"Hmph, shouldn't you have known I was a monster long ago?"

Hearing that, Meng Yue seemed quite pleased. Humming a little tune, she grabbed Xu Ranran by the collar, walked to the empty window frame, and smiled. "Bye-bye!"

With that, Meng Yue hurled Xu Ranran from the third floor. As a scream abruptly cut off and a heavy object hit the ground, Meng Yue leisurely glanced at Tang Si, who was bleeding on the floor, then skipped away.

"Aren't you going to finish them off?"

The moment she stepped out of the classroom, Meng Yue saw her master. Smiling, she said, "No need~~~ I had enough fun this time! Besides, if they aren't dead, won't there be a next time?"

"I can tell..."

After glancing at the changes in Meng Yue's body, Bai Yu nodded in agreement. It seemed this trip had made Meng Yue fall even deeper. It wasn't just her magic power that had mutated... even her body had changed!

Moreover, Meng Yue seemed innately gifted at controlling her body and magic power. Bai Yu watched her turn her left hand into a human hand and her right into a cat paw... then switch them around and play with them. Normally, the power of Magical Beasts should have been extremely difficult for humans to control.

"What a pity... It feels like I'm still one step short."

Frowning, Meng Yue muttered softly, "It just feels like something's missing. Is there still some power that hasn't awakened?"

If there had been a percentage to calculate it, Meng Yue's corruption level should have been at ninety percent by now. Her Magic Core had basically been polluted into a Beast Core, with only a tiny patch of pure white remaining!

And once Meng Yue's Magic Core completely became a Beast Core, she would be able to use Beastification like every other monster... the ability to fully transform into a Magical Beast!

"So, you've finished what you wanted to do now, right?"

"Mm!"

Still unaware of anything, Meng Yue nodded happily at those words!

"Did you have fun?"

"Mm-hm!"

"Very good!"

Placing a hand on Meng Yue's shoulder, Bai Yu smiled. "Then it's time to settle the matter of you mobilizing troops without informing me."

"Huh???"

Meng Yue, who had still been enjoying herself moments ago, felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. Even her cat ears drooped! She had been having too much fun earlier and had completely forgotten about this!!

"Master, I was wrong, meow—"

Before Meng Yue could finish, Bai Yu teleported her back to the base. The aftermath was left to the Black Bear Executive's adjutant... namely, the Gray Wolf Executive it had loaned out.

"Leader, you're actually so powerful!"

After directing its subordinates to fulfill Meng Yue's demands, the Gray Wolf Executive stared worshipfully in the direction Bai Yu had vanished and muttered, "In such a short time, you turned a Magical Girl into something so thoroughly corrupted!"

When it had rushed over earlier, it had seen the cat paws and cat ears on Meng Yue's body. Those were not simulated by a battle suit—they were genuine Cat Monster organs growing from her body!

Thinking of how the strongest Magical Girl, who had killed it countless times before, had now become its colleague and had even commanded it to smash, loot, and plunder everywhere that morning... the Gray Wolf Executive found it absurd, but was left with nothing but endless reverence for Bai Yu!

"Wahh~~ meow~~~"

At that moment, in a strange room, Meng Yue's wrists were locked by a wooden pillory above her head, forcing her to raise both arms and expose her smooth, pale underarms. Countless feathers had already visited those spots...

Meng Yue was now drenched in sweat, and faint white vapor could even be seen rising from her body... Seeing how sticky and disheveled she looked, it was not hard to imagine just how intense things had been earlier.

Come to think of it, Meng Yue's expression had already fallen apart once fifteen minutes ago. Now, she was once again grinning with her little tongue hanging out, letting a trail of drool run from the corner of her mouth. This time, however, she had not completely broken down. She seemed to have begun adapting to this level of assault...

"As a monster executive, mobilizing troops without notifying me is normally grounds for demotion to an ordinary grunt..."

Looking at Meng Yue, who had once again become dazed and silly, Bai Yu pinched her chin and said, "But considering you're my exclusive Slave Soldier, and this operation did not cause overly serious consequences... you only need to stay in my interrogation room for three hours, and I'll let it go!"

"Then... how... how many hours has it been, meow?"

"Only one hour has passed."

Bai Yu answered mercilessly, "I didn't expect your tolerance in this area to be so poor. You were already done after only one hour... At this rate, you can only be a useless cannon-fodder minnow~~"

"Who's a minnow... Have you ever seen... cannon-fodder minnows this strong?"

"Hm? You still have the strength to talk back?"

Hearing that, Bai Yu immediately pressed the remote in his hand. The next second, a pair of mechanical hands grabbed Meng Yue's feet, and her ankles were locked in wooden restraints as well.

Meng Yue was thus forced to expose her smooth, tender soles as two mechanical hands, each holding a White Feather, slowly approached the bottoms of her feet...

"I was wrong, meow!"

Seeing this, Meng Yue nearly had her fur stand on end in fright! How could she not know what her master intended to do... If he tickled not only her underarms but also her feet, she would break down again like before!

"Master is right! I'm a useless minnow! A worthless cannon-fodder minnow!"

As the feather tips drew closer and closer to the skin of her soles, Meng Yue hurriedly threw herself into begging for mercy! Unfortunately, Bai Yu only watched her with a delighted expression, completely unmoved...

Oh right! This dead pervert of a master only wanted to bully me! The excuse was just incidental. Even if I hadn't said that, he definitely would have gone after my feet later anyway!

Damn it—

Meng Yue could only watch helplessly as the feathers approached her soles. Then, she began laughing uncontrollably!

"HAHAHA—No—You can't do both at once—HAHAHA, I'll die, meow!!!"

Meng Yue laughed until tears streamed down her face. She twisted her waist desperately, and her feet instinctively tried to break free, but she could not activate her magic power in this interrogation room. And though the wooden restraints looked small, they were incredibly sturdy... Even with her cat-transformed physical strength, she could not escape!

After struggling desperately for a long while, the wooden restraints remained motionless like vise grips... Meng Yue could only grin helplessly as the feathers tickled her from above and below until she trembled wildly!

"HAHAHA—Enough!! Master... You don't want your pet cat to break, do you? Hehehe~~~ If you don't stop, your cat will completely turn into an idiot, hahaha—"

Before long, Meng Yue had been tickled into babbling nonsense! Her toes constantly trembled and curled. She was already unable to take mere feathers... not to mention the black tongue that would later be simulated from special slime.

"HAHAHA—Master~~~ Let's change the punishment~~~ Please~~~ I'll do anything you want~~~"

While being forced to laugh, Meng Yue tried her best to give her voice a hint of seduction... She was wrong! This time, she had truly been wrong!

She had thought Bai Yu's so-called punishment would at most involve making her wear some embarrassing clothes or perform some embarrassing poses... She was already used to all of that! But she had never expected that, the instant she returned, Bai Yu would lock her in this so-called interrogation room!

Since when had there been a room like this on the thirtieth floor? She had never known about it before!!

"Anything I want?"

Hearing Meng Yue say that, Bai Yu asked with interest, "Are you sure?"

"O-Of course!"

With tears in her eyes, Meng Yue trembled all over as she said, "As long as you spare me... whoever you want to play with... I'll catch them and bring them to you to play with however you like!!"

"That won't be necessary. I have my own arrangements for that."

Pinching Meng Yue's cheek, Bai Yu chuckled. "Fine, this interrogation room has been tested enough anyway. I'm in a good mood~~~ Since this is your first offense, I won't pursue it!"

Tested... What was Master planning to use this interrogation room for? I thought he made this room just to bully me!

"Th-Thank you, Master~~~"

Meng Yue immediately thanked her perverted master. Bai Yu then pressed the remote and withdrew the feathers, though he still kept Meng Yue in that humiliating pose with her arms raised and feet stretched forward...

"By the way, there's something I want to ask you."

Bai Yu suddenly asked with interest, "Why did you suddenly think of taking revenge on those people?"

"Because... memories of those people that I hate deeply suddenly surfaced... I couldn't help going to take revenge on those animals!"

As she said that, Meng Yue suddenly realized she had let something slip! She had nearly been tickled out of her mind earlier, and her head was still unclear... She had actually mentioned the memories surfacing in her mind!

Wouldn't that make Master suspect that she was beginning to recover her memories? Then... what would happen again?

But at that moment, Meng Yue tilted her little head and thought hazily, Come to think of it... what would happen if I revealed to Master that I hadn't actually lost my memories?

However, just as Meng Yue fell into thought, Bai Yu also began thinking...

Her memories are actually beginning to return. I didn't expect it... to happen sooner than anticipated.

Bai Yu had long known that Meng Yue would recover her memories someday. After all, that magic book stated that the effects of Forbidden Magic were not permanent. But... the book had clearly said that, barring accidents, the first Forbidden Magic should last at least several years!

Still... although this was somewhat unexpected, Bai Yu was no longer too worried about Meng Yue recovering her memories. Her body had already fallen to this extent. Even if she recovered her memories now, what could she do?

At this point, Meng Yue's body and mind were entirely filled with the intense happiness of being a monster! Honestly, even if she recovered her memories, she could not go back. If both body and mind had completely become that of a monster, what would it matter if she recalled that she had once been human?

It was like a human suddenly remembering that they had once belonged to another species. Who could accept that? They might even think someone had stuffed fake memories into their head!

That's right... fake memories. I might as well try using that explanation and see what happens.

Thus, Bai Yu immediately began misleading the still-confused Meng Yue. "Didn't I tell you before? You're a Slave Soldier made in imitation of the Magical Girl Meng Yue, so while creating you, we also put some of Meng Yue's memories into your head."

Huh? Was that how it was??

Blinking, Meng Yue listened as her master continued to spout nonsense. "At first, you did have Meng Yue's memories in your head. But the technology for putting memories into someone's head wasn't mature enough, so later your brain developed problems and forgot all the memories belonging to Meng Yue!"

Huh huh huh??? What the hell! So my earlier amnesia was caused by that so-called technical problem? And after seeing that photo, I remembered the memories about Meng Yue that Master had put into my head—

Pah, pah, pah! I got led astray by that dead pervert Master again!!

Shaking her head fiercely, Meng Yue finally came to her senses at the critical moment! How many times had this been? She had been fooled by Master again! She was Meng Yue herself! She... she...

Maybe... being a Slave Soldier created by Master wasn't so bad after all. At least it was better than being a Magical Girl...

Volume One: Chapter Fifty-Five: Fooled Silly Again...

"So that's how it is..."

Meng Yue first muttered in a daze, but then she grinned and giggled. With a captivated tone, she said, "But whether it's true or false... taking revenge on the people from those memories made me very happy~~~"

"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand? Why hide it from me and sneak out?"

Bai Yu said with some displeasure, "You could have just told me properly. It's not like I would stop you over something like that..."

Rather, for Meng Yue's corruption, what did the deaths of a few bullying students and heartless bosses matter? If you'd told me beforehand... I guarantee I could have made you enjoy it even more than you did this morning!

"I read the organization's rules. The organization's targets must be evaluated for a period of time... The waiting made me restless, and I was afraid you might still refuse in the end, so I couldn't hold back this morning!"

Meng Yue blinked and asked in a deeply puzzled tone, "Master, we're technically a Monster Organization, right? Since we're a Monster Organization... then it should be fine to run into the streets, burn, kill, loot, and destroy everything, right? Why do you need to evaluate someone for so long before killing them? If you want to kill someone, shouldn't you just go kill them?"

Hearing Meng Yue's words, Bai Yu could not help feeling an intense sense of absurdity. He had never imagined that one day, he would hear a Magical Girl say something like that, and that he would have to explain to a Magical Girl why the Monster Organization did not go around burning, killing, and looting.

"That would be far too inefficient."

Suppressing that absurd feeling, Bai Yu began explaining to Meng Yue, "You know that the purpose of the Monster Organization is to collect negative energy, right?"

"Mm! It was written in the organization manual. I read it carefully!"

Still, Meng Yue asked in confusion, "But if we want to collect humanity's negative energy, wouldn't it be best to attack the busiest districts?"

"That's wrong."

Bai Yu shook his head. "That's what the previous leader did, but the negative energy it collected in a single attack was less than one-tenth of what I collect in one operation!"

Huh? How could that be?

Memories of the old Monster Organization's atrocities surfaced in Meng Yue's mind... Monsters wreaking destruction everywhere, an entire district ablaze and filled with rolling smoke, countless people calling for Magical Girls.

That kind of scene... actually produced less negative energy than Master gained by tormenting one evil person?

"Let me put it this way: with negative energy... those people who stand high above others and believe they will never be punished no matter what they do are the ones you can squeeze the most out of!"

Bai Yu explained this to the Magical Girl still bound before him. "If you randomly attack a district, how many people like that can you run into? Rather than scatter your attacks over a bunch of uncertain targets, it's better to focus your strength and ruthlessly squeeze negative energy from one confirmed target!"

"I'll use actual data."

Seeing Meng Yue blink as though she still did not understand, Bai Yu continued, "When the previous leader attacked a district once, forty percent of the people scattered and fled, thirty percent lost consciousness during the attack, and the remaining thirty percent... waited where they were to die."

"Huh?"

"Those people probably already had plenty of pressure in their lives. When the Monster Organization attacked and they felt they couldn't escape, they simply stopped wanting to live! You can barely draw any negative energy from people who calmly wait for death!"

Spreading his hands, Bai Yu said helplessly, "Not to mention, not everyone becomes fearful when attacked. For example, once several monster soldiers smashed up a flower shop. But instead of being afraid, the owner became furious and wanted to fight those monster soldiers to the death! That flower shop was a dream he had spent years working toward, yet it was smashed on the second day after opening..."

"But..."

Still restrained, Meng Yue asked in confusion, "Doesn't anger count as a negative emotion?"
