I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 65

I collected all the food items, tidied up the living room and kitchen roughly, and brought the ‘rabbit nightgown dress’ I had taken from the Yae-Do headquarters into the bathroom.

First, I removed my clothes, hand-washed them, wrung them out, and placed them on the small rack outside the door. Then, I closed the bathroom door, tiptoed to hang the sleep dress and underwear in the overhead clothing area.

Then came the same routine as the previous few days… taking a shower.

Back when I was still a man, I used to wash my hair almost every day while taking a shower, just pouring shampoo on my head and applying body wash on my body. A quick rub, a rinse, and I’d be out in less than ten minutes.

Now that I’ve become a girl, I found my old way of showering to be rather awkward.

Leaving aside the fact that I now had long hair… it was impossible to deal with in just ten minutes.

Washing a girl’s hair is quite troublesome, and since I didn’t have the proper tools here, I ended up washing it for about half an hour all by myself in the bathroom every time, and I had to blow-dry it for a long time afterward.

The advantage, however, is that every time I finished, I felt a sense of accomplishment when I looked at my long hair with a faint, refreshing fragrance.

It’s like taking care of a daughter in a simulation game.

Except now, I’m taking care of myself.

A girl’s body is delicate, fragile, and has less strength, but I have to say it’s genuinely comfortable.

My skin is now very sensitive. Similar to the way muscle soreness feels after regular exercise, it’s several times stronger than that of a male. When my hand gets tired from holding things or I feel pain, the soreness is more intense than in men. But, in return… the comfort and pleasure of this body are several times greater than when I was still a man.

For example, after a long day of work, with the entire body sore, drenched in sweat, and utterly exhausted, taking a hot shower feels incredibly comfortable. And the “comfort” for a girl lasts longer and brings more mental clarity and delight compared to a man.

It’s as if every cell in my body has been moisturized, and my skin, cleaned by the hot water, feels soft and tender with a supple sensation. My brain experiences an unprecedented relaxation, and the fatigue vanishes. The soreness is replaced by a full-body and mind relaxation, as if I’ve returned to the embrace of nature.

This feeling is strongest when I’ve just finished taking a hot shower in the bathroom, put on clean and fresh clothes, and think, “I can just lie down and go to sleep.”

“Ah…”

After spending more than half an hour washing my hair, another half an hour to clean my body, drying off completely, I changed into underwear, and then took the rabbit sleep dress.

A nightgown.

Unless something unexpected happens, this should be my first time wearing this.

The most noticeable difference between a dress and pants is that the lower half is completely open. If there were people around, making larger movements might reveal what’s beneath the skirt…

And this is a sleep dress.

The design philosophy of a sleep dress is lightweight, close-fitting, and low in weight, and this one is no exception.

The rabbit sleep dress in my hands… the hem reaches about halfway down my thighs, and the shoulder area is exposed. Paired with the two rabbit ears in the back, I don’t know whether to call it sexy or cute.

Well… it’s not like anyone else is home, so I guess it doesn’t really matter what I wear.

I quietly thought to myself.

It’s like I can use any avatar I want, just like playing a male or female character in a game. Since I’m about to go to sleep, it shouldn’t be a big deal to wear this, right?

Although… maybe… this dress is a little… girlish?

In the bathroom, I hesitated for a while while holding the nightgown, but in the end, I unfolded the clothing and put it on.

I slid my hands through the soft lace-trimmed sleeves, allowing my snow-white shoulders to peek through the specially designed areas. I adjusted the hem of the dress, making it gently hug my body. After a quick check, I felt that everything looked fine, and I stepped out of the bathroom.

So light…

It seemed to be drizzling outside the window, and as I pushed open the bathroom door, a whiff of rain hit me. It collided with the warmth of my body, leaving me feeling refreshed.

However, in this state, it seems like a girl’s body…

Lacks a sense of security?

I examined myself, wearing this soft rabbit sleep dress.

I couldn’t see the rabbit ears behind me, and there was a slight bulge at my chest, and it felt rather chilly below.

Because I had just come out of the bathroom, my exposed shoulders and hands looked as delicate as snowflakes, and my legs under the skirt seemed breathtakingly beautiful…

It’s cute and comfortable, but… a little embarrassing.

By the way, it seems like that certain Grim Reaper really bailed on today’s “meeting.”

Coming out of the bathroom, I looked around the living room of my rental house with some frustration.

Wasn’t someone supposed to come by this time tomorrow? If they don’t show up soon, I’ll have to go to sleep!

Stepping on the damp slippers, I made my way to the computer. I pulled out a diary from the drawer and picked up a pen.

—

[May 4, 2022, Saturday, overcast with rain]

[Today, I worked a part-time job at the convention center and earned a thousand bucks. I’m very happy, mood +10. But in the evening, I was stood up by a certain unreliable person, which made me unhappy, mood -5.]

[If that person dares to come over in the middle of the night and wake me up, I’ll definitely give her a mosquito swatter punch.]

Sitting on the computer chair, I hesitated for a moment and crossed out “mosquito swatter” and changed it to “punch.”

After quickly finishing the diary entry, I intentionally spread the diary on the table in the living room, didn’t turn off the living room lights, took a sheet of letterhead paper, and with a pen in hand, I went to the bedroom. Then, with a “plop,” I jumped onto the small bed and pulled the mosquito net closed.

Since I’ve been having all sorts of strange dreams lately and couldn’t remember the content upon waking up, I decided to write down what happened in the dream as quickly as possible during the period when I vaguely remembered it after just waking up.

I placed the pen and paper by the bedside.

Ahh… this sleep dress is really comfortable!

Lying on the bed, I pulled my small blanket into my arms, sandwiched my legs, rolled to the left and then to the right.

Sleeping with a blanket wrapped around you as a girl is really stress-relieving!

I hope I can dream tonight about what the so-called past with Miss Grim Reaper was like.

With that thought in my mind, I found the most comfortable position on the bed with the blanket, turned off my phone screen, and said, “Good night, Nuo’er.”

“…”

This is a world filled with sadness, tears, cries, and darkness.

Rainwater from above drips through twisted tree leaves, pattering on my head, shoulders, and the backpack on my back, making a “clack clack clack” sound.

In front of me is an inconspicuous cave.

?You’re still the same as before, hiding in a corner after getting hurt?

I don’t know whose voice it was, but it sounded like it came from my mouth.

?This is a bad habit of the demon race. Demons are not good at trusting others, and when they’re injured, it’s when they are most vulnerable. So, they hide, like an injured kitten licking its wounds alone.?

?It’s okay, lean on me a bit more. You don’t need to hide. I can help you heal.?

?Does it hurt??

?Take this with you. If you ever encounter danger again and want to hide, just light this up. No matter where I am, I’ll find you.?

—

The scene changes, and I seem to be lying in the arms of a certain girl.

?Why… did you save me… save a demon like me…?

?Because… if it’s you who gets hurt, you’ll definitely hide in some strange corner, and then I might… cough cough… I might not be able to find you. You’ve never been willing to activate that…?

?You’ll die.?

?It’s okay. In this world, besides you… I no longer have any family. Being able to die in your arms like this… for me, it’s also a fulfilling… ending.?

—

?Is what you mentioned earlier, reincarnation and transmigration, true??

?There are records of similar laws in root magic, yes, but no one has truly achieved it… cough cough… after all, the laws in each world are different…?

?I will find you.?

?What…?

?If reincarnation exists, just like you said… this time, it’s my turn to protect you.?

?Silly, you are now the strongest demon, second only to the Demon King. As long as you don’t delve into forbidden magic…?

—

?My dear, you said that girls have the right to be willful.?

?This time…?

?Let me be a little willful.?
