Magical Girl Ea (2)
Magical Girl Ea was sitting on a bench in front of the fountain inside the Academy again today, reading a book after her morning classes ended. With no friends at the Academy, she'd made it a habit to pass the time before lunch buried in a novel.
She lifted her head at the faint presence beside her and glanced over. There are plenty of empty seats around...? A man plopped down right next to her on the bench.
He's... insanely handsome. The guy matched her ideal type perfectly—high forehead, sharp jawline, and perfectly defined features that stirred something in her chest.
Is this the handsome guy from class earlier everyone was talking about? As she recalled the buzz about some hot guy who'd shown up at the Academy, he spoke up.
"That book's pretty good, right?"
He held up his own copy—the exact same book she was reading.
"Ah...! You know this one too? It's super fun...! Especially this part—"
Feeling an instant connection to someone reading the same book, she launched into her thoughts and impressions. She rambled on about various books and her reactions, then suddenly stopped.
Oh no, I'm talking about myself again... Ugh...
That was why she had no friends. If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't respond, and she'd just go on endlessly about whatever excited her. Before she knew it, people around her started drifting away. Even her one friend—someone she'd met through magical girl duties—was gone.
Realizing her mistake, Na-hyun cut off the book talk and apologized. "Ah... Was I talking too much about myself...? It's boring, right...? Sorry..."
Ugh, he must hate me now. Getting all excited over books...!!
"No, it's fine. I love books too."
Unlike her worries, he smiled and showed her his book again, saying his interests aligned with hers. Her heart raced a little at his gentle smile and reassurance that he found her words fun.
That's why he had the same book! He gets it!
"Phew, good..."
People around her always hated her chatter or refused to engage, but he shared her tastes and kept the conversation going.
Whoa... Is this fate...?
Her heartbeat grew louder. Convinced this meeting was destiny, she couldn't let it slip away. She pulled out her phone from her bag and offered it to him.
"Um... your phone number...?"
Hot! This looks like I'm hitting on him...!
Her impulsive words were ripe for misunderstanding, so she hurriedly corrected herself. "N-no, I mean, we just... click so well, and... so! Talking books again next time would be... f-fun...!"
Ah, you idiot...
She frantically explained there were no ulterior motives.
"Sure, here."
His slight smile as he took the phone lit up her face. With his thick, long fingers, he tapped in his number and handed it back.
"Come to think of it, we haven't introduced ourselves. Hi, I'm Kwon Yong-jin, 20 years old."
Blushing from the joy of getting his number and realizing they hadn't even exchanged names, she replied, "I-I'm 20 too... First-year at the Academy... Lee Na-hyun."
"Same age, then? Wanna drop the formalities?"
Even our ages match! This is straight out of a novel—real fate?
"S-sure, I'm okay with that..."
You idiot, stop stuttering...
"Cool. Nice to meet you. No classes today?"
"Afternoon classes start later, so I'm just reading here till then..."
"Gotcha. Eaten lunch yet?"
No way... Is he asking me to eat together?
She shook her head quickly, saying no.
"Wanna grab lunch with me?"
"Yeah, sure!"
She hurriedly stuffed her book and phone into her bag and stood.
"First time at the Academy—can I trust you to pick a spot?"
"Yep. Any favorites?"
"Anything's fine, but I like salads more."
Salads? Our tastes match there too...!
"Salad fan, huh! This place does 'em really well."

As we chatted while walking, we arrived at the salad bar. I naturally pulled out a chair for her. She glanced at me gratefully and nodded before sitting.
"Pick the menu for me."
I had no clue what anything was from the menu—Korean or foreign, salad or not. Handed it off to her.
She looked thrilled to be trusted, pointing and explaining with confidence. "This one's salmon salad, and this has chicken breast—"
Salmon sounded perfect.
"Ah, salmon sounds good."
"Right? This one, please."
The server came over at her call, and she ordered a bunch. They jotted it down on their notepad and left.
"What'd you get?"
"Um... the one with nuts."
"Nice. Come here often?"
"Pretty regular for salads... This place is the best."
She was loosening up, her stutters fading as we talked. Tension gone—time to advance slowly.
"Um... Yong-jin, what brings you to the Academy...?"
Just pondering how to seduce her when she beat me to it. Head down, fidgeting hands—she was adorable. I smiled and answered.
"Just running an errand for an acquaintance."
"So... you won't come back once it's done...?"
Her eyes flicked to me nervously. Tempted to grab her hand and bolt to a motel. Luckily, the server arrived with salads, cooling my jets.
Nice timing, server—almost blew it.
I slid her bowl closer for easy access and set a fork beside it carefully.
"Who knows?"
Her face fell at the thought of me not returning. Of course I'd keep coming—for her.
"But now you have my number. If your friend wants to hang, I'll come."
"Fr-friend...?"
"What? Aren't we friends now? Eating together, swapped numbers?"
"Y-yeah, friends!!"
She nodded like her head was motorized.
"Then... it's okay to message a lot?"
Anytime. Nothing better to do than reel her in.
"Of course. Got tons of time—I'm unemployed."
"Okay..."
"Dig in. Looks delicious."

After finishing the salads and grabbing coffee to sip at the table, she fidgeted with her phone, restless.
"Something wrong?"
"Afternoon classes are starting soon..."
She had to go soon. That's why she was squirming like a puppy needing to pee?
"Better hurry to class, then."
"Ugh... sorry."
"Why apologize? Today was fun. Have a good class and text me."
"Yeah...! Will do! Definitely texting."
She clenched her fist, waved, and dashed off—still glancing back.
"Be careful!"
I shouted. She nodded and kept running without looking back.
"Hm, pretty damn good for a first meeting."
Didn't expect to get this close so fast. She seemed lonelier than in the game.
I wanted to invade her womb ASAP, devour her eggs. According to the Administrator, magical girls' power-source ova were the ultimate delicacy. Plus, they could produce endlessly.
Imagining her spitting out eggs on command made my crotch throb.
To make it happen, she needed to fall completely for me. Obey without question. Help me take down other magical girls when I targeted them.
One by one, conquering them into submission, offering their wombs and eggs.
Excellent idea, User.
Using those girls to plunge others into despair. Starting with our Magical Girl Ea, Lee Na-hyun.
Ding.Ahem. Nearly reminisced my dark history, but the phone alert saved me.
Unlike her real-life stutters, her message was bright and bubbly.
I replied right away, pocketed my phone, and headed back to the Facility.
Time to slowly kick off the prepared plan.
