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

Judgment nodded and said softly, "I remember it clearly. He said that skill was called Contract Lock."

"Me?"

But after noticing Judgment's change in self-reference, Papi floated before her, circled her head twice, and only then asked, "Did that guy do anything strange to you?"

"Something strange?"

Hearing that, the executioner girl thought for a moment... then answered, "Other than constantly wanting to smash my helmet for some reason, nothing strange happened."

In Judgment's view, what was so strange about pressing a finger against the center of her forehead? Judging by the result, that action hadn't affected her in any way. Compared to that inexplicable slap that had left her completely disoriented... did this even count as anything?

Of course, that was also because Bai Yu had pressed his finger tightly against Judgment's forehead. Because of that, Judgment hadn't seen the black beam shoot from his fingertip and enter her head...

"But how did you—"

Papi wanted to say more, but Judgment unexpectedly spoke first and interrupted it!

"Lord Papi, no matter what, I want to defeat that freak leader!"

Gritting her silver teeth, the executioner girl said fiercely, "That despicable, shameless bastard! The humiliation he brought me today... I'll never forget it for the rest of my life!"

Huh? What?

Judgment's words and tone made Papi look as though it had seen a ghost! Such emotional words, such a feeling-filled tone... was this really the emotionless artificial human it had created?

Just because she'd suffered a loss at the freak leader's hands, its artificial human had been beaten into developing human emotions? How could that be—

At that moment, Judgment turned her gaze to little Crimson Blade beside her. After gathering her emotions for a while... she walked over, grabbed Crimson Blade's hand, and said in an encouraging tone, "Miss Crimson Blade! Let's work together and defeat that hateful freak leader!"

"Of course! I'll definitely work hard with you, Sister Eileen, and kill him!"

Hearing Judgment, who was usually completely emotionless, say something so inspiring, Crimson Blade was naturally encouraged. Her entire body ached as she lay on the sofa, yet she now wanted nothing more than to immediately get up and start extra training!

However... if Crimson Blade knew what Judgment was thinking right now, who knew what expression she would make.

To defeat him... I have to make use of everything available.

Her gaze swept across Crimson Blade and Papi as the executioner girl thought to herself, Whether it's Lord Papi or Crimson Blade, I'll make proper use of them.

Judgment didn't feel even the slightest guilt toward Papi and Crimson Blade, whom she was about to use. Rather, she had never possessed emotions in the first place. It was only because of Forbidden Magic... that she had gained strange feelings toward Bai Yu alone.

Because she still had no feelings toward other living beings, her thoughts had become extremely twisted! When others said they would stop at nothing for something, it might merely be an exaggeration. But when Judgment said she would stop at nothing to defeat Bai Yu... she truly meant it!

"Lord Papi."

At that moment, Judgment suddenly spoke in an extremely calm voice. "Based on my summary of the battle record just now, the freak leader once used a clone as bait and set a trap to lure me into attacking."

"That's right... I only just learned that he has clones too. This really is one of his despicable strategies."

Papi nodded, but for some reason... it felt an ominous premonition at that moment!

"Despicable or not... the freak leader is indeed an enemy worth taking seriously. Therefore, as his opponents, we must learn his tactics as well."

Judgment said expressionlessly, "Only by learning from him... can we surpass him! Therefore, I believe we can imitate and study the freak leader's various tactics."

"F-for example?"

"For example..."

Looking at Papi with emotionless eyes, Judgment said with unusual calmness, "We can also use Lord Papi as bait and set a trap to lure the freak leader here."

5/5. Five updates complete!

Papi froze in place. If it hadn't steadied itself at the last moment, it would have fallen to the ground from sheer shock!

Do you even know what you're saying?!

Looking at the utterly unfazed Judgment before it, Papi was so shocked that it even opened its mouth, which was normally always shut. It found it hard to imagine Judgment could proactively say something like that in such an unconcerned tone...

How could this artificial human girl, who should have been incomparably obedient to her creator, say such things on her own? And you should know perfectly well how important my clone is!

"Lord Papi, what do you think of this tactic?"

The completely self-unaware executioner girl asked Papi in a flat tone, "Your clone doesn't usually have any use anyway, so it should be fine if I use it as bait to defeat the freak leader, right?"

"..."

Papi took a deep breath before calming itself and saying, "It isn't completely useless. The reason I was able to teleport the two of you back this time was entirely thanks to this clone activating a new teleportation spell."

"Yeah! Sister Eileen, that was a little wrong of you to say!"

Crimson Blade, lying on the sofa, chimed in, "Lord Papi at least helped analyze the magical residue left behind by the freak leader last time. That allowed it to create a teleportation spell that could ignore the freak leader's isolation formation. It isn't useless at all!"

What kind of use was that? Only weak magical girls needed that sort of spell. Did you think I couldn't retreat on my own without it?

Though she thought that, Judgment's expression remained unchanged. However, considering that she still needed to use Crimson Blade at this stage... she didn't refute her words. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry. That was my oversight."

"N-no... it's fine! It's good as long as you understand!"

Seeing Judgment apologize to her so quickly, Crimson Blade waved her hands repeatedly to say it was fine. But as Papi watched this unfold, a strong sense of unease rose in its heart!

Judgment's eyes... she was actually thinking! She was thinking outside of combat! It would have been one thing if she calculated strategies and execution methods during battle, but in an ordinary situation like this... what was she thinking about?

The feeling that its creation was vaguely slipping out of its control made Papi uneasy. So it asked again, "Are you sure... the freak leader didn't do anything to you?"

"Of course not. If he had really done something to me, there was no way I wouldn't have noticed."

After answering, Judgment impatiently continued, "Since Lord Papi is unwilling to use its clone as bait, I'll have to think of other tactics..."

Papi examined Judgment's expression a few more times, then sensed her emotions... they were filled with an obsession over [defeating the freak leader]!

Looking at it that way... it was unlikely that the freak leader had tampered with her! After all, Judgment clearly wanted to defeat the freak leader even more than before. How could anyone in this world increase their opponent's obsession with defeating them?

If that was the case... could something unknown have happened during her battle with the freak leader, allowing her to gain emotions and the ability to think?

Papi thought to itself: Though I don't know what happened... in any case, I will never allow a creation that has learned to think independently and may escape my complete control to exist!

Of course, Judgment's changes were definitely beneficial to it for now, so it would let her use this momentum to fight even more earnestly and desperately against the freak leader! But after she defeated him... or if something unexpected happened, it would send Judgment back to its main body to reset her state and return her to normal!

"I see..."

Meanwhile, in the freak base leader's library, Bai Yu looked at the words appearing on the page and said, "So what you mean is, even you don't know what happened, right?"

[If you properly hit her, then the magic should indeed have taken effect. The executioner girl's heart should be filled with you right now.]

Words continuously appeared on the magic book in Bai Yu's hand: [She'll become extremely concerned with you. There'll be only you in her heart... and if she goes to extremes, she may even regard everything other than you as worthless grass.]

"And the way she expresses that is by saying she'll definitely defeat me next time?"

[Ahem... I don't know about that. After all, this is the first time this magic has been used on a magical girl with that emotionless android-girl style. That's why I had you try it.]

"I see..."

Seeing the words on the page, Bai Yu pinched his chin, looking thoughtful...

[But don't worry. Anyone hit by this magic will definitely fall in love with the caster! It's just that... everyone expresses love differently.]

The magic book continued explaining: [Taking humans as an example, some people affected by this magic will react by confessing normally. Others will stalk the person, drag them home, and imprison them... some even express their love by eating the other person. Physically.]

"That really is quite interesting!"

At that moment, Bai Yu suddenly curled his lips and said, "In terms of entertainment value, this magic is much more interesting than a spell that turns an opponent into a slave doll plush ball in one shot!"

[That's true. As long as it doesn't backfire... this is a very good spell.]

Backfire? I barely even let my main body go onto the battlefield. I'm already so cautious—how could it possibly backfire?

Though that was what he thought, Bai Yu still instinctively felt a trace of alertness when he saw those words, so he casually asked, "You didn't get burned by this spell, did you?"

[Nothing of the sort.]

Those five words immediately appeared on the page.

"Haha, that's true. How could a mighty freak leader possibly get burned by his own magic?"

After making that joke, Bai Yu smiled and released the magic book, letting it fly back to the bookshelf on its own. Then he checked his phone... it was already noon.

He had dealt with Judgment in the morning, would deal with Xinghua in the afternoon after lunch, and still had to satisfy Meng Yue at night... he really was diligent as a freak leader!

Meanwhile, Xinghua, whom Bai Yu had been thinking about, wasn't playing on her game console. Instead, she was on all fours facing a mirror, her little mouth open as she bared her white teeth.

"That's strange... I could clearly bite through something so hard yesterday."

Looking at her utterly ordinary human teeth, Xinghua closed her mouth... disappointment plainly showing in her eyes.

Inside her mouth... her moist, deep throat, neat white teeth, small tender tongue—everything looked so normal. Yet Xinghua was deeply dissatisfied with this very normality.

Especially when she bit down hard on her own arm and left only a few tooth marks in the flesh, Xinghua was even more upset than when the freak leader had come to provoke her last night!

Thinking back to last night, the freak leader had come here and smiled as he told her, "I never expected you to be so happy being my pet dog!"

Happy? What a joke! If you hadn't forcibly fed me that Strong Doll Potion, how could I possibly have acted so obediently? You're really blindly confident in your own charm!

"You really are shameless, Master. You controlled my body and mind the entire time, yet you still think I'd be happy?"

Xinghua shot Bai Yu a speechless glance, then turned her head away to ignore him... only for Bai Yu to suddenly suck on her cheek the very next second!

"You taste like you're lying~~~"

"You—"

Looking at the grinning freak leader, Xinghua felt her blood pressure surge! Lying, my ass! Besides, you controlled me the entire time and never gave me a chance to express myself! How could you know whether I was happy or not?

But Xinghua hadn't realized... because there was neither a clock in the room nor even the game console, which had been taken away, she had no sense of time and had no idea that twelve hours had actually passed!

In other words, calling Bai Yu Master, continuing to walk on all fours, and happily sticking out her tongue when petted... were all now Xinghua's subconscious behaviors!

Not to mention, the potion Bai Yu had fed Xinghua wasn't actually a Strong Doll Potion at all. If he had to describe it, it could at most be considered a Weak Doll Potion.

After drinking this kind of potion, receiving an order from one's master would at most create an urge to obey comparable to the urge to sneeze or burp. As long as one put in a little effort, it could be endured. Even resisting for half an hour would weaken the potion's effects, and after an hour, one could ignore the potion entirely through willpower.

After all, Bai Yu had only recently learned a little about potion-making, so he could only make such weak potions. When the potion was first made, he had tested it on Meng Yue. After he asked Meng Yue to resist its effects, she was completely unaffected after an hour.

But no matter what, Bai Yu hadn't expected Xinghua to make no attempt whatsoever to resist the urge to obey inside her body, and to still be affected even after twelve hours!

This girl definitely hoped from the bottom of her heart to be controlled by the potion's effects, or she wouldn't be this obedient...

After realizing Xinghua's state of mind, Bai Yu couldn't help but come up with an even more delightful idea!

"How strange. Walking on all fours still feels really nimble..."

Back in the present, Xinghua crawled nimbly across the floor on all fours. She even felt that if the pads of her hands and feet were sticky, she could crawl all over the walls like a gecko!

But after working at it from last night until now, Xinghua had even forgotten about her game console not being returned! She had kept searching for the feeling in her room, only to regretfully discover that all she could do was crawl around nimbly. The powerful canine fangs that could shatter hard objects had vanished from her mouth.

Could it be that she really had to keep fighting like a dog to activate the Beast Power within her body?

After realizing her efforts had been fruitless, Xinghua could only lie helplessly on the blanket... it seemed she would have to wait until that freak leader took her out for training again.

Come to think of it, that so-called Strong Doll Potion yesterday... wasn't actually so bad once she thought about it. It had directly controlled her, saving her from having to proactively flatter the freak leader!

After all, the freak leader was an awful guy! Rather than being forced to wag her tail and beg him herself, wouldn't it be much easier if he directly controlled her? Then no matter what happened, it would all be her body being forced to do it, completely unrelated to her true feelings—

Just as Xinghua was thinking that, Bai Yu pushed open the door and entered. Xinghua instinctively curled up a little, then asked with a flushed face, "Freak leader... are you going to force me to drink that shameless potion today too~?"

"Oh? You want to drink it that badly?"

Seeing Xinghua's overly obvious expression, Bai Yu couldn't resist rubbing her head. Sure enough, Xinghua immediately subconsciously wanted to stick out her tongue—

Damn it! Haven't yesterday's potion effects completely faded yet?

Suppressing the urge to happily stick out her tongue, Xinghua thought to herself, I didn't expect this potion to be so powerful. If I drink too much, won't my mind really get twisted someday?? That kind of... that kind of thing absolutely must not happen~~~

"Sorry to disappoint you, but there won't be any potion today. However..."

Bai Yu wore a delighted smile as he pulled out a mechanical blindfold resembling a pair of VR goggles from somewhere.

"Today, we'll try this!"

As he spoke, Bai Yu forcibly put the mechanical blindfold over Xinghua's face. With her eyes covered, Xinghua struggled and shouted, "You perverted freak! What did you put on me—"
