“Um, are you done asking questions?”

The woman speaks to me as I burst out laughing.

“One last thing.”
“What is it?”
“Are you connected to the Cat God? No—do you have any connection to a god?”
“Um, a god? A god like the ones people worship?”

I nod.

“Did you come to me on a god’s orders?”

Even if this is another world, if gods are connected to each other, it could be orders from a god of this world.

“Gods are the ones you make wishes to when you’re in trouble, right?”

I nod again.

“I do pray to the gods sometimes, but I’ve never met a god, and I’ve never heard one’s voice. So I haven’t received any orders. Besides, even if you want to meet a god, you can’t, can you?”

From the woman’s tone and expression, it really does seem she’s never met a god.

“Was that answer all right? Well then, it’s my turn to ask questions. What’s your name?”

The woman asks my name again.
I know this is another world, but that doesn’t mean the woman in front of me is an ally.
But I need information.
So I decide to give my name honestly.

“Yuna.” Continue reading →

My body shakes.
Someone is shaking my body.
I want them to stop shaking me.
I try to drive off whatever is shaking my body.
Soft fur touches me.
Even with my eyes closed, I know, from being touched so many times.

“Kumayuru, Kumakyuu, don’t shake me.”
“Kuuun.”

My body shakes even harder.

“I’ll get up, so don’t shake me.”

I open my eyes and sit up.
As I thought, the ones shaking my body were Kumayuru and Kumakyuu.

“Kuuun.”

Kumayuru and Kumakyuu look at me, worried.

“What’s wrong?”

I remember.
I killed people, and at the end I was killed by the Cat God and the magical girls. Continue reading →

My head is working, even though I should be dead.
I open my eyes.
Pitch-black space.
I killed a lot of people, so maybe I’m going to hell.
And at the end I killed the Cat God too.
Then I can’t go to heaven with Kumayuru and Kumakyuu.
Dad was an ally of justice, so I think he’s in heaven, so I can’t see him.
Kind Mom is in heaven too.
I’m going to hell alone.
Hell, huh. I don’t like pain.
But I killed people, and at the end I even killed a god, so hell is a sure thing.
I don’t know what happened to the Cat God in that explosion. But the fact is I attacked a god.
I wait, thinking I’m going to hell, but it stays a dark space the whole time.
Don’t tell me I’m supposed to live in this darkness?
That would be agony too.
While I think that, it starts to shine in front of me.
In the darkness the light is so bright I can’t open my eyes.

I was able to kill everyone involved in killing Dad.
I kill the man, go outside the building, and am surrounded by magical girls.
I fight on the defensive.
There are a lot of them. Eight magical girls attack one after another.
But half my heart thinks it’s all right if I die.
I killed the people who killed Dad.
Dad is gone.
There’s nothing left I regret.
But Kumayuru and Kumakyuu fight the magical girls to protect me.
No matter how hurt they get, they try to protect me.
The magical girls attack all at once, but Kumayuru takes the attacks in my place.
Kumayuru is in tatters.
Even so, Kumayuru doesn’t fall. Continue reading →

The next day, I went to the place where Dad committed suicide.
I have no way to get information on the one who killed Dad.
So I came to the place where Dad died.
Even if you say it’s a place with little foot traffic, there are fields, and in the daytime people pass through.
And whoever killed Dad used Dad’s phone to send me a map of here.
In other words, they arranged for the corpse to be found.
But I recovered Dad, so no one has found him.
If the culprit finds out the corpse hasn’t been discovered, they should come back here to check on Dad.
That’s my wish, and with how I am now, it was the only thing I could do.

After that, Maehara contacted me, but he says Dad hasn’t been found.
I didn’t tell him Dad is lying on the bed at home.
Not until I find the one who killed Dad.
And I waited, morning and night.
When I wait three days at the place Dad died, three men in a car appear.

“No corpse, but the rope is left.” Continue reading →

11 Magical Girl, One Year On

A year has passed since I became a magical girl, and a new summer has come.
I had my birthday on March 30 and turned ten, but as of July some of my classmates are already eleven, which is unfair.
It’s still eight months before I turn eleven.
But from the summer I became a magical girl, in this one year, I’ve fought all kinds of magical beasts, youkai, ghosts, and things hostile to people.
I’ve met magical girls from other places, and fought together with them too.
There aren’t many magical girls.
The magical girls I’ve met are five or so, at most.
A lot, and not a lot.
I’ve even met a magical girl from overseas, just once.
As a perk of becoming a magical girl, being able to understand overseas languages helped.
I mean, I don’t understand foreign languages, and I can’t speak them either.
But the Cat God used a magic circle and made it so I can understand foreign languages.
Of course I can speak foreign languages too, and I can even read foreign writing, and write it.
This applies in ordinary times as well.
I feel like I’m cheating somehow, but I’m risking danger to fight, so I think it’s all right to have this much of a benefit.
The other day I even went to see a foreign movie with subtitles.
I can follow the movie without looking at the subtitles.
It felt a little like I’d become a grown-up. Continue reading →

10 Magical Girl Meets Bears

I come to the mountains to defeat a bear that has become a magical beast.
The season is winter.
Snow is piled on the mountains.
But I’m not cold.
The magical girl outfit doesn’t only defend; it protects you from heat and cold too.
My legs and arms and face are showing, but it’s strange that I’m not cold.
Incidentally, you can protect yourself from heat and cold by covering your body with mana as well.
Lately I’ve been wrapping myself in mana when I go to school.
I’m not cold, so it helps.

And when I arrive at the mountains, Dad calls, and I can pick up.
By then the phone charge has gone up to 50%.
I put the phone away in the Extra-dimensional Box.

“So, where’s the bear?”
“That way.”

I follow the Cat God flying through the sky.
Then there it is: the bear I was looking for, tainted by miasma and turned vicious.
If this bear came to where people are, there would definitely be damage.
I use magic and fight the vicious bear.
The bear’s eyes are red, its fangs bared, and it comes at me.
The bear slashes the magic I loose with its claws.

“Strong.” Continue reading →

9 Magical Girl Is Asked to Subjugate a Bear

About half a year has passed since I became a magical girl.
Since I saved Dad from the curse, he hasn’t been cursed, for now.
He’s working in good health.
And as for me, I’ve kept being a magical girl.
The biggest reason is that Dad might be cursed again later.

The first time I saw magical beasts, youkai, and ghosts, I was scared.
But I saw them attacking people.
People can’t do anything, get attacked by a magical beast, and get hurt. In the worst case, they die.
Even if you take one down with a hunting rifle, it just moves to another animal. Nothing is solved.
If a magical girl doesn’t defeat them, the damage spreads.

I’ve told the Cat God we should just make more magical girls, but there aren’t many girls with the aptitude to become one.
And as he said at the start, it isn’t only having mana. Personality matters too.
So there aren’t many girls who can become magical girls.
If I quit being a magical girl, I’d be making other magical girls do the things I don’t like.
And I don’t know when Dad might be cursed again.
If I didn’t have a magical girl’s power then, I couldn’t save him.
That’s why I keep being a magical girl. Continue reading →

After I killed the crow tainted by miasma, I ended up in a feeling I couldn’t put into words.
The Cat God told me, “Try thinking of it as defeating, not killing.”
The words are similar, but killing and defeating are different.
I switch my feelings.
I tell myself I can fight.
From now on I have to fight as a magical girl.
And more than anything, I have to save Dad.
I can tell my heart is gradually settling.

“Ordinary girls cry, or they hate it, but you’re different.”
“So, with this, can I save Dad?”
“I still think it’s early. But stopping you looks pointless.”

I know Dad is suffering.
I want to save him even a little sooner.

“Well then, tonight, let’s save your dad.”

I can finally save Dad. Continue reading →

7 Magical Girl’s First Battle

I spent about a week being taught how to handle magic, and in that time I studied magical beasts and youkai too.
A week of my summer break disappeared.

“Shall we try actual combat soon?”
“Then I can save Dad?”

That’s why I became a magical girl.
And lately Dad’s face looks terribly tired.
The Cat God said it’s because he’s cursed.
I wanted to help him right away, but he said he was still all right, and didn’t do anything.

“But before that, it would be better to fight a low-rank magical beast first.”
“A low-rank magical beast? I still can’t save Dad?”
“There’s an order to things. What will you do if your first fight against a curse is a loss? With other magical beasts, if you lose you can just run. But in your dad’s case, if you run, it might get worse. So failure isn’t allowed. That’s why it’s better after you’ve had actual combat. And more than anything, if you fail and you resent me, I’ll be in trouble.” Continue reading →
