Before the full-length mirror, a girl with pure white hair stared at herself in shock, as if looking at a mortal enemy.
“Li Lu?!”
Wasn’t this the face of the strongest magical girl, Starlight Li Lu?!
He… no, she was now.
As the greatest enemy of magical girls, the great Monster Lord, she could never mistake the strongest magical girl’s face in her life.
Li Lu in the mirror widened her eyes, pupils contracting slightly. Even her hands trembled faintly.
Looking at the familiar delicate face in the mirror, fear and disgust rose in the girl’s eyes beyond her control.
No other reason: she knew this face too well.
She had fought its owner countless times!
Just moments ago, she had been destroyed by the owner of this face, with a magic cannon powerful enough to obliterate an entire city!
…
So what was going on now?
Why was she seeing this face in the mirror?
She didn’t even know why she had appeared in a place like this.
If her memory was correct, she had indeed died.
Under that attack from Li Lu, there shouldn’t have been a speck of her left.
Dead… yet she saw the face of the strongest magical girl, her lifelong nemesis, in the mirror.
Could it be… because she, the Monster Lord, had such a deep obsession with the strongest magical girl that her life flashed before her eyes and showed this face?
Bah, bah! How could that be?
Besides, she didn’t look dead at all…
She studied the girl’s face in the mirror carefully.
Pure white hair, purple eyes, about one hundred fifty centimeters tall, very cute.
This was the magical girl Starlight, Li Lu.
The undisputed strongest magical girl in the world.
The magic she controlled was enough to change the entire world.
With just a simple mana cannon, she could wipe out most monsters.
In the end, even she, the Monster Lord, had died at Li Lu’s hands.
The irony was that one was the strongest magical girl, the other the Monster Lord, yet they had names that sounded exactly the same.
Li Lu, Lilu.
She raised her hand in shock and pinched her cheek lightly.
The faint touch on her cheek and the mirrored movement reminded her of one thing…
“I’ve become Li Lu?!”
They had fought for a lifetime, using every scheme and trick against each other.
And now, after death, she was supposed to become Li Lu?!
“This…”
The girl swallowed.
Watching Li Lu make a strange expression in the mirror, Lilu was completely stunned.
The original Li Lu could never make such an expression…
This… had she really taken over Li Lu’s body?!
Really? Could something like this happen?
Hmm…
Hiss…
“Is this a good thing?”
After a moment of silence, Lilu reached this conclusion.
She felt not a shred of shame over changing from male to female, or even into a magical girl.
All she had was a burning desire for revenge!
Next, she would use Li Lu’s body to carry out a complete betrayal!
Then she would crush those small-time magical girls ruthlessly.
Let them know what “strongest” meant!
She would turn that detestable strongest magical girl and her winner’s life into a complete mess!
Just imagining Li Lu’s former comrades seeing her suddenly attack everyone without recognizing anyone, their expressions would be priceless, right?
The strongest magical girl who had once been like a savior had now become an ally of monsters.
Just thinking about it was thrilling!
She had targeted her every day! Now she was getting her comeuppance!
‘Ahahahahaha!’
Just thinking about it made Lilu laugh out loud.
Then there was no time to waste. Time to act now!
…Huh?
Wait, why hadn’t she laughed out loud?
And why couldn’t she move all of a sudden?
Lilu tried to move her feet, but the body wouldn’t budge, as if welded to the floor.
At the same time, the strange expression that had been under her influence returned to its cold original state.
Wha… what was going on now?!
Why couldn’t she control this body?
She had been able to move just moments ago!
Meanwhile, the girl in the mirror’s eyes changed.
Cold, with a sharp light, as if appraising herself.
‘Hiss, that look!’
It was the look Li Lu showed when facing an enemy!
She knew it all too well, because Li Lu always looked at her that way!
Only Li Lu herself could make that expression.
So this was Li Lu looking at her, haha…
‘Li, Li Lu? You’re not dead, haha…’
Lilu greeted her cautiously, unsure if the other could hear her.
“…”
No way? Did that mean she hadn’t taken over Li Lu’s body at all?
Lilu was starting to panic.
She had thought she’d seized Li Lu’s body, but it turned out she had simply attached to her and was coexisting?
It seemed she had no control now. This body completely ignored her commands, and she couldn’t even speak.
That was bad.
From what she knew of Li Lu, this strongest magical girl couldn’t tolerate any evil, especially an existence like her, her lifelong enemy.
Even if this girl had to destroy herself, she would choose to drag her down to ruin!
Damn it, what should she do?!
She had finally survived. If she died again, wouldn’t that be a waste?
So what then? Should she just beg Li Lu for mercy?
In life, she had fulfilled her duty as the Monster Lord.
Now that she was dead, it didn’t matter… so dignity was nothing compared to staying alive!
Then the question was, how was she supposed to communicate with Li Lu? Telepathy or something?
‘…Hmm, that’s a problem.’
But why hadn’t Li Lu reacted after so long?
Li Lu just stood before the mirror, tired and dim-eyed, looking at herself without moving.
‘Strange… she looks younger than the last time I saw her?’
Ding dong…
Oh? A doorbell?
But that made sense. Li Lu, the winner of life, must have many friends visiting.
After all, she had so many magical girls supporting her.
‘Friendship among magical girls… it must be something so beautiful it could burn me to ashes, right?’
“…”
Hearing the doorbell, Li Lu reacted for the first time.
But it was a little different from what Lilu had imagined.
She didn’t go to open the door right away.
Instead, she stood still, body trembling slightly, purple eyes holding a hint of fear.
Like a wounded rabbit.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
The doorbell became urgent, as if hurrying her.
What was going on… why did it feel like Li Lu was afraid?
Strange. She had a fearless personality. What could she possibly fear?
And logically, there was nothing in this world that could threaten Li Lu.
After all, even the Monster Lord had been killed by her cannon.
While Lilu was stunned, the girl slowly lifted her eyes and looked painfully at herself in the mirror.
“It’s not… something that wonderful.”
