Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

Chapter 121 People Will Die! (February 2.6th, 1/5)

Smash the phone.

Kurokawa immediately turned around, forcing himself to focus on the final pre-battle preparations.

But after the call ended, the inexplicable anxiety in my heart not only didn't subside, but instead burned even brighter, like a fire fueled by oil.

A sense of irritability surged through my veins, and I couldn't suppress my anger.

His actions of checking the equipment unconsciously carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Just then, Yukimura's voice rang out again: "You need to go in and delay those monsters—if you really want to go, let me go with you."

She stood beside the car, her eyes behind her glasses looking at him.

"I might be able to help."

Kurokawa ignored her.

He was taking stock of the array of drones hovering on the roof of the car, ready to go.

Twenty floating turrets, their dark blue standby indicator lights forming a continuous line.

The quantity is complete.

He opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

With a quick flick of the finger, the engine started, and the instrument panel lit up one by one.

Xuecun followed to the car window.

"Please, let me go with you." Her voice was even more urgent than before. "I've always had a keen intuition; maybe I can spot danger early and really help!"

Kurokawa continued to ignore it.

He checked the energy cell readings, his mind racing through the tactical module combinations he might need later.

"I promise I won't hold you back," Xuecun said, pressing his hand against the edge of the car window with a slight pressure from his knuckles. "Please take me with you, I beg you."

Kurokawa's already agitated mood was completely ignited by this incessant pleading.

Anger suddenly surged up.

He suddenly pushed open the car door, stepped out, grabbed Xuecun's collar, and pulled her forward!

The distance between the two instantly closed.

"People will die!"

He lowered his voice, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with barely suppressed anger.

"An ordinary person like you, without combat gear or training, going in is just suicide! You'll be dead in an instant!"

He stared at her, his eyes filled with undisguised anxiety and warning.

"Don't come and cause trouble!"

He pulled Xuecun close to him.

She neither struggled nor dodged.

Behind the thick lenses, those eyes met Kurokawa's angry gaze directly.

Then, Kurokawa looked through the lens again and saw those eyes that seemed to contain a galaxy of tiny stars.

At this moment, there was no gentleness or timidity as usual, only an almost stubborn determination.

Even—a flicker of anger was burning within her, but that anger wasn't directed at him; it seemed more directed at her own powerlessness.

"I know."

She spoke, her voice soft yet exceptionally clear.

"I knew I would die."

She repeated it, her lower lip turning white from being bitten.

"But I've already—watched a student get injured and fall unconscious." There was a slight, almost imperceptible tremor in her voice. "I can't—watch both of them go in and risk their lives too."

She had previously used the excuse that "professional matters should be handled by professionals" to convince herself to stand aside.

But what she saw was the tragic end of her student, who was seriously injured and in a coma.

She could no longer convince herself with the same reasons.

Even if it meant death, she wanted to die protecting her students.

Instead of standing outside like a helpless bystander, only able to pray in their hearts that the students will return safely.

She raised her eyes and looked at Kurokawa again, her gaze almost pleading, yet also carrying a stubborn determination to gamble everything.

"Please—let me go with you."

"I promise I will never hold you back."

Kurokawa's anger seemed to have hit a silent wall.

His grip on his collar loosened unconsciously.

This woman—is serious.

It's not about showing off, nor is it about being ignorant and fearless.

She was fully aware of the danger, yet she still chose to go in.

For her students.

Kurokawa stared directly into her eyes for a full two or three seconds.

All around were the howling night wind and the faint wails coming from the distant crimson pillar of light.

Yet another fool—knowing he'll die but still rushing forward.

Suddenly, he let go.

Xuecun stumbled back two or three steps before he could barely regain his balance.

Kurokawa didn't look at her again, turned to face the back of the car, and suddenly raised his voice, shouting, "You two!"

At the rear of the vehicle, Chika and Kaoru, who had just changed into their combat suits, simultaneously poked their heads out.

The two women had changed into their combat suits a dozen seconds ago, but they didn't dare to show themselves when they heard the argument.

But to their surprise, Kurokawa spotted them immediately.

Kurokawa's gaze swept over them.

"Listen up, everyone. During the battle..."

Every word he uttered seemed to hit the ground.

"Absolutely ignore this woman!"

"If any of you dare to disregard your own safety and get distracted during the battle to care for her..."

His eyes sharpened.

"Go back and be fired immediately! Not only that, I will hold you accountable!"

Chika and Kaoru were taken aback at first.

They originally thought that no matter what Kurokawa said, he would never allow Yukimura-sensei to follow.

But to my surprise, he actually agreed!?

The two of them immediately straightened their backs.

"Yes!" the two replied loudly in unison.

Kurokawa then walked to the back of the car and rummaged through the spare equipment compartment in the trunk to find a set of items.

He walked back to Xuecun and shoved something into her arms with a "thud".

It was a breathing mask powered by a magical battery, which allowed people to inhale atomized magical energy into their bodies.

"No combat suit for you? Only this." Kurokawa's voice remained cold. "A breathing device, at most it can enhance your perception and reaction, preventing you from dying without even knowing how."

Before Xuecun could react, he shoved a pistol at him.

The magazine is filled with specially made magic bullets.

"You know how to use a handgun, right? Use this for self-defense."

He stared at her, then finally said, "Don't even think about fighting later. If you're going to die, go die somewhere else."

"Don't get in my way."

After saying that, he stopped looking at her and turned to walk towards the driver's seat.

Xuecun, holding the heavy mask and pistol in his arms, paused for a moment in surprise.

Then, she bowed deeply to Kurokawa's retreating figure.

"Thanks!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was very solemn.

Kurokawa paused for a moment, but did not respond.

Xuecun, clutching his mask and pistol, looked somewhat lost.

These items were from a completely different world to her.

"Teacher! Let me help you!"

Chika's voice rang out, radiating a unique energy.

She ran over quickly and deftly picked up the breathing mask.

"This is worn here—yes, make sure the buckle is fastened tightly. This switch is for enhancing the sensor; don't turn it on unnecessarily, it drains the battery very quickly."

As Chika quickly explained, she helped Yukimura adjust the straps, her fingers moving nimbly.

"The pistol is simple. The safety is here, pull it here to fire. The bullets the president gave us are special; they're effective against those things. But remember, use them sparingly!"

Yukimura let Chika do as she pleased, silently noting down each step.

The cold, hard metal and composite materials her fingertips touched reminded her of the dangerous territory she was about to enter.

Equipment complete.

She looked up and saw Kurokawa walk to the side of the road and kick the spherical energy barrier that was wrapped in justice into the shadow of the roadside green belt, making sure it wouldn't obstruct the road.

Then, he bent down and picked up the three crystal cores that were scattered on the ground.

A shimmering, pale blue halo, imbued with the power of wind and levitation.

A blazing white light, the source of light that has just dispelled the darkness.

The last one, with a murky and dull color and a shadowy flow inside, was the faceless man's crystal core, its abilities unknown.

He put these crystal cores directly into his pocket.

Seemingly noticing Yukimura's gaze, Kurokawa turned his head and glanced at her.

"This is my payment for cleaning up her mess," he said succinctly.

Xuecun's lips moved slightly.

Taking a student's things without permission, even if they belong to a magical girl—

The act itself made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

But considering the risks Kurokawa and his team were about to take, and their need for every possible means of assistance, he swallowed his objection.

In the end, she simply nodded slightly and looked away.

Soon, everyone was ready.

Kurokawa was the first to sit in the driver's seat.

Chika and Kaoru opened the back door and quickly climbed inside.

Xuecun took a deep breath, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Hold on tight."

Kurokawa didn't say anything more.

He shifted into gear and floored the accelerator.

Buzz—! ! !

The engine roared furiously, and the tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground.

The chariots shot out like wild beasts unleashed!

Without taking a detour or slowing down, it crashed straight into the school's side wall!

boom-!!!

The wall collapsed like paper!

The tank rolled over the ruins, its body jolted violently, then came to a stop and sped into the campus at an astonishing speed, heading straight for the open track and field on the east side!

Gravel and dust flew up behind the vehicle.

Xuecun gripped the handrail tightly, his heart pounding wildly.

The scene before her eyes rushed past rapidly; she had never experienced such a brutal and direct "entry method."

A few seconds later, the vehicle rushed onto the synthetic track of the athletic field.

Kurokawa jerked the steering wheel and pulled the handbrake at the same time!

laugh-!!!

The car body, propelled by inertia, traced a near-perfect semi-circular arc and came to a steady stop in the center of the track.

The dust settled slowly.

Kurokawa did not pause.

He rapidly operated the control terminal in front of him, his fingertips leaving afterimages on the virtual screen.

The instruction has been issued.

On the roof of the vehicle, the twenty floating turrets that were on standby were launched simultaneously.

The buzzing sound instantly rose, and the pale blue standby light turned into a blinding scarlet.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!

Like a swarm of bees leaving their hive, they were launched from the roof of the car and quickly dispersed in the air, forming a well-organized three-dimensional attack array.

The cannon was adjusted, energy began to condense, and it locked onto the churning, blood-red area ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the trailer cover at the rear of the vehicle slid open.

Three exclusive dolls.

Kurokawa's "Subduing Demon Vajra", and Kaoru's "Thousand Thunder" and "Thousand Shadows".

He stepped out of the cabin and stood silently in front of the tank.

Their eyes gleamed crimson, their armor plates were slightly adjusted, and they entered a state of combat readiness.

King Kong immediately activates its own enlarging module.

His height instantly increased to 10 meters.

The massive body cast a reassuring shadow under the crimson beam of light.

Kurokawa opened the car door and stepped out.

The night wind carried a strong stench of blood and dust, almost suffocating the senses.

He stood beside the car, looking up at the ruins of the teaching building that were so close at hand.

pressure.

The pressure, heavy to the point of being almost tangible, weighed heavily on my shoulders.

Perhaps due to the pressure, the nameless fire in his chest burned ever brighter.

It disturbed his peace of mind.

Kurokawa's gaze gradually hardened as he glanced at the countdown timer on his wristwatch.

twenty minutes.

"Let's begin."
