Magical Girl #5 Falls into the Trap (1)
Three more days had passed since Black Twilight—or Black for short—arrived in the 5th Factory City.
Nothing particularly noteworthy had happened in the meantime.
Liliza, who had visited her room before, had said she had some preparations to make and would call for her once they were done... but there had been no word yet.
The fairy Cookie seemed busy in her own way too; Black hadn't seen her once in those three days. Back when Black was diligently working as a magical girl, Cookie rarely showed up unless she felt she was needed.
So this time, too, Black figured she'd just wait it out, and Cookie would come find her when the time was right.
If there had been a computer, she could've holed up in her room indefinitely, but unfortunately, there wasn't one.
Personal items like smartphones had been confiscated at the checkpoint when she entered the city. Besides, the entire city was under signal jamming, so even if she had a smartphone, connecting to the internet would've been impossible.
She had received some kind of terminal device from Liliza that was called a "personal computer," but after fiddling with it, she couldn't figure out how to use it properly, and it didn't seem to have the features she wanted anyway.
In the end, unable to endure the boredom, Black Twilight started going out for walks from time to time.
It was an unusual thing for her, a total shut-in asocial recluse, but even a hardcore hikikomori couldn't just stay cooped up without a computer, smartphone, or games.
'Come to think of it...'
'This city really is a sight.'
As she wandered the streets, Black took in the surroundings with a strange mix of feelings.
The streets of this factory city—or Hypnosis City, as it was called—lived up to its name, overflowing with lewdness and revelry.
Ahh... Ah... Ah...
Kyaah... Hiiang...
As she walked, she frequently spotted women getting fucked by males.
There were plenty of women dressed in near-naked outfits, parading around seductively as if begging with their whole bodies to be fucked.
A woman crawled on all fours along the ground, naked with a collar around her neck.
Inside a shop, a woman exposed her pussy right in front of everyone, dancing vulgarly.
Some women had their breasts, asses, or pussies groped and fondled right beside them, yet they wore puzzled expressions as if completely oblivious.
There was a woman standing blankly like a doll, holding a sign that read FREE SEX. And a magical girl who proudly declared she was protecting Earth, vanquishing monsters with her "pussy of justice"... while gleefully getting violated.
Not all of them were magical girls, of course.
There were Earth women who weren't magical girls, and even women who looked like non-humans at a glance—ones with horns, cat ears, tails, and such.
They differed in background and appearance, but they all shared one thing: none seemed dissatisfied.
They accepted males' sexual harassment without hesitation, spreading their pussies right there if demanded and taking their cocks. Or they serviced them lewdly in every way possible.
Pussies getting wrecked by brutal pounding, gangbangs by multiple men, public displays of depravity—various scenes unfolded, yet no one appeared to lament it.
This was Hypnosis City.
This was the Hypnosis Factory.
Under hypnosis's dominion, females joyfully accepted getting fucked and serving males as the natural order.
Black could only watch it all.
'If I hadn't had Er and Cookie... would I have ended up like that too?'
Getting fucked by those soldiers in some alley.
Then dragged to the factory for hypnotic modification.
And in the middle of the street... shaking my ass like a whore to tempt men, pulled into an alley to fuck right there, taking their seed deep inside...
Thump...!
Imagining it sent a strange heat rising through her. Why?
...She couldn't quite figure out the reason.
"Magical girl, what're you doing out here all alone?"
Suddenly, a monster man approached her.
He closed in casually and grabbed Black's ass firmly without a second thought.
Black flinched in surprise.
"Heh heh, you're just my type, magical girl. Wonder what your nipples and pussy look like. Strip for me right now, yeah? I'll fuck you real good and make you feel amazing."
The hand that had been kneading and rubbing her ass now slowly slipped toward the inside of her bottoms.
She couldn't cause a scene here. That would interfere with Cookie's plan.
But she couldn't just let this happen either.
With a sigh, Black channeled her magic and activated her specialty spell.
"Huh? Where'd she go?"
The monster groped at empty air in confusion, the one who'd been touching Black's body moments ago.
The magical girl who had definitely been there was gone. She was right here, but he couldn't grasp her.
...In reality, she had just gone invisible, layering an illusion close to hypnosis that prevented him from sensing her presence or touch.
That alone was enough; the man failed to perceive Black and wandered off.
"...Being out on streets like this leads to stuff like that, huh."
Still invisible, Black slipped into a nearby deserted alley.
This really was a city where sexual harassment was everyday life. Women's rights didn't exist; everyone was just slaves to sate male lust...
Of course wandering around defenseless and alone would invite this. And Black might not even realize it, but from a male perspective, her body was plenty alluring...
If she'd had a man with her, he might've been seen as her owner and left alone, but Black had no way of knowing that. Even if she did, it wouldn't help.
"Can't stay out long... Maybe find a dessert shop and head back."
Even as she said it, Black's cheeks were slightly flushed.
She hadn't noticed.
Well... everyone... looks like they're having fun...
Lots of scenes I could use as material... yeah... for my novel later... yeah...
With thoughts like that, she proceeded down the street, now scanning her surroundings more carefully than before...
The next day, contact finally came from Liliza.
The message came through the terminal device Liliza had given her.
She waited until the appointed time, then boarded the car as instructed and headed to the factory.
This would be the first time Black laid eyes on the Hypnosis Factory.

Upon arriving at the "factory," she received that guidance from the humanoid droids at the counter.
With handcuffs and a blindfold secured, Black was led by the droids to Liliza's Lab.
"Hey. Slept well?"
Liliza greeted her with an oddly refreshed expression.
The Liliza she'd met before had seemed more weary and detached.
"I called you today because a little problem cropped up."
"A... problem?"
Black asked, startled. But Liliza waved it off with a laugh, saying it was nothing serious and to relax.
"Not a big deal. But we should play it a bit careful."
Liliza explained the situation concisely.
The factory was tightening security on the magical girls inside the city, rigorously checking their hypnosis states.
Whether the hypnosis program was properly implanted, if it was functioning correctly, if there were any anomalies in their behavior, and so on...
"I-is that so? That's dangerous. If I get that kind of inspection... Wait, but I don't even have a hypnosis program implanted..."
"Exactly. That's why it's risky. A simple scan would expose you."
Black stiffened, looking scared.
And Liliza smiled as she continued.
"Don't worry. That's why I called you here—to fix that. Er already came by this morning and got it done."
"She... did?"
Hearing that Er had already taken care of it eased Black's mind a bit.
"Wonder why. Er didn't have any issues... but I just felt like she absolutely needed it... Why...?"
Liliza muttered something under her breath, too quietly to make out.
Her explanation continued.
To dodge any surprise inspections, they'd implant a fake program in Black.
It wasn't the real one from the factory, so no risk of actual hypnosis—just for show.
And in the worst case, it would help her act the part.
More or less like that.
'Well, if that's all... no big deal.'
'Glad we have someone like her on our side. Feels reassuring.'
Reassured, Black consented.
And Liliza, with a kind smile unlike before, guided Black into the inner lab-cum-operating room.
