Why the Hell Are My Nudes on My Friend's Computer?
The first day's exam was a total disaster since I hadn't studied at all.
It was so bad that I didn't even need to wait for grades to be posted—the results were glaringly obvious.
I'd never been hung up on scores from the start, so it didn't hit me hard.
Just the outcome I'd expected.
"Ha-young, come over to my place."
"Sure, okay."
"How'd the exam go?"
I shrugged as Joo-hee linked arms with me, asking about the results.
"You bombed it, huh."
"Didn't study a single bit."
"And you're chill about it."
"I'm just here for the diploma, so it's fine."
"That's not how it should be! This time, study with me and let's ace it."
"Ugh... but I hate studying..."
Going to my close friend's house was always welcome.
But studying there? No way in hell, no matter what.
Like a beast dragged to the slaughterhouse, I let Joo-hee pull me along to her place—and was met with a bizarre sight.
Serendipity everywhere I looked: front, back, left, right. Her one-room apartment was stuffed to the brim with her.
"Uh... lots of Se, Serendipity stuff, huh...?"
"Obviously! She's my ultimate fave!"
The merch was insanely varied too.
Figures, acrylic stands, Nendoroids, bromides, dakimakura, photocards, postcards—you name it.
Every official collab item with the Central Government was there, not a single one missing, filling up Joo-hee's space.
"This one's not official merch."
"Oh? You know your stuff. Got it at a subculture event."
"Ah, gotcha..."
She was serious enough to hit up subculture events for unofficial Serendipity merch.
"Ha-young, put this on. Giving it to you 'cause it's you."
"Huh...? You want me to wear this...?"
The comfy change-of-clothes she'd handed me was a printed T-shirt with the Serendipity logo and a massive full-body image of her plastered on it.
"Got nothing else...?"
"Why? You like her too, right? Wearing a Serendipity tee should make studying go better."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah! Feels like she's cheering you on to study hard."
How many people in the world cheer themselves on to study diligently like that?
"Oh, gotta brag about this! Ha-young, check it out!"
Joo-hee beamed, pulling a jacket from her closet with the Serendipity logo on the back.
And there, on it, was Serendipity's signature.
"A signature...?"
"Yep! Entered the raffle and won! Isn't it epic?!"
"Y-Yeah... that's impressive..."
"I enter every official merch raffle for signed stuff, and this is my first win!"
Every time official merch dropped, I was filled with dread.
Because the designs made it impossible to pass as a civilian—what folks called "dayko."
Fans were even begging for merch that let you blend in.
"But isn't it kinda much to wear out? Screams otaku too loud."
"That's the best part! I wear it everywhere outside school."
"R-Really...?"
I'd only ever hung out with Joo-hee at uni, so I'd never seen her off-campus look.
Now I was glad for it.
Watching my bestie geek out over me up close would be mortifying.
"Got a new goal lately."
"Goal?"
"Yeah! Cosplaying as Serendipity at a subculture event!"
"Co-Cosplay... oh, cool... gr-great goal..."
"But ugh, my chest is too small. Serendipity's aren't this tiny."
She cupped her breasts with both hands, sighing, then suddenly stared at mine.
"Why...?"
"Looking now, your boobs are just like Serendipity's."
"Huh? R-Really...?"
"Totally! You'd nail her cosplay!"
Of course I would.
I am Serendipity.
"Got the cosplay outfit and wig already. Just stressing over the chest."
She showed me the Serendipity cosplay clothes and wig from her closet.
"That's her debut outfit."
"Right!"
"But the trim's wrong. It's supposed to be navy chain."
"Spot on! My friend's a Serendipity fan—best thing ever!"
It was natural I'd notice those details.
So I'd pointed it out without thinking.
But Joo-hee thought I was as obsessed as her and started jumping in place like crazy.
"What's your fave Serendipity villain takedown, Ha-young?"
"Hm, probably the recent S-grade one."
"S-grade? We only got the news she beat it—no civilians saw it."
Oh, right.
"J-Just hearing about it is awesome. She took down the strongest S-grade...!"
"Pfft, true. Wish I'd seen it live."
If I'd let my bestie see me getting all three holes wrecked by tentacles and dicks, pissing myself from anal play...
Fuck that—I'd sooner hang myself.
"What's yours?"
"The one where she crushed that stone-bodied villain online. Super memorable."
Oh yeah, that one wrecked me.
So damn tough it cracked my bones.
"She got hurled into a building—super tense! But she won in the end!"
Took a while 'cause that stone cock stabbing my pussy felt so good I was moaning like an idiot, powering up my rock-hardening skill.
"Next fave... saving her teammates from that rubber-arm villain!"
Not saving them—I let it drag me off to charge mana for a one-shot.
"Her interview after: body bound, so tough, but she powered through to victory. Iconic!"
Yeah... that freely stretching dick hitting my S-spot was pure bliss.
"Wanna hit a Serendipity signing someday. When's the next one? Afternoon stuff got canceled 'cause of that sudden S-grade."
The villain's surprise attack led to canceling the orphanage volunteer and signing events.
No reschedule yet.
"Yeah. Bet an announcement drops soon."
"You ever been to one?"
"Uh... yeah."
"No way?! Jealous! I always lose the raffles."
Suddenly remembered Joo-hee's birthday was about a month away.
"Joo-hee, want me to hook you up with Serendipity for your birthday?"
"...What?!"
She grabbed both my hands, eyes wide at my casual toss-out.
"F-For real...? N-No way... is that even possible...?"
"You know how she meets people she saved directly?"
"Yeah! Tons of folks have!"
Team Leader had mentioned it to me.
Fan management was part of a magical girl's duties.
Her idea: offer 10-minute meet-and-greets with Serendipity to folks she'd rescued from villains.
Helped ease victims' trauma too, so I went along without protest.
"I'll use it on you."
Thud!
Joo-hee dropped to her knees, staring up at me blankly.
"Lord... thank you...!"
"Huh...?"
She clasped her hands, bowing her head in prayer.
"Ha-young, are you an angel?"
"W-What're you saying..."
"How can you give me a golden opportunity like that?!"
"It's your birthday. Can't do this much for my bestie?"
"Waaah... thank you so much! For real! I'll be loyal forever!"
"N-No... friends don't need loyalty..."
Plan was simple.
Tell her Serendipity's coming soon, then dip out.
Transform somewhere hidden, meet her as Serendipity.
Ten minutes later, bail, undo transformation, reappear. Perfect.
"Grrraaah! My Ha-young's the best! Goddess Yoo Ha-young!"
"G-Goddess...?"
Proud my closest friend was this thrilled, but her over-the-top reaction left me flustered.
"Oh, gotta plan my outfit. Full Serendipity merch armor, right?"
"Y-Yeah... she'd love that."
"Exactly! Can't wait—birthday can't come soon enough!"
"Should we... study now?"
Her hype was too much; "study" slipped out first.
"Oh, right. We've burned an hour on Serendipity talk."
"Joo-hee, can I grab your exam notes?"
"Duh! Anything for you! On my computer."
She pulled a USB from her bag and handed it over.
"Blank one—copy to this."
"Thanks."
"I'll set up for studying."
"Cool."
"Left the folder as 'New Folder.'"
"Got it."
While Joo-hee prepped at the table, I booted her computer and found the "New Folder."
Wait—two of them.
"Which one...?"
Not sure which had the notes, I clicked the right one.
It overflowed with dozens of photos.
All of Serendipity.
Figured it was her fan collection, so I went to click the left one—but one pic caught my eye.
"Huh...?"
Drawn like a magnet, I clicked. The screen filled with a photo of my back—magical girl uniform torn, standing there.
Breasts, ass, pussy—all fully exposed.
"What... the hell is this...?"
