“Don’t!”
“Come on~”
“Absolutely not!”
“Just for a little bit~”
“Not even for a little bit!”
Mu’en glared angrily, speaking firmly and with authority, looking as imposing as a hero who would never furrow his brow in the face of life-and-death crises, before huddling in the corner, shivering:
“A man, strong and mighty, absolutely will not do something so embarrassing!”
“Is that so?”
The senior, with a sense of regret, put away the little dress in her hand: “Since the junior isn’t willing, let’s forget it then.”
“Eh?”
Mu’en blinked in confusion.
When did the senior become so easy to talk to?
“What are you thinking?”
Seeming to see Mu’en’s thoughts at that moment, the senior playfully flicked her finger against Mu’en’s forehead:
“Do I seem like the type who would force my junior to do something he doesn’t want to do?”
“…That’s true.”
Mu’en scratched his head awkwardly:
“After all, the senior is so gentle.”
“……”
“Hmm? Is something wrong, senior?” Mu’en asked, noticing the senior’s somewhat dazed expression.
“It’s nothing…”
Anna smiled and shook her head:
“By the way, here’s something for you.”
Anna tossed a small vial to Mu’en.
“What is this?”
Mu’en curiously looked at the transparent, pure liquid in the vial:
“Another type of magic potion?”
“Yep, it is indeed a magic potion.”
Anna said: “But to be more specific, it’s the antidote for the kind of magic potion you drank.”
“Antidote?”
Mu’en froze for a moment, revealing a look of joy:
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Anna rolled her eyes, full of charm:
“Do I seem like the kind of woman who talks nonsense in front of my junior?”
“Uh… Sorry, senior, I got too excited.”
“Forget it, I forgive you. After all, I’m a broad-minded woman.”
“You’re the best, senior. You’re beautiful and kind-hearted; I like you the most.”
“Ha ha, I’m not like those young girls who would be charmed by your flattery.” Anna covered her mouth and laughed: “So let’s skip those words.”
“What flattery? This is my heartfelt truth.” Mu’en said seriously.
“Let’s treat it as your heartfelt truth.”
Anna tidied up her somewhat messy long hair from the earlier fight, casually tying the ends with a hair elastic and moving it to her front, then said:
“Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Eh, senior, you’re leaving just like that?”
“What else? The purpose of delivering the antidote to my junior has been achieved, and those disgusting bald men that mysteriously popped up have someone to handle them. Why should I stay here?”
“Or is it that…”
The senior suddenly leaned in close, the faint fragrance emanating from her stimulating Mu’en’s senses, her spring-like clear eyes gazing into Mu’en’s, slightly curved like crescent moons, revealing a hint of enchanting charm.
“Does my junior not want me to leave?”
“I…” Mu’en found himself blushing slightly.
“Pffft, okay, I won’t tease my junior anymore.”
Before Mu’en could react, Anna suddenly stepped back, slipping her hands behind her back as she walked into the darkness behind her.
“Well then, goodbye, Mu’en junior.”
“Alright then, goodbye, senior.”
“Ah, wait.”
The senior suddenly turned back:
“About that antidote, there are precautions to take when drinking it.”
“Precautions?”
“Correct.”
Anna’s expression was unusually serious, as if admonishing a patient on how much medicine to take: “You must take off all your clothes when drinking it; otherwise, something terrible will happen.”
“Drink it completely naked?” Mu’en was shocked: “Is there really such a bizarre magic potion? Senior, you’re not joking with me, are you? And what exactly is this terrible thing?”
“This… you’ll have to experience it yourself.”
Anna grinned mischievously and turned to leap into the darkness.
“Wait…”
Mu’en rushed to the window he had just crashed through to look outside, but in the dark behind the dormitory building, there was no one left.
“I feel like the senior left in such a hurry; did she forget to turn off the gas back home?”
Mu’en scratched his head.
Then he looked at the clear, seemingly harmless magic potion in his hand.
He suddenly felt a headache.
“So… should I listen to the senior’s advice or not?”
Mu’en shook the vial of magic potion, deep in thought.
“With the senior’s personality, she must be tricking me; there can’t be such a bizarre magic potion.”
Mu’en decided not to listen to Anna and directly unscrewed the cap of the potion, preparing to drink it all in one go.
But as soon as the vial reached his lips, he hesitated again.
If it were someone else saying such things, he would definitely think they were trying to fool him.
But if it’s the senior saying it…
Maybe she was just deliberately trying to make Mu’en feel that way.
The real trap would be after he drank the potion without undressing.
A layer of deception?
Mu’en couldn’t help but ponder.
But what if the senior anticipated that layer as well?
What if she just wanted him to embarrass himself? Maybe she was hiding somewhere now, secretly watching.
A trap within a trap?
“Just as expected of you, senior.”
Only you could make me, Mu’en Campbell, feel so flustered with just one line.
“Forget it.”
Mu’en gritted his teeth.
“Even if the senior sees me, so what? A big man like me is afraid of this?”
Mu’en felt he still had to be cautious.
Better safe than sorry.
So Mu’en took a deep breath and stripped down completely.
“Don’t look, don’t look.”
With his eyes closed, Mu’en tilted his head and drank the magic potion.
In an instant.
A fierce feeling of heat surged.
Crimson patches like fire appeared on Mu’en’s skin.
It seemed that something hot erupted within him, and wisps of white smoke emerged from the top of his head.
“So hot!”
Mu’en finally understood why the senior wanted him to take off his clothes.
She was telling the truth; this magic potion could not be consumed while clothed.
Because at such scorching high temperatures, if he were still wearing clothes, who knows what might catch fire!
Fortunately, this painful sensation was only for a moment; soon, Mu’en felt that something was missing from his body, and he felt much lighter.
Mu’en opened his eyes, and in the full-length mirror before him, the handsome man with golden hair and blue eyes smiled back.
“Ah, my strong biceps.”
“Ah, my muscular chest.”
“Ah, my beautiful abs.”
“They’re back, all back.”
Looking at the still muscular him in the mirror, Mu’en couldn’t help but express his happiness.
This is good, yes, this is good.
As for being a beauty, that kind of feeling is only felt when hugging (or being hugged by?) one; becoming a beauty himself was not an option, it’s unbearable.
“Speaking of which, this potion can’t be the antidote for the transformation potion, right?”
Mu’en rubbed his chin, pondering.
If it were an antidote, the process shouldn’t have been so intense.
Moreover, based on the feeling just now, it didn’t seem like it was curing a magic potion but rather directly burning away the disguise on Mu’en’s body.
“In other words, did the senior discover the effects of the transformation potion and then create an antidote targeting that effect?”
Mu’en admired:
“Truly worthy of the senior; President of the Ancient Magic Potion Society is not just a title.”
“I should find a chance to learn from the senior in the future.”
“However, that’s something to discuss later. Right now…”
Mu’en cast his gaze around.
The previous clothes definitely couldn’t be worn again; after all, he had already displayed them in front of so many people. If he still went out in those, there’s no telling if some particularly perceptive people would catch on and make unnecessary assumptions.
He needed to search this unfamiliar dormitory to see if there were any emergency clothes available.
Of course, necessary compensation would certainly be offered promptly.
“The owner of this room seems to really like exercising.”
After casually browsing around the room and seeing the dumbbells and barbells scattered throughout, Mu’en couldn’t help but smile.
