiery, and her white skin turning enticingly mysterious beneath the sheer black fabric, incited an impulsive desire to tear away the restriction. Fully attired in the pantyhose, Su Qi stood up, experiencing a new, snug sensation. The pantyhose accentuated her leg lines, making her feel both elegant and astonished by how high they could stretch. However, she realized it would be quite inconvenient to use the restroom in these. After slipping into the skirt, she made sure to button the belt extra tight to prevent it from slipping down the silky stockings. She then corrected her mistake, realizing she should have worn the shirt first and tucked it into the skirt. Fortunately, this error merely required re-buttoning, unlike the laborious process of donning the pantyhose. Finally dressed, Su Qi gazed at her reflection, looking like Mai Sakurajima’s doppelganger, especially with the matching hairstyle. Wearing a pair of tidy, black leather shoes and taking deep breaths, Su Qi was about to head out when she heard the system’s urgent reminder, “Host, you haven’t put on the headpiece yet!” She looked at the headpiece: a pair of bunny ears, one standing upright and the other flopping adorably down. Putting it on, Su Qi felt an immediate transformation in her mirror image. But time waited for no one. With no more hesitation, Su Qi opened the door! The corridor was empty, much to Su Qi’s relief. She shuddered at the thought of neighbors seeing her in such an outlandish headpiece—it wouldn’t leave a good impression! Meanwhile, her neighbors, Wang Ziqing and An Ning, were in their apartment, staring intently at their computer screens, engrossed in their own activities. They each held a doll bound with peculiar ropes. Su Qi was relieved she didn’t run into them; otherwise, her embarrassment wouldn’t have just ended right there. To her relief, the elevator was empty. She anxiously hoped no one would step in as the elevator descended from the second floor to the first. Her concern grew as she wondered if anyone was waiting downstairs. ‘Ding!’ The elevator doors opened to reveal a dozen or so people focused on her. Overwhelmed by social anxiety, she froze. The onlookers were equally stunned. One person even dropped their briefcase to the floor! Was Su Qi beautiful? The answer was yes. But what truly captivated them was the inexplicable charm she exuded. The bunny ears, in particular, made her look adorably foolish. Someone in the crowd took out their phone and snapped a picture. Finally realizing what was happening, Su Qi covered her face and dashed out of the elevator. The sound of her little leather shoes hitting the floor echoed like a small rabbit scampering away in panic. Transfixed, the crowd silently watched Su Qi's retreating figure, lost in thought. As the elevator returned to the upper floors, the group was too engrossed to notice. Once Su Qi was out of sight, the person who had taken her photo glanced at it, more and more entranced by the bunny-eared girl. The crowd called another elevator, only to be disappointed when a normally dressed young woman stepped out, leaving them visibly let down. Confused by their reaction, she inspected her reflection on her phone, wondering if something was off about her appearance. As the elevator rose, everyone remained silent, each recalling Su Qi's shy demeanor. For an overworked office worker, nothing could be more restorative than seeing a wild bunny-eared girl! The person who had taken the photo then shared it on their social media: “After work today, I spotted an adorably shy, wild bunny-eared girl. So cute, I wish...” Picture.jpg Within seconds, the post was flooded with likes and comments, all asking which neighborhood he was in! The young man, a sales rep, was astounded by his clients' unexpected excitement. Thus, through that social media post, Su Qi's adorably foolish image began to silently spread.
