Mana Replenishment, as the name suggests, means replenishing one’s Mana.
It was originally a very ordinary act, but in certain circles, it had evolved into something with various heart-pounding and erotic connotations.
This was originally Brother Mahiru’s area of expertise.
However, because she had unfortunately been recommended a galgame by her brother not long ago, she had also gained a thorough understanding of this act full of lewd implications.
The protagonist would be low on Mana and need another Mana-rich character to grant them a portion of it.
However, the method required physical contact between the two.
In the end, they would end up in bed together.
By the time they regained their senses, both would be flushed and panting heavily, looking as if they had just finished an intense battle.
At the thought of having to do such blushing, shameless things with her brother, Xiaoye suddenly felt a chill and couldn’t help but shiver violently.
To be honest, if she had to squeeze into one bed with her brother for a whole night of intimate contact, she would rather take her own life.
Even if her brother had now turned into such a petite and cute little Witch, feeling even better to the touch than a body pillow, her brother was still her brother.
Her memories, her values, and the habits ingrained in her bones were still those of a boy.
How could she possibly do such shameless things in front of her brother?
It was simply impossible!
Unless her brother already considered himself a complete girl.
Xiaoye turned her head slightly, staring shyly at the dazed Mahiru beside her.
Obviously, Mahiru hadn’t reached that level of “becoming a girl at heart” yet.
It had been less than half a day since she turned into a Witch.
Forcing her to discard her original habits and immediately become a fresh girl was simply asking for the impossible.
So…
Xiaoye shook her head hurriedly.
‘Impossible, absolutely impossible! If I hear anything else about Mana Replenishment with my brother, I’ll poke my own eardrums out!’
“Eh? Mana Replenishment?”
However, after Xiaoye’s reminder, Mahiru’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands in approval.
“That’s right! If I don’t have Mana, I can just borrow some from someone else!”
And the only person available right now who met that condition was Xiaoye.
As a Magical Girl specialized in hunting Witches, even if she was currently just a C-rank one you could find anywhere, it was only natural for her to have abundant Mana.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to use Magic to fly around the sky like Phantom Wings.
“Um, Xiaoye, could you lend me some Mana? I’ll pay you back in a few days!”
It was said as casually as if asking a good buddy for money.
However, Xiaoye only stared at her coldly, her eyes filled with unprecedented disgust.
“Brother, do you even realize what you’re saying right now?”
“Hmm? Isn’t it just asking you for some Mana Replenishment? Is there anything strange about that?”
“Why don’t you think about it a bit more?”
“Huh? No, what’s wrong with Mana Replenishment—”
At this point, Mahiru suddenly realized the sheer weight the term “Mana Replenishment” carried.
Countless CG scenes of Mana Replenishment stacked on top of each other, weighing down on Mahiru’s heart like a massive mountain.
Startled, Mahiru took several steps back, waving her hands frantically to explain to Xiaoye.
“No, Xiaoye, I never thought about doing that kind of thing with you! Even a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its burrow. How could I have those kinds of thoughts about my own sister?”
“So you’re saying I’m not even in the running?”
“No, how is that possible? You’re the number one cutest sister in the world! In my heart, you’re undoubtedly in first place! But precisely because of that, it’s impossible for me to have such filthy thoughts about my cute sister! My heart is as clear as a mirror, and the heavens can bear witness!”
Mahiru’s explanation was filled with a desperate will to survive.
She was terrified that if she said the wrong thing, Xiaoye would cut her down in an instant.
Seeing Mahiru sweating profusely and panicking, Xiaoye frowned slightly and then sighed softly.
“Hmph, I figured you didn’t have the guts. Otherwise, you wouldn’t spend all day shut inside as an internet-addicted teen.”
“I feel like I’ve been insulted.”
Although both tried their best to avoid the term “Mana Replenishment,” the conversation inevitably returned to square one.
“Um, Xiaoye, won’t you consider lending your brother some Mana? I don’t need much, just a little. If you give me some Mana, I can play the role of a Witch attacking the city, and then you can defeat me to gain a massive amount of experience.”
“Do you think Mana is like cash that you can just borrow whenever you want?”
“Isn’t it? That’s how it is in galgames! All it takes is a little physical contact, and the Mana flows through a channel into the other person’s body. Of course, the contact doesn’t have to be as overly intimate as it is in the games.”
“Brother, you really need to stop playing those galgames! How can a game be the same as reality? Do you think we haven’t touched each other enough by now? Have you replenished even a bit of Mana so far? If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you right now.”
Saying this, Xiaoye took Mahiru’s hand and interlocked their fingers, gripping tightly.
Suddenly having her hand held this way, Mahiru couldn’t help but blush.
In all her years, she had never had her hand held so intimately by a girl.
“Xiaoye, what are you doing?”
“Shut up and feel it with your heart!”
At Xiaoye’s reprimand, Mahiru obediently shut her mouth with a troubled look.
However, she still didn’t understand what “feeling it with your heart” meant.
What was Xiaoye trying to make her feel?
After half a minute, Xiaoye slowly asked Mahiru.
“Well? Brother, do you feel anything strange flowing into your body?”
“I only feel sweat flowing from my body. I haven’t felt anything flowing in at all. Speaking of which, Xiaoye, do you really have to use such a weird way of describing it?”
“See? What did I tell you? Even if our bodies are in contact, there’s no way to replenish your Mana like this! Besides, I don’t have a single drop of Mana in my body right now. It would be a miracle if you could suck any Mana out of me.”
“Eh? No way. Xiaoye, if you don’t have Mana, then where does the Magic you use when you transform into a Magical Girl come from? It’s not like the Magic you use is free and doesn’t consume Mana!”
“Our Mana comes from our Mobile Phones, of course! After starting the Transformation Program, the Mobile Phone turns into a Magic Wand for us to use. How much Magic we can use depends on the battery level of the phone. If the battery runs out, we immediately revert back to being ordinary girls.”
“Eh? Are Magical Girls really that strange?”
