What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

036 This is a sad decision

Inside Ye Wen's house, in Ye Xia's room.

The girl, already dressed in a nightgown, lay face down on the soft bed, hugging a pillow and watching an anime series on her tablet, her delicate white toes dangling in the air.

Despite wearing headphones, the noise from the next room still made her turn her head, take off her headphones, and stop playing to listen carefully.

*Splat*

crunch.

Splash!

This was probably the noise coming from her good brother Ye Wen's room.

How should I put it? The sound is a bit like dipping your hand into a salad covered in sauce and then vigorously rubbing it.

"Alas……"

Ye Xia, as if struck by a sudden thought, widened her eyes, which symbolized wisdom, and looked in the direction of Ye Wen's room with an "I see" expression: "Onii-chan was playing such a perverted game today."

"Have you been watching some weird stuff lately that's made your tastes more extreme?"

"But it's okay, no matter how perverted Onii-chan is, he's still my favorite Onii-chan."

She clenched her fist towards the room next door.

"Keep it up, brother!"

Although Ye Xia didn't know what she was cheering for.

At this moment, in Ye Wen's room.

Gu Jiangyi huddled weakly, pitifully, and helplessly in the corner, staring blankly at the center of the room.

Blood, all blood, blood everywhere.

The corpses belonging to Qubi were scattered like tattered cotton on the thick, dark red blood. Each one had died in an extremely gruesome manner, as if it had been crushed by some heavy object. The internal organs and brain matter added a unique touch to the bright red blood.

Five minutes. Ye Wen killed Qiu Bi for a full five minutes.

During those five minutes, Cupid revived at a rate of one every 10 seconds, killing about 6 per minute, and a total of 30 in five minutes.

"Haven't you realized it yet?"

The 31st Cupid emerged from the pile of corpses: "No matter how many times you kill me, you can't kill me."

The next second, an invisible hand descended from the sky and smashed it into a meat patty.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Ye Wen sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, yawning boredly: "Of course I know you can't be killed completely by normal means."

"I was just killing you for fun."

People only talk about it online, but if they saw Kyubey in real life, who wouldn't want to fight him to the death multiple times?

"I don't know where I offended you."

The 32nd Cupid appears: "This should be our first meeting today."

"Indeed, this is our first time meeting."

Ye Wen smiled and said, "But what does it matter?"

"Didn't you also know I was a very dangerous person the first time we met?"

Cupid remained silent until an invisible hand snapped its neck.

The 33rd Cupid has appeared.

"Hmm, that's about enough." Ye Wen felt his body gradually getting tired. Activating the Invisible Hand required physical strength, and he wouldn't go so high as to use up all his strength just to vent.

Killing 32 of them was a pretty good way to vent my frustration.

"Let's get down to business."

"Gu Jiangyi".

Ye Wen called out to the girl huddled in the corner, "Help me clean the room, and I'll give you extra credits. Don't cower there like a quail."

"Eh, me, me?"

Looking at the corpses of Qubi scattered on the ground, Gu Jiangyi felt as if she were in the kitchen of a spicy rabbit head restaurant, with countless rabbit heads baring their teeth at her. The more she thought about it, the more disgusting it became.

"Aaaaah, whatever! For credits, purification magic, activate! (>_<)!"

Gu Jiangyi opened her mouth and closed her eyes, and instead of transforming into a magical girl, she used a simple spell. As the purification spell was activated, the bloodstains in the entire room were cleaned up completely, as if the previous massacre had never happened.

And it wasn't just the corpses that were being purified, but also things like dust. Ye Wen felt his room was sparkling, like... um? No, that's not right.

He looked down and searched under his bed. After confirming that the thing was indeed gone, Ye Wen looked up and stared blankly at Gu Jiangyi, muttering to himself:

"You're meddling quite a bit with your purification magic."

Gu Jiangyi lowered her head. Although she didn't know what she had accidentally purified, she still whispered, "I'm sorry..."

"Don't actually apologize."

Ye Wen frowned. He noticed that Gu Jiangyi seemed a bit too soft and gentle after she was deactivated from her magical girl form. Was she like this before?

Just as the story of a female protagonist must eventually come to an end, there must be a reason for becoming a female protagonist.

Although Ye Wen still doesn't know how the president, that pink-haired loli who goes to bed on time at nine o'clock every night, turned into the red heroine.

"Although it may seem abrupt when I say this, I need to give you some advice."

Ye Wen said very seriously, "Don't believe this mascot called Qiu Bi. Believe me, nothing is worse than it."

"If you continue to let it tempt you, your life will slide into an irreversible abyss."

Although Ye Wen didn't know what the magical girl system was like in this world, nor did he know Kyubey's role, it didn't matter.

Cupid, that's right.

Go ahead and slander; slander needs no reason.

"How rude of me! I had no idea I was such a wicked person."

Kyubey shook his ears: "Jiang Yi-chan, you must have seen it just now, this guy cruelly killed me 32 times."

"Shouldn't a normal person feel compassion for cute creatures? But this guy didn't, not even a little bit. He tortured and killed me simply to vent his anger."

"Are you really going to believe such a terrifying guy?"

"I, I..."

Gu Jiangyi lowered her head, sandwiched between Ye Wen and Qiu Bi. She seemed to lack the courage to make a choice. In the past, she had always passively accepted things, but this time, this time was different.

Only on this matter did she hope to make her own decision.

Even if it means facing the biggest, worst, and most powerful darkness in the student council.

"Senior, I..." Gu Jiangyi gritted her teeth, "Even if you deduct my credits, I... I don't care!"

"Only magical girls, only magical girls are something I absolutely must do, only this!"

She tried her best to speak loudly in front of Ye Wen, even though it seemed to make no difference, she was still bravely expressing her attitude.

Kyubey's tail stood up: "Yes, Jiang Yi-chan, express your stance like this."

"Don't bow down to evil!"

Ye Wen, being inherently evil, calmly nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Then you can continue being that person."

"Senior, you're threatening me... wait, what?"

Gu Jiangyi looked up blankly: "You...you're not going to deduct my credits?"

Ye Wen smirked: "You actually believe I'd deduct your credits? The vice president of the student council isn't someone you can just take for granted."

"Oh, I see." Gu Jiangyi blinked. "Then, senior, why do you possess such great power?"

Ye Wen: "Because I am the vice president of the student council."

Gu Jiangyi: "?"

"What happened to the promise that being the vice president isn't so convenient?!" She covered her face in fear. "You're still going to deduct my credits, aren't you... Waaah..."

QQ number.

"Alright, Jiang Yijiang, let's not have any more contact with this evil guy. Let's get out of here quickly."

Qiu Bi tried to take Gu Jiangyi away, but she refused. The girl shook her head at Qiu Bi: "Senior has taken care of me many times before, and I will listen to him."

"So, Cupid, please don't see me anymore. I'm afraid my senior will misunderstand."

Kyubey: "Huh?"

Gu Jiangyi's main point is to listen to one or two things, but not completely to either.

"I'm sorry, from now on I will decide my own path."

"Goodbye, senior!"

After another reflexive apology, Gu Jiangyi used magic and disappeared from Ye Wen and Qiu Bi's sight.

The man and the beast stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Phew, there's nothing I can do. The excellent individual I finally found has been corrupted by you."

Gu Jiangyi left, and Qiu Bi stopped pretending. Its voice changed from cute and soft to cold and mechanical: "But the power within you is worth exploring."

"The Magic Empire will remember your name, Ye Wen, one day."

"You will become excellent nourishment for us to cultivate hope."

After saying that, Cupid disappeared.

Ye Wen chuckled.

What's this? Just spouting threats and then running away?

It seems we still didn't kill enough.

Next time we meet, let's give it a light, hundred-times-killing.

But let's deal with Gu Jiangyi's matter first.

Since Gu Jiangyi herself has a strong desire to continue being a magical girl, we cannot oppose her directly; we must approach her indirectly.

For example...her family situation.

So, after several days, Ye Wen dialed that number again.

"Feeding? Are you there? Are you free?"
