"What exactly is a magical girl?" Altrouge looked at Haru, completely puzzled.

"You don't know what a magical girl is? Altrouge? Have you never read magical girl manga?" Haru looked at Altrouge with astonishment, as if looking at some rare species.

"Manga? Magical girl?" Hearing these unfamiliar terms, Altrouge supported her forehead, frowning slightly, and began to connect to the World, drawing relevant knowledge about manga and magical girls.

Natural Spirits with True Ancestor bloodlines could call upon the World, and upon receiving a response, directly acquire relevant information.

Of course, this ability was far inferior to Haru's capability of freely browsing the Counter Force's records.

"Human-conceived world manga? Aimed at girls? Childish? Idol worshipped by immature girls..."

Altrouge, her mind stuffed with a large amount of magical girl works, abruptly slammed the table, anger finally showing on her delicate face.

"Altrouge, you're the very definition of a magical girl!" Haru remarked.

"Where do I resemble that naive and ignorant magical girl!!!" Altrouge abruptly stood up, lightly patting her slightly developed chest, her tone suddenly rising sharply as she questioned Haru.

"Age 10-14, during the onset of secondary characteristics." Haru pointed at Altrouge's slightly developed chest.

Altrouge paused slightly, stunned. Her usual form was indeed that of a fourteen-year-old loli...

"Accompanied by a pet with a strange but exceptionally cute appearance." His index finger shifted towards Fou, who was wagging its tail beside her.

Altrouge's expression immediately paled slightly. She wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out for a long moment.

"Able to use magic to transform into another person, or grow into a beautiful young woman!" Haru spread his hands, as if concluding his presentation.

A deep blush spread across Altrouge's exquisitely crafted face. Her greatest trump card—her secondary transformation—was precisely the ability to instantly morph from a loli form into a mature, voluptuous 'Onee-san', perfectly matching the transformation ability of a magical girl.

"So you see, Altrouge, stop denying it. You're a bona fide magical girl, the type of young protagonist who transforms under holy light waving a magic wand." Haru sipped his black tea, looking teasingly at Altrouge.

Altrouge's eyes darted around continuously, constantly thinking of rebuttals, her face growing redder. After a long while, she was dismayed to find herself actually unable to refute him.

"..." Altrouge instantly turned gray, petrified.

"Uwaah~~ Damn manga artists! Just you wait! How dare you slander me, a member of the Brunestud royalty, like this!" Altrouge abruptly buried her head onto the tabletop, as if suffering a major blow.

Watching Altrouge face-plant on the table, Haru leaned down with a wicked smile, emphasizing near her ear, "Altrouge, can you let me see you transform?"

Her ear suddenly assaulted by moist air, Altrouge's body stiffened abruptly. She snapped her head up, looking at Haru with shame and anger.

A drop of crimson blood suddenly appeared beside her, instantly expanding, transforming into a rapier constructed of blood, its point resting against Haru's neck.

"Say that again?" Altrouge glared angrily at Haru, her right hand pressing down slightly, the sword tip touching his neck.

"Surrender, I surrender." Haru quickly raised his hands in a surrender pose.

"Huu~~ Huu~~ Huu~~"

Altrouge took several deep breaths, downed a cup of black tea, and glared at Haru with eyes tinged with dissatisfaction.

"You're completely unsurprised by my blood manipulation. You should be someone aware of Magi, yet not a Magus yourself, correct?" Altrouge stated decisively.

The reason Altrouge made this judgment was because she couldn't sense any magical energy within Haru's body, and also because she had managed to suck a trace of his blood during the hypnosis.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

In this world, Altrouge believed no one could escape her perception of blood. In Haru's blood, she only sensed the presence of life force, without any trace of magical energy.

Altrouge, confident in her own perception, naturally assumed Haru was someone related to the magus world.

Haru nodded.

"Well then... are you aware of the Snake of Akasha—Roa?" Altrouge asked tentatively.

"I've heard of him. After all, he's one of the Twenty-seven Ancestors. But I haven't actually seen him," Haru nodded.

"Very good, saves me the explanation. That infinite snake has reincarnated into your body. You should understand the severity of the situation," Altrouge leaned back slightly, resting against the wooden chair, crossing her arms, supporting her slight curves.

Before Haru could respond, Altrouge continued proudly, "There are two solutions. First, I kill you directly. Second, you sign a contract and become a direct subordinate of me, the Ninth Ancestor—Altrouge Brunestud. There is no third option."

"Eh, looks like I only have the second option to choose from. Well then, after becoming a subordinate, what benefits or compensation do I get?" Haru rubbed his chin, speaking seriously.

"I save your life, grant you the glory of being directly subordinate to me—and you don't even want to repay me, yet you want to discuss compensation?" Altrouge looked contemptuously at Haru, speaking indignantly.

Haru's mouth twitched as he looked at the indignant Altrouge before him. If he hadn't previously seen Altrouge's infatuation with his blood, Haru might have actually believed her nonsense.

"No compensation, no deal!" Haru replied, stood up, and walked towards the door.

"Wait a moment!!" Seeing Haru leave without hesitation, knowing he was playing hard to get, Altrouge ultimately couldn't resist the craving for his blood when he reached the door.

Haru turned around to look at Altrouge. "Have you thought about the compensation?"

Altrouge immediately showed hesitation on her face. After a long moment, looking as if she were making a painful sacrifice, she lightly patted Fou's smooth back.

"You can play with Fou however you like. Is that acceptable?"

"Awoo~" Fou immediately stood up straight, barked cheerfully, and continuously wagged its fluffy tail.
