Over the next few days, the YoRHa research division became unusually busy.
Under Fujino's guidance, countless strange devices began appearing inside the laboratory.
Some looked like crystal necklaces.
Others resembled rings.
Bracelets.
Hairpins.
Even ordinary-looking ribbons.
Each one contained a tiny fragment of Spiritual Power that Fujino had personally copied.
With the Reality Gem, reproducing Spiritual Power had become unbelievably simple.
She only needed to duplicate Nanami's Spirit Origin and then adjust it according to each recipient's compatibility.
The finished products looked almost identical to magical transformation devices from anime.
The moment an ordinary girl accepted one...
She would immediately become a genuine Spirit.
"..."
Looking at the colorful accessories filling the laboratory,
even 2B couldn't help asking,
"Commander..."
"...Why must they all look this way?"
Fujino answered without hesitation.
"Because girls like pretty things."
"And."
"They have to shout a transformation phrase."
"..."
The entire laboratory suddenly became silent.
Even A2, who usually remained expressionless, silently turned her face away.
The Commander lowered her head.
For some reason...
She suddenly felt a little sorry for the future owners of those devices.
...
After confirming the equipment functioned perfectly,
Fujino finally shifted her attention toward the list prepared by DEM.
Every future Spirit had already been investigated.
The nearest one...
Lived in Tenguu City.
A girl named—
Honjo Nijika.
