I'm the Enemy of Magical Girls, but They're Attracted to Me, and It's a Problem - Chapter 01

Rio Sakurai Arc

Chapter 01

April 7

Many high schools have their entrance ceremonies tomorrow, but unfortunately, those will never happen because today, I will conquer Earth.

Most people are probably excited about their new lives.

Today, I’ll see the moment when their excited faces turn to despair.

I have trained hard for this day.

Yes, for this very moment.

“Hey, magical girls. Today, I will conquer Earth.”

Magical girls.

They are said to be granted power by fairies to protect Earth from evil.

There are three magical girls: Pink, Red, and Blue, who fight together.

“As long as we magical girls are here, we won’t let that happen, Deathgone.”

Deathgone

An evil monster that takes pleasure in possessing and tormenting mentally weak humans.

“Don’t lump me in with those guys.”

“Then, are you human?”

“Don’t lump me in with them either. I am neither human nor Deathgone. I am the most perfected and magnificent being.”

And I will conquer this Earth and eventually become its king.

“It doesn’t matter what you are. If you bring harm to this Earth, we will show no mercy.”

Kukuku, as expected of magical girls. It wouldn’t be worth defeating you otherwise.

That’s why I have trained so hard for this moment.

“Come on, magical girls, bring it on.”

With these words, the battle began.

As expected, even against three opponents, I’m holding the advantage.

On the other hand, the magical girls seem clumsy and completely out of sync.

“Is that all you’ve got, magical girls?”

I feel absolutely great.

I have them cornered this much.

“Hey, Rio, stop charging in without thinking.”

The red magical girl scolded one of the others.

“Sorry, Chisa-chan.”

The pink magical girl responded to the red one’s words.

“Both of you, focus on the enemy right now.”

The blue magical girl cautioned them.

“Okay, but things aren’t looking any good. Sumire-chan, do you have any ideas?”

Look, it’s fine to talk during a battle, but calling each other by name is a bad idea.

You should really have special names for when you’re in your magical girl forms.

“Our hearts are not in sync right now. Let’s unite our hearts and use our combined attack.”

Combined attack? What’s with this one-hit-kill kind of move?

The three magical girls gathered in one spot, placed their hands together, and combined their magic into one.

“Take this, Super Smile Splash!”

An incredibly powerful magic attack is coming right at me.

Hey, hey, if I take that head-on, I won’t get away unscathed.

You’ve got to be kidding me; what was all my training for?

After all the hard work, this is the result? That’s just unfair.

Boom.

My first battle ended in defeat.

＊＊＊

Damn, the damage from yesterday is still lingering.

Today’s entrance ceremony shouldn’t have happened if I had defeated those magical girls.

But those magical girls used underhanded tactics.

And who is that, talking on the gym stage non-stop?

What could they possibly have to say to someone like me, who will eventually become king?

Looking around, all I see are clueless, peaceful faces. When I conquer Earth, I’ll make you all work for me.

After the entrance ceremony, the students go to their assigned classrooms.

They check the seating chart posted at the front and sit in their designated seats.

“Congratulations on your enrollment, everyone. I am your homeroom teacher, Anna Suzuki. Let’s have a great year together.”

The female teacher, who looks about 27 or 28, finishes her self-introduction, and the classroom fills with applause.

“Okay, let’s start the introductions with the roll call.”

With these words from the homeroom teacher, the introductions began with the first student by the window.

Each student stood up, introduced themselves, and received applause from their classmates.

The introductions continued, and then it was my turn.

I pulled out my chair, stared straight ahead, and introduced myself.

“It’s Shota Uno.”

As soon as I finished saying my name, I sat back down.

A king doesn’t say much; he is cool, cold, and ruthless.

What a perfect introduction.

“Okay, let’s move on to the next person.”

Everyone seemed so impressed by my introduction that they forgot to clap and just stared at me.

The introductions continued.

Hurry up, my time is precious.

While I was thinking that, a cheerful and loud voice with pink hair echoed through the classroom.

“Nice to meet you all. My name is Rio Sakurai. I hope to get along with everyone in the class. Let’s have a great year together.”

She bowed enthusiastically, ending her introduction.

What a noisy girl.

She looks familiar though.

As I tried to recall where I’d seen her, the introductions kept moving forward.

“Um, I’m Chisa Takamiya. I’m thinking of joining the volleyball club. Nice to meet you all.”

The red-haired girl finished her introduction with a slightly annoyed expression.

Huh? She also looks familiar.

Where have I seen her? When?

“Hello everyone, my name is Sumire Kokonoe. I’m planning to join the drama club. If anyone else is interested in joining, let’s work hard together. Nice to meet you.”

The blue-haired girl finished her introduction politely.

I’ve definitely seen her somewhere before, too.

Rio with the pink hair.

Chisa with the red hair.

Sumire with the blue hair.

Huh?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

You guys are the magical girls.
