Since my Useless Working Sister and Other Troublemakers Became Magical Girls, I have no Choice but to Support Them. - Chapter 1-38: Enthusiastic Furry Enthusiast

Chapter 1-38: Enthusiastic Furry Enthusiast

Speeding down the road with fierce momentum, Rafio’s pace kept Hunter’s spirits high.

“Do you know where it landed?”

“I have no idea! I only know the general direction! Besides, I think Liner and Saber are already heading there!”

That’s true. Those two probably noticed the Fear-Eater falling as well.

They might already be taking care of the wounded Fear-Eater, exposing and destroying its core.

If they haven’t managed to do that yet, there’s a reason.

“Get back! It’s dangerous! That thing isn’t dead yet!”

A crowd had gathered. Saber and Liner, who seemed to have arrived, were calling out from the outskirts of the crowd, but the people showed no signs of moving.

Those surrounding the Fear-Eater were probably those who had come to see the monster commotion and swarmed when it fell.

Whether they were curious onlookers or reporters driven by duty, they all turned their cameras toward the magical girls when they noticed them. Some even asked to hear their story.

“Wow! Wait, don’t take pictures… Actually, I guess it’s fine. I’m Magical Girl Shiny Saber, and this is Liner.”

“Saber! Now isn’t the time for this!”

“Fiyaaaa!”

The Fear-Eater, which had been lying down, seemed to have healed its wounds somewhat and started thrashing wildly. Its claws and beak flailed towards the curious onlookers who had gotten too close.

There were screams of agony and many more cries of surprise.

And then, everyone started running away, scattering in all directions. Some dropped their phones and fled without picking them up.

It’s unfortunate that they couldn’t realize the danger until they got hurt.

A few people didn’t run away. 

I thought they might be incredibly brave journalists, but they weren’t holding any cameras.

They were probably enthusiastic fans who desperately wanted to see the magical girls with their own eyes.

“Rafio, get on the wall. Hunter can’t aim with all these people in the way.”

“Got it. Hunter, cripple it in one shot!”

“Okay! I’ll do anything for Rafio!”

“That’s the part I don’t need…”

“Take this!”

Before Rafio landed on the wall, Hunter had already aimed and shot an arrow mid-jump.

Holding on tightly with both legs around Rafio’s torso to avoid falling, I also held onto Hunter’s clothes to keep from being shaken off, but it might not have been necessary.

Even from Rafio’s moving back, the arrow accurately pierced the Fia-Eater’s throat.

Its wings were probably not fully healed yet. Unable to fly, the Fia-Eater collapsed as if it were dead. Well, piercing the throat would kill it.

“Yay! Fluffy!”

“Hey, wait!”

Hunter jumped off Rafio and hugged the immobilized Fia-Eater.

“Ahaha! Amazing! Fluffy! Fluffy! Ahahahaha!”

“Hey Yuuma, that girl isn’t sane.”

“Don’t be rude. She just really likes fluffiness.”

“But still! Who does that to a monster?! Even knowing it’s not dead yet!”

“Hey Rafio! Come over here! Let’s cuddle together!”

“No way!”

“Um, is that Tsumugi?”

“Saber. Cut open the Fear-Eater’s body and find the core.”

“Okay… Got it.”

Avoiding Hunter who was hugging the Fear-Eater, Saber sliced into its unmoving body.

Based on past experience, we expected the core to be somewhere in its torso. The black, glistening core emerged from its belly.

“Take this!”

A sword imbued with sunlight pierced the core. Since we were outside during the day, the sword could continuously charge with light.

While still being hugged by Hunter, the giant crow disintegrated into black particles, leaving behind a small crow, which seemed to be its original form.

“Is this crow dead?”

Hunter cradled the dead crow to her chest.

“Yes. This was made from a dead crow.”

“I see. Poor thing…”

“Let’s go. The press will be back soon.”

“What about these people?”

Saber looked down at a few people lying on the street.

Were they dead? Some might still be alive.

“When people come back, they’ll call an ambulance. We need to avoid being questioned.”

“I see. It can’t be helped.”

“The people in this world were more foolish than I thought. That was a miscalculation. In anime, magical girls are usually cheered on when recognized by the public.”

“I think there are more magical girls whose existence remains unknown.”

“Excuse me!”

Someone called out to us. People had already started coming back… or rather, it was one of the few who had stayed back to watch the fight from a safe distance.

It was a familiar face. The girl I had saved that day. She had been interviewed on TV several times with a lot of enthusiasm.

“Excuse me! I want to become a magical girl too! Please tell me how!”

“Uh…”

“Ah, sorry. My name is Tiara Hino! If it’s not possible to tell me here, please give me your contact information! Please!”

Tiara. That’s what she called herself. I wonder what kanji are used for her name. Maybe it’s written in hiragana like Tsumugi’s name.

T/N: Btw, here’s her name in japanese 日野ティアラ, with Tsumugi being 御共つむぎ, And no, Her first name, here being the ティアラ, is actually written in katakana is usually used when writing something usually from english vocab, like ice cream being written in アイスクリーム read as aisu kurimu, which just makes it easier for japanese readers to understand what is meant without using english alphabet.
