[We are conducting master registration of personality core.]

[External input confirmed. Master registration completed.]

[Activate secondary DNA authentication processing. Master fixation completed.]

Voice commands. I recognized that ‘it’s okay to do whatever you want to a certain extent.’

I returned as Magical Girl Rufina, one of Megacorp’s regulars.

Sky City is completely different from the world the goddess spoke of, so magical girls are not welcome there. Now I understand that the magical girl of justice who defeats evil monsters with the power of love and friendship was a fraud from the beginning… synchronization complete…

I was able to clearly remember who I was and what happened before I was captured by the Megacorp Hero Association without forgetting.

I was in a situation where everything was taken away from me, both my body and my mind, and I had no choice but to continue sitting at the device with my emotional expression function disabled. Thanks to the order, I was able to become Rufina myself.

It could be said that the mind has been transformed into something called a personality core and reinstalled in a modified body.

I don’t think anything has changed except that when answering questions about where my body is or who I am, I have to show the core unit that contains my personality.

Although I think of myself as being divided into the active part and the main body, I am glad that I am not brainwashed like a brainwashed combatant.

Brainwashing…Brainwashing is the act of forcibly manipulating or dominating another person, regardless of his or her personality. The personality core that has been registered as a master is an object, so there is no corresponding part.

Since I became a personality core, I was asked to introduce myself again, but the answer I got back was the same.

“I am Rufina. Okay?”

Of course, the original body modified by the Megacorp Hero Association had already recognized the man standing in front of him as the Master.

that. That’s right. ji. only! I returned to Rufina after being told to do as I please, but my heart does not recognize the association president as a master!

As a personality core, the range of commands I can give is ‘Become Rufina.’ It was enough to make me regret the fact that it included the statement, ‘Come back to Rufina.’

As a personality core, I may have obeyed the Master, but I had to play the ‘perfect’ Rufina. Rufina, who carried out the command with authority granted by the Master, will not yield.

Even if the recreated body surrendered. Even if I came to think of myself as a thing called a personality core!

I plan to continue to persevere and escape. Of course it’s true that I did something wrong…but this is wrong, right?

**

“Hmph….?! What…what are you doing? Now?!”

That’s what I was thinking, though. We have slowly reached our limit.

Although I also remembered the regret of pretending to have been brainwashed from the beginning. If she hadn’t become the real Rufina, the personality core’s orders might have been overwritten.

The trickster goddess must have taken the divine power back. The Megacorp Association forcibly inserted magic circuits extracted from other magical girls into my body.

The magic circuit can be manipulated at will. Because I was pinned again… my height and breasts became much larger than usual.

The current state, which cannot be traced back to its original appearance, is the one used when Megacorp’s ground escalator was accidentally destroyed.

“Ahhh…♥”

The president of the Megacorp Hero Association, embarrassed that his master authority was blocked, even had yellow fox ears growing on his head. He pushed the tail he couldn’t create into his… er… butt.

Instead of pain, an incomprehensible pleasure started whispering to me to keep acknowledging it.

It whispers to me to perform actions befitting the possession I own. All I had to do was block it with the command to become Rufina.

Satisfaction too. Happiness too. The entire meaning of existence. From the moment it became an object that existed only to be used, it was useless.

“Ahh….”

Although I resisted hard, it was only a matter of time before I gave in to my personality core instincts.

What you should do is surrender. Although it was something I had never done before, I was able to study it visually thanks to the other fixtures who began serving the Master.

The permission given by Bipum, who gave up her position as a human and crawled in front of the Master like a female. It was a kiss of submission, offering one’s existence to the Lord who would rule over oneself.

It was a shameful and humiliating scene. At the same time, just by looking at it, an overwhelming sense of happiness began to flood my mind…and my personality core.

ah.

The frequency of personality core whispers became shorter and shorter.

A feeling that has become useless. If you just let go of one emotion called humanity, things will get a lot better.

The personality core had its own mindset.

A foolish idea that was a mistake from the beginning and was full of flaws until the end. It is clear that there are obstacles that have been preventing you from accepting your true self.

Things should be things. All it had to do was become a machine that had to stand upright and mindlessly wait to receive orders from its master.

I was thinking wrong.

I understand why A001 and MN-001 recognized each other as sisters.

I realized why I treated even staff units with administrator privileges that were merely reprogramming brainwashed combatants with great care.

Now I am not a magical girl. Rufina, a tool for capturing magical girls. A personality core that exists as the property of Megacorp.

Now that he can clearly answer who he is, the personality core created by MN-001 looks different…

There’s nothing in it yet. As a fixture of Megacorp like me. The personality core that would become the main body of the captured magical girl was carefully lifted.

Don’t you feel uncomfortable when someone else is holding ‘you’ carelessly?

From the beginning to this day, nothing has changed and it exists as a simple object like me… I have already developed the mindset of a senior who has become the core of my personality.

Because I want to carry out the Master’s orders as quickly as possible and let my younger siblings know the satisfaction of serving as the personality core of Megacorp… I change the mode.

Although the opportunity to see Rufina-sama, who took away all of my original position so that I could remain as Megacorp’s property, is decreasing. I left everything I wanted to say, so I have no regrets.

ah. I think I have one!

I am really satisfied. I want to capture the magical girl as soon as possible according to the master’s orders and insert her personality core into the magic circuit. You can always see sympathy on Rufina’s face.

This is a feeling that is difficult for me to understand, as from the moment I became a personality core, I was presupposed to live solely for the Master’s orders.

I can understand feeling sorry for the scissors that are so rusty that they can no longer cut paper. As a personality core unit, I am being used by the Master without any problems, so there is no reason for me to look at Rufina with pity.

I would like to teach Rufina, who has made me feel real, the pride of being an object. Rufina was not eligible to be captured as a magical girl who could use personality cores.

Personality Core Rufina. The purpose has been changed from a convenience equipment for Megacorp Security trainees to a unit for capturing magical girls.

**

Personality Core Rufina. Self-inspection completed. clear. Start working. Conduct a self-awareness report.

Although it was impossible to completely erase the magical girls created every day from Sky City. The complete suppression of the ‘rogue’ magical girls active around the Megacorp Hero Association was successful.

Although she was a magical girl who was more wary than usual because it was known that she was being used as the body of a magical girl-type combat unit. I became more lax with the same magical girl.

Recalling my memories of working as a magical girl before becoming a personality core, I asked, ‘Did you hear the news?’ I was able to approach cautiously.

Of course, they didn’t capture all the magical girls, but even if they processed them into personality cores like me, they had a hard time because they were magical girls who had accidents and ran away to the point where no one could say anything.

The master converted all captured magical girls into personality cores.

This time, you approached it in a different way, referring to my memory data where the Master continued to resist because he could not accept the position of being subordinate to the owner as a registered personality core.

I think you got the idea from the fact that I stopped resisting the moment I understood the joy of being an object.

It exists as is for the convenience of those who are combat cyborgs of Megacorp Security. Immediately after being remodeled, even though it was a subordinate personality core, it was made to undergo the same training until it understood its own happiness as a fixture.

Unlike Yuna, who is a cyborg, she is not treated as a human being. The position of a magical girl was that she was treated worse than a member of Megacorp.

From the moment I was satisfied. Like the personality core that was Rufina, it is a trap where self-awareness turns into the mindset of an object.

Supreme Fox. He said that even if you are ordered to become Rufina like Ilemina, it is impossible to return to normal once you accept being treated like this for granted.

It just felt natural as transferring the mind to an object called a personality core itself was an irreversible procedure. I didn’t feel any other emotions.

The brainwashed combatants who appeared in the back alleys of the dark night also disappeared when Megacorp Security began patrolling outside.

Just like the magical girls who understood that they would be silently captured if they worked around the association, they simply changed their area of activity, so the area where the brainwashed fighters moved became more chaotic.

“The president of the association…is…inside…?”

I thought it would be a little later before I met Rufina, who happily accepted my useless position. The day of meeting came sooner than expected.

Although Rufina had a hole in her hand. The certificate of completion of the first cyborg full body training program was crumpled in my hand.
