What a joke! Magical girls, just obediently get hypnotized!

Even if she might lose her magical girl identity after being exposed, and be accused of being a liar by her friends, Ling Yuwei, no, Irene the magical girl, absolutely cannot accept that the name of magical girl be tarnished because of her!

Not a magical girl,

Just as Lin En was not a true villainous cadre, Ling Yuwei was not a true magical girl.

This is the biggest secret that the girl has kept hidden since the moment she became a magical girl.

Now, she has told these words to the person she trusts most.

Whatever the outcome, she will accept it with equanimity!

"Hmph! I hope you won't regret it."

Seemingly intimidated by the girl's determination, the figure said nothing more, and even its form gradually began to turn into ice crystals and dissipate piece by piece.

But then, facing the girl who had already put in 120% determination and had an expression that said "do whatever you want with me," Lynn's answer surprised the girl.

"Okay, I get it now."

Lynn nodded and responded calmly.

"Eh?!"

The girl was stunned for a moment, feeling as if her brain had gone blank.

To reveal this secret, the girl made the greatest decision. She clenched her fists, pressed her lower lip tightly, and her legs were trembling. Revealing this secret had exhausted all her courage, and she had also imagined many possible reactions from the other person.

Shock, anger, contempt...

Perhaps it was her disappointment in herself, or perhaps it was her anger after going to great lengths to confront a conman, but even if Lynn were to punish her, turning her into a mere "hoohoo" weapon like a rag, she wouldn't complain at all.

But she never expected the other party to react this way, so... indifferent.

But that's not all, Eileen's shock is far from over!

"What are you mumbling about? No wonder you were so nervous, I thought something was wrong."

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"Then, I'll turn you into a real magical girl, won't that be better?"

"Eh?!" x2

This time, not only was Ling Yuwei's mouth agape in an "O" shape, but even the dark, icy blue figure that had been lurking behind her and thought to have vanished instantly re-condensed was stunned, its expression blank.

In contrast to the magical girl who had expended immense courage, Lynn smiled slightly, then leaned back comfortably in the school nurse's large chair, the back creaking softly. Then, as if meeting for the first time, the elegant villain slowly, with a sense of ceremonial declaration, slightly raised one index finger, then gently lowered it, like the moment the first domino was toppled:

I said,

His tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable force.

"I'll turn you into a real magical girl, Magical Girl Irene."

Chapter 35: The Path to Redemption Lies Within

"You... Lynn, are you serious?!"

Ling Yuwei stared at Lin En in shock.

This was definitely her deepest secret and hidden danger, but unexpectedly, what seemed to her to be the biggest troublesome secret was spoken of so casually by Lynn.

"You should at least give it a try, shouldn't you?"

Lynn smiled.

"However, you must first tell me why you say you are not a real magical girl."

Upon hearing the question, the girl subconsciously bit her lower lip, but this time, without much hesitation, she spoke again.

Since you've already decided to trust the other person, there's nothing to hesitate about.

"Does Lynn know the origin of magical girls?"

Ling Yuwei asked.

Are you suggesting we start the story from the creation of the world by Pangu?

Lynn frowned.

Fortunately, the girl's story wasn't very long.

"Legend has it that in a secret realm somewhere in the world, there is a magic tree. When the world needs a new magical girl, a golden leaf inscribed with a magical proverb will fall from the magic tree. The first living being that leaf touches will become a spirit beast. The spirit beast will then, according to the proverb, carry a rainbow magic stone containing magical power to find the girl destined to become a magical girl who can resonate with the magic stone."

As Ling Yuwei spoke, she untied a silver chain from her fair swan neck, and with a gentle tug, pulled out a round gemstone that seemed to emit icy blue particles from between her slightly pert breasts, and handed it to Lin En.

Although I've seen it in the game, I have to say, this design looks way too much like the Eye of God. If Iron Fist comes at me, I'll be the first to report it.

Stroking the gemstone that still seemed to faintly exude a milky scent, Lynn suddenly thought of a question, cleared his throat, and couldn't help but ask:

"Wait a minute, Yuwei."

Qi Liu (one) s?a」n?< Er Er??jiu Er “Ah?”

The interrupted girl stared intently at Lynn, not missing a single word he said.

"You said the first living creature Ye Zi comes into contact with will turn into a strange (six?) spirit beast, but are there any ferrets in our L City?"

Lynn said in a serious tone.

"It's...it's the zoo..."

The girl seemed surprised that Lynn would ask such a question.

"Okay," Lynn nodded. "That makes sense."

Lynn thought it was a weasel that had been transformed into a ferret, so he'd have to see what kind of spirit beast and magical girl it was.

"But according to the prophecy, the first girl the spirit beast finds who resonates with the Philosopher's Stone should become a magical girl, so shouldn't that be you? Why do you say you're an unqualified magical girl?"

Lynn asked again.

"The problem lies here,"

Ling Yuwei couldn't help but slap her forehead.

"My partner, that child, is Xiaoxue. You should have met her before. Although she is very serious and a good beast, she is just... a little absent-minded."

Thinking about how her teammates had created the perfect opportunity for the little ferret, yet it still tried to directly and without any fancy moves to fight a mental battle with a villainous senior officer who was proficient in hypnosis, Lynn nodded in agreement.

But what does this have to do with what the two of them were talking about?

"That's exactly the problem."

The girl gritted her teeth and blurted out the secret in one breath:

"Because, that child, she actually chose the wrong person. I am not the one who should become a magical girl."

"what?!"

This was somewhat unexpected for Lynn.

“I’ve seen Xiaoxue’s golden leaf of wisdom. She mistook the second floor of the address for the twentieth floor, so she climbed eighteen more floors that night and mistakenly gave me the rainbow magic stone that should have belonged to the girl on the second floor.”

The girl rubbed her forehead.

Hearing this, Lynn really lost her composure. How could such a thing be wrong?

Are these spirit beasts any good?

This is no longer a minor dereliction of duty; we must take strong measures!

Otherwise, let's ask Cupid for help.

"but,"

He asked again,

"Since you know you've been mistaken for someone else, didn't you try to return the Rainbow Magic Stone to its original owner? Why keep it in your possession?"

"I, of course I tried!"

Seemingly afraid that Lynn would think of her as a selfish person who had kept the Philosopher's Stone for herself, the girl quickly explained:

"In fact, the day after I realized my mistake, I planned to return the magic stone to them. However, when I went downstairs, I learned that the family had moved to the European region overnight so that their daughter could study abroad. Last night was their last night in L City, and it was too late for them to return."

The girl held up four fingers and rubbed her forehead.

"It will be at least four years later. Looking at the girl's excited face because she found a partner, I really couldn't bear to tell her that she had the wrong person."

"And even so, I never actually intended to steal the Philosopher's Stone,"

The girl continued,

"Actually, ever since I got the Rainbow Magic Stone, I have been looking for someone who is truly qualified to pick up the Wine Lin VI6 (IV) Liu Qi Ba Er bba. If I really meet such a person, I will definitely tell Xiao Xue the truth and give the magic stone to them."

"So what was the result of your search?"

"Not a single one,"

The girl sighed.

"Not to mention new magical girls who meet the requirements, I haven't even met anyone who can resonate with the rainbow magic stone again."

Thinking of this, gazing at Lynn's handsome face, the girl's cheeks flushed slightly, but she also felt a pang of regret.

I wish Lynn was a girl.

If he were a girl with such noble character, he would definitely be qualified to become a magical girl!

"So that's it."

Lynn, unaware that he had almost lost his younger brother, nodded.

He roughly understood what had happened.

This is the story of how the "wrong" magical girl, Irene, was born.

The Philosopher's Stone can wait four years, but monsters and monsters won't.

Therefore, in order to protect all of this, Ling Yuwei, an ordinary female student whose fate was originally destined to be ordinary, began to be active in the city under the identity of "Eileen," a magical girl who did not belong to her.

However, there is one last question.

"Why do you say you're a fake magical girl?"

Lynn asked.

"Eh?! Of course, this magic stone shouldn't belong to..."

The girl paused for a moment, then immediately replied.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that kind of thing,"

Lynn shook her finger.

"I mean, wouldn't it be better to just go with the flow? Anyway, in these four years, no matter who the Philosopher's Stone was given to, it wasn't the original owner. And you weren't the bad guy who deliberately kept the Philosopher's Stone, so you,"

He pointed to the girl sitting opposite him.

"Why not just stay a magical girl forever?"

In these four years, or at least for four years, someone has to become a magical girl. Why can't she be the girl who first came into contact with the Philosopher's Stone, resonated with it, and became a magical girl?

This is Lynn's line of thinking.

He didn't believe the other person hadn't thought of that.

Sure enough, after hearing Lynn's answer, the girl sitting opposite her didn't seem to wake up from a dream; instead, she lowered her head.

"I can't,"

She stared at her legs pressed together, and gradually increased the pressure with her hands, crumpling her short skirt.

"Because, although I can resonate with the Philosopher's Stone and transform into a magical girl, that's all. As a fake magical girl, I can't hear the true voice of the Philosopher's Stone at all. Therefore, I... I can't [Release My True Name]."

【True Name Release】This is something Lynn has seen before. By calling the true name of the magic stone, a new and stronger power is released. It is a Noble Phantasm release and second stage exclusive to magical girls.

Take Aoi, also known as the magical girl "Daisy," for example. Before and after her true name was revealed, her fighting power was completely different.

She went from being a healer who could only stand in the back and cast buffs to becoming an all-around carry.

Unable to unleash their true names and forced to fight only in their ordinary magical girl form, their abilities are limited no matter how much they hone their skills and combat capabilities.

An uncorrupted Chaos Egg was enough to leave the girl helpless, forcing her to rely on the enemy's help to win. In her battle against herself, the villainous cadre Hypnotist, she was completely crushed.
