Chapter 1: The End Of Magical Girls

“Haha, hahahahahahaha!! I succeeded, I succeeded!”

When I opened my eyes, there was a crazy person.

I don’t know what he succeeded in, but judging by the cheerful laughter he was letting out, he must have succeeded in something pretty amazing.

But somehow he looks a little familiar…!

Was there such a crazy person among my acquaintances?

To begin with, I didn’t have many acquaintances, so if it was someone new, I wouldn’t have thought too deeply about it.

“A masterpiece created from the despair of magical girls-yes, a monster girl! I’d like a monster girl!”

“Ah.”

I think I understand.

The sense of incongruity felt as 2D became 3D-no, reality-was considerable, but if what I’m thinking is right…

“Now, my masterpiece, monster girl! Sweep away all the magical girls! Ahahahahahahaha!!!”

Why aren’t you moving?

Did the adjustment fail?”

I thought he was a crazy person, but he really was crazy.

At first, I thought it was a normal magical girl story, but suddenly, the atmosphere completely changed with the news of the death of a magical girl – the monster side doctor who created the fatal toxic nickname of ‘Magical Girl Apocalypse!

That was the identity of the person in front of me.

“I thought it would have some cognitive ability since it was made with the soul of a magical girl…

But now that it’s like this, do I have no choice but to use commands to control it?”

“…”

Using all sorts of means, they kidnapped magical girls, imprisoned them, and even tortured them to extract their despair energy.

The being born by concentrating the despair energy that was refined in that way was Apocalypse, the end of magical girls….

And that end came right away.

“Move, monster girl. Move to the control room!”

I sighed inwardly at the doctor’s irritated shout.

In the story, Apocalypse was a monster group – they mainly killed magical girls under the doctor’s orders and extracted their despair energy.

A normal human would have rebelled or expressed his refusal, but Apocalypse followed the doctor’s orders like a machine.

Following orders.

And following orders.

Since that phrase included compulsion, there was a prediction that he would come to his senses and become an ally someday.

“You don’t want to?”

“What…”

At the very end, one truth was revealed.

The magical girls thought that if the doctor died, the person with the authority would disappear and stop moving, so they tried their best to kill the doctor, but Apocalypse did not stop moving.

The reason for this was, yes.

‘The doctor’s compulsory orders or whatever didn’t work from the beginning!

The reason Apocalypse listened to the doctor was because if he did as the doctor said, he could easily obtain the magical girls’ despair energy.

He had to eat to gain strength, and Apocalypse’s meals were the magical girls’ despair.

“I, listen to my orders! These are orders!”

“I’ll listen to anything except the order to kill magical girls.”

“…Tch.”

I looked at the doctor biting his lips as if he was angry for a moment before turning my head.

What kind of experiment was this in such a dark place?

It seemed like they were doing some kind of human experiment, but the lighting was so bright that I wondered if they could have done a proper experiment.

Even though villains like dark places, they should turn on some lights.

Click

“Ghhhhh…!! Rain, light… light…! It’s blinding meeeeeee…!!”

“Ah.”

Now that I think about it, was it set up that he was weak to light?

Why would he react like that even though it was only as bright as a fluorescent light?

I looked at the doctor rolling around just because the light was on, as if it was amazing.

Is that smoke coming out of his body?

It was my first time seeing smoke coming out of a human body, so I watched for a moment, but then I frowned again at the smell of burning flesh and turned the switch off.

“Kuha, huff… huff…”

“If he’s so weak to light, why did they make a fluorescent light switch?”

“…”

Isn’t this guy an idiot?

If you knew how passionate the magical girls were about killing the doctor in the original work, this reaction would have been quite disappointing.

All you had to do was break into the lab and flip a switch, and he’d be incapacitated.

“By the way, if the Doctor is like this, then there is no one who can stop me, right?

The Doctor, who was lying down quietly, giving off a burning smell.

I glanced at the Doctor, and when I realized that he was not moving at all, I slowly started walking.

It didn’t seem like the Doctor would be able to stop me in the first place, but rather than forcibly shaking off the blocking, I thought it would be better to quietly leave like this.

“I’ll be back, Doctor.”

I don’t know if I’ll really come back.

It was a bit far, but I somehow managed to get to a busy area where people lived.

There were incidents like breaking walls and getting lost here and there, but…

“Mom, Mom! That girl is wearing weird clothes!”

“Shh, don’t look like that! Jiji, Jiji!”

I should have stolen the doctor’s gown and come here.

It was definitely a bit weird to wear such weird clothes in a crowded place.

The pure white patient gown had holes in it.

If I had money, I would have changed clothes, but I was in a hurry to leave.

I’ll just take a quick look around for now and go back and get some money.

It was made by the doctor, but it wasn’t made at the time of Apocalypse’s appearance.

Apocalypse will appear in the distant future—no, not that distant future?

Anyway.

Gulp.

Though she’s a monster girl, she’s still hungry.

She let out a deep sigh at the rumbling sound in her stomach.

If you were going to wake her up, you should’ve filled her stomach before waking her up, Doctor.

Well, if she were someone who could think properly, she wouldn’t have made a switch to turn on the lights in her lab.

Wheeeeeeeeing—!!!!

[Information to citizens. A monster has currently appeared in the city.

I’ll inform you once again. A monster has currently appeared in the city.

We ask that you stay indoors if possible, and if you happen to spot the monster, please report it to the support team—]

“Monster?”

The moment she was lost in thought, a siren rang.

As she looked around with the alarm indicating a monster had appeared, almost all of the people who had been filling the streets a moment ago had disappeared.

While she was thinking about something else, everyone had gone somewhere.

Well, since this world where monsters appear every day, maybe that’s to be expected.

“Students over there! Move to the shelter! Quickly!”

“Oh, yes.”

I slowly walked towards the person who looked like a police officer who was shouting at me while I was standing blankly on the street.

I need to know where the shelter is so I can go or not.

“There is a way to find out.

My body, the staple food of the Apocalypse, was none other than human despair.

Since my fuel efficiency was very poor, the only thing that could properly fill my stomach was the despair of a magical girl, but as a monster, I could at least smell the scent of despair.

“Now, where is the shelter…”

Oh, over there.

As I walked along the small ripples of despair, a single, sturdily constructed building came into view.

A structure that looked like a guardhouse and a large bunker-like building behind it.

The barricades and barbed wire around it seemed to be telling me, ‘This is the shelter.’

By the way, would I be able to get in here?

… After all, my name is Monster Girl.

“Don’t just sit there blankly, come in, come in!”

“Whoa…”

The soldier inside the shelter must have seen me blankly outside through the CCTV installed outside the building.

He opened the door and jumped out, grabbed my arm, and pulled me straight into the shelter.

‘It’s cleaner than I thought.

“Why on earth are you blankly standing in front of the shelter? Are you a suicidal person?!”

“Nothing in particular.”

The opponent started getting angry as soon as I entered the shelter.

There was no way a monster would attack me, but I guess there’s nothing I can do since I look like a human.

“Then what? Don’t we train at school?

When a monster alert is issued, we evacuate to a nearby shelter right away!”

“I’ve never done it, training.”

“You’ve never trained?”

Oh, did I answer too bluntly?

I turned my gaze to the opponent who was starting to look at me with suspicious eyes.

This time, it really felt like I was being suspected.

After all, I was wearing strange clothes.

“I don’t go to school.”

“Do your parents know?”

“Your parents, um…”

Should I call the doctor my parents?

Well, since he did create Apocalypse, I guess you could say he was my parents, but I don’t think so…

“He’s collapsed. He’s unconscious.”

“…”

This time, I just told him the truth.

Saying that my parents collapsed and were unconscious didn’t sound right.

I realized it after saying it, but words that have already been said can’t be taken back.

Well, maybe it would be better to think of it that way and feel sorry for him.

“Go inside for now. I’m sorry I was too harsh.”

“No. It’s my fault for not coming to the shelter right away.”

I smiled faintly at the person who had the expression of someone who had said Talullah.

Fortunately, he didn’t point out her appearance.

She looked like she could easily be arrested.
