ALL NOVEL chapter 37
Second Generation Episode 1: Second Generation Magical Girl
One day, the ordinary peace that was expected to continue was suddenly shattered by the appearance of demons.
“Hahaha! Humans, kneel!”
The demons destroyed buildings as if enjoying the sight of people fleeing in terror.
The power of the demons is overwhelming.
Ordinary humans cannot possibly match them. Even with guns and weapons, the demons possess an overwhelming individual power that surpasses them all.
No matter how much small power gathers, it cannot compare to great power. They are simply oppressed by the strong.
“What’s this, so weak! Humans are just a species that exists to be ruled by demons!”
When despair was about to fill people’s eyes, a voice of hope echoed.
“That’s enough! We won’t let you hurt people any more!”
“Huh? You guys are———”
Yes, those girls are the hope of humanity, protecting people from demons.
“Magical girls, here to fight you!”
“Really, such a nuisance, ruining my day off.”
“Well, well, it’s our job after all.”
“Mew wanted to nap more…”
“Come on, everyone. Let’s do our job properly.”
The girls who suddenly appeared were each dressed in cute outfits and didn’t seem very strong at first glance, but their power was immense.
“Heh, kids like you are magical girls… You look pretty weak.”

The demon tribe looked down on the magical girls with a relaxed smile.
“Demon tribes are always lacking in elegance… Not suitable to be my opponent, I guess.”
“Sophia, this time we cooperate, all of us.”
“I know, let’s quickly take care of this small fry.”
“Alright! Everyone, let’s go!”
With the leader Lily’s shout, the two in charge of the front line jumped out.
“Well then… Shall we begin, Alisa?”
“Understood, as usual, I’ll match your pace.”
“Hehe, I’m counting on you.”
Sophia increased her speed further and rapidly approached the demon tribe.
“All talk and no action? You can’t even react?”
“Damn it! Take this!”
The demon tribe swung its arm at Sophia.
But Sophia was no longer there.
“Such a dull attack could never hit me, right? [Magical Flame]”
As soon as Sophia chanted that, a cross-shaped flame appeared around the demon tribe, engulfing it in a raging fire.
“Graaah!”
“Alisa.”
“Ready.”
As Alisa raised her hand towards the demon tribe, wind began to form around it.
The wind intertwined with the flames, gradually increasing in intensity.
“[Magical Tornado]”
The wind further raised the temperature of the flames, creating a tornado of fire that consumed and incinerated everything.
“Im…possible…”
Unable to withstand the high-temperature flames, the demon tribe turned to ashes and vanished.
“Not a big deal after all.”
“Indeed, not our enemy.”
The two who defeated the demon tribe crossed their arms proudly with smug expressions.
Seeing this, Miu sighed in exasperation.
“Both of you, look at the ground.”
—

“Hmm? The ground?”
“What’s happening on the ground—ah…”
Looking down, flames from the earlier tornado were about to fall onto the town.
“Honestly, those two… They always overdo it…”
Mana, who had been waiting on the ground, raised her hand towards the falling flames.
“Magical Water!”
In that instant, a massive water mass covered the flames.
In the blink of an eye, the flames were extinguished, the water mass dispersed, and rain began to fall around.
“You two… I’ll be giving you a lecture later…”
“No, Mana, this is…”
“Well, we just got a bit too enthusiastic…”
“What’s your response?”
“Y-yes…”
With a smile tinged with quiet anger, the two obediently followed Mana.
“Well, at least we managed to defeat it safely!”
“We didn’t get a chance to do anything…”
“Hehe, that’s true. But it would be nice if someday we magical girls wouldn’t have to fight anymore and peace would prevail.”
“That’s so like you, Lili.”
“It will come, we’ll pave the way to that future.”
“Yes, we will continue to fight for that future.”
“Miu also believes that future will come someday.”
“Yeah, let’s all keep doing our best!”
As they were all getting more determined, they heard someone crying nearby.
“Mommy… where are you…!”
Turning around, they saw a small girl who seemed to have been separated from her mother, crying in anxiety.
Lili and the others nodded to each other and immediately headed towards the girl.
“Hey, can you tell big sister your name?”
“Ugh… Yui…”
“I see, Yui-chan. Why are you here?”
“I was out with my mom… then suddenly a scary person appeared… and I got separated from my mom…”
—

Remembering that moment, Yui started crying again.
“Ah… Don’t cry, it’s okay.”
“Yui, do you want to see a beautiful flame from your big sister?”
“No, let me show you my wind—”
As the two confidently tried to produce flames and wind in their hands, Mana pressured them with a scary smile.
“Both of you… behave yourselves…”
“Yes, we’re sorry…”
“Hehe, Yui-chan, here, take this.”
Lili said as she conjured a single pink flower in her hand.
Yui’s expression gradually brightened.
“It’s beautiful… Hey, big sister, how did you do this?”
“Hehe, that’s flower magic.”
“Flower magic?”
“Yes, we magical girls can use magic.”
“Amazing…! I want to be like you, big sisters!”
Lili lovingly patted Yui’s head, charmed by her pure and innocent smile.
“You don’t have to force yourself. Being a magical girl is very tough. Yui-chan, just be happy. We will always protect that happiness.”
“Even so, I want to be like you, big sisters!”
“…Alright… If you become a magical girl, let’s fight together.”
“Yes! It’s a promise!”
“Yes, a promise.”
They extended their pinkies and made a promise.
Lili vowed in her heart to create a future where this child could live happily.
“Then, shall we go find your mother?”
“Don’t worry, Yui. We’ll help you find her in no time.”
“Yes, because we are magical girls.”
“Nothing is impossible for magical girls.”
“Hehe, that’s right.”
Everyone smiled and spoke kind words to Yui.
“Let’s go, Yui-chan!”
—

“Yes!”
Lily and Yui firmly held hands and started walking to find their mother.
