The Mindless Magical Girl? I Picked Her Up and Remade Her!

Compared to the Black Bear Executive, the other two executives in charge of fighting Meng Yue looked much cleaner. Bai Yu walked straight up to them and asked bluntly, "You two must be disappointed to see that I'm not dead, huh?"

"What are you saying, Leader?"

Hearing that, one of the executives with a pig's head immediately forced a smile. "How could I possibly want the Leader dead? It's just that that Magical Girl was far too strong. The two of us really couldn't stop her..."

"So you deliberately let her through?"

Raising an eyebrow, Bai Yu said, "It's not like you two only started disapproving of me and my policies yesterday. You wanted to use the Magical Girl to cause me trouble this time. Did you think I wouldn't know?"

"Uh..."

The Pighead Monster instinctively took a step back. It hadn't expected Bai Yu to be so direct, so it subconsciously looked toward the Horsehead Monster executive beside it. The Horsehead executive said in a low voice, "Leader, we truly didn't do that."

"If you're dissatisfied with me, you can leave the organization and become a wild monster. But then you'll never be able to revive again!"

Staring into the Horsehead Monster's eyes, Bai Yu warned in a deep voice, "Think carefully... If we weren't so short on manpower right now, do you think you'd still be standing here?"

"Short on manpower... wasn't that caused by the Magical Girl?"

The Horsehead Monster ultimately didn't dare fall out with Bai Yu, so it directly changed the subject. "Leader, rather than discussing such baseless matters here, shouldn't we be practical and discuss how to deal with that terrifying Magical Girl..."

"Yeah, yeah!"

The Pighead Monster immediately chimed in. "That Magical Girl named Meng Yue has killed so many of our monster executives! Even the previous Monster Leader died at her hands! The most urgent matter is finding a way to deal with her, otherwise our Monster Organization will one day..."

"You needn't worry about that."

However, Bai Yu said in an utterly calm tone, "That Magical Girl has already been captured by me."

The moment those words fell, the entire plaza went silent. The Black Bear Executive, the Pighead executive, and the Horsehead executive all gaped, looking as though they couldn't believe what they had just heard...

"Le... Leader?"

Even the Black Bear Monster, who was loyal to Bai Yu, found it hard to believe. It stammered, "You said you... captured Meng Yue?"

"Leader, I know you're angry with me. But there's no need to boast just to win an argument—holy shit!!!"

The Horsehead Monster had been looking at Bai Yu with pity. Having personally experienced that Magical Girl's terror, it believed Bai Yu had to be talking nonsense! Yet when Bai Yu took out Meng Yue's magic wand, it was as though someone had grabbed it by the throat... Its mouth hung open, but it couldn't utter a word!

"That's... Meng Yue's magic wand?"

Looking at the object in Bai Yu's hand, the Pighead Monster said in astonishment, "Without that wand, Meng Yue can't transform into a Magical Girl! Such an important item actually fell into the Leader's hands. Could Meng Yue truly have been..."

"Leader, I always knew you could do it!"

"As expected of the Leader!"

"Long live the Leader!"

The other monster soldiers erupted into cheers like crashing waves. Forget capturing her... even seizing the strongest Magical Girl's magic wand was already an achievement that surpassed the previous Monster Leader!

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

The Horsehead executive was still immersed in shock. It had always believed that this new Leader who had suddenly appeared was far weaker than the previous one and utterly incapable of leading the Monster Organization to glory!

But in truth, the previous Monster Leader had been farmed like a minor monster by Meng Yue, while the current Leader, Bai Yu, had directly captured Meng Yue... So who exactly was inferior to whom?

"May I ask, Leader, how do you intend to deal with her?"

Rubbing its hands together, the Black Bear Monster stepped forward and asked excitedly, "She killed quite a few of our brothers! Should I make a cross, hang her from it, then record a video and release it so she'll be utterly humiliated?"

"No, no. That would be letting her off too easily."

However, Bai Yu said, "I'm going to train her into a monster executive, then have her fight and kill the Magical Girls who used to be her companions!"

"As expected of the Leader!"

Hearing that, the Black Bear Executive immediately said with a worshipful expression, "Not only can the Leader capture Magical Girls, he can even turn them into monster executives for the organization's use!"

He had not only captured the strongest Magical Girl, but could also turn her into a monster executive... then make her wipe out Magical Girls?

The Pighead Monster and Horsehead Monster exchanged glances, both speechless... Compared to Bai Yu's current achievement, no matter how dissatisfied they had been with his usual actions, they had to admit that Bai Yu was the one most likely to lead the Monster Organization to glory!

"Leader, I was wrong before... If you spare my life, I will brave fire and water for you from now on!"

The Horsehead Monster immediately dropped to one knee and swore loyalty to Bai Yu! The Pighead Monster likewise bent down and knelt, shouting, "Me too!"

"Very good."

Looking at the two monster executives kneeling on the ground, Bai Yu immediately said, "Then without further delay, I'll give you two an order."

The Brain Is Trembling~~~

After assigning tasks to the two monster executives, Bai Yu went up to the second floor and entered a special study.

Only the Monster Leader was permitted to enter this study. The magic books inside could not be taken out of the room, and the Forbidden Magic exclusive to the Monster Leader was hidden within this study.

"One look and you can tell the previous Leader didn't like reading. If he'd spent even a little time in the study and learned just one Forbidden Magic, Meng Yue wouldn't have farmed him like a minor monster!"

Complaining as he spoke, Bai Yu pulled a magic book from the shelf. The Forbidden Magic he had just used was learned from this book. He had no idea which generation of Monster Leader had left it behind...

Bai Yu flipped farther back through the magic book. Pages that had previously been blank now filled with large amounts of text. According to the book, only after the reader learned the first spell recorded within it and cast that spell upon a Magical Girl... would the contents in the back of the magic book appear.

[Feels good, doesn't it?]

Those were the first words that appeared on the page. Bai Yu took a deep breath. He wanted to say something, but considering that this spell really had saved his life, he held back his complaints and kept reading.

[Don't you find it amusing to turn a once valiant Magical Girl into something even more ignorant than an infant?]

More words continued to emerge on the page, as though it knew what Bai Yu was thinking: [Maybe taking care of a mindless Magical Girl is a little troublesome, but she's a beautiful girl! A beautiful girl with low intelligence whom you can color however you please—don't you think that alone is interesting?]

The corner of Bai Yu's mouth twitched. He could almost sense the author's state of mind while writing those words, so he continued reading...

[Turning a Magical Girl into an ignorant being and raising her anew can cultivate her dependence on you, making her feel from the bottom of her heart that you are the sole value of her existence! Such feelings, accumulated over time... are nothing ordinary hypnosis can compare to!]

[And don't you think the process of dyeing an innocent, ignorant beautiful girl in evil colors... has immense enjoyment value? Whatever you fool her into believing, she'll believe! She'll do evil things with an innocent expression! Even her shattered common sense will have to be reshaped by you!]

[All the play you've ever fantasized about can be used on her! She'll believe every word you say without question! This is the joy of Child Regression! Can you feel it?]

[My brain... is tremblinggg!!!]

[Compared to all that, all you need to do is take care of her food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Besides, Magical Girls are soft and fragrant, and they feel wonderful to hold while you care for them! The magic power in their bodies can automatically remove impurities too... Is there any better target for Child Regression?]

"This is bad..."

After reading those words, Bai Yu touched the corner of his upturned mouth and murmured softly, "It seems I've been somewhat persuaded by this guy..."

The main things that swayed him were the lines, [do evil things with an innocent expression] and [all the play you've ever fantasized about can be used on her]. At first, Bai Yu had only been irritated that Meng Yue could not become a heartless machine that obeyed him because he was in a hurry to train her into a monster executive.

Now that he thought about it... he had been too shallow!

He couldn't put the cart before the horse. The reason Bai Yu had accepted becoming the Monster Leader was, at its core, to experience pleasure. In other words, enjoying the process of raising Meng Yue was far more important than the result!

[I hope you can appreciate the wonder of this spell. After you have cared for her for two months, I will teach you a new spell... Then you can go corrupt a new Magical Girl!]

After those words appeared, the magic book fell silent. Bai Yu flipped through several more pages, but every page afterward was blank, exactly as they had been before he came to the study.

"This senior is quite the kindred spirit!"

With that, Bai Yu put the magic book back on the shelf, then tried taking down several other books. Those books either contained nothing but blank pages or ordinary colored books unrelated to magic. So far, only that one magic book had responded to Bai Yu.

"I have no idea how he knew I used this spell on a Magical Girl or whether I was taking care of Meng Yue. Could this book actually be alive?"

But after that, Bai Yu's mindset had changed! He now regarded raising a beautiful girl through Child Regression from scratch as something to enjoy with his whole heart. Naturally, the way he would treat Meng Yue from now on would change as well!

Unfortunately, Meng Yue still had no idea that suffering was about to befall her. After searching Bai Yu's room several times without finding anything useful, she could only turn her attention to the iron box on the coffee table.

"If it were truly confidential, there's no way it would be left sitting openly on the coffee table..."

Staring at the seemingly ordinary iron box, Meng Yue finally reached for it. She had found nothing elsewhere in the room, so she had no choice but to inspect this box. Just in case...

The iron box was not even locked. Meng Yue easily opened the lid. What came into view was... a thick stack of envelopes?

"Letters?"

Picking up an envelope, Meng Yue muttered curiously, "Are these letters sent to him by the monster executives? No... they communicate using electronic devices. They have no need to write letters at all!"

Then what were they? Looking closely, the envelope had already been opened. So even if she secretly took a look... the Monster Leader wouldn't notice, right?

Thinking that, Meng Yue carefully pulled out the letter. She silently reminded herself that the Monster Leader was not human... so this didn't count as opening someone else's mail without permission. Mere monsters had no right to privacy in her eyes!

Let me see what filthy things your letters contain. They might even hold evidence of the Monster Organization's crimes!

Yet when Meng Yue eagerly looked at the letter paper, she froze completely...

[Leader Brother, thank you!]

The handwriting was exceptionally neat. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like anything filthy. Meng Yue stared in disbelief and continued reading...

[I transferred schools and have now begun a brand-new life! Thanks to you helping me punish him, I was finally able to let go of my past of being bullied... Thank you!]

Meng Yue silently put down the letter, then pulled out a second one. The contents were much the same...

[Leader Brother, thank you! I've now been adopted by a new family, and my new father and mother both cherish me! They'll never be like my previous parents... tormenting me in every way just because I wasn't a boy.]

[Leader... I don't know how to contact you, so I could only leave this letter where I met you last time. I only want to tell you that I'm very happy now. Thank you so much for helping me!]

The iron box was filled with letters like these.

From Now On, You're My Pet Cat

What... was going on with this guy?

Looking at the letters overflowing with gratitude between every line, Meng Yue could not understand... According to her Contract Spirit, the Monster Leader surely had ulterior motives for doing good deeds. Behind every apparent act of kindness had to lurk some sinister scheme!

But if it was a scheme, did Bai Yu need to carefully store all these letters thanking him inside an iron box? Shouldn't he have casually thrown them away, then sneered, "Foolish humans," to fit the identity of a Monster Leader?

Holding the letters, Meng Yue stood there in a daze, unable to understand Bai Yu's way of thinking. Yet that moment of distraction cost her quite a bit of time. It was only when she heard the doorknob turn that she snapped back to reality!

Oh no! He's back!!

Realizing Bai Yu had returned, Meng Yue could not help growing anxious! Her current persona was an idiot who couldn't even walk! How could an idiot like that know how to open an iron box and take apart letters? If that guy discovered she had not actually become stupid...

Thinking that, Meng Yue gritted her teeth! She flung the iron box from the coffee table straight onto the floor. A large number of letters scattered everywhere, and she randomly picked up one sheet of letter paper, clamped it between her teeth, and immediately put on the expression of a clueless little brat!

Thus, when Bai Yu returned to the room, he saw letters scattered all over the floor. Meng Yue was sitting there blankly with a sheet of letter paper in her mouth. The moment she saw Bai Yu, she smiled and called out, "Hehe~~~ Master! Welcome back~~~"

Meng Yue felt utterly innocent. After all, she was currently a little idiot! Since she was an idiot, what was wrong with knocking over Bai Yu's letters? Even if she tore his entire room apart, so what? She didn't understand anything, so he couldn't possibly blame her for—

"You're really naughty..."

Yet Meng Yue never expected Bai Yu to be so unreasonable. He said, "As a Slave Soldier, you actually dared rummage through your master's belongings without permission!"

Huh? You can blame me for that too? Do you have any sense of reason at all?!

Seeing Bai Yu act like that, Meng Yue opened her mouth, wanting to argue. But when the words reached her lips, she remembered that her persona was supposedly a Slave Soldier who obeyed every command. Arguing with her master did not seem to fit the role...

"Master~~~ This little slave doesn't know anything~~~"

Meng Yue immediately chose to play dumb. She thought that after acting so foolishly, Bai Yu would be too embarrassed to do anything to her. After all, he was the one who had turned her so stupid—

"Click."

However, before Meng Yue could finish that thought, she felt something being placed around her neck. She instinctively glanced at a full-length mirror in the distance and saw Bai Yu fastening a black collar around her neck.

"As punishment, from now on, you're my pet cat."

Then Bai Yu placed a snow-white cat-ear headband on her head. Meng Yue instantly looked like a catgirl. Before transforming, she had already given off a lazy sort of feeling.

Her long pale legs were bare, she wore an oversized white T-shirt, and even her hair had not been properly arranged. She looked as though she had been abruptly dragged out of bed to become a Magical Girl! That lazy appearance, paired with cat ears and a collar, made her look far too much like a cat lying on the floor with nothing to do!

A pet cat? This guy not only wanted me to be a Slave Soldier, he also wanted me to be his pet cat! Damn Monster Leader—I'll kill you someday!

Thinking that, Meng Yue wanted to play dumb again! She wanted to directly ask Bai Yu what a pet cat was. If she did not understand, then she could not act the part, right? Yet before she could speak, the shameless Monster Leader actually turned on the television. A documentary about house cats was playing on it!

"Watch carefully. Just like them, you're now a pet cat!"

Bai Yu said this while stroking Meng Yue's head. Meng Yue could feel the hand touching her head trembling. Then she looked at Bai Yu's face... This guy's expression was so excited!

Perverted bastard! Does he really want to raise me like a cat? How long is he planning to humiliate me? Don't think I have no dignity at all—

"First, learn to meow. If you do it well, I'll feed you this."

However, Bai Yu spoke as he somehow produced a golden fried dried fish and dangled it before Meng Yue's eyes.

That was... meat!

Looking at the dried fish in Bai Yu's hand, Meng Yue's eyes lit up at once! The scent of fried food drifted into her nose, making her shoulders tremble uncontrollably...

It had been so long... How long had it been since she had eaten meat, especially fried meat...? Damn Monster Leader! He was actually using something like this to tempt her!!

Licking her lips, Meng Yue's eyes swayed along with Bai Yu's dried fish. Forget dried fish... it had been a long time since she had eaten a proper meal! After all, Magical Girls could use magic power as bodily energy, so they would not die even if they neither ate nor drank.

"If there's no need to eat or drink, then the money can be saved and spent on more useful things!"
