Chapter Title: Corrupting the Magical Girl (24)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A day, two days, then a full week passed... No matter how long they waited, Sera's stream never went live, and naturally, all the communities heated up again.
Everyone was dying to know what the hell had happened to Saint Rose.
Rumors spread like wildfire: she'd already been rescued; she'd been gangbanged into a sex slave; she'd ditched her friend and bailed; she was getting passed around nonstop and couldn't stream. People started insisting their theories were right, brawling in the comments.
Then came news that turned the already scorching hot pan into an inferno—the first was an article about the Association's rescue attempt... and its failure.
They tried now? And failed? Public outrage was inevitable, and the Association got hammered by hate comments.
Rational folks who skipped the streams joined the diehards in roasting the Association, which canceled all official events and went radio silent to dodge the spotlight.
But that only pissed people off more, and the Association's rep hit rock bottom, day by day.
But there was rock bottom below rock bottom... When the second bombshell hit, the Association took a hit so bad it could barely function.
The disappearance of S-Rank magical girl Rapier was that shocking.
With Saint Rose disappointing everyone, sane fans switched to cheering Rapier—and a month in, she'd become the nation's sweetheart.
Now she'd been snatched by that villain? No way the public stayed quiet.
Communities started mocking Rapier as "the second Saint Rose," while her heartbroken fans vented at the Association.
So yeah, the Association was paralyzed. Obviously.
...But shockingly, the bombshells didn't end there.
"Saint Rose has become a villain." This news buried the previous two in sheer chaos. A magical girl turning villain? Unprecedented. People freaked out—it was the last thing anyone expected.
No one imagined meeting Rose like this. They denied reality: optical illusion, lookalike, villain trick—anything to cope.
But Rose kept showing up, now with a presumed Aqua Marine villain in tow. People had to face it: Saint Rose was a villain. Undeniable fact.
"Ahh... Sorry... Ahhh! Sorry, sob, huaaaah! It's... because of me... Ah, ahh..."
And so, Siwoo could only sink into despair.
Siwoo had checked the USB video and turned into a wreck... But something pulled him back—a random community post.
The OP posted it as a joke, but "deepfake" hit Siwoo hard. Snapping to, he rewatched the video.
'It's... different... That's not Sera...'
'Here too, there... Subtle differences. No way it's real...?'
He realized he'd been tricked by the villain.
'Ahh, sorry... Sera, ahh! I... I betrayed you...'
Guilt over betraying the Sera who'd trusted him, self-loathing for abandoning her—Siwoo broke.
But Sera hurt most, so he overcame it, resolved to change. No more wasting time like a vegetable now that he knew. He had to act for her.
But... tragically too late. By the time Siwoo pulled himself together, Sera was already a villain.
"Ahh... Sorry... Ahhh! Sorry, sob, huaaaah! It's... because of me... Ah, ahh..."
So of course Siwoo despaired again. This never would've happened if he hadn't abandoned her.
Yet Siwoo didn't give up. He rose from despair once more. Quitting now meant losing her forever. Sera was the most just kid he knew... A sincere apology could turn her heart. Everything would go back to normal.
So Siwoo hunted villain Sera, desperate to meet her.
But he never did... Meanwhile, communities flooded with a familiar link: "Ex-Saint Rose finally gets railed video.link"
Siwoo knew he shouldn't click. But mesmerized, he did. A new window opened—not a stream, but a video.
There was Sera, beaming—the one Siwoo yearned to see.
-Shwoooong
-Flash!
Hauu... Hn
Ah, ahh...
Aaahhhhng!
