chapter 1
Episode 1: An Offer You Can’t Refuse.
Was hiding behind the twilight, and the mighty darkness was growing in power.
As if it was now a time of stronger darkness, the sky was setting up a black curtain like a human being.
Perhaps because the black curtain had covered the earth’s sky for a very long time, it was so worn out that there were holes here and there, and beautiful pure white light that resisted the darkness was still leaking through the curtain.
If you turn your head a little further, there is a hole that is overwhelmingly larger than the other holes.
Light was leaking through that large hole, but it was not enough to dispel the strong darkness.
I looked at the big hole in silence, then looked away.
It was summer, but the cold wind brushed past my ears.
Maybe because it was night, people fled to their homes like the sun.
Well, it’s the time of morning and afternoon light and magical girls.
Night is the time of darkness and villains.
At the same time, night is also the time for people like me who have a lot to hide.
I saw advertisements for magical girls on the side of the road.
Somewhere awkward, but familiar at the same time.
It was a scene I hadn’t seen in real life, but it was a scene I had seen many times in the flat reality of a mobile phone.
‘Magical Girl Shine’.
One of the most common magical girl stories.
..Well, it’s a bit different from other magical girl stories, but… Skip that.
I looked up again and looked at the magical girl ad.
…f*ck. Still can’t adapt
A military-pencil magical girl. Who came up with such a terrible and awesome idea?
Yes, there are all sorts of magical girls, and in the latter half of the year, the number reaches hundreds.
I fell into that world a week ago.
To be honest, I was a little excited at first.
It’s a bit embarrassing, but I was a fan of ‘Magical Girl Shine’, so I read all kinds of fanfiction.
Among them, there was a fanfiction novel about the story of a male lead who fell into the world of magical girl Shine.
Well, like most stories of this kind, a god or some transcendental being who sent the male lead to a place like this gives the male lead the ability, the male lead shoots a mad movie with that ability, and the magical girls fall for the main character. Harem ending.
But what about this?
Isn’t there such a thing?
Life is real life, f*ck it.
Of course, I was not given any abilities.
It’s a mistake and it’s dropped into a worldview that can be torn apart by villains and doesn’t give you any abilities.
I strongly sympathize with Friedrich Nietzsche this time.
..A little excited.
“… Ha.”
I stopped for a moment and looked up at the sky.
A star suddenly rose and gave me a small but beautiful gift of light.
It’s damn pretty. sh*t.
..So. Let’s continue talking. The result of doing all kinds of things for a week, gathering information and thinking.
I have come to a conclusion.
If I continue like this, I will die.
I encountered 6 villains in a week and barely survived.
…Ah. There are 7 of us including the job on the subway.
‘Magical Girl Shine’ is a work that boasts a fairly gloomy worldview and development for a magical girl, so Korea becomes more dangerous as the latter half progresses.
Throw away everything else. Even to survive. I have to take the risk.
This is the reason why I am now crossing the street where the night has taken root.
Because you can only go in and out at night.
As I stepped on the sidewalk block as dark as the night sky, I stopped at an alleyway.
“…”
The back of the alley was strangely dark.
No matter how late it is at night, there must be a light leaking from a small shop or a street lamp that illuminates the way for weary people walking in the dark.
There was no light in the alley, only darkness.
And seeing this phenomenon… Means you’ve come to the right place.
I quietly went into the alley.
Jerbug. That buck
The dark alleyway without even light brought instinctive anxiety and fear, but somehow I endured it and moved on.
Dubuck. Tboob.
Only the sound of footsteps echoes in the empty alleyway.
But strangely, the more I walked, the more I walked.
Dubuk…Dubuk…
The sound of footsteps becomes quieter.
I stopped for a moment and looked down at my feet.
..It’s amazing.
I expected it because I saw it as a cartoon, but this magical thing was still strange to me, who lived in the scientific 21st century.
I calmly looked down at my feet and then took them off again.
Now I can’t even hear footsteps.
As I was walking like that, I suddenly looked around.
For some time, there was a small shop there.
“..Everything..”
I found it correctly.
I slowly approached the door.
The sign reading “Open” Was still hanging on the doorknob and slowly swaying.
“…Whoops.”
I took a deep breath, made up my mind again, and reached out my hand.
I grabbed the sign with
Open and turned it over.
Two times to the right.
Three times to the left.
Take 2 turns to the right again.
I turn the sign and slowly. I raised my head very slowly.
“..Everything for Villains.”
The name of the store had changed before I knew it.
I immediately opened the door and went inside the store.
With my daughter.
The door opened and a pleasant bell sounded as if to welcome me.
“…With.”
I expected it this time too, but it’s still amazing.
In the store, dozens of crows were flying and arranging things.
The little crows were carrying papers flapping their wings as hard as they could.
Crows of some size were flying around holding on to metal objects that seemed to weigh quite a bit with their sharp claws.
And the more the crows flapped their wings, the acrid smell of cigarettes filled the store.
…The smell of cigarettes is terrible.
I went inside the store, covering my nose.
The crows looked at me with black, unfocused pupils and flew into the store.
It’s probably going to the owner.
I gulped and quenched my thirsty throat.
As we went further into the store, the cigarette smoke grew thicker and the light gradually dwindled.
And.
“..Oops. How did an ordinary person get into my store?”
I heard a high, thin, beautiful voice.
“..No way. Was it from a government agency?”
However, a coolness began to drift from her beautiful voice.
My feet froze from the chill.
“There is something to see in this store of all things… How did you come here?”
“…Not from any government agency.”
I pounded my stiff leg with my fist and stepped back.
“Then?”
“I have a suggestion.”
I kept going inside.
The owner of the voice has appeared.
A black hat reminiscent of a witch somewhere.
A black dress that is embarrassing to look at.
It was a dress that showed off my big breasts, so I tried to fix my eyes on her face somehow.
If I look wrong here, I die.
Black hair and dark purple eyes like black.
I was naturally nervous at the appearance reminiscent of a witch, but at the same time I was happy.
This is really the world of magical girl Shine that I know.
“What’s your offer? I’ll listen and decide.”
“…”
My current situation may seem strange.
If you want to survive, why did you come in front of the villain?
..There are three ways to survive in the Magical Girl Shine worldview.
First, probably the way many people who have fallen into this world like me want and prefer.
Forge friendships with magical girls, fight against upcoming threats, and be protected by magical girls.
Second, I build up a friendship with the villain, leave the coming threat to the magical girls, and I am safely protected by the villain.
If I had to choose, I would choose the second one.
To put it simply, a magical girl is a hero.
A hero carries many things on his back.
A sense of mission to save the world.
A sense of duty to save people.
Responsibility for the power you have.
A hero is carrying all these heavy things on his back. Is a magical girl
Magical girls are generally chosen only by those with a strong sense of responsibility.
But there are many things on the back.
The moment when they have to give up precious things always comes to them.
For some magical girls, family.
A friend to some magical girls.
Some magical girls are lovers.
In the original work, there were many scenes where many magical girls lost their precious people and stood up again.
This is the reason why I avoid the first method.
For magical girls, even if my existence becomes precious to them. If the world becomes dangerous, I will give up on myself.
But the villain is different.
They don’t care too much about the safety of the world.
Because they care more about their own precious things than the world.
Yes. To express…
Magical girls will turn away from me for the sake of the world.
The villains will turn away from the world for me.
But I don’t prefer the second method either.
After all, if the world collapses, everyone dies.
So I chose the third method.
The third method.
Unify the villains and join forces with magical girls to prevent danger.
Yes.
I will make a family.
I will be the boss of the villains.
“…Mr. Crow.”
“..Um? You know me?”
Crow said, looking at me in surprise.
“..I know very well.”
I tried to smile and said.
Now it’s time to borrow some knowledge from my world.
“I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse.”
