Chapter 233 – #2-39 Magical Girl and Black Magical Girl, Mildam (4)
―I will let you run away from here.
―Instead, give up persuading Dan-ae and your plan to infiltrate the ‘Factory’.
That is Danae’s proposal.
“Because blue sapphires have a stubborn side. And if it were me, you would never listen.”
“But Black, I think Blue will listen to what you say.”
It makes sense.
That’s right, Blue Sapphire seems to have a lot of negative feelings towards Dan-ae.
Perhaps she thought she would understand if I told her this far, but she let out a small sigh and got off the bed.
“Well, there’s no need to answer right away. “You will need time to think.”
“24 hours.”
“I’ll give you just one day… In the meantime, please convince Blue. I wish I could convince Blue if possible, but… If that doesn’t work, I’ll send you alone.”
With those words, Danae walked towards her door.
And.
“I don’t like it.”
Those words were heard from Danae’s back as she was about to leave.
“… Did I hear wrong?”
“I said no.”
Danae’s gaze, looking back, glares coldly at Black.
It’s not the benevolent expression from a moment ago, nor the bewitching expression you always see… With a cold and mechanical look.
“To be honest, like you said, I’m not confident that I can survive the remaining week.”
“I don’t have the will to risk everything to save Cookie, Ms. Alpha, and the ‘strongest magical girl.'”
“I’m just a hickey at best, so that kind of role doesn’t suit me.”
You know best.
He said he was never suited for this type of work.
As an extra, I am much better suited to the role of just standing nearby and watching.
Still, Black continues.
“Because I have the temperament of a tree frog. “I have the personality of wanting to do more when people tell me not to do it.”
“… Do you think that makes sense?”
“What doesn’t make sense?”
At Black’s shameless tone, Danae’s gaze became even colder.
As Black, who has social phobia, his heart froze as if it had been grabbed by the scary gaze of his older sister.
However, trying to loosen her tongue… He continued.
“Rather than that, I’d like to ask you a question. Danae, you definitely made a promise when we first came here, right? “She has someone she wants to save.”
『Because there is someone I want to save too』
Surely, she said so.
That’s why she promised that if they passed the test, she would cooperate fully.
But…
“It’s a lie, right?”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Do not remove the hour hand. The eyes of truth that can see through all lies… It’s not the same thing, but even so, you’re not so tactless that you didn’t notice until it got to this point, right?”
When I was first brought to this ‘facility’ and talked to Dan-ae.
At that time, she explained that the plan to attack the ‘factory’ proposed by Blue Sapphire was extremely difficult.
She said she couldn’t succeed with just one person helping her.
At the same time, she persuaded the two people to take this ‘test’.
You won’t be able to return to your normal daily life, and you will no longer be able to use your strength as a warrior… They were thrown into this damn cage to undergo such renovation and development.
What is the reason you come here every night?
It wasn’t just to kill time by using the two as toys, but it might have been to intentionally push them to give up as soon as possible.
… Well, I don’t know for sure either way.
“You don’t want to save it, right?”
“You want to stop us from going to rescue you.”
So I interfered.
They deliberately gave us impossible tasks and harassed us.
In the case of Blue Sapphire, no matter how much you say, the resistance will only increase, so you seem to have it easy… I tried to persuade Black Twilight.
That’s Black’s guess, inference, prediction, and prediction.
“… “I thought you were cute, but you’re more cocky than I thought?”
“Being obedient and being liked doesn’t suit my personality.”
It’s okay to be servile.
Flattery, observing the other person’s feelings, and avoiding anger or criticism are things I have often done.
But I don’t want to do what I don’t want to do.
I don’t want to be servile in front of someone who pretends to be so smart and talks so proudly.
Above all, unless it’s someone you don’t like, it’s important to keep an eye on them.
There is no need to say that thanks to that personality, I got hit here and there and ended up being a hickey.
Dan-ae didn’t say anything after that.
He just glared at Black for a moment, as if he was somehow angry or with spiteful eyes… I just turned around again and left completely.
The cliff left, and Black relaxed for a moment and fell down on the bed.
And after a while.
After completing the humiliation curriculum, Blue Sapphire, half-fainted, was carried back to the room by the guard…
* * *
“There is no way I would listen to something like that. “It doesn’t make sense.”
And of course.
When I told the story of the cliff, I received this answer from Blue Sapphire.
From the beginning, Dan-ae seemed to have hoped that she would persuade Blue Sapphire, but no matter what she said, it would have been impossible to convince her.
“More than that, I thought she was treated a bit harsher than usual last night… Is it because of that? To vent your anger?”
“… It seems like that, maybe.”
“I’m furious. I really don’t like it.”
It was yesterday afternoon that Dan-ae failed to persuade Black and left.
The cliff she left yesterday afternoon, she came back here again when night fell and the lights were out… As expected, she and her colleagues humiliated these two people.
And as Blue Sapphire said, because she was harassed more persistently and more intensely than usual, she ended up showing off in many ways.
She wants to vent her anger in a petty way, but at the same time, you can see that she has the will to drive the two people away in any way possible… Anyway, it’s difficult.
“No, are you really upset? “She had no intention of keeping her promise in the first place?”
“Well. If you weren’t going to keep your promise, there’s no need to kick us out…”
“… That’s true too. Anyway, there are no other means.”
Although I am worried about this and that, I have decided to continue the ‘test’ as is for now.
Anyway, without Danae’s help, ‘infiltrating the ‘factory” or ‘rescuing the person’ seems hopeless…
“Excuse me… Really, is it okay? If not, at least black…”
However, even if that was the conclusion, Blue Sapphire still seemed uneasy.
It must be inconvenient to have Black dragged in by one’s own force.
However, Black has already made up his mind and has given Danae a clear answer.
Even if I retracted it now, I don’t think she would listen, and she had no intention of reversing it.
‘… And, honestly, I didn’t say anything… I have my own reasons…’
To tell the truth, there is a feeling of entrapment.
Well, her ‘reason’ is not as honorable or just as Blue Sapphire’s…
She confidently made a rebellious remark toward Dan-ae, but to be honest, she didn’t really want to rebel against Dan-ae that much.
No matter how much she is, there is no way that she, being a hottie, would step forward and refute her proposal without hesitation just for that reason.
The reason why I didn’t accept Danae’s offer.
The reason is the same as why she infiltrated this city.
―Magical girls who succumbed to alien invasion and hypnotic brainwashing.
―Such magical girls here and there, a street that looks like an everyday scene.
―You can see scenes that only appear in novels with your own eyes and experience them realistically…
Black, whose job and hobby is to write somewhat odd novels outside, accepted Cookie’s offer to see for himself this special environment that cannot be experienced in normal life.
Things like the liberation of the Earth and the annihilation of the invaders are just secondary… To be honest, it was a good issue.
Of course, I know this is a crazy idea, but… That’s why I couldn’t tell others.
‘… Looking back, it was a fulfilling life.’
‘It was humiliating in many ways, and I suffered too much… But thanks to that, I accumulated a lot of material.’
‘A vivid experience that no one else has ever experienced… ! This is precious… !! This is the first step to later writing a novel that only I can write… !’
If her body modification and hypnosis training continue, she may no longer be able to continue her normal life or her writing activities as she hopes.
But even so, what she has experienced since infiltrating this city… Now she is overflowing with stories and ideas she wants to write.
There are so many vivid experiences that I want to write down in stories, so I feel like endorphins are pouring out of my head.
So, I don’t want to end this precious experience here and there.
Even if her body and soul fall into the abyss, if she experiences it to the end and does not use it as material… You will definitely not be satisfied for the rest of your life.
So.
“Are you okay. So let’s do our best…”
“Black, thank you… !! Thanks to you, I feel very reassured!!”
“… Ahaha, as far as reassurance goes… No, really…”
It’s okay if you don’t really feel reassured.
At Blue Sapphire’s innocent remark, which did not know Black’s inner thoughts, Black felt uncomfortable and had no choice but to avert his gaze.
And just then, the bell rang, signaling the time for today’s morning roll call.
After the morning roll call, as always, there will be a curriculum to remodel this body or to thoroughly trample and discipline oneself under hypnosis.
There are only a few days left until the deadline set by Danae, but they are still not sure if they will be able to hold out during that time.
But first… I guess I should try it.
It will endure until the end.
Whatever the reason…
