chapter 99




One year has already passed since I’ve become a Magical Girl .
“The information is not enough . ”
Maki-ane said that when I had over 60,000 subjugated monsters and Maki-ane exceeded 80,000 subjugated monsters .
Originally, when the two of us became Magical Girls, there were 3 senior Magical Girls in Kanagawa .
Two of them were 2nd year in high school and the other one was 3rd year .
They accepted us with kindness . And then, they were teaching us the fundamentals of fighting as Magical Girls .
Then, we joined together however… They didn’t understand the importance of fighting against people— And an incident occured .
—Abeno’s main family assaults the abandoned hospital .
Japan’s exorcists appeared at our abandoned hospital where we were staying at and a fight broke out .
It seems that the operation was mobilized by a significant number of personnel, the 3 seniors went into full burst even when they cannot handle second burst .
And the two of us, managed somehow to get through the situation with just locking techniques .
And then, the end of the Magical Girls who used Full Burst overnight changed into old women .
Their dementia progressed rapidly . No, far from dementia, they’ll die within one week from old age if chakra is not distributed to them .
This side’s damage was 3 people being old .
The other side had 45 people dead .
“This is problematic . ”
I remember that Maki-ane made an futile expression while looking at the sky .
Like this, we couldn’t lead a normal life anymore .
With the nursing of three people, it became obvious that just the two of us will have to gather chakra for five people .
According to Domin, there seems to be a lot of cases like this .
Chased by local exorcists then performing a full burst and then transforming into old women .
By the way, this time it’s treated as death in battle so according to Domin’s statistics they won’t be treated as Magical Girls dying from old age .
And so, Maki-ane’s advocated combat techniques against people was immediate .
To bait with ability as an Magical Girl and kill with joint locking techniques .
I was completely trained in the arm locking technique so thanks to it I had reached where I can use it practically .
But Maki-ane’s versatility played an active role in the battlefield .
And then, the words “The information is not enough” from the start come back .
—Subjugation of 100, 000 monsters .
Domin said that at that point you’ll receive the power to interfere with the system .
If I take his words at face value then stopping this system isn’t a dream too .
But, the origin of those words is… The cause that led us in the middle of the night .
Naturally there’s not even a fragment of credibility in the words .
“When you defeat 100, 000 monsters something will happen . It’s a story of where we might be able to change our destiny of certain death . ”
“Un . ”
“But, without knowing anything there’s no way we can reach 100, 000 just empty fisted . ”
“Un, that’s right . ”
“The local exorcist organizations know more about Magical Girls than we do . That’s why they attacked us . The Magical Girl’s history is over 1000 years . Naturally, there should be literature remaining . In that case—”
“I get it, Maki-ane . In that case, the chance we have at this moment… Me and Maki-ane will attack and we’ll find out everything we need to find out . ”
Honestly speaking, today during the assault Maki-ane alone took down 20 people .
Our opponents probably didn’t think even in the slightest they’ll suffer a crushing defeat to the theory of having surplus fighting power .
I’m certain they’re chain of command is panicking… That’s why, we plan to attack the Abeno main family after moving the three to the nearby closed hospital .
“It’s going to be difficult . The opponent is an armed group… There’s no guarantee to return alive, you know?”
Maki said that and smiled fleetingly .
“Haha, we’ve come such a long way… Haven’t we shared a lot with each other already? Anyhow, I was already dying in the traffic accident . ”
“Hey, Maria-chan? I’m about to say something strange now . ”
“Hm?”
“I’m an only child . So, I always wanted a younger sister . ”
“As for me I have a brother however, I’ve wanted an older sister, too . ”
“If I really had a younger sister probably she would’ve been like you… Why am I think about that right now . ”
I instinctively bursted out .
“Haha!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I was thinking the same . ”
And then we both have huge smiles floating on our faces and we shook hands .
Speaking from conclusion, we used a second burst to increase our power as Magical Girls .
The chakra exhaustion was not a joking matter however, the surprise attack on the main Abeno family was successful and after retrieving the desired items we successfully ditched our pursuers and escaped .
Because we saved chakra to the utmost limit, I lost the sense in my right foot and then Maki-ane who was excessive lost vision in her right eye .
But, in exchange for the lost parts we were able to receive information that’s worth more than them .
Me and Maki-ane read the old literature for two days without sleeping in the new place close school that we are staying at .
And then, we came to one conclusion .
“The reason Magical Girls are hunted is exactly like I expected . ”
“Well, if you’re driven to this situation… There’s no other choice to involve ordinary people without pretending about appearances . ”
“But, a phenomenon happens after defeating 100,000 monsters . This information is huge . ”
“The singularity outbreak . But, Domin… is really not horrible? I’m talking about the story of a possibility to save ourselves by defeating 100,000 monsters . ”
“It can’t be helped to expect an honest response from the God of Death . To begin with that thing seems to be a facilitator in the system… He’s definitely not on our side . ”
“Also, what’s the advancer, anything but just an sacrifice?”
“Yeah, a phenomenon that happens when the advancer has slaughtered 100,000 monsters… It’s really disgusting…”
“This core of the system… The clone created from Himiko is in a place where the dimension is shifted . The Himiko clone that’s in that dimension and our Magical Sticks that have Himiko’s cells are linked to each other . That’s why we can gain experience by receiving favor from Himiko’s genetics . ”
“And then, the local organizations can’t fundamentally solve it since the system’s core is before the dimension shift . As for dealing with treatment, there’s no other choice but to dispose of us . ”
“However, routine supply of chakra is also necessary for Himiko’s Clone… As a living being it needs nutrition to live . That is to become the strongest Magical Girl class by defeating 100,000 monsters . ”
“A singularity from the different world that will happen in this world . For that abnormality, the active Magical Girls are sending chakra to Himiko . ”
“And then, the original objective of the system is…”
“Obtaining skill points . ”
“The Magical Girl’s are humans adapted for acquiring skill points . And then, we are primarily being exploited from the points we are earning . ”
“We who’re puppets and acquire skill points from monsters and we’re taking a cut from it by leveling up . ”
“Hey, Maki-ane?”
“What?”
“The system’s creator Doumen what did he really want to do?”
“Isn’t it about wanting to become a God? Well, the creator died but his system survived and the current situation is like a nightmare . And then, there’s one huge event singularity outbreak—”
Then, Maki-ane nodded greatly .
“We’ll turn the tables there . ”
“Turning the tables?”
“Originally, the advancer is live bait, Himiko’s clone will kill it and then steal the chakra . ”
“Un, that’s right . ”
“But, I’m different . I’m not a normal Magical Girl . ”
「……？」
“No, if it’s me… I can disrupt the system…”
“What do you mean?”
“If you hit Himiko the core of the system, the system will vanish . ”
“But…”
“Yeah, if I become an advancer now I’ll just be bait . And then, you can’t attack the other side from here . You can’t touch Himiko other than being the bait . However, this time’s bait… has fangs . ”
I see, I nod .
“Magical Girl style fighting techniques . ”
“If I’m going to die anyway then it might as well be showy . So, If all goes well it will be solved like that . ”
*Haha* and Maki-ane laughed like she was astounded .
“Yeah, it’s as you say . But, it’s also true that with this hope was born . Practically, won’t you just be beaten?”
“Un . To the very end… if I’m going to then I should struggle to the utmost I can . ”
Maki-ane gulped and nodded .
And then, I looked at the faces of everyone lying on beds in the closed school .
“Assuming everything goes well— I think everyone who has been deprived of chakra can’t go back . But, in that case no more chakras will be taken . ”
“No need to die, huh…”
And then, we hunted every night for the replenishment of five people .
Er, on the contrary we didn’t return home, in the daytime we also continued hunting monsters without having time to rest .
Everything is to defeat 100,000 monsters and be an advancer… And then penetrate the system like a straight bullet .
