Chapter 71: Rebirth of 4 people

That day, the explanation took a lot of time, so I decided to let them stay overnight. It might not be the best idea to casually let them stay, but considering that we’ll be living together… maybe it’s alright? Well, it’s not really good, but I need to do everything I can.

So, the process of the girls successfully getting their magical attire has been surpassed. Now I’m showing Mel around the house and making requests for the future.

“And I’d like to have a training room set up around here. You can use any room as a laboratory or workspace freely.”

“Oh, that’s great. As a researcher, having that would be quite helpful. Thanks.”

“And about going to Artemis, is that still possible?”

“Well, about that… it seems like the decision hasn’t been made yet. It’s not easy to suddenly have several people with a thousand times the normal magic power… I’m really sorry for suggesting cooperation and not having a definite answer.”

“No, that’s not a problem. It’s expected.”

I really want to go to Artemis right away, but I expected that their world might reject the idea. So, for now, we’ll continue doing what we can in the current situation. In the original “Story,” they eventually go to the other world, but that happens after gaining trust through various battles and experiences here. It’s unlikely to happen all at once.

“I’m sorry, I can prepare the magical equipment right away, but why do we need so many different types of clothes? Even children’s clothes?”

“It’s because we anticipate that the demons will attack civilians in the future. So, by wearing ordinary clothes and intentionally appearing to be left behind, we can surprise the demons and make it difficult for them to attack regular citizens. Moreover, having a wide range of variations will deter the demons from harming civilians.”

“I see, creating a situation where it’s difficult to attack those who appear to be left behind. That makes sense.”

“That’s right. But it’s not the only reason. Dealing with ordinary citizens being taken hostage can be quite troublesome. We also need to consider situations where we might not make it in time.”

“I understand. But what about the children’s clothes? It seems difficult considering the difference in body size.”

“We can create a potion for age regression, but it might take some time.”

“I see. Please try to make it as soon as possible.”

“Understood.”

This fairy is a skilled researcher, and her world is filled with fantasies that don’t exist here. The “Story” also had examples of “Magical Girls” being aged down, so creating such a potion should be possible.

“Alright then, I’ll start working on it. You can relax in your room.”

“No, I’ll help. Whatever you need.”

“Oh, in that case, could you lend me your magic power? Pour it into that device over there.”

“Yes.”

I channeled my magic power into the device near her. To make the most of our time, I began contemplating our future plans while she worked.

[Demon Side]

“It is here, the second monster is complete.”

“Ooh, really? Last time, we couldn’t gather any information at all. This time, we need to know more about the enemy.”

“I understand. This time, I’ve created a high-speed focused monster, the Torpedo Man.”

Inside the black battleship, Michelle unveils her new creation. It appears to be a fearsome creature resembling a half-human, half-fish, crackling with electrical discharges.

“Yay! Zoom zoom!! When I start, I’m the fastest!! Zoom zoom!”

The Torpedo Man races around the battleship at lightning speed, impressing the other demons.

“Ooh, not bad.”

“…I’m not as fast…”

“Well, for now, we’re just gathering information.”

“Gathering information won’t be enough!! I might accidentally defeat someone!! Zoom zoom! When I start, I’m the fastest!!”

The high-speed monster runs through the battleship like a bullet train.

“Well, for now, can you head to the other world?”

“I’ll go right away. When I start, I’m the fastest, after all!”

The monster will arrive in the modern world the next afternoon. No one knows what kind of battle awaits them.

[Moegi PoV]

While he and Mel-chan are discussing something, the rest of us decide to stay overnight and cook dinner together.

“Aoi-chan, can you cook?”

“I can manage some dishes.”

“Alright, let’s all cook together. What should we make?”

Deciding the dinner menu can be quite a task. I know that from my experience with cooking for myself.

“…How about karaage? No particular meaning behind it, though.”

“Sounds good. It’s also Izayoi-kun’s favorite!!”

“Indeed. Let’s go with karaage then.”

Aoi-chan suggests karaage, and that becomes our dinner plan. Maybe she likes karaage?

From now on, we’ll be living together, something I could never have imagined. Talk of another world, invaders, and all these unbelievable things happening in reality—it’s difficult to believe.

I’m not the only one bewildered; the general public is also in quite a frenzy.

The top trends on social media are related to “monsters” and “magical girls appearing.” The top one seems to be something about “Sleep forever (eternal).”

The news keeps reporting on the destructive activities of monsters. We’ll be fighting against such fearsome creatures, but when I think about him being there, it brings some relief. I’m scared, but I’ll do everything I can, and I also believe that he alone will be enough.

I think he’s not just an ordinary person, and that’s a good thing.

“Well then, let’s make karaage.”

“Yeah…”

“Ah, before that, I need to contact my mom and dad…”

Well, I won’t overthink things and just enjoy cooking with them for now.

After dinner, we all took a bath and then settled into the rented room, lining up side by side to sleep. However, he seemed to have various things to do with Mel-chan, so he wasn’t going to sleep just yet.

On the futon, we all faced each other and started talking.

“Aoi-chan, if you’re interested, you should join the ‘Women Enhancement Committee.'”

“What’s that?”

“It’s a gathering with the purpose of improving our feminine power! We do things like shopping, expanding our conversation repertoire, and it’s fun!”

“Is it okay for me to join?”

“Of course! Then, before we sleep, let’s give it a try! Write down your answers to the given prompts on this board.”

“Is it like a joke or something?”

“It can be that too!”

I handed the board to Aoi-chan and gave her the prompt. Kohaku-chan and Karen-chan were all ready.

“Okay, let’s start with this photo.”

Using a smartphone app, a random photo was displayed. When a photo of a truck appeared, Karen-chan immediately raised her hand.

“Interdimensional Transfer Device.”

“?? I don’t really get it, but… it’s cute, so I’ll give it a hundred points.”

“Eh? Isn’t that a bit too lenient? And you said you didn’t really get it…”

“It’s fine. Cute is justice!”

“Ahh, your criteria are all over the place…”

It seemed like Aoi-chan was not yet used to this committee. Maybe it’s better to get accustomed to it than to overthink it?

“What do you do when you smell another woman’s scent on your boyfriend?”

“Yes.”

“Kohaku-chan?”

“I have a thorough discussion about our future together, instead of kidnapping… I mean, by facing it properly.”

Her board was slightly black and crumpled at the top, making some parts unreadable, but it was written neatly, saying they would have a proper discussion about their future.

“For the second part, well done, but the first part is a bit scary… Let’s say… ninety points. Cute, but a bit scary…”

“Wait, wait, wait, that’s not okay. You talked about kidnapping, and ‘facing it properly’ means prying open their eyelids until they confess everything, right? And why am I the one doing the tsukkomi (straight man role)? Also, your judgment criteria are way too lenient!”

“Nice job!”

“Even if you say that…”

As I suspected, Aoi-chan is quite amusing. The circle of new adorable girls expanded.

The first meeting of the newly formed “Women Enhancement Committee” was quite lively.
