Reincarnated as the Narrow-Eyed Character in a Magical Girl Battle Story

Turning head.

A tingling sensation on the cheek.

Yuki tilted her head to one side, then slowly turned to look at Lee Hua again. Lee Hua had an expression of regret.

“Wake up, Yuki.”

“……..”

“Reality isn’t a game or a joke. You know that better than anyone!”

“……But…”

“No matter how many times you can come back to life, if you choose death so easily…!!”

“……”

“Do you not understand the feelings of those watching?”

“There’s no other way.”

If I die, it solves everything.

There’s no risk involved in death.

Then…

A voice cuts through Yuki’s cruel and self-deprecating thoughts.

“Yuki.”

A voice she had heard long ago.

Natasha’s navy ship sailing into the cold sea.

Lee Hua from ‘those days’, scolding Yuki, who was hugging her knees against the winter wind.

A chilling anger.

Lee Hua, who was kind in ‘this world’, was spewing the same frosty rage as back then.

“Ah… What am I… saying.”

In the world created by Hikari, the lives of magical girls were precious. That’s why they had been able to make it this far together.

What she had just said was the method from the ‘desolate world’ that wasted the lives of magical girls.

Yuki began to gradually regain her sense of reality from Lee Hua’s calm voice.

-Yuki.

Lee Hua’s voice was similar to that time. But within it, there was not cynicism, but worry.

Lee Hua asked Yuki, who was wandering in a dream, about ‘now’.

“Where are you now, Yuki?”

“In front of the Trial Monster…”

“Who are you with?”

“With my comrades.”

“What are Yuki’s most precious people doing?”

Dad is in the nearby shelter.
Hikari is fighting against [Plague].

“Do they want Yuki to die?”

“Ah, no…”

“Does Yuki want to die right now?”

“……..”

She wanted to live with them.
She loved them.

‘I… love them.’

Thunk

As she thought of that, the colors of this world began to return.

Colors were being vividly drawn over a monochrome photograph.
Precious emotions.

Her little room in the old house.
The blanket that smelled like her mom.
The bunny pajamas she wore for a long time.
The smell of dirt from her dad’s rough hands.
The clumsily made soybean paste soup and undercooked rice.
The girl who held her hand by the lake.
The warm smell of grass and forest paths in Elysion.
Memories of walking through the square in matching clothes.

A gentle world.

Yuki’s time had not vanished.

It continued to endlessly arise and flow.

This place was a world for Yuki.

‘I am alive.’

For some reason, it felt like a long dream had finally ended. From the Throne of Nihility to Tokyo Station, from the moment she woke up and returned to the past until now, a dream had followed her.

Returning sense of reality.
The ringing in her ears fading away.

A clear radio voice ringing in her ears.

[Response team!! Haven’t we hit the monster’s heart yet? The Sea Serpent is slowly starting to move!!]
-Team leader!! Answer!! The Sea Serpent is coming to its senses!!
-Yuki?! Are you okay?? Can you tell me what’s going on?!

‘Ah…’

I am alive here now.
I am still fighting.
I am no longer alone.

Yuki’s soul was still burning.

It was burning with love that surpassed survival instincts.

Her heart began to thump again.

‘This is where I live.’

Thud thud thud

Lee Hua, who hides her sense of justice under cynicism, has become kind and righteous.
Thud thud thud

Not Na-yeon, who became stronger through countless tragedies, but Na-yeon, who started to fight as a rookie magical girl, has become her comrade.
Thud thud thud

A reality where the people she loves are still alive.

It was reality.
Yuki was still living fiercely in that reality.

‘I love this place.’

Smack!!

Yuki slapped her cheek hard enough for it to echo in the cave. It stung her face bright red, and the foolish thoughts fled away from her mind.

“Ugh, sorry. I had a strange thought for a moment.”

“Then let’s fight fiercely from now on!!”

“Yes!!”

“Think less!! Feel intensely!!”

That’s how flame and lightning move.

‘I have people around me who want me to live…!’

Yuki thought of a new way, not the old way of the previous world.

Fwoosh!

In Yuki’s hand, alongside a huge flame, she created the Scale of Flame.

The Scale of [Plague].

“This works just like the magical girls of [Plague]. It absorbs and releases starlight.”

Yuki looked at the heart of the regenerating monster, pouring out poisonous gas endlessly.

The monster was also a remnant of starlight born from the scars of a star.
If she absorbs starlight with the Scale of Greed and then detonates it, she could create an explosion.

“With that, an explosion stronger than the heart’s regeneration?”

“No, with that kind of regeneration, it won’t be enough.”

“Then what do we do?”

Yuki quietly looked up.

A dark ceiling.
No, the monster’s hide.

*

I was anxious about the radio silence from Yuki.

‘What’s happening?’

Even now, the endless onslaught of [Plague] became cleverer as they died, attempting to steal the starlight from the support team.

Creatures hiding under the white platforms, secretly stealing starlight.

“Hahaha! I was hiding so you wouldn’t see me!”
“Yikes?! Since when?!”

Groups pouring starlight into a single creature.

“Hey! I’ve gathered everything!”
“Pour it all into her!”
“Hehehe! You didn’t see this coming!”

Using various methods, the magical girls of [Plague] who had stolen starlight gleamed with the ominous black starlight, launching attacks.

Pwoosh!!

A black beam.
An attack from the Plague.

The spot hit by the glowing black starlight was scattered with the curse of the Plague along with ominous energy.

Limbs numb, fever rising, suffering from extreme pain… the curse of the black plague.

“Ahhh!!!”
“Ugh!! Aah!!”
“Ugh! I got hit by the attack…!”

[Fortress 3 has been rendered inoperative!! Fortress 5 was just hit by the attack!!]

Half-hearted [Plague] magical girls emerging from the rifts inflicted pain that slowly broke down the support team magical girls, even with the weak starlight stolen from other magical girls.

‘Damn!’
I kept erasing the [Plague] magical girls who wandered off separately.

“Haha! I hit!”
Boom!!

The magical girl from [Plague], who cheered, disappeared completely in the white starlight I threw.

No matter how many I process,

It was endless, flowing [Plague].

-Hikari!!

Yuki’s radio came through.

“Yuki!! What’s going on?!”
-Now, steam will start to rise from the Sea Serpent’s back! Focus all your attacks there!!

“Got it!!”

I continued to intercept the [Plague] magical girls while keeping an eye on the back of the Sea Serpent.

Sizzle—!
Very faint,
Very subtle,
But there was definitely a spot on the Sea Serpent’s back that was heating up and emitting steam.

The starlight of Yuki and Lee Hua could be felt.

A weakness of the Sea Serpent that couldn’t be known from the outside.

That spot was glowing red and releasing steam.
-Hikari!! There!! It’s the Sea Serpent’s weakness!!
“I report from the Magical Girl of [Hope]!! All interception teams!! Fire at the spot where the steam is coming out!!”
[Understood!! All teams, commence concentrated fire!!]

With starlight still remaining after the assault from [Plague], all magical girls attacked that spot.
Galatea, who had dealt with the [Plague], also attacked that area.

Starlight rained down like a meteor shower.
Colorful attacks.
Boommmmm!!

The skin of the Sea Serpent, now glowing from the inside, couldn’t withstand the magical girls’ attacks. Yuki and Lee Hua faced the heart through the gaping skin of the Sea Serpent.

Urrrrrrr――!!!

A desperate scream.
A final struggle.

The attacks hit, smashing into the Sea Serpent’s heart, reeking with a horrible scent. Flames roared back up from the heart, where the Sea Serpent was nearly vanquished.

The flower of flame
The flame of realization

[I love the world I cherish!! Here!! I am living here!!]

Yuki’s heartfelt voice echoed in the divinity.
The new fate of a blazing Yuki.
A new fate she carved out herself, separate from the goddess.
The destiny of a new world.
[Love].

‘Burning love…!’
For some reason, my heart swelled.
‘Yuki…!’

The voice of a girl always timid, remembering only her failures. It felt like reading the true last page of [Magical Girl HAZARD].
It felt like seeing the true ending of a novel I had never read.
It felt like witnessing the true growth of the protagonist I had never laid eyes on.
I protected her from the onslaught of [Plague] while blessing the girl’s new growth.

“Everyone, help me!! Help Yuki!!”
[All magical girls!!! Fire towards the Flower of Flame!! This is it!!]
“Ahhh!! Let the sea split apart!!!”

From all the silver ships in the sky,
From all the white platforms in the sky,
From the magical girls rushing the sea,
From the magical girls shooting lightning,

Countless starlights flew towards the Flower of Flame as help.
They sent their hands of assistance to the girl who had struggled in the crumbling world.
Shikishima Yuki was now loved by the world.
She was blazing anew, facing the new world.

A Thousand Bloom 3-Star Magical Girl of [Love]
Shikishima Yuki

“Kraaaaaaak?!”
“Unbelievable!!”

In the blazing flames, the Sea Serpent’s heart disappeared, and the magical girls of [Plague] vanished into the closing rifts.

The second trial that began on the dark waves came to an end with the blooming of the red flower.
