Eight o’clock at night.
Under the moonlight, the silver-haired girl holding a scepter looked at the corpse of a Ghoul on the ground, unable to hide her disappointment.
“Well, this was just a B-grade Ghoul.
With the power of a Magical Girl, it’s only natural that you could crush a Ghoul of this level.”
Kyubey didn’t feel surprised in the slightest.
Even just looking at base stats, a Magical Girl created by Kyubey far exceeds an ordinary Ghoul, not to mention the most important part: the ability gained from the wish.
“Then, Kyubey, do you know where there are any S-grade or higher Ghouls?”
Sakayanagi Arisu wanted to see just what she was capable of.
“I know of some, but those Ghouls only eat corpses, and my contractors are also there.” The Ghouls Kyubey had seen so far were all concentrated in the café.
Sakayanagi Arisu had no need to waste magic power on these Ghouls that wouldn’t actively threaten her.
“Oh?
Are my seniors there?
Could you take me to meet them?” Sakayanagi Arisu was curious about what other Magical Girls were like.
“I’ll let you meet when there’s time.
You should get along well then.”
If possible, Kyubey really didn’t want these Magical Girls to kill each other; this was also the reason why it hadn’t sensed the existence of any Grief Seeds.
“Let’s head back for today…”
Before Sakayanagi Arisu could finish her sentence, she sensed footsteps nearby.
Her expression turned serious, and she pointed her scepter toward the intersection.
From the side of the wall at the intersection, two female students emerged, expressionless and devoid of any humanity.
Their pace was slow as they walked toward Sakayanagi Arisu.
“Stop!”
Sakayanagi Arisu raised her scepter and shouted to stop them.
However, the two girls didn’t stop.
As they slowly advanced, their heads split open, exposing disgusting black and white eyeballs.
Four axe blades flew straight toward Sakayanagi Arisu.
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~
The sound of metal clashing rang out, but it wasn’t because Sakayanagi Arisu had blocked the attack with her scepter.
It was because a humanoid Royal Guard made of chocolate had appeared out of thin air around Sakayanagi Arisu.
It was composed of seven chocolate soldiers: an Archer, a Knight, a Halberdier, a Swordsman, an Assassin, a Mage, and a Shieldbearer.
The Mage’s appearance resembled Sakayanagi Arisu herself.
Seeing these chocolate soldiers, the two Parasyte on the opposite side rolled their black and white eyeballs continuously; their intelligence couldn’t comprehend this scene for a moment.
“Shieldbearer, take cover.
Knight and Halberdier, press forward.
Berserker, attack.
Create an opportunity for the Archer, and Mage, provide support.”
Sakayanagi Arisu quickly issued orders to these chocolate soldiers while glancing at the chocolate Assassin, who quietly concealed its figure.
Sakayanagi Arisu had still underestimated her own ability; she had intended to experience commanding a legion in coordinated combat.
The four axe blades of the two Parasyte were sliced off in one strike by the Knight, Swordsman, and Berserker.
The axe blades, which could block bullets, were easily chopped down.
Feeling pain, the two Parasyte finally experienced the first emotion born after parasitizing humans.
Fear.
An arrow made of chocolate pierced one Parasyte’s head, and the chocolate Assassin, having circled behind, sliced open the other Parasyte’s head with one blade. Find the original chapter at NovelPing.
The Parasyte that lost its body struggled on the ground, searching for a new body, but the Berserker descended from the sky and stomped it into meat paste.
“So this is my ability as a Magical Girl.
It seems it provides power entirely based on my preferences.”
Sakayanagi Arisu had gained a slight understanding of the composition of her power and ability.
This chocolate Royal Guard simultaneously satisfied her deep-seated ambition and her love for snacks.
“Kyubey, my performance wasn’t bad, right?”
After letting the chocolate Royal Guard disappear, Sakayanagi Arisu returned to her original form and showed off to Kyubey with a bit of pride.
“Not bad, like a real Magical Girl.
But you’d better use it less in the future.”
Remembering Kaori’s cringe-worthy physical combat, Sakayanagi Arisu’s performance was indeed much stronger.
“Let’s call it a day.
Kyubey, do you want to come home with me?”
Sakayanagi Arisu extended an invitation to Kyubey.
“There’s no need for me.
Regarding Magical Girl matters, unless absolutely necessary, don’t tell anyone, not even your family.”
Kyubey didn’t want more people to know of its existence.
The fact that it had been self-restrained and well-behaved until now was entirely due to its conscience; if it were even slightly less human-like, Neon Province would soon be crawling with Magical Girls and Witches.
“Is that so?
That’s a shame.
If you ever want to come to my house, you’re always welcome.
Also, I will keep my promise.” Sakayanagi Arisu nodded, not pressing Kyubey to stay.
Kyubey and Sakayanagi Arisu parted ways here; there was no need to worry about her encountering any accidents.
SSS-grade Ghouls didn’t live here; as long as Sakayanagi Arisu wasn’t foolish enough to place her soul gem in a location easily attacked, she would be fine.
“The third Magical Girl has been signed just like that.
What kind of changes can she bring to this region?”
“Forget it, why worry so much?
As long as she doesn’t harm the innocent, I’ll let her do as she pleases.”
Kyubey felt there was no need to worry about Sakayanagi Arisu.
Even without Grief Seeds, her psychological resilience wouldn’t become corrupted so quickly.
Come to think of it, the girls signed so far didn’t seem to have any psychological issues.
It was still more worry-free to sign these adults.
Those younger ones were each more troublesome than the last.
…
“What kind of joke is this?”
With nothing to do, Kyubey planned to head to the girls’ school where Sakiko was to check on the girls around her, but unexpectedly encountered an unforeseen figure.
Inside Haneoka Girls High School, a girl with short, deep purple hair was walking alone in the corridor.
Even though her looks were not low, her presence was extremely weak.
If not for her unimaginable aptitude and the impression she left, Kyubey wouldn’t have noticed her.
Her name was Hiiragi Utena, and she also had a nickname called Magia Baiser.
On the surface, she was a very weak and quiet girl, the kind that wouldn’t stand out among the general public.
In reality…
“To think she’s here too.
What kind of world is this made of, exactly?”
Kyubey didn’t see any monsters, nor did it see any other Magical Girls appear.
Given the worldview of that anime, if there were Magical Girls, they would have been famous long ago, unlike now where they only existed in anime. You are reading on novelping(.)com, the official source.
“Could there be a Mini Hyper Zetton too?”
“You guessed right!”
While Kyubey was still talking to itself, a voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Kyubey so much that it reflexively did a handstand, its two large ears curling up together.
“How did you appear???”
A black mascot appeared before Kyubey’s eyes, looking at Kyubey with great interest:
“But I’m not called any Mini Hyper Zetton.
I’m called Venalita.
I didn’t expect to meet a peer here.”
“Why are you here?
What do you want to do?” Kyubey stared at Venalita as if facing a great enemy, ready to run away at any moment.
“The same as you, scouting candidates for Magical Girls.
That child you just saw has already been snatched up by me, you know?” Venalita didn’t mind Kyubey’s vigilance, instead informing it truthfully.
Huh?
Hiiragi Utena had already signed with it?
Why could it still see her aptitude?
“Originally, I wanted to sign Hiiragi Utena and make her an evil organization female executive to bring some fun to this world, but after seeing you, I changed my mind.”
Venalita revealed an evil smile:
“You sign Magical Girls, and I’ll go create evil female executives.
After clearing out the unrelated ones first, we’ll create conditions to make them fight each other.”
“I refuse.” Kyubey didn’t even think about it.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to refuse.
Don’t you think this world is too boring?
If you’re worried that those girls will die, there’s no need; I don’t like death, I just need to make them fight.”
“What benefit does this have for you?” Kyubey’s knowledge of Venalita was limited to anime.
“It’s fun.”
“Just because of this?” Kyubey widened its eyes.
“What else could it be for?
Did you think I would have some great ideal?”
“From now on, we are partners.
I won’t fight you for people.
What is your name?” Venalita even disregarded Kyubey’s opinion and unilaterally decided they were partners.
“Kyubey.
Don’t count on me cooperating with you.”
“Kyubey?
Seems like I’ve heard of it, but I’ve pretty much forgotten.”
Venalita seemed to say it casually, but Kyubey called out to stop it:
“Where did you hear of it?”
“I don’t know, I’ve forgotten.
If you’re worried about these girls, I don’t think it’s necessary.
The feeling you give me is no different from a human.”
It definitely knew something!
Kyubey chased after Venalita, while Venalita flew back into the school and came to the side of that weak-spirited girl.
