‘It hurts, it hurts so much!’
Even the slightest breeze brushing against her skin was magnified countless times over, turning into a torment that scraped down to the bone.
Lando couldn’t control herself and began rolling on the ground, but that only intensified her agony.
Every inch of her skin screamed in pain, every cell trembled.
Although it was just an illusion created by Magic Power, once it deceived the brain, the body involuntarily reacted in kind.
Su Mu, who shared these sensations with her, also struggled violently inside the confined Mango Box.
It was hard to imagine what would happen if this excessively amplified sensitivity wasn’t shared.
Fortunately, Su Mu still had the ability to solve this problem.
“Execute removal of negative status: Sensitivity Up MAX, Corruption Rate 73%? Warning! Insufficient Magic Power!”
This ability was indeed useful, but it drained too much Magic Power, far beyond what Su Mu could currently sustain.
The situation was that she could at most choose to clear the negative status of either herself or Lando.
Compared to Lando, Su Mu’s sensations were even stronger, though not in pain, but stemming from some more hidden, shameful corners.
The faint light leaking through the gaps of the paper box fell on Su Mu’s flushed cheeks, the color as intoxicating as fine red wine.
This intoxicating red wine slowly poured down, flowing along the curves of Su Mu’s body into a stream, soaking the bottom of the cardboard box.
It was as if, just by lightly squeezing her thighs together, that nectar-filled wine would continue to wind its way downward…
No, she had to endure this.
Lando’s problem had to be solved first.
Su Mu bit her lip, pulled out her handheld device, and squeezed out the last of her remaining Magic Power to alter Lando’s status.
‘Anyway… I have plenty of ways to deal with this kind of problem on my end.’
[Removing Sensitivity Up MAX, progress 10%…]
‘Take it, Lando. This is my last bit of Magic Power… and then I have some personal matters to handle.’
This time, there’s no reckless Miti around.
No, wait, something’s not right.
Su Mu suddenly sat upright and struggled fiercely inside the Mango Box.
But fortified by Magic Power, the box was now indestructible—beyond anything she could easily shake.
At this moment, Su Mu was like a girl buried alive in a coffin, powerless to move except to writhe and claw at the box with slender fingers until they bled.
A girl trapped in a coffin would claw at its lid; Su Mu’s fingers paused before the previously impenetrable barrier of Magic Power.
‘I… I can’t reach it.’
It’s sealed tight—that’s a Magic Power seal!
Now all she could do was pray that Lando would deal with that thing quickly.
Su Mu forced herself to stay alert and checked her status.
“Corruption Rate: 87%”
So only thirteen percent left?
What does it mean to be at a hundred percent?!
Su Mu dared not think further, only carving at the surface with her fingertips.
Whether coffin lid or Magic Power seal, there’s always a way to break through.
Yes, we must imagine Sisyphus as happy.

Meanwhile, the Desire Witch’s Tentacles swarmed over Lando the moment she collapsed, binding her tightly.
The tentacles coiled around her wrists and ankles, squeezing until she whimpered in unbearable pain.
The Desire Witch discarded her slippers to the side and stepped barefoot onto the battered floor of the martial arts hall, her movements elegant, her waist swaying like willow branches in the wind.
Her stunning face wore an enticing smile, wild and unrestrained, like a child finally grasping her beloved toy.
She could no longer restrain her quickened pace.
“In the end, you’re still far from enough—just like before, you can never surpass your Master. But now that I have you, I won’t bother with those meaningless restraints anymore~”
In an instant, the Desire Witch reached Lando and gently stroked her cheek, tracing down the delicate porcelain collarbone.
Her fingertips glided over Lando’s high-collared uniform, button by button popping loose, transforming the once form-fitting military jacket into a loose, ill-fitting garment.
The toxins inside Lando’s body hadn’t yet been cleared; the Desire Witch’s nails barely touched her pale skin and already sent waves of unbearable pain through her.
But even with her face flushed crimson, Lando gritted her teeth and shut her eyes tight, avoiding eye contact with the Desire Witch.
Amused by Lando’s reaction, the Desire Witch chuckled softly and waved her hand, releasing Lando’s collar.
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of doing anything shameless, much less touch my own daughter… you. I just want to see how much you can endure. But looking at you now, you don’t even come close to the level I had back then. With you like this, what right do you have to indulge yourself?”
The Desire Witch whispered into Lando’s ear, her words tinged with both mockery and helplessness.
At that moment, the usually silent Lando finally broke free from her agony.
Su Mu’s gentle Magic Power slowly flowed through her body, cleansing the toxins festering in her limbs.
“Mind your own business,” Lando said sharply.
She raised her head and struggled fiercely against the entangling tentacles, and though she couldn’t completely shake them off, the Desire Witch was forced to retreat in shock.
After all, the roots of those tentacles were connected right behind her, and she could clearly feel how powerful that seemingly feeble struggle had been.
“Stop struggling pointlessly. Your sensitivity is already at its limit. This will only cause greater strain on your body.”
“Are you really concerned about me? How laughable. I never thought the first time I’d hear you care about my feelings would be under these circumstances… If you had shown your true nature from the start, maybe I would have been willing to accept you.”
At these words, the Desire Witch’s smile froze.
“What do you know? Do you understand what I have done all this for?”
“For me?”
Lando sneered coldly.
She had regained her strength from the struggle and could now pull her hand free from the tentacles at any moment.
But she wanted to take advantage of the Desire Witch’s emotional turmoil and use the ignored Military Knife lying on the ground to strike a deadly blow.
“Not entirely… I don’t consider myself worthy to be your mother, but that doesn’t mean everything I’ve done deserves to be despised.”
The Desire Witch murmured, but both of them knew there was no longer room for a proper conversation.
Their stances had been clear the moment they drew their blades.
To end this memory, they had to cross over the Desire Witch’s Concept Body.
“Forget it. There’s no point talking with you anymore. Now, I want to see just how sweet you and your little girlfriend really are.”
The tentacles dragged the nearby Mango Box closer and shook it against the ground.
A few jarring bounces left Su Mu inside dizzy and disoriented.
“Come out, little Su Mu from inside~”
