“Uwaaah!”
I screamed and shuddered. It was because cold water came out instead of warm water.
“Huh…”
It turned out that I hadn’t turned the faucet to the hot water side. I immediately turned it to the hot water side.
Then, warm water gushed out of the shower. I started washing my long hair as best as I could. Since my hair reached down to my waist, it took a long time to wash. When I was a guy, I could wash my hair in 5 minutes, but after becoming a girl, it seemed to take 2-3 times longer.
After washing my hair, I roughly wrapped it in a towel and came out of the bathroom. Outside, Haru was sitting on the bed waiting for me. I quickly approached Haru.
“Hana, sit here!”
“Okay!”
I sat down quietly in front of Haru. Haru carefully dried my hair with a hairdryer. I felt the warm air and entrusted my hair to Haru’s hands. I felt sleepiness creeping in. This was the time when I felt the sleepiest.
I had already eaten, and now my hair was being dried with warm air… I closed my eyes and felt Haru’s touch. But it couldn’t last forever. My hair was completely dry.
“What hairstyle do you want today?”
Haru was fiddling with my hair while speaking. Most of the time, Haru was the one who styled my hair. Today, I just wanted to go with a simple ponytail. It was the most convenient hairstyle.
“Just tie it up!”
“Okay, okay.”
As she said that, Haru took out a hair tie from somewhere and tied my hair up. With Haru’s touch, something resembling a ponytail appeared on me!
“Wow!”
I couldn’t hide my joy at the completed hairstyle. Of course, it would disappear by night, but still.
“Hana, I’m going to work now.”
“Bye bye!”
As Haru left the room, silence filled the air. It was now 9 AM, the time when most office workers started their day. Of course, for me, it was time to laze around after doing everything I needed to do.
I turned on my computer to start the day.
What I was about to do was important. I entered Lumi’s fan cafe and checked the event schedule. It was the best site for collecting Lumi’s goods, and they sometimes gave away goods as part of events.
I was browsing through the posts when one caught my eye.
[Important! Lumi’s Limited Edition Collection Coming Soon!]
My eyes sparkled. A limited edition collection? I had to have it. I moved my mouse and clicked on the post.
[You will now notice yourself blinking.]
[You will also notice the position of your tongue.]
[You will even notice your breathing.]
“Ugh!”
It was a really bad troll post. I immediately hit the report button. How could someone play such a mean prank! I prayed that the person who wrote this post would get what they deserved.
After messing around on the internet for a while, time flew by. As always, when you get absorbed in something, time passes quickly.
It was almost time for lunch. I held my hungry stomach and changed my clothes. As much as I loved my dinosaur pajamas, wearing them until midday felt a bit off. However, I didn’t like any of the other clothes.
“I don’t have any pants…”
Bora and Haru had noticed that I only wore pants and had removed all the pants from the simple wardrobe in my room. Of course, there were pants in another wardrobe, but I was too lazy to go there.
All I had was a skirt. With a heavy heart, I picked up a skirt. I paired it with a long-sleeved top with frills, making me look like a child dressed appropriately for my age.
Looking in the mirror, I saw a cute kid with chubby cheeks standing there with a blank expression. I wanted to see such a precious child, but being that child myself felt strange.
Anyway, after changing, I headed to the office. I planned to check on what the office workers were doing. Since I was responsible for their salaries, it was fitting for me to be their superior, right?
As I put on my shoes and headed to the office, I saw people busily working. For about ten people, the office was quite spacious. I started heading to Haru’s familiar seat. Haru was working on some documents with dual monitors. Others noticed me coming and waved to welcome me.
I also waved and gave encouraging greetings to the hardworking people. Haru seemed not to notice my arrival, focused on the computer monitor.
Hehe…
I slowly approached Haru from behind, like a sneaky cat. This was my chance to surprise her.
“Kwang!”
“Kyaak!”
Haru surprised me just as I expected, with a perfect reaction. That’s the kind of surprise that makes it fun, unlike Bora, who catches on too quickly and ruins the fun.
“Haru!”
I ran to Haru, who was sitting on a chair. Haru picked me up and said, “Hana, you scared me.”
“Hehe!”
There’s nothing better than sitting on Haru’s lap. Haru patted my head and said, “It’s already lunchtime? Did you come to eat with me?”
“Yep!”
Lunch was delicious pork cutlet, so I couldn’t miss it. The pork cutlet here was crispy and savory, with a sweet sauce that made it incredibly tasty. If they opened a restaurant outside, it would definitely be famous.
I snuggled in Haru’s arms and went to eat lunch. Breakfast was noodles, and lunch was pork cutlet—a perfect meal combo.
After eating with Haru, I returned to my room and started preparing for my next schedule. Not long after lunch, I went for a massage. There was a masseuse in the building, and I got a massage from them. It was the most anticipated time of the day.
The massage was so good that just receiving it made all the fatigue melt away, and I felt amazing. My body, already like a freshly assembled machine part, felt even better with the “oil treatment,” and I was bursting with energy.
Of course, when I returned from the massage, my room was spotless. The dust and hair on the floor had disappeared without a trace, and the toys scattered around were neatly organized in one corner.
I had my own routine for placing my toys, but I couldn’t complain about the cleaning. After the massage, I did a quick internet broadcast. Since I started going to school, the number of broadcasts has decreased. Maybe it’ll go back to normal during vacation.
After broadcasting for 2-3 hours, I turned off the computer and went to the lounge in the corner of the hallway. It was almost quitting time, so the employees were gathered there. The lounge was great because it had a variety of snacks.
It was a shame there was no break room, but this place served as a substitute. I approached a beautiful woman wearing an employee badge.
“Can you get this one for me, please?”
Unfortunately, the snack I wanted was out of reach, so I politely asked.
“Sure, sure. Will this be enough for Princess Hana?”
The woman handed me the snack I wanted. I smiled and nodded. I opened the wrapper and popped it into my mouth. It was best to avoid snacks since dinner was coming soon, but one wouldn’t hurt, right?
“Yum yum.”
Eating the delicious snack felt like having an appetizer. It was like eating a light snack before the main meal.
One snack wasn’t enough to fill me up. In fact, it made me hungrier, so I went to Haru for dinner. Luckily, Haru was on duty today, so we could stay together.
We entered the restaurant.
“Wow!”
For the finale, dinner was hamburger steak. I dipped the steak in ketchup-like sauce and ate it. Meat is the best. I wished there was a dream place where you could only eat meat, no vegetables.
“Hana, you got sauce on your mouth!”
Haru took out a tissue and carefully wiped the sauce off my mouth. I could’ve just licked it off.
“Yum!”
After finishing the steak without leaving a single bite, I was full. Feeling satisfied, I held Haru’s hand and returned to my room. Greeting the people leaving work was a bonus.
They’re going home, so I should spend the evening in my room too. Today, I planned to watch the final episode of “Little Magician Lumi.” Of course, it was divided into seasons, so today wasn’t the end. There were still many seasons left.
With a pounding heart, I went up to my room.
