Chapter 1

Wait I'm a foxgirl now?

Released 2 August 2025

It’s the middle of the night. In a small, boring, and forgettable town, a “young man” gets back from work.

???
???
I’m back home~.
…
nothing…

He recently graduated from high school, and is living alone now.
It’s already night, and he’s looking out of a window from his apartment, and watching the night sky, like he usually does, and starts thinking about his life.
But then, out of nowhere, a small purple fox-like creature files in his view.

???
???
Hello!! Do you want to become a witch?
Yes I know you want to be one!

Out of surprise the person falls down on the floor, and the creature-like thing flies in the room.

???
???
Who are you? Or rather, what are you??

???
???
Oh sorry for the sudden surprise.
As you can see, I’m a Sternchen, and I’ve come to pick you up as my next witch.

???
???
Really? Am I dreaming right now?

???
???
I think you’re now more awake after having fallen down.
But if you still think it’s a dream, you can hold me.

The person touches and holds the magical creature that could be mistaken for a plushie, since it has soft fur and is sized like one. They feel more relaxed now.

???
???
But aren’t you mistaking me for someone else?
I mean, isn’t there someone else better suited for this?

They whisper that, expecting rejection. But the Sternchen affirms.

???
???
Oh don’t worry silly, you’re perfect for this~ ☆
Besides, I know you want to be a girl.

???
???
g-girl?

???
???
Yes. I mean you’re already a girl, but don’t look like one, right?
Well when you turn into a witch, you’ll look like how you are on the inside.
Very beautiful, and cute~ ☆

The girl, already blushing, is a bit surprised by this. She still thinks it’s all a dream, but also sees it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And she obviously doesn’t want to miss this chance, but she’s still a bit doubtful.

???
???
What’d it mean to become a witch?
And why did you pick me out of all people?

???
???
You’ll make a pact with me, and you’ll become a witch and then go to a magic academy and learn magic with many other witches there.
The reason why I picked you was because the inner hidden you just looked so cute and beautiful, and I wanted her to give a new chance.
Trust me you’ll love her too when you see her 💜.

Without much hesistation the girl asks:

???
???
So what do I have to do to make that pact?

The magical creatures summons a very small purple gemstone.

???
???
Just gulp this gemstone and I’ll become your familiar and you’ll turn into a witch, it’s that easy~
Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt~ ☆

The girl quickly takes the gemstone and swallows it. For her, anything other than her current life sounds better. And becoming a cute girl, that’s what she always wanted, but never was granted.
At first, nothing happens, but then the girl gets dizzy and passes out.

After half an hour, she wakes up…

???
???
Good morning foxgirl~
Even though it’s still the middle of the night~

???
???
f-Foxgirl?

???
???
Yes you! Just look in the mirror.

She stands up and takes a look in the mirror, and then gets surprised:

Sophia looking in the mirror

???
???
WAIT I’M A FOXGIRL NOW???
I mean, I don’t mind it at all. Foxgirls are pretty cute…
But… how???

???
???
Like I said earlier, when you become a witch, you become your true self.
And that true self for you is being a cute foxgirl~ ☆

The foxgirl still couldn’t believe it, actually being a foxgirl. Actually being happy with yourself. Actually being…a girl…

???
???
Oh right, you should probably pick a new name.
I bet you don’t want to keep your old one around.
And you also have to give me a name too!

The girl thinks for a moment…

Sophia
Sophia
Hmm...
 
Then I’ll be Sophia.
Sophia Fuchsia.
The cute foxgirl Sophia~ :3
 
And you’ll become Foxy, since you look like a cute fox plushie~

Foxy
Foxy
Aww thanks for giving me such a cute name~

Afterwards Sophia kept looking in the mirror and admired herself. She never was so happy in her life before.
