Chapter 33 The Magic Girl Goes to Rescue Her Sister (New Magic Girl Candidate)
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
It had been three days since I, Shoichi, got back from Japan. During that time, Cleonora, or Eme-chan as a Magic Girl, hunted two demon monsters, and her Resource Points that she’d spent on leveling up were mostly back in good shape.
”No mistake about it,” Cleonora declared, her gaze firm. “I can fly higher than before, and I honestly think my Magic Power maximum has increased, too.” Cleonora, having had a few real combat tests over those three days, seemed to have grasped that her strength as a Magic Girl was definitely a little better.
Ami, looking smug, nodded her head, as if it was all going according to her plan. “Uh-huh. While it’s still too early to fight the pursuers, I’m thrilled that your power as a Magic Girl is growing so smoothly!”
”The people who are hunting Ami must be truly skilled, then,” Cleonora observed, her worry clear. “Even though a Magic Girl’s power is supposed to surpass a Guru’s…”
”Well, yeah,” Ami affirmed with a playful shrug. “They’re a troublesome bunch. Also, their personalities and ideas are absolutely never going to match Shoichi’s.”
”You’re that confident in your assessment?” I wondered aloud. Ami-chan, who thinks so highly of my character, saying that means it’s probably true, I figured. But to think that even the current Eme-rald can’t beat them… It confirms we need to gather—or rather, increase—the number of Magic Girls fast.
”With how strong Eme-rald is now, you might actually be able to storm the royal castle and snatch your sister!” Ami teased, giving me a knowing look.
”…Ami, is that the truth?!” Cleonora exclaimed, her eyes wide with hope.
”Your maximum Magic Power has increased quite a bit in a short time! That’s all thanks to those passionate nights you spend with Shoichi!” Ami responded with a wink.
Right… I remembered that by—ahem—releasing inside Cleonora, it could slightly raise her maximum Magic Power. Since that day, we’ve been intimate practically every night.
But come on! We don’t have a smartphone or a game console here! After dinner, there’s literally nothing to do until we go to sleep! When a man and woman who love each other are cooped up in a small room, well, there’s only one thing to do, isn’t there? This environment is probably a big reason Eme-chan’s Magic Power shot up so quickly.
”But it’s not like you’ll have plenty of juice, you know,” Ami cautioned, her tone suddenly serious. “You’ll be flying all the way to the capital and back. If you get into a fight on the way, you might risk running out of Magic Power somewhere.”
”Wouldn’t it be better to wait until your Magic Power has increased a little more, then?” I suggested. That would give her more room to maneuver and make the rescue more certain. But Cleonora shook her head, dismissing the idea.
”No… I was actually thinking that the timing is nearly at the limit,” she confided, her expression tense. “I’ve been missing for over a month now. My sister must have heard about it. If that’s the case…”
”…Then they might make a move to eliminate your sister at any time,” I finished for her, the dread heavy in my chest. Cleonora has her own urgent reason for rushing this. After all, gaining the power to rescue her sister was her main reason for deciding to become a Magic Girl. If I try to stop her now, even with the 〈Slave of Love〉 bond, it could cause her a mental breakdown.
”Alright, Cleonora. I understand. But… I’m still worried about the risk of you running out of Magic Power,” I admitted. “You’re taking a princess! The risk of getting into a fight on the way is pretty high, right?” If she uses her power in combat, she might not make it back safely. Noticing my deep concern, Cleonora nodded reassuringly.
”I’m not planning on flying all the way to the capital and back in one go,” she revealed.
”Huh?”
”First, I’ll fly to the capital and once there, I’ll cancel my transformation. Then, when my Magic Power has recharged, I’ll transform again and take my sister out.”
”I see… So you can save your sister while keeping a buffer of Magic Power for the trip back!” I gasped, realizing the genius of the plan. This is a trick to make a one-day plan possible over several days. If she transforms in the capital, she’ll have plenty of Magic Power to spare.
”Then I’ll just have Eme-chan carry me…” I started to say.
”Shoichi is staying home, obviously!” Ami cut me off sharply.
”Wha—huh?!” I spluttered, utterly shocked.
”What do you mean, ‘Huh?’ If Shoichi goes, he’ll just be dead weight! You’d only slow Eme-rald down. Besides, the Quester can’t just abandon the Great Phantasmal Soulstone, can he?”
Well… I guess she has a point there. I sighed.
Cleonora smiled warmly. “Fufu… Thank you for worrying about me. But I’ll be fine. I know the area well, and I understand the castle’s layout. And most importantly, the Magic Girl power is truly amazing. I believe that with the combination of my flying magic and my Sacred Jewel, I could easily cut down a Guru by moving at high speed.” Cleonora had apparently learned combo techniques using her sword and not just her sorcery. When did she find the time for that?!
Still, my anxiety about her going alone remained. However, rescuing her sister is the core of who Cleonora is now. It’s a matter I can’t easily interfere with.
”…Alright. Cleonora, I’ll trust you and wait. Please, come back safely!” I begged, my voice filled with sincerity.
”I will!” she vowed.
”And the fact that we’ll have a new Magic Girl candidate is great!” Ami chimed in excitedly. “I have high hopes for Cleonora’s sister!”
Thinking about it, I’d never actually talked to Cleonora about making her sister a Magic Girl. Cleonora turned to me, seeking confirmation.
”Shoichi… Do you want my sister to become a Magic Girl, too?”
”Huh?! Oh, uh… Yeah, I do. That is… if you’re okay with it, Cleonora…” I chickened out a little, giving Cleonora the final say. Even with the 〈Slave of Love〉 state, I’m still worried about how far I can push things concerning her sister. After all, becoming a Magic Girl means being intimate with me. A sister with a low Affection Level would probably hate the idea.
Cleonora, however, didn’t seem bothered at all. She nodded in agreement, looking quite satisfied.
”Given this much power, I was hoping you would grant it to my sister, so I’m glad you feel the same way, Shoichi.”
”Oh… you were?”
”Yes! As I’ve said many times, it’s rare to find such high-class power so easily. Besides, if she’s going to live in this forest, she’ll need a way to defend herself, won’t she? I’ll make sure to instruct her to serve you properly, so don’t worry.”
It seems she’s completely on board with the whole Magic Girl process. Or is it just because I wished it? I wondered if Cleonora’s reaction would be different if she weren’t under the 〈Slave of Love〉 effect. I certainly couldn’t imagine her telling her sister to serve me otherwise.
With that, Cleonora departed from the base. She might be back as early as tomorrow, but depending on how quickly her Magic Power recovers and the situation in the capital, she might take a little longer.
”Haa… I’m so nervous…”
”It’s a man’s duty to wait and believe!” Ami encouraged him, her voice light.
”Ugh… yeah, I know, I know…”
”More importantly, since we’re getting a new resident, let’s go and renovate the residential area! Your Quester level has gone up, and you can make new things now, right?”
She’s right. Okay. For Cleonora and her sister’s sake, I’d better get this place ready and make it a comfortable home!

Character Insight:
Shoichi’s protective anxiety is a driving force, counterbalanced by Cleonora’s fierce determination, rooted in her sister’s safety. Ami’s playful yet strategic guidance highlights the world’s focus on power and expansion. Cleonora’s acceptance of the ‘Magic Girl’ requirement—and her willingness to impose it on her sister—underscores the power of the ‘Slave of Love’ bond and the harsh realities of their new life.

Behind the Scene:
This chapter is a key transitional point: Cleonora’s mission is a direct consequence of her leveling up and the risk of leaving her sister in danger too long. Shoichi’s forced separation from the action emphasizes his role as the strategic base manager (Quester) who must grow the home and the team, rather than a frontline fighter. The intimate moments serve a dual purpose: character bonding and a vital power-up mechanic in this fantasy setting.
Notes:
• Cleonora – The second princess. Have a yellow blonde hair. Usually styled as hairbun.
• Ami – A palm-sized fairy-like being from a world separate from both Earth and the isekai realm. She has light blue hair tied in a ponytail, mischievous blue eyes, and tiny wings that flutter behind her. Her outfit consists of a provocative high-cut leotard and a short jacket that looks like a miniskirt from the back, leaving her legs bare. Despite her playful appearance, she is actively searching for a contractor who can protect her from dangerous pursuers in exchange for the powers she offers.
