Magical Girl Was Defeated by Nanomachines (6)

『Nanomachine Brainwashing is progressing.』

“How do you feel right now?”

“I don’t feel anything in particular.”

“I see… Anything unusual after you woke up?”

“Well… my lower body felt a bit sticky and I was drenched in sweat? What kind of experiment did you even do?”

“I’ll explain later… Now for the last question, what is our objective?”

Seriously… Do I have to answer that too? It’s not like this is an interrogation or anything…

Ever since I came out of the shower, Doctor has been asking only simple questions. It’s starting to get annoying.

These aren’t discussions about equipment or security programs, but questions on the level of ‘Are you in enough pain for an injection?’ at a hospital… only pathetic answers come out of a Super Genius’s mouth!

Ah, I should answer first. Our objective is…

“It’s the Klaus Rebellion Plan, isn’t it? Along with the traitor right in front of me.”

“Traitor… Yes, a traitor…”

Whether they are monsters or aliens, they all refer to the 『Klaus』 who invaded Earth. Heinous villains who, within a day of invasion, reduced humans to mere prospective slaves.

Among them, seven individuals who can be called the pinnacle of power and wisdom, the 『Seven Stars』… For one of those monsters to be in charge of the team’s briefing and technology with me, my heart feels so reassured…

“You don’t seem to have a chest that would feel reassured, though.”

“What’s it matter~ If it’s ChuChu’s size, it’s incredibly dangerous… but I’m slender, aren’t I?”

…That’s strange.

I remember getting really angry at Doctor about my chest last time… No, was it strange that I got angry?

If a stranger badmouthed my chest, that would be one thing, but when Hyun-ah or Rapin looked at me with lewd gazes, I actually teased them back… with Doctor, I have no such memory-

Ah, I did. Why couldn’t I remember it again…

“Hmm… And?”

“Huh?”

“There’s one more, objective.”

“Hey… one answer should be enough. If you suddenly correct me and say there are two answers, I won’t want to answer.”

Doctor stopped tapping on the panel and recording, and looked at me with a serious expression.

“I’m doing this because I’m worried about you.”

『Nanomachine Brainwashing is progressing.』

“Worried… about me?”

“I performed an experiment using a Magical Girl’s body directly on you, yet you can’t remember a single thing about it. A Super Genius, after fainting and reawakening, has shown suspected memory loss. As a ‘comrade,’ how can I not be worried?”

He seems uncharacteristically serious…

It’s nice when the other girls worry about me, but somehow… when Doctor tells me to rest a bit, or when he strokes my head, I feel an inexplicable sense of relief. My heart also pounds…

I don’t know. It feels like a different emotion from joy… Could it be?

Nah… it can’t be…

….Still, it’s not bad.

“Ah, alright… So…”

“To give you a hint, it’s an objective related to the experiment we just did.”

I’ll figure out what this feeling is later, let’s just answer first. A Super Genius Magical Girl making her comrade worry, this won’t do!

Hmm… related to the experiment, huh… Shall I retrace the situation when I woke up?

My whole body was drenched in sweat, a shock like falling from bed height, my Magical Power had vanished to the point of depletion, and my lower body felt strangely sticky, as if I had mingled bodies with Doctor before the experiment.

….Wait.

What is that supposed to mean…

Mingled bodies…? Doctor and I? That’s impossible.

No matter how close we are, I… I’m still…

『Nanomachine Brainwashing is progressing.』

“….”

“….”

Kaang-!!

“Yes… there should be small errors. If you succeed all at once, you can’t feel a great sense of accomplishment.”

“What… what did you do to me?!”

The saber I swung after activating Battle Suit: Type【Zero】 couldn’t even leave a scratch on Doctor.

All I managed was cutting off the mechanical tentacles that emerged from the ceiling simultaneously with my attack, and though the saber approached his neck, where his head and body could be separated, it wouldn’t move any further.

『Absolute Obedience is activated.』

『You cannot disobey your master’s command. Only the master can deactivate the skill.』

『The master deactivates Battle Suit: Type【Zero】.』

『The master restricts Magical Power.』

『As a penalty for attacking the master, your actions are suspended until the master permits it.』

The red armor I had worn for a moment vanished into light, and I could only stand before Doctor like a statue, in the pose of swinging a baseball bat.

As if the Magical Power needed for transformation was also restricted, my neatly tied ponytail came undone and fell to my shoulders, and even the navy Magical Girl outfit that had at least covered my privates disappeared, leaving me naked.

Doctor caressed my hairless, smooth privates with his hand, slowly peeling back the skin of a small bean.

He stretched the vaginal fluid on his finger like a thread, making a squishing sound, then spread it like paint over the barcode on my thigh… the 『Brand of the Devil』.

“Is that fear, or anger? I’m thinking of changing our titles soon, so since we’re master and disciple, let’s call each other by name from now on.”

“I’ll never… never forgive you…!”

“Remember this, Ciel. There are two objectives implanted in you. One is the original Klaus Rebellion Plan, the other is… the解除 of the 『Blessing of Contraception』.”

Rather than the pain of losing my virginity, as I hadn’t loved anyone yet, my body trembled at the memories slowly returning.

Whether he manipulated the personality that had become breast milk, or directly tampered with my brain to manipulate memories, I don’t know, but my mind was full of contradictory memories where Doctor was in places he shouldn’t have been.

“Aren’t you excited? The sight of a Magical Girl, who should be impossible to fertilize, becoming pregnant… Just imagining it is thrilling. Perhaps all the nobles and Seven Stars will light up their eyes and rush in.”

“Ha, don’t make me laugh. I have a Blessing, so there’s no way I’d get pregnant! We’re biologically different species, do you think that’s even possible?”

I tried to maintain my composure and sneered, but Doctor seemed to find even that amusing, and stroked my head again.

“Then we’ll just have to increase the numbers.”

“…What?”

“I don’t know how much the 『Blessing of Contraception』 can block… but it’s good to have many test subjects. The one whose mana drops fastest will be fertilized first.”

The display panel began to light up. On it, the true forms of my teammates, which I hadn’t even seen myself, were being filmed in real-time.

Had a considerable amount of time passed since the infiltration of the Workshop? It seemed to be daytime, as Rapin’s shop was bustling with people.

Luna and Hyun-ah were working at Rapin’s shop, ChuChu was drawing illustrations in what was presumed to be her home, and so on… Doctor had hacked my drones and was tracking all my teammates’ locations.

“Going to other countries is bothersome… so I’ll try to capture these six first.”

“Don’t…”

“They’re not as good as you, but as I saw in your memories, they’re all beauties… Especially Phantom Thief Lupin, she’s not a Magical Girl, but she has the most Magical Power in the team. Is that why you scouted her? To infiltrate Black Rose a day later.”

Doctor, the enemy, who had already rummaged through my mind… had discovered the plan.

Hating myself for being unable to do anything despite this, my eyes welled up with tears from the despair of having to consider the man in front of me as my master.

“Of course, Ciel, I can win even without using you as a hostage.”

“Don’t… do it…”

“How exciting… What would happen if I mixed personalities? Would the ego split into two? Or would they maintain their sanity, or would their egos split and they’d become invalids? I don’t know. Still, it’s a relief that a body rich in Magical Power remains. I can use it as a battery and a pregnancy pouch…”

With the explanation accompanied by a video, as if to scare a child, even the last thread of hope I had seemed about to break.

I have no means of contact.

There’s no way to warn them of the danger.

As long as my Magical Power is restricted, I can’t fight properly.

Even if, by some slim chance, I were to stop Doctor alone, as long as the traitor… Hyun-ah is there, the operation will fail.

The Magical Girl who became a Demon of Lust… Hyun-ah’s true form, neither controlled nor corrupted by anyone, still flickers in my mind.

Whether the truth was her saying she was prepared to sacrifice her life to protect peace, or the image in the video, spreading black wings and mocking my plight, was the truth… I’ve realized it now.

We are destined to be defeated in the end, and there’s only one thing I can do now.

『By the master’s authority, action restrictions are lifted.』

“Please… don’t do it…”

To postpone defeat as much as possible.

Even if my pride is trampled, to protect my precious friends until the very end.

How long had it been since I made my knees touch the floor myself? Was it when I was forced to apologize to my damn parents before leaving home…?

It’s cold. But this is all I can do.

“…….Don’t you think your eye level is a bit high?”

When I sat on the floor and looked up slightly at Doctor’s face, he wiggled his finger, telling me to lower my body even more, as if just kneeling wasn’t enough for him.

As if telling me to completely abandon a Super Genius’s pride.

As if telling me to lower my head and only look up when he permitted it.

Lower…

More.

Even lower.

“Please… I beg you…”

Even though it was a shameful display, with not a single thread covering my body, it was my sincerity, all I could do to save my teammates.

“*Cough*… *Ahem*, don’t worry too much. Unlike the traitor in your team, I’m not sadistic… so I’ll try to prevent her intervention as much as possible.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. Absolutely. But given her personality, the limit will probably be about a month from now.”

A month.

That’s enough.

Even if my Magical Power is restricted and I can’t use magic, I still have skills that don’t require Magical Power, like 『Wisdom of the Sage』 or 『Inventor’s Talent』.

If I can just find a tiny opening, if I can just gain a few seconds… I should be able to send at least one message to tell everyone the truth.

“However, there are conditions, of course.”

“First, you must fundamentally not resist the Nanomachines and remain in a brainwashed state. If you notice or regain your senses, report to me within 5 minutes.”

“Second, you must have self-awareness as Doctor’s test subject. It seems 『Absolute Obedience』 blocks emotional energy, you see.”

“Third, you must actively participate in the解除 of the 『Blessing of Contraception』. You must accept any Negative Skill injected into you.”

“The fourth and final condition is… regardless of brainwashing, you must always appear in video calls with the nobles. Even though I’m a Seven Star, I’m also a professor and researcher, so I need money.”

“If you just follow these simple things, for exactly one month, I will block Hyun-ah’s movements. You can even try to kill me if you break free from the brainwashing. If that happens, Ciel, it will be your victory.”

Doctor’s brainwashing isn’t perfect yet. My regaining consciousness is proof of that.

But as time goes on, it will become more sophisticated. The time I have to regain consciousness will also decrease. The moment immediately after the three infiltrate Black Rose will be my last chance.

I cannot refuse.

Even if I refuse, since the Brand has already marked Doctor as my master, someday the 『Blessing of Contraception』 will be lifted, and the Nanomachine Brainwashing will become even more sophisticated.

So… I have to grasp at this last straw.

“Promise… you’ll keep it.”

“Of course… It will start exactly from the operation’s commencement date…”

The Nanomachines, which had once again consumed my kneeling limbs, lifted me into the air. Mechanical tentacles extended from the ceiling, connected to a tank filled with milky white fluid.

According to my brainwashed memories, that was… a Semen Tank, replicating Doctor’s sperm.

Jjilggeok-

“Hngh…”

“Until then… shall I continue the Blessing解除 experiment with the seed inside your belly?”

Everyone, wait for me… Even if my end is miserable, I will make sure you can escape!

Until the Black Rose infiltration, there is… one day left.
