After the battle with the Diest, Elephant, Blade, and Press had gathered at a coffee shop in the Magical World.

Blade is operating something while staring at Magiphone as if she is glaring at her. Press was having bubbling melon soda while looking at Blade with a sideways glance. The air is not very good, but they are not fighting, so Elephant does not intend to say anything in particular, and silently brings the pancake to her mouth.

 

Suddenly, Blade stopped operating the magiphone. Immediately after, the tabletop around which the three men were gathered began to glow, and a pumpkin-headed Jack appeared.

 

「Oh no～ I was late–ran! Sorry–ran!」(TN : Jack's sorry was insincere)

「What is that Magical Girl?」

 

When Jack spoke up as if nothing had happened, as if he had once supported the three of them, Blade cut directly to the inquiry.

 

After the fight, Blade immediately contacted Jack to hear about the Magical Girl Tyrant Sylph. Blade, who rarely stop by the Magical World, are here now because Jack had assigned them that location.

There is no need to specify a place if he is not willing to talk. She don't know to what extent, but Jack has the will to tell about Tyrant Sylph's story. Braid decided so and asked what she wanted to ask, skipping the extra steps.

 

「I'm sure you guys have done a little research on this, are you–ran? I need you to at least think about what it means for me to be by her side–ran.」

「Magical Girl, Tyrant Sylph. The new Magical Girl of Sakira Town. She became a Magical Girl roughly a week ago, and the magic she uses is wind. That's about all I can find out.」

「As expected of Blade–ran. The brains of the team are alive and well–ran.」

「Don't flatter yourself. You know what we mean, don't you? What is that strength? I can't believe she's that new.」

 

Blade's attitude is that she has no intention of talking about anything else. Press and Elephant also stop their mouths and hands and look at Jack.

Blade had been like this for a while and did not get along with Jack very well, but she and Press can have a light banter and she and Elephant always had a normal conversation.

The fact that these two are keeping their mouths shut, leaving it to Blade, means that Blade's question is the consensus as a team.

As for Jack, he intends to respect the wishes of the Magical Girl he is now supporting, Tyrant Sylph, to the greatest extent possible, but too much secrecy creates suspicion.

 

After a pause, Jack spoke up as if in contemplation.

 

「No wonder you guys are surprised–ran. When I first spotted her, I thought I was looking at the wrong person–ran. Elephant, remember the Diest you recently fought alone–ran」

「Eh? Erm, was it a Common-class Diest……? That's about a little over a week ago…」

 

Suddenly asked to speak, Elephant digs into her memory, upset.

A little more than a week and a night before, she had kicked over a Common-class Diest, by herself.

It doesn't take three magical girls to defeat a Common-class Diest. So she fought alone.

 

It was not an unusual story, and Elephant remembered that there was nothing in particular more to it.

 

「Elephant's perception is not wrong–ran. There's a big difference in perception between a magical girl and me–ran. As a Magical Girl, that night was nothing special–ran. It was simply one human being lost in the Deception World–ran.」

「Heeh— That's right. I didn't notice that at all.」

 

Deception World is a false world created to imitate the real world, and under normal circumstances, ordinary people who are not magical girls would not be able to blend in.

However, there is a small chance that such a situation may occur due to some irregularity. Nevertheless, few magical girls knew about it, because the Magical World side immediately sensed those who said so and sent them back to their original world.

 

「So that was Sylphy-chan then?」

「Yes–ran. Her talent as a Magical Girl was overwhelming–ran. You can see that–ran. I couldn't let that talent slip away–ran. By any means necessary–ran.」

「Ahh～ That's why you were suddenly gone that day. I mean, the way you say it, it's just too dangerous.」

「Hold on for a moment. Then what? Are you saying that you accidentally found a girl with great talent and she accidentally agreed to become a Magical Girl, and when she actually became a Magical Girl, she was extremely strong even though she was a newcomer? That's ridiculous. I don't care how much she do, it's too much.」

 

Some will have the talent. It doesn't feel strange to be a Magical Girl. But even so, Blade could not believe that she had gained such strength in about a week. Because she herself fights to a certain extent as a Magical Girl and interacts with other Magical Girls, she does not feel the reality of the situation.

For example, let's say an ordinary person, neither gifted nor not gifted, seriously engages in a sport for a year. How could they possibly surpass it in just one week, just because they have tremendous talent? And significantly so.

 

「It's not as if it's too good to be true–ran. Magic is a fundamentally different technology from the scientific civilization humans are building today–ran. That's what happens–ran.」

「But Sylph-chan, she decided to become a Magical Girl as soon as she was invited to become one. I was so worried about it, but it's great!」

 

Elephant muttered with genuine admiration.

In fact, a girl who lives a life without any inconvenience and has no yearning to become a Magical Girl would not become a Magical Girl on the spur of the moment. Most girls become magical girls after a certain degree of consideration, unless they are trapped or unable to see reality.

 

「Well, that's what you get when Sylphy-chan is really new and super strong, isn't it? So, what kind of girl is she? Jack-chin, please tell me～」

「There's not much I can say–ran. If you've seen the introduction page, you'll know–ran. Basically, a girl who doesn't like to make herself known–ran.」

「Eh～ I'd like to be her friend～ Jack, please tell her.」

 

Elephant interrupts Jack and Press to insist. Elephant sensed that Blade had sentiment for Tyrant Sylph, but she was more grateful. Without Tyrant Sylph's help, all three of them would have lost without a doubt, and she would not have helped them if she was dangerous.

 

「Let me just make sure of this. She's not a bad girl, is she?」

「She's not a bad girl–ran. She not a saintly girl, but she's also not a good girl.」

「…Then it's fine. Tell her to talk to us at least once if she don't want to be suspected. Of course, I can come out to her if she specify.」

 

Even Blade did not sincerely suspect that the person who went out of her way to help her was a bad guy. Like Elephant, she was also grateful.

But a normal Magical Girl would not have left without saying anything in that situation. This one was a dead person, and there was no reason to run away.

 

People fear the unknown. It is a fear that is engraved in our instincts, and that is why people use fire to reveal the night. Even if they are harmless, if they do not know it, they will be alarmed, fear will arise, and conflict will ensue. Mutual understanding is essential if we want to maintain peace.

 

「I, too, want to understand each other. I would be her friend if I could.」

「Me too, me too～! Tell her we'll go to the arcade together next time～」

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

 

In contrast to Blade, who muttered a tired sigh, Press was flippant and happy to tell Jack.

 

「Just to let you know, don't get your hopes up. Also, I have something to say to you guys too.」

「An errand?」

 

Jack's air, which up until then had been somewhat cavalier at best and easygoing at worst, changed to one of seriousness.

Elephant was taken aback by this change, and asked.

 

「About the Diest you guys fought today–ran. I'm sure the Magiphone will be notified by the end of the day, but I'll mention it just for the sake of reminding it–ran.」

「Just in time. I wanted to ask you that too.」

「In the notice, it was in the Baron class, and yes, it was strong like that, but, you know, it got stronger all of a sudden～」

 

Press is smiling happily, but the other two and Jack are very serious. The atmosphere is so different from usual, they wonder if they made a mistake… and experiencing an awkward feeling.

 

「We need to be stronger like Sylphy-chan!」

 

Elephant holds a clenched fist made with both hands in front of her chest and announces her determination with a snort.

 

「Well, that's true, but that's not the point.」

「That's right–ran. Recently, say yesterday and today, there have been several cases of Diests rapidly becoming stronger in the Deception World. The Magical World is working to determine the cause, but so far nothing is known.」

「We have only beaten the Baron-class at the maximum, but what is that today in terms of class?」

「Vikant-class, it was stronger among them–ran.」

 

Originally, the way Blade felt it was fighting, it was about as strong as a normal Baron class. It rapidly became stronger to the upper Vikant-class.

 

「Data from yesterday and today show that in some cases, the maximum increase is two ranks–ran. The Baron class is now the Earl-class–ran.」

「What happened to the Magical Girls who were fighting then?」

「Accidentally, Poison Bug Witch was nearby–ran. Injuries are zero–ran.」

「A Witch… she was a Magical Girl in Phase 3.」

 

Of the more than 10,000 magical girls, only 12 exist at the highest level of strength. The point of achievement for magical girls. All of them are capable of kicking out a Marquis-class single-handedly, and if several of them get together, they can even defeat a Duke-class. That is Phase 3, the Magical Girl who opened the third gate. Also known as a Witch.

 

「Witches can't always come to the rescue–ran. So from now on, you will be notified of the occurrence of a Diest one rank down from your original rank–ran.」

「Eh—! My earnings will drop!」

 

The quiet Press held her head in her hands as if in surprise. If they did not receive notifications, they could not participate in the battle to defeat the Diests, and if the ranks of those notifications were lowered, it was only natural that the points they could obtain would also be lowered.

 

「Life is what makes a species. Having said that…」

 

Not every district has Witches or Phase 2 Magical Girls. Naturally, there are a number of districts that have only Phase 1 Magical Girls, as has been the case in Sakira Town.

In the event of a strong Diest in such a district, the system is designed to notify the Magical Girls in the nearest district. However, the greater the distance, the longer it takes to transfer, so if there are no powerful Magical Girls in the vicinity, almost all the surrounding Magical Girls will be notified. So they are forcibly crushing them by sheer force of numbers.

Such a thing has never occurred before because there are some of the most famous magical girls in Phase 2 near the town of Sakira. Blade was also acquainted with the Magical Girl and was grateful that she was hunting for a powerful Diest instead.

 

From now on, that role will probably be filled by Tyrant Sylph. Moreover, the notifications to Blade will be one rank lower, which means that they will be more frequent than ever before.

Blade had originally been distressed that she was being helped by magical girls from another district, but even so, the incidence of Vikant-class and above is not that high. So she was told it wouldn't be that big a burden, and although she knew they were looking out for her, she was allowed to indulge them.

 

「Elephant is right, we must be strong. At least enough to ensure that the three of us can take down the Vikant class.」

 

There is a huge gap between a Baron and a Vikant in both incidence and strength. It is a kind of wall.

So far, Blade had thought that she could slowly build up her strength. But that is no longer the case.

 

「We can't keep getting licked by a junior in the same district.」

「Tsuru-chan…」

 

Looking at Blade, who speaks quietly but with a glazed look in her eyes, Elephant chuckles as usual.

As Jack said, Blade is the brains of the team and usually calm and collected, but she is also the one who gets the most heated.

While she naturally felt that she could not burden her junior all the time, Elephant knew very well that her statement about not wanting to be licked was not an attempt to hide her embarrassment.

 

「I'm glad you guys are inspired–ran. You don't have to say Vikant-class, you can go to be a Witch–ran.」

「Eh—! Perhaps Sylphy-chan is already a witch!?」

「Eh!? Don't tell me…」

「We will see–ran. Checking our website–ran…」

 

Both Phase 2 and Phase 3 were too strong for Blade to accurately sense the difference, and they could not tell from the Tyrant Sylph's blow until she was a quintessential witch.

However, they subconsciously assumed that she could not possibly be a Witch and thought that she was a Phase 2 Magical Girl.

 

「Well, I'm leaving now–ran.」

 

With the confused Blade in her wake, Jack activated the magic of transference and disappeared.

 

「Tyrant Sylph, huh…」

 

Suddenly, someone muttered a biting remark, and the words disappeared into the air without being heard by either of them.
