Chapter 14: Please Stay Calm!

the magical girls of war: Obsessive Tendencies

Before anyone could say anything else, the Stoic Samurai lunged.

Her katana flashed.

The werewolf blocked.

At the same time, the Maniac rushed in from the bleachers, cracking her knuckles and grinning like she had just found the greatest entertainment of her life.

"Finally!" she shouted. "Something fluffy I can punch!"

The werewolf immediately changed targets.

"HEY!" Maniac yelled. "Fight me!"

Instead, the beast lunged past her.

Straight toward the terrified crowd.

And right in front of them...

A girl in a frilly green magical dress suddenly appeared.

She raised her hands frantically.

"E-Everyone please stay calm!" she squeaked. "D-Don't panic! Please evacuate through the double doors and stay away from the creature!"

Nobody moved.

Nobody recognized her.

Everyone was simply too terrified.

The green girl blinked.

"...They're not listening to me."

Her lip trembled.

"Oh no."

She grabbed her head.

"I'M A FAILURE!"

The werewolf roared and charged.

The girl immediately crouched down, sobbing.

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

The werewolf sailed directly over her.

"...Huh?" Pink blinked.

The beast looked equally confused.

It crashed headfirst into the basketball storage rack with a metallic CLANG and stumbled backward, stars circling its head.

The green girl peeked up.

She sniffled.

"Wait..."

She looked around.

"Did I almost die?!"

Fresh tears poured down her face.

"I'm so useless I didn't even notice!"

She threw the megaphone she was holding in frustration.

Everyone watched it fly.

And fly.

And somehow strike the chain holding the basketball hoop.

The bolts snapped.

The entire hoop came crashing down.

BONK!

It landed squarely on the werewolf's head.

The giant beast collapsed face first onto the gym floor.

Silence.

Pink stared.

Smiling Girl stared.

Stoic Samurai girl stared.

Maniac stared.

The green magical girl stared.

"...Did I do that?" she asked.

Everyone pointed at her.

"YOU!!"

The green girl burst into tears again.

"I'M SORRY!"

Maniac scratched her cheek nervously.

"Uh..."

She looked around at the others.

"You guys go here too?"

Suki crossed her arms.

"I believe that is now statistically likely."

Pink looked between everyone.

"Wait..."

He pointed at Stoic girl.

"You're my classmate?!"

Then at Maniac.

"YOU TOO?!"

Meanwhile...

Outside the auditorium.

Just beyond the doors.

Grey Girl was asleep on a bench.

A pigeon was standing on her head.

She snored softly.

The world could end three more times and she still wouldn't wake up.
