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

But hypnosis really works!

"Don't misunderstand, this power doesn't belong to you."

Just then, a cool, slightly arrogant, and familiar voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"Eh?!"

Ling Yuwei was startled and subconsciously looked around, only to see an empty alley and a menacing beast across the street.

.........

"It's not enough."

While the girl was momentarily stunned by the sudden, mysterious voice, Lynn, who was watching the girl's battle through the makeup mirror on the table in the school infirmary, shook her head.

That's right. Although Ling Yuwei had run quite a distance from the school, she hadn't escaped the perception range of Lynn, a villain with special mental abilities. The moment the magical girl transformed, Lynn sensed the magical power emanating from her and used the magic mirror to watch her fight.

This is a fairly classic setup: while the villainous fighters are battling the protagonist group, a bunch of scoundrels in the shadowy lair of the monsters watch from behind a mirror, pointing and whispering.

In this world, combatants can use a special medium to allow a specially modified mirror to receive images of the battle.

Real-time transmission, high-definition picture quality, or Blu-ray 4K with no delay.

As for when the magical girl acquired the medium, it was of course the glass of water that Lynn handed to Irene when she first entered the infirmary.

It contained a triggering medium, originally intended for future monitoring of magical girls, but it ended up being used now.

Lynn didn't really understand the specific principles, he had only heard Lianminqing mention it as some kind of nanotechnology.

At this moment, although Eileen had repelled the monstrous beast with a single blow and her power had increased significantly, Lynn still did not believe that she could win.

After all, although the opponent's strength had improved a lot compared to his previous self, it was still far from being as good as Xiao Kui's that day.

It's clearly not enough to deal with a single beast that's completely devoured.

Knowing this, Lynn still suppressed the urge to intervene and did not immediately offer assistance.

For well-known reasons, an unpopular third magical girl has appeared in the city, and Lynn doesn't want to transform and interact with her for the time being.

Also, he wanted to see, now that the system said the hypnosis was successful, what level could you achieve, Eileen?

Lynn squinted, leaned back in his chair, and looked through the window into the dark alley where starlight occasionally surged.

...............

Meanwhile, in the dark alley.

When she came to her senses, the girl felt as if she had been pulled into a special space. The surrounding reality receded like the tide, and everywhere there were ice-blue starlight dancing like fireflies. However, here, Eileen was still in the form of Ling Yuwei, an ordinary girl who had not transformed, wearing a school uniform and feeling a vulnerability that was completely different from her transformed state.

Not far away, on the opposite side, stood the girl he often saw, dressed in the magical girl Irene's battle suit.

The ice-blue armor outlined her graceful figure, and her long silver-blue hair moved without wind. However, this time, the girl saw the other person's face clearly for the first time.

It was a face exactly like her transformed form, with flowing silver-blue hair, bright sapphire blue eyes, and a beautiful face. She stood with her arms crossed and her chin slightly raised, but her arrogant attitude was completely different from that of the always gentle and humble Eileen.

"It's you?"

Ling Yuwei spoke in surprise, her voice sounding somewhat ethereal in this strange space.

"What are you doing here? Where is this?"

She looked around at the boundless space that shimmered with starlight.

"How slow-witted!"

"Eileen" curled her lip, her tone filled with undisguised disdain. She raised her hand, gently tossing her long hair, the ends of which were speckled with ice crystals, before looking at the other person with a hint of mockery in her sapphire blue eyes.

"Haven't you realized who I am yet?"

"you are?"

The girl became increasingly confused.

"Sigh, so it's really frustrating that the host is an idiot,"

"Eileen" sighed dramatically and held her forehead.

Then, she raised her right hand and pointed at Yuwei, who seemed completely unaware of everything.

"Idiot, remember this: I am you, I am the real magical girl Irene, and you can call me by the name you prefer."

A smile played at the corners of her lips, her eyes sparkling with an indescribable allure.

"Rainbow Crystal Flower".

Rainbow crystal flowers?!

Upon hearing this answer, Ling Yuwei was struck dumb, her eyes widening in shock. The other party actually said that she was his rainbow crystal flower?

This realization completely overturned her imagination.

"Otherwise, what have you always thought I was?"

"Eileen" snorted coldly and crossed her arms.

"I thought you were just a fantasy..."

Ling Yuwei said, blushing.

The voice from the iridescent crystal flower that I could never hear was actually this hallucination that kept chattering in my ear.

How would the girl think of this result?

"Hey, so you're just an idiot! How did I end up with you as my host?!"

"Eileen" impatiently raised her hand and tapped her temple, clearly annoyed by the other party's slowness.

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"

The girl suddenly said.

"what?"

"Eileen" raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that she would ask such a question.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that you were my rainbow crystal flower? I'm sorry, I'm not blaming you,"

Seemingly afraid of being misunderstood, Ling Yuwei quickly waved her hand.

"But, but I always thought I couldn't hear your voice."

Her voice grew softer and softer, almost a murmur, carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance. This caused the previously domineering "Eileen" to fall silent slightly, her impatience lessening somewhat.

Unable to hear the true thoughts of the Rainbow Crystal Flower, the girl began to have great doubts about her identity and qualifications as a magical girl. However, even so, she carefully protected this secret, carried out a mission that was not her own, and maintained a fragile peace as a magical girl.

Perhaps only I can truly understand the feelings this person is experiencing.

"Because I can't do it."

"Rainbow Crystal Flower," or "Eileen" said.

Although she did not apologize, her voice softened slightly.

"Why can't I do it?"

Ling Yuwei pressed for an answer, leaning slightly forward.

"Of course it's your fault!"

Upon hearing this, "Eileen" immediately became agitated again, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"From the moment you questioned whether you were a real magical girl, I could no longer tell you my true identity. Besides, who told you that I didn't tell you? Didn't I tell you on the very first day you got the Rainbow Magic Stone? What can I do if you don't believe me?!"

She spoke rapidly, her words laced with long-suppressed resentment.

"Yes, yes?"

Ling Yuwei shrank back, startled by the shout, and tried to search her memory.

Wait, could it be that the "telling" she was referring to was the time on the first day after she transformed, when she knew nothing and was beaten up by the villainous combatant, exhausted and falling asleep instantly in bed, only to be repeatedly beaten up by the same person in her dream?

In my memory, after beating me to my knees, the guy in front of me seemed to be sitting on me, legs crossed, laughing and saying something:

Comments like, "A magical girl who can't even beat her own magic stone is just a weakling~?"

Did that actually happen?!

I always thought it was just a fantasy or nightmare caused by excessive stress!

But then again, putting yourself in the other person's shoes, the host is constantly hesitating about whether or not to give up on you, and you can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything about it, which is quite despairing.

No wonder the other person seemed more irritable each day; now I know why...

As for why she couldn't say it before, but can now, the girl isn't stupid; she's already guessed it.

Is it because of that hypnosis?

Unexpectedly, Lynn's seemingly unserious hypnosis actually seemed to have a miraculous effect.

"Feel sorry."

Ling Yuwei sincerely apologized.

The girl, who seemed to want to say something more, simply smoothed her long hair and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Hmph, I was originally planning to teach you a lesson, but what can I say now that you've said that? Oh well, you've learned your lesson."

"and,"

"Eileen" abruptly changed the subject, her icy blue eyes fixed on the other person, her gaze sharp.

"Now, you have more important things to do, don't you?"

Slightly startled, even without transforming, those light brown eyes instantly understood what the other was thinking, and then, the flame of determination reignited within them.

"Ah."

Ling Yuwei nodded heavily.

At this moment, although their conversation seemed rather long, they had entered a world similar to "flow".

This is a space that belongs exclusively to thought and soul, a world where time is stretched out.

In the real world, however, time only passes in a few moments, a few instants.

In other words, the disgusting monster that was hit and embedded in the wall is still struggling to get up, preparing to fight back and cause even greater damage to the city.

The only ones who can stop it are ourselves here, no, they are ourselves.

She is Irene, a magical girl who can unleash her true name!

"My partner, I'm counting on you then,"

Their eyes met, their hearts connected. The girl raised her hand, clenched her fist, and extended her hand to the girl before her who looked exactly like her.

"Please lend me your power!"

"That's not a problem,"

"Eileen" looked at the outstretched hand, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her beautiful face was like a snow lotus blooming on a glacier, a cold beauty tinged with warmth.

"Logically speaking, once you know my real name, you'll be qualified to use my true power. However, don't think I'm just anyone. I have conditions too. If you really are me, you should be able to guess, right?"

She tilted her head, a hint of slyness in her eyes.

"That kind of thing is natural."

Faced with the other party's bargaining behavior, Ling Yuwei, or rather, the magical girl Irene, not only did not feel displeased or dissatisfied, but instead smiled slightly.

Because what the other party said was not wrong.

They were originally one, two people of one mind and body. At this moment, the harmony between their souls and hearts had reached its peak!

The icy blue starlight flickered violently, surrounding them. The originally scattered blue light had gathered together, like an icy blue tornado.

Now is the time to make a commitment!

“I promise I will use your power wisely,”

Ling Yuwei took a deep breath, her expression solemn, and spoke in a tone as if making a vow.

"Protect peace, protect the city, and safeguard everything we cherish!"

However, the next second, a casual voice caused the girl, who had painstakingly built up her emotions, to instantly break down:

"Ah, I don't really care about that kind of thing."

Eileen picked at her ear, looking uninterested, and casually shook the beast, causing the icy blue vortex to scatter all over the ground.
