Chapter 128

However, Haihara also knows of an exception: someone who uses colorless Crystal to transform.

--That's the Queen of Magic Girls.

Each Queen has transformed using an ultimate colorless Crystal called "Sovereignty." This Magic Crystal has no attributes; it simply gathers an unbelievable amount of Magic Power to achieve a power comparable to or even surpassing that of the Devil King Crystal.

But that also requires a unique Magic Armament.

But... can the Magic Armament made by Kougami also be used to transform using colorless Crystal?

"Can I transform like this?"

"Yes, but these Crystal are consumable. Once you've used them all, you can use new ones. I've prepared a lot of these over the past few years."

Kougami nodded.

Haihara knew very well that her childhood friend would not disappoint her.

However, after carefully examining the bracelet and then the mass-produced colorless Crystal on her hand, she pondered for a moment:

"Hmm... So, should this be called Magical Girl Birth?"

Her childhood sweetheart's surname Kougami, and he's a Doctor.

This Magic Crystal was transformed from a colorless Crystal that could be obtained from mass-produced grunts, and it was a consumable item.

Naming someone Birth is appropriate in every way.

Kougami Kage didn't understand Haihara's meaning, and just said with slight confusion:

"Huh? I was originally planning to call her Magical Girl Vulcan or Magic Girl Hanoi."

Moreover, she has further plans.

After successfully transforming into a Magic girl, she will create a new battle form and fight using a special Magic Sword. Because it is the first Magic girl project, numbered one, it is named Magic Girl 01.

Because she wields a dazzling Magic Sword, she can also be called Sky Striker Ace.

"..."

I feel like there are even more things to complain about now.

Haihara definitely doesn't want her transformed Magic girl to have such a name.

Let's ignore those for now.

She took the colorless Crystal from Kougami's hand and kneaded it for a while.

It seems... that the original crystal, produced directly from the Devil King Crystal without going through the process of creating Monster, will not be disturbed by the Witch's memories due to contact with Magic Power.

After kneading for a while, she felt Kougami's gaze.

Haihara turned her face away again, a blush of embarrassment spreading across her cheeks.

She needs to overcome her shame before she can say the word "transformation" in front of her childhood friend.

After thinking about it for a while, she came up with a solution.

Since it sounds like a shameful, erotic play, it would be easier for her to accept if we just treated it as real.

"... Kougami, could you close your eyes for a moment?"

Kougami Kage obediently closed her eyes.

After that, Haihara raised her long legs, initially placing them on the bed, and then slowly wrapping them around Kougami's waist.

After sensing Haihara's movement, Kougami trembled slightly.

Then, Haihara Kougami Kage Kougami Kage by little, gently putting her arms around the woman's neck and shoulders, just like she had been in the car.

After maintaining this close contact for a while, Haihara unceremoniously embedded the Crystal into the bracelet, then whispered something in Kougami's ear.

However, to Kougami, these whispers, filled with shame, sounded incredibly alluring.

"Transformation..."

Chapter Sixty-Three: Yes, we'll get married?

Although it has not yet been named, the magical tools that Kougami has created are indeed Magic Armament that ordinary people without Magic Power can use.

By supplying Magic Power with colorless Crystal, one can transform into an artificial Magic girl without any attributes.

After countless tests, Kougami can now present it to Haihara as a gift.

Next, once she witnesses her childhood friend transform into a Magic girl before her eyes, she can truly fulfill her childhood promise.

And after that promise came... marriage.

Kougami closed her eyes, expectant yet slightly nervous, and carefully stroked the other woman's shoulders and waist. At that moment, she suddenly realized how frighteningly thin this woman was, so slender that she could hardly be grasped.

Haihara's voice quickly reached my ears:

"Transformation..."

At this moment, Kougami began to imagine what his childhood sweetheart would look like after transforming.

The appearance of the Magic Gear was, of course, something she had already designed.

However, the girl's appearance will be determined by the mind of the person undergoing the transformation.

Speaking of which, she and Lily separated in high school, missing out on her childhood sweetheart, which has always been a great regret for her.

However, after that, there was silence.

Kougami's childhood sweetheart, whom he was embracing, remained unchanged.

She paused for a moment, then opened her eyes and looked at Haihara in front of her. Although there was still a blush on her face, she was mostly confused.

Not knowing what was going on, Kougami looked at the Magic Armament on Haihara's wrist. The Crystal had been placed there, but nothing had happened.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, then closed again as if in a daze.

The transformation... failed.

Nothing happened.

But that's impossible; she's done prototypes before, and there have been successful transformations in the experiments.

"... Why?"

Kougami Kage's initial anticipation gradually turned into panic.

Since nothing had happened, and she had shouted "transform!" like an idiot, Haihara initially felt an indescribable embarrassment and shame, but she quickly calmed down, though her pale face was still slightly flushed.

Haihara touched her neck:

"It doesn't seem to be working."

In fact, Haihara also found it strange.

In her opinion, the Magic Armament made by Kougami Kage should indeed be feasible.

But in fact, it had no effect on her at all, and didn't even trigger the response of the embedded Magic Crystal.

However, she wasn't completely clueless.

The Magic Armament made by her childhood friend should be the only one that can truly Magic Armament a woman without Magic Power.

The Magic Power is supplied directly from Magic Crystal.

The problem is that Haihara herself is not an ordinary person.

On the other side, after hearing Haihara's casual remark, Kougami Kage snapped out of his daze.

She stood up, grabbed Haihara's hand in a panic, and tried her best to explain:

"Lily... Lily... Maybe there are some things I haven't adjusted properly, so it didn't work, but I definitely succeeded before, I just don't know what happened this time..."

"I'm... I'm so sorry! Please believe me, I will definitely finish it before your birthday..."

After the failed transformation, Kougami appeared extremely uneasy for a while.

Her once beautiful and striking face turned pale, and her voice trembled, becoming somewhat incoherent.

Haihara was very familiar with Kougami's appearance.

Whenever Kougami thought she had upset him and was about to abandon her, he would show this uneasy and panicked look.

Somewhat helpless, Haihara still stroked Kougami's hand to calm her down a bit.

"I believe in you, but calm down. It's okay even if we don't succeed in the end."

She's no longer a teenager.

She sees Magic girls every day, and has even spanked them. To be honest, she doesn't really want to become a Magic girl anymore.

Perhaps deep down there's still a tiny bit...

But this is not something Kougami has to do.

Kougami Kage didn't owe her anything; on the contrary, Haihara didn't understand why the other party was going to such lengths for her.

After a while of reassurance, Kougami raised his head, his eyes still full of unease.

"But... but, if we don't fulfill that agreement, what about our other agreement? If we can't do that, then we..."

They made a promise when they were little.

Haihara tilted her head in confusion.

"Another?"

"It's about... getting married. We agreed that after that, we'd be together... forever..."

Kougami's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, holding Haihara's hand tightly, as if afraid of being abandoned by her.

After fulfilling their promise to turn their childhood friend into a Magic girl, they will stay together forever.

At that time, Lily gave her a ring.

She has worn that ring ever since, and has never taken it off even after it became too small.

She has never forgotten.

She has always been working hard for this.

When she lowered her head uneasily and looked at Haihara, the woman only showed a puzzled expression.

"Marriage? What do you mean?"

She seemed completely confused about what Kougami was talking about.

Soon, Haihara felt that the hand Kougami Kage was holding hers suddenly stiffen.

This woman, who was always carefree and decadent, showed a blank expression, which then slowly turned gloomy.

"... Eh?"

Kougami Kage couldn't understand Haihara's reaction.

In Kougami Kage's touch, Lily's hand was as cold as ever, giving off a sense of distant detachment, as if it were something she could only look at but never reach.

So... she didn't keep their promise.

Lily is already disappointed in her...

After so many years apart, she buried herself in research in Europe, only to achieve nothing. She was even unaware that her lover's parents had long since passed away, and never cared about them. There's no way anyone would marry someone like her, right?

That's true...

Kougami Kage subconsciously tightened his grip on Haihara's hand, but still didn't dare to use too much force, worried that it would make the woman in front of him feel uncomfortable.

If the previous situation only made Kougami Kage feel panicked, then Haihara's words now made Kougami Kage's heart instantly feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

She tried her best to calm herself down.

"No... no, give me a little more time, forgive me... Lily, it's just a little problem, I'll be right there..."

However, as she spoke, Kougami Kage felt her rationality begin to crumble, her nose became sore, and she sobbed. She had been staring at the person she liked, but she began to feel an indescribable fear.

Perhaps she lost her composure for a moment, or perhaps she was too frightened to do anything, she gently knelt before the other person, frantically grasped Haihara's hand, and said in a trembling voice—

"Forgive me... I'll do anything, please don't abandon me... please don't abandon me..."

This brilliant female scientist has now shed all her calm facade, revealing her vulnerable inner self.

Haihara had no idea what she had done, but her childhood friend seemed to have collapsed.
