You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

'In this way, there is no force in this other world that can resist the Seireitei... Alpha and the others have also gained enough experience. It was definitely the right choice to leave the Order to them to fight monsters and level up.'

Should I select a few people to join my direct command? Beatrice, Alpha, those two dragons…

Just as Iori was considering how to arrange the Third Law Ascension Ceremony, a familiar notification sounded in her mind:

[CG included]

[A Shadow-level powerhouse!]

Introduction: Conquest of another world achieved!

Your name is known everywhere in the world, but no one has ever seen your true form... Is it a phantom in a nightmare, or a demon in a fairy tale?

Rewards Overview:

【Dimensional Gate Re:CREATORS】

Ok?

The new story CG, this name... Oh no, I think I've only heard of the opening sequence, I don't know much about the work itself~ An unknown adventure?

……

"To protect the smiles of children, I will never forgive you! Heartbeat Light Wave!"

"Hahaha! Weak attack! Mighty!"

"Damn it! Everyone, please lend me your power, as long as I have your support..."

Is there something wrong with this worldview? It feels different from my art style!

The usually calm and wise Iori, having witnessed such a bizarre scene, displayed a rare stunned expression:

A colossal beast, the size of a ten-story building, wreaked havoc in the city. Its attacks were incredibly powerful; a single blow could pierce through reinforced concrete buildings or overturn an entire overpass!

However, in stark contrast to its terrifying power, its appearance is quite... cute?

With its round body, cute eyes and nose, and short, thick limbs, it's basically a teddy bear magnified countless times!

Despite its black and red color scheme and even a vampire-style cape, it's definitely not scary at all!

Of course, this wasn't the most shocking thing for Iori. What truly bewildered him was the girl in the skirt flying around in the sky, shimmering with multicolored light and constantly emitting various light waves...

Okay, let's just admit it:

"Why is it a magical girl?!"

Calm down! Calm down, Aizen Iori!

Even magical girls aren't necessarily for children; they might be more serious.

"Ah! Damn it!"

"Rose jam! Don't worry, the pain will fly away~"

When I saw a girl who had been punched away but whose skin wasn't even broken and who only had a little dust on her body, showing how hard she was fighting, Iori couldn't help but cover her face.

This is troublesome. Idealistic children's content... If things go wrong, even I might get killed.

This was the first time Iori had ever thought, "Wow, this world is so dangerous, I should just go home and have dinner."

But before he could make a move, a magical girl standing in the center spotted him and immediately tensed up: "There are still ordinary people who haven't evacuated? Rose, Lily, you guys help me hold them off for a bit!"

As she spoke, she glided down like a swallow, hovering in mid-air, and shouted loudly to Iori on the rooftop of the building: "Quickly take refuge, the demon bear is coming soon!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away—"

Iori's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she turned her head seriously to look at the empty water tower.

"What's this?"

"Huh? What are you spacing out for? Hurry up... um?!"

Under the magical girl's puzzled gaze, the light and shadow on the water tower began to distort, as if countless Rubik's Cubes were collapsing, with blue crystals of various sizes floating around, revealing a different scene that did not match the background of the sky.

"Is this teleportation magic? Is it a new enemy?!"

Just as the magical girl unleashed a defensive array of nested geometric shapes, enveloping both her and Iori, an invisible ripple swept through the space.

"Kick-"

Like unstable radio waves, a chaotic and illusory fluctuation spread through the atmosphere, erasing the original objects and replacing them with completely different scenery.

The feeling was as if an invisible hand was erasing everything into nothingness.

This change spread rapidly, soon encompassing the entire space.

For a fleeting moment, the entire building, including the chaotic battlefield in the distance, vanished completely, replaced by a modern urban scene that Iori found familiar.

But soon, the original scenery was covered again.

When they came to their senses, they found that nothing had changed; Iori and the magical girl were still standing on the same platform.

It all seemed like an illusion, but the two knew very well that it wasn't.

"What?! Mamika has never seen magic like this before!"

So her name is Mami Kaoru—Iori glanced at her and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing your short pink hair and two ponytails, I thought you were some kind of celebrity... Thank goodness!

It's not that Iori has bad eyesight; the resemblance is so striking, especially in the real world, that it's really hard to tell them apart!

"Something's there... Watch out!"

Even in times like these, the magical girl is still most concerned about Iori, this "ordinary person".

——!

Blue arcs of light leaped into the void, transforming the surrounding matter into illusory geometric blocks, which were then separated as if they were hollowed out.

As if some kind of barrier had been broken, a strange woman appeared in the illusory, undulating void.

She wore a specially beautified and modified military uniform with a design style reminiscent of 20th-century Germany, but it was clearly a product of radical alteration. The wide skirt and cinched waist retained feminine characteristics while maintaining a dashing and heroic appearance.

Although it's a military uniform, it inexplicably exudes an air of elegance and nobility. Or rather, it's the wearer who gives off that impression.

His long silver hair almost reached his body, and his delicate yet heroic face carried a confident and detached smile. He looked to be only about sixteen years old, but his expression was one of composure as if he had everything under control.

This is probably what a princess in military uniform looks like.

What caught Iori's attention most were her eyes.

Its crimson eyes contain azure pupils, but the pupils at their core are not ordinary dots, but rather square geometric shapes.

The silver-haired girl in military uniform floated in the air without any external support, looking down at the platform below from a slightly higher position.

Then she extended her hand to Mami, and said with a faint smile, "I've come to greet you, Miss Mami, the Magic Killer."

Are you interested in learning the truth about this world?

"I reject!"

Just like when she saw a normal girl being flirted with, Mami Kaho immediately activated her defensive magic.

“Good children don’t go with strangers of unknown origin. Mami should set an example by telling them why you’re here!”

Could it be... a high-ranking member of the Monster Association?

"I regret to inform you that I have absolutely no connection to that kind of thing. A worldview as gentle as playing house is not for me. The world I have experienced is crueler than you can imagine, Miss Mami."

However, there is only one thing I can confirm—I am not your enemy.

Jasmine, to be precise, I should be your ally.

Don't you find this world strange? No matter how hard you fight, enemies will always appear one after another, and no matter what happens, schools and shopping malls will still stay open as always.

Wherever you go, the proportion of elderly people, children, and women is unusually high, while adult men are rarely seen.

And most importantly——

How many years have you lived? Isn't it strange that 'this year' has been particularly long and so many things have happened?

"..."

After saying a series of inexplicable things, Mami fell into a brief silence. Only then did the princess in military uniform shift her gaze from Mami to Iori.

"……Um?"

Her smile gradually faded, replaced by a cold and suspicious expression.

"Male...this appearance suggests he's a popular supporting character...but Mami shouldn't have a romantic storyline...wait! Such a distinctive character couldn't possibly be completely forgotten!"

Aren't you a character in this world? Why don't I 'know' you?

Iori was taken aback by what she heard, and her expression turned strange:

Why does this woman give off a Deadpool (breaking the fourth wall) vibe? Could it be that she, like me, also knows this is a children's world?

No, judging from her condescending tone... a world traveler?

Thinking of this, Iori suddenly became interested: "From what you're saying, you're definitely not a native of this world... but you don't know me?"

Hmm, I see, I understand a little better now.

You are an 'outsider' to this magical girl world, but I am outside your comprehension, meaning you are still confined to the worldview of the work "Re:Creators".

"Great, it seems I'm an 'outer observer' above you."

"..."

The princess in military uniform seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to, but in any case, her gaze toward Iori was not gentle.

She shook her head: "If you're not in the 'setting' I know, then there must be something wrong somewhere."

But that's alright, my goals and methods remain unchanged.

All I seek is the wisdom of the sage Mami, and to have her become my ally in order to bring about change to the world of the gods.

Mami took a slight pause: "You mean 'the world of gods'? Isn't that Natsuki City?"

"So your knowledge is limited to this one city. Oh, right, you haven't seen it yet, so—"

The princess in military uniform smiled and lowered her head. Suddenly, a military-style longsword appeared in her hand. As she swung it, blue arcs of light flashed continuously, and the surrounding scenery began to undergo strange changes.

"I'll show you what a terrifying world this is, where the gods indulge in unrestrained pleasure!"

"Zheng——!"

In just a moment, the original space vanished like a blue bubble, and a new view filled the field of vision.

"This is……"

Mami opened her eyes wide and stared in a certain direction, muttering to herself.

It was a rather strange rectangular building, neither made of wood nor stone, and at the top of the building was a glowing "mirror" that, through some kind of magic, could display images.

What Mami found hard to understand was that the virtual figures that flashed in the image, although slightly different, were indeed people she knew in real life if she only looked at their clothing style and family crest.

Friends, classmates, relatives... and even herself!

In a fleeting moment, a cute girl with short pink hair and wearing a school uniform appeared on the screen!

Although it's a two-dimensional character, it closely resembles her real self!

"How is this going……"

Mami's eyes widened, and she murmured in disbelief, "Dad, Mom, Pochi...that's me...but...what's going on?"

Well, yet another magical girl has gone from being a children's story to a more realistic one—Iori sighed regretfully.

Chapter 444 Those who like anime/manga characters are in luck.

"That's it. It seems you've already figured it out."

The princess in military uniform smiled and said, "Although the virtual image is very different from the real person, the real person is naturally easy to recognize."

That's right, the person who appeared in that anime PV was you—Ms. Mamika.

"How could such an absurd thing happen? I'm just an elementary school student, and they're actually adapting my likeness into an animation..."
