One Thing Conquers Another? Ceruno

(Ceruno)

We took Miss Anjie to see Xiao Yi.

Although she came to the City School, her status remained that of a prisoner, and she still wore Shock Collar around her neck capable of instantly knocking her unconscious...

Oh, this thing was originally a "gift" prepared for those Magical Girl Soldiers; using it on ordinary people would be fatal.

Because SpiCa required the capture of as many soldiers as possible, Aunt Hefi designed this, and because the working principle was simple, it was quickly mass-produced.

I got two too.

Not only was she given an electric shock device, but Miss Anjie's activities within the City School were also strictly restricted. Her treatment was probably even worse than that of Miss Stratos, who "abandoned darkness for light".

Xiao Yi would assign Miss Anjie some tedious but unimportant chores; if she performed well, this would be her chance for a reduced sentence...

Although she showed no desire to survive and only mechanically obeyed orders, at least she no longer exhibited suicidal tendencies.

However, that's enough.

She has plenty of time to reflect on her mistakes.

However, the atmosphere at the City School was unusual; something big seemed to have happened. I vaguely heard the other magical girls discussing it, but I didn't know what it was...

Anyway, let's go back to the dorm first.

"It smells so good!"

Going upstairs, before even entering the door, Golden sniffed and then started tugging at the door panel.

"Is Miluno making dinner?"

"Yay! Huh?!"

Ouch!

The Doggy transformed into human form and burst through the door, only to collide with Mono had come to open it after hearing the commotion.

"Why is this Doggy always so rough and unkempt?"

Wearing an apron, Miluno served a plate of fragrant stir-fried clams.

The Doggy started drooling just from the smell, and the drool landed on Mono, who was unfortunately pinned down by her.

"It's so dirty! Get out of the way!"

Mono cursed and tried to push the Doggy away, Miluno

"You're back just in time. I'm almost done with work. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

"Huh? Miluno, the horns on your head..."

If you look closely, not only does it have an extra horn, but its skin tone has also darkened, as if it had been tanned in Hawaii.

"This is the effect of Witchification; it will be removed later."

"Witchification?!"

So, witches really do have horns of all sizes on their heads...

Miss Jaeger, who was resting with her eyes closed on the sofa, did not have horns, but her Battle Dress had prominent V-shaped antennae.

"Something happened this afternoon, let's talk about it while we eat."

Miluno and Mono took turns giving a brief account of the attack on the City School.

A shocking fact.

I was so startled I almost dropped my chopsticks.

"A missile attack targeting the City School? A warhead or a super weapon?"

This is why they had to transform into witches to fight.

"Hmm, but I neutralized it with teleportation magic."

Miluno spoke calmly, as if she were simply picking up a soda can from the roadside and throwing it into a trash can.

"If we get hit directly, the City School will be sunk, right?"

"The City School does have an air defense system, so it shouldn't have been sunk, but it couldn't escape the missile's kill radius. The dome might have cracked, and parts of the east side and the Ring Corridor would probably have been lost."

"That's still very dangerous! This kind of thing happened while I wasn't there..."

There's nothing I can do here.

After Witchification Miluno can open teleportation portals over long distances; this ability might already be usable in combat.

She's getting stronger and stronger.

In contrast, I've been stuck in the same place, and I still need to rely on Miss Sirius's power to become stronger...

"Well."

He sighed as he thought about this.

"Oh, Ceruno."

Miluno put down her chopsticks and said:

"As payment for Witchification, I'll lend my body to Mono for the night. You must take good care of yourself."

"Ah?"

I didn't quite understand what she meant.

Miluno explained, "This little thing is making a fuss that if I don't let her use my body for one night, I won't turn back. I can't wear an antler all the time, can I? Even that guy Fomalhaut usually hides his antlers, which shows how inconvenient they are."

I looked at Mono, but she just smiled and didn't deny it.

I thought for a moment and replied, "Just one night shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Even if Mono wanted to do something to me, it would be Miluno's body.

It should be alright... right?

It is too sweet.

It's even sweeter than Tianjin-style roasted chestnuts!

The bedroom door was locked from the inside, leaving the Golden outside.

The room was also equipped with a soundproof Bubble Barrier.

After showering and drying her hair, Miluno lay down and let her consciousness drift into sleep, surrendering her body to Mono.

Then Mono sat up and let out a strange laugh.

"Kukuku! Miluno's body is mine! So Ceruno- chan is mine too!"

She also tidied her bangs, covering her right eye.

I reminded them:

"If you act too recklessly, Miluno will get angry!"

"So cute, Ceruno- chan is really a bit of a goofball. Miluno knew this all along, didn't she? To become a magical girl again, she offered you to me as a sacrifice! My little lamb~"

At this moment, Mono was only wearing a thin nightgown, and he hadn't even put on his pajama bottoms properly. He was sitting on the bed like a duck, deliberately showing off his shapely legs.

"Accept me, Ceruno- chan~ I'm willing to do even things that Miluno wouldn't do, okay?"

As she spoke, she licked her lips seductively. It was Mono, yet she used Miluno's face to make such an expression she wouldn't normally show—it was truly...

Tempting and delicious?

No, Ceruno!

Mono is Mono!

Don't be fooled by Miluno's appearance; they are different beings. If I were to attack Mono, it would be a betrayal of my spirit!

"Oh, stop struggling~ I'll make you feel really good, my skills are better than hers... Ouch!"

Seeing that my will was firm and my seduction had failed, she simply opened her arms and pounced on me, only to crash headfirst into the transparent Solidified Bubble. The collision of the hard horn with the bubble caused Mono to clutch its horn and let out a mournful cry.

"Ouch, that hurts! What's going on?!"

Did that horn grow from the skull?

"I need to protect myself; it's a promise I made to Miluno."

By dividing the bed in two with transparent bubbles, I officially severed ties with Mono.

Let's sleep like this tonight!

"Kukuku! Ceruno- chan~ I'm a witch now, you know!! Do you think this bubble wrap can stop me?"

The white hair rose with the rising magic, but quickly fell back down.

With his hand pressed against the thin "fried egg," Mono laughed:

"However, I would never resort to violence against someone I love. On this point, I agree with Miluno."

He couldn't help but frown, vaguely sensing that she wanted to try something new.

Just as we were pondering this, the magical girl 'Base Body, lying on the other bed, stirred. She removed her clothes and climbed onto our bed, wrapping her arms around Miluno's lower abdomen from behind. Her soft, delicate body, now only clad in her underwear, pressed tightly against Miluno's back. She obediently nuzzled her head, looking completely like a little bird seeking shelter...

"Ceruno- chan, if you're unwilling to come out, then I'll just have to satisfy you with my own Base Body ~"

Mono said this with a regretful tone.

It's clearly a case of one consciousness controlling two bodies in a charade!

"How could you do this!"

I lodge a protest.

Although it wasn't Miluno's doing, I still don't want to see Miluno hugging other girls... not even her own Witch Persona!

My panic made Mono reveal a smug smile.

"That's how it can be! Don't you think my Base Body looks a lot like yours? I chose this petite but large-breasted Base Body because I love Ceruno! Of course, if you don't want to sleep with me, I won't force you. We can just make do with this Base Body."

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around her Base Body and made a gesture as if to kiss her.

If I were to say that my being taken advantage of by Mono was a spiritual betrayal...

What's about to happen is physical infidelity...

"No..."

I removed the bubbles.

"Yay! Ceruno- chan understands me best!"

Mono immediately abandoned her own Base Body and pounced on her, pouting.

"Chirp chirp~ Let me try Ceruno- chan's flavor!"

We cannot admit defeat yet.

After all, I promised Miluno I would protect myself.

He grabbed her lower back and with a sudden burst of strength, flipped her over and pinned her beneath him. Mono was momentarily stunned by this sudden turn of events, but then he laughed:

"Oh? So Ceruno- chan is the type who takes the initiative in bed? I don't mind that at all~"

I sat on her lower abdomen and commanded:

"Mono, first, deactivate your Witchification."

"Hmm? What are you planning? Let me remind you, even if I change back now, the consciousness that controls my body will still be mine. After all, Miluno is already asleep and won't wake up until tomorrow morning."

"I didn't mean to wake Miluno, I just think this horn on your head is in the way, look..."

He leaned down, reached out and wrapped his arm around the back of her neck, slowly bringing his face close to Mono's slightly tipsy face. But before they could even touch, his forehead pressed against that black horn made of keratin.

After demonstrating, Mono understood what I meant.

"I see, it really is in the way. Since it was Ceruno- chan's request..."

The darkness that permeated my entire body gathered towards the Morning Star Crystal in my chest cavity, and then completely disappeared; I couldn't even sense the presence of that darkness anymore.

She can Witchification at any time.

And it can change back at any time...

It's such a convenient power, but what's the price to pay?

I touched my forehead, which had returned to normal.

"Is that better? Let's give each other a kiss!"

Mono pouted slightly.

I pretended to kiss her, and she nervously closed her eyes.

She and Sirius are the same kind of people; they talk like seasoned veterans, but they're actually novices who've never tasted anything. Even though she shared memories with Miluno, her true noob nature would be exposed when she logged in and tried to play the game herself.

"Well, turning back into a magical girl... should be fine."

I muttered to myself.

The high-voltage current struck Miluno's central nervous system, causing Mono to fall into a coma as well.

"See you tomorrow, little one."

Of course, she couldn't hear.
