The So-Called Magical Girl

What is a Magical Girl?

It’s a young girl’s dream, a princess after a magical transformation.

No, a so-called Magical Girl is simply a girl who uses magical powers after transforming with magic, in short, a transformed hero.

So, whether it’s an ugly woman transforming into a Magical Girl, or a dog transforming into a Magical Girl, that’s all fine.

In other words, it’s not necessary for a girl to become a Magical Girl; heroes have no gender.

That is to say, it’s no problem for a boy to become a Magical Girl.

In his hand, he held a crimson magic wand, with a ribbon decorated with bows around the red magic crystal, and the soft edges and jade-like feel made him love it.

He, Fang Yutian, a boy with five years of Magical Girl experience, took a deep breath.

Holding the magic wand, he danced in place, spinning around once.

A red light covered him, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a Magical Girl wearing a red princess dress.

Above the tall building, the evening wind brushed past the hem of his skirt, feeling chilly, as if it might reveal too much at any moment.

Red pressed down on the hem of his skirt, blushing and muttering to himself, “At least add some safety pants, please.”

“You said that Red, is she some kind of ice-cold young lady?” His buddy’s voice rang in his ear.

Thus, Magical Girl Red, for the first time, felt utterly hopeless, “I’m really sorry, I’m not some young lady, I’m actually a foot-picking tough guy.”

A scream in the distance broke the silence of the night.

“It’s my turn to appear, let me show you what a cool rescue is all about.”

***

It was a monster with two heads, attacking a car. One head was a wolf’s head, and the other was a human head.

Its body was strong and powerful. The hood of the car was smashed flat by it, and its claws tore at the car body, making a sharp, ear-piercing noise, leaving terrifying claw marks on the car.

The car owner stepped on the accelerator in horror, the tires slipping wildly on the ground, but it couldn’t move an inch.

Helpless, she had to get out of the car and run away, ignoring the high heels on her feet, sprinting on the road. The highway was deserted.

But how could a human outrun a monster? She was tackled after only a few steps from the car.

The monster in front of her, half-human, half-wolf, with an ominous red light in its eyes, opened its bloody maw.

“Take this!”

A delicate shout rang out, and Red’s fist struck the werewolf’s body, sending it flying several meters away.

The monster got up and looked over. It was a red figure, whose appearance was exactly that of the legendary Magical Girl Red.

“Are you alright, Madam?”

Red turned around, trying her best to put on a cool and handsome expression as she looked at the car owner, a beautiful woman wearing a professional suit and skirt. Judging by her attire, she was probably a senior manager at a company.

The female manager supported herself on the ground and stood up from the road, swaying.

She adjusted her disheveled hair, trying to make herself look less embarrassed, “I’m alright!”

“You… you’re Magical Girl Red? I’ve heard of you… it really is you!”

She almost couldn’t believe it, her eyes somewhat dazed, as if an idol had suddenly appeared before her.

Red’s aura slightly shocked her, but she quickly regained her senses and wanted to get closer, “I… I didn’t expect to meet you in this kind of situation. You’re really amazing! Right, right, an autograph! An autograph!”

While speaking, she frantically searched through the pockets all over her body for paper and pen.

The female manager excitedly handed over a handkerchief and a pen with both hands.

For a moment, Red didn’t know what to sign. This was the first time she had met a fan.

The sudden enthusiasm made Red a little overwhelmed, and for a moment he couldn’t speak. Could it be that I’m a celebrity?

The monster climbed up from the ground, gnashing its teeth while spitting out blood, ranting, “You bastard, you actually ambushed me! If you have the guts, give me your name and we’ll have a head-on fight!”

“I did say ‘take this,’ right? So wouldn’t that count as not an ambush?” Stroke by stroke, he carefully wrote the character ‘Red’ on the handkerchief, thinking to himself that this was the best he had ever written.

“You monster, you’re not running away? Don’t you realize, this is the legendary city guardian, the bane of evil, the Magical Girl Red in the darkness!” The female manager took the handkerchief, pointed at the monster, and spoke eloquently.

“Do you think I’m a fool? How could that Red be such a small little girl? That’s clearly a monster with eight arms, a burly build, who can smash through eight mountains! This guy is impossible!”

What am I being thought of as? Red muttered to himself in his heart.

At the same time, he stood in front of the female manager,

“Fights with monsters will inevitably affect the surroundings. Madam, please step back a little. Leave the rest to me.”

Taking a deep breath, red psychic power emerged from Red’s body. In this state, her physical abilities were greatly enhanced.

The werewolf saw this and sneered, “Don’t think you can scare me with a flash of light, you imposter!”

The werewolf crawled on the ground on all fours, its wolf head roaring, its body beginning to swell.

The other half of its human head stared ahead, its eyes extremely fierce, and then it charged forward.

Red did the same, charging towards the monster, leaving a sonic boom behind him.

Although the female manager had listened to Red’s instructions and moved away a distance, she was still almost blown over by the blast of air Red created.

Just as the two were approaching each other, red psychic power burst forth from Red’s surroundings and spread, covering his whole body.

The werewolf clearly felt his power.

Its power as a monster was being suppressed, and its body as a human felt stiff for a moment.

On Red’s hand, crimson flashes of light gathered into a halo on his fist and struck towards the werewolf’s body.

In an instant, the light exploded and dust rose.

The air was filled with the smell of burning. Gravel rolled down, and the ground was covered with tiny cracks.

The female manager stood not far away, clutching her handbag tightly, her eyes full of fear and anticipation.

She bit her lip, her body as stiff as a statue.

Who won? The answer to this question was obvious to the female manager.

She had known for a long time that Red couldn’t possibly lose, but she was still extremely nervous.

As the smoke cleared, the werewolf monster turned back into human form, now foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

In the last moment of unconsciousness, the half-human, half-wolf monster only had one thought in his mind:

“It’s over, it’s the real deal!” And standing there unscathed was Red.

“Won, won!” The female manager was as excited and thrilled as a child by Red’s victory, waving her hands and feet, completely disregarding her image and the high heels that were still suffering and struggling to support her.

Those high heels that had been with her since she first entered the workplace, supporting her 120-pound body just to make her look tall and elegant, finally ended their mission and broke.

Crack—

With a soft sound, the thin heel of the high heel snapped, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Covering her injured ankle, the female manager got up from the ground, looking at the broken high heels with some heartache.

At this moment, a butterfly with crimson light landed on her injured ankle, and waves of soft light soothed her pain.

This light was Red’s power.

She looked up to find Red’s figure, but found that she had already disappeared, along with the monster.
