White

“Different how, exactly?”

Red looked at the nun.

That description of a “different style” was far too vague to mean anything useful.

“This, huh…”

The nun scratched her cheek, her gaze drifting elsewhere as she deliberately dodged the question.

“You’ll understand once you meet her in person, milady.”

“Huh, she’s already here?”

“Yes.”

“White is waiting in the inner hall right now.”

“Shall we head over?”

Red knew a bit about this already.

She had heard fragments and hints from Buddy before.

She just hadn’t expected it to happen this fast.

“Then lead the way.”

The moment Red stepped into the inner hall, she was stunned by the tense, drawn-sword atmosphere.

The vaulted ceiling soared overhead.

Sunlight filtered through stained-glass windows, scattering brilliant colors across the floor.

Ancient portraits and crosses hung along the walls, and the air carried a faint scent of incense.

It should have felt solemn and sacred.

But that sense of reverence had been completely shattered.

Two people were facing off inside.

One of them had long silver hair that fell all the way to her waist, cascading down her back like a waterfall.

A few strands framed her cheeks, lending her an unexpectedly seductive air.

She wore a white-based combat outfit, styled like a modified sailor uniform.

Below the short skirt, her long legs were fully exposed, paired with over-the-knee white boots.

Silver patterns traced the edges of her outfit, gleaming under the light.

This was the new Magical Girl White.

The other was Ma Guohao.

A newly born half-mechanical monster.

White and Ma Guohao stood directly opposite each other, as though a fight could break out at any second.

Her normally pale cheeks were flushed with agitation.

Her pointing finger trembled, and her eyes were filled with distrust and hostility.

“I still can’t accept this!”

White’s voice was sharp, thick with anger, as she stepped closer.

“A monster like you should stay quietly among your own kind.”

“Instead, you run over here talking about playing hero, shouting about fighting monsters, and even wanting to team up with Red.”

“How am I supposed to accept that?!”

Ma Guohao looked awkward and unsettled.

He was tall, dressed in an ordinary T-shirt and jeans.

His hands clenched unconsciously at his sides.

His brows were knit together, his eyes showing determination mixed with helplessness and grievance.

He took a deep breath and tried to explain calmly.

“I’ve already said it.”

“I want to use my own strength to help people.”

“I don’t want anyone else getting hurt because of monsters.”

“Then you could’ve just acted on your own!”

“Or worked with monsters from the Monster Research Institute!”

White pressed on relentlessly, her voice growing even more heated, spit nearly flying into Ma Guohao’s face.

“You came here insisting on partnering with Red?”

“That’s like a goblin teaming up with an elf, or a toad dreaming of eating swan meat!”

“You’re just after Red’s looks!”

Red finally snapped.

She stepped forward and knocked White on the head without any restraint.

“Pa!”

The sharp sound echoed through the quiet inner hall.

“Don’t talk about me like I’m just some decorative vase that relies on looks!”

She turned toward Ma Guohao, her tone cooling noticeably.

“And you.”

“Why are you here?”

“I already told you not to think about this.”

“It’s dangerous.”

Ma Guohao recalled the promise he’d once made about becoming stronger.

“No.”

“I think I’ve already become stronger.”

“I can help now.”

Red sighed, her expression turning serious.

“No.”

“You don’t understand.”

“You really don’t understand what fighting monsters actually means.”

She was almost shouting now.

“You’ll be defeated.”

“You’ll be trained.”

“You’ll be hypnotized.”

“In the end, you’ll be feminized.”

“You’ll lose your will and become nothing more than an RPG for someone’s pleasure!”

“Do you have the resolve to face that kind of failure?!”

“Senpai, that’s not that exaggerated…”

White’s mouth twitched.

She was clearly shaken by Red’s description.

“So what if a magical girl’s fate is cruel?”

Red pointed straight at Ma Guohao’s face, her tone firm and righteous.

“Even so, are you still going to fight?”

“Uh, that’s literally just hentai game settings, okay…”

White knew Red’s overwhelming strength might have insulated her from what defeat meant for lower-ranked magical girls.

But she hadn’t expected Red’s concept of defeat to be entirely based on eroge logic.

For a moment, White genuinely didn’t know how to respond.

“Even so,”

“I don’t want to have power and still be protected by others.”

“I want to be the one protecting people.”

“That’s what I decided after becoming a monster.”

Ma Guohao reaffirmed his resolve, his eyes full of sincerity.

“Tch, listen to how righteous you sound!”

White scoffed, crossing her arms and curling her lips.

“You really expect me to believe you’ve never had any filthy thoughts looking at Red?”

“You dare say it’s purely justice, and not you wanting to possess her as a man?”

“Or to put it more bluntly.”

“You really don’t have even the slightest desire to OOXX with Red?”

Hearing this, Red actually felt a bit relieved.

As far as she remembered, Ma Guohao had never shown interest in girls.

For the past two years, he’d received countless confessions, yet never accepted any of them.

She’d even suspected he might like men at one point.

As his buddy, that had seriously worried her about her own chastity.

She’d even secretly sent him a sexual orientation test.

Thankfully, the results had come back normal.

“Don’t spout nonsense!”

“That’s slander, you’re attacking my character!”

Ma Guohao’s face suddenly showed guilt, his eyes darting away.

Seeing this, Red panicked instead.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

“In the end, you’re just into her sexy long legs, her full hips, and her slim, snakelike waist!”

White’s eyes were now filled with heart shapes, suspicious drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

She looked like a complete pervert.

Both Red and Ma Guohao stared at White with open disdain.

At this point, Red felt that the greatest threat to her chastity might actually be White.

That said…

If she got pregnant while transformed as a magical girl, would she stay female forever like in novels?

Honestly, she didn’t know.

Could a transformed body even get pregnant?

As far as she could remember, she hadn’t even used the bathroom while transformed.

She couldn’t help but complain silently in her mind.

“And besides,”

“you becoming a monster is the best proof.”

“All monsters are born from uncontrollable desire and sin.”

“Who’s to guarantee that one day you won’t be consumed by lust and betray Red, your own teammate?”

White had a point.

Ma Guohao was left completely speechless.

“You’re right.”

His face darkened.

“Then you understand.”

“Give up and go home.”

White was just about to persuade him further when she suddenly froze at his next action.

“Then, to prove that I won’t lay a hand on Miss Red…”

“I can only…”

He removed the bandages from his right arm.

What was revealed looked like a mechanical prosthetic.

The arm broke apart into countless tiny cubes.

They reassembled into a claw, each fingertip formed from razor blades.

The mirrored surfaces reflected his face.

His expression was ugly.

He clenched his teeth.

Closed his eyes.

And stabbed his right hand downward toward his crotch.
