Post-Battle Remediation

Chapter 2 • 1,284 words • 11 min read

A crimson butterfly landed on the female manager’s car, repairing the damage.

The butterfly transformed into a new high heel, almost identical to the original.

“Where’d she go? I wanted to chat a bit more.”

Red was completely different from the Magical Girls in other cities.

After completing her battle and rescue, she never lingered for even a second.

Some said she didn’t crave fame, that she was a truly selfless hero, while others claimed she was just too ugly to reveal her face.

The good and bad arguments continued, but she never clarified anything herself.

The female manager didn’t understand.

After five years and so many accomplishments, why was she content to be an unsung Magical Girl?

If it were her, she would have, like other Magical Girls, endorsed products, licensed game rights, released everything she could to make a fortune.

Not to mention dealing with haters behind the scenes.

But now, all the debate would end.

The female manager laughed, looking at her car and smiling.

“The car’s dashcam isn’t broken. It should have recorded the scene. Solid proof. Let’s see who dares call Red ugly.”

The female manager got back into her car, excitedly opening the dashcam video.

However, the image displayed on the screen stunned her.

In the video, the werewolf monster was clearly visible, but Red’s figure seemed to be shrouded in mist, impossible to make out no matter how she looked.

“What… how can this be?” She frowned, carefully checking the equipment, confirming that the dashcam wasn’t damaged, but the image was still blurry.

Just as she dragged the video to the last second, she suddenly noticed a strange shadow flash across the screen.

The shadow didn’t look like Red, nor did it look like the werewolf, but rather like…

She quickly rewound and zoomed in, a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

“Something’s not right. This recording… it’s useless.”

***

Red carried the man through the air, leaping across the city’s high-rise buildings.

The battles were always simple and quick, but the aftermath was hard to describe.

The monster had been transformed by someone, gaining monstrous powers and becoming a monster.

She had to send this monster to the Holy Church, to be managed and taught by the nuns there.

This escort process wasn’t originally part of her job, but because the city’s Holy Church had too many monsters under its control and not enough manpower, she was temporarily taking over this part of the job.

Once reinforcements from other cities arrived, the work would naturally become easier.

“This guy’s a handful today too.” Setting the man down, Red politely greeted the nuns on duty.

A blonde nun to the side held a scanner, waving it over the man.

On another device in her hand, she displayed the man’s monster form, as well as some identification information.

After doing this, the blonde nun formally replied, “It’s okay. This should have been our job. We’re a little embarrassed that you’re taking it over.”

“Speaking of which, this guy was originally a robber, right? Should we contact the police? Utur?”

Another nun leaned towards the blonde nun named Utur, looking thoughtfully at the monster’s information on the tablet.

In fact, many monsters were already criminals before becoming monsters.

After gaining monstrous powers, they would intensify their criminal activities.

Gangs, drugs, countless monsters lurking in every corner of this city.

This was the true face of the city that Red had learned about in her five years as a Magical Girl.

“No need. According to the records, he should be a newly born monster.

There are already a lot of troublesome monsters in the public security prisons.

If we let them gather together again, who knows what the whole city will become when it really explodes.

Let’s keep him in custody first,”

Utur said with unquestionable authority.

Upon hearing this, the young nun next to her didn’t look too happy, muttering in a low voice:

“It’s us again… The number of monsters is already a headache. Now there’s one more to teach.

The daytime class schedule has to be rearranged, and we have to apply for additional budget.

Even though the Light World gives us a lot of funding, we can’t spend it without limit… It would be better to throw this thing to public security.”

“A robber, huh?”

But at that time, it clearly opened its bloody mouth to her, as if it wanted to eat people.

Red recalled the monster’s actions just now, which were far from as simple as robbery.

What did it mean to become a monster? Red’s expression gradually became solemn.

“Hey, Red, say something,” the nun said, looking at Red. After all, among those present, her status was relatively the highest.

Although they were all chosen by the Light World to fight against monsters and other disasters, their Holy Church was, after all, an organization that existed to support Magical Girls.

Magical Girls were responsible for the front-line battles, while they provided aftercare, support, and monster handling.

“Um, I also think it would be better to hand it over to the police. After all, the police even deal with this kind of thing,” Red tried to offer an opinion following the nun’s idea, but she didn’t think it would be adopted.

After all, an organization’s decision usually wouldn’t be easily changed.

Hearing Red’s words, Utur was suddenly stunned. She subconsciously wanted to retort, but stopped the words at the tip of her tongue.

Seeing Utur’s gradually gloomy face, Red felt a sense of foreboding and quickly said: “If you don’t think it’s okay, just pretend I didn’t say anything…”

‘Listen to me? That’s not good, you’re the boss here,’ Red muttered in her mind.

“No, then let’s listen to you. Just hand him over to public security.

According to the data, he’s not dangerous to the point where they can’t handle him,” Utur quickly explained.

“Well, that’s fine. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

With that, Red turned around and left the Holy Church, and could still hear cheers behind her.

After patrolling around Tianshui City and finding nothing unusual, he dispelled his transformation in an alley near his home and returned home.

After being freed from the identity of Red, Fang Yutian felt a sense of relief, especially after changing his skirt back into pants, he felt much more at ease.

After returning home, he took a shower. Looking at his body in the bathroom, which had no muscles at all, and his flat, fair skin, he didn’t look like a teenager at all, let alone having abs.

He didn’t even have a shadow of them. The thing he criticized the most was his butt.

Originally, as a high school student, he lived at school, but when he was showering in the dormitory, he accidentally discovered that he was being peeped at by his roommate.

Peeping was one thing, but they even discussed with other roommates, “Fang Yutian’s butt is so perky, even better-looking than the class monitor.”

The dormitory’s bathroom was an integrated bathroom, and the soundproofing of the door wasn’t very good, so he could naturally hear their discussions, so he naturally came out after showering and began to question them about this.

As a result, everyone didn’t even react. Why didn’t they say it to his face if they were so interested?

Since then, he moved to a rented house near the school.

His Magical Girl expenses still allowed him to keep about 20,000 a month, which was more than enough for a student’s expenses.

After taking a shower, he reviewed the lessons for tomorrow, and it was already 11:00 p.m. Seeing the time, he went straight to bed.
