That was what the contract spirit had told her. Therefore, all the money Meng Yue earned from her daily jobs went to the contract spirit, supposedly as funding to fight the Monster Organization and maintain world peace.
The contract spirit always told her to endure it a little longer. As long as the Monster Organization completely disappeared from the world, she could return to eating normally and escape her impoverished life. But without realizing it, she'd endured for three years. She'd been so close to succeeding today... It was all that damned monster leader's fault!
Thinking of that, Meng Yue couldn't help feeling furious! Instinctively, she wanted to resist Bai Yu by claiming she couldn't understand cat videos and firmly refusing to imitate a pet cat! Yet when Bai Yu tapped her nose with a dried fish, Meng Yue still shamefully opened her little mouth...
"Meow..."
Meng Yue softly let out a catlike cry, and Bai Yu faithfully tossed the dried fish over. Meng Yue immediately caught it in her mouth and eagerly began chewing!
Mmm~~~ So salty, so crispy, so delicious! It felt like the deliciousness of fried food had exploded inside her mouth. It had been so long since she'd tasted something like this!!
After swallowing the dried fish with her eyes narrowed, Meng Yue stuck out her little tongue to lick her lips, still looking unsatisfied. She turned her gaze toward Bai Yu again and asked with a grin, "Master, is there any more?"
"Of course!"
Seeing Meng Yue like this, Bai Yu revealed a meaningful smile. He then took out a transparent bag filled with dried fish!
"Ah~~~"
Meng Yue immediately assumed a pose that begged to be fed, opening her little mouth as she waited for Bai Yu to feed her. But Bai Yu smiled and said, "You can have some, but I think that cat cry from earlier was still lacking a bit of feeling..."
Volume One: Bath Time for the Kitty
Hearing that, Meng Yue's expression froze before anger surged through her heart!
I'm a magical girl. It's already good enough that I'm willing to imitate a cat for a monster! And you're still not satisfied? What do you mean, lacking feeling? How am I supposed to know what kind of meowing counts as having feeling?
"Meoww?~~~"
Unfortunately, she found out soon enough. Bai Yu somehow found an anime clip and put it on the television: an adorable catgirl, cheeks flushed and head tilted back, let out a cry that sounded like she was in heat. It was seductive and alluring, enough to set one's imagination running wild. Compared to that, her quiet little "meow" really did seem perfunctory...
Where did this dead pervert find an anime like that? Does he seriously want me to make shameless noises like that slutty catgirl on TV? In his dre... dre...
Before she could finish thinking, Meng Yue saw Bai Yu pull two dried fish from the bag and wave them before her eyes between his fingers.
"If you want them, imitate the one on TV and meow again!"
Despicable bastard! Using such... such a method~~~
Fine! It's not like imitating a few cat cries will do anything! More importantly... if I eat more of the monster leader's food, then in a sense, I'll be draining the Monster Organization's funds from within!
A cat cry with feeling, right? For the sake of eating your dried fish, I'll learn it properly!
Thus, Meng Yue gathered herself... then, with her little face slightly red, she opened her mouth and let out a cat cry.
"Meoww??~~~"
To eat up the Monster Organization's funds, Meng Yue was going all out! She worked very hard to imitate the catgirl on TV, letting out an incredibly sweet, soft meow in a syrupy voice~~~
"Not bad! Not bad at all!"
That body-melting cat cry immediately drew praise from Bai Yu! He raised his hand and tossed out the two dried fish, while Meng Yue naturally caught them with her little mouth and happily ate them.
"Meoww~~~"
Meng Yue let out a blissful sound after eating the dried fish. Of course, someone who hadn't eaten meat in so long couldn't possibly be satisfied by just three dried fish, so she lifted her head to look at Bai Yu again, wearing a pleading expression that clearly said, "I want more."
"Then... you know what to do, right?"
"Meoww!"
And so, next, Meng Yue kept making shameless cat cries to please Bai Yu for the sake of eating dried fish... No, for the sake of draining the Monster Organization's funds. Bai Yu tossed her dried fish again and again, and soon the whole bag was nearly empty...
"Good performance!"
Rubbing Meng Yue's fair, tender chin, Bai Yu smiled and praised her. "You really do have a talent for becoming a pet cat!"
"Nom nom..."
Meng Yue was busy chewing dried fish, so she didn't pay attention to Bai Yu touching her here and there. Bai Yu, meanwhile, was very satisfied with her performance, so he poured the last remaining dried fish from the bag onto the clean floor.
"Meoww!"
Seeing the dried fish scattered across the ground, Meng Yue instinctively dropped onto all fours and moved her little mouth close, picking up the fish one by one from the floor and swallowing them. Yet she was so busy eating that she failed to notice something...
Whether she was catching dried fish in her mouth or picking them up from the floor, Meng Yue performed both actions with incredible naturalness! She looked like a real little kitten, not someone pretending to be one at all!
"Hehe~~~"
After eating an entire bag of dried fish, Meng Yue rubbed her stomach and finally revealed a satisfied expression. She lay on the floor with a smile, savoring the delicious taste from earlier...
Dried fish... no, the Monster Organization's funds really are delicious!
Yet while she lay on the floor, Bai Yu wasn't idle. Somehow, he pulled out a cat teaser wand and kept dangling the white fluffy ball hanging from its tip before her eyes.
Dead pervert! You really are treating me like a cat? I'm human! How could I possibly... possibly be interested in this crappy cat toy?
Yet the quickly swaying white fluff ball drew Meng Yue's gaze, making her unable to resist reaching out to grab it... She didn't know why she reacted that way and could only blame it on wanting to stop that annoying white fluff ball from moving!
However, while Meng Yue's attention was entirely fixed on the cat teaser, she didn't notice the faint purple glow appearing in Bai Yu's eyes as he stared at her body.
From Bai Yu's perspective, there was a fist-sized snow-white orb inside Meng Yue's body. And just as Meng Yue had continuously imitated cat cries, a sesame-seed-sized purple speck had appeared on the surface of that orb...
"Alright, next it's time for the kitty's bath!"
After teasing Meng Yue with the cat wand for a while, Bai Yu suddenly spoke.
A bath!
Hearing those words, Meng Yue's first reaction was excitement! After all, it had been a long time since she'd enjoyed a bath. She couldn't even remember the last time hot water had run over her skin...
The rented room Meng Yue lived in didn't have a shower, and she didn't have the money to visit a bathhouse... So every day, she could only use magic to clean the dust from her body. Otherwise, who knew how awful she would've smelled by now!
But just as she grew excited, Meng Yue remembered that her persona was a clueless little idiot, so there was no reason for her to know how to bathe herself. Which meant this bath... had to be given by Bai Yu!!!
Oh no!
At that moment, Meng Yue regretted pretending to be crazy and stupid more than ever! Just to make Bai Yu suffer, she'd acted as dumb as an idiot. She should've at least kept some basic knowledge, like how to take a bath!
After realizing the problem, Meng Yue felt her fists clench! For one brief moment, she truly wanted to fight Bai Yu to the death. Having someone bathe her was already humiliating enough, and it was the monster leader she hated to the bone! How could she allow this bastard to see her naked---
But then, dried fish and hot baths appeared in Meng Yue's mind... No, she still didn't know where the Dark-Energy Converter was! Even if she really could take Bai Yu down with her now, she couldn't do it. If she didn't destroy the Dark-Energy Converter, the Monster Organization wouldn't truly be eliminated!
No matter what, she had to get the Dark-Energy Converter's location from Bai Yu! What did a little humiliation matter for that? Think about her comrades still fighting...
Thinking that, Meng Yue gritted her teeth! She decided that it didn't matter if the monster leader saw her naked. But in exchange, she had to find a way to use up a huge amount of water! And shampoo and body wash too. She would do everything she could to consume the Monster Organization's resources!
Damned master! I'll make you understand that capturing me and bringing me into the Monster Organization was the greatest mistake of your life! Not only will I destroy the Monster Organization from within, I'll find the Dark-Energy Converter's location and then kill you too!
Volume One: The Monster Leader's Inheritance
"Guhhehe~~~"
Half an hour later, Meng Yue was soaking in a huge bathtub with a thoroughly relaxed expression. The feeling of having her body immersed in hot water made her feel that being alive was truly wonderful!
This is nice~~~ If there weren't a monster leader standing next to me, I'd probably be even happier!
Earlier, Bai Yu had first told her to raise her hands in surrender and take off her clothes, then carried her into the bathroom. While she was shocked by how large and luxurious Bai Yu's bathroom was, Bai Yu tossed her into the spacious bathtub and sprayed her directly with the showerhead!
After that, Bai Yu actually used a little brush to scrub her clean... Meng Yue rather liked the itchy, scratchy feeling, but every time she saw that bastard's delighted expression as he treated her like a cat, she got angry!
Still, Bai Yu didn't do anything too excessive afterward. He simply helped wash her hair and body before letting her soak on her own. This left Meng Yue, who had solemnly prepared herself for Bai Yu to do all sorts of excessive things to her in the bathroom... feeling strangely empty.
This guy... he had such an excited expression on his face, but in the end, he didn't do anything too improper!
What Meng Yue didn't know was that Bai Yu wasn't especially self-controlled... He just felt that helping her bathe was stimulating enough already. If he went any further and she got too agitated, she might start wildly releasing purification magic again.
But speaking of stimulation... for Bai Yu, who had been single his entire previous life, bathing an innocent, clueless beautiful girl was actually plenty stimulating! Not to mention that Meng Yue's body was like a work of art, beautiful to a degree that seemed like it could only exist in anime.
Come to think of it... are all magical girls like this?
Watching Meng Yue bury her mouth in the water and blow bubbles, Bai Yu thought to himself:
Every magical girl he'd seen so far had been a top-tier beauty! Were only beautiful girls chosen to become magical girls, or did magic have beautifying effects? Bai Yu hadn't looked into that yet.
After sitting beside the bathtub and calming himself down for a while, Bai Yu pulled out Meng Yue, whose little face had turned bright red from soaking. After carefully drying her body with a bath towel, he even meticulously dried her hair with a blow dryer.
This guy... he really does treat pet cats well.
Being cared for by Bai Yu like this made Meng Yue's heart soften for some reason. No one had ever looked after her so attentively before, and a faint ripple couldn't help spreading through her heart...
Wouldn't it be nice to keep being his pet cat like this?
But the instant that thought appeared, Meng Yue immediately became annoyed!
No, no, no! What am I thinking? I'm a magical girl! How can I have such embarrassing thoughts just because of a few tiny benefits?
Peh, peh, peh! Go die, monster leader! Keep being your pet cat? More like you can be my pet! If I step on you someday and you beg properly, maybe I'll spare your life and keep you as a pet dog~~~
That wouldn't be bad either—Wahhh!
Unfortunately, while Meng Yue was still fantasizing, Bai Yu had already dragged her in front of the sink, taken out a pink-and-white toothbrush, and started brushing her teeth!
That process... was truly torturous! Meng Yue hadn't expected having someone else brush her teeth to be so stimulating. And Bai Yu brushed them very carefully too. By the time he was finished, Meng Yue felt completely limp...
"Meoww~~~"
Meng Yue collapsed weakly on the sofa, her gaze somewhat unfocused. She had been changed into white pajamas, but then she thought of something else...
Come to think of it, there's only one bed in this room. That damned monster leader... he isn't going to make me warm his bed, is he?
Thinking that, Meng Yue felt flustered. But she quickly gritted her teeth! She'd accepted something as shameful as being bathed, so what was wrong with sleeping together? She'd already prepared herself for it—
"You'll sleep there tonight."
While Meng Yue was solemnly preparing herself, Bai Yu pointed at a black rug that had somehow already been laid out on the floor.
Meng Yue: "..."
Right... According to the setup, I'm just a slave soldier. Obviously, I'm not qualified to sleep with Master.
And so Meng Yue was tossed onto the rug. Still, the blanket was thick and soft, far more comfortable to lie on than the hard plank bed in her rented room!
As she narrowed her eyes, Meng Yue's eyelids began to droop. She'd experienced quite a lot today, leaving her mentally exhausted, and Bai Yu's room somehow gave her a strange sense of security...
Is it because sudden incidents won't happen when I'm in the monster leader's room? At least here... I won't be suddenly woken in the middle of the night and called out on a mission...
Meng Yue unconsciously relaxed, then fell asleep right there on the rug. Her body curled up like a cat's, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
"I actually made a magical girl fall asleep defenselessly in a monster den..."
Watching Meng Yue's adorable sleeping face, Bai Yu couldn't help muttering, "This feels like a pretty amazing achievement!"
Unfortunately, this probably wasn't the first time in monster history. The senior leader who had invented this magic must have played with the magical girls of his generation this way too. But if that predecessor had been so impressive, why was he eventually eliminated?
A monster leader's life was eternal. Only upon being eliminated would their power automatically pass on to the next person. Normally, the recipient would be a trusted subordinate of the monster leader, but for some reason, this time it had been passed to Bai Yu, an... ordinary transmigrator.
That's right. Bai Yu had originally been an ordinary student in an ordinary world. One day, while watching an anime called Gushing over Magical Girls, he suddenly jumped up and fantasized about bullying magical girls himself. Then his vision blurred...
When he opened his eyes again, Bai Yu had already transmigrated into this extraordinary world of magical girls and monsters! He'd just been wondering when his system would arrive after transmigrating, but instead of a system, he received the so-called inheritance of the monster leader's power!
Though he still didn't know why the inheritance had chosen him, Bai Yu accepted it without hesitation in order to fulfill his wish of bullying magical girls!
And just like that, Bai Yu, a human, became the monster leader, and now his wish to bully magical girls had come true...
Wiping a magical girl's mind blank, then tricking her into returning to the monster den and gradually guiding her toward corruption... that certainly counted as one way of bullying her, though none of it had been intentional on his part.
Looking at the sleeping Meng Yue, Bai Yu thought to himself. He wondered whether there would be a way to restore her memories in the future. Mainly, Bai Yu wanted to see what expression the valiant magical girl Meng Yue would make if she learned what she'd looked like as a pet cat.
That would probably be very interesting, wouldn't it?
Volume One: Master Is So Nice!
"Meoww!"
In the morning, Meng Yue rubbed her eyes and woke up. Honestly, she hadn't slept this well in a very long time. Somehow, she'd gotten a rare good night's sleep in the monster leader's room.
"Smells so good~~~"
The moment she woke up, Meng Yue sharply caught the scent filling the room! Following the smell, she saw a tray and a small bowl placed not far away.
"Wah! Th-this is!"
Scrambling over to the tray and bowl, Meng Yue stared with sparkling eyes at the steaming pan-fried fish fillet on the tray and the milk in the small bowl. There was no doubt about it—this was breakfast Master had prepared for her!
Master is so nice! I love—Peh, peh! Putting a plate and bowl on the floor, he's completely raising me like a cat! If I weren't trying to eat up your organization's funds, I wouldn't put up with this humiliation...
Thinking that, Meng Yue stuck out her tongue and licked the milk in the bowl. Its sweet, rich aroma instantly filled her mouth, making her involuntarily tense up!
"Mmm!"
Meng Yue was about to keep lapping at the milk, but then she suddenly remembered something. Raising her head, she began sneaking glances around the room...
