Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Summary:

When his life came to an end, Yu Huan suddenly felt that the world before his eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes!

The unchanging ward turned into a dilapidated ruin?!

The friendly doctor turned into a flame-breathing monster?!

Even her frail body has transformed into a vibrant loli? !

He didn't die? She traveled through time!

However... in the ruins where strange beasts and demons roam everywhere, how can a little Lolita like me, who is powerless, realize her dream of traveling around the world?

"Ding~~ The scavenging system is at your service!"

Volume 1: Scavengers in the Ruins

0. Death!

"Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick~"

How should I put it? Even though I’ve been hearing this sound every day since I woke up for ten years, it’s true that no matter how many times I hear it, I still can’t get used to it!

"Beep beep beep~~beep beep beep~~~"

But today the sound seems a bit loud! What happened?

With this thought in mind, the young man slowly opened his eyes, but before he could see the world clearly, he felt a pain in his chest and everything went dark in front of him!

"Beep beep beep~~beep beep beep~~"

This time, the sound became even more urgent, but unfortunately the boy who had fainted could not hear it!

The bright red blood stained the white sheets, and the shrill alarm sounded in every corner of the ear.

Doctor Li's voice, which had always been extremely gentle, now became full of irritability and panic!

My sister, who has always been by my side with a sweet smile on her face, now has tears on her face!

What happened?

When Yu Huan opened his eyes from confusion, he felt extremely uncomfortable with his heavy body, and the dazzling operating light made his mind go blank; when the light faded, a face wearing a sterile mask appeared in front of him, and in its eyes... there was sadness!

"Doctor Li...?"

Using the remaining strength, he called out the name of the person in front of him, who he recognized at a glance despite his face being covered. However, what he got in response was the other person's somewhat evasive gaze and... slightly moist eyes.

"..."

Ah~ I suddenly seem to understand what's going on!

"Am I...out of time?"

A hoarse and weak voice came from the pale lips tightly wrapped in the oxygen mask, with a hint of relief, like a teacher's question, but also like an affirmative tone.

It's natural when you think about it. It was this top doctor in the country who snatched my life from the hands of death with his extraordinary medical skills and cutting-edge technology. I should be content that I have been able to linger on for ten years!

"..."

He remained silent until a long time later, when Yu Huan heard the familiar voice of Doctor Li and the even more familiar words... the words that he said to his fellow patients when they fell asleep, which contained countless dull and painful words:

"sorry!"

This sentence was like a death knell. He had heard this sentence from Dr. Li countless times in the past ten years and had already expected it. Therefore, when this sentence really happened to him, Yu Huan's heart was unusually calm, and even felt extremely relieved!

"There's no need to apologize. You've done your best!"

He wanted to speak, to tell the doctor who had taken care of him wholeheartedly what he should have said many years ago. However, the increasingly vague feeling in his consciousness made it impossible for him to make any sound. In the end, he could only move the corners of his mouth helplessly. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and then slowly closed amid a burst of noisy sounds.

Maybe this time, closing my eyes...will be forever? Thinking about it carefully...I still feel a little unwilling!

The book says that after a person dies, his past memories will flash before his eyes like a kaleidoscope, but what are his own memories like?

The same hospital bed that had remained unchanged since birth, the hospital garden that could only be seen through the window, the parents who always had gentle smiles on their faces in front of him, and the sister who always had a carefree smile on her face...and of course, the way they looked at him with tears in their eyes in the dead of night when they thought he was asleep.

It's over, it's finally over!

Perhaps this was the best possible ending? After all, lying on that pure white bed day after day for ten years, with only the small park just a window away, was not something I could enjoy in any way.

It seems nice to end it like this. Mom doesn't have to get up early and stay up late to take care of herself, Dad doesn't have to run around for the expensive medical bills, and my sister doesn't have to force herself to smile the brightest in front of her every day while holding back her tears. Doctor Li... doesn't have to treat his family badly just to keep himself, a dying man, alive!

So... that's good, that's good!

"Hu~~"

What the book said was true! The revolving lantern actually appeared!

"Whoo~~~"

Hmm, wait, something doesn’t seem right. The garden in my memory… is this the case?

The dilapidated pavilions, the dried-up fountains that had long since disappeared, the flower beds covered with dead branches and rotten leaves, and the statue standing in the center of the formation that had long since turned into rubble... This was not the beautiful garden with flowers blooming all year round that he had seen for ten years, but a completely unfamiliar... the ruins of a garden?

So the question is, since this is not the garden of my hospital, then where is this place?

At that moment, in a window-side room in a dilapidated building, a figure lying on a piece of rag suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the unfamiliar ruins before him. After a long moment, his pupils contracted sharply as he uttered his first sound since entering this world:

"Huh? Is this the underworld?"

1. Zhao Yuhuan is dead, now my name is Yuhuan!

Land of Ruins 1625

This is the name of this ruin, and it is also the code name for this city-sized ruin!

Why use code names? It's simple. There are simply too many ruins like this in this world, so many that the people living in this world simply can't name them one by one, so they can only be referred to by code names!

As one of the countless ruined cities, this place has been covered by sand and ravaged by strong winds for years. Not only is there no one here, but even the plants and animals are almost extinct. It can be asserted almost without hesitation that this is absolutely a dead place without any life!

It should have been like this, but today, this place welcomed the first and only guest in thousands of years!

"Yoho~~hahahaha~~~"

A tender child's voice that shouldn't have appeared in such a ruin suddenly came from a distant building that was already in ruins. Accompanied by the wind and sand, it spread to every corner of the surrounding area. There was no fear or surprise about the ruins in the cry, but instead it was filled with a strong excitement and excitement. Just from the voice, one could hear the extremely excited mood of the owner of the voice!

And in fact, this was exactly the case. Yu Huan was extremely excited at this moment, so excited that he almost... no, he was already jumping up and down. The reason why he was so excited was also very simple, so simple that it would be completely unnecessary for a normal person. That is...

"I can stand up! I can walk! I can scream at the top of my lungs without coughing, I can... survive!!!"

That's right, just to stay alive was the reason that made Yu Huan's excitement reach its peak. He was so excited that he didn't notice the surrounding environment or the changes in his body. He just kept jumping on the spot, occasionally shouting excitedly outside the bed, to vent the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for ten years!

Healthy and free from all dangers, free to jump and go wherever he pleased... This was a normal sixteen-year-old's dream, but for Yu Huan, who had lived in a hospital since birth and had been bedridden since the age of six, it seemed like a distant fantasy. And now, this fantasy had truly come true, truly happening to him. How could he not be thrilled?!

……

After venting his anger for ten minutes, and repeating several times a series of simple movements that Ying'er could do, such as running, jumping, walking, and even rolling on the ground, Yu Huan finally calmed down and began to look carefully at the environment around him.

"Is this... the end of the world?"

Seeing the ruins in front of him, his first reaction was naturally this. After all, when he was lying in bed with nothing to do, his sister had recommended many doomsday-themed movies, novels, animations, etc. to him in order to pass the time. Therefore, when he saw the environment in front of him which was completely different from what he had seen before, Yu Huan's first reaction was to think of a very good zombie TV series he had watched before: (XX Walking Meat)!

He was already dead, but when he woke up, he found that it was the end of the world, and he had been asleep for an unknown amount of time... But the next second, Yu Huan decisively denied this idea.

"I should be...dead!"

This was reality, and even though he hated to admit it, it was true. After all, he had spent ten years in the hospital, and even from hearsay, he had a good understanding of medicine. His terminal illness was incurable, and he should have died at the age of six. It was only with Dr. Li's immense efforts that he was able to extend his life by nearly ten years. However, even that was already the limit. His gradually weakened body had no chance of recovery, let alone the health he had now!

Not to mention that Xiang Qian was too excited to find out he had recovered from his illness and therefore did not notice it. Only after he calmed down did Yu Huan realize the truth, which was that his current body... might not be his own!

The evidence is the appearance of the little man reflected in the dusty mirror where Yu Huan is standing at this moment!

He was still wearing the same striped hospital gown, but although it was not torn, it was already in tatters; the body should be that of a sixteen-year-old, although a little thin due to poor development, but it was obviously impossible for him to be the size of a ten-year-old child like he was now; the face was still the same fair and pretty face, but Yu Huan didn't know if it was an illusion, he keenly discovered that it was somewhat different from the appearance he had seen when he looked in the mirror.

If I have to say something about the flowers...I guess they have become softer!

　If Yu Huan's face only looked pretty before and she was always jokingly called "sister" by her younger sister, then now as long as Yu Huan has slightly longer hair, she will definitely be a girl, and a cute and adorable kind of girl!

Of course, if that were all, then Yu Huan wouldn't need to worry about it. After all, compared to his new life, these things seemed secondary. However, what really made him unable to remain calm was actually the changes within himself, such as...

"My chest... seems to have grown bigger, and down there..."

Sixteen years of bedridden life did not mean that Yu Huan knew nothing. At least his tutor would teach him about physiology. Therefore, at this moment, he could clearly feel the real changes in his body under the thin hospital gown, and Yu Huan could not help but twitch his lips.

"Is this what Yuanyuan once said about the interdependence of fortune and misfortune?"

God gave him a chance to be reborn, but at the same time took away something that is so important to a boy: appearance. This made Yu Huan stunned for a long time and he didn't know how to react!

Are you happy? I believe that no one would really accept this without any reservations!

However, if I say I feel angry or disappointed... to be honest, that's a bit too much, after all...

"Being alive is a blessing. Asking for too much is a luxury!"

During the ten years lying in the hospital bed, Yu Huan did not learn anything else, but he actually implemented the saying "contentment is the greatest happiness". Therefore, after struggling for a while, Yu Huan gradually felt relieved about the fact that he had changed from "he" to "her". After all... it was more important than anything else!

"I just don't know how much fun Yuanyuan would have on me if she saw me like this, and what about her habit of dressing up..."

When Yu Huan thought about how his sister had always worn wigs and put on makeup for him even when he was a boy, and now when he thought about his sister's reaction after he became a girl, he always felt that this was the most worrying thing.

"And mom and dad, their son suddenly became a daughter or something..."

Although I believe that my parents' love for me will never change because of such things, it is obviously impossible to act as if nothing happened after such a thing happened!

"Well, there's also Dr. Li... But then again, if I say I'm Zhao Yuhuan in this state, I wonder if he'll believe me!"

Yuhuan, whose real name is Zhao Yuhuan, is a stage name given to him by his younger sister who is in the late stage of middle school syndrome. This is because the origin of this name is none other than the protagonist of a book written by his younger sister... well, the heroine, the heroine based on his brother!

"Speaking of which, I've really become Yu Huan now..."

Zhao Yuhuan, the former boy, was dead, and in his place was Yu Huan, now a little girl. This reality lay before Yu Huan, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to. More importantly, compared to the things he had just worried about, looking at the surrounding environment, Yu Huan had another not-so-good guess in his mind, which was...

"Perhaps... I am no longer in the original world!"

Although he did wake up in a hospital, and although he was still wearing the hospital gown he wore during the operation, the changes in his body and the dilapidated ruins around him, which looked weathered, undoubtedly told Yu Huan two facts: the first was that he had gone from his original world to the ruins of another world, which might be the end of the world; and the other possibility was that although he was still in his original world, countless years had passed, so long that time had completely eroded this place.

Of these two speculations, Yu Huan undoubtedly believes in the first one and hopes it will be the first one!

"After all, this at least proves that both Mom and Dad and Yuanyuan are alive and well in another world!"

No matter what, or perhaps most importantly, he didn't want to die and see the world change so drastically, his former world becoming what it is now, and his parents already turning into dry bones!

"...Forget it, there's no point in thinking too much. Right now, I need to find something to eat!"

Ran Yuhuan was certainly excited about his healthy body, and the bizarre experience also made him feel a little panicked. However, compared with these, his only thought at this moment was that if he didn't eat, he would most likely face a second death in his life, which was obviously not what he wanted to see!

"Let's find something to eat first. Only by trying to survive can we have the chance to see the world, to see the world that we could only see in books and on computers!"

With this thought in mind, Yu Huan immediately walked out of the ward where he woke up, looked around, and then decisively walked in a certain direction.

"Although this isn't the same world as before, if the hospital building here is the same as my previous one, then I remember the changing rooms should be here, and there's also a cafeteria!"

The so-called locker room is naturally the place where doctors and nurses change clothes for work. It is obviously impossible for Yu Huan, who is wearing a doctor's hospital gown and slippers, to leave the hospital directly. The appearance does not matter. The important thing is that the wind and sand outside are not suitable for walking around like this. Therefore, she still needs to find something to wear!

"Sure enough, it's here. Looks like I'm lucky!"

Following his memory, he found the location of a dressing room. Luckily, he found a white dress in a safe that was so rusty that the lock was broken. Yu Huan smiled with satisfaction, but when he turned the clothes over, he twitched his lips and looked at the clothes spread out in his hands speechlessly.

The ten-year-old self is wearing an adult-sized white outfit. The size of the outfit itself can be ignored for now. However, what really makes Yu Huan depressed is this outfit... It's a nurse's uniform, the kind with a short skirt!

This is really embarrassing...

"It seems like I'm having trouble with the girl setting!"

The complaints that Yu Huan had learned from her younger sister finally came in handy. Although she looked at the nurse uniform in her hand speechlessly, she had no choice but to wear it. She rolled up the sleeves several times and the hem could be used as a dress. Even the short skirt that looked very beautiful on the nurse girl now looked like a long skirt that went over her feet.

As for shoes, naturally there were no shoes that would fit his feet. However, there was nothing Yu Huan could do about it. After searching this small safe, he only found a pair of shoes that were relatively small, but still a lot bigger than what he wore. So Yu Huan could only find a few pairs of socks to wear on his feet... Well, although it was a bit hot and stuffy, at least it was much more convenient to move around!

"Very good, now we are ready. Next we need to go find food!"

The little white dress was tucked into the skirt, which was long... The nurse skirt was lifted at the waist, but reached down to the ankles. The neatly dressed Yu Huan stood in front of the dressing mirror with satisfaction, looking at the little angel in white inside, and a bright smile appeared on her face... Well, the only flaw was that there was no hair on her head covered by the nurse cap because of chemotherapy. But it was not a big problem, it would grow out anyway!

"So……"

Standing in front of the hospital gate, Yu Huan took a deep breath, then exhaled gently, looking at the closed door in front of him. The next second, he slowly placed his hands on the handle, and then pulled it open with force!

"lets go!"

"Roar?!"
