Transform as a Magical Girl: I Finally Became a Magical Girl, But I’m Stuck in an R-Rated Fantasy World Where Tentacles Won’t Stop Attacking Me - Chapter 43 - 7. My Incubus Isn't Like This

1. 1. 1. My Incubus Isn’t Like This

Instant foods and carbohydrates are addictive. Heesu was keenly feeling this these days.

It had been good when she escaped from her studio apartment where she had only consumed instant and convenience store foods, up until Violen abundantly prepared all sorts of delicious dishes for her.

But from when Heesu started exercising, Violen gradually changed the diet to healthy food. The dining table was increasingly filled with bland and tasteless things as greasy or stimulating foods decreased. The space for plump meat and glossy carbohydrates became narrower and narrower, while only those detestable bright green things increased their share—a reality that left Heesu lamenting.

“No! At this rate, I really might become healthy!”

At Heesu’s scream-like outcry, Violen replied with a fresh smile.

“That’s exactly what I was hoping for.”

Heesu, who had completely forgotten the ‘gratitude for the heart that genuinely worried about her and encouraged her by staying with her’ she had felt just a few days ago, shouted as if having a fit.

“Give me meat, meat! How can a person live without eating meat?!”

“Here’s meat.”

What Violen pointed to was chicken b****t mixed with salad. It was the only meat that could be seen on the dining table these days. Heesu wailed.

“Chicken b****t isn’t meat! That’s just…… like animal tofu or something!”

“There’s tofu here too.”

Tofu topped with thin seasoning sauce was placed in front of Heesu. At that cruel act, Heesu glared at Violen resentfully, but he only smiled gently. Even though he was smiling gently on the surface, he was prepared not to concede anything.

“It’s for Miss Heesu’s health. Just eat it.”

Izzen chimed in from the side.

“Health important! Alpha said so! Eat! Delicious!”

Even Rufus joined in.

“You heard them? Now, eat.”

Violen said triumphantly.

“…….”

Heesu felt a lonely sadness washing over her for the first time in a while. There was no one here who would take her side. Unfortunately, everyone except Heesu was eating that diet without complaint. Even when Heesu left food behind, they scraped it clean and ate it all. Naturally, there was no one to sympathize with Heesu’s lament either.

Actually, Violen’s diet did seem definitely good for health. Since she started eating like this, her body always felt refreshed and digestion was good too. With regular exercise combined, she was gradually losing weight, and her stamina had improved. Evidence of this was that waking up in the morning had become easier than before.

Nevertheless, Heesu couldn’t stand the empty feeling inside. She even had the illusion that the food that was clearly digesting well was churning around in her stomach.

‘There’s no lubrication at all between the food and stomach, so it’s actually not digesting properly!’

About this illusion, Heesu concluded as follows.

It was forced logic, but Heesu was desperate in her own way. Beyond being starved, she was even seeing hallucinations of the red stir-fried noodles and triangle kimbap she used to eat in her studio apartment, and the chicken and pizza she occasionally ordered as a treat, floating and dancing before her eyes. She couldn’t stand wanting to eat instant foods and MSG, stimulating and spicy things, greasy and crispy things, chewy things.

‘This won’t do. If I don’t fill my stomach with MSG and grease right now……!’

Eventually, Heesu escaped from home and rushed out to the convenience store. There, she determinedly swept various cup noodles, instant tteokbokki, instant pizza, instant hamburgers, and various drinks into a plastic bag. Since they were all foods that just needed water poured in or heating in the microwave, she planned to secretly eat them in her room.

Heesu, full of anticipation, headed home with proud steps. Excited, she hummed while cheerfully swinging the bag in her hand back and forth.

Walking like that, she suddenly felt wistful emotions washing over her.

‘Come to think of it, the day I became a magical girl, I was also going to the convenience store like this…….’

It had been two weeks since becoming a magical girl. Even though she had become the magical girl she had so longed to be, somehow it still didn’t feel like she was actually a magical girl. It was natural if you thought about it. She wasn’t doing anything magical girl-like at all.

Nevertheless, the memories from before felt distantly far away. Those days when she was holed up alone in her narrow studio apartment just watching anime constantly, without Violen, Rufus, or Izzen by her side.

Why was that? In just two weeks, she had become far too accustomed to it. Now it felt impossible to return to that daily life. If she were left alone again, she felt she wouldn’t be able to bear it.

At first, she had been tremendously dissatisfied with becoming the protagonist of a magical girl violation story rather than just a magical girl story, but now even that dissatisfaction was gradually disappearing.

Well, during the tentacle incident, she had been confused and angry, and during the slime incident, she had been embarrassed and angry. During the caterpillar incident, she had been disgusted and burdened, even considering whether to just abandon it. During the werewolf incident, she had been so scared she wanted to throw away being a magical girl and everything else and just run away.

She had definitely felt that way, but now even those memories felt distant. That was natural because she had become close with the tentacle Violen to the point of constantly being physically intimate, and the slime Button, always diligent with cleaning, had become a consistently precious and grateful existence. She had also become comfortable with Rufus, who followed her well like a loyal dog, as befitting someone who was once a wolf. The caterpillar that had now become a chrysalis made her heart flutter with anticipation for the day it would become a butterfly whenever she saw it. The daily life of getting along well with them was enjoyable.

Heesu sighed while feeling newly troubled.

Something seemed to be going wrong, but she couldn’t stop it. Actually, now she could barely remember what she had originally wanted. Becoming a magical girl, transforming magnificently, fighting against evil villains targeting the world, meeting comrades more precious than life, having fateful love, and eventually becoming a hero who saves the world…….

But were such things really more valuable than what she had now?

‘I’ve adapted too much…….’
