(Caption) Butterfly Mage Girl

He had heard since childhood about the legend of butterfly mages. People said they lived deep in the forest and could use mysterious butterflies to deliver messages. Out of curiosity, he walked into the forest alone. Soon, he truly saw a group of glowing butterflies. They circled around him, sometimes pausing as if waiting for him to follow. His heart stirred, and he trailed after them through the winding forest paths until he found a house that seemed wrapped in a dreamlike haze.

The house was quiet, with only a heavy book resting on a table in the center. The butterflies landed on its cover, as though guiding him. He reached out and slowly opened it. In an instant, a swarm of butterflies burst from the pages and whirled around him. Their glowing wings scattered points of light across his body, and he felt himself growing lighter as his clothes began to change.

Looking down, he saw that his old clothes had vanished. In their place was a robe of white and green. The hem was wide, lined with intricate patterns like tangled vines, with a faint sheen along the inner lining. The outer fabric was light and neat, glowing softly whenever butterflies passed over it. Around the waist was a deep red corset, pulled tight with black laces, shaping a clear, slender line. Just above the hem, a thin layer of lace peeked out, delicate as if it might shatter like ice.

Her legs were wrapped in smooth black stockings that traced graceful lines down to her feet, where she now wore light-colored shoes, their straps crisscrossing neatly across the tops. The wide sleeves of the robe turned back to reveal a bright green inner lining, showing sharp contrast whenever she lifted her hands. At her chest was a dark ribbon tied into a bow, echoing the motif of butterflies. Every detail of the robe seemed to carry traces of butterfly magic, with tiny patterns that would occasionally glimmer, as though breathing with her will.

Long hair now draped over her shoulders, strands swaying gently in the air. A strange new sensation pressed at her chest. Stunned, she touched her cheek and realized her features had softened as well.

She blinked at the butterflies dancing before her, a joy rising in her heart that she could not describe. In that moment, she understood—she had become the legendary butterfly mage.

The butterflies circled her, waiting for their new master's command. She lifted her hand and waved gently. At once, they scattered in trails of glowing light. She smiled. Just moments ago, she had been an ordinary person, but from now on, she would live as a butterfly mage girl, exploring the secrets of the book and the forest.
