"…Eh?"

She finally came to her senses.

The surrounding streets have become strange.

It was only during the time she was quietly immersed in listening to the music.

The surrounding streets were completely deserted.

"What... what happened...?"

She quickly took off her headphones and looked around in surprise.

Because this street should be exactly the same as the one she had taken before, there shouldn't be a situation like this, where suddenly there isn't a single person to be seen.

The road she was walking on wasn't some gloomy, narrow alleyway; there shouldn't have been no one to be seen at all.

No, in the end—

This desolate atmosphere is far more than just ordinary coldness and loneliness.

She put away her headphones and phone and looked around.

Swish.

A voice was heard.

Hatsune Miku turned her head and stared straight ahead at a certain spot.

—Things like railings surrounded the entire area.

"this--!"

The already black sky instantly became even darker.

Even the world itself seemed to be distorted, transforming into some kind of unpredictable space that enveloped the surrounding area.

The white cotton ball jumped up in front of Hatsune Miku.

Yes.

Just like the cotton we see in real life, except it has a face, a beard, and can hop and skip as it comes.

That was a monster that completely violated normal biological physiology.

There is more than one monster.

"What, what is this—?"

She took a step back in shock. Although she was reluctant to admit it, Hatsune Miku was indeed frightened by these monsters.

They approached this way step by step, accompanied by eerie laughter.

"Hehe, hehe, hehehe."

"Hehe ...

Meaningless and chaotic.

Those monsters were not even worthy of being called creatures, and the meaning of their cries was completely unknown.

Under Hatsune Miku's gaze, at the same moment, something resembling scissors shot into the air.

It was a bizarre monster whose power was beyond measure.

The girl froze in astonishment, but then, colorful light began to shine on her.

A magic that didn't belong to this world unfolded instantly.

The surge of power instantly transformed into a tangible impact, blasting the monsters in front of them away in one fell swoop.

The girl was enveloped in light, and the moment the light dissipated, her clothes were completely different.

The lily-colored dress, mainly in white and blue, is an even more captivating garment.

Magical Future—that's the name of this outfit.

It's probably pieced together from Hatsune Miku's commemorative outfit from 2017, and the appearance of this outfit is exactly the same as it was back in 2017.

Her body fell from mid-air to the ground, her hand tightly gripping the somewhat futuristic magic wand.

An unusual radiance rose from her hands.

Using the power of her wand, she can transform her own spiritual energy into something called magic power, and then launch a powerful attack.

In other words, magic.

Boom—!! The radiance transformed into a giant Rubik's Cube that enveloped the air. The Rubik's Cube itself was a huge transparent cube about ten meters long. The moment Miku waved her wand, the Rubik's Cube exploded, shooting out in all directions in streamlined, scattered beams of light.

These were all attack methods that Accelerator instructed her to practice over a period of two days.

Hatsune Miku discovered that this outfit not only allowed her to better unleash the power of her voice, but also enabled her to manifest even more fantastical magical attacks through the transformation of her mental energy.

Magic itself is not Accelerator's area of ​​expertise, but he is the epitome of miracles, and he can assess Hatsune Miku's power after watching her a few times.

"Simply put, with this power, you can convert all the power you want to use in your mind into so-called magic."

If she wants to launch a wide-range attack, she can simply unleash a scattering attack like the one just now.

If she wants to unleash a powerful attack, she can concentrate her mental energy into a single point and release a massive beam of magical energy.

Similarly, the wand itself can also cast a variety of other spells, including spells that allow her to fly in mid-air, spells that allow her to disguise herself as other people, and spells that can heal injuries and create protective shields with mental energy.

She will no longer be just a burden.

Even if the actual operation is far inferior to Accelerator, who has been using his abilities for many years, it will definitely be an epic-level power boost for Hatsune Miku.

She can stand by that person's side and face danger together with him.

After focusing her mental energy into the wand, Hatsune Miku gently lifted it.

I dreamt of rainbow-like sounds again today!

It shone brightly.

A halo-like particle effect condensed beneath her feet, and her body easily broke free from the constraints of the laws of gravity.

The magic of flight.

So-called magic is the power that can be activated simply by relying on the resonance of singing and spiritual energy.

If it's just a simple attack, there's no need to chant lyrics excessively. However, if it's an overly massive attack, chanting is absolutely necessary.

But if it's just dealing with these simple little monsters, there's far from enough need for that.

Hatsune Miku flew forward, her raised little hand instantly coalescing in front of her.

"Feeling is the same as physical sensation"

Magic that enhances speed.

Her body instantly deviated from normal speed, shooting out like an arrow and flashing forward in an instant.

The light shone again.

This time, the five different colored transparent Rubik's Cubes exploded in mid-air.

The power swallowed all the monsters below.

Hatsune Miku landed easily on the ground using her own power.

But, it's not over yet.

She looked around and saw that there were still many monsters surrounding her, too many to count.

A single, simple attack is not enough to completely eliminate them.

Should we use a large-scale spell?

Recalling what Accelerator had said earlier, Hatsune Miku bit her lip, feeling somewhat undecided.

At this time.

A series of shots instantly tore everything in its path apart.

"Eh…?"

She was slightly taken aback when a strange shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.

It was a golden figure.

"That was really dangerous. If they had pounced on us earlier, we would have been in big trouble."

A girl of similar age suddenly appeared in front of him.

The hat looked like a beret, and her white and yellow dress, which resembled lilies, was somewhat similar to it.

Her long, golden hair was styled into curls, and every move she made exuded elegance, like a true young lady.

Hatsune Miku blinked in surprise.

"Well, that..."

"I'm so glad you're alright. The power you displayed just now was quite formidable."

The girl walked over with a light laugh.

"But before that, we should deal with them first."

She gently lifted her hat.

From within the hat, countless flintlock-like weapons shot out, eventually coalescing into a massive cannon muzzle.

It's practically like the main cannon of a tank.

The girl in front of him easily grasped the turret in front of her and fired a single shot that wiped out all the monsters in front of her.

Just for a moment.

Although Hatsune Miku also has magic of the same level, this kind of move that gives people a strong sense of impact from the very beginning really frightened her.

"It's over. Are you back to your senses?"

She blinked, and only then did she realize that everything around her had returned to the original street.

Only the blonde girl remained in front of him.

"Um, thank you so much for saving me. May I ask who you are?"

"Just call me Mami Tomoe. In return, could you please tell me your name?"

Hatsune Miku…

The girl blinked, looking at the girl in front of her who called herself Mami Tomoe with some surprise.

Is this the power system of this world?

That looks really strange; they actually pulled the gun out of the hat...

"However, judging from your fighting strength just now, although you were very strong, you didn't seem to be particularly skilled. Could you be a newcomer who just joined recently?"

"A newcomer...?"

"Well, after all, only we are capable of doing something like this."

The blonde girl smiled and continued.

"We are all the same magical girls, fighting to protect the people of this city from harm, righteous girls."

"Right?"

Chapter Ninety-Five: Companions, How Wonderful!

Magical... girl?

Hatsune Miku blinked, looking confused.

"Um, excuse me, what are you talking about...?"

I couldn't understand some of what they were saying—no, I should say I couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

Hatsune Miku looked at the blonde girl in front of her with surprise, expressing her own sense of doubt.

"Oh dear, so you're a newbie after all."

The girl who called herself Mami Tomoe calmly smiled in front of him.

she continued.
