Magical Girl with Demonic Time Magic-Chapter 133: Decision Made

"...Hmmm?" I let out a groan as I slowly wake up. I look to the side and see Setsuna completely naked, which makes me turn completely red, until I remember last night.

Me taking Setsuna’s first time, and then her immediately taking my first time—the spicy scenes flashing in my mind seem to short-circuit my brain as Setsuna opens her eyes and looks at me with a sweet smile.

"Good morning, Ayane. How was last night for you?" she asks while I cover myself with the sheet.

"I-It was... great... and for you?" I ask timidly.

"It was wonderful... a real dream come true..." She gets out of bed, still without any clothes, and walks over to the dresser. She picks up the hourglass and shakes it until all the sand falls to one side, and then she turns it over again.

"...?" I’m confused until she looks at me and just smiles.

"I want to know when it’s been exactly 24 hours since this ends... Shall we have breakfast? I’ll make it... You can go get ready. I’ll take a shower right after," she says, picking up her clothes and heading out.

"O-Okay..." I stay covered until she leaves the room. I thought we would have a talk after waking up, but I should say I prefer it this way; I wouldn’t be able to talk properly after everything that happened.

"T-Things got... really hot last night..." I murmur, touching my lips. I have to say, I’ve never felt so good before, which makes me embarrassed to feel this way.

’I need a quick shower! So Setsuna can go take a bath soon!’ I grab a towel and run to my bathroom. Although I miss having a deeper conversation after all that, I feel like something is missing.

...

...

...

I hear the sound of Ayane showering. Meanwhile, I use time magic to "steal" food from the past and bring it here, since I’m not going to cook.

"...Dammit..." I grip her countertop so hard it cracks, but I quickly use my power to return it to normal.

’It was so good...’ I feel excited by her vulnerability. Her innocence and foolishness make me have horrible thoughts I don’t want to have, but that I can’t control.

And the worst part is knowing that this desire is truly... mine. Among all the feelings I have that were planted by Number 0, this one feeling is mine, and I finally found that answer.

After seeing Ayane actually giving me her first time, striving to make me feel good, I finally understood. My love and obsession began with the seeds planted by Number 0.

But it was I who made this love blossom. These are my desires. Yet, precisely because I finally understand that my love and obsession are mine alone, I feel disgusted for having these desires.

"..." I start to scratch myself, as if worms are crawling under my skin. The sensation of my own touch feels disgusting to me. Blood flows, dripping onto the counter and then onto the table.

Until I hear the sound of the shower turning off, followed by the door opening. I quickly hide my arms and erase the blood with time magic.

"Setsuna, you can go take a shower! Let me handle the food!" Ayane says, quickly phasing through the wall. Even now, she still tries to be kind.

"Ayane, just let me finish! Please go back to the bedroom and wait, because I’m going to bring your food to you in bed," I tell her with a smile. She timidly nods and goes back.

’I feel like a wolf... a wolf with a rabbit served on a silver platter, ready for the slaughter... Ayane, you idiot, why don’t you notice...’ I start blaming her for being too naive.

If she were less naive, she would notice the monster she’s sheltering and feeding with love. Every sweet action of hers just makes everything worse for me. Seeing her give herself so freely makes this dark impulse overwhelm me.

’I have to be quick... I need to make Ayane stronger... or... I might not be able to carry out this plan anymore...’ My plan, as much as it hurts me, is simple. Number 0 adjusted my powers and Ayane’s angelic potential so that every time I kill her, her talent as an angel accumulates.

It’s not because I give her more talent, but because the time reversal preserves the talent and power she had previously. So, in the new timeline, her previous power and her current power merge into one.

That’s why I brought the hourglass. I will kill Ayane once every 24 hours. This way, we will repeat the same day numerous times, over and over again... We will always return to the moment we wake up in the bedroom after a fun night of pleasure.

"...23 hours and 35 minutes until the end..." Out of regret, pain, and guilt, I decide it’s better to make this day a good one for her. During all the days that will repeat, I will cook all the meals, I will care for her like a queen, and when the 24-hour threshold arrives... I will do what I must do.

I even thought about killing her at a moment that would make our night of sex happen every day, and that’s why I set the hourglass last night, but I realized that doing that would be maddening for me.

Seeing her striving to give me pleasure would destroy my determination to make her stronger than me, and I can’t give up. That’s why I reset the hourglass this morning—to avoid repeating our night together.

’This is better... for her... and for me...’ I still can’t find Hexael, so I deduce that perhaps he isn’t on planet Earth, but rather in the dimension where demons and angels used to live.

However, I can’t enter there. I don’t have the authority that Number 0 had to go to that place. To get in, I need to use more of her power, which I’m avoiding doing so I don’t lose the little self-control I have left.

"How truly frustrating." I wait calmly until the normal amount of time it would take to prepare a meal has passed before taking it to Ayane.

’I wonder how many times I’ll need to make Ayane stronger than me?’ It’s a curious doubt. I have no idea how strong Ayane gets with each return.

I only know that Number 0, at 100% of her power, could destroy solar systems and collapse the time of the universe. It happens that Number 0’s power is less destructive in a general sense because it manipulates time.

’Well, I’ll find out in the moment... It shouldn’t be more than a few hundred times...’ Even though the prospect of killing Ayane hundreds of times is horrifying.
