Day 324.

A Centaur Playing with His Son by Otto Bache

There is something peculiar in this bouquet in my Study.

she terrifies me

It's not a dark story or anything, the magical girl is just as cute and cheery and friendly as factory standard and never loses that faith and optimism, she's just Pact-bound to a frightening demon from the underworld instead of a cute teddy bear mouse.

“What if she becomes horrified with what she’s becoming-“ No.

At every demon party where they show off their pacted there's evil, terrible, and frighteningly beautiful and then there's this teenager in a cute magical girl dress.

"Oh, and I also got my magical powers, of course."

"The power of friendship."
