After a simple wash, Saifei'er used Ailiya's towel to dry herself, being especially careful when drying her hair and cat ears.
Speaking of which, Saifei'er was currently living off Ailiya's money for food and lodging, and even using Ailiya's things to bathe. In a sense, this gave her the feeling of being taken care of. She could only say that her luck in encountering Ailiya and the others was truly good, otherwise she would probably still be worrying about food and shelter.
Fortunately, her hair wasn't very long, just a bit past her shoulders, so it wasn't particularly troublesome to manage. After drying it sufficiently, she put on her underwear and quietly called out to Ailiya outside, "I'm done!"
"I'm coming now!" Ailiya said, walking to the bathroom door. The moment she opened the cubicle door, she felt a white shadow flash past her, leaving only a faint scent.
It was Saifei'er. She quickly darted out the moment Ailiya opened the door, leaping onto the wall opposite the bathroom in one bound. Her heels were suspended in the air, her feet pressing slightly against the wall, and with a second jump, she landed on the single bed and burrowed into the covers.
Ailiya was stunned. She looked at the empty bathroom, then at the bulging covers next to her, and only then realized what had just happened. "So fast!?"
Her eyes seemed to sparkle with little stars as she excitedly ran to Saifei'er's bedside, "Saifei'er Sister, how did you do that just now?"
Saifei'er was currently sitting on the bed in a duck-like posture, completely wrapped in the quilt with only her head exposed. "Uh... just, exercise more, train more, and you can probably do it..."
Actually, even Saifei'er herself was quite surprised. She had just been too shy, with her mind full of getting into bed quickly, and then she had performed that set of movements very smoothly.
Hearing her nonsensical lie, Ailiya actually showed a look of sudden realization. "Is that how it is? I understand!"
Then she skipped off to the bathroom. After some time, Saifei'er, seeing that she hadn't come out, couldn't help but ask, "Ailiya? Aren't you going to change the bathwater?"
Ailiya's voice came from the bathroom, "No need, I think this water is quite clean, so I'll just use it directly."
A while later, Ailiya, having finished her bath and changed into a very cute pink pajama, came out of the bathroom while drying her hair. The first thing she saw was Saifei'er with a flushed face.
'So... so cute!' The thought, which had appeared countless times, once again crossed Ailiya's mind.
Saifei'er shook her head. Looking at Ailiya, since the other party didn't care, why was she overthinking it! To divert her thoughts, she casually found a topic and asked, "Ailiya, you keep calling me... Sister, how old are you?"
Ailiya sat on her bed, "I just celebrated my 16th birthday not long ago. Saifei'er Sister, you're taller than me and look so beautiful and mature, you must be an older sister, right~"
'Beautiful... mature...'
For her, who had only just become a girl today, this description made her feel somewhat complicated. But as for age, if her previous life was counted, she was in her early twenties, indeed a little older than Ailiya, so the other party's address of 'Sister' should be fine.
Immediately after, Saifei'er suddenly realized something. When she usually looked at Ailiya, it was mostly at eye level, so their heights should be similar. But perhaps it was because of her cat ears that Ailiya felt she was a bit taller when looking at her.
But there was one problem: Saifei'er was wearing high heels, while Ailiya was wearing flat shoes. So... in terms of net height, Ailiya should be taller than her!?
For some reason, the moment she understood this, Saifei'er's first reaction was 'I can't let Ailiya know about this.' Perhaps... it was to protect the dignity of an older sister?
After all, the other party called her 'Sister,' and if she turned out to be shorter than the other party, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
While Saifei'er was lost in thought, Ailiya suddenly said excitedly, "Oh, right, right! I heard before that other girls chat together before going to bed at night, about girl topics. But I never had any female friends before. This is a rare opportunity, Saifei'er Sister, would you like to chat with me?"
Saifei'er was startled. "Huh?"
Ailiya continued to talk to herself, "Let me think, what should we talk about? Oh, how about the story of the hell book? This is a very terrifying magic book. It is said that as long as you open it, the scenes of hell will be projected into our world, and endless demons will rush out of the book!"
Saifei'er raised an eyebrow at this. This... is this right? Do girls really talk about such things among themselves?
Although she said 'chat,' Ailiya was basically doing all the talking, while Saifei'er just listened silently.
As night deepened, the tired Ailiya's voice gradually became softer as she spoke, and she unconsciously fell asleep. Saifei'er, on the other hand, lay on her side, silently looking at the night sky outside the window.
A red 'moon' was very conspicuous; it should be this world's satellite.
'Another world...' Saifei'er murmured softly, then habitually turned over, wanting to lie flat and sleep. However, she accidentally pressed on the base of her tail, and her mouth twitched slightly. She had no choice but to revert to her previous side-lying position.
Because of the presence of her tail, she might never be able to sleep on her back again.
The next morning, when Saifei'er woke up, the first thing she saw was her smooth, delicate calves and cute little feet. She found herself hugging her own plump thighs, and her tail was wrapped in circles around her right calf. Her entire body was almost curled into a 'cat ball,' occupying only about a third of the single bed.
She rubbed her still somewhat blurry eyes, untangled the tail wrapped around her calf, and slowly sat up to stretch.
"Ha~"
Speaking of which, her current body's flexibility was truly astonishing. She could maintain that posture all night and wake up without any soreness.
It seemed to be very early, with only a tiny bit of the sun just appearing outside. However, Saifei'er had no sleepiness left at all. She tiptoed out of bed and put on her only set of clothes.
Finally, she put on her hood and tied her leg bands. She planned to go out and move around now, to get more accustomed to her current body.

PS: In the game, Saifei'er has a young girl's (shao nü) physique, which means her height is similar to Ruan Mei, Daheitian, and March 7th, with a net height of around 1.63 to 1.64 meters. According to the setting, the Golden-Haired Brave's net height is 1.67 meters, slightly taller.
