"... haah~..." Getting discharged and changing into women's clothing was a mess... Changing out of the loose hospital gown into lingerie was a complete mess--asking a nurse for help with my excuse of forgetting was miserable... "I... guess I need to womanize myself..." I swore not to mess up my life as a girl; which meant... Having to know how to do makeup and hair, know fashion trends, and how to act like and be a girl... how do they keep up with everything; I haven't even thought of everything yet as a previous guy I feel overwhelmed? Sigh; I'll keep to my looks first.

  I wore a light blue sun dress that was given to me - the original clothing Alicia wore was both dirtied and ripped due to the accident - as I was discharged... The breeziness felt a little uncomfortable - even inside the hospital -, but... "It is something I will need to get used to it as a girl..." I told myself quietly... I wondered how girls wear short skirts and miniskirts...

  I kept a map on my phone to where I needed to go and looked at it intensely. I also brought my satchel bag that I could now carry now that strength came back to me. With everything I felt needed, I marked the pce that was supposedly my home. It wasn't far; just a train station ride from Thersia to Arcastea and some walking.

  As I left the hospital, I realized when I walked that I somehow felt it was natural for me to walk... in this girly way. As I sat down on the train seat, I also felt it natural for me to sit in a girly way... Perhaps--... Some part of Alicia's feminine instincts were still left in the body for everyday tasks.

  The trip was uneventful with nothing to note... In enough time, I soon approached the address that was my new home. Being here, I looked for the key to open our house. I had to go through the various keys in my keychain to open our door. I fumbled around with the various keys - trying to insert a key before trying again with another - until I found the right one and twisted the key into the keyhole and opened the door.

  "Hello--eh?" A... little girl just a little shorter then me said before putting her hand to her mouth... She must be my younger sister.

  I gave a friendly light wave, "I'm... back..."

  "Alicia..." Why...? Did she look so frightened? At me? "I'm... I--... I'm sorry--..." Eh?

  "What are you sorry for Cecelia?" Oh--er, I... don't know anything about Alicia's and Cecelia's retion; for it could be that they could be close or extremely hostile to each other...

  "I'm... a burden... I caused everything! Mommy and Daddy died because of me!" Eh...? "Bad... things always happen because of me!..." How--...

  "Idiot..." I uttered before putting her between my--err, lower breasts... "I don't know--don't know what happened before, but please rely on me forward on." I kept her close to my body and hugged her.

  Cecelia during the short hug kept on struggling, escaping soon enough... Cecelia seemed to have to be utterly frightened by me; for some reason... I had no idea what caused this - perhaps my odd actions did.

  "Exc--excuse me..." She ran off before I could say anything. I heard quick steps from inside the house and a door shut...

  "Ano--..." I... what...?

  ... ... ...

  "I--... guess I should see what we have..." I uttered as I took off my loafers and socks...

  By the looks of it outside, the house didn't look terribly big; suitable for a family of 2 alongside the parents. I went through to find the kitchen through the living area. I looked through the fridge, looking at what there was to eat, only to find...

  "... Nothing?!" Who--...? I looked at the sink to see some dirty silverware and a few ptes that looked recent. I then went to the garbage to see... "Ah--instant meals..." The dreaded instant meals...

  Well--err... I need to think of something; it was only 10:44 so I had a lot of time. I wasn't familiar with this area of Arcastea, but since this is the Residential District, there should be basic grocery shops nearby.

  As long as I leave by 11:15, I should be able to make it back to cook something in time before it is evening.

  Now--err... where is my room?

  I went to room to room; finding where the washroom was, the bathroom, what looks like to be our parent's room (Judging by the rge clothes and male clothing), what looked like... My room (Judging by the girly looks of the room), and a locked door that I assumed was Cecelia's room... Though it didn't help that my room was the st room I found.

  "Now--..." Err--time to dress up and go out. I still had no idea what fashion trend I should follow; and I for sure didn't want myself to look like a fool... I took off my sun dress that was given to me and looked at--...

  ... Now was the first time I could take a good look at my body... Err--, I shouldn't take too much of note; I took a more petite stature then I imagined, I was quite slim. I had no impression of my height, but I was sure once I saw others around my age I could determine how my height faired. Aside from my height, I had fair-white legs that felt devoid of fat and petite arms... Yet... "... Ho--how does someone like this have such..." Moderately rge breast? Under the bra, my breast seemed much rger than my body proportions match. They weren't massive; but for sure they weren't small or average for someone this size. I knew they were rge when I left, but--! I shook my head--I shouldn't dwell over breast; it is apart of me, and I shouldn't act like it is weird... Besides the spots that would draw attention the most; my eyes were a special shiny-orange peach color and nicely shaped - they were beautiful. Above that, my light brown hair stretched down straight to around my chest. My bangs naturally formed itself slightly in front of my eyes and swept themselves to the left nicely. I always wanted to do this; "Ah... feels so nice..." The small breeze of air that came from my hair falling after quickly lifting it above my head felt nice and pleasing...

  ... In all, I was definitely a beautiful girl...

  "Haah..." I needed to focus; I had to go shopping. So I went to my closest to look for clothing--... err...

  ... ... ...

  ... Sigh; I really did know nothing... There were dresses, skirts, and shirts... Err--blouses they were called, I think? There were no pants here at all... After looking at a white frilly skirt and a white blouse, I decided to wear that...

  "Ugh--straps..." Trying to strap the skirt behind my hips felt miserable. After the nurse helped me with a bra, this now felt much easier, yet still odd to put on compared to the slip-on and zipper button pants I used to wear. After I fumbled around and got my skirt strapped inside, I suddenly realized that this was the pain and experiences girls feel all the time. Thinking about it, this would be a common feeling from here on out for me... and I still haven't even experienced my menstrual... "Ugh~!" Menstrual--how... will I accept that?

  I took a deep breath--, "When it comes, I suppose it is something I will need to deal with." For the time being, I need to focus on getting stuff to make dinner.

  I took my wallet which had 10000 Marks (Counted before I left the hospital), which was more than enough for tonight's dinner.

  "Ano--thank you..." I uttered to the kind store woman who walked with some of my bags to my house...

  She shook her head, "It is fine; I just can't help imaging what a girl like you carrying all your stuff home would be like."

  The woman dropped my bags in front of the door and asked me if it was fine there. I told her it was the bags were fine, and thanked her again. I slowly brought the bags to the kitchen through three total trips.

  "Time to cook." I took out the apron from my bag and wore it--... It... Even as the one wearing it; it felt so much different from before with... breast...

  I didn't pn to do a rge or especially complex meal, but I did want to cook something simple. Simple curry was my idea; chopped vegetables and meat with rice.

  ... My... skills with a knife seemed so sloppy... I knew what to do, yet this hand felt clumsy with a knife. Perhaps it was me overthinking my change from a guy to a girl, though... It could also be the natural instincts and control Alicia had on herself; she held no skill in holding a knife...

  Considering this; I took it to myself to simply be careful with a knife. Having sloppy cuts was fine, and I rather have sloppy cuts then cut myself whilst cooking here. I'll simply train myself in controlling my new body over time.

  ... After around an hour of chopping the meat and vegetables, and cooking the meat then the vegetables, then slow cooking everything in water and adding the pastes whilst cooking the rice in the side (I thank they had a rice cooker), the curry was done...

  "Lunch is done, come eat!" I yelled in the hopes that Cecelia would come...

  ... ... ...

  Nothing--er... This--how will I fix our retionship...? Sigh--, well...

  "I'll leave a note for her outside her door that there is food..." I didn't know how I should act; if I should be forceful or not. I was scared that acting too much would frighten her even further, so I kept to being a bothersome, concerned older sister.

  Though... I guess I will need to do some work today; doing research on how to be a girl and see what trends are.

  "Sigh--... Maybe I'm doing too much..." Maybe I was fine as I was, but I didn't want to ruin my life.

  I looked to my phone; today was a free day. Though tomorrow would be when Doctor--err, I suppose it would be just Halcation since I'm not in the hospital, Halcation would see us for discussion on our future.

  "Time for research."
