“I’ll check it one more time. Miss Rufina. Right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Rufina, captured by the fox doll Mugi, was brought to the Megacorp Hero Association with a rubber film stuck to her entire body.

She was not a fake magical girl with no origins who was clearly born out of nowhere, but a real magical girl who had been given an artifact that could transform her into a magical girl as a gift from the goddess of the fairyland, but there was nothing she could do about it.

I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to say no and see how the president of Megacorp would react, but it wasn’t something I would do to someone who was holding a wallet containing my academy student ID card.

The president of the association was similar to the fox beastman who ran away with all his might using flight magic and when he came down to the ground, he lowered the trigger of the launcher and asked questions first.

Is it really Rufina herself, or is it certain that she is the magical girl who destroyed the escalator and the delivery truck? It was the same as far as asking why.

“Miss Rufina”

“…Yes.”

I didn’t hear any nagging in the prepared counseling room, but Rufina’s head naturally bowed as the president of the association sighed self-deprecatingly, saying that it would be useless to talk about it since she was at the age of attending the academy.

Why did you do that? I didn’t ask why I took that action, as if I were someone who knew about magical girls.

Instead, I went straight to the point.

“Can you give me one reason why I shouldn’t put Rufina into the experimental capsule pot right now?”

“Si..experiment? Capsule port? You didn’t hear it wrong, right?”

Rufina, who was staring blankly at the shiny white metal floor tiles, asked if she had heard wrong, but received the same answer.

Rufina’s survival instinct began to kick in when she was told to give at least one reason not to use it as research material.

I understood why the fox beastman, who was happily wagging his tail even though he was called A001, was left standing in the corner like a mannequin instead of being let out.

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s a crime, right?”

And unlike most fake magical girls who had problems with their written grades as well as their practical grades, Rufina gave an answer that everyone could understand.

When I sat down, the rubber on my chest and thighs slipped and pressed, creating a slight feeling of pleasant warmth in my head. At the notification that it would be inserted into the experimental capsule port, the accident circuit began to run coldly.

Thanks to this, a black sheen stuck to my entire body, revealing the outlines of my breasts, thighs, and even my embarrassing crevices. Following the 100-point answer, I was able to add additional explanations worth up to 120 points.

“Why is this a crime? Miss Rufina?”

“Ah. No matter what, you’re kidnapped and detained?! This!”

“Magical girls have a lot of problems, so shouldn’t they be treated like anything? Everyone seemed to understand when I told them I was kicked out of the party because I was a magical girl.”

“What?!”

Quick. Rufina’s face turned bright red when Kim Hyun-woo said that magical girls can be treated like anything.

The logic was that even if a magical girl was kicked out for no reason in Sky City, where a party evaluation system exists, everyone would agree that she was just a wild animal on the side of the road.

It was a fitting answer for Sky City, where slave markets and small business exchanges were set up in every neighborhood. Rufina had information in her head that she had worked hard to obtain as a true magical girl.

“Just because you can’t enter the party doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want!”

That’s the fact that Sky City’s security guard went out of his way to save the poor magical girl. It was the story of a fake magical girl who, following in the footsteps of her parents, was tricked into a fraudulent contract and almost became a Humanoid for maid work.

“Magical girls are people too! People!”

As new methods of using ‘fake’ magical girls called magical girl-type combat units became known, it was good news for the real magical girl Rufina, who had been suffering from brokers for a long time.

Due to the information control of the Free Artificial Intelligence Association, it was not possible to find out when or why it was done. The rumor that the police officer in charge of Sky City’s security fell to the ground for a magical girl was true.

The security forces treated magical girls as citizens of Sky City.

It was a sufficient answer to give to the criminal who was wearing the mask of the president of the association and who said that it was okay to treat magical girls as if they were bodies with magic circuits.

Rufina added one more word.

“Really.”

Of course, I know that I did something wrong and that I caused harm to others.

It may be a bit shameless to say it because it is true, but there was no reason to turn down a villain who was pushing magical girls into ruin.

“If it really was a problem. It’s natural that you would have caught the magical girl in Sky City first, right? Chairman of the association?”

Sky City’s magical girls have never been responsible for minor damage caused by the wide-area magic they used to kill monsters that appeared.

Of course, most of the fake magical girls just flew away and ran away, but if you wanted to catch them like the Megacorp Hero Association did this time, you could catch them as many times as you want.

But the reason why the magical girl was not wanted or punished? It was clearly the same reason the security guard helped the magical girl who almost turned into a Humanoid.

Although it is clearly being treated poorly. That’s because it’s a combination of Sky City’s environment and a skill tree focused on area magic. Magical girls, like everyone else, were allowed to exist in Sky City.

The real magical girl let out all the complaints she had in her heart by retorting that if she really hated her, there would have been a way to catch her.

“Have you finished what you had to say? Miss Rufina?”

“Yes!”

I felt grateful, even if just a little, to the president of the association, who listened and nodded without missing a single word.

” Since Ms. Lufina said it, it’s okay if I say it this time, right?”

“Yes. President of the Association.”

Rufina, who demonstrated flawless logic, also gave the opportunity to speak to the president of the association, who took a sip of warm green tea first to show that nothing was burned.

“If you just flew away… that means you didn’t receive the reward, right? ”

“Uh…right?”

A faint but persistent poison began to seep into the heart of the magical girl who nodded.

**

“Reward…is it a reward?!!”

Rufina’s logic to avoid going to the experimental capsule port was instantly broken.

Even though they had a closed policy of no entry except for those involved, the opponent was the president of the Hero Association.

I had no choice but to accept the explanation that Sky City’s emergency quests were automatically assigned to monsters that suddenly appeared in Sky City, and that since they were designated quests for the city, the rewards and experience points were dozens of times different than ordinary quests.

In Sky City, a waiver of ownership is required from the subdued hero in order to send a brainwashed combatant to the hospital. No one would hate a magical girl who gave up ownership of a monster that turned into scorched powder and flew away.

Even if a magical girl broke down the wall of her house to catch a monster, there would be no complaint because Sky City was adding compensation to the repair cost out of the budget that should have been used to pay for emergency requests.

This is because the amount of activity deducted in the name of civilian damage is greater than the amount received as compensation for emergency requests. There were no people who pretended that the magical girl’s troublesome behavior was their own.

It’s not that Sky City can’t catch magical girls who cause trouble.

It was not for any grand reason, such as being allowed to exist as mentioned by Rufina, but it was just that they were turning a blind eye to magical girl activities for reasons of budget saving.

The evidence was presented in front of Rufina.

“What is this…?”

This was a document received from the police station by Kim Hyun-woo, the president of Megacorp, when the ground escalator was destroyed by a magical girl’s wide-area magic.

The paper document with the stamp of the local magistrate is a real magical girl from Sky City. Rufina was proving that she was a criminal.

The president of the association, who was listening with interest to the magical girl’s argument, and the fox beastman, who, instead of shaking his chest, remained as still as a mannequin, looked at Rufina’s argument that ‘it is not a crime and should not be done’ as invalid.

In Sky City, where problems are solved by one party disappearing, it was completely normal to subdue criminals with greater violence.

“Can you give me one reason why I shouldn’t put Rufina into the experimental capsule pot right now?”

Rufina, who was forcibly brought to the Megacorp Hero Association, was asked the same question once more.

“That…that…so…that’s why! wait for a sec! Now, wait a minute! So…so…?!”

The question asked with some prerequisites added had long since turned Rufina’s mind blank.

All that was on my mind was the feeling of feeling good between my crotches as I pulled on the shiny latex bodysuit, which made a squeaky sound when I ran my fingers through it, with all my might.

“No, right? Miss Rufina?”

“I don’t think there is one. Myaha~”

When Megacorp’s equipment, which is in mannequin mode, approaches, what is seen is a shiny black bodysuit instead of a magic dress. It was an outfit that only a brainwashed combatant would wear.

“Brainwashing…Brainwashing combatants…Brainwashing…Combatants…..!! That’s it! That!”

Rufina, a true magical girl who believes in the power of love and friendship, stood up.

And, thanks to the vague but clearly written common sense provided by Happiness Circuit, I confidently held out my finger toward the president of the association.

“Your friends will come to rescue you soon, right? It would be better if you release it immediately!”

“The one who smashed it first and ran away was Miss Rufina, right?”

“That…but! Isn’t it too much to put into the capsule port?!”

“Okay. okay. When are you coming?”

The magical girl confidently asked the person who had kidnapped her what time it was, and instead of the fox who answered in seconds without even looking at the clock, she asked the president of the association again. Of course it was the same.

After checking the exact time, Rufina confidently raised one finger.

“One hour! Please wait one hour!”

“It only takes an hour, right? Miss Rufina?”

It was a time when she thought it would take time for her friends, who were also real magical girls, to notice her abnormality of not answering messages or calls as soon as academy classes ended and even invade the Megacorp Hero Association.

“Jo..Please wait a little longer!! Wednesday… class might have ended late! Cleaning duty! is it so! It’s clear that he’s on cleaning duty!”

“…Uh. Um…yeah. Miss Rufina.”

My friends didn’t come.

One more hour of after-school activities. Even if I asked to wait two more hours for dungeon practice, it was the same.

It would have been understandable if Megacorp’s other members were blocking the friends, but the CCTV showed only a staff unit sending out academy teachers wearing latex bodysuits.

When the suspicion that it was a recorded video arose, a fox prisoner named A001 even went up to the ground entrance and confirmed it.

The reason why Rufina was sitting still even though the fox beastman who was guarding the association president disappeared was because she accepted a bet that if her friends came to visit, she would treat them as if nothing had happened.

The more you can gain, the more you have to lose when you lose a bet. Rufina, who had been informed of the experimental capsule port from the beginning, had nothing more to lose.

“President of the Association. Four hours have already passed♥”

“Ah. Ah! ah! ah! Oh…because today is Friday! Wow..don’t you have to wait until Monday!”

I thought it wasn’t there, but it was.

I felt embarrassed at myself for continuing to increase the number and now asking for it to be increased by 3 more days, but a part of my heart was prickling. It hurt.

It wasn’t a flaw, but it felt like there was some dust in the bond created by the consensus that she was a true magical girl chosen by the goddess.

Growling…

I was hungry too. By the time I proudly announced that it was an hour, I was lying comfortably on the soft sofa. The current Rufina has shrunk like a well-dried sponge.

“Uh…”

As Rufina’s stomach growled once more, the president of the association, who began to feel as if he had made a mistake, spoke first.

“Let’s make it a week, right? From now until next Friday.”

“Is this…a week…”

“In the meantime, let’s pretend that you are a guest at Megacorp… and after that… it’s okay, right? Miss Rufina?”

Even the president of the association did not mention what would happen next.

It was clear that they would be used as test subjects, like the fake magical girls that occasionally appear on the Small Body Exchange.

one week. Rufina nodded, having received twice the amount of time she had requested, despite her shame, asking her to wait from Friday to Monday.

A magical girl who ordered a lot of dishes she wouldn’t even eat at a high-end restaurant on her first day. It didn’t take much time to change the menu from tuna kimbap to vegetable kimbap at the snack bar.
