After her first defeat in battle, the magical girl Crimson was captured by a monster...
Wait, this isn't going to turn into some weird plot, is it? Of course not. It's just that the monster discovers his daughter is a magical girl!
Ji Zhiyu: "You are not becoming a magical girl anymore, understand? You know, magical girls are supposedly immortal, but their average lifespan isn't even a year!"
He says it bluntly, but his daughter is clearly going through a rebellious phase and doesn't see it that way.
And so...
"Today is the official debut of magical girl Lily!"
I only had to resort to this because I wanted to protect my daughter! That's what Ji Zhiyu tells himself.
If he becomes his daughter's idol, then fakes his own death and traumatizes her, surely she'll stop wanting to be a magical girl!
