'Haha, even those mysterious girl and cyborg brother are speechless. Still…'
Rai looked at Ami curiously.
"Hahahaha! Freedom!"
'Is that really Ami? The girl who only talks when necessary?'
The black-haired girl in a fur coat similar to him was swinging her hands, moving the chain dagger as if it was alive. Her target was the dark-skinned girl.
After eating the red bead from earlier, somehow, the girl could move fast and even carried her cyborg brother on her back.
She dodged the chain dagger that moved like a snake with minimum movement. Cuts appeared on her skin as red blood was drawn, but she didn't care at all. She focused on dodging all attacks coming from her.
Rai had no chance to join.
'Right now, Ami might not even recognize me as her friend. If I carelessly join, she will also attack me. Well, let her let loose for now.'
He might as well rest and wait for the Guardians to arrive. That way, he would be able to play with a Magical Girl for a long time if there was any.
Walking toward a bench nearby, he sat down and crossed his legs, watching Ami attack the girl and create a furious gale with her chain dagger.
'Come faster, Guardians.'
As for Ami, she grinned widely as she slowly took a step forward. She felt powerful! Nothing could stop her now!
A surge of power rose from her chest, and a cold and dark Magicule moved inside her body like a strong wave!
In her current condition, getting what she desired should be easy. She sought freedom, away from rules. With the chain in her hand, she would bind, and with the dagger, she would cut anything that bound her.
"Hahaha!"
This was what she wanted! The freedom to do anything.
"Die for me! Die for my freedom!"
The girl gritted her teeth and jumped away from the fury of attacks. She didn't think that she would face a person from an evil organization.
'The information provided by that old hag is not wrong, but she didn't tell me about this!' She complained in her mind.
Aruelle didn't think obtaining what she wanted would be this troublesome. Her brother's legs were also severed, causing him to be unable to help her.
"Leave me." A deep voice whispered in her ears from behind, "Just take my head. We have achieved our goals, Aruelle."
"Tsk, are there no other options– Oops!"
Just as she replied to her brother, the sharp tip of the chain grazed Aruelle's upper arm, ripping her jacket and drawing her blood.
"Argh! That hurts." She complained, but Ami didn't let it stop.
With another move of her hand, the chain changed direction and went toward the dodging Aruelle, aiming at her body. The chain moved like a snake that aimed at its prey. But instead of a wide mouth, it had a deadly sharp dagger as its head!
"Shi–" Aruelle gasped and was forced to jump backward. Behind her was a tall wall; she would collide if she didn't do anything. "Brother!"
Without answering, the tall cyborg extended his left hand, and it quickly shot from his body like a rocket. Using the force that sent the arm flying, it flew both of them passed the wall safely, and the dagger pierced through air.
Clang!
Aruelle knew that continuing would be bad. Even if she got stronger from eating that red bead told by that old hag, she also felt a warm feeling spread inside her body after eating it, a sign that she awakened her Magicule Core. Her goal was achieved here, so she began to run.
'There is no point fighting the evil organization!' She thought as she went deeper toward the mall, hoping to reach the other entrance.
"Hahaha! Come back here!"
Ami jumped past the wall and made a chase after them out of excitement. She pulled the dagger stuck on the wall as she passed by, making a clanging sound.
Many sounds, such as explosions and metallic screeching, followed suit from the deeper part of the mall.
Rai held no interest in that girl and let out a sigh.
'What kind of desire Ami has to make her rampage that wild? Is it related to her own freedom?' He asked himself. 'Asking about her desire would be impolite as I also don't tell her about mine. She will probably tell me when she fully trusts me in the future.'
While he was curious about what that red bead was, Ossa certainly knew about it, as the spirit instructed him to recheck the mall. He would just let Ami rampage, satisfying her first transformation's desire.
What he was interested in was Magical Girl and something fun. Chasing after someone could be left to his partner. That chain surely was something that could be used to capture people.
"Now then…"
In the 10 chapters of the novel that Rai read back on the original Earth, there was one thing that he took an important note of.
First of all, nothing was a coincidence in this world. Everything was strictly monitored and coordinated. For example, the footage this afternoon that got edited by Crazy Bomber. Then the red bead that had the lingering coffee smell of today's Glitches.
There was an explanation behind everything, no matter how bizarre it was. Cameras and spies were everywhere, and the alien technologies often caused some trouble, one after the other.
Secondly, Guardians commanded by Ahri always arrive late at important moments. This time, Rai considered the remnant of Glitches with its Invader leveled up as important.
'There is a high chance Ahri is the one who got called even though she's a bit far in District 5.'
Walking casually, Rai picked up the left arm shot by the cyborg earlier. It was embedded into the floor with smoke rising from it. He easily pulled it out from the ground and looked at the metal arm reflecting the light from the fire on the second floor.
"This will be good material for a magic weapon." He grinned as he threw it to the ground, near the scrap legs that had electricity running through the pierced area.
Rai then walked toward the middle of the scene, moving some rubbles around him. The Guardians should come shortly after this, and he planned to make a name for himself so those people would recognize him. That way, Guardian Shield would send more Magical Girls each time he appeared.
"Perfect." He nodded, satisfied. An evil organization member would steal others' evil achievements. "No matter how they saw me, I would look like someone who created this scene."
A few minutes later, just as Rai was about to get tired of waiting, a shadow entered the mall's entrance. She approached from the sky, and when she stepped inside, Rai's smile widened into a grin.
He recognized her face. The Magical Girl was wearing a white and blue frilly dress whose breasts almost spilled out from her clothes. She was gripping the golden wand tightly in her hand. Her beautiful eyes widened in realization as she shouted.
"Evildoer!"
"It's Devourer, Miss Magical Girl," Rai replied calmly. He put his hand on his chest and bowed gentlemanly, and greeted Ahri. "It's nice to meet you again. I see that you're alone this time." He raised his head and grinned.
Facing him, Ahri's heart beat faster. She didn't expect the man in front of him to cause the explosion! If she knew, she wouldn't come alone.
However…
'There is no other choice. The others are still resting, and I am the only one close to the mall. We didn't expect 2 incidents to happen in the same place!'
Ahri gulped and braced herself. She remembered what he could do, and so she was confident she could beat him.
"I will send you to Tartarus this time!"
"Please," Rai replied with sarcasm. "Let's not say anything about Tartarus and play like before. What do you think?"
Saying so, he took out the red ribbon from his pocket and lengthened it until it reached the ground.
"A bondage play is something you like, no?"
"Pervert," Ahri replied with a flat face.
"I will return that statement to you, who get excited and orgasmed because an evil man kissed you and caressed your body."
