The very same dayâs night there was a new moon in the sky .
Abeno Kaguya and I shrugged our shoulders .
âNow, letâs achieve our quota . â
Abeno Kaguya replies with a fed up expression to my words .
âBut this is troubling for both of usâŚâ
âWell, itâs inevitable that we would be managed from the top since we are superpower users . If we donât pretend that weâre following them even merely for formalities sake then it will be troublesome in the future . â
At 2 am night the so called dead of the night, we continued exchanging words to each other while jumping from a building to a building in the business district .
âHowever⌠As of recent times, theyâve increased a lot . â
âThanks to that we can fulfill our quota easily, but⌠Itâs strange . â
âWhatâs strange?â
âNothing is getting caught by the Enemy Search . â
âWhat do you mean?â
âHonestly speaking⌠I noticed it earlier however, the monster numbers strangely decreases as the new moon approaches . â
âYou mean that there are other people other than us who are hunting them?â
âSeems that way . â
âBut, isnât it strange? The power of superpower users increases when the full moon approaches but when the new moon approaches their power weakens, this is common sense, right? Well, itâs insignificant but it can end your life short . â
âYeah, thatâs right . I also noticed that late in the past . Well, in my case since I had leveled up⌠I noticed that it was a miscalculation that could be completely ignored . â
âThatâs because youâre special, isnât it? So why are there exorcists when the new moon is approaching . â
Then, Abeno Kaguya stopped .
âHey, Lela Sakaguchi?â
âWhat?â
âDo you know the words Magical girl?â
âMagical girl? Like those in anime or something?â
âYeah, itâs okay that you recognize them . â
âWell, I do know them, butâŚâ
Abeno Kaguya nodded to me who was making a dubious expression .
âI understand . I get it from that reply . â
âHmâŚ?â
âI got it that you donât know anything . â
âWhat do you mean?â
âWell then, Iâll put it in words you can understand . Witches, or are you aware of them by the words Genociders?â
âMedieval Europeâs tragedy . Theyâre the bitter enemy of the Vatican . Thereâs no way I canât know them . â
Abeno Kaguya brushed her long hair .
âFinally, my Enemy Search caught something . â
âThe monsters?â
âNo, itâs different . Itâs the magical girl . Their activity is increased by the new moon so they must perform monster slaying . If thatâs so then there are no people other than them for this . â
ăâŚâŚďźă
âWell then letâs go meet them . Morishita-kun has to focus on recovering his MP for a while . Thatâs why I came with you so that weâll be able to deal with anything . â
âTo go and meet who?â
âMagical girls⌠Witches, no, the genociders . â
âEh?â
âFrom here on it will be an adultâs bloody fairytale . It wonât end up like the ending in the literature⌠Prepare yourself . â
âWait a bit, what do you mean?â
âThis is a problem that my house as descendants of Abe Seimei have to solve . â
âAbe Seimei⌠How old is that storyâŚ?â
âThat time, things couldnât be settled clearly . The result⌠They didnât just trouble Japan but also Medieval Europe . I beg for your cooperation . â
Abeno Kaguya bowed her head to me .
Rather, this woman is bowing her head to me?
It seems there are unavoidable circumstances .
Yeah⌠I thought for a bit and then nodded .
âI got it . But, with this you write one of my debts off, okay?â
And thenâ
Speaking from the conclusion, the shrine where the Nine-tails was disposed, it was now full with demons .
There were corpses of low monsters rolling around and the putrid smell of death was all over .
All of the humanoid monsters had their joints destroyed and the non-humanoid demon joints were also destroyed .
The monsters without joints can be said that they have been beaten to death .
âHaha, hahaha!â
In the large number of corpses there was a black-skinned girl that wore purple excessive frilly clothes and she was laughing .
âThis is the best! Itâs all you can kill with my techniques! Thereâs nothing more enjoyable than this to relieve stress! Magical girl system is more fun than zombie slaughter games!â
âTsukimiya⌠Shizuku?â
Abeno Kaguya nodded and then said .
âThatâs right, that is a magical girl . I asked you earlier but, you know the story about witch hunts, right?â
âThat originated from this side . â
âWhy do you think the Vatican was bloody?â
âThatâs because they were unreasonable . To exterminate the monsters anything goes for them and they involved ordinary peopleâŚâ
âAs you say, in the end theyâre that extreme . Right now that is as strong as I was when I first met Morishita-kun . Look at it and think, a lower level existence than me and you right nowâŚYou think that the Vatican is going to put pressure and make an official notice to the surface world? And then the result is going to be like one of the major incidents in the dark history of medieval ages . â
âTherefore, what are you on about?â
âOne by one are not that great . But, that⌠is endlessly excited . Thatâs the problem . â
âSo that class has their sense in the head broken and theyâre endlessly excited?â
âYeah, theyâre a group of shuraâs mass produced instantly . â
âShuras?â
âIn the west theyâre called witches, and then in Japan they are called human shuras . â
âWhat do you mean? Witches is a western concept . â
âAs I said earlier, in the West theyâve displayed menace for a long time and then finally they came to Japan . Wonât you leave this case to me?â
âLeaving it to you?â
âThis is a problem that as a Abeno I must solve it . â
âI donât get you in the slightest, but . â
âIâll explain to you eventually . Well for today just say still and watch . â
And Tsukimiya Shizuku noticed me and while licking her lips she opened her mouth to talk .
âOoh, if it isnât the loser dog!â
âWhatâs⌠up with that outfit?â
âHaha, well it may look like this but it raises your physical ability stupidly . Rather, what are you wearingâŚ?â
She made a relaxed smile while seeing me in my magical clothes .
âI see, you also have special circumstances . I knew it was strange for a normal high school student girl to know martial arts . Okay, letâs settle our differences here! Though saying that, you knew the power of a magical girl⌠You were feigning innocence? As I am now⌠I canât fight you . In that caseââ
Tsukimiya Shizukuâs spiritual force tremendously rose up .
At the same time a darkish purple aura was enveloping her .
âBursto! Magical girl second form!â
Originally her magical clothes gave over a top feeling and now they were becoming even more .
If the previous clothes were sweet lolita, now they were gothic lolita clothes .
And then, Tsukimiya Shizukuâs eyes were glinting with a mixture of madness .
âI see . As I thought she fits as in legends . â
Abeno Kaguya nodded with a straight face and Tsukimiya Shizuka began laughing under the new moon .
âHaha! So this is the second form! The power is overflowing⌠Hahaha! I feel amazingly! Right now I can even break the joints of the JGSDF tanks! Haha! Hahahahaha!â
And then Tsukimiya Shizuku smiled .
âNo matter how you look at it you canât go against me! Donât complain if I kill you! Iâll show you the hundred Magical-girl joint style of hell submission!â (TN: Ah yes, I like sticking things and calling them out, the ultra mega ultimate super mach-12 speed killing dive kick technique from space . )
Without giving us time to argue back she came attacking me and Abeno Kaguya .
Side: Morishita Daiki
Next morning .
While I was having breakfast my mom called out to me with a strange look .
âDaiki-chan?â
âWhat is it, Mom?â
âBasicallyâŚâ
âFumu . â
âItâs about Maria, butâŚâ
âLooks like sheâs difficultâŚâ
âI have something to discuss . â
âWith me?â
âThatâs right . Father is on a long-term overseas business trip⌠so right now the only male here is Daiki-chan . â
âSo, whatâs wrong?â
âBasically . In these past 4 months, about 1 million yen have been extracted from Fatherâs bank account in several parts . Probably⌠No, without a doubt it was Maria-chan⌠If she said it was necessary money, she wouldnât take it all at once⌠I want to believe that she has the minimum conscience left . â
Oi, oi seriously .
Thatâs not even the slightest funny .
She made bad friends, doesnât go to school and every night goes out and returns in the morning .
Despite having that many things to think about as her older brother, she extracted money from her parentâs account?
âAlso, was it Maki-chan?â (TN: Never heard of this person until now, but Iâll go with this person being female . )
âThe senior student that she has been close with since primary school . Right now, Maki-chan is in her 1st year in high school . â
âIt seems sheâs hanging out with that girl even now⌠Thereâs nothing but bad rumors about that girl . â
âLike?â
âSomehow it seems that girl had been shoplifting and stealing . â
Oi, oi it seems totally like sheâs on the wrong path due to her bad friends .
Now, what should I do⌠And my headache gets stronger .
âIt seems everyone thatâs close in the group with Maki-chan isnât returning home . â
And my mobile phoneâs alarm rang .
Itâs time to go to school or Iâll be late .
âI got it, Mom . Leave this matter to me . First, I have to go to school . â
âOkay . â
And then with my bag in one hand I headed to the entrance .
âHow do I say this, 1 millionâŚâ
Why does she need so much money?
Did she get involved with drugs, too? Or possible in a host club?
âSeriously⌠The situation is not a joking matter . â
Haa⌠I sighed .
The worst case is considering to use force against the bad groupâŚ
While thinking that I opened the door and headed to School .
I tried to greet Lela before I sat on my chair .
But, somehow she was giving out an aura of do not disturb me so I quietly sat on my chair .
Before long the black gal appeared .
Her right eye looked white and instead of holding the bag on her right hand she was holding it on her left .
Rather, I was speechless .
âOi, Lela?â
âWhat is it?â
âHer right eye canât see and her right hand canât move, too . I dislocated her right shoulder yesterday but it should be able to be fixed completely . Probably both from her nerves should be defective . â
âYup . Probably thatâs so, I think . â
âBesides, her white hair has strangely increased . â
âThis is not probably, but it really increased . â
âYou⌠what did you do to Tsukimiya-san?â
Now that I remember she did say something like to kidnap her yesterday .
Basically anything goes for the VaticanâŚ
Lela shook her head left and right .
âI didnât do anything! I havenât done anything to her!â
I drew closer to Lela .
âYou didnât do anything, but something did happen?â
âYesâŚâ
âWhat happened?â
âEven I donât know . â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe truth isâŚâ
According to Lela, yesterday together with Abeno-senpai contacted Tsukimiya-san and she was a master of dark arts .
So, after awakening something, she attacked at a high speed and then fledâŚ
âWhy did she run away?â
âAs a matter of fact, I am able to deal with her . Even the awakened Tsukimiya Shizuku has the same power as Abeno Kaguya during the Nine-Tails case . But, Abeno Kaguya said that it will self-destructâŚâ
âSelf-destruct?â
âI was surprised too! So all of a sudden itâs about that!â
âAbeno-senpai?â
âAbeno familyâs private parts, so right now even if you want me to tell you in detail I wonât tell you anything!â
Fumu⌠This seems like a story to be ignored .
That womanâs pride is fundamentally shitty high . Thanks to that she was also in danger at the time of the Nine-Tails .
Rather, thereâs Maria and then this, there are too many events .
I got from my chair and tried going to Tsukimiya-san .
âNot allowed . Stop!â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI have a message from Abeno Kaguya . âYou must recover your MP right now . This is an Abeno familyâs problem . Besides if Iâm truly in trouble Iâll request help from youâŚâ thatâs the message . â
âHow irksomeâŚâ
Although, I didnât have mana in the Linford case so I caused trouble for Abeno-senpai hence I canât make a firm attitude .
If she wasnât there then that case wouldâve went different .
So, somehow I value her skillfulness in fights . If she doesnât want me to intervene yet then it hasnât come to that .
Since Japanâs underground organization problem in the future it will also become my problem .
Although they are keeping their pride skillfully, substantially Lela and Abeno Kaguya are under my protection and they are both aware of it .
No matter what happens Iâm the decisive weapon and Iâm useless without MP .
Well, Iâll follow Abeno-senpaiâs intention here .
âAt any rate⌠The situation really became troublesome . â
