Chapter 43 – #14.5 the Magical Girl Liberation Front, and Being Manipulated ? (2)
Thanks to the magic of her searcher, Arte, it didn’t take long to find her destination, the “Energy Plant.”
However, the fact that she was hidden deep underground and that a special key card was needed to enter the room hindered the search.
She eventually used Red Flame’s [Explosion Magic] And Tell Aqua’s [Silenceless Art] To somehow destroy her door and enter inside without causing a disturbance.
She didn’t want to leave any traces, but she was going to destroy the energy plant anyway, so it might not matter.
『――――――――!!』
Kugung… !
Destroy the door and go inside.
Beyond the door, a huge space was spread out that was comparable to or even bigger than the ‘Corpus Culture Facility’ just moments ago.
Inside the space, there is a huge pillar that seems to reach the distant ceiling… Or, there were several mechanical devices lined up that looked like batteries or generators.
Whoosh, whoop, whoop――
Pushuuu… Pushuuuuu…
There were several hoses connected to the top and bottom of the pillar through which sparkling energy came and went, and in addition, a small mechanical device connected nearby was operating, making exhaust noise and other noises.
Despite being a larger building than imagined, the noise was surprisingly low.
Indeed, it can be said to be the technological prowess of [Mechraq].
“… I think this is correct. I can feel the magic inside… Really, a lot…”
【Mekrak】Energy used by people.
Their main energy, which is used for all kinds of purposes, including power generation, is called ‘magic attribute’.
It can be extracted from living things, including humans, and it is also possible to extract it from stars.
The magical power of magical girls is also replenished from the stars, and the existence of magical girls is like a good terminal for efficiently extracting the energy of the stars.
Anyway, something like that.
Whether you exploit it from a magical girl, or extract energy by messing around with the dragon veins and ley veins of the stars…
The magic power extracted in that way was processed into a form of energy that they could use, and that was the identity of the light that was rarely seen among those mechanical devices.
The [Mekrak] People knew how to manipulate this incredibly useful energy from an early age, and thanks to this, their technological capabilities were able to enjoy tremendous progress up to the present.
However, due to the rapid development of technology and indiscriminate use of energy, they ended up extracting excessive energy from the stars… In the end, the star lost its life and caused ‘death’.
A star whose energy is depleted can no longer give birth to new life and becomes like a desolate desert.
Living things could no longer survive in a place where toxic air hovered here and there, so they invaded other stars and took up residence.
And now, they are making this planet as they please… They were invading Earth and extracting the energy of this star.
If their atrocities continue, perhaps this Earth will also go through the same process as their planet, which has already died.
Thinking like that, I felt so angry that my teeth were shaking.
‘The energy here… Magical power also belongs to our Earth.’
‘Exploited from our planet and from magical girls with abundant magical power… It must be that kind of magical power.’
‘Bad guys… It’s like coming to someone else’s planet, sticking a straw in it, and sucking all the energy out of it… He’s so obedient that I want to beat him to death.’
I wanted to complain about many things, but now was not the time to think about such things.
The explosion of the door a little while ago was the noise, and although the damage was minimized, someone may get wind of it and come visit due to the vibrations that occurred at that time.
No matter how many monster researchers come, you will be able to defeat them without any problems, but in order to avoid the inconvenience that could happen at least once… It would be better to finish the work quickly and run away.
“You two, please be cautious of your surroundings. 5 minutes… No, we will plant all the bombs in 3 minutes and come–“
Red Flame’s words, which were giving instructions to his colleagues, were cut off as if they had been cut.
Those eyes caught something in that dark space where there was only the faint light of the energy plant.
“… ?”
There was someone.
There is someone there.
In the darkness, someone is standing.
I just discovered it.
I just noticed the smell and captured its existence.
And――
* * *
Hwaaaaa!!
‘Ugh… ?!’
A moment.
In just one moment.
The red flame is an animal-like feeling that gives goosebumps on the skin… And I felt an instinctive sensation.
『Fear』A.
Including her Red Flame, the two people who accompany her and her actions… Three skilled magical girls were nailed in place and made to harden.
There was definitely ‘something’ there.
And in that ‘something’, you can recognize them because they are veteran magical girls who have gone through many battlefields in their own way… AbsurdScent of violenceIt was being strongly conveyed.
That strange presence made her wonder why she had not noticed it until now.
“… Puha… !! Cough, Cough… !”
“Whoa… Whoa… !!”
It was only for a moment that I was frozen by an unknown fear.
The two people behind Flame took a deep breath and shook off their fear, and Red Flame, like a leader, remained alert to his opponent without breaking his posture.
Again, the sound of footsteps echoed and the person in the dark came closer.
It even comes to a position where more light shines than before.
The image has barely advanced to a point where it can be clearly seen with the naked eye.
The magical girl’s eyes, which penetrate the darkness and have vision that is several times better than that of an ordinary human, confirm the appearance of a person appearing in the darkness.
――The opponent was a magical girl.
Enviably long brown hair.
She wears a costume that is more exposed than ordinary magical girls and clearly shows the lines of her body.
Red leotard costume, gloves and boots… And yet, the skirt is just about the right size…
“…”
When she saw that magical girl, Two things.
There were two things about her that bothered me.
One is a mask that covers the face of a magical girl… A mechanical device with the same feel.
What appears to be her helmet, or headgear, is placed on the magical girl’s head, and her eyes are covered by a visor.
However, she seemed to vaguely see those red eyes shining faintly from under her visor.
Another thing that bothers me is that she is so beautiful.
From head to toe, I find her strangely beautiful and attractive.
The body seen beyond the costume, wrapped in a costume with its body lines clearly exposed, seems to form a miraculous golden ratio, which is surprising and touching.
Even though part of her face was obscured.
Despite being unable to see properly due to the darkness,
However, it seems as if the thing called ‘beauty’ is overflowing…
She feels that way.
No, more than beauty.
It feels like it’s instinctively pulling your soul… I felt such a strange charm.
I felt like I would fall in love with her even though she was the same woman.
Even though they are the same woman, he wants to grab her and rape her… That’s what I thought.
‘W-what are you thinking…? I am… !’
And, Flame was surprised and denied his thoughts.
I had a strange thought, maybe it was because I was too nervous.
… No, is it that person who is strange?
It’s not strange that you think like this, but the other person creates a strange magnetic field… Something like this flows out and pulls this direction.
As proof, the other two people who had been frozen in fear or breathing heavily just a moment ago were also staring at the magical girl in the darkness as if they had lost their minds…
“Hey… ! Are you a magical girl?! What’s your name?! What are you doing here?!”
In order to shake off various useless things, Flame deliberately raised a voice from his stomach and shouted.
A loud voice filled with magical power echoed inside the energy plant.
However, there is no answer from the other party.
Flame shouts again to such an opponent.
“I’ll warn you first! If you can still resist hypnosis, please just stay there! “We have no intention of hurting you!”
“Our purpose is ‘the destruction of the energy plant.’ So, if you just stay still, you won’t get hurt!”
“But, if you try to interfere!”
“I won’t look at you then! Think carefully!”
Flame shouts out a warning.
And in Flame’s words.
Flame mentioned 『Destruction of Energy Plant』In the word.
The appearance of the magical girl, who until now had seemed like a doll without motivation or will, has changed.
When she raised her head and looked at the plant that had said those words, she could see that her shoulders and legs were beginning to feel tense.
In her hand, a magic wand-like weapon that had not been there before appeared with light.
She could sense clear hostility and a clear intent for war from the other person.
At that sight, Flame sighed as if saying hello.
“… As expected, I don’t think it will be resolved peacefully. “I don’t want magical girls fighting with each other.”
“Flame sister, what should we do? … Arte and I will stop that magical girl, and in the meantime, Flame will plant a bomb… “Isn’t it okay to do it?”
Behind Flame, Aqua suggested.
But Flame shook her head.
The ‘strange fear’ that struck me a little while ago with the appearance of that magical girl… Something like that is still lingering in my head.
“… No, now the three attack together… Let’s subdue it. The Horse Road Energy Plant is the most important facility even for monsters, but leaving the security of such a place to themselves is… “I’ll tell you it’s pretty strong.”
Above all, every single bit of power on the part of the magical girl is very important.
If you get hurt in a battle between magical girls, the damage is too precious.
There is no need to take risks.
While there is only one opponent, there are three here.
Moreover, all three are magical girls who are excellent not only in infiltration missions but also in terms of combat power.
In preparation for an emergency, only carefully selected people came here.
No matter how strong the opponent is… Maybe she’s a top-rank magical girl.
As long as there is only one opponent, it will not be difficult to subdue it if the three present here attacks together.
“Guys. “We are from the same Earth and are fellow magical girls, so please be careful not to hurt her if possible.”
“”Yes, Flame Sister.””
“… And, don’t get hurt either.”
Buuuuung-
At the same time as he said that, a red firefly-like light appeared around Flame’s body.
The firefly-like light spread out as if surrounding the magical girls, lighting up the space.
Not only the three people, but also a magical girl wearing a headgear was revealed in that light.
The vision has become clear.
Now――
“Let’s go!!”
With the shout of the Red Flame.
The three magical girls dispersed at once, as if they had planned it in advance, and jumped in to subdue just one magical girl.
Immediately, a gorgeous magical light unfolds within the energy plant space.
A fierce battle in the middle of the night between beautiful magical girls has begun.
