The Magical Girl Falls into a Trap (1)

My knees hurt. My arms feel sore too. Honestly, it's just in my head. Ever since becoming a magical girl, I can smash walls with a single punch and split the ground. Something this minor doesn't actually hurt. But still... my heart aches.

“I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry~ Ah!”

“Ah, geez, unni....”

“Haha! That lowered head suits you perfectly, you idiot! Know your place and grind that forehead even harder into the floor, you moron Ruby-freak!”

I kept slamming my forehead against the floor, repeating my apologies without end. The floor couldn't withstand my forehead attacks and cracked with a sharp sound, but that didn't stop my apologies. A simple prostration wasn't enough, so I twisted my limbs into a bizarre knot, punishing myself in the "Ring of Wisdom" pose. Blue watched and muttered in awe, “So the human body can twist like that....”

Anyway. We finally escaped the tentacles, and the moment I performed Costume Change, the tentacles that had been violating us vanished without a trace. Even the eggs we had laid disappeared along with the tentacle outfits. After pulling myself together a bit, I was now offering this grand apology, just as you see. It made sense—everything was my fault.

After being captured by tentacles and suffering all sorts of humiliation, I even experienced laying eggs, something no one in reality has ever gone through. Well, honestly, it wasn't really my fault but that worthless costume's fault, and further still, Cookie's fault for making me wear such a thing, and even further, the Magic World's fault for creating that kind of costume in the first place... but none of that could serve as an excuse.

Aigoo, my fate.

“Uwaaaah I never thought joining because of that vulgar tentacle outfit would lead to this it was almost like being controlled and I ended up becoming a mana-sucking mop or something but either way I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry aaaaaah!”

“Oh come on! I told you it's really fine now! Lift your head already, unni!”

“Uwaaaah Blue-nim Alpha-nim worrying about trash like me aigoo this lowly trash might as well just bite my tongue and die right here and now――”

“Stop! Unni! Seriously!”

Blue Sapphire sighed in exasperation and helped me up. Uuuugh... I was so sorry I couldn't even look her in the face....

“I'm the one who received help, after all. So it's fine, unni.”

“Huu... Blue is a goddess... I love you....”

“I still haven't forgiven you, though?”

“Uuu... Alpha is a demon... you bad girl... Alpaca....”

“Your attitude toward me is really starting to piss me off.”

After repeatedly apologizing to the glaring Alpha, we decided to resume exploring Mera Studio.

“By the way, that costume looks pretty cool. Are you a samurai?”

“Something like that.”

The outfit changed by Costume Change was a martial uniform in red and blue that reminded me of historical dramas. A decorative sword hung at the waist, giving it an authentic feel. It was like renting a costume from a tourist spot like Gyeongbokgung Palace. Compared to the tentacle outfit from earlier, this was relatively normal. The only thing that bothered me was that, despite being a martial uniform, it had a short skirt instead of pants.

Costume: Nameless Swordsman Costume

Checking the status window, that was the impression it gave. The traits and skills didn't show anything strange either. I figured it should be safe.

Resuming the exploration like this was fine for now, but....

“I'm a bit tired....”

“Agreed.”

Alpha agreed with me. As magical girls, physical fatigue washed away quickly, but mental exhaustion remained. On top of that, we'd been attacked by weirdos and tentacles... we really needed some time to regroup.

If we had to leave Mera Studio to rest, Yura was still here, which felt awkward. Just as I was thinking that, Blue Sapphire spoke up.

“Ah, in that case, it's almost quitting time, so the surveillance should loosen up. If you look around, there are actually quite a few places you can use to rest here.”

Having been here longer, she seemed to have explored various spots and roughly grasped the layout.

“Anyway, just trust me! I'll take you to the perfect rest spot I've marked! Think of it like a rest point in a game—GOGOGO!”

She strode ahead confidently, but honestly, I only felt anxiety....

“They left, huh~....”

The hallway was empty after the three magical girls departed. From the empty air, someone appeared with a soft shrrk. They held an expensive, high-end camera. Their body was nothing but a pitch-black silhouette, like a character not yet introduced in the story.

“Whoa, I was worried they'd notice me. I'm not a power type—if they'd surrounded me, it would've been a total disaster~.”

Just moments ago, their heart had been pounding so hard from tension they couldn't control it. Magical girls really were terrifying beyond imagination. They had even frozen the tentacles and blown everything away with punches....

‘Still....’

It wasn't a bad outcome, so the risk had been worth it. The reward matched the return.

In their hand was one of the eggs the magical girls had laid earlier, which they'd secretly hidden while no one was paying attention. The rest of the eggs were all stored in a pouch they'd hidden. This weirdo, an executive of Mera Studio known as the "General Camera Director," smirked at the egg in their other hand. Only the smiling mouth shape was visible on their silhouetted face, so they were probably grinning.

“Left behind something interesting~ Wonder if I can put it to good use somewhere~.”

Of course, there was no telling when it would hatch, and using it here might swallow the entire building. Better to send it to a Mekrak research facility for now. Humming a tune with a sinister smile, they walked away.

“Healthy ero comes from a healthy meal! Order as much as you want, actresses!”

Following Blue Sapphire's guidance, we arrived at what seemed to be a cafeteria or rest area. It was a rest lounge reserved for actresses, apparently a place for those exhausted from filming.

......Wait, isn't this weird? They kidnap us, force us into bizarre ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠shoots, yet provide solid welfare? That was genuinely strange. Even a quick look around showed everything was state-of-the-art, from chairs to cushions to interior design—all high-end. It was obvious how much they valued the actresses. It was enough to make you wonder if this wasn't actually a kidnapping-forced actress gig, but just a studio with that kind of concept.

Come to think of it, the hideout in the Gallery last time had good welfare too. The food was delicious, everyone left exactly on time, and the treatment felt much better than a regular company. What was this, Earthlings? Try a little harder, Earthlings. At this rate, the Mekrak guys would completely steal your position, Earthlings. I felt like cheering them on.

“I'll have the Frank sausage set meal.”

“I'll take the stamina-packed eel rice bowl! And the fried set too!”

“Premium steak and Caesar salad. Add corn soup.”

“Got it, three mapo tofu set meals for everyone....”

“““No!!!”””

“It's tasty and nutritious though... mapo tofu....”

The chef (wearing a visor, so probably a weirdo) spoke dejectedly and headed into the kitchen. Less than ten minutes later, the ordered food arrived. It came out. I'd thought it was retort food, but it turned out to be instant cooking using Mekrak technology. What the heck, that's amazing. The plump, glistening brown Frank sausages, the eel rice bowl that looked like it would boost stamina just by looking at it, the premium steak sizzling on a stone plate—every dish looked like a masterpiece at first glance. It was moving.

The only slight problem was that every single dish was topped with mapo tofu.

“““What the hell is this!!!”””

“My cooking always comes with mapo tofu topping. No exceptions.”

“Are you kidding?! Make it again!”

“Waste ingredients? Who do you think you are, some queen? If you eat every last grain of rice, piece of meat, and cube of tofu without leaving anything, I'll make you something new. But if you don't finish it, no new food! I'll circulate your face photos around the lounge and kitchen so no one serves ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠you anything new!”

Was that a threat...?! This trashy mapo tofu fanatic!

“M-Mapo... m-my eel rice bowl... ugh....”

Blue Sapphire looked devastated, mouth agape. She'd clearly had high expectations.

“...That's novel.”

Alpha, true to her masculine side, was eating the mapo tofu and steak together without a care.

“Well, what'll it be, ladies? If you choose to starve pathetically, I won't stop you.”

“Don't talk so seriously in this situation....”

“What's the problem? Isn't mapo tofu the best? The ultimate food? That spicy yet rich flavor always opens the stomach and offers a deep taste you never tire of, right? Are you saying you have complaints about such mapo tofu, youngsters! Should I put on a human dissection show right here?!”

What on earth had happened to make him so passionate about mapo tofu?

“My mapo tofu has special effects, so you won't regret it.”

What kind of effects.... Anyway, complaining further was pointless, so we ate everything without leaving a scrap.

......The smell was so strong I kept gagging the whole time. My lips and throat tingled....

‘Ugh.......’

After finishing every last ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠bit of the mapo tofu, my body felt strange....

――‘If you want to rest, use the lounge room in the inner C4 zone.’

Following the chef's kind suggestion, we headed deeper inside. Rows of rooms lined up like hotel rooms were surprising. Hearing faint sounds, I pressed my ear to a nearby door and caught the soft moans of a woman. These weren't just rooms for resting, apparently. Open rooms were free to use. Since all the open rooms were single-occupancy, we each picked our own room we liked and went in.

“Still, it's a decent room....”

It was small but a reasonably nice private room. It had a bathroom and the bare minimum necessities. The various sex toys prepared in one corner were eye-catching but made sense in context. It felt like I'd come to a love hotel....

For now, I decided to wash up and rest. Since we were intruders in Mera Studio, enemies could burst in at any moment, so I lay on the bed without releasing my costume.

Haa... haa....

Lying on the bed, I couldn't control my burning body and kept tossing and turning. I just wanted to rest properly, but my strange physical condition wouldn't allow it. My mind was half-asleep from fatigue, making everything feel even more sensitive. Like how mosquito bites itch more when you're sleepy.

――‘My mapo tofu has special effects, so you won't regret it.’

I recalled the chef weirdo's words as he served the food. The mapo tofu we'd eaten must have contained some kind of aphrodisiac.

‘That bastard....’

What "special effects" and "you won't regret it"? I really didn't like him from start to finish...!

“Haa... hoo....”

Stopping my hand that wanted to masturbate right away, I pulled the blanket over my head and tightly closed my eyes. If I started masturbating in this state and traits like Masturbation Addiction or Orgasm Addiction activated, I might end up masturbating all night. Plus, we were in the middle of enemy territory—enemies could burst in at any time. I had to rest and get up as soon as possible....

With that thought, I squeezed my eyes shut and buried my face in the pillow.

『Hehe, it's high-grade stuff. Lucky, real lucky.』

‘Huh......?’

I heard a faint voice. I must have fallen asleep while lying there. But a sharp, hot sensation in my chest brought my consciousness back slightly. Not enough to wake up fully, though. Still drowsy, I tried to stay asleep, but my nipples started feeling strangely ticklish and began to heat up.

‘Eh......?’

“Whoops, you waking up?”

Only then did I slowly come to my senses. I wasn't the type to sleep deeply, so I usually woke up right away, but now my head was spinning even after regaining consciousness. It wasn't just from fatigue.

‘This scent...?’

A sweet fragrance floating in the air that stimulated my nose. Smelling it made my thoughts sluggish. While I couldn't properly wake up and remained defenseless, I heard a click and felt handcuffs securing my arms behind my back.

“Wh-what... are you doing...!”

“Whoa whoa, you're a new actress, right? Coming into the lounge is basically asking to get fucked, isn't it? If there's filming tomorrow, they give you a sign saying not to touch, but you didn't put one up. So no problem. Right? Isn't that so?”

Illuminated by the dim light, I saw a weirdo wearing a visor, smirking. From what he said, it didn't seem like he'd attacked me because I was a magical girl. He didn't even seem to know I was a magical girl or an intruder. That might be fortunate....

“Ugh...?!”

“Heh heh... the drug works well.”

The weirdo held a syringe in one hand and lightly pinched my firm nipple with the other. Just being pinched sent a lightning-like pleasure through me, making my hips buck involuntarily. He'd apparently injected something into my nipple...!

Smirking at my reaction, he flipped open the front of my outfit and injected the other nipple as well. My wrists were bound, and my tingling nipples were so desperate for scratching or rough pinching that I grew frantic. But the weirdo just looked down at me with a leering grin, then yanked off my cloth skirt. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠The old-fashioned white undergarment covering my groin (was it called a leg undergarment?) was now blatantly exposed before the man's eyes.

“So there was a cosplay shoot planned today? This feels fresh and nice.”

When he peeled away the cloth covering my groin, my pussy—already thoroughly wet from the aphrodisiac—was revealed. The weirdo rubbed and fondled my soaked pussy, then chuckled, “You're completely drenched, you pervert.” Spreading my defenseless petals with both hands, he pulled back the hood and injected the same drug into my clitoris as well.

“Heh heh, nice and plump now.”

The weirdo pushed back the hood and lewdly licked and sucked my now-erect clitoris with his mouth.

'This rotten bastard...!'

Uuugh...! Ugh...! With my chest and precious private parts shamefully exposed, I twisted my body while letting out frustrated moans.
