The Proud Magical Girl Becomes the Mad Scientist's Target (2)
『Woof! Woof!』 『Grrrrr...!』
The first things to greet Yura upon entering the facility were strangely shaped dogs. Or at least, they could be called dogs... “Two heads....”
Two heads, baring terrifying fangs as if they had lost all reason—an utterly repulsive sight. Ah, this place was definitely a villain facility. She thought so the moment she saw them.
『Graaaah!』
Unable to tolerate the intruder Yura, the dog lunged at her in one swift motion, but both heads were smashed apart with a crunch! Yura’s swung club had instantly crushed its windpipe.
“Poor puppy... I’ll make sure to avenge you.”
She lightly clasped her hands in prayer before the collapsed corpse. Yura then scanned her surroundings warily. They probably hadn’t noticed her intrusion yet. These dogs seemed to have simply been let loose to guard against intruders... and had come running after catching her scent.
‘It’d be troublesome if they caught me because of the smell.’
If more than one or two of these dogs swarmed her, it would be a problem. Having them bark loudly and alert everyone to her presence wouldn’t be good.
“Let’s see, in the Point Shop....”
Since she had plenty of points from yesterday’s events, she purchased a scent remover. With a pop, a perfume-like spray appeared in her hand.
Where to spray... [Just spray it and all smells disappear. Duration: 1 hour. Magic Land special product!]
The description seemed hard to believe, but she had no choice. Yura sprayed it all over her body and moved forward.
‘Which way should I go....’
She had only ever seen the front gate fence in passing, so she never imagined the facility would be this vast. A map would have been nice, but nothing so convenient existed. Moreover, she could spot those two-headed dogs roaming here and there. Good thing she used the scent remover.
‘Causing a huge ruckus and drawing a crowd wouldn’t be ideal either....’
Whatever she did, she needed a clear escape route. Achieve maximum gain with minimum action. Deciding on those two principles, Yura began her quiet exploration.
Translucent optical camouflage surveillance devices floating in the air captured her figure, but Yura remained completely unaware.
“As expected, this place looks the most suspicious....”
After dodging the patrolling dogs with glowing eyes, Yura stood before the largest facility within the compound. It was far bigger and more sophisticated than the others.
‘The problem is how to get inside....’
She circled the building but found no proper windows, making sneaking in seem impossible. The only entrance appeared to be this heavy iron door at the front, which required both fingerprint and iris recognition to open. Bracing for detection, she struck it with her club—bang!—but it didn’t even leave a scratch.
Urgh... Should she give up? She never thought she’d be this frustrated.
‘Maybe dig through the ground...?’
But the tighter it was sealed, the more curious she became. What was inside? What suspicious things were they plotting?
While lingering in front of the door with lingering regret, she suddenly heard a low hum. Looking closely, a section to the left of the door had opened slightly. It was probably from the impact of her club strike earlier. It was too narrow for her body to pass through, but her hand might just barely fit.
Yura slipped her fingers into the gap and, leveraging her high-level Magic Control, pushed hard to the side.
“Nnnngh...!”
With a heavy grinding sound, it opened a little wider. She could probably squeeze through now.
“Uoooooh...! It’s tight...!”
Everything else was fine, but her chest got stuck. Really, having such a large bust was more than just a little inconvenient. Feeling the pressure on her chest, she barely managed to force her way inside.
‘It’s dark....’
As expected, the lights were off, and the corridor was thick with pitch-black darkness. There were no windows, so not even moonlight could enter.
“【Light up, Will-o’-the-wisp】.”
A faint flame appeared near Yura. It wasn’t hot—just a warm, gentle glow. Relying on the light, Yura advanced down the suspicious research facility’s corridor.
“It’s quiet... Is there nothing here?”
After searching the first, second, and third floors, she reached the fourth. Even after going this deep, there was no sign that her intrusion had been detected. There were spider-like and drum-shaped robots on patrol, but she quickly dealt with them before they could sound any alarms.
‘I found quite a few suspicious test subjects. The security robots too—none of this looks like it’s from Earth.’
Not every room was like that, but the few she peeked into reeked of blood. Maybe it was fortunate that the only things inside were animals locked in cages as test subjects. Some of the animals looked like they might not be from Earth, but at least she hadn’t found any humans.
The most suspicious one was a slimy, leech-like creature of unknown origin.
‘It might be dangerous, so I didn’t touch it... but it feels like I’ve seen it somewhere before...?’
Yura pondered the strange sense of déjà vu but couldn’t quite place it. Giving up, she headed to the fifth floor.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, the atmosphere changed completely. It was still dark and damp, but now it was far more humid, filled with a suffocating, foul stench. Mmm... Ahh... Haa... Haah...
‘......A woman’s moans!’
No doubt about it! Along with the wet, fleshy sounds of something slapping together, faint female voices could be heard. Yura carefully moved her feet, following the voices. However, she quickly realized the sounds weren’t coming from a single place—they echoed throughout nearly the entire corridor.
Identical doors lined up along the hallway. A chilling feeling washed over her, as if these were doors that should never be opened, as if seeing what lay beyond would mean never returning. Yura swallowed hard but didn’t turn back. She had come this far—she couldn’t give up now.
She cautiously pushed open the nearest door. Fortunately, there was a faint light inside. And what she saw within...
『Haaah... Ngh... Aaaang...♥』
『It’s... It’s too big... Hnnngaaaah...♥!』
Women gasping like beasts, lost in pleasure. They were being violated by something. But with so little light, only their silhouettes were barely visible. Yura pushed her small will-o’-the-wisp inside to get a better look.
Yeah, now she could see more clearly. Alright, time to figure out what they were!
The things violating the women—massive bodies with slick, glistening surfaces, shapes more grotesque and horrifying than anything she had ever seen—
“Hiiik?!”
Yura covered her mouth and stumbled backward. Clang! Her club slipped from her hand and hit the floor, making her heart drop. Cold sweat broke out across her skin. A terrified whimper threatened to escape her sealed lips.
This wasn’t something she could just torment or ignore. It was on a completely different level from the low-tier Mekrak grunts she had seen before. It was that horrifying.
She shouldn’t have looked. She shouldn’t have known. She shouldn’t have come here.
“Ugh, aaaah....”
Her legs gave out and she collapsed. Thud—she fell to her knees. Even so, she desperately tried to crawl away, shaking her hips as she scrambled backward on all fours.
No. No no no no no no no no no.
That thing......!
“Oh my, oh my, oh my. Was the stimulation a bit too strong~?”
“Ohoh~hoho. A girl paralyzed with fear—such a moving scene. I feel like I’ve discovered a new fetish!”
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh—!
Bright lights suddenly illuminated the previously dark corridor. They had been discovered?!
“Welcome~ This is how terrifying this place is, you foolish magical girl who snuck in without knowing a thing!”
Appearing from the far end of the corridor were a woman and a male monster. The man dressed like a masked magician... was definitely the Lupin that Kei had mentioned! And standing beside him, the woman in the revealing black pseudo-hanbok—!
“Danae?!”
“Oh my~ Thanks for remembering me~.”
It was Danae—the worst magical girl who had once betrayed and sold out an entire team of magical girls, including Yura, to the Bibi nest.
“Why are you here...! Seeing you with Mekrak people, you’re still eagerly offering your ass to the monsters, huh...!”
“Oh my, oh my. Yura, your mouth is still as foul as ever. I came to see my cute old comrade.”
“How dare you say that so shamelessly!”
Yura shouted sharply, trying to steady her trembling body. She picked up the club that had rolled across the floor, sprang to her feet, and swung it at the two of them. Magic Control Lv.7. Empowered by magic power far beyond most magical girls, the club tore through the air, hurtling toward the enemies with crushing force.
However—
Clang—!
Thud!
Yura couldn’t comprehend what had just happened. Danae and Lupin stood unharmed. Only the handle remained in her hands. At some point, Danae had drawn a jet-black sword, its blade gleaming darkly. And on the floor lay the severed upper half of the club.
“H-Huh......?”
It had been... cut? That couldn’t be. Danae was certainly a capable magical girl. But even so, she shouldn’t have been able to match Yura. Last time, she had only captured her with the help of Bibis and monsters!
“Sorry, Yura. I’ve had my own share of things happen.”
Danae immediately kicked Yura in the stomach while she stood defenseless in shock. With a thud, Yura’s body folded over.
“Kah, hack...!”
“I’m much stronger than someone like you now. So be a good girl and submit~ Got it?”
“Ugh...!”
Danae grabbed Yura’s horn and forced her head up. Then she punched her in the stomach again—thud! The heavy impact made Yura vomit stomach acid.
“Good, good. Yura really is cute, isn’t she~♥”
“Ugh, stop.......”
Still holding Yura’s horn, Danae pressed the flat of her blade against Yura’s chest, kneading and tormenting it. Yura couldn’t block or refuse her.
‘B-But... this is my chance...!’
Yura discarded the broken club handle and summoned a new goblin club in her hand. Alright, she’d swing it right now and smash their heads...!
“Then, shall I have a taste?”
“!”
But Danae’s action prevented Yura from carrying out her plan. Smooch... Slurp... Lick...
Danae’s lips overlapped with Yura’s, who couldn’t resist. Her plump lips invaded Yura’s mouth, still sour from stomach acid.
> Dark power is flowing into you.
> ‘Magic: Magic Seal’ is restraining your magic power.
> ‘Skill: Magic Control Lv.7’ has been frozen. Use a debuff removal tool to dispel it.
Huh... What?
“Phew... Mm. It’s uniquely good. This kind of thing too.”
“A-Ah... Wh-What did you....”
Yura’s face turned pale. Strength drained from her body, which had been enhanced by Magic Control. The goblin club in her hand felt unbearably heavy, and she dropped it.
“Ah, It’d be a bit much if you bought a dispelling item...”
> ‘Magic: Plunder’ has been used on you.
> All your points have been stolen.
> Remaining Points: 0
When Danae let go, Yura collapsed to her knees on the spot.
“Now it’s my turn, hoho~ Please look forward to it.”
“U-Uh...!”
The masked monster Lupin cheerfully grabbed Yura’s chin and forced her mouth open. In his other hand was a fist-sized magic stone. The stone melted into a thick liquid and poured into Yura’s forcibly opened mouth.
“...! ......!”
Despite her resistance, Yura helplessly swallowed all the liquid. Rather than swallowing, it seemed to melt and seep into her mouth the moment it entered.
> Corrupted magic is eroding your body.
> ‘Brand of Lewdness’ is activating.
> The curse of the ‘Sex Slave’s Collar’ is binding you.
> ‘Trait: Training Addiction’ has been added.
> You remember the body of the man who subjugated you. Every single one of your cells obeys him. You cannot disobey the orders of the one you submit to.
> Current Submission Rate: 3%
The collar that had been placed on her in Mera Studio, along with the Brand of Lewdness engraved on her lower abdomen, burned hotly.
“There, done.”
“Kuh...! Get away!”
“Whoops.”
Yura swung her arm and shoved Lupin away. Though her strength was only slightly above that of an ordinary person due to her transformed state, Lupin obediently stepped back without resistance.
“Well then, we’ll be taking our leave now.”
“What......?”
“If you keep going this way, you’ll find the lab where the Doctor is. We won’t interfere any further.”
“Yeah. We’re heading out, so do your best, Yura~. The Doctor may not look like it, but he’s a high-ranking member of Mekrak. You’d better do as he says. He might be scary if you make him angry~?”
Thud— Thud—
Heavy sounds echoed from the far end of the corridor, as if walls were dropping to block the passage. Then came the blaring of an alarm.
“Whether you go find the Doctor or struggle to escape from here is up to you. Of course, in the latter case, you’ll have to deal with the Doctor’s anti-intruder facilities and test subjects.”
How much could she accomplish with her magic sealed? With those words, Lupin dramatically flourished the cloak on his back. The cloak enveloped both Lupin himself and Danae, who waved goodbye.
The next moment, the cloak fell to the floor with a soft thud, and the two were gone.
In the cold, lifeless corridor of the research facility, Yura stood alone, shivering from the chill.
Did she... have to escape like this? With no points, no magic, nothing—just her bare body?
“Ha, hahaha....”
Yura stared blankly at the spot where Lupin had disappeared, then slowly turned her head.
“I’ll never forgive them...! Those rotten bastards—I’ll definitely make them cry someday...! Definitely...!”
The Doctor’s security robots and test subjects began appearing one by one, approaching Yura.
