Tokyo, there are too many defeated magical girls.

Lin Chun was in a much better mood.

In reality, he wasn't jealous at all; he was just pretending to see Magic Rose's adorable reactions.

As it turned out, it was just as good as I expected; even my appetite increased significantly.

In addition, there was quite a commotion tonight.

After causing a ruckus at the concert and then returning to his upscale apartment, he was indeed in need of a late-night snack after all that work.

The spaghetti bolognese served by Magic Rose was piping hot and arrived just in time.

"Let's dig in!"

He took the plate, placed it on a nearby table, sat down, and began to enjoy his meal.

—Eating a late-night snack made by my roommate at 10 pm is truly one of life's greatest pleasures.

What's more, the pasta, which was made with heartfelt care, was indeed exceptionally delicious, instantly capturing his taste buds.

Each piece is accompanied by a perfect amount of meat sauce, bringing the best salty and sweet flavor as you chew.

"Rose Jam, you are truly a good wife, judging solely from your culinary skills."

"You're being too kind..."

Upon receiving Lin Chun's praise, Magic Rose appeared quite shy, but she was still very happy inside.

There was no one else in the bedroom besides them.

Therefore, she had no need to hide her true identity.

With a burst of dazzling white light fading away, the magical girl's transformation state was dispelled.

The princess-style roses have disappeared, replaced by a cute cherry blossom girl who is 1.58 meters tall.

She sat on her soft bed, gazing affectionately at Lin Chun as he ate.

44. The temperature has risen.

"Um, Master... please don't be angry..."

"Oh?"

"Tonight is also the first time I've met my idol, so I got a little too excited..."

Rinko Mizuki, her slender fingers twirling the ends of her hair, explained somewhat shyly:

“When my father ran away and my mother was sick, it was Hatano’s songs and smiles that encouraged me to persevere.”

She paused here, as if making a decision, before finally speaking:

But the one who truly saved me was you!

“It was because you gave me 16 million yen that I was able to make up for my mother’s hospitalization and caregiver fees.”

"It was also your plan that freed me from the Yamamoto Group's debt collection efforts. I am truly grateful!!!"

Like most Japanese people, she gets extremely emotional when it comes to expressing gratitude.

Not only did the sound get louder, but they also stood up straight.

At first, I wanted to bow deeply at a 90-degree angle, but then I felt that a dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling gesture) would be more appropriate.

But a second later, I realized that no matter what posture I adopted, I couldn't express my sincere gratitude.

Unless concrete action is taken.

"If you want to repay me, I can't... you know..."

She lowered her head shyly, interlacing her fingers and placing them on her lower abdomen.

At the same time, she put her legs together in front of the bed in an attempt to hide her nervousness.

The righteous [Magical Girl Rose] must not be desecrated.

But if she turns back into Rinko Mizushiro, there might not be any problem.

She seemed fully prepared to repay the other party...

However, Lin Chun simply put down his fork without even turning his head to look at it.

"Rinko, do you really think I'm so worthy of repayment?"

"Of course! Sixteen million yen has already covered the medical and nursing care costs!"

"But your mother's cancer was not cured."

"This……"

"If the illness can't be cured, all that money will only prolong your suffering—perhaps I shouldn't say this, but it's the truth, I'm sorry."

After Lin Chun finished speaking, he picked up his fork and continued eating.

The reason I'm saying all this is actually to pave the way for the surprise that's about to arrive.

—With her own help, the little succubus won the bet with the dark elf and will have twenty-four hours to herself.

The dark elf female cadre, Elena, is the head of the [Transformation Department], possessing technology far surpassing modern medical techniques.

If she were to target Rinko Mizushiro's mother, cancer would be a minor problem that could be easily cured.

When the time comes, by seizing this favor, I will be able to firmly control Rinko Mizushiro and the magical rose she transforms into.

And with this child's unwavering and absolute loyalty—

Even if the "brainwashing department" scam is exposed, I will have the resources to take a gamble.

"Huhuhu~"

Feeling incredibly proud of his strategy, Lin Chun finished off the last few strands of pasta.

He chewed with gusto, humming smugly as he did so.

They've really gone too far with their pride.

So much so that they didn't even notice that something was very unusually quiet behind them.

"I've finished my noodles, thank you for the treat, Rinko-chan... eh?"

Having finished all the spaghetti bolognese, Lin Chun stood up contentedly, ready to go back to his bedroom to sleep.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he saw the scene that caused his heart to stop.

—Crystal clear tears slid down the girl's cheeks.

Rinko Mizuki was practically crying her eyes out.

Faced with a tragedy that one is powerless to change, the only way to escape for a while is to numb oneself with alcohol.

This is also why many people drink alcohol.

Even the original form of [Magical Girl Rose] is no exception.

He picked up the half-full bottle of red wine and, without thinking, gulped it down straight from the bottle.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Chun's hair stood on end.

It was only then that I suddenly realized that I had been focusing all my attention on the pretty idol.

The little succubus Lillian only dispelled the magical effects on her.

As for the ingredients applied to the welcome drink and vegetable sticks, they are still in effect.

Once Rinko Mizushiro's transformation ends, she's just an ordinary Japanese girl with no magic resistance.

"Rinko, you can't drink anymore!"

"What does it matter?! I'll only take a sip."

"No, drinking this will cause a major disaster!"

"Huh? It's just a sip of wine, what big deal could it be!"

Even though she had already deactivated her magical girl transformation, Rinko Mizushiro's resistance was still surprisingly strong.

Lin Chun and I were arguing over a glass of red wine by the bedside, and I gradually gained the upper hand.

"You don't want to do those forced pleasurable things! Then don't stop me from drinking, honestly!"

She suddenly unleashed an astonishing burst of strength and successfully snatched the red wine.

However, they overtook it.

However, he fell onto the bed, with the bottle opening pointing directly at his body.

The vibrant red liquid, under the influence of gravity, all flowed down at once.

The girl's fair and delicate skin was instantly tinged with a light rose-like hue.

It was damp and emitted a rather intoxicating aroma of alcohol.

It's worth mentioning that the magic from the little succubus executive can take effect even when it touches the surface of the body.
