Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　It was clearly not a pleasant experience for her.

　And now, to suddenly tell her that Moilei feels like there are new units available is obviously even more unacceptable.

　Cong Yu couldn't offer her any comfort regarding this...

　The only way to get her to stop Yu Yu is to start from somewhere else.

　"It's alright. You've already been taking Nagashima Koki around to carry out the transformation, right? The crisis might be over soon."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he envisioned a scenario that even he couldn't guarantee, saying, "And perhaps it could end with a 'total evacuation'... leaving Moirai with an empty planet."

　If that were the case, it would be perfect.

　Immortal Kui, lost in thought, fell silent, while Chi You seemed to realize something: "Where will we go after leaving Earth?"

　Cong Yu, who was completely unable to think about the question, was stunned by Chi You's words. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

　"However, Etzel should be quite familiar with the universe..."

　With that, Cong Yu shrugged, trying to make her voice sound as relaxed as possible: "I'll just ask her for recommendations later."

　"..." That makes sense. It seems that the Mongol Wild Hunt King was the first person to lose his homeland.

　Thinking of this, the three people in the car, excluding Cong Yu who was speaking, all felt a little more relaxed.

　While it might be a bit much, the feeling of having a classmate who frequently skips class among a group of people being told "don't go to class" does give one a sense of security.

　"There's no need to worry too much..."

　As Chi You spoke, he leaned lazily against the side of the vehicle, arms crossed: "The Machine God doesn't even sound as strong as the Angel."

　That's hard to say, after all, nobody knows what that thing is...maybe it can use some kind of dark matter cannon.

　Cong Yu was contemplating his imagined enemy when, before he could say anything, the car slammed on the brakes…

　"Squeak-"

　With a sudden stop, Chi You, with her arms crossed, lurched forward, but thanks to her quick reflexes, she didn't hit the back of the seat in front of her.

　"what……"

　Xian Kui also made a similar statement, her voice sounding quite serious: "I can't sense any magical fluctuations."

　"..." What happened?

　With this question in mind, Cong Yu and Chi You huddled together, looking out through the vehicle's windshield.

　Then what came into their view was...

　There are three mechs.

　……

　The three mechs looked incredibly high-tech and seemed completely out of place in this era.

　Like those killing machines that only exist in science fiction anime, piloted by magical girl pilots, used in space battles...

　It's probably like a Gundam... although it's not very tall, its height is probably only about three meters.

　These three Gundams are hovering above the prison in the distance!

　Chapter 862 The Unyielding and Unwilling Soul

　Three mechs, each with a metallic sheen and brimming with technological sophistication, named "Mech Gods," hovered above the prison.

　These mechs, which are about three meters tall and have a humanoid, streamlined shape, clearly broke out of the prison below and descended.

　The prison below was clearly in disarray.

　It was clear that numerous prison guards were talking into walkie-talkies. They might be reporting something, or they might be waiting for instructions.

　Then, the order to open fire was finally relayed to the prison guards and also to the watchtowers.

　In a tense and uneasy atmosphere...

　"Da da da!!!"

　With a deafening roar, and at the command to fire, jets of fire shot from the gun muzzles toward the mechs in the air.

　However, these attacks can hardly be called "effective," they are more like "completely useless."

　"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

　Aside from the bullets bouncing and a few slight noises, these mechs provided no further feedback.

　And at this moment, it seems

　Only then did one of the machine soldiers realize there was a threat below, and it slowly raised its right hand.

　Then, in the center of its palm, an energy ball began to condense and began to emit dazzling electric light.

　"Zizzizi..."

　With a crackling sound, the plasma ball grew larger and larger until its light almost illuminated the entire prison.

　The soldiers who were firing maintained their fire, but a sense of foreboding welled up in their hearts.

　As the electric light accumulated to its peak, the machine warrior pushed its hand forward with a sudden burst, and the energy ball flew towards a certain watchtower like a shooting star... This was pure energy, not magic or the power of faith.

　Although the exact power is uncertain, if hit, the soldiers on the watchtower would probably be covered in bruises.

　Well, it could also be pieces from different parts of the same place.

　But at this moment...

　"stop!"

　"[Thunderous roar! A powerful aura filling the entire space!]"

　Accompanied by a resounding chant and the surge of magic, a flash of white lightning flew out from the side and struck the lightning ball almost instantly.

　"boom!!!"

　After a tremendous roar, the two soldiers inside the watchtower were immediately blasted out.

　However, it didn't seem to be missing any limbs, and it quickly got up from the ground and swiftly withdrew from the battlefield.

　Yes, a prison used to hold magical girls can't just be guarded by soldiers...

　What if magical girls break out of prison?

　A typical prison has at least two standard squads of magical girls stationed there, and some even have three squads of four girls each.

　Several figures flew out swiftly, and various spells shone brightly from the wands... or rather, the "magic" swords in their hands.

　These people clearly knew nothing about the Machine Gods.

　"Holy crap? What the hell? Are they Moirai's new soldiers? They're not going for the angelic path anymore, they're going for the tech path now?"

　A magical girl exclaimed in a Chinese-style shock, her left hand flashing with lightning... proving that the spell that had just blocked the electric ball was her doing.

　"That makes perfect sense..."

　Another magical girl said this, as countless mysterious characters began to gradually wrap around the blade of her sword: "After all, they are enemies of the future."

　The last magical girl didn't say anything, but focused on the battle... her face looked terrible.

　It's highly likely that he has some kind of grudge against Moirai.

　Such people are not a minority in today's world...

　The mechanical warriors, of course, paid no attention to the magical girls' spells. They slowly turned their heads, and three pairs of electronic eyes simultaneously locked onto the squad.

　Then, the same lightning energy ball began to condense once again in the palm of one of the Mechs, this time targeting the three magical girls.

　However, the movements of this mech were noticeably sluggish...

　I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the speed at which it attacks and gathers lightning even seems a bit... struggling?

　The other two mechs immediately locked onto a certain direction, seemingly preparing to speed away.

　The magical girls scanned the remaining and departing Mechs, and finally, with unspoken understanding, decided to fight the one that remained... because of intelligence.

　Because it's uncertain what level of enemy they are.

　The lack of intelligence forced them to treat this new enemy, known as the Machine God Soldier, with caution... even though its strength appeared to be mediocre.

　As for why I say that...

　The lightning orbs condensed by the machine soldiers could be blocked and detonated even by them using magic, and the shockwave only blew the people in the watchtower away.

　Even the watchtower wasn't damaged, so how strong could it be?

　However, we still have to be vigilant.

　"Gah..."

　The remaining mech suddenly emitted a "ga" electronic sound, alerting the magical girls.

　"Stop...them..."

　Emulating this electronic sound, the words could be vaguely discerned as the machine soldier's hands trembled considerably.

　With his left hand aimed at the three magical girls, lightning gathered in his hand, while his other hand tightly gripped his left wrist.

　The entire machine was trembling...struggling.

　"Stop...!"

　As it made this sound, the trembling of the machine intensified, and the right hand gripping its left wrist tightened its grip even more.

　"Ah... ah ah..."

　It seemed to be screaming incoherently, with flashes of electricity constantly appearing from its left wrist, as if the wires were about to short-circuit.

　Then, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone watching...

　"Bang!!!"

　"Crackling!!!"

　With the sound of metal breaking, the left hand of this mech was torn off by itself.

　A dazzling blue lightning bolt shone from the left wrist of this mech warrior... contrasting with the stars in the dark night sky.

　Then, a very clear and rational electronic voice rang out from the "head" of this mech: "Please help! Stop them!!"

　While talking to someone who was unclear about who it was, the mech warrior trembled as it pointed its right hand at the two mech warriors that were gradually disappearing into the distance.

　Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, it aimed at its companion in the sky.

　Then, the blue lightning energy ball shot towards the two departing machine-like weapons.

　It flew out and directly hit and destroyed the head of one of them.

　"There's internal strife?"

　A magical girl asked this question.

　At that moment, Chi You, who had abruptly gotten out of the car, asked a similar question to hers: "Why are they killing each other?"

　"..."

　"No...it's not about killing."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he gazed at the destroyed Mech Warrior falling from the sky: "It was liberation after breaking free from control..."

　It seems that no one can see it.

　Cong Yu thought this... and only he could see it.

　……

　Those resentful souls of humans (magical girls, monsters) who were freed from the crashed machine guns, their faces filled with regret and gratitude.

　And then there's that one-armed mech...

　That struggling and indomitable human soul.

　Chapter 863 The Connection Three Years Ago

　Machine God Soldier.

　He has always been a machine gun... Moirai created it, and it always has been, both in the past and in the future.

　Soul reincarnated into a machine...

　Moirai was his creator.
