"The Magical Girls definitely wouldn't have imagined this..."
As he discreetly put away the magic wand, Bai Yu thought to himself, That facility from before was just a decoy. This is the Monster Organization's true headquarters!
"Master... this room is so pretty!"
Meanwhile, Meng Yue blinked her eyes and excitedly looked around Bai Yu's room! The expression on her face made her seem like a child seeing something new for the first time...
"Hehe~~ Everything Master has is so pretty~~~ Ehehehe~~~"
She did not get up either. She simply sat there, swinging her smooth bare thighs as she stared at each piece of crystal furniture, occasionally letting out a silly laugh.
It felt like this girl had not merely lost her memories... She seemed to have gotten dumber too! And she still had not gotten up. Surely she had not forgotten how to walk, had she?
Looking at Meng Yue on the floor, her eyes clear and innocent, Bai Yu frowned... Calling this amnesia would not be accurate. It was more like intellectual regression. But if she had really become stupid, how was he supposed to train her to fight the Magical Girls?
But at that moment... something Bai Yu had not expected happened! Meng Yue had been happily looking around the room, but when her gaze landed on a certain object, her entire body froze!
It was a photograph! A large photograph featuring three Magical Girls! The silver-haired girl standing in the middle, dressed in a gold-and-white skirt with a confident smile, looked extremely familiar to Meng Yue!
This person... wasn't that herself? But wasn't she Master's Slave Soldier? Wasn't she supposed to help Master eliminate those hateful Magical Girls...
No, no! She was not some Slave Soldier! She remembered everything! She was a Magical Girl! Magical Girl Meng Yue!
Volume One: Chapter Three — Failed Intellectual Regression
At that instant, Meng Yue's mind had never been clearer! Instinctively, she wanted to use magic to kill the boy before her. He looked refined and handsome, but he was truly ruthless when he acted! He had actually wanted to turn her into some... Slave Soldier belonging to him?
He had even claimed she was created by him... He wanted her to obey every command of his. How shameless! If I hadn't been careful, I really would have become like that by now!
Though Meng Yue had claimed to look down on Bai Yu, she had actually remained cautious. After all, he was the Monster Leader. There was nothing wrong with being careful... So, the moment Bai Yu attacked, Meng Yue had gathered all her magic power to defend her body!
Under the full-force defense of the strongest Magical Girl, she had actually managed to withstand most of the effects of that Forbidden Magic. Though the spell had still affected Meng Yue to some extent—she was still missing many memories, for example—at least she remembered that she was a Magical Girl!
But just as she was about to make her move, Meng Yue realized that her magic wand was no longer in her hand! Without it, her combat power would be reduced by at least two-thirds! Under those circumstances... could she really defeat this Monster Leader?
At that thought, Meng Yue immediately suppressed her urge to launch a sneak attack. She no longer dared underestimate this Monster Leader in the slightest. He felt weak... but his magic was abnormally powerful! If it had been any other Magical Girl who took that hit instead of her, she probably would have truly become a Slave Soldier at his mercy!
What should she do? If he discovered that she had actually regained consciousness, and he hit her with that again... she would really become a Slave Soldier!
In that flash of thought, Meng Yue quickly came up with a plan! For now, she could only pretend that she had not regained her senses and stabilize this Monster Leader first. Fortunately, she still remembered what had just happened... She remembered what sort of state she had been turned into.
Wasn't it just having an empty mind... blindly obeying the Monster Leader? And her intelligence seemed to have been affected too. She had even forgotten how to walk just now! The child next door to her home could walk before turning one, yet he had turned her into something worse than a baby!
Ugh... Just thinking about it made her face burn! Hateful Monster Leader, I will never forgive you! But... if I wanted to defeat him in the future, I first had to cast aside this shame!
With that in mind, Meng Yue began clearing away all distracting thoughts until her mind became blank. That would make her gaze look much more innocent. Then she imitated the way she had spoken to the Monster Leader earlier... No, to Master.
"Hehe~~~ Master, the horns on your head are so pretty!"
Pointing at the two ram horns on Bai Yu's head, Meng Yue poked her lips with one finger and put on an ignorant expression. With a silly smile, she asked, "They look really crunchy... Can I eat them?"
"I..."
Hearing Meng Yue's words, Bai Yu showed a speechless expression. He rubbed his forehead and asked helplessly, "Just in case, let me ask... Do you still remember how to walk?"
Huh?
Bai Yu's question surprised Meng Yue. She silently thought, Wasn't it you bastard who took away my ability to walk? Wasn't making me stupid your goal? Why are you acting innocent—
No... not necessarily!
But then, Meng Yue suddenly considered another possibility. She remembered Bai Yu saying that he wanted to train her into the strongest monster executive! Forgetting her memories was one thing, but if she had lost her intelligence, her learning ability would definitely plummet. How could he then train her into some strongest executive?
That meant this situation was not what he had expected. Maybe there had been something wrong with that magic! That was why she had not only lost her memories, but also her intelligence!
At that thought, Meng Yue revealed a sly smile inwardly! Hateful Monster Leader... just watch how I mess with you!
"Walking?"
Tilting her head, Meng Yue asked stupidly, "What's that? I don't know~?"
"This is bad..."
Collapsing onto the sofa, Bai Yu covered his face with one hand. "This is completely different from what I expected..."
He had originally thought Meng Yue would become the sort who, though she had lost her memories and forgotten her identity, would retain her intelligence and learning ability... That way, training her into a monster executive would be relatively easy. But now, Meng Yue looked like she had completely become an idiot!
Sure enough, this was not what he had wanted!
Seeing Bai Yu's speechless expression, Meng Yue felt inexplicably delighted! Since the family next door had children, she knew very well how troublesome it was to take care of one!
You brought this on yourself! I'll pretend not to understand anything and annoy you to death! You still want to train me into some monster executive and make me fight my companions?
Keep dreaming!
Thinking that, Meng Yue stretched her arms toward Bai Yu and said with a grin, "Master~~~ Hug me~~~"
Bai Yu looked down. Meng Yue was reaching for him, her little face flushed red. Normally, he should have found it thrilling when a beautiful girl made such a gesture toward him, but for some reason... he had a bad feeling about it.
"Master..."
When Bai Yu did not come over for a long time, Meng Yue immediately sniffled... Her face took on a sorrowful expression, and a misty layer of tears filled her eyes, as though she were about to cry.
She was crying already? Had she really become like a child, unable to control her emotions?
Seeing Meng Yue like this, Bai Yu thought for a moment before walking over and scooping up her delicate body. Hugging her was simple enough. He could satisfy her so casually—
"Hehe! Horsey ride! Horsey ride!"
Yet before Bai Yu could react, Meng Yue climbed onto his shoulders. The next instant, Bai Yu felt tremendous pressure crush down on his vulnerable neck! Meng Yue had actually straddled the back of his neck and grabbed the two horns on his head, tugging them hard!
You mother—
Caught completely off guard, Bai Yu nearly suffocated under the pressure! Meng Yue was not particularly heavy, but even forty or fifty kilograms suddenly pressing down on his neck nearly sent Bai Yu crashing to the floor! He was a mage, not a warrior. How was he supposed to endure this suffering?!
"Stop shaking, stop shaking!!"
Meng Yue was also shaking Bai Yu's horns without mercy, making his brain feel like it was about to boil! He was forced to use Gravity Magic, making Meng Yue as light as a feather before his neck was finally freed!
Volume One: Chapter Four — Like an Investigator Infiltrating an Organization
"Bang!"
Bai Yu mercilessly tossed Meng Yue onto the sofa. She sprawled against it, wearing an innocent expression as though she had no idea why she had suddenly been thrown down.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu stared at Meng Yue on the sofa with an extremely complicated expression.
The ideal form Bai Yu had wanted Meng Yue to take was that of a doll-like slave maid who would obey only orders, possess no unnecessary emotions, and learn quickly! It would have been even better if he could directly pour whatever he wanted to teach into her mind like uploading data. That way, he could quickly train Meng Yue into a monster executive and have her take revenge on the Magical Girls!
But looking at Meng Yue now... he had no idea how long it would take to train her into a monster executive. At that thought, Bai Yu could not help feeling a trace of anger!
And he had not even ridden her yet, but she had ridden him first... What kind of absurdity was that?!
"Who allowed you to ride me without permission?"
His face dark, Bai Yu said in a low voice, "You are merely a lowly Slave Soldier. Who gave you permission to ride my body without my consent?"
"Waaah!"
Yet upon seeing Bai Yu's angry expression, Meng Yue blinked... and then burst into tears!
"S-Sorry! I just couldn't help wanting to get closer to Master!"
Wiping her tears with both hands, Meng Yue trembled as she sobbed, "But I didn't know... Master's neck was actually so fragile! Wuwuwu, I'm really sorry!"
A dignified Monster Leader, yet who knew your neck could not even bear my weight! I'm already very light...
Meng Yue thought this while fake crying and wiping away tears. But when she thought of how most of the reason she was so light was that she never had enough to eat and lived such a poor life every day, her nose stung and she actually began crying for real!
She had truly poured real emotions into her performance...
"You're the one crying now..."
Bai Yu frowned. Watching such a beautiful girl cry in front of him, he had initially felt somewhat softhearted... But then he remembered that she was the Magical Girl who had ruined his plans time and time again!
Then it was fine! In fact, enjoying the feeling of bullying a Magical Girl was not bad at all!
Thinking that, Bai Yu reached out and pinched Meng Yue's cheeks. Then he pulled hard, making Meng Yue cry even louder!
"Waaahhh!! Master, that hurts!!"
But at that moment, Bai Yu suddenly felt a burning pain in his hand! He hurriedly pulled it back. He had not expected Meng Yue's magic power to leak out just because she cried!
Every Magical Girl's magic power had different properties. Meng Yue's magic property was Purification, and the greatest characteristic of Purification magic was its exceptional effectiveness against monsters and Magical Beasts! Even though only a little magic power had leaked from her body's surface, Bai Yu's hand hurt as though it had touched a branding iron!
This girl... Even after suffering intellectual regression, she was still so troublesome!
Looking at Meng Yue, who was still crying on the sofa, Bai Yu began thinking. Getting angry was useless now. He might as well consider what to do from here on...
"Beep, beep, beep..."
But at that moment, Bai Yu reached out and took out his ringing phone. After pressing the answer button, an urgent voice immediately came from the other side—
"Leader, are you all right? Where are you now?!"
"I'm fine."
Bai Yu replied softly, "I've already returned to headquarters. Don't worry."
"That's wonderful! But could we trouble you to show yourself?"
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Because... someone has been spreading rumors. A lot of people are saying that you were eliminated by Magical Girl Meng Yue! The entire organization is in chaos now..."
"Understood. I'll be there right away."
Bai Yu frowned and hung up. He then looked at Meng Yue on the sofa, who had stopped crying at some point and was curiously staring at him... Then he said, "I have something to do, so I'm going out for a while. Stay in the room and don't run around."
"Got it, Master!"
Meng Yue immediately answered obediently and watched Bai Yu leave the room with expectant eyes. Once she felt Bai Yu's presence disappear... she finally stretched out her limbs and lazily stretched on the sofa, revealing a radiant smile!
"You're the lowly Slave Soldier! Hateful Monster Leader, did you enjoy your horsey ride?"
Jumping down from the sofa, Meng Yue leisurely walked around the room barefoot. When she reached the large photograph hanging on the wall, Meng Yue showed a disgusted expression!
"That dead pervert actually hung my photograph in his room!"
Pouting, Meng Yue muttered, "What does a Monster Leader want with a Magical Girl's picture hanging in his room? Is he using it as a target for throwing darts?"
But thinking about it, if not for that photograph, she probably would have needed quite a while longer before regaining her senses...
"Crimson Blade, Xinghua... I won't be able to return for a while."
Looking at the other two Magical Girls in the photograph, Meng Yue said helplessly, "For now, Starry Sky City's safety will have to depend on you two. Though neither of you has ever beaten me when you teamed up... you still need to do your best!"
"And since I'm already... here!"
Looking around the room, Meng Yue said excitedly, "Then before I leave, I at least have to find out the Monster Organization's greatest secret!"
The Monster Organization's greatest secret was the location where the Dark-Energy Converter was hidden! The Dark-Energy Converter was a machine capable of converting humanity's negative emotions into a special energy that could then be used! Not only could this machine mass-produce monster soldiers, it could also revive any monster other than the Monster Leader!
Though reviving a monster executive required quite a lot of time, that also meant that unless the machine was destroyed, the Monster Organization could never be completely eliminated!
"Anyway, that guy took my magic wand, so I can't leave even if I want to... I might as well stay here and look for that machine!"
Rubbing her chin, Meng Yue muttered to herself, "I'll treat it as infiltrating the Monster Organization. I'm like an ace investigator infiltrating an enemy organization. It actually feels pretty cool!"
At that thought, Meng Yue even felt inexplicably proud! She raised her little head and paced around the room barefoot, intending to look for clues about the machine in the Monster Leader's room! Anyway, when the Monster Leader returned, she could just say that she had been crawling around on the floor and made a mess of the room!
After all, she was a child who understood nothing! Children did not understand... They just rummaged around for fun!
But after circling the room several times, Meng Yue only found a small iron box on the coffee table.
Volume One: Chapter Five — Worthy of the Leader!
After leaving the room, Bai Yu arrived at a spacious plaza. A large number of monster soldiers had been waiting there for a long time, and the dense crowd of monsters immediately stirred when Bai Yu appeared...
"It's the Leader!"
"So the Leader really isn't dead..."
"That's great!"
When Bai Yu appeared, a Black Bear Monster wearing heavy armor immediately ran toward him and said joyfully, "Leader! It's wonderful that you're alive!"
Watching the burly Black Bear Executive stumble toward him, Bai Yu reached out and patted its side. "Old Black, where did you hear that I was killed by a Magical Girl?"
"Ah... well..."
Hearing that, the Black Bear Executive scratched its furry head and said awkwardly, "I don't know either. I suddenly heard a lot of soldiers saying it. The moment I heard the news, I panicked... and those two Magical Girls took the chance to beat me up!"
Looking closely, the Black Bear Executive's face was covered in bruises, and its armor had suffered plenty of damage. It was clear that it had expended a great deal of effort to stop Crimson Blade and Xinghua...
