Double the Training Speed

"Angewomon! Let's fall together!"

Mo Si dropped a bombshell. "Fall into LadyDevimon, then digivolve to Mega as Lilithmon. She's one of the Seven Great Demon Lords too. However weak she might be, we wouldn't have to fear Belphemon."

Just like advancing through sequences by drinking potions, different Digimon needed different conditions to digivolve. Lilithmon represented "lust" among the Seven Great Demon Lords, so her digivolution conditions were obvious.

That meant flirting with the limits and getting lewd!

"What?!"

Angewomon felt as though lightning had struck her.

She had thought getting stronger together meant studying magic and improving their combat abilities. She had never expected anything like this!

Mo Si had saved her. She had thought she was a champion of just-

"Stop!"

Unable to control her body, Angewomon could offer only the one form of resistance available to her: a verbal warning. "Stop right now, or... or I'll keep screaming inside your head!"

Mo Si's movements paused.

Angewomon immediately felt a pang of loss. She gathered herself and urged, "Mo Si, don't do that anymore. The Holy Ring will disappear."

A Holy Ring was a ring-shaped accessory possessed by certain holy Digimon.

Looking at the panel, where the probability of becoming LadyDevimon was still one percent, Mo Si said, "This is all for survival."

Angewomon remained unmoved. "If surviving means falling, then I'd rather not survive!"

There seemed to be something in her heart more important than staying alive.

"..." Mo Si fell silent.

Because her heart was racing. Because she felt joy.

After crossing into another world and escaping reality's gravitational pull, she had wanted to do whatever she pleased. But she had also worried that excessive indulgence would turn her into a deranged idiot, so she had restrained herself and second-guessed her every move. For the past dozen or so days, she had behaved herself like an ordinary person.

But now things were different.

Inside her body was a kind, upright soul, radiant as the sun.

With a soul like that as her anchor, she could fly farther.

Like a kite, however high she flew, she would never have to fear losing her balance, because there was a string holding her. It was a restraint, certainly, but also a source of security.

Human nature was to seek a sense of security.

And Angewomon's soul was Mo Si's source of security, the safety valve that would keep her from running wild.

"!"

Sensing Mo Si's racing heartbeat and seeing her remain silent, Angewomon thought she had spoken too harshly and hurt her. Guilt immediately welled up inside her.

Her methods might be wicked, but Mo Si had saved her life, after all.

She should be gentler, patiently guiding her onto the right path.

That was what a righteous Angewomon ought to do.

Just as she was considering how to comfort Mo Si, a wave of pleasure suddenly seeped into her mind.

Angewomon cried out in flustered anger, "I told you to stop!"

"This time, I'm not trying to make you fall," Mo Si said. "It's just ordinary, simple pleasure. Feels nice, doesn't it?"

...It really does.

No, wait. Why are you so practiced at this? How many times did you squeeze them before I woke up?

Angewomon felt that, if she still had a body of her own, her face would have been bright red. After a brief silence, she said, "Pleasure isn't allowed either."

Mo Si walked into the bathroom and spread her arms before the mirror. "Look at these breasts, this waist, these legs, this butt. If we don't enjoy them ourselves, are we supposed to let someone else enjoy them?"

Angewomon couldn't help asking, "Don't you feel ashamed?"

Mo Si chuckled. "It's just us here. I already see you as my second personality. Is there any reason to feel ashamed about showing my true self in front of myself?"

...What do you mean, second personality? You're the newcomer here!

Angewomon grumbled inwardly. Still, since Mo Si was being so sincere, she shared her honest feelings too. "You're such a pervert."

"What's wrong with being a pervert?"

She sounded perfectly justified.

Angewomon really wanted to suck in a sharp breath, but unfortunately, she couldn't control her body. She could only accept that her savior, the other mind sharing her body, was a pervert.

"...I understand." Mo Si turned around.

"What do you understand?" Angewomon had a bad feeling.

Mo Si gave a low chuckle. "I'll show you something even more perverted."

"Wait!"

Seeing that Mo Si was ready to tear off the roof, Angewomon finally agreed to let her open a window instead. "I get it! It's our own body, so we should be the ones to enjoy it."

"Ha, you finally understand." Mo Si smiled in satisfaction.

Just as planned~

She had managed to preserve her little daily pleasure.

Mm!

Angewomon's mind reeled.

Mo Si said, "The weak sink into indulgence, so they need abstinence. The truly strong control their desires and remain themselves amid temptation. This is a trial. Only after undergoing seven baptisms of desire can you become truly strong."

Angewomon thought that made sense. Rather than forbidding such base pleasures, wasn't retaining her sense of self amid them also a way to temper her will?

As long as I get through this trial, I can become an archangel!

That was what Angewomon thought.

Mo Si left the dormitory.

"What are you going to do?" Angewomon asked worriedly.

"Relax. I won't do anything reckless."

She had only been trying to scare her earlier anyway. Mo Si took Angewomon out to get acquainted with the world of Fairy Tail and meet their fellow members of the Fairy Tail guild. Then she returned to the library to continue studying magic.

Although she had already grasped the basics of Take Over Magic, she still needed to read about the key points for further training.

After finishing her training for the day, she had dinner at the guild, returned to the dormitory, and washed up. Then she lay down in bed and drifted peacefully off to sleep.

Before falling asleep, she said to Angewomon, "Good night."

"Good night," Angewomon replied.

On the very first day they had met, she had discovered that a pervert had taken over her body. The only consolation was that Mo Si hadn't hidden her thoughts, but had shown her true self instead.

That meant she possessed at least one admirable quality called "innocence." It meant she could still be saved.

That gave Angewomon a sense of purpose: the mission of redeeming this pervert.

A new day arrived. Mo Si woke, sat up, and stretched, then got out of bed and walked to the window. She opened it and felt the cool morning breeze.

She was in a better mood than on any previous morning.

"Huh? My magic power is a little stronger than yesterday." That improved Mo Si's mood even further.

But it also puzzled her. Sleep normally only restored stamina and magic power. She had never heard of it increasing magic power too.

"After you fell asleep, I could control the body."

Angewomon's voice sounded in her mind, supplying the answer.

"I see. That's great, then."

Mo Si didn't mind. After all, she was the only one likely to use this body to do anything reckless. Angewomon was the more conservative of the two, so there was no need to worry about her getting up to anything.

In fact, having Angewomon take control of the body and continue training while her own consciousness slept was like having a training accelerator: double the training speed.

Fantastic!

Angewomon said, "Last night, I tried using Take Over Magic."

"Do you have a soul you can take over?" Mo Si asked curiously.

Without a soul to take over, Take Over Magic couldn't show its power. But they had only learned Take Over Magic yesterday. Where would they have found a soul to take over?

Angewomon said, "My own."
