“Little Nice, pay attention to safety.”

“Little Nice, play in other places. I’m very busy.”

“Little Nice, I, your sister, bring you new toys.”

Whenever she heard these things, Nice was very sad.

Why did people all call her “Little Nice”! She was obviously not little!

In just a few days, she would be thirteen years old.

A 13-year-old girl seemed to be nearly an adult. In some relatively backward areas, many young girls of this age could even marry and have children. Even on earth, China, the country with the longest history of civilization, had always followed the rule that a 14-year-old woman is able to raise children. Ancient Chinese people used the nominal age, which was exactly 13 years old.

However, because Nice inherited more fairy blood than usual from her mother’s side, her growth rate was a bit slow. She was already 13 years old, but it seemed that she was still only about 10 years old, or even younger. In short, she looked juvenile. Because she looked so young, everyone liked to add a “little” when calling her name. Thus “Nice” became “Little Nice.”

This made Nice very upset, and she often complained to her mother and sister about it.

“Why does this matter? You are really little,” said Mrs. Teague.

“But my sister is only five years older than me!” Nice protested. “People call her ‘Miss Liv,’ and some even ‘Mrs. Liv’!”

Liv couldn’t help but smile. “Because I’m more mature. Just a few years down the line, people will start calling you Miss Nice,” she said.

Nice stared at her sister’s eyes steadfastly. After a few seconds, Liv couldn’t help but turn her face away. Nice shouted, “Sister, you’re lying!”

“I didn’t lie to you. You will grow up in a few years.”

“When you were thirteen, you were much taller than I am now!” Nice gestured. “At that time you were almost as tall as your mother!”

Liv grinned. Because she had a more human bloodline, her physical development was basically unaffected. When she was thirteen, she was a small adult.

“We are sisters! Why are we so different?” Nice said sadly. “You must have taken away my height!”

“Can this kind of thing be taken away?” Liv grimaced, turning to look at her mother and get some support.

However, Mrs. Teague just laughed and said nothing; she knew the two daughters were calmly arguing about unfounded issues.

Because she learned a lot of government affairs from her husband, she was also known as an expert in this area. Currently, in Gars City, she was in a position with a not-so-low status, and good income. A good job, of course, also inevitably made her busy. Every day back from work, watching Nice disputing with her sister about height and other issues became light entertainment.

Liv was made speechless, and ended up blurting out nonsense. “You have inherited more elves’ heritage. Although you grow up slower, you’re aging slower too! When your sister is old and dead, you will be young!”

“I don’t want my sister to die!” Nice cried.

After some trouble, Liv, was exhausted and went to take a rest. Nice was tired too, and fell asleep. She slept soundly and had a funny dream.

In the dream, she returned to the original road from Golden Tower City to Cloud Tower City. She held a pink pig in her left hand and a green jellyfish in her right hand, and smiled sweetly.

Just then, the jellyfish opened its mouth.

“Nice, do you want to grow up?”

Nice nodded, naturally. “Yeah! I want to grow up!”

“Why?”

“When I grow up, I can help my mother and my sister.”

The green jellyfish could not help but laugh. “You’re a good kid,” it said.

“I’m not a kid!” Nice protested angrily.

“Okay, okay, you’re not a kid,” The green jellyfish whispered. “The period has arrived when you’ve become rebellious.”

It ignored Nice when she asked what rebellious meant, and pondered a bit. Eventually it said, with interest, “Do you want to grow up now?”

“Of course!” Nice nodded.

“You should know, growing up may not be a good thing,” the jellyfish said, laughing. “When you grow up, it means that you have to live according to the rules of the adults. It may be very hard.”

“I want to grow up!”

Seeing her determination, the jellyfish laughed again. “Well, you can find me in your dreams, and it’s because we are friends. I’ll help you!”

After that, it waved its tentacles and made a strange green bracelet. It put the bracelet on Nice’s left wrist.

“If you want to get bigger, turn the bracelet and read the spell.”

The next morning, when the sun fell on the bed through the window, Nice opened her eyes.

“Ah... where is the jellyfish?” she asked, confused. Then she realized that she was just dreaming, and could not help but sigh deeply. “I just dreamt...”

Suddenly, she felt as though she had touched something on her left wrist. When she looked down, she found a strange green bracelet, which was the same as what she saw in her dreams. She looked at the bracelet in astonishment. She was a bit embarrassed, and did not know whether she was dreaming or in reality.

After a while, she jumped out of bed, turned the bracelet, and read the spell.

“Magic Girl, Transform!”

A green glow rose from the bracelet and enveloped her. Within a few moments, when the light was dispersed, there was no longer a silver-haired half-elven girl standing by the bed, but a beautiful, vigorous and cheerful woman with green hair.

She still retained some of the characteristics of an elf: sharp ears, slim slender limbs. But in terms of the appearance and body, she was at least equivalent to 17 years old, and full of youthful vitality. In terms of figure, Nice was now even more feminine than her sister Liv.

Before she transformed, she was wearing a child’s dressing gown. Now, amazingly, she was wearing a green robe. The main body of this set of robe was a splendid dress with many flashy runes, full of mysterious and noble impressions. There were small bits of armor attached to her arms and legs, which not only provided strong defense, but also could cast some spells when necessary.

According to the instructions of the green jellyfish, Nice drew a strange symbol on her chest with both hands and whispered, “Swords of Wind!”

With her call, the armor on her small arms flew up, twisted in the air, and turned into two curved daggers. A breeze wrapped around them, filling them with wonderful power. She let her hands go, and the Swords of Wind remained still in the air. She tried to direct them with thoughts and they were very obedient to her wills.

Nice smiled happily, and put away the Swords of Wind. She went on to test the other two weapons: Gun of Thunder, and Wings of Fire Phoenix.

The former was made up of the armor on the calves, where the two armors on the legs combined, distorted, and became a spear. It could be used as a weapon in close combat, and it could also be thrown where it would automatically track the target.

The latter were crimson wings that stretched out from her back, allowing her to fly freely and gain unparalleled mobility.

After she tested these wonderful abilities, Nice smiled happily.

Although the transformation only took five minutes, in these five minutes she not only grew up but also had a magical powers!

“It wasn’t a dream! It’s a good jellyfish!”

The green jellyfish floating high in the air snorted and wondered, “Who is saying bad things about me? Is it Little Nice complaining about me, that the props I gave her could only take effect for five minutes at a time?

“There’s no other way. Transformation puts a burden on the body. In order for her not to leave screaming, she can only have almost five minutes of transformation at a time,” Sui Xiong said to himself. “Anyway, she’s just playing with it. Even if she was trying to save the world, it would not be her turn because she is a fake magic girl.”

He convinced himself with this, and he smiled. He turned to lie down in the clouds and slept. The night before, Little Nice intruded his dream and shocked him. Then he was busy making her transforming props all night. It was really exhausting.

In Gars City, Nice had returned to her normal appearance and had finished washing. She ate breakfast, put on her favorite dress, and happily went out. Because her mom and sister were very busy, she always took care of the house to stay in and avoid danger. But today was different. She was already an adult and was fully capable of protecting herself!

A little girl walking alone in the street attracted people’s attention. More than one pair of eyes looked at her with malicious intention, but nobody hurried to harm her. There were many adventurers on the streets of Gars City, and there were quite a few people with a strong sense of justice. If someone tried to abduct a young girl, an adventurer would definitely notice. Criminals would find it difficult to escape the official hunt of Gars City even if they could get rid of the adventurers.

So after waiting for a long time, there was a good-looking fat person who came over to talk with her, and the two became very familiar, as if they were friends. It solved the issue of anyone being suspicious of abduction. The fat man eagerly took Nice everywhere in the city, and finally arrived in front of an unattractive house on a slightly deserted alley.

This was their base. In the past, the traffickers headed by him had already abducted four ignorant girls, and gained a lot of money.

And this stupid little girl was the fifth!

“Sister, I am very capable, no?” Nice said twenty minutes later, running up to her sister, who was a patrol guard. Behind her she was dragging the criminals, who were tied up. Liv was shocked. Her eyes and mouth went wide. She was dazed.

What was wrong with this world? Could even little girls catch human traffickers?!
