Traditional Mana Replenishment

(Bai Ziye)

Can you accept me?

"Look me straight in the eyes, "the Shark Princess Witch asked.

She was candid and behaved very well during this period (at least in front of me). Her daily routine consisted of being dragged around by Liu, and she basically never expressed her own thoughts. If this was all acting to numb me, then she is indeed a good actress.

"You've changed a lot lately, so I'll trust you this once."

That's what they say, but I'm lame, and she can't perform well in a waterless environment either.

Sirius and SpiCa, despite joining forces, have been unable to capture Halley, and the Golden and Ryu's stamina is being steadily depleted...

We can't delay any longer.

This is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

"Ceruno, although we have no other choice, you must do something!"

"... What else can I do?"

I stated bluntly, "Filter out the Dark Energy, depriving this space of its fertile ground!"

Since a "Witch's Domain" requires a certain proportion of Dark Energy, wouldn't it be sufficient to simply prevent the Dark Energy from being "here"?

"This... this is too difficult."

Even at a time like this, can't she still muster her confidence?

"If you don't make a change, everyone here is doomed, including your mother... and Yezi!"

Even if you say that, I still don't know what to do...

"Goldie! Grab a soldier here!"

I gave orders to the Doggy fighting outside the bubble.

"Woof!"

The latter responded and grabbed a Shadow Soldiers with his bare hands, running back.

Bang--

The Golden passed through the Bubble Membrane without any hindrance, but the Shadow Soldiers got stuck on the outer wall of the bubble and almost pulled her backward.

"Awoo!!"

That's right, that's only natural.

Ceruno's bubble defense was designed to prevent these Shadow Soldiers from entering.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "What, Ceruno? You can reject Dark Energy, can't you?"

"Huh?!"

Even though I keep calling him an idiot.

But Ceruno is very quick-witted, sometimes even faster than me. After my prompting, she seemed to have found the clue as well.

"That's right, these Shadow Soldiers were born from Dark Energy!"

She tried raising her wand and aiming it at the Shadow Soldiers had crashed into the bubble.

A Bubble Membrane forms on the soldier's body, and then...

Soldiers who originally had normal human body sizes were suddenly compressed into a ball, leaving them no room to struggle.

"I can do it! I can do it!"

Ceruno began to brainwash herself, just like a salesperson in a pyramid scheme.

She raised her wand high.

In one go, he sealed more than a dozen Shadow Soldiers inside the sphere.

Perhaps due to the lingering Dark Energy, these sealed Shadow Soldiers cannot be replenished, effectively reducing the number of enemies.

The reason why the Shadow Soldiers keep coming is that they will reassemble after being scattered. Ceruno accidentally found the optimal solution.

"Alright! Watch them lock up the rest in one go!"

Ceruno appeared full of energy, rolled up her sleeves, and twirled her wand on her fingertips like a conductor's baton. The ruby on the wand shone brightly, and all the Shadow Soldiers within her field of vision were trapped in bubbles the size of ping-pong balls.

"... Ugh, I'm out of mana."

But she lay limply in my arms, her eyes half-closed, looking weak and powerless.

"Hey! Is that not enough?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I used up a lot of magic power fighting the Magic Titan. Goodnight, Miluno."

She adjusted her position, leaned against me, and closed her eyes completely.

"Wait, don't sleep!"

But I'm very sleepy.

We need her to turn things around right now; we can't let her just lie there doing nothing.

"Is there any way to transfer magic power? As a witch, Achernar, you must have a large amount of magic power stored up, right?"

"... As long as there is direct physical contact, magic can be transferred, so I didn't really consume much magic."

As she spoke, she took Ceruno's hand, but the latter mumbled in a daze, "Hmm, so slow, is this some kind of 5V1A charger?"

"If you really want to be fast..."

The Shark Princess Witch muttered to herself, leaning closer to press her lips against Ceruno's cheek...

"Wait, wait a minute!"

I couldn't help but call for a stop; I couldn't quite accept this development.

Just seeing it makes me feel terrible...

"What's wrong? This is a faster way to replenish mana than holding hands... Of course, kissing is even faster."

I gritted my teeth and said, "If it has to be done, I'll do it."

"... You don't have much magic left either, do you?"

"You fix it for me."

"..."

Although she didn't speak, the Shark Princess Witch had a suggestive smile on her face.

Her long, lush green hair seemed to come alive, stretching out, slipping into my clothes, and wrapping around me in circles...

"This can improve the transmission efficiency somewhat... but it's not as good as a kiss."

"Why would there be such a fan service-oriented magical girl anime setting?"

Who knows?

"Then why don't you just do it to Ceruno?"

"Because it's only 5V2A."

Her body was wrapped in the long hair of the Shark Princess Witch, and there was indeed a magical power flowing down her hair. Her magic was like a clear stream, and the feeling of it nourishing her whole body was very comfortable.

"Miluno ..."

Ceruno, leaning against me, became shy and asked with a blush, "... How about we just kiss?"

Tsk, not only are they not embarrassed, they even want to push their luck.

Since he was originally a boy, he was naturally proactive in this kind of thing.

"I was originally male, Sirius already told you, right?"

"... Hmm, I don't mind... I probably won't turn back in this lifetime, so... Miluno, it doesn't matter whether you're a boy or a girl..."

Overwhelmed with shyness, she covered her face.

I asked, "Then can you handle Dark Energy?"

"I can do it! I can do it!"

She seemed to have gained confidence.

"Then let's go."

With my hands on Ceruno's shoulders, I leaned down slightly, my lips gradually approaching her expectant little face. She pouted awkwardly with her eyes closed, then occasionally opened her eyes to peek, nervously displaying her cuteness.

Slow down the defensive bubble beneath your feet.

In an instant, all the disputes outside the bubble became irrelevant.

Lips closed.

Feel its soft and smooth texture.

The magic power within them surged forth like a floodgate opening, rushing into Ceruno's body through their touching lips—this was the most efficient way to replenish magic...

This is a 65W fast charger.

"Hmm..."

Even though she had no further intentions, Ceruno suddenly wrapped her arms around my back. Her petite body was slightly warm, her mind was hazy, her disordered breaths sprayed onto my face, and her eyes were also intoxicated...

The phone is overheating because it's charging too fast.

A long time.

Perhaps not long.

Ceruno was filled with magic.

Lips parting.

"Hoo, ha..."

She was still panting, her face flushed.

The influx of magical energy was like a stimulant for the magical girl.

"Mi, Miluno's toothpaste... and... seems to be the same one as Yezi's?"

Oh no!

Um, wait a minute.

When did she steal my toothpaste?
