[1v1] [Gender Bender] [Slice of Life]
Lu Ning nearly died at the age of twelve, and became a magical girl. From then on, she went by the name Iris.
The sad thing was that although she used to be a boy, not a single person noticed she had turned into a girl.
Not her relatives, her classmates, or even her parents.
In battle, this berserk magical girl constantly risked her life, always trying to die alongside the abyssal beasts. But outside her transformations, she was just a lonely little kid desperate for love.
If things continued this way, there was only one possible ending for her: dying in a fight against an abyssal beast.
But during one battle, she met a girl.
The girl gently caught her as she weakened from the fight, rubbed her head, softly patted her back, and said:
"There, there. I don't know what happened to you, but for now, just go to sleep and don't worry."
That simple, casual comfort was all Lu Ning had ever wanted.
And that was when their fates changed.
The two girls grew closer and closer, and Lu Ning slowly realized she wasn't as pessimistic as she used to be.
But later, she discovered something else...
The girl admired her magical girl identity. She believed Iris was selfless and heroic, the greatest person of all.
But Lu Ning was only trying to die...
That contradiction left her unsure how to face the girl, or how to preserve the idealized version of herself in the girl's heart.
She had already fallen for her. She couldn't bear to be without her.
