Chapter 791 – #3-8.5 Interlude: Somewhere in Magic Land, and the Missing Magical Girls of Earth
【Magic Land】.
Should I say country, or should I say another world line?
It is a special star that cannot be reached by simply traveling through space, and at the same time it is a special world.
This star is not round, as are the stars in space.
However, it is not a square or a model that someone might have imagined in the past.
It had a shape beyond the imagination of a creature.
It was a unique space made up of things that transcended the unavoidable laws of physics and seemed to deny common sense.
From the shape of the star to the detailed behavior of the residents living inside it.
All of that was impossible and strange, like making a triangle with two lines or a square with three points.
Don’t try to understand
There is no such thing as a rule in the first place.
If you start to understand that world, if you end up understanding it.
That person will probably never be able to return to the original space, the original world of common sense.
This is such a space–
It’s such a magical country, but the inhabitants of that planet lived peacefully in their own way anyway.
Their own peace.
Their own daily life.
Keeping these things in line with their own common sense, they live their lives diligently carrying out their duties today.
And, such a magical land.
On this planet, in this world where there are only beautiful scenery filled with flower fields and sweet things wherever you go.
There is a certain city that exudes a completely different atmosphere from other places.
It’s like a slum on Earth.
A special street full of blue iron color, darkness and shading, and an atmosphere like a sewer or mud everywhere.
A street lined with prisons and prisons to imprison and imprison criminals among fairies in the magical land.
Somewhere in the city, where there is no one passing by and it is as quiet as dead, something strange is happening.
* * *
Beep…
Beep beep beep beep…
And a shady iron-colored, dark backstreet almost out of reach.
Around the middle of the narrow alley, a strange crack began to appear in the empty space.
I couldn’t tell by simply looking at it, but there were cracks in the space like cracks in the glass.
Together.
The crack was getting bigger and bigger with time.
The cracks that began to grow exponentially,
Then, more and more cracks were created, and eventually…
Kaengkaang–!!
With such a loud noise,
It broke like it was about to explode.
“… Whoa. Seriously, how long did it take to make a hole this big?”
What started as a simple crack has now become a hole large enough for an entire person to pass through.
Someone’s voice was heard from beyond the passage, and soon after, the owner of the voice stepped over the hole and jumped over.
The first thing I saw was bare legs.
And what followed was a costume similar to the traditional cheongsam of a civilization on Earth.
And a conspicuous beauty wearing that dress completely crosses over from beyond that hole.
In her swarthy skin, she wore her blonde hair in two buns and wore oversized sunglasses in a dark alleyway.
An antique fan was in her hand, and a backpack slung over one shoulder.
I’m not sure if anyone remembers it.
Someday, in a certain city in [Mekrak],
She was a mysterious woman who met Kei, a magical girl, and helped her with her special act of divination.
Regardless of what she finally ended up with, she said,
The fact that Kei was able to meet Yaya, a spy belonging to the Resistance who was hiding in the city, as he had originally hoped,
It was only because of this woman’s divination.
At least, she sure has some mystical and special powers of her own.
In addition to that, she came over from [Mekrak] To this [Magic Land] On her own.
… The fact is, it’s definitely notable and it’s a great thing.
Because until now, with some exceptions, people who were not residents of [Magic Land] Had never come here.
Even if any intruders try to target this place, no one can set foot here without the permission of the fairies in the magical land.
Even if you set foot in it, it won’t be long before you get caught up in a special law and your existence itself will slowly change.
Although I can’t accurately describe it.
In any case, it could be said with certainty that it would turn out to be terrible.
But this woman.
Even though this woman reached such a place on her own,
She looked back down the alley where she had arrived, with a relaxed look on her face that did not in the least mean that she would see such a terrible sight.
“It’s empty~ Hagman. For now, I followed the signs of ‘that guy’, but… I don’t know where this place is.”
Even while talking to herself in a dialect, this woman seems quite pleasant.
Even though it’s a place where sunlight doesn’t come in, she goes back to the back of the alley, putting it on again, as if she had no intention of taking off her sunglasses.
What she likes is her travels,
No matter how you look at it, this doesn’t seem like a place to enjoy a trip.
In a city where no signs of living things could be felt for a few miles in every direction,
The woman decided to roam the city cautiously in case of her danger to her unknown.
“What the… Why are you being dragged to a place like this, that ag?”
“Actually, even though I thought I was going to get into something rough from the start.”
“Oh, well, that ag has to see a little sick to be bitter. Glitch, glitch~.”
She is just a woman who walks cautiously down a quiet street, still talking to herself and nodding her head.
What is truly peculiar.
The face beneath the loosely worn sunglasses,
Although she is a bit dark, she is very similar to the woman called the Queen of Mekrak.
It’s not just a resemblance, it’s the same.
As if they were twins.
Or as if the same object was duplicated and photographed.
She goes down the street
She goes down the street
She walks down the street alone.
The streets of [Magical Land],
This city of sinners, where sinners who have committed great sins are confined with daily severe torture,
[Mekrak] A woman who resembles a queen just goes on carefree.
She was looking for someone
I’m looking for someone somewhere in this city to be euphoric.
“Hey, Ignom~ Cookie Guy, Where the hell is Genji?
Like an old man, talking to himself in a strange accent that I don’t know if it’s dialect or not.
With a more carefree and looser attitude than the Queen herself,
As the alter ego of the queen, she contemplates the quiet streets…
* * *
And, Earth.
Currently on Earth, guerrilla terrorism by [Mekrak] Fighters and vicious chimeras developed by the doctor were frequently occurring all over the world.
In the past, they have caused considerable nuisance and caused damage here and there, but
In the past, if it was close to aimless terrorism that simply showed off individual power,
Now, it has changed to a more organized terrorist activity in which monsters of completely different natures join forces to cause an incident.
Earthlings who originally did not know much about them are now quite conscious of them.
Furthermore, they felt a clear sense of crisis different from before to those who possessed technology that was several steps superior to the level of Earth’s technology.
However, despite this, hope is not lost because there is a magical girl who protects the earth.
In their acts of terror, which made even the military and public powers of little use,
Thankfully, thanks to the active efforts of each magical girl with strong powers, no terrible damage has occurred yet.
The awareness of magical girls is growing day by day,
A special building and dispatch headquarters were created just for them.
Ordinary people without power
They were preparing to counterattack the aliens invading their planet by adding various support to such magical girls.
――Earth’s future is not bleak.
――There is still hope left on this planet.
Everyone has such hopes,
With the thought of protecting their star, they united and gathered their hearts.
However, they don’t know.
Mekrak’s terrorist activities have not yet caused serious damage,
In fact, it was because they quickly retreated and ran away after inflicting only a certain amount of damage.
If there is a case of confrontation with magical girls,
That it was because they put survival first and abandoned everything, whether it be missions or terrorism, and immediately tried to escape.
Only chimeras can be duplicated in any number of ways to put up a proper fight,
Other than that, there was no one who fought a proper battle with a magical girl, except for a few warlike monsters.
And.
And.
And.
In addition to that, it seemed that he would not lose to anyone,
Some of the promising magical girls who were loved and popular by many people,
Occasionally disappearing for unknown reasons.
Even if few people know
Promising and talented magical girls somewhere…
There are things that sometimes disappear without a sound.
A lot of people didn’t realize it.
What does it mean
What the [Mekrak] Monsters are actually aiming for.
Their purpose and what they are trying to do.
Most Earthlings know nothing.
Those magical girls who know the details…
Since he has already been captured and brainwashed by monsters, he cannot tell anyone about it.
Although no one is preparing to face the true catastrophe that will come to Earth from now on.
Foolish earthlings cry out for hope today, and have no doubts that their daily lives will continue…
