"That will not work," Was what Evangeline said to Elizabeth's declaration.

  "Why not? I know a [Magical Girl] can get another [Magical Girl] pregnant, Mother has extensive studies and evidence to prove that fact," Elizabeth answered back summoning a copy of one of Mother's journals on the topic, not the original of course, that was safeguarded within one of her vaults within her Shadow Spire, "I suspect I may have a few sisters somewhere even."

  Well, Elizabeth didn't actually think that, at least not a sister after she started dating Papa, but before that? Yeah…Elizabeth wouldn't be surprised about it.

  "Not that, I know of that fact, it is [Written]." Evangeline said folding her blouse and placing it on the desk, wasn't… wasn't she going to dress? Elizabeth didn't know where to look at! "No, a [Hero] 's lust can only be satiated fully by the opposite sex."

  What?

  "It's a safeguard. Usually, it isn't [Natural] for a girl to get another girl pregnant. And a [Hero] is summoned not only to deal with an issue but to start a new bloodline of saviors." Evangeline said, sitting on her desk, her legs wide open, allowing Elizabeth to peek under her skirt…. No! Begone temptation! You can only stick it in a crazy one so many times! "So while you can sate your lust with other women, or a Male Hero can sate their lust with other Males…..At the end of the day, you will need to find someone of the opposite sex."

  ….No she did not.

  "That's stupid," Elizabeth said flaring her mana and summoning a piece of cloth from her [Armory], "If I was to be under those same rules, then I would have noticed it by now, Akira was drunk in his own lust, and I am the same age as him. I would be a lustful creature and wouldn't be able to control myself."

  "But you have, you have succumbed to your lust before have you not?" Evangeline said, summoning a new holoprojection, "Several times even,"

  And so a new video started playing, Elizabeth didn't know what she was going to see, but…

  "...who is that?" What she saw was something she hadn't expected.

  "You," Evangeline showed her a picture of her dressed in a mate black dress with fish nets socks and gloves, a long V cleavage on her chest that almost barely managed to not show her assets…or well, all her assets, and more importantly, her eyes shone in red light and there were red cracks on her face, neck and her whole body. "This is what happened to you during the [Advent]."

  The video showed a version of Elizabeth, the one that had gone around during the [Advent], the Elizabeth that was possessed by [Ethan], the one that had piloted her body and kickstarted the [Advent].

  The video showed a girl who lusted over her Papa…Over all the males that showed in front of her actually…

  "I…I think I'll be sick…." Elizabeth said, how had Papa talked normally to her after this? How could she even show her face? And Mother? She didn't say anything? This was the kind of thing that she expected that woman to use to torment and play jokes for ages!

  They all….kept quiet?

  "This is what happens when someone who is a [Hero], or [Heroine] in this case, is hit with the full might of a [Hero] 's energy. This entity wasn't able to balance the energy within your body so she craved the opposite energy to level itself." Evangeline said, crossing her legs, somehow making herself look more tempting…. "This is only the first such event,"

  THERE WHERE MORE??!?!?!?!?!?

  "The other one I have no evidence of it, besides the start of it anyway," Evangeline said summoning another holoprojector.

  "Okay that one is bullshit, I know there weren't cameras around after it happened!" Elizabeth said as the video started playing.

  It was a video of the mana terror incident, the one where Elizabeth poisoned hundreds of people and grievously hurt Rossie and Rena.

  The video showed her after the event had happened, and how she walked, or more like stumbled towards Rena and Rossie's body. How she cried as she grabbed the bodies of the two girls and disappeared in a flash of shadows. If that even makes sense.

  The video showed the shadows growing on them from inside and covering their bodies, only to disappear the next second.

  "I don't know where you went to, but the evidence is damming," Evangeline said, scrolling back to the video. Now there was a chart to the side, "Do I need to read it to you?"

  "...Mordred," Elizabeth said aloud as she read the data, "....Reginald….Is this…Am I reading this right?"

  "Yes, Mistress," Morded said in her mind.

  "That is correct Mistress, your mana was skewing itself away from equilibrium as your Sin mana got out of control." Reginald added a more complete answer.

  "That…. wasn't that [Sin Mana]?" Elizabeth said she had thought it was merely her own hubris the cause.

  "You are calling it like that? Well…I guess that would be correct," Evangeline said, nodding, her chest bobbing in sync…Okay, that was done on purpose! "Then what would you call this?"

  And while Elizabeth wondered why the heck she gave the girl a blanket if she was still going to show her assets, Evangeline opened her palm and materialized an orb of mana.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  "That's a Mana orb-" Elizabeth was about to say when she noticed that….she wasn't quite able to identify the type. It felt….oddly similar to her [Sin Mana], but not quite yet…

  "It isn't [Pride, Greed, Lust, Wrath, Envy or Gluttony]...is it [Sloth]? No, you don't have the type." Elizabeth said aloud while looking at the sphere of mana.

  "So you have all of those? A wonder you aren't a sex beast already…" Evangeline said with a weirdly sexy smile, "Or are you? I still don't think you are a virgin."

  Well, first of all, rude.

  Second of all, rude.

  Thirdly of all, mind your own damn business, you exhibitionist!

  "Rude," Elizabeth decided to vocalize her grievances. "What is it? It isn't normal mana, and you don't strike me the type of willingly use those kind of mana, even if you are abusing your friends and trying to tempt me into a weird sex harem thing."

  "This is….[Castitas Mana], or how you would call it [Chastity Mana]," Evangeline said throwing the Mana orb at Elizabeth, "Test it if you don't trust me, just channel some of that [Luxuria Mana]...or [Lust Mana] as you are using it into it. Depending on who is stronger, the orb should either break or annihilate the anathema mana."

  Elizabeth didn't like how that was phrased, so instead of trusting blindly she channeled some of her Shadows some of [Gluttony Mana], she… hadn't actually used this thing, at all. So it should be safe enough.

  The shadow orb tried to mix with the orb of mana but it was like oil and water, a small shift after Elizabeth tried the other types, [Pride], [Envy], [Greed], and when that didn't work…She went for [Wrath].

  "[Luxuria Mana] is the only one that will react to it Elizabeth, stop being stubborn about everything I tell you." Evangeline said smirking at Elizabeth.

  And so, Elizabeth sighed and Shifted it into [Lust Mana], not one from Rossaline though. Even though Elizabeth hadn't taken in her [Sin Gem], she still had some of that mana that had leaked through it.

  So, taking the isolated mana, she pulled it from the [Shadow Haven] into an orb of Shadows. The [Lust Mana] didn't quite want to mix with that, but Elizabeth hadn't used it that much, so she wasn't aware of what element was the best to mix with it.

  And she didn't have a talent with [Healing Magic] or [Soul Magic], which were the elements that Rossie used her [Sin Mana] with. Either way, as soon as the new orb of [Sin Mana] touched the orb of Evangeline, the orb that the silver-haired girl made burst into nothing.

  "....Was that your [Lust] or from Rossaline?" Evangeline said narrowing her eyes, "Because that only serves as proof for me to doubt about the fact that you claim to be a virgin, I know for a fact that Rossaline isn't pure, and the same goes for Rena."

  "Well, you don't look too [Chaste] right now either," Elizabeth said back, "You admitted to taking advantage of your friends and are attempting to tempt me into an open relationship that goes at least four ways!"

  "I am still a virgin since nothing has penetrated me, the same goes for Lily and Selen since I don't know if you are into that or not," Evangeline answered with a shrug, "Can you say the same of Rossaline and Rena? At the very least, I know that Rena is [Damaged Goods]."

  *Slap*

  Elizabeth didn't feel herself move at all. One second, she was standing safely one meter and some away from Evangeline; the next, she had materialized, slapping Evangeline. The shadow blanket that Elizabeth had given her was nowhere to be seen either.

  Had she Shadow Steped using it?

  "...It is the truth, no matter how much [Healing Magic] Rossaline uses to fix herself or Rena," Evangeline said as her hand went to grab Elizabeth's hand, "They are [Used Goods], do you want to know if Rossaline masturbates? Because she does, she has quite the collection of sex toys; even if she claims to despise Males, she still uses toys based on their body parts."

  Elizabeth knew that, that Rossie…played with herself…She was not that dumb, not anymore anyway.

  "I can show you if you think your [Girlfriend] to be pure, trust me. She.Is.Not." Evangeline said summoning a new group of screens, "And she doesn't stop at that, she uses those same toys with the figure she so much claims to despise on other girls."

  The videos didn't play, but each had a thumbnail of Rossie with a different girl; at the start, the girls all were different, brunette, red-haired, blue-haired, green, pink, silver, black…Then they started to have blonde hair…

  Then their hair stayed blonde….and slowly they all started changing, ever so slowly…

  "Want to know what her favorite type is?" Evangeline started speeding up the thumbnail showcase, "This is her favorite type…and when she didn't manage to find one, she [Made] them."

  The last thumbnail had a brunette girl and Rossaline in a hotel room, Rossaline summoning a magic circle, one that Elizabeth knew very well… One that her Mother developed to help [Magical Girls] not fear being taken advantage of.

  One that helped them become their ideal self.

  "She modified the [Shift] spell into one that would turn anyone into her ideal type…" Evangeline showed Elizabeth a video of Rossie using the [Shift] spell to turn someone into her….A [Shift - Elizabeth Starbright] spell. "Rossaline Singh is not [Worthy] of you, she is not [Worthy] of carrying your bloodline. Let's ignore Rena, since she is, technically, a victim."

  She WAS a victim, there wasn't anything technical about it.

  "What kind of daughter would you have? A lustful succubus? What would be the end of that? A whore of a Mother can only have a whore of a daughter." Evangeline's sweet voice said, the information was all there.

  Anyone could see it, the data didn't lie. Rossie took advantage of many girls, she probably brainwashed several of those into being their sex slaves, all so she could keep the pure image that Elizabeth had of her…

  But…was that all there was to it?

  "No," Obviously not, "Rossie may have a couple problems with her; she may be….a little deranged and totally consumed by an insatiable lust that materialized as a physical form made only to indulge in [Sin]."

  And she really was designed only for that; her [Night Temptress] form had way too many add-ons only viable for use in bed, and a couple for use in zero gravity…

  "But that is not her fault, and the fact that she ended up like that is not her fault," Elizabeth was sure of that, "It was this goddamned [Hero] system that made her like it."

  This [Hero] bullshit of having the need to copulate and spread their [SEED], "She was a victim, a rape victim that was brainwashed into this, and what do you mean that Rena is technically a victim? She was groomed from childhood into being a sex slave! How was that her fault!?!?!?"

  "She was in love with Akira," Evangeline answered, "And Rossaline didn't say no to Akira's initial advances, the [Hero] system is very clear on that, if someone accepts joining the party, they are groomed into viable companions. Be it as wives or husbands."

  "What?" Elizabeth was getting more and more confused, "They are…groomed? Why? It isn't that hard to have sons and daughters! Why would the stupid [Hero] system even mess with that?!?!?!?"

  "How hard was it for your Father to have a daughter?" Evangeline pointed out.

  How did she?

  "How do you know my parents had trouble conceiving?" Elizabeth asked, had [The World] given her access to that data too? Elizabeth was having a hard time not hating that purple haired woman right now, that was private!

  "For the same reason the [Hero] system grooms the party members, when someone has too much mana, they become poisonus, they need someone who can match their mana levels to even have a chance to copulate. This isn't common knowledge yet, but a level 50 will never be able to have a son or daughter with a level 10." Evangeline said showing graphs of these two theorical people, "The mana of the level 50 will be to powerful for the level 10 to even be able to withstand it, best case scenario will be a miscarriage, worst case will be a monster being born… Not that the [System] will allow that to happen,"

  ….So they knew?

  "The [Galaxidae] knew? And they didn't say anything to my Parents?" Elizabeth asked.

  "We told them, or my ancestors did anyway. That the only person that could conceive a son or daughter to him was Eleanore Windsor." Evangeline said with a shrug, "Your father didn't listen to us, and your Mother told us to go and…well…for someone who dresses as a pure Magical Girl her mouth was akin to a sailor."

  Elizabeth smiled at that.

  "Wait…so you say that I'll have the same problem that Papa?" Elizabeth asked as a smile formed on her face.

  "Yes…That is why Asher…" Evangeline said nodding.

  "Then I'll solve it the same way that Papa and Mother!" Elizabeth said laughing, "If Mother…If Mother could keep a [Shift] for nine months…for as long as her pregnancy lasted, then I sure as hell can too. Shift is my specialty after all. I'm sorry to Rossie who wanted to be the one bearing our child, but if it is too dangerous I'll be the one to do it, no matter how many times it takes."

  "...Your Father had problems conceiving not because he was a [Hero], but because his mana was [Hero] levels." Evangeline said, shaking her head, "It is different."

  "How can it be different," Elizabeth said back, "All I will need is to match it with Rossie and Rena. And while Rena may not be good at that, Rossie is very good at Mana Manipulation like I am, Rena may be harder, but practice will make it perfect, and if Rena is good at anything, it is practicing something till it is perfect."

  "You aren't listening Elizabeth Starbright," Evangeline said shaking her head, "The problem is multifold, first is mana density, then is mana type, and finally is mana affinity."

  That sounded like all of the same.

  "What is mana?" Evangeline suddenly said.

  "That is a stupid question," Elizabeth answered, "Mana is what we use to create spells and fuel or skills, it is what permeates the world and grants us our powers, is what fuels the advancement of our world and it is what [Deities] and [The World] uses to grow."

  "Then tell me, is all mana made equal? Or are different types of mana?" Evangeline asked back.

  Elizabeth was about to say that Mana was Mana, but stopped short, this felt like a trap question…

  What was mana? What was the different types of mana?
