Great, we're doomed now!

She choked on her words halfway through, her brows furrowing tightly.

Although they were in a hot spring, the two did not engage in any intimate activities. Instead, they were both dressed in neat yukatas, and although their posture was strange, it was not ambiguous. Ye Shou stood behind Long Juan, holding her hands and stepping on her back with his bare feet, slowly applying pressure as if he were stretching her.

Tornado is now much taller and her features are more mature. She looks like Fubuki with a different hairstyle and a slimmer figure.

There was a faint golden light on her nose, which seemed to be life energy slowly seeping into her nostrils...

"Seriously, what are you guys doing?"

"Blizzard! Ugh!"

Tornado was terrified, but her body was held in place by Ye Shou. Just as she was about to speak, an impact came from behind, causing her to involuntarily move forward, only to be pulled back by his arm, making her voice broken and intermittent.

"Fubuki, don't misunderstand... we're just... um, just exercising!"

"Don't tell such an obvious lie!"

Fubuki's suppressed emotions erupted. She braced herself against the wall and shouted at her older sister from above. However, Tatsumaki did not feel ashamed. Instead, she blushed.

"Fubuki! Fubuki!"

How was it settled privately?

"Above! Above—" A flash of green light appeared on Tornado's body, and a white shadow flew out from her clothes and landed on Fubuki with a thud.

"You saw everything!"

"Well!"

Fubuki felt the cool breeze on her chest and realized that she had exposed herself. She quickly covered Tatsumaki's children's bra with her hands, but the two full breasts were obviously not so easy to cover up. The fabric that was enough to cover Tatsumaki's entire body looked shabby on Fubuki. The swollen softness overflowed from the edges of her arms, which only emphasized their presence.

With another scream, Fubuki mustered her psychic powers and frantically plummeted downwards...

"call!"

Tornado breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately complained, "That kid is really something, he's such a grown-up and still makes me worry... Hey, let go of me, Fubuki is definitely coming over soon."

Ye Shou readily agreed and released Tatsumaki, who had transformed into a young girl. His smile was rather irritating—at least Tatsumaki was quite annoyed by it.

"You... you still have to do this in front of someone's sister, that's really despicable!"

"It's nothing shameful," Ye Shou chuckled. "At least I have a clear conscience."

"Hmph... I'm too lazy to argue with you."

Tornado pursed her lips, turned her head away, and skillfully adjusted her belt with both hands—because of her increased size, her clothes were now quite tight.

Fortunately, she had thought of this beforehand, so she chose a larger size yukata when she came. Now she just needed to loosen the obi belt.

hiss~

Suddenly, Tornado stopped moving, paused for a moment, and then tightened her collar as if afraid it would fall down.

'Oh no, I don't have any underwear...'

-

And so on... and so forth...

After explaining the whole story to Fubuki, the heroine was sometimes enlightened and sometimes doubtful, but seeing her sister's current state, she had no choice but to accept the fact.

"This is too bizarre... but why would they keep something like this from me?"

"It's probably your sister's excessive pride—uh!"

Tornado stepped on Ye Shou's foot, crossed her arms, and said in a cool and aloof manner, "This is my private matter, and there was no need to explain it to others... I just didn't expect you to misunderstand."

She was actually quite regretful now. If she had known that Fubuki thought she and Ye Shou had an improper relationship and knew nothing about her growing taller... she might have found a way to keep it a secret!

"But don't worry, Fubuki, this man and I are completely innocent. To be precise, he's not my type at all, and there's absolutely no way things could develop between us."

"What I'm worried about has nothing to do with me... but this is fine."

Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently at the two of them: "After all, you are both very important people to me. It wouldn't be good if we strained our relationship."

"You're overthinking it, humph!"

Tornado took flight: "I'm not in the mood today. Let's settle this another day, Fubuki."

The superpowered individual quickly left the bathhouse, leaving only Ye Shou and Fubuki behind.

Seeing this, Ye Shou also wanted to leave.

"Um, I'm sorry... Ye Shou, I misunderstood you."

Fubuki clasped her hands tightly behind her back, where Ye Shou couldn't see her.

"As compensation, I'll tell you a piece of information—actually, there's a great natural hot spring behind the hotel, but the path is quite difficult to walk."

The hotel owner told me that the skin there is very good... but I'm a little afraid of the dark..."

Her fingers turned white, her eyes darted around, and Fubuki from Hell blushed as she desperately tried to come up with a ridiculous excuse.

"...Could you...come with me?"

"This man is totally not my type," Tornado said before returning to the hotel.

She didn't know why she was in a bad mood, but she was always in a bad mood, so she didn't realize that something was wrong. She just thought that too many things had happened today, which had disrupted her plans, so she was a little irritable.

She first went back to her room to change into another set of casual clothes. When she took off her yukata, there happened to be a mirror in the room, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances at herself.

For a moment, she was in a daze.

The person in the mirror did not appear as petite and thin as a primary school student, but rather as a slender and upright young woman, who, although a bit thin, could be described as "graceful".

This might sound like she's trying to look younger, but no matter how you look at it, she's definitely a high school girl now!

The only drawback is that while the body has grown larger, some details haven't kept up perfectly. For example, the armpits and abdomen are still completely bare, making it look like a newborn baby, and not mature at all...

But Tornado felt relieved when she thought of her younger sister:

Fubuki is the same way, so it's probably not that Ye Shou's skills are the problem, but that they are just naturally like that.

"gorgeous……"

Tornado gently stroked her body, a hint of dazedness in her eyes, which then flashed with sadness.

Ultimately, it couldn't last forever; it was only for one night.

According to her own plan, she will grow at a rate of about 10 centimeters per year. That is to say, she will be able to appear in front of others as a JK (high school girl) after one year, and she can only change into an older sister form after two years.

I've never felt time could be so long...

"Ah~"

Tornado sighed, snapped her fingers, and golden-green energy ripples spread across her skin. Then her skeleton slowly shrank, returning to its original size after about ten seconds.

"Ha!" Tornado looked at the little girl in the mirror, expressionless, and spread her arms, twisted her waist, and looked left and right.

It's definitely better to be bigger...

She closed her eyes and began to recall what Ye Shou had told her. She concentrated her mental energy and constructed a model of her own body in her mind, precisely marking every bone and every muscle.

"Transform!"

Tornado suddenly opened her eyes, and golden-green energy surged from her body once more. At the same time, the Holy Grail mark lit up on her forehead, and her figure gradually grew taller...

hum~

Three centimeters!

She's grown three centimeters taller this time!

Although she can't transform into her JK form on her own yet, she has mastered the ability to freely switch between her normal state and her "three centimeters" form!

One day, she will master the secret of the unity of body and soul, and be able to transform at any time and anywhere, becoming as big as she wants!

Even the snowflakes—

Sigh, I still can't compete...

Ugh! I'm even more annoyed now!

Tornado, still "three centimeters taller," changed her clothes and went outside. She originally wanted to grab a drink, but was drawn in by the noise coming from the next room. When she went in, she found the S-class heroes still messing around.

Many of these energetic guys had been drinking. Except for Child Emperor, who left early because children shouldn't stay up late, the rest were basically determined to keep going until dawn.

"It's noisy!"

Tornado frowned, finally finding an outlet for the pent-up frustration in her heart.

"Don't you know how rude of you to do this in the middle of the night?!"

One by one, the heroes were controlled by her, crashing together like runaway trains.

Seeing the S-class heroes staggering but unharmed, Tatsumaki felt a little better:

For some reason, she felt inexplicably annoyed whenever she thought of Fubuki and Ye Shou, especially her younger sister's lovesick appearance.

Yes, it must be because I'm worried she'll be deceived by a man, it's definitely not for any other reason.

There's nothing I can do; I'm the older sister!

-

Night fell like ink on the mountains, starlight sparsely dotted the dark sky, and the faint moonlight barely illuminated the cobblestone path beneath our feet.

Fortunately, fireflies slowly rose from the grass on both sides of the mountain road. Their yellow-green glow added a touch of romance and dispelled the terror of the night, becoming the gentlest light source on the way, making the outlines of the grass and trees hazy and soft.

Ye Shou walked ahead, his right hand naturally holding Chuixue's hand, the warmth of his palm passing through their skin.

Fubuki, with her ear-length black hair, followed behind him. Her kimono fluttered in the night breeze, and her sleeves swayed. In her left hand, she held a small wooden bathtub with a neatly folded white towel inside.

The two did not speak a word the whole way, only the soft sound of their footsteps on the stones could be heard.

But for them right now, silence might be the best option...

Fubuki could clearly feel the warmth emanating from Ye Shou's body. His palm was pressed against the back of her hand, and she could even count Ye Shou's pulse... So, Fubuki's heartbeat quickened without her realizing it.

Her heart pounded with joy and excitement, like she was holding a little deer in her chest. Her cheeks began to burn, and her breathing became lighter, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

...How embarrassing.

He's behaving like a little girl experiencing her first love, so pathetic... He's a famous hero known to everyone, don't surrender so easily!

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Although she wasn't a high school girl, she was indeed experiencing her first love and had absolutely no resistance to Ye Shou's every move.
