Type Moon, My servant is Tom Chapter 6

 Chapter 180: Busted, Illya!

"Sa~, make a contract with me and become the Star·Magical Girl who will save the world!" 

"...mahoushoujyo?" Illya tilted her head, repeating the strange phrase that Ruby had just said. Well, it wasn't exactly a repetition of what Ruby said, as it couldn't be said that a rod-like object resembling a clam had a mouth, right? But the meaning was roughly the same.

Ruby nodded and moved closer, trying to entice Illya, "Yes, if you make a contract with me, you will become the Star·Magical Girl with the power to save the world. Aren't you excited about that?"

Illya shook her head repeatedly, "No, I won't do it. Goodbye."

"That's great, then let's quickly make the contract... Huh?" Ruby was prepared to deliver its next lines, but it suddenly realized that this little girl had refused. This little girl, who had rejected an opportunity that no little girl would ever refuse, caught Ruby off guard.

Ruby scratched its head with its tail, looking quite surprised. "This is a chance to become a Magical Girl. If you refuse, it will be difficult to get such an opportunity again. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Illya nodded.

Seeing Illya so resolute in her refusal, Ruby thought she might not believe it, so it immediately stated, "Trust me, once you make the contract, you really can become a Magical Girl. Don't doubt it."

"I believe you."

"Huh? If you believe me, then why are you refusing?"

"Because..." Illya leaned her neck forward slightly and said with a face of disbelief, "mahoushoujyo is the one from last year's Mahou Shoujo series, right?"

After Illya finished speaking, silence hung in the air for a long time.

"Cliché! Cliché! Cliché!" Ruby said "cliché" three times in a row. Although its face didn't show emotions, and it didn't even have a face, its mood was definitely frustrated.

"Too cliché! You are going to become a Star·Magical Girl, and it's different from the cliché Magical Girls you mentioned!"

"Really?" Hearing this, the reserved Illya seemed to be swayed a little. After all, Kiritsugu and her mother never taught her not to listen to strangers.

"Of course! As a magic wand, could I possibly lie to you?" Ruby replied, feeling quite triumphant as it seemed like Illya was falling for it.

Illya touched her forehead, took a deep breath, and finally made up her mind. "Alright then, I want to make a contract with you and become a Mahou Shoujo!"

"It's Star·Mahou Shoujo, you know~," Ruby corrected, waving gracefully in the air, with stardust trailing behind, just like a magical wand emanating blue flames.

With Ruby's wave, a light blue floating window appeared in front of Illya. "Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?"

YES/YES

Illya, just eight years old, remained silent for a long while after seeing the floating window. Then she looked up at Ruby behind the floating window with a puzzled expression. "What's this?"

Confused by Illya's question, Ruby flew over to her side and looked at the floating window in front of Illya. "Ah, sorry, sorry. I accidentally used the wrong contract template." Seeing the text on the screen, Ruby blushed and scratched its head with its tail. "But it's no big deal; just go ahead and press it!"

"Are you sure there won't be any problems?" Illya took a deep look at the clam-like wand, thinking, 'This doesn't seem very reliable...'

"No problem at all!" Ruby assured her.

"Alright." After responding, Illya reached out her little hand toward one of the two buttons on the screen.

"Contract completed!"

Seeing that Illya, under its influence, had finally pressed the 'YES' button, Ruby exclaimed excitedly, "Yeah!!!"

"You made a very wise decision, Illyasviel von Einzbern-san."

"Uh, but how do you know my name?"

'Ha! Why would I come all the way here if I didn't know your name?' Ruby thought to itself, but on the surface, it sweetly replied, "It was recognized during the contract process~."

"In any case, from now on, you are my second master," Ruby said. Suddenly, a burst of pink light erupted, enveloping the entire Ruby.

"Henceforth, my sword and your fate are intertwined, and our contract is complete!" Just as Ruby finished speaking, the pink light swiftly transferred from Ruby's body to Illya's.

Now, looking at Illya, she had completely transformed into a bright pink figure, with the background being a normal shade of pink. In comparison, Illya's color now leaned more towards white.

From afar, strips of cloth suddenly flew in, wrapping perfectly around the now bright pink Illya, almost like she was being mummified.

Yes, after successfully making the contract, Illya...started her first forced transformation!

With a satisfying "bang," the cloth binding Illya burst open like popcorn, disappearing completely. In its place, after the cloth exploded, appeared an over-the-top set of magical girl attire that looked like it was straight out of a magical girl anime.

"Did I really become a Mahou Shoujo?" Looking at the white gloves on her hands and Ruby, which somehow flew into her hand, as well as the excessively pink and gorgeous outfit she was now wearing, Illya felt excited.

Approaching a mirror, Illya gleefully admired her new attire. Her joy was evident from her face.

Just as she was basking in the excitement, Illya suddenly remembered what Ruby had said earlier.

"Wait, why am I the second master? What happened to the first one?"
