Magic is the foundation of a magical girl.
Losing magic means losing everything.
Collapsing from exhaustion, going into shock, or falling into a coma are all unavoidable consequences.
But Luo Tianyou was different; she was a bit special.
She was not currently in her full magical girl form, so her requirement for magic was not as strict.
Even if she lost all her magic, it would only result in extreme weakness.
However, under these circumstances, the Starry Sky Combat Suit was somewhat displeased.
As the power of the former Starry Sky Witch, it had inherited Flora’s magic origin.
It had accumulated magic for over eight years, day after day, yet now it was completely squandered, and Luo Tianyou was still suffering.
It could only instinctively feel that the magic was not enough.
As long as there was enough magic, it could restore Luo Tianyou.
The Starry Sky Combat Suit followed its instincts and began to operate Flora’s magic origin, absorbing the surrounding magic and using it to fill its master’s empty body.
Luo Tianyou suddenly felt a lot lighter.
The blood on her forehead stopped flowing, and the sensation of magic returned to her body.
An illusory combat suit bracelet faintly appeared on her arm.
It was her mother’s power.
Luo Tianyou bit her lip, not expecting her mother’s power to still be helping her at a time like this.
The Starry Sky Combat Suit possessed a certain level of instinct.
Luo Tianyou had known this since the Infinite Analysis Power would activate every time she encountered an unmanageable danger, and how the suit could return even after being worn by Li Huayu.
It was likely because it inherited her mother’s power that it simultaneously possessed a sliver of her mother’s will.
Mother….
Luo Tianyou felt more and more relaxed, yet her heart felt increasingly heavy.
“Mother, you….”
Wait a minute, something was wrong!??
Luo Tianyou’s relaxed body became stiff, and a flush instantly rushed to her cheeks.
Her eyes widened and then quickly narrowed, darting around in panic.
Her chest felt so tight.
She swallowed hard and glanced down.
Her chest, which originally only had a slight curve, was now becoming… full at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Luo Tianyou’s mind went blank.
Can this kind of place just develop whenever it wants?!
The combat suit possessed a sliver of her mother’s will.
Although it wasn’t intelligent, its instincts absolutely knew what the consequences of its actions would be.
Mother, don’t tell me this is also something you wanted to see!
The combat suit was now frantically absorbing magic, wanting to fill the void of magic in Luo Tianyou’s body, to fill her empty body, and to make up for things that never existed before.
Become a real girl.
Become a magical girl!
Ah, right here?
Nooo!!
Luo Tianyou found a sudden burst of strength from nowhere.
She ran fast, moving Li Huayu, Chen Jie, and Chen Xiaoyu away from the residential area and out of Moonlight Ruri’s line of sight.
“Huff… huff~~”
Luo Tianyou was now drenched in sweat.
She plopped down on the ground, completely failing to notice that she had accidentally sat on the communicator Sister Xiao Yuan had given her.
“Little Tianyou, what’s wrong?”
“Huff… haha.. mmhmm..”
“Little Tianyou?”
“Oh ho ho…”
“Uh… Little Tianyou?”
“…..waaaaaah…..”
Xiao Yuan pursed her lips and began to ponder the sounds coming from the other end of the communicator and what exactly was happening.
She was currently performing the final step of the Kyriel purification and knew about the situation in West City.
However, Moonlight Ruri was there, and she could feel that the other woman’s power had been restored, so she wasn’t worried.
But what did this call mean?
Was she telling her that she was currently having a good time, so don’t disturb her?
But if that was the case, why call?
Xiao Yuan didn’t understand, but she showed respect.
Since it was Little Tianyou’s idea, she would let her be for now.
Xiao Yuan listened silently, slowly increasing the magic in her hands.
The Kyriel located in the suburbs had shrunk to a critical point and only needed a little more force to be annihilated.
However, Xiao Yuan wasn’t sure if it would be completely eliminated.
After all, even that magical girl who borrowed the light of all the children in the world couldn’t completely destroy a Kyriel.
Perhaps this thing simply couldn’t be thoroughly destroyed.
The sounds in her ear continued.
It sounded a bit painful, yet a bit enjoyable.
She still couldn’t figure out what Luo Tianyou was thinking.
However, at this moment, she began to use her limited knowledge to imagine some scenarios.
Soon, Xiao Yuan realized a problem.
There was only Luo Tianyou’s voice.
So she was having fun alone?
In a place like that, to still have such thoughts, Little Tianyou really had some style.
She had better quickly finish things here and go find her.
—
At this moment.
Luo Tianyou clutched her stomach, her cheeks crimson, her soft chest rising and falling violently.
The changes in her body made her limbs feel weak and her head dizzy; she even seemed to be hallucinating.
She felt as if her mother, Flora, was standing beside her, clapping her hands and smiling as she said: “Wow! My Little Tianyou is finally starting to grow! You’re going to become a big girl~”
“I used to think that everything about Little Tianyou was good, except that she didn’t like to grow taller or develop a chest. Although being small is cute, being big is definitely better.”
“So, big, big, big! Good, good, good! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!”
All of this was just the beginning.
The instincts of the Starry Sky Combat Suit were wilder than Luo Tianyou had imagined.
The magic in the air was no longer enough for it to absorb.
It unhesitatingly pierced into the barrier of the residential area and began to forcefully drag magic out of it.
Normally, this wouldn’t succeed.
The barrier was its own entity, independent of the outside world, not to mention its deep-seated will was a Kyriel.
However, it just so happened that Moonlight Ruri was the one controlling the barrier now.
To her, this demand felt like Luo Tianyou’s longing.
I want magic, waaaaah!!
Moonlight Ruri’s lips curled up slightly.
I’ll give it to you!
Although Moonlight Ruri didn’t know how Luo Tianyou sensed that she was now in control of the barrier, it didn’t matter.
At least Luo Tianyou was willing to ask her for help.
Moonlight Ruri began to manipulate the barrier, releasing the magic within and letting Luo Tianyou absorb it at will.
The barrier’s magic flooded into Luo Tianyou’s body, swallowed and transformed by the suit, attempting to use magic to completely fill every void in Luo Tianyou’s body and push her toward that perfect, complete, and flawless magical girl form.
However, a fundamental obstacle could not be crossed.
Pure accumulation of magic could not create or complete certain traits closely related to the essence of life and the form of the soul out of thin air.
Luo Tianyou’s life form had been guided and set when she first put on the suit; she was a magical girl, but she was currently in a special state of balance.
The suit could guide her toward femininity, strengthen her magic, and shape her physique, but outside of actively maintaining the magical girl form, it could not directly generate complete female primary sex characteristics on her body out of thin air—those were deeper laws of life, bound to the transformation mechanism and soul identity.
To bypass these rules, a body would have to be completely reconstructed.
For the instinct of the suit, or rather, the sliver of will inherited from Flora, it was entirely capable of doing such a thing.
When Li Huayu wore it before, the suit’s instinct had decided she had to be physically intimate with Luo Tianyou to pay her back.
As long as Luo Tianyou didn’t explicitly refuse, it thought it was feasible.
The suit began to use Luo Tianyou’s own aura of flesh and blood as a base and the surging magic as material to start outlining, weaving, and constructing.
First came a hazy outline, like a 3D print, growing upward from the ankles.
Long, straight legs, a slender and strong waist, followed by a breathtakingly curved, full, and perky chest, rounded shoulders, a slender neck….
The features gradually became clear, seventy percent similar to Luo Tianyou, yet more mature.
The brows held less childishness and more of a unique charm blended with heroic spirit.
She was also taller than Luo Tianyou, with an elegant posture and fair, lustrous skin.
Long black hair fell down, the tips shimmering with starlight, her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
She was also Luo Tianyou.
She was a Second Body constructed purely from Luo Tianyou’s flesh, blood, and magic, guided by the Starry Sky Combat Suit’s origin and Flora’s will.
Luo Tianyou looked at this mature and beautiful version of herself that had appeared out of thin air with utter shock, her mind a complete blank.
What… is this?!
She could clearly feel a marvelous connection between herself and this new body.
It wasn’t a clone; it was more like having an extra shell completely under her control, like an additional limb.
It seemed her consciousness could switch between these two bodies at any time, yet her soul remained firmly anchored in her current body.
The newborn Second Body had its own magic circulation, composed entirely of starry sky magic, and was perfectly synchronized with Luo Tianyou’s soul fluctuations.
This meant that as long as Luo Tianyou’s consciousness entered this body, she could rely on the power and structure of this body itself, without needing Moonlight Ruri, to independently summon and maintain the Starry Sky Combat Suit and enter a complete magical girl form.
And when she didn’t need to use the magical girl power, she only needed to withdraw her consciousness.
This Second Body, composed purely of magic and her own flesh and blood aura, would turn into a pure magic reserve, returning to her body or being stored in the suit’s origin, waiting for the next condensation and summons.
“Mother… you’re…”
Luo Tianyou stammered, so shocked she couldn’t find the words.
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful body floating quietly beside her, she was both embarrassed and incredulous.
“You made a spare body for me? Why did it become so big, so… beautiful…”
This was definitely intentional on her mother’s part!
As if responding to her thought, the corners of the Second Body’s lips seemed to quirk up in a very subtle, cunning, and satisfied arc.
“Mother!”
Luo Tianyou stomped her foot hard.
She was now becoming more and more familiar with the magic origin in her body and could begin to directly feel the suit’s instinct—the sliver of will inherited from Flora.
The suit sent a clear message for the first time.
Luo Tianyou pouted.
“No!”
“Are you doing this on purpose?”
Luo Tianyou puffed out her cheeks.
She was reluctantly willing to give it a try.
Luo Tianyou tried to control the Second Body.
In the next moment, her perspective changed instantly.
First was her field of vision; she could look down from a broader perspective at her own small, flushed body.
Because it had no consciousness, it was slumped on the ground, its head tilted like a fresh doll.
The feeling of looking at herself was so eerie.
Luo Tianyou got goosebumps.
This body was much taller and fuller than her original one.
The wind blew across her exposed arms and neck, bringing a slight chill.
Moving her fingers, the long, fair fingers immediately gave a precise response.
The flow of magic far exceeded any state she had been in before.
It was as if this body was born to carry and release starry sky magic.
She looked down at her chest—the full curves were heavy, rising and falling slightly with her breath.
There was a significant weight pulling on her shoulders.
Her waist was outlined as slender and powerful, and the lines of her legs were long and straight.
Is this really… me?
“Mother… you really are…”
She lowered her head in helpless embarrassment.
The voice coming from the throat of this mature body was lower and softer than her original clear teenage voice, possessing a lazy and charming magnetic quality.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
“Little Tianyou? Or… Big Tianyou?”
It was Xiao Yuan’s voice, sounding extremely confused.
“Eek!”
Luo Tianyou’s consciousness instantly got scared back into her main body, and the Second Body dissipated along with it.
“Sister Xiao Yuan, you… you… why are you here?”
Luo Tianyou was at a loss, not knowing what to cover first.
The crimson flush spread from her neck to the roots of her ears, turning blood-red.
“…You turned on your communicator and didn’t turn it off.”
Xiao Yuan took out the communicator and gave a warm, knowing smile.
“I was wondering why Little Tianyou was being happy alone. So you tinkered with a second version of yourself and then tinkered with yourself? But you have to be moderate; the body won’t be able to take it if it’s too frequent. And… don’t call out ‘Mother.’ No matter how much you like it, you can’t do that. It’s against the rules.”
“It’s not like that!!! Sister Xiao Yuan, it’s not like that! Let me explain!”
Luo Tianyou was so embarrassed she scrambled up, almost jumping in front of Xiao Yuan to explain.
“Mmhmm, I’m listening.”
Xiao Yuan kept nodding.
After several minutes.
Luo Tianyou was almost limp in Xiao Yuan’s arms, nearly fainting from shame.
“Oh, so that’s how it is. You only recently inherited Flora’s magic. No wonder I thought you were a bit silly and didn’t know how to do anything… Oh, I mean, so she moved almost all of her magic origin into the suit, which can be seen as inheriting a sliver of Flora’s consciousness. So all of this was done by Flora, and you were just calling for your mom.”
Xiao Yuan summarized Luo Tianyou’s explanation.
“Yes, Sister Xiao Yuan, stop embarrassing me.”
Luo Tianyou buried her head in Xiao Yuan’s chest, her whole body burning as she spoke softly.
“Flora did all of this. She’s so naughty.”
Xiao Yuan stroked Luo Tianyou’s hair, unable to stifle a laugh.
She made a shushing gesture to Moonlight Ruri, who had just arrived and hadn’t heard any of their conversation.
“Little Tianyou, I have a few questions for you. Otherwise, I’ll tell everyone else what happened just now.”
“No!” Luo Tianyou looked up at Xiao Yuan pitifully.
“Then you have to be obedient.”
“….Okay.”
“Little Tianyou, when are you going to find a partner?”
