My Magical Girl System

Chapter 166: Illusion of Blessing

Lumy slowly regained consciousness. Her eyelids fluttered open, and she stared at the familiar ceiling of her own apartment. She sat up slowly, feeling a slight soreness in her body, especially between her legs.

She looked down. She was wearing the same white blouse and dark pencil skirt she had on before leaving for Felix’s house. Everything looked normal... almost too normal.

Lumy’s hand trembled as she slowly lifted her skirt. She checked between her legs and let out a shaky breath of relief.

’Still... a virgin... Thank god...’

But when she lowered her gaze to her lower abdomen, her face paled. There it was the elegant, glowing pink tattoo in the shape of a stylized womb, clearly visible on her skin. It wasn’t a dream.

Lumy’s eyes filled with guilt and pain. She hugged her knees to her chest and whispered hoarsely.

"...Felix... I’m sorry... I’m so sorry..."

Meanwhile, in a secluded hotel room...

Morgana was tied tightly to a chair with glowing pink chains. Her seductive crimson body was restrained, her white hair messy, and her red eyes burned with fury and humiliation.

Andrey stood in front of her, phone in hand. He had just finished sending a message to the group chat.

Andrey: I have some urgent business to handle. Don’t wait up for me. I’ll be back tomorrow.

He turned off his phone and put it away. Then he looked at the System interface only he could see.

"...System. Explain everything. What exactly is going on?"

System: Of course, Host. I’ll explain it clearly.

The reason you could seal Morgana is because you possess a fragment of Laplace’s soul inside you. That fragment has a special resonance with demons. It allows you to forcibly absorb and seal demons who don’t carry Laplace’s blessing.

However, if a demon already possesses Laplace’s blessing, they share the same resonance making them extremely difficult, almost impossible, to seal. It would be like trying to absorb something that already matches your own wavelength.

Morgana, the demon in front of us, does not carry that blessing. That’s why she was captured so easily.

Andrey frowned. "How do you know all of this?"

System: Naturally, I know. I am the System. This kind of fundamental information is within my knowledge base. It’s only logical.

Andrey rubbed his temple. ’What kind of logic is that...?’

System: Don’t overthink it too much, Host. The important thing right now is that we have successfully captured a high-ranking demon who likely holds a lot of valuable information. This is a huge stroke of luck.

Andrey glanced at the furious and humiliated Morgana, who was still struggling against the pink chains.

"...There’s no way she’ll give us information that easily."

System: Hehe~ Don’t worry. With me here, we can make it happen. It’s time to conquer this demon and make her submit to you completely.

Andrey stood in silence for a moment, processing everything.

"You mean we use the curse we gave Lumy to subdue her?"

System: Ah, that? It’s partly true. That mark is part of the punishment system for naughty Magical Girls who try to rebel against their.... rewards. It ensures they can’t run away from their obligations too easily~

Andrey’s eye twitched.

System: Which brings us to our current situation. We’re going to turn this demon into a Magical Girl as well. I don’t particularly like the idea of giving power to a demon... but for the sake of information, we can’t afford to lose here. We must not fall behind the demons.

Andrey narrowed his eyes. "Is that even possible?"

System: I don’t know for sure, but we will try. Thanks to the Laplace soul fragment inside you, we can use its power to strengthen her temporarily so she can accept the contract. Since our natures are completely opposite, a normal contract would likely fail or destroy her. But with Laplace’s power... it might just work.

Of course, it will only be a temporary contract similar to what Hope has. But that should be more than enough.

And once the contract is formed... I’ll curse her just like I did with Lumy.

So? What do you think of my plan, Host?

Andrey stared at the bound Morgana for a moment before speaking inwardly to the System.

"Hmm... doesn’t the Magical Girl contract require mutual consent from both sides? What if Morgana doesn’t agree?"

System: Of course it normally does~ But we’re going to use a slightly cunning method, hehehe.

I’ll present the contract as an offer of Laplace’s Blessing. A demon like her, who doesn’t possess any blessing yet, will definitely be tempted. Once she reaches out to accept the "blessing"... we’ll seize control of the contract at that exact moment. Mwahahaha~

Andrey frowned slightly.

’I’m starting to have trouble telling which one is actually the demon...’

System: Ehehe~ Don’t say that, Host. I’m still much better than those filthy demons, okay?

Andrey let out a long sigh.

"...As long as we can extract useful information from her, I don’t care. Do it."

System: Understood~ Preparing the modified contract now...

Morgana, who had been silently observing Andrey with a cold, mocking smile, finally spoke. Her voice was smooth and full of arrogance.

"It’s useless, human. No matter what you try, I won’t tell you anything. You can torture me, threaten me, or do whatever you want, I will never betray my kind."

She smirked, her red eyes gleaming with defiance despite being bound.

"You’re wasting your time."

Andrey stood in front of the bound Morgana, his expression calm but cold. He decided to play along with the System’s plan while trying to extract information.

"Tell me about the golden-eyed man," he said directly. "Where is he now?"

Morgana let out a low, mocking laugh. Her crimson lips curled into a disdainful smile.

"You think I’ll just tell you? How naive. A mere human like you has no right to ask me anything."

Andrey’s eyes narrowed. He stepped closer and summoned his Ki Blade, pressing the glowing edge against her neck.

"If you don’t talk, I can kill you right here."

Morgana didn’t even flinch. Instead, she leaned forward slightly, pressing her neck against the blade with a provocative smile.

"Go ahead then. Kill me. Do you really think my master will let you live after that? Pathetic."

The tension in the room was thick. Andrey’s blade stayed at her throat for a few seconds longer before he slowly lowered it.

At that exact moment, a glowing blue window appeared only in front of Morgana.

[Special Offer]

Laplace’s Blessing – Temporary Empowerment

A rare opportunity to gain a fragment of Laplace’s power.

Do you wish to accept this blessing?

Morgana’s red eyes widened. A delighted, arrogant smile spread across her face.

"Oh my~ Look at that. My master hasn’t abandoned me after all." She laughed softly, full of superiority. "You see, human? Even now, I am still blessed. You can never win against us."

Without hesitation, she reached out and accepted it.

"I accept this blessing."

The moment she confirmed, the System’s trap activated.

System: Contract accepted. Temporary Binding Initiated.

A bright pink chain of light suddenly erupted from Andrey’s hand and wrapped around Morgana’s body. Her arrogant smile instantly froze.

"W-what is this—?!" Morgana’s voice rose in panic. "This isn’t Laplace’s blessing! What did you do to me?!"

The pink chains tightened, glowing brighter as they began to forcibly bind her soul to the contract.

System: Hehe~ Got you~ Welcome to the team, Candidate #5.

Morgana struggled wildly against the chains, her seductive face twisted in rage and disbelief.

"You... you tricked me!! Release me right now, you filthy human!!"

Andrey watched silently as the pink light continued to envelop her.

The trap had succeeded.
