Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"What do you think?"

Li Yue hadn't expected Hiratsuka Shizuka to come. He had been planning to play with the three members of the Service Club, and after today's learning session, he was going back to prepare for the dungeon. But Hiratsuka Shizuka unexpectedly showed up, so at first, she couldn't see him. After discovering her, Li Yue made sure she could see him, intending to bring her in as well.

"No way! I just wanted to see what my students were doing, and suddenly I've become a gossipmonger. This is too outrageous!"

"So, do you want to be one?"

"When what?"

"Magical girl."

Li Yue took a transformation device out of her pocket.

"I want to be a magical girl too!?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared in astonishment at the transformation device in Li Yue's hand. She was almost thirty years old; was she really going to become a magical girl?!

"Wait, am I going to end up like them?"

"No way, am I going to have to dress like them too?"

If it were a teenager, it would be one thing, but she's almost thirty, and if someone saw her wearing a magical girl outfit, they'd laugh themselves to death!

"Oysters, oysters, oysters~~"

This older single woman shook her head like a broken wave drum.

"If you don't want to be a magical girl, then if you encounter a Hollow, you'll have to rely on your own luck."

Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka refused, Li Yue nonchalantly put away her Divine Eye.

"Oh no, no, no, I'm still willing to do it."

Although it's shameful, compared to life, life is definitely more important. My life is more important.

"Then let's continue."

Li Yue once again took out the Eye of God and tossed it to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"As for how to transform, you should have just watched the whole process of the three of them transforming, so you can just transform like them."

"Um, do I have to undergo transformation training here like them?"

Having obtained the Eye of God, Hiratsuka Shizuka found herself in a similar dilemma to her three students. She wanted to try out new powers, but she also felt ashamed of transforming in front of others, entering a complex state of mind.

"If you find it troublesome, you can go back and train alone."

"Huh? Can I train alone? Without having to train with them?"

Li Yue's answer surprised and delighted Hiratsuka Shizuka.

“That’s right. You can go back and train on your own because you are a mature adult and your body has obviously undergone a long period of training. Unlike Yukinoshita, who has trained but is physically weak, you have plenty of stamina. So I only need to tell you how to train, and the rest is up to you.”

"That's great!"

The fact that Hiratsuka Shizuya has become a magical girl must not be known to those three people. It is precisely because they do not know that they will be even more surprised when they meet her as a magical girl.

With that, the Service Club trio, along with their teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka, all four magical girls were ready. The next step was to prepare them to appear before the public as magical girls!

I'm really looking forward to their performance.

294. Hachiman Hikigaya's First Battle

My name is Hachiman Hikigaya, and I am an ordinary high school boy. Or rather, until the day before yesterday, I was an ordinary high school boy. Until the evening of the day before yesterday, everything changed.

I've become a magical boy! Seriously, what was the guy who invented this transformation device thinking? What kind of magical girl outfit combined with a boy makes him a magical boy? He's clearly just a pervert dressed as a magical girl!

What if someone sees this? Will they say I, Hachiman Hikigaya, am a cross-dressing pervert?! This is going to be a disaster, my friend!

But there was no other way; it was all to save my own life. After all, before the day before yesterday, I never imagined that there would be evil spirits in this world. The world I had lived in for more than ten years suddenly became so unfamiliar in a single day.

So even if people might see me and think I'm a pervert, I'm going to be a magical girl! Pshaw, I should say a magical boy! No matter what, I'll stick to the idea that I'm a boy!

After two days of training, I have temporarily mastered the power of a magical girl. Although I haven't encountered any more evil spirits yet, according to what that Grim Reaper said, I should now be able to fight them.

Hachiman Hikigaya has this idea now, and as usual, he walks to Sobu High School in the morning.

However, unlike usual, Hachiman Hikigaya is now more focused on observing his surroundings on his way to school, not for any other reason than to prevent himself from being attacked by special evil spirits that may appear from nowhere.

Hachiman Hikigaya was such a cautious and prudent man.

"It shouldn't be that unlucky, encountering an evil spirit in just a few days."

According to Mr. Death, those evolved Hollows are extremely rare. After all, if there were many Hollows, the entire human world would be in chaos. They are evil spirits that would actively harm ordinary people for their own amusement, while ordinary evil spirits simply follow their habits and only attack those who can see them.

I just encountered an evolved evil spirit a few days ago, so I shouldn't encounter another one anytime soon.

Hachiman Hikigaya's mind was filled with such wishful thinking.

But sometimes, the more you try to avoid an accident, the more likely it is to happen!

"No."

When Hachiman Hikigaya was two blocks away from the school, he saw a huge black shadow standing in the middle of the road.

This enormous black shadow was even larger than the one I encountered at school, and its form was more like a giant sphere than the previous human-like evil spirit. Moreover, this giant sphere stood directly in the middle of the road, like a goalkeeper, blocking the entire road.

"How could I be so unlucky? I've only just begun to grasp the power of magical girls, and you're already making me face someone like this?"

Looking at the enormous evil spirit, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but internally rant and rave.

"And the first one we encountered was a special kind of Hollow. How unlucky can we be?"

Having learned from Yukino Yukinoshita's own experience and the explanation from the Shinigami, Hachiman Hikigaya now knows that ordinary evil spirits appear quite pure. They go around looking for people, approaching each one and asking if they can see them. If the person being asked can't see them, the evil spirit will leave and move on to the next person. But if the person being asked can see them, they will attack the target. Besides that, these evil spirits usually only attack souls that have died but haven't had time to go to the Soul Society. This is the situation with ordinary evil spirits.

If you encounter an evil spirit that doesn't seek out people, you can be pretty sure it's not an ordinary evil spirit, but a special kind of evil spirit that has evolved and will actively attack ordinary people.

"What should I do? Should I go around it? After all, I'm all alone. Even with the power of a magical girl, I can't defeat her by myself, right?"

As if consulting with his own heart, Hachiman Hikigaya muttered to himself.

Although he possessed the power of a magical girl, he felt that he couldn't fight such a guy alone, especially since this evil spirit looked so big and was obviously not easy to deal with, so he chose to avoid it!

However, just as Hachiman Hikigaya decided to take a detour to avoid the evil spirit, a female student next to him rode her bicycle toward the direction of the evil spirit.

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was about to turn around, he saw the girl walk past and quickly reached out to stop her. Unfortunately, before he could even speak, the girl had already ridden her bicycle to a spot not far from the evil spirit.

Hachiman Hikigaya watched the girl nervously, wondering if she would be attacked when she passed by the evil spirits.

Under Hachiman Hikigaya's watchful eye, the goddess rode her bicycle past the evil spirit.

"call--"

The fact that he wasn't attacked relieved Hachiman Hikigaya.

But just as he was feeling relieved, the evil spirit's enormous body suddenly moved. A tentacle suddenly emerged from its massive body and grabbed the bicycle wheel. The bicycle's rear wheel was suddenly grabbed, instantly losing its ability to move forward. The girl sitting on the bicycle was flipped over and rolled off the bicycle, falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the girl was riding her bike at a relatively slow speed, so the impact was not too great. Otherwise, if her head had hit the ground first, she might have suffered serious injuries, or even been killed by the impact.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

The girl who had fallen to the ground got up, rubbed her head, then touched her bottom, and looked at her bicycle with a puzzled expression.

"What happened? This is flat ground. Did the car break down?"

The girl got up in confusion and limped towards her bicycle.

"Oh no! The chain broke! I've only had this bike for less than a month!"

The girl looked at her bicycle with a miserable expression as the chain broke, but in Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes, behind the girl, a huge evil spirit was opening its mouth wide. The gaping mouth on that huge body could swallow the girl's entire upper body whole, but the girl was completely unaware of it.

"Ugh, damn it, I can't care anymore!"

Unable to bear watching any longer, Hachiman Hikigaya shouted helplessly, then rushed forward, picked up the girl who was checking her bicycle, and ran away.

"Huh?! What?! Who are you?! What do you want?! Help!"

The girl, who was suddenly picked up, thought she had been kidnapped and immediately started screaming for help.

But Hachiman Hikigaya didn't have time to deal with her. After rescuing the goddess from the evil spirit's gaping maw, Hachiman Hikigaya pulled out his transformation device.

"Watch my transformation!"

Back when he was in school, he was hit by a car while saving Yui Yuigahama's dog. This time, he chose to transform into a magical girl in order to save this innocent girl!

A blinding light flashed across the street, and after the flash, Hachiman Hikigaya appeared, dressed in an orange magical girl outfit.

The girl who was being picked up by him was stunned when she saw the man holding her suddenly transform into a beautiful girl.

295. Are there two abnormal individuals?

What's going on? What is this? Why is this boy dressed as a woman? And is this outfit a cheerleader outfit? No, it looks more like cosplay, but why is he here? Why is he on the street?

And most importantly, why is he hugging me? Is he a pervert? Is a cross-dressing pervert trying to assault a high school girl like me? In the early morning? Right there on the street!?

Just as the girl was screaming for help in a panic, Hachiman Hikigaya put her down on the ground.

"Run quickly!"

"what?"

The girl, who had originally intended to run away, froze for a moment, not quite understanding what was happening.

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

Hachiman Hikigaya watched as the girl stood there dumbfounded and urged her again, but the goddess seemed to have gotten excited and was unwilling to leave. The girl put her hands on her hips and began to complain to Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Wait, why do I have to run? You suddenly picked me up and ran a few steps, then put me down and made me run again. What do you mean by that?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was dumbfounded by what the girl said. No, things have come to this point, and you still care about this? Shouldn't you just run away?

"Hehehe, I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise today!"

Before Hachiman could tell the girl to leave, the enormous evil spirit slowly turned around, emitting a muffled sound.

The girl couldn't see it, but Hachiman Hikigaya could see it very clearly: this enormous evil spirit was actually a giant octopus.

The reason it looked like a ball before was because this giant evil spirit had all its tentacles clasped together, making it look like a single entity. Combined with its huge head, it looked like an octopus. Just now, it extended one tentacle to intercept the bicycle, and now it has extended all its tentacles.

The giant octopus had at least a dozen tentacles, not just eight. Not only that, but this octopus was also floating in the sky. What does that mean? It means that it can fly.

"Hey, this is a high-level mission that involves flying right off the bat? Isn't that a bit too difficult? This doesn't seem like something I can handle."

Even though Hachiman Hikigaya had never experienced actual combat, he understood how difficult it would be to deal with flying units. After all, if the opponent couldn't win, they could simply fly into the sky. In Hachiman Hikigaya's view, these aerial units were the most disgusting enemies.

Especially since his ability is rock, which is a ground unit, even if he creates rocks to smash people, they can't hit them too high. Such enemies are a perfect counter to him!

"Hey, what do you mean? Who are you talking to?"
