Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

"What is that?"

Xia leaned over, looking bewildered, her orange ponytail swaying gently with her movements.

She had clearly seen a corner of the album cover just now, which showed a pair of long, beautiful legs wearing almost transparent black lace panties.

Jiang Chuan remained expressionless and flipped the photo album over with a "smack".

The movement was as natural as closing an ordinary magazine.

The back is a pure white background with no pattern whatsoever.

"A magazine about Pokémon performances." Jiang Chuan's tone was calm, even carrying a hint of academic discussion.

"Let's look into the dojo."

He speaks without even blinking.

"Oh, a magazine?"

Xiaoxia drawled out her words, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

She suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Hanako when they were buying lingerie at the mall last time.

Hanako was picking out lace lingerie when she smiled and said that Egawa does read these magazines.

It turns out it was true!

Xiaoxia secretly chuckled to herself.

However, she quickly found an explanation for the familiar leg shape she had just seen.

That's probably what a standard model's legs look like.

Sakura-san pays so much attention to her figure, exercising every day and soaking in hot springs to maintain her health.

It's perfectly normal to have legs like a model.

Besides, Sakura-neechan would only take some private photos for her own collection, how could she possibly submit them to a magazine?

That's so shameful!

I must have misread it.

Xiaoxia shook her head, trying to clear her mind of those chaotic thoughts.

But then she couldn't help but steal glances at Jiang Chuan.

So this guy...

I really love this kind of dainty lace style!

You big pervert!

hen tai!

Xiaoxia was internally ranting, but her face unconsciously flushed slightly.

She didn't come to see Jiang Chuan today for this reason.

"that……"

Xiaoxia was unusually shy.

She gently sat down on the railing next to Jiang Chuan, her legs dangling in the air and swinging back and forth.

The night breeze ruffled her hair, revealing her slightly flushed ears.

"Thank you so much for today!"

The sound was so soft it was almost drowned out by the wind.

She's completely unlike the tomboy she usually is.

"Thank me for what?" Jiang Chuan turned his head, his face showing an expression that said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Hey! It's just the two of us, what are you even acting for?"

Xiaoxia nudged Jiang Chuan lightly with her shoulder, clearly annoyed.

The force was very light, more like a playful act.

"I know you deliberately used Butterfree during the day to make me prove myself in front of the older sisters."

She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously picking at the paint on the railing.

"Thank you……"

Actually, after calming down, Xiaoxia quickly realized what had happened.

With Jiang Chuan's strength, he has plenty of ways to fight if it really comes down to it.

They chose the most troublesome one—using Butterfree against Water-types, and it took them so long.

They were clearly creating opportunities for her to shine.

At that moment, she was caught up in her passion and was completely led by the nose by Jiang Chuan, her mind filled with "I want to win".

Looking back now...

This guy is actually quite good at taking care of people's feelings.

Jiang Chuan smiled but didn't reply.

Instead, it turned to look at Pikachu, who was rummaging through a ketchup jar next to it.

"Pikachu, your acting skills still need improvement."

he joked.

Pickup truck?

Pikachu is holding a nearly empty jar of ketchup, trying to pour out the last bit of sauce.

Hearing Jiang Chuan say that, it tilted its head blankly.

As a result, my hand slipped and it splattered.

The last bit of ketchup fell directly to the ground.

Pickup!

Pikachu's eyes widened instantly, and it pounced with lightning speed, its little paws quickly grabbing the tomato sauce ball that was covered in dust, and "woof!" stuffing it into its mouth.

The entire process takes no more than two seconds.

After finishing it, it licked its lips with a hint of satisfaction, its little face full of pride.

It only fell on the ground for a very short while!

It's definitely not dirty!

Pikachu was full of confidence.

Xiaoxia burst out laughing at this scene.

The slight shyness she felt just moments before vanished instantly.

After laughing, she looked at Jiang Chuan again, her eyes softening considerably.

"Actually... thank you so much for everything along the way."

Xiaoxia said softly.

"It's not just today. You've been taking care of me ever since Tokiwa City."

She paused, then spoke even softer.

"I used to think that I could never be as good as my older sisters. They were beautiful, capable, and could do everything."

"I can only be a tagalong, I can't even protect the dojo..."

"But today... I finally feel like I can do something too."

As Xiaoxia spoke, she flashed a bright smile.

"So, thank you so much, Jiang Chuan!"

Looking into Xiaoxia's eyes, Jiang Chuan suddenly understood.

Why did the system define "helping Xiaoxia build confidence in front of her sister" as an emotional storyline task?

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Chuan smiled and reached out to ruffle Xiaoxia's hair.

"Don't thank me. We're comrades."

It feels pretty good.

"Ugh...don't mess up my hair!"

Xiaoxia protested, but did not dodge.

Instead, she squinted her eyes slightly, like a cat being stroked.

A few seconds later, she suddenly jumped up as if she had just woken up.

"Okay! I'm going to take a shower!"

Xiaoxia turned around and ran into the house.

After running a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and made a face at Jiang Chuan.

"Sometime in the future, if there's a chance~"

She blinked, her tone playful.

"I'll thank you properly~"

"You big pervert!"

The last three words were spoken softly and quickly, and then he giggled and ran away.

The orange ponytail danced energetically in the night breeze.

Jiang Chuan chuckled and shook his head, then picked up the photo album and got up to go back to his bedroom.

…………

Xiaoxia skipped and hopped towards the bathroom.

Still thinking about the conversation, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

The result was at the corner of the corridor.

I almost bumped into someone's arms.

Be careful.

A gentle voice came from above.

Xiaoxia looked up and saw Sakura standing in front of her, holding a bath towel and shower gel.

She also seemed to be just about to take a shower.

"Sakura, Sakura-neechan!" Xiaoxia quickly steadied herself. "What are you doing here?"

"I was just about to take a shower."

Sakura smiled, her gaze falling on Xia's still slightly flushed face.

"Xiaoxia, it's been so long since we took a bath together."

"How about... the sisters shower together today?"

"I also have something I'd like to tell you."

"Huh?"

Xiaoxia was stunned.

Take a bath together...

She actually really enjoys taking baths and chatting with her sisters.

This often happened when I was a child.

But ever since Mudan mocked her figure last year, she has refused to shower with her sisters anymore out of spite.

I always wash myself in secret.

"But I'm already a big girl..."

Xiaoxia fidgeted and picked at her fingers.

"Washing with my sisters and stuff..."

"There are no peonies or calamus today."

Sakura immediately saw through her sister's concerns and added softly.

Just the two of us.

"Really?"

Xiaoxia's eyes lit up.

"Alright! Let's go to the bathroom!"

She instantly cheered up and took Sakura's hand, pulling her towards the bathroom.

Like a cheerful little dolphin.

…………

The bathroom at Clarin Dojo is very large.

After all, all four sisters live here, so a spacious bathroom was specially built during the renovation.

In the center is a circular bathtub that can accommodate four or five people, with a shower area, lockers, and a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror on the side.

The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of essential oils amidst the rising mist.

After the two sisters went inside, they naturally began to take off their clothes.

Xiaoxia was still a little shy. With her back to the cherry blossoms, she quickly took off her T-shirt and shorts.

Cherry blossoms, on the other hand, are much more relaxed.

She gracefully untied her bathrobe, letting the silky fabric slip off her shoulders.

Her mature and voluptuous body gleamed with a pearly luster under the light.

Xiaoxia jumped into the bath first, and the warm water instantly enveloped her whole body.

"So comfortable~"

She sighed contentedly, sinking down until only her head was visible.

Sakura then leisurely walked to the shower area and turned on the shower.

Hot water slid down her smooth body curves.

She carefully washed her body, every movement exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.

Xiaoxia secretly peeked her eyes out of the water and stared at her sister.

I couldn't help but compare them in my mind.

Sakura-neechan's... is so big.

Her waist is so slim, and her hips are so perky.

Her legs were long and straight, and her skin was so white it seemed to glow.

Then look at yourself...

Although I seem to have gained a little weight recently, I'm still far behind my older sister.

As she was lost in thought, Sakura finished rinsing and gracefully stepped into the bath.

The water rippled.

She sat down opposite Xiaoxia, the warm water just covering her chest.

In the misty air, the two sisters looked at each other.

Sakura's gaze swept over Xiaoxia, and she suddenly smiled.

"Our youngest sister from the Cerulean Dojo..."

"You've grown up too."

Her tone was gentle, tinged with relief.

Xiaoxia blushed and instinctively shrank back into the water.

"Oh dear, sister, please don't make fun of me."

"I'm nowhere near as good as you..."

I'm serious.

Sakura moved forward slightly and gently brushed away the wet hair that was stuck to Xia's cheek.

"My figure is fuller than before, and my skin is more radiant."

"It seems that travel really does have a beneficial effect on health."

Her gaze inadvertently swept across the water's surface.

My gaze lingered for a moment.

He then smiled and nodded.

He got up and walked out of the bath.

Sakura walked to the locker and took out a small box from it.

"Should we remove the hair?"

Sakura shook the box in her hand and turned to look at Xia.

A gentle smile graced her face.

"I think you've reached the age where you should start taking care of yourself."

"Huh? Removing...removing hair?"

Xiaoxia was taken aback at first, then her face flushed red.

Of course she knew what her sister was talking about.

Actually, she had wanted to deal with it for a long time.

I always worry about feeling embarrassed when I wear a swimsuit, and it also gets in the way when I shower.

"I...I dare not...I'm not good at handling this."

Xiaoxia muttered softly.

Sakura walked back to the edge of the bathtub, sat down, and opened the box.

Inside are professional hair removal cream, a small razor, soothing lotion, and a handheld mirror.

"Okay, no problem. I'll help you today and teach you while I'm at it."

"You'll be able to manage it yourself from now on."

"It's faded so beautifully, so cleanly..."

Sakura paused, looked up at Xiaoxia, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

"Only men like that."

"W-What kind of man is he?!"

Xiaoxia instantly bristled, her whole body turning as red as a boiled lobster.

"I remove my body hair simply to look better!"

"It's not because of any man!"

While she was being stubborn, she was frantically moving towards the water outlet at the edge of the bathtub.

Turn on the tap and let fresh hot water fill the sink, trying to mask your panic with the sound of rushing water.

The cherry blossoms smiled without saying a word.

Once Xiaoxia had calmed down, she slowly began to speak:

"Yeah?"

"So you just... secretly went to see Jiang Chuan, didn't you?"

She ran back with a flushed face.

The words fell.

Xiaoxia froze.

"Jiang... Jiangchuan?... Ah!"

Upon hearing her sister suddenly mention Jiang Chuan's name, Xiaoxia tensed up instantly...
