Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

"[email protected] me 4, no, 3@ will do."

Miko cautiously announced a number: she could earn 3@ in a few hours, which was a very generous reward for someone in the dungeon.

Lu Chaoge didn't say much, but simply rubbed the gloomy girl's messy hair and then transferred 5@ to her.

He didn't explain much; a prosthetic body installed by a magical girl herself using her abilities was worth the price.

Lu Chaoge felt no rejection from his body and, sensing the strong heartbeat and the prosthetic body full of electromechanical energy, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Although he didn't know exactly what Miko's abilities were, he figured they must be related to machinery in some way.

Otherwise, how could one transform this originally unsuitable prosthetic body into one that truly belongs to oneself?

This left Miko somewhat at a loss, and she quickly said, "No need for so much. There are still some defective prosthetic bodies left in this corpse you left behind. Miko can process them and sell them for money..."

Miko felt increasingly guilty as she spoke, because upon closer reflection, she realized that the corpse contained a nervous system, a prosthetic eye, and a mechanically modified genital organ—all of which Lu Chaoge didn't want.

Lu Chaoge has his own set of company products for his nervous system, which has been modified by [Xiao], so of course he won't change it.

Miko thought about it again and again, and decided that she still couldn't make this money, so she tried to persuade her.

"Let me help you put on your prosthetic eye. Don't you only have one prosthetic eye?"

"No need, one is enough. I want to retain my biological vision."

"Then I'll install a genital device for you; it has a motor on it."

"No need... I'm strong, I don't need that thing."

"Miko knows, I've checked your body and it's really great, but one more wouldn't hurt!"

Lu Chaoge was sweating profusely in an instant. Seeing that Mi Zi seemed to be very serious about adding clothes to him, he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, where's Meow-chan? She usually comes with you, but the shop wasn't open when we came over."

"Nyan-chan..." Miko paused, her already gloomy expression turning even more somber.

"She ran away from home."

------

The black raincoat completely covered Miao-chan's body, even her face, leaving only her eyes visible.

There were many messages from Miko-chan on the communication system. Meow-chan looked at them for a while, but didn't respond. She just gave the other person a thumbs up to indicate that she had seen them.

Meow-chan did not return to the Magical Girl Association.

There are some things that Meow-chan just can't understand no matter how hard she tries.

She saw the news and saw that unfamiliar magical girl.

She remembers that day, she ran out of the house in a very disheveled state and brushed past the other person on the street.

Although it's unclear what the other party did, there's no doubt that she directly destroyed the cake shop.

The internet was flooded with insults, but the "victims" who were interviewed were unusually refrain from criticizing the magical girl, and didn't even utter a few insults.

They're just relentlessly using traffic to aggressively promote their own products.

The Magical Girl Association is taking drastic measures to withstand the pressure, having shut down all social media platforms. The company's investors are furious, but that's about it; their IT department can't find the magical girl.

The bounty on the black market for that magical girl has now reached 5000.

The bounty increased, but the search of the dungeon slowed down. Perhaps it was because the magical girl had appeared on the surface, or perhaps it was because the magical girl seemed to be stronger and more ruthless than they had expected.

She really will take action.

To survive and escape from an encirclement by a team of NCPD members... this is no ordinary magical girl.

Even the NCPD couldn't catch her, so are we expecting the mercenaries in the dungeon with their cheap prosthetic bodies to capture her?

The magical girl phenomenon remains incredibly popular online in District 43, all thanks to a user named [MomoMotis] who keeps stirring things up and has just posted a new thread.

[A rational discussion: Could this strange magical girl defeat the mechanically armed Tyrannosaurus Rex?]

Miao Jiang was speechless. Why did this post manage to reach the top of the rankings? Are people these days so bored?

Let's look at the second place.

If this powerful magical girl were your wife/husband, would you accept her?

There are two options below: "Yes" and "No".

Miao-chan hesitated for a moment, then inexplicably chose "Yes".

The third post was also about magical girls, and the fourth one too...

Although the content was outrageous, thanks to the persistent efforts of [MomoMotis] in stirring up trouble, the criticism of magical girls decreased significantly.

Okay, actually it hasn't decreased; everyone's criticizing Meow-chan.

Meow-chan didn't understand. The magical girl was clearly more in line with their description of "brutality," so why were they all criticizing her?

She wanted to be alone.

Meow-chan neither returned to the Magical Girl Association's residence nor went to her shop.

She chose to go 'home' for a visit.

Although it's called home, it was actually just where she used to live in the underground city.

Like all magical girls, Nyanko-chan also started out with a wonderful family.

The father who solicits customers, the mother who sells medicine, the younger brother who works as a prostitute, and her broken heart.

The family may not be extremely wealthy, but they live a simple and enjoyable life.

It's a chaotic but wonderful family. Meow-chan feels very lucky. After all, having a home in the dungeon is already a blessing, and you can't ask for too much.

Unfortunately, she awakened and became a magical girl.

From that day on, everything changed.

Fortunately, she was in District 43. At the time of her awakening, the president of the Magical Girl Association was collecting relief food by the roadside and risked his life to bring her back.

What happened after that, Miao Jiang doesn't know. Her family suffered too much harassment and left the city. Perhaps they died, perhaps they didn't.

Today, she wants to go home and visit.

She made her way through the chaotic crowd to a messy apartment.

"8@10?" Meow-chan muttered to herself, staring at the rental and sales prices on the screen.

She remembers that in the past, you could have a nice 30-square-meter apartment with a private bathroom for just 4 square meters.

The elevator cable in the apartment building had been stolen, so she had to use the open-air staircase.

When they arrived at the door of the old apartment, a noisy sound came through the door, and Miao-chan was stunned.

"Damn it! You want to argue with me?! Do you think you can beat me at that?!"

"Come on, you 'Land-based Sword Immortal,' huh? I'd like to see how many mothers you have!"

Meow-chan knows there are already people inside.

Yes, it's been so long, the apartment should have been rented out long ago.

Hearing that irritable tone, Miao-chan didn't dare to make any move and chose to leave silently.

With a snap, the door was pushed open.

Metis poked his head out of the room and looked at Meow-chan with a puzzled expression.

"What have you been standing outside for so long? Looking for my older brother?"

Miao-chan didn't reply, but simply tightened the hem of her clothes covering her face, then turned and ran away.

She is a registered magical girl, and her appearance, both in her true form and as a magical girl, has long been known to the public.

So before, in the weapon shop, she could only appear as a person from the anime/manga world.

Leaving the corridor and feeling the gaze from behind disappear, Meow-chan stood on the stairs and breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's leave here...

As Miao Jiang was thinking this, she was about to go down the stairs when she heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from below.

"Who's so rude, stealing cables? I pay 8 yuan a month in rent and have to climb the stairs!"

Meow-chan recognizes that voice.

For some reason, a hint of panic appeared on her face.

She didn't want Lu Chaoge to know that she was a magical girl.

But she quickly calmed down.

It's okay, dressed like this, the other person definitely won't recognize me.

She wrapped herself up completely, and then started playing anime music in her brain.

【まだこの世界は】

【Servantをfeedいならしていたいみたいだ】

Miao-chan immersed herself in the music, then calmly walked down the stairs.

At the corner of the stairs, Miao Jiang met Lu Chaoge.

She glanced at the other person without saying a word, and walked down the side of the stairs.

Lu Chaoge paused for a moment for some reason, then silently walked upstairs.

'He really didn't recognize me,' Meow-chan thought to herself.

On the open-air staircase, two figures brushed past each other.

When the two reached the corner of the stairs again, Miao Jiang subconsciously glanced up at the stairs.

But he found Lu Chaoge standing there, turning around and looking at him with a frown.

She didn't understand why Lu Chaoge wanted to turn back.

Did he find me?

Meow-chan was startled and let out a soft, meaningless sound.

"Huh?"

Lu Chaoge leaned back slightly and let out a soft "uh".

"Well."

"Huh?"

"Well."

"Huh?"

For some reason, Meow-chan's eyes suddenly lit up.

An open-air staircase, passageways leading up and down, men and women glancing back at each other.

As a long-time anime fan, I immediately thought, isn't this the famous scene from "Kimi's Asthma"?

However, Lu Chaoge finally couldn't stand it anymore. Was this cat idiot? How could music playing in her brain leak out?

"Meow-chan, are you cosplaying by wrapping yourself up like this? I've never heard of cosplay being a part of this area."

"Hey hey hey, how did you recognize me?!" Meow-chan exclaimed in surprise, backing away in fright.

Oh no, he's found out I'm a magical girl...

I don't know why it ended, but I just don't want him to find out!

However, Lu Chaoge's expression was complicated when faced with Miao Jiang's question.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and spoke after a few breaths of silence.

"Your anime/manga vibe is so strong it's practically overflowing."
