In a corner of a family restaurant, three girls who looked like they had come to hang out as friends after school were discussing something.

The girls’ voices are not exactly low, but it is impossible for those around them to hear what they are saying. They can’t even bring themselves to listen in the first place.

If there is anything of interest, it is that two of the girls are wearing different uniforms and one is in plain clothes. And, with friends from different schools, it ends up being self-contained.

 

「Now then, I guess everyone hasn’t beaten the Diest for a while now.」

 

A serious-looking girl with long black hair that reached down to her waist and glasses. Tsurugi muttered to confirm with a dubious expression.

 

The topic of discussion was when each of the girls had last fought a Diest, and, they were magical girls.

 

「It’s been about another week since I last beat it. Has there ever been such a long pause before?」

 

A kind girl with wavy, permed, light blue hair. Kisayama checked her memory as she stared into the void, but she had no idea what she was looking for.

 

The girls usually team up to fight the Diest, but in some cases they fight alone. Kisayama had assumed that the fact that no Diests had appeared in the past week or so meant that someone else had single-handedly defeated them, but she was wrong.

 

「Business is booming, and it’s getting us down, isn’t it? Ahaha.☆」

 

A cheerful girl with blonde hair that curls at the ends, dressed out of uniform. Atsuo cocked her head in annoyance.

 

By defeating a Diest, Magical Girls are given a certain number of points by the magical world. The points can be used to purchase supplies directly or converted to cash.

Many Magical Girls are not in it to protect the world, but for the points they get from hunting Diests. For those types of Magical Girls, the lack of Diests appearances can be a matter of life and death.

 

「It’s not like you have problems with your impure motives.」

「And it’s not impure. Money is very important.」

「I’m telling you that’s not what I’m talking about right now!」

「What is it then— You don’t have to yell at me!」

「Now, now, calm down, both of you.」

 

Kisayama was fond of Tsurugi and Atsuo, whose airs began to deteriorate as they continued their conversation. It was always the case that the two did not get along with each other. If one side is serious and meticulous and the other side is uninhibited and rough, it is obvious that there will be friction. Interceding before two people start fighting is something Kisayama is accustomed to doing.

They are not here to fight. They have enough sense to calm down when Kisayama stops them.

 

「Tsuru-chan wanted to talk about the new girl, right?」

「That’s right. It was roughly a week ago that Jack, who had been supporting us, stopped showing up because he had to support a new Magical Girl. Maybe it’s not that the Diest hasn’t shown up in the past week, but that a new magical girl is taking them down.」

「But you know— It’s hard for a newcomer to fight solo for a week, isn’t it? How is it possible that only Commons happened to show up?」

 

Atsuo had a point. A newly minted Magical Girl can only defeat the Common Class solo. Even if she were a talented and excellent magical girl, her limit would be the Knight class in a week.

Tsurugi thought the same way about Atsuo’s question. But it is also true that it is more realistic than thinking that not a single Diest happened to appear.

 

「The two of them are fighting each other like they did with me and Tsuru-chan, I think?」

 

Kisayama and Tsurugi became magical girls at about the same time. Although they did not start out as a friendly team, they naturally became a team as they repeatedly helped and were helped by each other. Although Atsuo became a Magical Girl somewhat later than the two of them, she still spent very little time fighting solo.

 

「Kisa, make sure you check out the official website. There is only one new Magical Girl in this town.」

 

It seemed to have been prepared in advance, and when Tsurugi handed the magiphone to Kisayama, the Magical Girl introduction page was opened.

Magical girls are introduced individually on the page, which can be searched by name, region, and other categories, and there are currently four Magical Girls from Sakira Town in the search results. Assuming that three of them are here, the remaining one would be the newly added Magical Girl.

 

「Tyrant Sylph-chan, huh…」

 

Only the name, area of responsibility, and a brief introduction are published on the introduction page, with no other information.

Some girls may disclose their own pictures, magic, and hobbies, while others may disclose only the bare minimum of information, as is the case here.

 

「Let me peek too—」

「I don’t know any details about this girl because she has no publicly available videos and she doesn’t have a social networking site. But I’m pretty sure she’s the only newcomer in town.」

 

When Atsuo, quickly bored by the lack of information, returned the magiphone, Tsurugi searched for the name Tyrant Sylph, but no decent information was found. At best, the name is mentioned here and there in threads discussing new Magical Girls on anonymous forums. Even in that post, they are just speculating about an unidentified Magical Girl.

 

「So, let’s say this girl is doing her best on her own— why are we even talking about that here? I’m just asking you to hand over the prize, but what do you want to do, Tsurugi?」

「It’s not that we’re actively trying to do something about it. I’m just saying that I’m sure we’ll see this girl in the Deception World in the future, and we’ll take care of her when we do. Even if things are going well now, it’s going to be hard to keep fighting the fight alone.」

「Ahaha, that’s very Tsuru-chan.」

 

For what it’s worth, Kisayama can’t help but laugh at her kind friend. Remembering that it is only because she was helped by such kindness that she was on this team.

 

「What a boring thing. I thought you’d be furious at her for tearing up your territory.」

「I told you, unlike you, I am not fighting for such impure motives.」

「Heh–heh, I’m sorry for having intentions like that. Well, if we’re done talking, I’m leaving.」

「See ya!」

「Okay, before long.」

 

The two watch Atsuo leave the restaurant with a fluttering hand down.

 

Tsurugi predicts that the days when the newcomer can continue to fight solo will not last long. So she figured that they should receive notification of the Diest occurrence in the not too distant future.

However, no one expected it to happen right now.

 

Different from the smartphone used in everyday life, the Magiphone is a communication device specially distributed to magical girls. It looks almost identical to a smartphone, and its functions are almost like those of a smartphone, such as support for touch operation, but of course it is not just a smartphone.

There are many things that can be done with this device that cannot be done with a smartphone, but two of these functions are deeply relevant to this issue.

 

The first is a function that notifies the user that a Diest has occurred. The first is a warning sound, audible only to magical girls, to inform them of the occurrence of a dist.

 

「!! A Diest!?」

「It’s a little bit clunky.」

 

The class of the Diest displayed on the magiphone is Baron. It is a level of distinction that trio of Kisayama can win if they work together.

Notification of the occurrence of a Diest is, to some extent, selective as to which Magical Girls it is sent to, so that a Magical Girl does not lose her life by challenging a Diest that is overwhelmingly stronger than she is. However, it is difficult to always keep track of the abilities of Magical Girls who are growing day by day, and there is a certain amount of swing in the Diest’s rank that is actually assigned to a magical girl in relation to her abilities.

Diests are ranked in order of weakness into eight levels: Common, Knight, Baron, Vikant, Earl, Marquis, Duke, and King. For example, in the case of Kisayama and her team, they are notified of Diest occurrences ranging from Common, which is the weakest and can be won by one person without any problem, to Knight, which is dangerous but not impossible to fight alone, to Baron, who can win depending on the number of people if several people hit them.

 

「Atsuo-san should be there. 」

「Let’s go, Tsuru-chan. Transfer.」

「「Transfer coordinates: Deception World, Sakira Town, Section-B.」」

 

Another function of the magiphone is to transfer to the Deception World.

Multiple magic circles overlap on their bodies and begin to glow.

So far, despite the loud notifications and blinding lights, the other customers does not seem bothered.

 

As for matters related to Magical Girls, all of them are enchanted with a magic that inhibits their recognition. No one can recognize a magical girl’s transformation, and no one wants to learn more about Magical Girls. There may be a small question at the drop of a hat, but it quickly fizzles out. It can be favorable or interested, but it cannot be malicious or suspicious.

It is due to this cognitive inhibition that Magical Girls, despite the fact that they are well known and familiar to society, are not subject to the malicious intent of the general public.

 

☆　　☆　　☆

 

「Kick them to the curb!」

 

With the key word for transformation, a translucent elephant appears behind Kisayama, and at the same time as they slowly overlap, their uniforms change to sky-blue fluttering costumes. Her light blue hair, which had been a light shade, changed to a vivid blue, and her loafers changed to stumpy metal boots.

 

「Magical Girl, Elephant!」

 

☆　　☆　　☆

 

「Ripping through.」

 

A large double-edged sword appears before Tsurugi’s eyes. As soon as he grabs the hilt, the sword emits light, and the light covers a part of Tsurugi’s body.

After the plain clothes changed into a lovely outfit of pure white, the light changed form and became a white and silver armor. It is not full body armor, but it covers the vital areas as if to protect particularly important parts of the body.

 

「Magical Girl, Blade.」

 

☆　　☆　　☆

 

The two, who completed the transition at the same time they transformed, discovered Atsuo that had already transformed and preceded them into the deception world.

 

「Press The Hand!」(TN : Crushing Palm)

 

A gothic lolita-style magical girl with a pitch-black dress and gold cross decorations scattered throughout. That is the Magical Girl Press that Atsuo transforms into.

 

Press had already begun fighting the Diest.

 

When she held up her right hand and invoked her magic on the three-meter-long black-painted giant running toward the press, the giant changed to a slower gait, as if blown by a strong headwind.

 

「Arrow Sword!」(TN: Flying/Soaring Sword)

 

Three swords fly toward the slow-moving Giant-shaped Diest. Naturally, the giant tries to avoid the sword, but the pressure around its body does not allow it.

The sword, which had pierced the head, neck, and heart, quickly disappeared, and a black mist began to leak from the scars.

 

「Elephant Power!」(TN : Strong as an Elephant)

 

Diests are not living organisms. Therefore, attacking a part of the body that could be a weak point for a normal organism does not result in immediate death. However, perhaps because they mimic the appearance of living creatures, they flinch and scream when attacked.

It is not known whether the Diest has an organ that feels pain, but the Magical Girls know that it is not unresponsive to attack.

 

Elephant, whose physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary people due to the magic of body enhancement, kicks the Diest, which stops moving for a moment after being attacked, as hard as it can. Elephant is naturally under pressure as she breaks between Press and the Diest, but even that is turned into a kicking momentum.

 

The three Magical Girls joined up, wary of the Diest that was blown away and away from them, destroying the walls of a private house.

 

「Sorry, we’re late.」

「It’s not much different. The newcomer didn’t show up?」

「This Diest is Baron class. I guess she wasn’t notified.」

「Hmph, that’s a bummer.」

「End of chat. It’s coming.」

 

The giant, who had crushed the debris with its own body, runs toward the Magical Girls again, looking very angry.

 

「That’s just one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen.☆ Press The Hand!」

 

Press held up her right hand and invoked the magic of pressure, just as she had done before. However, the giant had already seen and learned that magic once. Just before the magic is activated, the giant leaps as far as it can and escapes the range of the pressure, falling directly toward the Magical Girls.

 

「W–Wha—!!」

 

No one expected them to jump several meters with that blunt-looking body.

Press hastily turned her palm and tried to chase the giant, but Blade controlled it with her hand, and the two were evacuated.

Normally, this magic is not used very often due to its slow activation and easy evasion, but in this situation, Blade had a very effective magic.

 

「Sword Geyser.」

 

A magic circle appeared at the giant’s landing spot, from which swords flew out one after another. The airborne Diest has no way to avoid it and is cut up all over.

When the huge body landed with a roar, the magic circle was destroyed and the sword stopped, but at the same time, the legs of the giant, which could not bear the load, also collapsed.

 

「It’s over!!」

 

Elephant blows off the head of the giant, which is falling down in pain, with a leaping kick, and the battle is decided. With that damage as the last, the Diest no longer regenerated and disappeared completely.
