Chapter 68: Become a Magical Girl
Luo Yuxi’s expression shifted from confusion to disbelief as she looked at the technologically advanced weapon on the wall and then at Lika, who had confidently uttered those words.
“I don’t think I heard you correctly…”
“The Magical Girl Project~”
“Uh… so it wasn’t a hallucination, it’s really called that…”
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem? Are you intimidated by such an awesome name~?”
Luo Yuxi thought about the magical girls she had seen in anime, which were clearly different from this. She looked at the close-fitting armor, the short swords and blades. Ping Yue approached from the table where she had been working.
“Bishop…”
“Are the preparations complete? Time is of the essence…”
Lika turned, knowing who it was from the sound of her footsteps. Her other senses had become sharper after losing her sight. Luo Yuxi looked at Ping Yue, thinking she had hoped to find the protagonist at the church, but after two days, she hadn’t found any clues. She needed to talk to Ping Yue.
“The integration of the Magical Girl armor, the abbreviation equation, and the Holy Mark inscription are all complete. We just haven’t conducted any field tests…”
Ping Yue adjusted her glasses and handed Luo Yuxi a heart-shaped pink device. Looking at the pink color, the cute packaging, and the heart design, Luo Yuxi felt a headache coming on.
“How can they say that name with a straight face? And that device, it can’t be what I think it is, right…?”
Luo Yuxi watched as Lika took the device, which looked suspiciously like a magical girl transformation item, and walked towards her.
“Here, put it on and become a magical girl~”
“…”
Lika handed her the device. Luo Yuxi looked at the “transformation item,” her mind reeling. Not only had she transmigrated into a death game, but she also had to become a magical girl, a high-risk occupation.
“Um… can I ask, what is this…?”
“This is the activation device for the Magical Girl armor. Just say the code phrase and turn the dial to equip it…”
“Why does it look like this? And the color…”
“Originally, they designed it as a cube, but I thought it was too plain, so I changed it to a heart shape. Isn’t it cute? The pink matches your hair and eyes~”
Luo Yuxi looked at Lika’s innocent smile and wondered if her eyes, hidden behind the cloth, truly held such innocence.
“Although I can’t see you, I heard your pink hair is like flowers, and your eyes are like beautiful pearls. With this transformation item, you must look stunning~”
Lika placed the device in Luo Yuxi’s hand, her gentle tone disarming Luo Yuxi’s prepared refusal. It’s just the appearance and name that are a bit much. The armor itself looks cool.
“Alright, with such powerful equipment, I have no reason to refuse…”
“Wonderful, I knew you wouldn’t. This will offer you more protection~”
“So, what’s the code phrase…?”
Luo Yuxi thought that with this armor, her chances of survival would greatly increase. Although she had passive resurrection, she didn’t want to die so easily. She was about to ask about the code phrase when a piece of paper was handed to her.
“Hmm? What’s this?”
“Bishop Lika asked me to write down the code phrase. It’s too long, so I wrote it on paper…”
Ping Yue handed her the paper and left without another word, seemingly uninterested.
“This Ping Yue, although a Punishment Nun, is also a genius researcher. I brought her here to help with the project. She’s not interested in anything besides witches…”
Luo Yuxi recalled that in the game, Ping Yue only served as a guide and rarely appeared afterwards. She hadn’t expected her to be a research fanatic. She had wanted to ask about the protagonist, but it seemed she would have to wait.
“What’s written here? The handwriting is so messy…”
“Researchers tend to have messy handwriting. If only I could see, I would read it for you~”
“It’s just a code phrase. Let’s see… Oh, great and almighty Goddess, please grant me your divine power, let me…”
Luo Yuxi’s voice trailed off, her face burning with embarrassment. She couldn’t bring herself to finish reading the cringe-worthy lines.
“Um… did I get the wrong paper…?”
“Judging by what you just read, it’s the right one. I wrote those lines, how are they~?”
Lika smiled confidently. Luo Yuxi wondered if she was doing this on purpose. Such embarrassing lines, she couldn’t say them out loud. Imagining having to pause mid-battle to recite this and transform, she cringed.
“Oh, I was just joking. The code phrase is just for fun. You can just press the button~”
“I knew it, being normal is better…”
Luo Yuxi turned the dial, and a pink light enveloped her. As the light faded, her nun’s habit had been transformed into armor.
“Why does this armor look different from the one on the wall…?”
Luo Yuxi looked at the breastplate and the few pieces of armor around her waist. Her stomach and back were exposed, and her stockings were now just leg rings. The cannons and weapons from the armor on the wall were missing.
“Isn’t this just a kinky outfit?!“
