Tokyo, there are too many defeated magical girls.

The pinkish-white boat stockings that covered her exquisite figure were slightly damp and steamed under the warm yellow light of the izakaya.

Even though I can't smell my own scent...

But looking directly at the little succubus, who seemed hesitant to speak, she still seemed a bit embarrassed.

—In order to awaken its master's consciousness, it had no choice but to go all out.

With a blush on her cheeks, she bent down and took off her two cute, steaming boat socks, one on each side.

They were overlapped and handed to Lillian on the other end.

The two exchanged glances, nodded, and reached an agreement in silence.

Immediately afterwards, the little succubus moved closer to Lin Chun.

Just like using smelling salts on athletes, the effect is immediate and remarkable.

"!!!"

Lin Chun's unfocused pupils suddenly became focused.

"Cough cough... It really has a strong and powerful taste."

Having regained consciousness, he sat up and casually took the pair of boat socks.

I clenched it tightly in my palm, feeling the lingering warmth and the all-too-familiar scent of roses.

Both mental and physical health gradually stabilized.

Finally, he looked up and met the gaze of Rinko Mizushiro, who was sitting at the counter.

"Owner……"

The Japanese girl, with her bare, white feet and flushed face, wanted her socks back.

But seeing the other person's nonchalant expression as they stuffed them into their pockets...

A mixture of shame and joy welled up inside me, almost spilling over, so I quickly covered it up with something else.

"Eh! Eh?! Eh?!"

The little succubus executive, who had been watching from the sidelines, was grabbed by the back of her neck and forcefully slammed against the counter.

Rinko Mizushiro said indignantly:

"Master, it's all this guy's fault! He deliberately didn't mention the side effects of the Silver Dream Magic, which led to your danger!"

As she spoke, she raised her right hand high in front of the snow-white, tender skin that offered no resistance.

"If you give the order, I guarantee I'll slap you hard enough to open the flower!"

"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?!"

In the blink of an eye, she became a lamb to the slaughter. The little succubus on the counter instinctively wanted to run away.

But she was just too weak.

Even without transforming, Mizushiro Rinko's strength was no match for hers.

Twisting around a few times did nothing but wet the countertop.

"I... I just forgot to mention it... I really didn't mean to!"

Lillian quickly turned her head, looking at Lin Chun with teary eyes, wanting to defend herself.

But for some reason, the curves of his back trembled with excitement, as if he couldn't wait to be punished.

A second later, he was rescued by Lin Chun and escaped without suffering any physical pain.

The little succubus was actually a little unhappy.

On the other side, Rinko Mizushiro also looked very puzzled.

"Owner?!"

"Thanks to this child's magic, I was able to test it in my dream, otherwise it would have been terrible."

Lin Chun held the warm little succubus in his arms, lowered his head, and breathed in her milky scent.

Everything that happened in the dream is still vivid in my memory.

—The Fallen Blood Cherry doesn't care at all about being deceived; she only wants to be pampered by Mr. Chunnan's gentleness for a lifetime.

This turned into the worst kind of yandere obsession.

Therefore, if one were to remove their mask and reveal their identity in reality...

The consequence was that their limbs were cut off, they were thrown into a basement, and imprisoned forever.

Although he could receive meticulous care from the Fallen Blood Cherry 24 hours a day, he no longer had any freedom.

"Ugh……"

Lin Chun sighed deeply, feeling a headache coming on.

Although one could abandon the Fallen Blood Cherry and go directly to Switzerland, doing so would leave a lingering emotional scar for the rest of one's life.

But if we insist on saving it, who knows what price we might have to pay.

It could be that it itself was cut off, or perhaps it was a rose or a chrysanthemum that was tragically cut off...

Neither outcome is acceptable.

Outside the izakaya, the Tokyo night rain continued to fall softly, making Lin Chun feel increasingly unsettled.

"boss?"

The little succubus Lillian approached with great concern, looking at Lin Chun's worried face.

Now, she's willing to do anything to make the other person happy.

However, her delicate hands, which were already prepared, were instead stuffed into the TV remote control.

"Just put on some random shows to pass the time."

"Ah... okay, alright..."

The little succubus was a little confused, but she still obediently pressed the power button.

The old-fashioned television set, meant to keep customers entertained, soon produced images and sound, but Lin Chun didn't turn to look.

He was still pondering how to resolve the troublesome issue of the Fallen Blood Cherry.

"Master, um... shall I make you some midnight snack?"

Rinko Mizushiro suggested cautiously.

After receiving a nod of approval, they immediately got to work.

On this cold, rainy autumn night, serving a bowl of steaming hot ramen would surely make the host happy.

But as soon as she tied on the apron, she felt an unusually intense gaze.

"Eh?"

She was a little surprised.

She lightly bit her lower lip, and her body immediately prepared itself from head to toe, wanting to give the other person a hospitality far better than any dish.

But when I turned around, I realized I was overthinking it.

The owner's gaze wasn't fixed on her, but rather on the television set placed directly above her.

— A late-night news program.

Now, the same thing is being broadcast repeatedly.

Blue Crystal and Emerald, magical girls from the previous era, decide to join forces and make a comeback to protect Tokyo's safety.

In order to restore public confidence, a press conference will be held tomorrow.

With the full support of Tokyo and even the entire country of Japan, the event was quite a grand affair.

"Ah... the seniors are making a comeback, and one troublesome thing after another..."

Even though she herself hadn't truly fallen, Magic Rose's stance had completely shifted to that of the villainous organization.

She looked up at the two magical girls, one in blue and one in green, in the news footage, and sighed with some distress.

But Lin Chun didn't think that way.

On the contrary, his eyes lit up.

"No, no, no, that would be too much trouble—we'll just outsource the task of dealing with Blood Cherry to them."

"Outsourcing?"

"Hmm, no need to cook yet, there's still a long night ahead of us~"

Having devised a plan to deal with Blood Cherry, Lin Chun felt as cheerful as if the clouds had parted and the sun had shone through.

Adding to that, the near-death experience just now aroused an insatiable instinct to perpetuate the genes.

He spread his arms wide.

He pulled Rinko Mizushiro and Lillian, two very different yet equally adorable women, into his arms.
