Lumia Star's Return

Morning birdsong pulled her back to consciousness.

The bed reeked of a dizzyingly potent, lewd stench. Even in this wide-open space, the smell clung stubbornly, assaulting her nostrils.

"Hngh, hng... cock, pleeease. Coooock."

Myohwa Seorin's face came into view, her voice hoarse from screaming for dick. Han Siwoo lay beside her on the bed.

"Myohwa Seorin, why don't you snap out of it already?"

"Coooock, pleeease... I'm going insane. Pleeease."

Tear tracks layered her cheeks, dried blood crusted under her nose.

Yet she still drooled, chanting for cock—it was almost comical.

"Why are you tormenting Siwoo?"

"Don't know, don't caaare, just gimme coooock."

Pssht. Pssshhh.

"PLEEEASE, I'M LOSING IT, PLEEEASE!"

She wailed in agony.

Somehow, Lumia even felt a twinge of pity.

"Fine. But you can't have Siwoo. Got it?"

"Yeth, yeth, pleeease, I'll do anything, pleeease."

Lumia decided to ignore her. First, she had to heal Siwoo's body. A body soaked in drugs was tricky to mend.

"I'll definitely restore you to normal."

She placed her hand on his chest and focused.

The drugs had spread everywhere—blood, fat, liver, brain. She couldn't let her concentration slip even for a second.

The drug concentration throughout his body had far exceeded lethal levels.

"So much has seeped in..."

Yet Siwoo was still alive. Grateful for the miracle that hadn't ended, she focused harder.

She couldn't extract it all at once. Slowly, carefully, to avoid straining his body.

She drew it out bit by bit. No matter what, she would succeed.

How much time passed? Success. All the drugs were gone.

"Hah... hah..."

Her vision swam. But Siwoo's color had returned. With trembling hands, she pulled him into an embrace.

"I really love you."

Seeing him sleep so peacefully, she felt herself falling for him all over again.

"Let's go home."

The familiar ceiling. My apartment ceiling.

What happened? Did I black out?

I'd submitted my resignation and was heading home when that crazy Heresy Inquisitor kidnapped me...

Lumia saved me! I vaguely remembered thrashing in nightmares.

"Ah, Lumia!"

"Feeling okay?"

Her intense stare felt a bit scary.

"Huh? Oh, yeah?"

I'd been drenched in those drugs. Why was I fine?

Then it hit me—her specialty.

"Was it your healing magic? Never thought I'd receive it personally."

"Sniff... hngh."

Huh?

"Lumia, are you crying?"

"I don't know!"

Tears streamed down her face.

"I'm fine. See? Totally okay."

"Do you have any idea what your body was like? Soaked in drugs, ruined—do you even know?!"

She sobbed and yelled. Guilt washed over me.

"S-sorry."

"Don't apologize! It tore my heart apart! I thought you were dying—I was terrified!"

I gently hugged her. She buried herself in my chest, pounding weakly as she cried.

"Sorry for only thinking of myself."

"Hngh, I hate you! No, I love you! But I hate you!"

"I'll be more careful from now on."

"Never leave my side. Ever."

I stroked her hair.

"Got it. I'll always be by your side."

"Sniff..."

After some time, she calmed and pulled away.

"Sorry for throwing a tantrum."

"No, if you were in danger, I'd feel the same."

"Still..."

Her gloomy expression made me want to lighten the mood. Huh?

"Lumia's status window looks a bit different."

"Hm... I'll just read off what I see."

Arousal still at 5%—good. Corruption dropped more? Great. Vaginal manifestation... keeps rising.

"Looks good!"

"But... submission and vaginal manifestation—these ominous numbers keep climbing."

Not a great state. Like treating one poison with another.

"No problem! You're the one contracted to me. I can submit or get aroused for you anytime, right?"

"Th-that's too mu—"

Her innocent smile made me blush.

"I'm yours exclusively. I'll think and act only for you, anywhere, anytime—no need to worry."

"It's... burdensome? You should live your life for yourself."

She seemed ready to give me her liver and gall bladder. Was this yandere territory? Nah, why would someone like me...

Just focus on healing her.

"Heh? You made me like this and now you'll toss me away?"

"Wh-what? I fixed you! Speaking of, corruption dropped a lot—how's your body?"

I was curious. Started at 95%.

A whopping 30% down to 65%.

"Now I can handle daily life mostly. The occasional surges of lust are hard to ignore, but... you'll take care of those, right?"

"Really great. So daily life is no issue?"

"Yeah, all ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠thanks to you. I owe you my life—literally."

"No big deal... You're not fully healed yet."

"Thank you so much."

Lumia bowed to me. The Lumia.

She looked up with a radiant smile.

"You're my savior and my life. So I'll ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠dedicate this life to you."

"What, like a knight's oath? Sure."

Lumia snapped her fingers.

"Knight! Perfect. I vow to devote and sacrifice this one life to Han Siwoo forever..."

"No, that's not what I—"

She transformed into her magical girl form and knelt. She took my hand, kissing the back.

I didn't know where to look. Her "eternal light"—as a magical girl, that meant her whole life.

Way too much. Overwhelmingly so.

But...

Refuse, and she'd probably seppuku on the spot. Best to play along seriously, even if joking.

"I too shall devote ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠everything to my brightest star."

A beat of silence. Then we burst out laughing at each other.

"Pfft."

"Puhaha!"

"What kind of mood is this?"

"You're the one who started with the knight oath."

I felt closer to Lumia somehow.

"Still, it's fun. Chatting like this, playing around."

"Yeah, it'd be great if we could do this forever."

My sincerity froze her for a moment. Then...

"No pretenses—I'll say it straight. I love you, Han Siwoo."

"I love you too, Lumia."

How could I not? I'd been her fan my whole life. And here she was.

"Then never leave my side."

"I'd love to stay by you forever."

"Hehe, keep sweet-talking?"

"It's the truth."

"To repay that... I think I can make my comeback now."

"For real?"

Comeback. It showed how much she'd recovered. She was really better.

"Now for your new mission! How about Lumia Star's manager, Han Siwoo?"

"My dream job."

"Everyone happy—perfect world complete?"

"Yeah? Can we really be this happy?"

Tough times aside, maybe Lumia and I had built our happy world.

Something nagged at me, forgotten. Eh, probably not important.

"Damn, I drag my broken body here, and you're like this?"

In the abandoned factory corner, Luna Pixie Yuna had retrieved Myohwa Seorin's body.

"Who's gonna listen to my complaints now?"

Bound and twitching, covered in cum, juices, nosebleed, and drool.

A light poke.

Pssht. Psssh.

Fluids squirted from her pussy.

"Ugh... Lumia really went hard, leaving you like this?"

No breaks or damage visible. Body seemed intact.

But... her mind was shattered?

Sigh...

Have to take her. Yuna hauled Myohwa Seorin to the magical girl hospital.

Heal her first, then get the full story.
