This is a gender-bender novel.
My name is Bai Xi. I'm a second-year high school student. I'm a girl now, but I was a boy in my previous life. I'm a magical girl whose role is to make sarcastic comments.
After school that day, my idiot childhood friend, Hoshino Momo, used "a hamster escaped" as an excuse to slip into an alley, then transformed into a magical girl right in front of me. There was a flash of holy light, special effects, and a monster that made her bleed when she couldn't beat it.
The moment I saw the blood, the third episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica started playing on loop in my head.
So I made a wish to the world: Let me become a magical girl who can protect her, and protect all magical girls.
The world answered me, and it was pretty generous.
It gave me an empty sniper rifle and a snow-white little wish-granting beast.
Its name is Snow. It can't feel pain or die. While the others fight monsters, it takes the hits for them. When it dies, it comes back to life, only to get beaten up again. Its teammates call it the best meat shield of the year.
And I can't do anything at all.
But I'm the only one who knows that every time Snow dies, I sneeze somewhere no one can see.
One sneeze for one life. However you look at it, that's a pretty good deal.
Until my sneezes turn into scrapes, the scrapes turn into a low fever, and the low fever turns into...
Never mind. I'll save that for later. I'm going to sneeze.
