Chapter 552 – #2-54.5 It’s a Catfight in a World Where Schemes and Schemes Run Rampant
――The war continues.
The war we are talking about here is not just the story of Earth.
There are countless stars that you can see when you look up at the sky, each of which has a story, and among the stars, there are places with environments no different from those of the earth, and intelligent bodies no different.
However, their culture, personality, appearance, and characteristics are all different, and there are people who wage war for their own reasons.
Originally, they fought among their compatriots on a single star, but as technology developed, it became possible to move between planets… Now they began to invade the stars where there are intelligent bodies.
Predators (invaders) who ravage other planets with the characteristics of their race and the skills they polished only for war.
They live peacefully relying on abundant resources and have no skills or abilities to put forward, so they are helpless victims of the disaster that has come.
――The invaders wanted it.
A stronger, more brutal ability.
――The scapegoats hoped.
Power to repel invaders.
And where there is wind.
Anywhere, at any time… The shadow of [Magic Land] Always shimmered.
A place called [Magic Land] Is a fantasy world of fairies who exist on the other side, where there is no substance.
Although no one has confirmed that the country exists.
It is also a place where opinions are divided, saying that someone definitely exists and someone definitely doesn’t.
No one has been able to prove that the country definitely exists.
That’s why the fairies of the magical country decided to prove their existence, that they exist, and their country.
To grant someone’s wishes.
Granting someone’s wish.
Through it, they made it clear to the people on this side that their country was there.

――The cause of the current war on Earth lies in 【Magic Land】.
[Magic Land] Has a history of contact with the [Mekrak] Side.
A fellow fairy from 【Magic Land】 informed them that there is no hope on this planet.
To save the star, they asked for a wish.
I offered to lend them my strength if they wanted to go to war.
If you wish for peace, he suggested that you turn everyone into a cerebral body and put them to sleep in an eternal dream.
And [Mekrak].
Mekrak… Rejected them.
Unidentified things. An uninvited outsider. Things that cannot be explained by the science and technology they boast about. But those that use similar energy.
Because I thought I couldn’t rely on them.
And above all, the leader of [Mekrak] At the time didn’t want a war, and he didn’t want to live trapped in a dream either.
Because he was a firm man who insisted that all wishes should be fulfilled with his own hands.
That’s true
It was a very difficult thing for the fairies.
Where there is war, there are countless winds.
Where there is plenty there is no wind.
For the fairies who tried to prove themselves by making wishes come true, for those who have now forgotten their original purpose and just degenerated into a kind of device to grant wishes.
Simply enriching one star was no different from strangling oneself.
So they were worried.
They thought about it.
――After all, let’s start a war.
――The residents of 【Mekrak】 already have sufficient skills and abilities.
――For their invasion, they wouldn’t want to borrow the power of the [Magic Land] That is still unknown.
――However, if the inhabitants are being invaded by [Mekrak], They will surely need strength.
――Then let’s lend them our strength.
…
…
…
That’s how [Magic Land] Is.
[Magical Land] Found just the right prey for their wishes.
A star that is moderately affluent, people have appropriate desires, and does not reject 【Magic Land】, which is in a higher dimensional position than them.
In order to fulfill their wish, I spread the story about this star in [Mekrak].
Some of the residents of [Mekrak], Who were counting the days to die on a planet that was becoming devastated day by day, rebelled against the upper people who refused to fight and came over to this planet on their own by boat.
Some high-ranking people are also beginning to take an interest in this planet, which is rich in energy, unlike their star, which is running out of resources.
And so the war began.
* * *
Earth, as they expected, was a collection of extremely weak inhabitants.
It’s not that racial characteristics are strong, and technical abilities have fallen several generations. The most important thing was that they didn’t know how to use the special energy called 『Magic Power』 At all.
In such a rich land, the 『Magic』 They have, they really don’t know how to use it.
Even the low-level scavengers must have looked like terrifying alien invaders to the inhabitants of this planet.
They thoroughly trampled this planet.
Trampled, humiliated, vomited out desires, and conquered the land.
They were on a winning streak, but their victory did not last long.
――A magical girl appeared in front of them.
* * *
Everything is a plot of [Magic Land].
As they hoped, alien invaders that they could not help and could not handle had invaded the peaceful earth.
To those who had no dreams or hopes, [Magic Land] Waved the bait of hope in front of their eyes.
They made a wish
The fairies granted the wish.
That’s how magical girls were created.
Thus, a magical girl was born.
A magical girl who transformed with the magic of fairies, even the weakest individual, was able to draw out the magic power of 100 ordinary women.
They were the only obstructive nemesis for the [Mekrak] People, and at the same time, they were also the best prey.
There is no technology to extract energy directly from the ground yet, so we had to use the inhabitants of that planet as terminals to extract mana.
With the advent of magical girls, the war has stopped for a very short time.
But at the same time, it also served as a trigger for the war to intensify.
After hearing the rumors of the girls who can extract high-quality and excellent magical powers along with their beautiful appearance and charisma, the other 【Mekrak】 residents who were not interested until then also started to be interested.
So the war continued even more.
So the war accelerated even more.
More and more magical girls appeared on Earth.
The more they did, the more invaders came.
A constant vicious circle.
The one who planned all of that was [Magic Land].
In such a hopeless situation.
…Very few fairies were moving in a slightly different way, escaping from the will of such a sloppy 【Magic Land】.
* * *
‘…Now I feel like I’m in a lull…’
‘Right now, there’s a perfect research lab… I feel like I don’t care about anything else until I get tired of it.’
Cookie, a fairy of [Magic Land] Who turned Kay and Alpha into magical girls, and looks like a cat doll, was looking around the earth through a door he had created in the air.
Although not all places can be seen, the location marked by Cookie or the place designated can be viewed at a distance or moved comfortably at any time like this.
In addition to that, I used various tools to make my eyes go crazy here and there.
All for the sole purpose of controlling the war on this Earth with its tiny hands as a balancer.
――Cookie is one of the fairies who do not agree with the wishes of 【Magic Land】.
Cookie also has no objection to life itself that grants wishes and makes wishes come true, but it was clear that the action was to give goodbye to both stars somehow.
Mekrak and this earth are also victims.
If this war continues, [Mekrak] Will become even more devastated and hopeless, and destruction will accelerate.
If this war continues, the Earth will become more chaotic and devastated by alien invaders, and even if all wars end someday, it will not be able to return to its original life… It ends with leaving everything to the fairies and praying. Will be.
So, Cookie decided to manipulate everything with that little hand behind him.
By inducing magical girls and throwing them as bait to the monsters, the unnecessary damage that was originally planned for the inhabitants of Earth was reduced.
Also, the Mekrak people were able to receive some energy replenishment. Some of the mana they stole was also sent to the mother planet, delaying the destruction of the planet a little longer.
Running around like this
Running around like that
Avoid leaning too far to either side.
So that neither side is too disadvantageous.
So that neither side perishes. In order to buy time until one day an optimal solution comes out, the whole body and messenger were poured out.
–And
――And…The end I had been putting off for so long, now I feel with my skin that it is slowly approaching.
‘The monsters that the doctor released to catch the magical girls are definitely dangerous.’
‘If you release a guy like that all over the place and catch weak magical girls like that, it’ll be a big deal. He would have destroyed the village where people live, and even caused a life-threatening accident.’
‘So I guess that’s good. I’m sorry for Blue Sapphire and Merdul…’
There were also some other magical girls who sold out, but it couldn’t be helped.
Everything for a cause.
For the big picture that Cookie wants, to avoid the worst ending with no answer that will come someday.
So a certain amount of sacrifice… I can’t help it.
I can’t help it…
Shhhhh–
Pooh!!!
“What…?!”
At that time, I was thinking about how to move for the next plan.
Suddenly, a spear struck from the sky like lightning pierced Cookie from the back to the abdomen.
The cotton inside came out, and the tattered body was hung on the floor along with the pierced spear. I became stuck.
“I finally found it. I had a hard time finding it.”
What I heard was the voice of a compatriot with a stupid mother.
However, I could clearly sense that his voice was infinitely cold, unlike his bewildered tone.
“Big… Nya…!”
He immediately tried to escape the window that had pierced him. But he didn’t even budge.
“I can’t use magic, pointy. Because you specifically added it to this woman’s features, pointy.”
When I turned my head to where the voice came from, a fairy in the form of a cute cat doll just like Cookie was floating in the air. It was smaller than Cookie, cute, and had a cotton candy-like appearance that made you want to be female.
Next to it, a magical girl was floating with eyes that had no light like a doll.
That magical girl is a magical girl named ‘Noel’ that Kei met once… But it was fine with Cookie now.
“What is this… What… Is this…! You would not have been allowed to attack your fellow countrymen!”
“That’s right. Attacks against fellow countrymen are strictly prohibited by decision-making from above.”
However, the female cat fairy continued.
“But pointy. Traitors who betrayed us are no longer called compatriots.”
At the fairy’s beckoning, Noel again took her new spear in her hand.
As it was, he hurled it with all his might at Cookie, who was already stuck on the floor and couldn’t move.
