Magical Girls Don’t Want to Be Caught

[Gender-swap romance + transformation + gradual change + everyday life + one heroine]

On the first day Xiguang transforms into a magical girl, she gets a teammate.

Her teammate is Yan Ren, and she’s terribly tsundere.

Xiguang heads east, and Yan Ren heads east.

Xiguang heads west, and Yan Ren heads west.

Xiguang asks, “Why are you always following me?”

Yan Ren: “...It’s on my way.”

Xiguang: “My home is to the east. You live to the west.”

Yan Ren: “...”

Later, Xiguang discovers that

When Yan Ren brings food, it’s for her.

When Yan Ren trains with someone, it’s with her.

When Yan Ren keeps watch at night, she’s guarding Xiguang’s door.

They fight monsters together by day and have dinner together at night.

Xiguang asks, “Do you like me?”

Yan Ren’s ears turn red. “...No.”

Xiguang: “Your ears are red.”

Yan Ren: “...Fire-element constitution.”

Xiguang: “They never used to turn red.”

Yan Ren: “...”

Xiguang leans closer. “Then I’ll get a little closer.”

Yan Ren: “...Don’t.”

Xiguang: “Why?”

Yan Ren: “...I won’t be able to hold back.”

Xiguang: “Hold back from what?”

Yan Ren: “...From liking you.”

[Magical girl × tsundere teammate]

She chases her, and the other stops running.

Because she realizes that Yan Ren was never chasing the enemy.
