“… I'm pretty sure I've been waiting for half an hour. Why is little Dandan taking so long to clean herself? Could it be because she's also washing her clothes, making it take even longer?" Vheena muttered as she squatted near one of the ruins by the pool, idly scribbling on the ground with a twig.

“Ugh, that little girl is taking forever to clean up. How much longer do I have to wait here? Waiting this long while my clothes and body are covered in leftover blood and the fluids from that frog monster's insides is truly unbearable.”

Remembering the moments when she was inside the frog monster’s body, Vheena, still squatting, trembled at the thought of what she had just experienced.

“Ugh, damn it. I already have a new body in this fantasy world... So why am I still afraid of frogs and similar creatures? Could it be that the girl whose body I inhabit also had the same fear? Or is it my soul remembering that fear, making this body scared as well?”

Since she couldn't figure out the reason and was too lazy to think about the terrifying incident any further, Vheena decided to shift her thoughts to something else.

“… Whatever, it's useless for me to dwell on it. Besides, I was just unlucky to encounter that creature—no, that disgusting frog monster that I fear because of its grotesque appearance. I'd better think about something else than recalling the time I was inside that revolting monster's stomach.”

“That's right, I should focus on the water in the ruins' pool instead. It's strange how the water turned green after I left it for a month. Could it really be because of moss? I mean, I told little Dandan the water changed color because of moss so she would believe me and take a bath there. But even I don't believe my own words, considering how suspicious that water looks…”

Thinking hard about why the water in the ruins' pool had changed color, Vheena suddenly remembered movies and cartoons from her previous world. The color, atmosphere, and transformation of the pool looked eerily similar to how poison was often depicted.

“…Wait a minute, could the water have changed color because of poison? Hmm... I think that way because in the movies and cartoons I've watched, poison is always shown as green. But this is the real world, and poisons come in many types, some of which are even colorless. I could be wrong. B-but, even so, if it really is poison, wouldn’t little Dandan be in danger since she’s bathing in it?”

Even though she wasn’t entirely sure of her conclusion, Vheena couldn’t help but worry about her student’s safety.

“W-would it be better if I went to check on little Dandan while she’s cleaning herself in the pool? B-but, wouldn’t I be seen as a perverted master for spying on my disciple while she’s undressed? Besides, if it’s really poison, little Dandan, with her unique potion-based body, should be able to withstand it.”

Hesitant to approach her disciple for fear of being labeled a pervert, Vheena couldn’t muster the courage to go. But the longer she waited, the more her anxiety grew, making her decide to go after all.

“Ugh, waiting here while worrying about my disciple’s safety is unbearable. I’d better go check on her. It doesn’t matter if little Dandan calls me a perverted master for peeking at her while bathing—as long as I can confirm her condition.” Vheena said, standing up with a determined expression.

“Besides, I’m now an immortal lady with a pure and innocent mind, far removed from worldly desires. My face even has the expression of a holy girl. There’s no way Dandan-chan would think I’m a pervert. Little Dandan surely wouldn't think that way. Alright, time to go and see her nake— I mean, check on little Dandan’s condition!” She continued.

She walked back toward the pool. Once she was close enough, Vheena carefully peeked from behind the ruins to check on her disciple.

As she spied on the pool, she was stunned to see a undressed girl floating in the water, her green hair and back visible above the surface.

“W-woah, little Dandan is nake—wait! That’s not little Dandan! W-who is that little green-haired girl floating there? C-could she have drowned? I have to save her!”

Panicking at the sight of the unmoving green-haired girl floating in the water, Vheena rushed toward her. However, as she reached the pool's edge, she froze in shock upon seeing the water had turned crystal clear again.

“Huh? The water is clear again? How strange... wait, I shouldn't be thinking about that! That girl is still floating there—I have to save her!”

Vheena swam back toward the floating girl. Once she reached the little girl, she quickly grabbed her under the arms and brought her to the edge of the pool.

After pulling her to the side, Vheena lifted the girl out of the water and placed her on solid ground. Since she had been too focused on getting the girl to safety, she hadn't had a chance to see her face. However, the moment she looked at her, Vheena was stunned—this girl was none other than Gu Dandan, her own disciple.

“Eh?! This girl... little Dandan?! H-how did her hair turn green? What exactly happened?” Seeing Gu Dandan's hair change color sparked Vheena's curiosity. But realizing that her disciple was still in danger after nearly drowning, she quickly pushed those thoughts aside. “Damn it, forget about that. I need to save her first.”

Vheena brought her ear close to Gu Dandan's mouth to check if she was breathing. A wave of anxiety washed over her when she realized she couldn't feel any breath at all. Growing increasingly worried, she tried to recall methods to check for a pulse. Fortunately, she found a faint heartbeat, which prompted her to quickly press on the center of the girl's chest—bigger than most girls her age—in an attempt to expel the water she had swallowed.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

"It's not working! Little Dandan isn't waking up, and she’s not even coughing out the water. What should I do? I’m not very skilled at rescuing drowning people, and performing chest compressions without professional training is risky. Should I keep going and try CPR?"

Hesitation crept in, making her question whether she should continue. But the thought of her disciple's pulse possibly stopping drove her to take action. She decided to press on and perform CPR.

“Guhk… ugh... cough... cough...”

Fortunately, her efforts paid off. Gu Dandan woke up, coughing and spitting out the water she had swallowed.

“Phew, thank goodness you're okay, little Dandan. I was so scared when I saw you floating in the pool. What exactly happened? You were supposed to be cleaning yourself, so how did you end up like this?” Vheena asked, sitting weakly beside her, relief evident on her face.

“Cough... cough... Master...”

As she gazed at her disciple, who now had green hair and eyes, Vheena noticed a sudden change in Gu Dandan's expression. It was as if she had just remembered something, and in an instant, her face turned into one of deep annoyance.

With visible annoyance on her face, her disciple said nothing except for a snort, "Hmph!" Then she walked toward where she had placed her clothes. After picking them up, she left without putting them on, using them only to cover her private parts.

“W-why is little Dandan mad at me? What actually happened?” Confused as to why her disciple, Gu Dandan, was angry with her, Vheena tried to recall what she had done wrong.

“C-could it be…”

Suddenly, she remembered the changes in her disciple's hair, the pool water turning clear again, and her disciple floating after nearly drowning. Connecting all these events, she realized the cause.

“Ugh… no wonder little Dandan is mad at me… she must think I tricked her again. What should I do? I really went too far this time, making her nearly die from absorbing the deadly poison. W-will she forgive me? Even though I intended to deceive her by saying the water changed because of moss so she wouldn't question it anymore, it still almost cost her life because of me.”

Feeling guilty, Vheena could only stand there with a regretful expression, blaming herself for the trouble she had caused.

“Haaah… should I come up with another excuse to trick her so she—no, it’s better if I apologize honestly. It wouldn’t be right to make excuses when it’s clearly my fault. As an adult, I should take responsibility for my mistakes.”

“But before I apologize, I should take a bath and wash my robe first. It would be weird to meet her with a dirty face, messy hair, and soaked clothes. Hopefully, little Dandan will forgive me…”

Taking off her robe and clothes, she washed them in the pool. Once the dirt was gone, she wrung them out until they were no longer wet and placed them in a clean spot. Then, completely undressed, Vheena stepped into the pool to clean herself.

“…As expected of such a perfect body. I’ve never taken care of myself like other women, yet my body always stays so clean and beautiful.” As she touched her skin, Vheena was genuinely amazed by herself. “Could it be that this girl's body truly belongs to an immortal, as people often assume?” she wondered.

“... Well, there's no point in thinking about it. After all, I have no information about who this girl really is. I only know that I became her after arriving in this world. Maybe I’ll find out in the future when I become famous because of my disciples, who will surely become well-known figures in this world… maybe?”

Not wanting to bother with thoughts that gave her a headache, Vheena decided to ignore the matter and leave it for her future self to figure out. For now, she focused on enthusiastically touching and cleaning her skin.

‘Hmm~, even though I don’t feel any desire for my own body, touching such soft and smooth skin is really satisfying… It's just like when I touch little Dandan’s soft skin, especially her ches—damn! Why am I thinking about that moment again? I’m really perverted if I have such thoughts about my own disciple, especially since she’s just a little girl!’

“Ugh, my mind is all over the place. I'd better hurry up and clean myself.” Vheena muttered as she quickened the movements of her hands, scrubbing her dirty white hair.

‘Soft… soft… soft… cpr… soft… cpr...’

“Damn it, stop thinking about it!” Feeling uncomfortable with her stray thoughts, Vheena irritably sped up her bathing so she could go apologize to her disciple.

Unfortunately, her random thoughts kept surfacing, distracting her.

‘Soft… soft… little Dandan… soft… soft… soft… little Dandan… soft… soft… soft… little Dandan… soft… soft… soft… little Dandan… soft… soft… soft… little Dandan… soft…’

“Agghh!”

Unable to take it anymore, Vheena clutched her face with both hands, wearing an expression of frustration.

‘Damn it, I can't deny it… I've become a lolicon! S-since when did I end up like this? Is it because of how adorable and sweet RuanRuan and Linglu are, always staying close and sleeping beside me? And seeing Gu Dandan without clothes… and that cpr moment… was that the final trigger for these made me a lolicon?’

“Ugh… I didn’t expect my mind to wander in this direction. As a transmigrator, shouldn't I either become a kindhearted person who helps everyone and saves the world, or a cold-blooded individual who can kill easily kill someone or even destroy the world? Why have I ended up as someone having a lascivious loli-loving girl? This is so embarrassing!”

“I mean, it was just the soft touch of a little girl's skin! Why Did i become a lolicon just because of that? I have soft skin too! I shouldn't be obsessing over something so trivial!”

As Vheena wrestled with her thoughts like someone caught in a silly daydream, she suddenly spotted her disciple, Gu Dandan, returning to the pool—still undressed except for the clothes covering her private parts—causing her to panic.

“L-l-little soft! Why are you here? Do you need something?”

‘Damn it, I misspoke! And why is she back? Since she’s still undressed, is she planning to bathe with me?!’

As Vheena suspected, Gu Dandan had indeed returned to the pool to bathe and wash her clothes, which she had forgotten earlier. However, instead of bathing together, Gu Dandan chose a spot farther away from her.

Feeling lonely at being ignored, Vheena could only sigh, realizing that her disciple might still be upset. As she watched Gu Dandan with a regretful expression, her disciple briefly glanced at her before snorting, “Hmph!” and ignoring her while soaking to remove the dirt stuck to her back.

Afterward, Gu Dandan put on the freshly cleaned clothes she had wrung dry earlier, then left Vheena once again with another “Hmph!” before walking away.

“Uh… Even Little Dandan, who’s usually so kind and innocent, is ignoring me and snorting multiple times when she saw me... She must be really upset. Looks like I need to apologize sincerely if I want her to forgive me.”

Feeling that her body and hair were now clean, Vheena quickly put on her clothes and robe, then hurried after her disciple to apologize.
