Even though according to Witch L, choosing A would mean selling out Xisitina and Nami, and she wouldn’t have to be a s*ave.
But Xingyue didn’t know if it was her imagination.
She always felt that if she chose A, she might be tied up by an angry Xisitina and Nami, and then sandwiched cheese between the two breads, and then severely punished Xingyue.
Xingyue: ‘I hate this.’ QAQ
‘Forget it. I failed, so I should bear the consequences myself. Even though I’m a sweet, soft loli…’
‘My spine isn’t soft.’ (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )
“I get it, I’ll sign…”
Xingyue sighed, preparing to sign her name on the parchment.
However…
[Witch L’s favorability +20]
[Gained “Witch’s Appreciation,” main quest has evolved.]
Xingyue: ‘…Huh? (°ー°〃)’
‘Did something just happen?’
Xingyue looked up and saw Witch L looking at her with a very joyful expression.
Although she didn’t know why she was making that expression, that comical face was a little creepy…
Xingyue didn’t dare to look anymore and buried her head to sign.
…
“There, that should do it.”
After signing, with the ink still wet on the sheepskin contract, Witch【L】lazily snapped her fingers, and the magic chains wrapped around Xingyue’s legs suddenly disappeared.
“Well then, little Xingyue, remember to come find your big sister here at this time tomorrow~” the Witch lady said, narrowing her eyes.
“If you dare to run away… you know the consequences of breaking the contract.”
“Er…”
Xingyue staggered back half a step.
“Alright, you can go find that little cat girl now.” Witch L opened the door to the second floor.
“N-no need to draw cards again?”
Xingyue’s gaze swept over the scattered cards on the bar.
“You’re my property now, what’s the point of drawing cards?” Witch【L】scoffed, and with a wave of magic, the contract rolled up and disappeared into the void.
“If you dawdle any longer, your big sister might just start enjoying her s*ave’s services ahead of schedule~”
Witch L licked her lips.
Xingyue: ‘Eek, so scary!’ (つ﹏⊂)
Xingyue practically stumbled towards the wooden door.
The witch’s laughter followed from behind…
****
The moment she passed through the portal, the distinct scent of forest vegetation hit her.
“Is the second floor a forest?”
Xingyue said, looking around.
Just then…
“Hey… what was that?!”
Several cold glints shot through the air!
Xingyue threw herself to the ground as kunai and shuriken grazed her hair and embedded themselves in a tree trunk, sending wood splinters flying onto her shoulder.
Xingyue clutched her head and looked forward.
Then her eyes widened.
The black-haired, red-eyed cat girl, Nami, was locked in combat with five black-clad ninjas, her flaming short blade clashing with their ninja swords, creating dazzling sparks.
“Nami!” Xingyue’s shout was drowned out by the crisp sound of blades clashing.
“Hey, who’s that?”
Xingyue noticed that one of the ninjas was carrying a small, unconscious, white-haired cat girl on his shoulder. She was dressed in a red and white Japanese shrine maiden outfit, and her features were identical to Nami’s, except for her hair color. She looked just like a miniature version of Nami.
“Xingyue?”
Nami noticed Xingyue as well.
She quickly pulled away and came to Xingyue’s side.
“What exactly is going on?” Xingyue was bewildered.
“Sorry, I’ll explain the situation later. Help me out for now,” Nami quickly conveyed her battle plan.
“I’m going to unleash my power in a moment. You take that chance to rescue my sister and run as far as you can! I’ll take care of these scumbags.”
Nami kept it short.
Xingyue: ‘S-sister…?’
‘So the “cat” Nami said she needed to save earlier was her sister.’
“Watch for the right moment!”
After speaking, Nami turned to block a kunai aimed at her face.
The next second, an eerie light erupted from her red eyes, and the flaming short blade in her palm grew larger, the flames engulfing its blade burning even more fiercely.
A red magic circle unfolded beneath her feet, and Nami’s figure was swallowed by raging fire.
“In the name of raging flames—incinerate all evil!”
“Magical Girl【red】, at your service!”
When the fiery red light dissipated, Magical Girl【red】stood levitating in the air, clad in a crimson furisode-style kimono. The fabric, as thin as a cicada’s wing, outlined her graceful curves. The flame belt at her waist flowed with her movements, revealing large swathes of fair skin.
The Japanese katana in her hand glowed like molten lava, and the cat head carved on the tsuba was lifelike.
“Ah (*゚ロ゚),” Xingyue’s mouth fell open.
So the tsundere cat girl who had been by her side all this time was Magical Girl【red】.
Xingyue: ‘Eh, what’s going on? Why am I surrounded by magical girls?’ 🤔
‘Xisitina too, and Nami too…’
‘I swear it wasn’t this easy to run into them when I was an evil villain… Ever since I became a loli, everyone around me is a magical girl.’ (Annoyed)
The moment Nami swung her katana, nine tails made of fire shot up into the sky:
“This blade is named—【Guren】!”
The next second, a torrent of scorching flames swept through the forest, burning the ninjas’ weapons to ash. The black-clad ninjas scattered in the sea of fire, clutching their heads.
Xingyue took the opportunity to rush towards the abandoned little cat girl.
Xingyue: ‘So hot, so hot!’ (๑˃ಐ˂৭)
‘Nami’s move is too powerful—’
But fortunately, Nami also intentionally directed the flames away from Xingyue, and soon Xingyue had carried the little cat girl out of the sea of fire.
The warmth of the little cat girl in her arms seeped through her thin shrine maiden outfit, her cheeks still rosy.
From a distance came the sounds of Nami’s fierce battle with the ninjas. The sound of clashing blades mixed with the roaring flames, distorting the very air.
“Are you okay? Wake up…” Xingyue gently shook the little cat girl, her fingertips brushing through her sweat-dampened hair.
The girl in her arms suddenly let out a faint whimper, her eyelashes trembling, but she never opened her eyes.
Xingyue: ‘Her consciousness is very weak…’
Xingyue looked at the little cat girl’s cute, rosy lips and couldn’t help but swallow.
The next second…
[Time for a Choice!]
[A. Give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to wake her up 😋 (Nami’s route will turn into a route where you capture both sisters)]
[B. Wait here for Nami to finish and come help (Nami’s route continues)]
[C. Help the ninja faction, use her to threaten Nami (Nami dies, Nami’s route ends, Villain Index +300)]
Xingyue: ‘…Huh?’
‘Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait—’
Xingyue: ‘What the heck?‘ ๑_๑
‘This has completely thrown me for a loop.’
‘Why is each option more explosive than the last?’ (Annoyed)
After some careful thought, Xingyue decided…
