Electric Massager
"Spica~"
"Yes, what is it, Sihyun-ssi?"
"Could you order something for me?"
Sihyun had money, but he didn't have a credit card. Most partners of magical girls usually had their identities and bank accounts prepared by the Association before they were transformed into women. But in Sihyun's case, he had been turned into a woman before any of that could be arranged, so it took a while for his account to be set up. Once the account was finally created, he applied for a card, but it would take some time to arrive.
"Of course! What do you need?"
"A massager. My shoulders have been feeling a bit stiff lately."
"Ah, I see."
Spica glanced discreetly at Sihyun's chest without him noticing. The t-shirt that revealed those modest curves looked beautiful today as well.
"After I get back today, I'll give you a massage myself!"
"That would be wonderful."
"Not at all!"
"That aside, don't forget to order the massager."
"Understood!"
After bowing politely to Sihyun, Spica left the house as usual to stand by for duty.
"Good morning, Senior Spica."
"Hey, welcome~"
The person standing by with her today was her junior. After exchanging familiar greetings, the junior sat down and pulled out a book from the cabinet.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm looking up massagers."
"Massagers? Why would you need a massager?"
The junior wondered if a magical girl's body would even need something like that, but then she glanced at Spica's enormous breasts and thought, Well, maybe it makes sense.
"I know what you're thinking, but that's not it. Sihyun-ssi asked me to buy one."
"Ah, I see."
"But I don't know which one is good, so I've been searching."
"That makes sense. Magical girls usually live lives that have nothing to do with massagers, after all."
One of the mysterious secrets of a magical girl's body: no matter how violently you move, you never get muscle pain the next day.
"What about this massage gun? Doesn't this look good?"
"You're right. It seems to be the most popular one."
Spica and her junior focused mainly on massage guns, examining various options. After a brief discussion, they managed to pick out a decent product.
"This one looks nice."
"Yes. It has after-sales service too. Seems like a trustworthy brand."
"Perfect! Then I'll place the order now!"
Spica roughly chose an online shopping site and purchased the item. Since it would be delivered by courier, she could check the expected arrival date.
"I ordered it, but it'll probably take a while to arrive, right?"
"Yeah. Deliveries are always late."
"Still, at least they deliver."
"That's true."
Having completed her mission for Sihyun today, Spica was heading toward her locker to read a book when—
Her smartphone chimed with a new message.
"Oh yes. It's a message from Sihyun-ssi~"
"How did you know? Did you set a special ringtone just for your partner?"
"That's right~"
Spica opened the messenger app on her phone.
"Huh?"
"What does it say?"
"It says the package arrived already?"
"What? Already?"
"That can't be..."
Packages were usually late, never early. There was no way it could arrive faster than expected.
—Ding.
"It's a photo."
"It is a photo."
The picture showed Sihyun hugging a delivery box with one hand while making a V-sign. His bright smile looked genuinely happy.
"It says 'electronics' on it."
"It does."
The delivery box had their home address and the item description 'electronics' written on it. It was quite a large box to contain just one massager. Just in case, she checked her phone again, but the massage gun she had ordered moments ago hadn't even shipped yet.
—Ding.
The second photo was of an electric massager. But it wasn't the massage gun Spica had just ordered. It was the kind commonly seen in those naughty videos.
"Ah."
"Oh."
Both Spica and her junior recalled an incident from a while ago while they were on standby. It was the first day Sihyun had given permission for anything sexual after Spica had gone wild with all sorts of things. It was also the day when the clueless Spica and her junior had wandered around an online adult shop trying to prepare for sex.
......Oh.
......Wow.
Look at this, Senior.
Amazing, amazing, amazing—
Th-this is what you wear?
......If wearing this means I can make Sihyun-ssi wear that, then I'm willing to wear it.
Are you really going to buy it?
......I'll just buy it first and figure out the rest later.
Oh. Challenger mode activated.
If I go down in flames, please collect my bones.
Uh. No thanks.
Every time those past memories resurfaced, the color drained from both their faces.
"W-what do I do!?"
"Senior! Do you remember what we ordered back then?"
"Um... so there was the electric massager, rotors, sexy lingerie..."
"Purchase history! Let's check the purchase history!"
"Yes! That's a good idea!"
Spica hurriedly checked the order history on the online adult shop. The purchased items were as follows:
— Electric Massager
— Rotor
— Several pieces of erotic lingerie
— Several cosplay outfits
— Blindfold, handcuffs, collar
— Anal plug
— Onahole
"Why on earth did you buy an onahole?"
"I wanted Sihyun-ssi to use it to torment me later..."
"And this anal plug?"
"It's to complete the bunny girl outfit with a rabbit tail anal plug."
"What about these SM items!"
"I wanted to be tied up!"
Her junior stared at her with cold eyes, but Spica had no excuses to offer.
"For now, how about texting him to just put the rest of the items in the room?"
"Yes! That's what I'll do!"
—Ding.
Another message arrived from Sihyun. Spica calmed her pounding heart and opened it.
"Uwaaaaaaaaah!"
"Um. Good luck."
"It's okay... I'll hurry back and do something before Sihyun-ssi gets tired of me."
"Didn't you just get forgiven for causing trouble not long ago?"
"This was all done by my past self!"
"Your past self is still you, Senior."
"Of all days!"
"Let's go, Senior."
"Yeah... we have to."
Although Sihyun had taken the absolute top spot in her life's priorities by an overwhelming margin, Spica's sense of justice hadn't disappeared. If Sihyun hated her going, that would be one thing, but he was the type of person who would get angry if she neglected her duties as a magical girl for his sake.
"Alright! Let's do our best today too!"
"Let's go!"
She also secretly hoped that if she worked hard to save people, Sihyun's anger might lessen a bit.
After perfectly blocking the Magic Beast's attack, Spica had accomplished a splendid feat, yet she opened the front door as cautiously as if she had committed a crime.
—Click.
"I'm home..."
Why did the sound of the door opening seem so loud today? Even though sneaking in wouldn't solve anything, Spica hoped Sihyun was asleep or wouldn't hear her.
"Spica! Good work today too!"
"Uh... huh? Thank you?"
"Have you eaten?"
"Ah... not yet."
"Then shall we eat first? I tried making Chinese-style dishes today!"
"Alright..."
Of course, it wasn't time to sleep at two in the afternoon, so Sihyun was wide awake. He had even prepared a meal in case Spica came home later than usual and was hungry after work.
And he was wearing a cheongsam!
"......Slurp..."
Sihyun's black cheongsam was incredibly provocative. As expected from an outfit bought at an adult shop, it exposed his shoulders and arms, and there was a hole at the chest that revealed his cleavage. Most of all, the high side slits went so deep that almost all of his thighs were visible. Though the material was cheap, the thin fabric made it seem like his skin would show through. The hem of the dress swayed with every step. Those occasional glimpses of Sihyun's thighs. Even while sitting at the dining table, Spica couldn't take her eyes off the smiling Sihyun. She was so busy staring at the opening at his chest that she couldn't even tell if Sihyun's precious food was going into his mouth or his nose.
"Hehehe."
".......Sihyun-ssi, that..."
"Let's eat first. Then we'll take a bath."
"Yes."
Only then did Spica taste the food, and as always, it was delicious. It wasn't delicious because of the power of love or anything—it was just genuinely good. She had already eaten half of it before she could even come to her senses, so the bowls were emptied in the blink of an eye.
"Sihyun-ssi! Now that we're done eating..."
"No! Go take a bath first!"
Sihyun skillfully pushed the rushing Spica into the bathroom. Before she could even say 'I'm back from washing up!', Spica found herself standing in front of a bathtub filled with warm water.
".....I already showered..."
Even while grumbling, Spica followed Sihyun's words and submerged herself in the tub.
"Uwaaaaa..."
But the moment her body sank into the warm water, all her complaints from earlier vanished. She could physically feel the stress she hadn't even realized she was carrying melt away in an instant.
"Huuu..... This feels nice..."
Today's Magic Beast appearance hadn't been that difficult. It was a monster she could have handled easily even before her special awakening, and there were no particular difficulties today either. It felt more like pest control—annoying and dirty, but neither dangerous nor scary. After all, missing a bug doesn't get people killed.
"........"
Before meeting Sihyun, taking baths had been quite high on Spica's list of stress-relief methods. Sometimes, just meeting people was exhausting and she simply wanted to empty her mind. Sinking into warm water had always been good for that. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since she'd taken a proper bath instead of just a shower. While skinship with Sihyun that wiped away stress in one go was always wonderful, occasionally melting away slowly like this in a bath was nice too.
".....Wouldn't it be even better if I did some 'nyang nyang' with Sihyun-ssi while bathing?"
Spica's intelligence increased by 23!
Spica's stress decreased by 30!
"Ha... the bath was great..."
When Spica finished bathing and came out to the changing room, what awaited her was a set of red cheongsam and underwear. Aside from that, there was only a towel.
".......Alright."
Spica realized the time had come.
