Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

But I didn't feel much fear in my heart. The rationality I gained after the transformation suppressed these negative emotions, making me like a fearless warrior.

There was no one else around. The strange man looked around and finally fixed his gaze on me.

How to do?

Let's see how far a full-force attack can go...

Time-freeze!

This is the name I gave to my magic.

By accelerating oneself, one can freeze the entire world!

The flow of time was stretched to its limit, increasing the speed by about ten times. The strange man who had been crawling over was now moving as slowly as a snail.

I rushed in front of it, but its pupils couldn't even keep up with me.

Now, I'm more than just fast.

Instead of using the two short swords I wasn't used to, I chose to kick them.

The rough, rock-like crocodile head looks very sturdy, perhaps providing a visual indication of the power of my kick.

boom--

Even in acceleration mode, a dull thud could be heard as the crocodile's head, like a watermelon struck by a baseball bat, shattered into large red fragments.

A complete annihilation; it even owes me several vials of health.

The scene was so bloody that I couldn't help but frown.

I thought I would kick it away along with its body, but I didn't expect it to be kicked to pieces. Even its body was still in a relatively fixed state, without much deviation due to the headshot.

Was it because my kick was too fast?

It was as if I had been hit by a blunt bullet.

"it's over?"

I dispelled the spell and relieved all the pressure on my body, but I was still somewhat incredulous.

The association's drone reacted just as quickly, turning its camera to take a series of pictures of my face.

It seems...

I'm about to become famous.

4. Milno's Oath

"Um, may I leave now?"

After easily dealing with the weirdo, there was no interview involved; he simply greeted the armed police who had dispersed on the spot.

Hey! Wait a minute!

But someone called out to him.

Looking back, I saw a young girl wearing a high school uniform—not a sailor uniform, but a British-style school uniform.

She had short brown hair, but carried an iron longsword and shield on her back.

Since she's here, she's most likely the magical girl in charge of the C4 area.

That sword and shield were her weapons?

She's more like a hero than a magical girl.

The JK hero said, "I was planning to step in like a hero when you were in a tough fight, but I didn't expect you to be so strong... Are you really a newbie?"

I thought she was late, but was she just waiting for me to get the short end of the stick?

This behavior is nothing like that of a hero.

“Brand new, I just received the Star Crystal last night,” I answered truthfully.

"Brand new? I love that word! Is your magic super-speed? That's so cool! I didn't even see you blow that monster's head off."

"It was kicked to pieces."

"I can't see clearly, so they're all the same! You're really amazing!"

He's a very outgoing person, but if someone easily intrudes on his inner world, he feels offended.

The strange woman's remains were recovered by the association, and even the armed police withdrew from the scene. She still wouldn't let go of me. The ordinary people will be back soon, and it would be troublesome if she were seen at the scene.

I'm considering whether to speed up and shake her off.

"My name as a magical girl is Metal, and I became a magical girl a year and a half earlier than you. Nice to meet you!"

【Steel Dragon】Metal.

The first part is her popular nickname, and the second part is her name as a magical girl.

She was a magical girl who had fought in Changkong City for a year and a half. I had heard of her name, but that was all; I didn't know much about her.

"My name is... um, I haven't decided on a name yet."

My name as a magical girl can't be my real name, but I haven't decided what to call myself yet.

Metal said, "No name? Does that mean you haven't registered with the association yet?"

"Ah."

The Magical Girl Association is an organization that issues bounties to magical girls, cleans up their messes, and provides various forms of support.

However, the prerequisite for enjoying all these benefits is to first register with the association.

"You won't get the bounty if you don't register, so you'd better register as soon as possible! But the bounty you earned before registering will accumulate, so you don't have to worry about working for nothing this time."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're too kind! Who told you to look so good in a sailor uniform?"

"Ok?"

That's when I realized that I hadn't changed into my battle gear at all. I had just kicked the monster away while wearing a regular black sailor suit, without even taking out my weapon.

"...This outfit is not combat gear."

"Whether it's combat gear or not doesn't matter, as long as it looks good."

It looks good, but it has no defensive capabilities.

However, she was also wearing a high school uniform.

"Is your school uniform also...?"

"No, this is my battle armor."

I don't know if the principle behind battle gear generation is related to personal preference.

Seeing that pedestrians were gradually returning to the intersection, I quickly said, "I have to go."

I don't want to be surrounded by people asking me random questions.

"Alright, let's fight together again next time!"

I don't live in area C4, and I should be registering in area D3 next, so I probably won't have much of a chance to fight together.

However, I didn't tell her.

I breathed a sigh of relief after successfully leaving the intersection. The live stream had captured my face, so I figured I wouldn't be able to go back to the shopping street anytime soon.

The store manager did indeed give me this outfit, right?

------

After transforming back into Shiroko, I pondered my name as a magical girl and went home early.

"I am back."

The pizza on the table had gone cold, with only two slices left, which was the last bit of conscience this idiot had shown... but the smoked meat on top was gone.

Ayao sat cross-legged in front of the TV. This idiot didn't like sitting on the sofa when playing games, but he wasn't fiddling with his new game console.

"Huh? Why aren't you playing video games?" I asked.

"Ah! When did you get back?"

They didn't even notice me, what's going on?

He turned around excitedly, his round face flushed, and asked, "Ye Zi, did you see the battle in D4 just now?"

I have a bad feeling.

"……What's wrong?"

"Let me tell you, the new magical girl who appeared today is super strong! Her movements were swift and clean, and she defeated the monster in an instant without causing much damage to the city. She's a true hero who protected the city!"

"...If you have the ability to quickly deal with a monster, that's what you'd usually do, right?"

"Yezi, you don't know, besides the bounty, another part of a magical girl's income comes from the tips she receives during her live streams. If you're lucky enough, this part can even exceed the bounty! Now, some magical girls deliberately hold back during battles to prolong the fight and pretend to be defeated to gain sympathy, all to trick viewers into giving them tips. This not only causes the streets to be damaged even more, but it also puts them in dangerous situations... ton ton ton."

Ayao grabbed my shoulder and rattled off a whole bunch of things, then picked up the Coke next to him and started chugging it down his throat.

"Calm down... let me watch the live replay."

"Here you go! Burp—"

He handed me his tablet computer.

"After watching this, you'll definitely understand the charm of this magical girl!"

"An unknown supernova?"

It's only been a few hours and it's already got over 100,000 views, so it seems I have quite a few followers...

Click to play.

The crocodile monster landed, and drones circled around it to film close-ups.

The crocodile monster noticed something and suddenly began to crawl.

boom--

The Crocodile Monster was shot in the head, and the association censored it with mosaics.
