Since my Useless Working Sister and Other Troublemakers Became Magical Girls, I have no Choice but to Support Them. - Chapter 1-50: DX Metal Rex
Chapter 1-50: DX Metal Rex
Screams were heard all around.
“A monster has appeared. Run away. That woman created the monster.”
Yes. I created it. To become a magical girl.
“Come. Hurry. Magical girl, come.”
In the midst of the chaos, Tiara looked around with an expectant voice, searching for the magical girl.
“Calm down! Please evacuate calmly!”
It was the voice of a store clerk. They were shouting desperately to guide the panicked customers.
Suddenly, Tiara met the clerk’s eyes. At that moment, the clerk showed an expression of hatred towards Tiara, directing their anger at her for the monster appearing in their store.
Why are they angry?
I’m about to become a magical girl. They should be grateful to the magical girl who will defeat the monster.
“Fiaaaaa!”
A monster’s voice came from behind. Turning around, a rampaging robotic Tyrannosaurus was there. Swinging its long tail, it knocked down and crushed the same display shelves it had emerged from. Then, it body-slammed the shelves, knocking them over.
“Fiaaaa!”
The roar came again, and something emerged from the robot’s back. It looked like a black cylinder. Tiara instinctively realized it was a cannon. She didn’t know its exact name, but she was right that it would fire bullets from there.
A thunderous noise followed. Red glowing bullets were fired one after another from the cylinder, destroying the ceiling and surrounding shelves. The man who had been accusing Tiara screamed and ran away.
Amazing. With this, the magical girls will come soon. When they arrive, I’ll ask them right away. Please make me a magical girl too.
“Fiaaaaa!”
“Huh…?”
The monster recognized Tiara and swung its tail towards her.
Why? Monsters aren’t supposed to attack their creators, right?
Kiera never said that. Tiara just assumed it on her own.
In the next moment, the tail struck Tiara’s chest directly, breaking many ribs as her body was sent flying through the toy section and slammed into the wall. All her limbs were broken. She tried to scream in pain but couldn’t. Instead, dark blood welled up and spilled from her mouth, staining the floor.
Watching the monster continue its rampage, Tiara lost consciousness.

“Geez, did you really think it suited me, Yuuma?”
“I did, I did. You looked really cute.”
“Okay, then I’ll wear this on our next date!”
“There’s going to be a next time?”
“Of course! I’ll make sure there is!”
“I see. Got it.”
Haruka was in a good mood because I honestly complimented her at the clothing store earlier.
She had bought the clothes she tried on, and I was carrying the shopping bags since she had to push her wheelchair. It couldn’t be helped.
“Okay, it’s your turn next, Yuuma!”
“Am I really going to buy something too?”
“Of course! I’m going to make you look cool…”
Haruka seemed to notice the commotion around us.
A shopping center on a holiday is noisy, but this was different. There were screams, shouts, and the sound of people running away. And a sound like gunfire. A heavy, resonating sound that continued.
“This way.”
“Whoa!?”
I understood that a Fire-Eater had appeared. I didn’t know what kind of enemy it was, but if the gunfire sound was its ability, approaching carelessly would be dangerous. So, I decided to hide and observe for a while, pushing the wheelchair behind cover.
Even if we transform, we need to wait until other evacuees are gone and there are no people around. We also need to be mindful of surveillance cameras. I prepared to cover my face with a towel from my bag. And contact my sister and the others.
“Yuuma!”
“Huh? Sis?”
“Yes, it’s your big sister!”
Aina came over even before I contacted her. Tsumugi and Rafio were with her.
“The world’s most reliable big sister has come to defeat the enemy!”
“I’m glad, but why are you here?”
“Because I’m your big sister! I want to show that I’m more reliable than this girl!”
“That’s not an answer.”
“Aina has been watching your date the whole time to make sure you don’t cross any lines.”
“Hey!? What are you saying, Rafio!?”
“Is that true, Sis? And what do you mean by crossing lines!? What did you think we were going to do!?”
“Don’t say that! I thought you might hold hands or something!”
“I’ll hold hands with him as much as I want! Anytime!”
“Hey, Rafio! I want to hold hands too!”
“You’re holding my entire body, not just my hand!”
“Fiaaaaa!”
“Hey! Transform and fight!”
Despite the situation, I scolded the magical girls and fairies who were quarreling cheerfully.
Meanwhile, the Fire-Eater’s roar was getting closer. The gunfire-like sound was too.
It became clear it wasn’t exactly gunfire when I saw the enemy. It was a cannon growing out of the back of a robotic Tyrannosaurus.
A Fire-Eater created from a Metal Rex RC toy. The weapon they emphasized in the commercial, capable of shooting sponge bullets, had turned into a deadly weapon as a Fire-Eater.
“Fiaaaaa!”
The cannon fired, creating a huge hole in the store’s ceiling.
There were no more screams. It seemed all the customers had evacuated.
“Alright, everyone, transform!”
“Why are you giving orders, Sis?”
“Rafio, turn into a big fluffy creature!”
“If you want that, let go of me first!”
“These guys…”
I wrapped a towel around my face, letting out an exasperated sigh at everyone being so carefree.
