Kyubey?
Kyubey?
Kyubey?
Kyubey had been hearing more calls from the girls; Sakayanagi Arisu only called out occasionally, and Touka had only called once yesterday.
Kaori called him morning, noon, and night, and he could tell she was genuinely worried about him.
“Kaori…”
Kyubey really wanted to go tell Kaori that he was fine, but he absolutely could not let Satou know that he cared about her.
Although, as long as Kaori didn’t mock her to her face, Satou wouldn’t go so far as to kill her just because he had feelings for her.
But he couldn’t take the risk; nothing a yandere did would be surprising.
Even after Satou hugged Kyubey and got out of bed yet again, Kyubey was still thinking about how to get away from Satou.
Right, wasn’t he here to test whether a soul gem would turn into a Witch after corruption or if it would actually undergo a Reverse Transformation as Venalita had said?
If he wanted to accelerate the corruption of the soul gem, aside from causing a Magical Girl to have an emotional breakdown, the other way was to exhaust magic power in battle.
“Satou-chan, this world isn’t as peaceful as it looks.
The reason I sought you out is because of the appearance of Parasyte, which, like Ghouls, feed on humans.”
At school, after Kyubey explained the reason to Satou, he acted cute and rubbed against her palm:
“Just do it for me, will you eliminate those monsters?”
Satou really fell for that trick.
Seeing Kyubey rely on her so much, her heart nearly melted:
“No problem, I will eliminate them.”
After school, Satou went to work at the cafe called RING.
This time, not only was Taki there, but a girl with long pink hair and a girl with short gray hair were also present.
In order to keep more people from seeing Kyubey, Satou even brought a bag to work at the cafe to keep him inside.
It wasn’t comfortable at all!
Taki just frowned at the sight but didn’t say anything.
The girl named Anon was inviting Tomori to form a Band with her.
“Hey!
Don’t mention a Band in front of Tomori!” Hearing Anon bring up a Band in front of Tomori, Taki spoke up to interrupt Anon.
“Eh?
Why?” Anon didn’t know their past, but seeing Tomori lower her head in silence, she seemed to guess something and felt very guilty:
“Sorry, Tomori-san, I’ll be more careful in the future.”
“There won’t be a future.
You’d better just leave!” Seeing Tomori become sad because the Band was mentioned, Taki shooed Anon away.
Satou ignored the commotion over there and just did her job.
Although serving with a bag on her back looked quite strange, there was no strict rule saying she had to wear it.
The cafe closed near nine in the evening.
It is worth mentioning that the male teacher who was stalking her yesterday didn’t come to school today, nor did he come to stalk Satou again.
“Satou-chan, can you not watch me so closely?” Kyubey crawled out of the bag to express his dissatisfaction.
“But I don’t want Kyubey-kun to leave my sight.
What if Kyubey-kun runs away?” Satou looked aggrieved.
Kyubey was so angry he laughed.
She had only wished to fall in love with him, but it was essentially a love that was selfish to the extreme.
“Satou-chan, if someone were inseparable from you, watching you every single moment, and not letting you interact with anyone else, would you be happy?”
“Of course I would be happy, because that means he cares about me and doesn’t want anyone else to touch me.”
Satou’s answer left Kyubey speechless; he was actually trying to use logic with a lunatic.
So he changed the subject: “Satou-chan, are you ready to face the monsters?”
“Mm, I’m ready.
Take me to find those man-eating monsters, Kyubey-kun.”
There wasn’t a shred of fear on Satou’s face regarding the man-eaters; for her, as long as Kyubey didn’t leave her, she was willing to do anything.
Thus, Kyubey guided Satou, specifically looking for Ghouls or Parasyte in sparsely populated alleys and lanes.
Sure enough, they found a Parasyte in a classic alleyway.
A corpse that had been gnawed beyond recognition lay on the ground, with a girl crouching over it, feasting.
Noticing Satou, she slowly stood up and walked stiffly toward her.
Really, not a bit of improvement.
It wasn’t the first or second time they had encountered a Parasyte, but these Parasyte all acted completely unlike humans; you could tell at a glance they weren’t human.
“Transform and kill it.”
“Transform.”
Hearing Kyubey’s words, Satou grabbed the pendant hanging in front of her chest, and the pink gem flashed.
A pink and white dress replaced her clothes, and her sneakers turned into white boots.
After witnessing this, the Parasyte opposite her paused for a moment.
But in that split second of distraction, the Parasyte’s vision spun, its body fell limply, and blood gushed from its neck.
After the head fell, it didn’t die immediately; two axe-like blades sprouted out, trying to escape from Satou.
Bang!
With one stomp, Satou crushed the Parasyte into a pile of debris, even cracking the ground beneath her feet.
Even facing the blood covering the ground and the foul stench of the corpse, Satou didn’t show a hint of discomfort, as if she were a born killer.
She still held a delicate small knife in her hand, which was dripping with blood.
“How was that?
Kyubey, I killed this Parasyte.”
Satou sought credit from Kyubey.
“Very good.
For your first battle, your performance was unexpected.”
Satou’s decisiveness in killing truly made Kyubey break out in a cold sweat.
However, thinking about how she didn’t hesitate to kill for the first time in the original work, he felt relieved.
“Then let’s go find the next one.”
Since she was so useful, he might as well use her to the fullest.
Facing Kyubey’s request, Satou agreed without a second thought; for her, as long as Kyubey didn’t leave her, she would agree to anything.
And so…
The second, the third, the fourth…
In various alleys and obscure lanes, Satou could accurately find these creatures eating humans in secret, and occasionally a Ghoul would appear.
But most were killed instantly by Satou with one strike after their identities were confirmed.
After killing the tenth Parasyte, Kyubey quickly called a halt: “That’s enough for today!
Let’s go home first.”
Kyubey knew that Parasyte and these sub-S-rank Ghouls were nothing more than street dogs to a Magical Girl, but it was truly disappointing that they couldn’t even consume her magic power.
These monsters could only bully ordinary people.
Without a Witch, and at this rate, unless they ran into Takatsuki Sen or a large group of Ghouls, it might not even be possible to exhaust her magic power to the point of complete corruption even after killing for years.
However, after returning downstairs to the Matsuzaka residence, a suddenly appearing monster made Kyubey’s eyes widen.
“Ugh…”
In the gloomy environment, a lumpy, even disgusting and bloated monster walked toward Satou while asking:
“Can you…
see me?”
A vengeful spirit?
Seeing this mass of creatures, Kyubey felt completely numb.
“What kind of world have I come to?”
Thinking of the Parasyte, Ghouls, and these characters from various anime worlds he had encountered, he felt it was chaotic enough.
Now there’s a vengeful spirit too?
Could it be that Yotsuya Miko or even Jujutsu Kaisen is here too?
Mentioning vengeful spirits, those two names immediately popped into Kyubey’s mind.
And Satou wasn’t afraid of this vengeful spirit either, but seeing Kyubey’s dull gaze, she thought he was scared, and her expression immediately fell:
“Transform.”
The familiar outfit returned, and several throwing knives formed and were all thrown by Satou at the vengeful spirit.
The moment the vengeful spirit was struck by the throwing knives, it vanished into thin air.
However, Kyubey no longer cared what happened to the vengeful spirit; he was still thinking.
Thinking about how to get through the days ahead.
He couldn’t stay with this lunatic for the rest of his life.
However…
Are Magical Girls really this strong?
