Magical Girl Mana
In a space made of countless writhing tentacles, I found myself bound by them.
"What— what are you going to do to me...!! Let go! I said let go of me!"
My arms and my legs were all pinned fast.
Right above my head hung a hole that looked ready to spew out some kind of gas. The moment I noticed it, pink vapor came whooshing out at me.
"Hah...?"
Strength drained right out of me. I had to resist — I knew I had to — but my body simply wouldn't obey. My head filled up with question marks. This feeling....
How mortifying it is to admit, but it felt like the feeling right before I touch myself, all alone. I wanted to reach down and touch myself that very second. But I was in the middle of a battle... wasn't I...?
A new tentacle wriggled out of the ceiling and swayed there, moving with an eerie slowness, almost as if it were observing me. Then it settled onto my chest and began slathering some strange liquid across it, rubbing and rubbing.
- Ggyuu...! The costume enchantment—!
In the next instant, the part of my outfit covering my chest came undone, and my breasts popped free with a bounce.
"Hieeek!? W-wait a—!"
Hazy as my mind had become, surely it shouldn't go this far! I had never once heard of a tentacle that could strip a magical girl's power away in a single stroke!!
That tentacle slithered slickly over me, baring my nipples and kneading my breasts every which way. It coiled around them and squeezed; it drifted across them like a tickling feather.
I should have been disgusted, but my head had gone soft and fuzzy, and the tentacle's vile secretions were making my chest even more sensitive than before.
"Mmh..., ah...♡"
Before I could stop myself, a moan slipped out.
"Let— let go of me already...!"
The tentacle released my chest. Thank goodness. It seemed to have understood me. It drew back up, and then — began drifting down toward my lower belly. Huh?
With a light tap against my stomach, it unfastened my skirt — my magical girl outfit — and my pale white skin lay bare, my most private place exposed...!
"Don't look, I said don't look...!"
Psshhh─
The pink gas came again, drifting straight into my nose....
My mind was turning pink at the edges. All I wanted was to melt, to let my whole body dissolve. The Power of the Heart was supposed to... protect me... that's what Ggyu said... right...? Something's wrong....
The tentacles binding my legs pulled them apart. It stared, unblinking, at the place between them. To want to look at it that badly..., isn't that, kind of, cute? Ehehe, hehe....
The tentacle gazed quietly at my lower belly for a long moment — then gathered its strength. Light collected at its very tip, and it fired it straight at my stomach─
"Huoh...!?"
In that instant, my mind nearly flew out of my skull.
The heat slamming into my lower belly, the tickling shudder passing straight through my womb, the pleasure blooming deep inside and racing up my spine. Before I knew it, I was clenching down hard between my legs.
"HiiNG?! Hah♡ Ah♡ No... I can't...."
I thrashed against my restraints, and the gas came again — pssshh—....
"He, hehe, it feels, so good...♡"
It felt like my heart was being stripped naked.
Do you know that feeling — when the instincts a person is supposed to keep hidden smash through the filter inside you and come clawing their way out? The feeling of looking at the vibrations pulsing in your belly and wanting, just for a moment, to say you like them?
The shame drains away, and all that's left is craving.
"Ah. Aah...♡"
Even as a heart shape took form on my lower belly, even as every surviving scrap of alertness screamed that I couldn't let it finish, my body refused to resist. It feels good. It feels too good. It feels like I'll trade away my whole future for it.
No. Do it. No — more. Contradictory thoughts layered over each other, ringing and ringing.
...I am a magical girl. I can't just lie here and take this.
"Aah, aaahn...♡ Ggyu...! Let's use that thing...!"
- Ggyuu!
I had dropped my wand. Ggyu snatched the initiative and went tearing through the air. I poured every last drop of the mana stored inside me into Ggyu with everything I had.
If that mark finished taking shape, something terrible would happen. Proof that I was running out of time...!
"I have to...! Gather every ounce of my mind, and—!"
I'd blast the light I'd gathered all at once and tear my way out...! You won't get your way with me!
"Huh?"
When I forced my eyes wide open with that thought, another tentacle was there, right in front of my face. A tentacle bearing an enormous eye.
The longer I stared into that rainbow-shimmering iris, the deeper I fell into it....
- Keep looking at me.
I had to look. I absolutely, positively had to look.
- Don't resist, now.
Ah, no. I was gathering mana, my mind was—
- You must not resist.
....
- It's for your own good.
...I must not, resist.
- Yes. Accept the pleasure.
Pleasure...?
- Yes. This feels good.
I mustn't resist. I mustn't gather mana, either....
- Ggyuu!? What on earth is going on, ggyuu! Snap out of it, ggyuu!
I'm sorry. I mustn't resist. But why can't I...? Why....
Ngh, my head won't work. Focus, Mana.... I have to give my mana to Ggyu....
And then, a surge of blinding pleasure washed up from my lower belly.
"Mmh, oh.... Haaahng...♡"
My focus slipped away. My eyes trembled without my meaning them to. The heart crest seemed to be complete. It felt impossibly, perfectly good.
A pleasure I could never once feel on my own came pouring into my brain.
"Hah, ah. Ngh, uun.... Hah... oh... oh...♡"
It feels good.
Every question mark floating in my head was turning, one by one, into little hearts. Dyed through with pink, all I wanted anymore was to feel more.
Nothing had even been put inside me — nothing at all — and yet it felt so good... I couldn't hold myself together.
- Look into my eyes.
I had to look.
- From this moment on, you will never be able to forget this pleasure.
I can't forget. I must never, ever forget this feeling. I have to carve it into my memory. When I touch myself at night, I have to do it while remembering this sensation....
- Never let go of your wand. Not even for an instant.
That's right. I can't lose my wand.
- Come here. Every single night.
That's right. I have to come. Even if only to feel this wonderful pleasure, I have to come to this place every night.
- You will not hear your wand's voice anymore.
Ggyu's voice was drifting farther and farther away. I couldn't hear it anymore.
- And last of all — forget all of this.
That instant, a blinding light burst from the great eye.
Yes! I have to forget everything! Forget. Forget, forget. Forget, forgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforgetforget──

"...Hah."
My eyes opened on their own.
Morning light streamed through the window to greet me. The birds outside were obnoxiously loud.
A heavy, dead weariness hung over my whole body. I felt like I'd had a strange dream, but I couldn't remember a single thing about it. All I could think, hazily, was that something had felt really, really good.
"Ggyu? You there?"
The winged gem fluttered over to me, but strangely, said nothing at all. Ggyu waking me up every morning was our routine — at this rate I'd have been late.
"...Hm. That's weird."
I decided to get up and wash first, but the moment I tried to rise, I felt something sticky down below.
When I peeled back the covers, there lay the blanket and the sheets, soaked through beyond all belief.
And so, with a strangled hiiyaaak, I greeted the worst morning of my entire life.
"Did something happen?"
"No, nothing...."
My friend Chaerin asked when she saw my face, but I couldn't answer. What on earth would she think of me if I told her I'd soaked my bed at my age?
"Your face looks a little red, too?"
"Ah, ahaha."
"You're really okay, right?"
"I have to be. 'Nothing's wrong, but please go to the hospital and tell them you're sick~' — yeah, right, like the professor would just sign off on that."
"Fair point...?"
Chatting with my friend on the way to the main building, I spotted someone up ahead.
"Senior Seol!"
"Hm? Ahaha~ Mana, junior! What's this? Running into you here of all places?"
This was Senior Seol — one of the twins who attends the same university as me. My senior in the magical girl world, too.
"What's this, what's this — is that your friend beside you?"
"Ah, yes. This is Yoo Chaerin."
"Nice to meet you — I'm Seol. Let's get along well from now on, okay?"
Senior Seol flashed a mischievous little grin and gave my arm a couple of playful taps.
"I've got somewhere to be — someone to meet. See you later!"
"Okay! See you, Senior!"
Chaerin and I waved her off.
"Mana, your senior seems really outgoing."
"Right? I think so too. I'm not sure if I'd call her warm and cuddly, or, hmm... kind of a tomboy."
But why would she be here at this hour? I wondered — and then, with my magical girl's eyes, I saw it: traces of mana trailing behind Senior Seol.
Dark violet mana. It looked like she'd come straight from a fight. And that fight, it seemed, had happened right around here.
"Mana, let's hurry too. Back row of the lecture hall — that's the only comfortable way to live."
"Deal!"
We raced up to the main building together.
After that, ordinary daily life carried on. Listening to lectures, squeezing through crowded corridors, dropping by the club room now and then to say hello to friends.
The cafeteria food was surprisingly tasty, so Chaerin and I came trotting over hand in hand to eat — and there, wouldn't you know it, were the twins, Senior Seol and Senior Hong, eating their lunch too.
Just as I was about to go greet them, the two of them came over to us first and invited us to eat together. What a relief that was.
The afternoon was ordinary too. The same daily routine.
Studying, small talk about how the day was going, the looming barrage of assignments coming our way.... Haah. Nobody understands how exhausting it is.
Although — that's a little strange, isn't it? Normally Ggyu calls me out once or twice a day for magical girl duty, but not once today.
Today felt oddly peaceful. And thanks to that, I got to rest like this.
"I'm home~!"
At home, a cozy dinner with Mom and Dad. After that, entirely my own free time!
...Except I have a mountain of homework, so, hehe.
Quiz prep to do on top of it. I really am just too busy.
...And then, night came.
I lay down in bed to sleep, just like always.
...But down there was so, so itchy. I wanted to touch it. I just knew it would feel good if I did.
"Mm...."
Before I knew it, I was carefully, carefully rubbing the little bump over my panties. A hot sigh spilled out of me.
'...Should I. Should I, really.'
Nipple play. It's embarrassing to admit, but it's how I relieve stress.
"Haaah...♡"
For a while I move my fingers in slow circles around my areola, and once my breath has gone hot and ragged, I give the tip a light little tap. A dizzying sensation rolls through me, and my lower belly turns warm.
A little at a time. Tap. Tap. Tap.
"Mmh... mm...♡"
My body begins to answer.
From there, I brush it — flick it — teasing the tip with the lightest touches. Every stroke sends a tingle-ache radiating out. But if I keep at it too long the feeling dulls, so I circle back to the areola and let it recover, bit by bit.
And then, I let myself imagine.
A certain handsome gentleman has broken into my room, some moment ago.
He tells me he's wanted me for so long. He keeps me from moving. He forces my legs wide, wide apart, pins them down with his own, and then — touches nothing but my nipples. Tap. Tap.
He whispers into my ear that I'm filthy, that a girl who feels this much from her nipples alone has to be broken somehow — and still, he doesn't touch me below at all.
Fingers circling, circling. Tapping my nipples.
"U... ah...."
And as I keep tapping, the place between my legs — already made to feel so good by my own hand — twitches, clenching tight around the imaginary cock inside it, and I come. Just, lightly.
"Mmh...! Hah, hnn...♡ Haa, hah. Haa...."
Right after, this thought always comes to me.
"...That really is, humiliating."
No matter how you look at it, right? You call yourself a magical girl, getting off to a fantasy about some creepy old man playing with your nipples? How does that make any sense? — that's what I think, every time.
But it never lasts long. Because I haven't put anything inside me yet.
To properly melt the stress away, sooner or later you have to go deep. So I check my fingernails, decide this length will do, and I'm just about to slide them in —
Then.
My whole body jolts. Hard.
My lower belly clenches, clenches again. Everything goes white before my eyes, and dizziness sweeps over me.
My heart is pounding. As if I've forgotten something. Even fear comes rushing in. What is it? What did I forget?
And then I remember.
I have to go to that alley.
No other reason is needed. I simply have to go. This womb of mine is telling me so.
Picking up Ggyu, who offers not a single word, transforming amid a crisp, sparkling chime — soaring through the night sky in a magical girl outfit flawless from every angle — to the place I had no choice but to return to.
There, the tentacles were waiting... and, as though they had been waiting for me all along, they reached out — slow, unhurried — toward me.
"Ah...♡"
And I — a moan thick with anticipation slipping past my lips before I could stop it — was drawn in, and swallowed whole, by the tentacles.
