Early morning sunlight filtered through the frosted glass of the back door, casting patterns on the dormitory floor.

The girl woke up somewhat groggily, sat up, looked around in confusion, and yawned.

Lin Nan, who was already worried about money, suddenly discovered yet another expense.

Overnight sanitary pads...

Less than ten yuan for a pack wasn't exactly expensive, but she felt heartbroken over this inexplicable expense.

That ten yuan was enough for lunch.

The sanitary pads couldn't be exposed to her other roommates either. Lin Nan could only separate them and hide them in her wardrobe, using them before bed each night, getting up early in the morning to change them, and then having to leave the dorm early to throw away the trash to avoid exposure.

Fortunately today was the weekend, and her roommates were lying in bed like dead pigs catching up on sleep. She trembled as she climbed down from her bed after waking up early.

Her legs were weak...

Menstrual cramps were pure nightmare for Lin Nan. Even though the pain wasn't very intense, it was continuous, wave after wave, and combined with the emotional effects, it made sleeping difficult these past few nights.

The persistent pain even affected her thighs. Every morning when she got up her legs were sore and weak, making her afraid of accidentally falling when getting out of bed.

It feels so uncomfortable down there...

It felt like cotton had been stuffed inside, very unpleasant. She didn't know if she was using it wrong.

Lin Nan had originally thought sanitary pads stuck directly to the body. Last night she studied it for a long time, finally searching online before learning they were supposed to stick to underwear.

She glanced at her still-sleeping roommates. Generally on weekends these three wouldn't get up before noon, and even if they woke up, they'd definitely stay in bed until noon.

She felt much more at ease, grabbed a garbage bag, and hurried into the bathroom.

Purification Magic!

Then she threw the used sanitary pad into the garbage bag and changed into clean boxers... Despite the pad's protection, some had still leaked through.

Was the flow too heavy or had she bought the wrong brand or type?

Lin Nan couldn't figure it out. Although structurally speaking, she'd been female for nearly two months now, before yesterday she hadn't clearly felt what difference there really was between men and women.

But now she was experiencing it...

Being a woman was troublesome, and being a woman hiding in a male dormitory was even more troublesome.

When she came out of the bathroom, Lin Nan was physically and mentally exhausted.

She'd never understood much about women, let alone feminine products.

About ten yuan for a pack, only eight pieces. If she needed to use them during the day, she'd probably have to change every few hours. One pack might only last a day or so.

Fortunately she could use magic during the day, but still needed to keep some on hand in case she forgot to use magic and leaked again.

She stuffed the remaining sanitary pads in her jacket as backup, then went to throw away the garbage. Only then did Lin Nan breathe a sigh of relief, but thinking carefully, this was still only the third day of her period.

Based on previous experience, it would take at least until the day after tomorrow to return to normal.

Lin Nan had originally wanted to go back to sleep, but after all the activity, her drowsy early-morning self had become alert. She simply washed up and sat at her computer to review coursework.

With magic, her studying was almost twice as efficient, except the sanitary pad made her very uncomfortable. She kept having to get up to twist her hips and adjust her pants.

Should I look for work while distributing flyers today?

Lin Nan certainly knew that most quick money-making methods weren't about selling labor but either selling sex appeal or breaking the law. Otherwise it was very difficult to gather enough for rent and living expenses in a short time.

But if she searched hard, maybe she could find something?

She sighed lightly, not holding much hope. Maybe she could borrow money from Lina?

Lin Nan had also considered simply living in Lina's rented room, but thinking that the Lilith living there was essentially still a corpse made her feel chills all over.

However, Lina seemed to have said before that when she completely became a girl, that would also be when Lilith was resurrected... So where was Lilith?

She almost forgot to give Cola breakfast.

She temporarily set aside the completely incomprehensible magical domain, opened her wardrobe, and took out a large bag of cat food.

Unlike before when Cola would eagerly run over as soon as she took out the cat food, today Cola seemed very tired.

Lin Nan looked up at the cat curled up in the corner, approached, crouched down, and gently poked it with her finger:

"Time to get up, breakfast time."

"Meow..."

Cola was startled awake by her, raised its head, and was suddenly so frightened it jumped in place, then arched its back and made threatening cat sounds at Lin Nan.

Lin Nan was startled by it and glared in annoyance: "I'm just waking you up for breakfast. Why such a big reaction?"

"Meow!"

This cat was acting crazy for some reason, standing there staring at Lin Nan for a moment before lowering its head and starting to stare at its own paws.

"Weirdo."

Lin Nan had read online that cats could be neurotic, but their Cola had always been well-behaved with few crazy behaviors. She didn't know what was wrong today.

Maybe it was just startled by me.

After pouring food for the cat and preparing some warm water, Lin Nan stood up, frowning slightly and rubbing her lower abdomen.

Lin Nan prepared to go find Lina. Logically Lilith should have been resurrected yesterday, but she hadn't been resurrected nor taken over her body. While this was good news, matters involving magic still needed to be discussed with Lina, the professional.

Maybe Lilith's resurrection failed and she was completely dead?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Nan couldn't help wanting to laugh, but if that were true, Lina would probably be the first to collapse.

…

…

On weekends, Lina was generally at her off-campus rental studying how to extract Lilith's soul from Lin Nan's body and place it in the body she'd prepared.

She'd brought a large number of soul-related books from the other world. These books were piled up like mountains on the rental room's desk. Even with magic assistance for speed reading, Lina still found these books very troublesome.

After a month, she'd only finished reading half.

Her phone suddenly rang. Lina glanced at the contact name and sensed Lin Nan's aura right outside the rental's iron gate. She didn't answer but directly went to open the door for Lin Nan.

However, seeing Lin Nan again, she was confused.

"Didn't I tell you that after three to five times you'd become a woman and Lilith would be resurrected!" She looked at Lin Nan surrounded by rich magical aura. "You unlocked your third magic too?!"

"Mm."

"Then it should be the fourth time?" Lina frowned. "That's not impossible."

"Um... I've already become a girl." Lin Nan weakly raised her hand. "The problem is, Lilith who was supposed to be resurrected is missing."

"???"
