I Reincarnated as a Mob in a Magical Girl Anime and After Repeatedly Saving Them from Near-Destruction as a Mysterious Entity They All Turned Yandere

Episode 38: Unforgivable Sin

I never had friends since I was young.

In the first place, I didn’t think I needed such things, so it didn’t bother me much.

At one point, I was cracking down on the noisy biker gangs one by one, and they gave me a strange nickname, “Empress,” and people around me disappeared even more, but I didn’t care about that either.

I have the strength to live alone.

I thought that friendship was just a hindrance in my life.

But when I entered high school and awakened to the power of a magical girl, that thought changed.

It seems that the mission of a magical girl is to fight against beings called demons alongside other girls with the same power.

At first, I thought I didn’t need comrades, but as I fought alongside them, I felt friendship for the first time.

And before I knew it, the four comrades had become the most important existence to me.

At school, I drove away all the weird bugs that came near those girls.

I will protect these girls.

That became the reason I fought as a magical girl.

…But, that too is no longer possible.

I have committed an unforgivable sin by hurting my precious comrades…

◇

On the top floor of the building owned by the Artemis Group, the magical girls were summoned by Elizabeth.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“Ah… Luna…”

When the last person, Luna, arrived, the atmosphere in the room became heavy.

Even though Christina, who had tried to betray Luna under the influence of the Seven Demon Emperor Selek, and the other members who had temporarily ignored Luna in agreement with Christina had apologized sincerely, they couldn’t face Luna.

Elizabeth had explained that Selek’s ability to amplify negative emotions made those who heard the manipulated person’s words naturally believe them. However, the fact that they had hurt their comrade remained unchanged, leaving deep scars in the hearts of the magical girls.

“Luna… um…”

“Everyone, don’t make such faces. I told you I don’t mind at all, didn’t I?”

Luna smiled gently and spoke in a comforting manner.

She seemed somehow different from the Luna they knew before.

“Everyone’s here, let’s begin.”

At Elizabeth’s voice, everyone turned their serious gazes towards her.

“The reason I gathered you all here today is because I have something important to discuss with you.”

“Something important…?”

“Yes, you will be going to the resort city of Altunum with the Meteor Academy soon, right?”

“Yes, we are all scheduled to participate.”

“I used the Artemis Group’s information network to investigate, and recently, there have been sightings of demons in Altunum.”

Hearing those words, everyone was shocked.

“Sightings… does that mean there haven’t been any actual damages yet?”

“Yes, so far, there have been no confirmed casualties caused by the demons. It’s hard to believe that such bloodthirsty demons would do nothing.”

Demons are generally violent and cruel, loving destruction and slaughter above all else.

It’s unbelievable that such demons would remain idle.

“We don’t know what they are planning… but it’s definitely nothing good.”

“So, what should we do…?”

“I want you to infiltrate as students, investigate the current situation in Altunum, and protect the citizens and the island from the demons in case of an emergency.”

Everyone, who had thought they would be told not to go this time, looked at Kiryuuin in surprise.

“Is it really okay for us to go?”

“Yes, of course. If nothing happens, that’s fine. I hope it’s all just a lie.”

“But, if there is an attack by the demons in the city center…”

Without the magical girls, there would be no one to protect the city center.

If there were an attack while they were in Altunum, the city center would be unilaterally destroyed without anyone to resist.

However, as if seeing through the magical girls’ anxiety, Kiryuuin made a confident expression.

“I will protect this place.”

And then he declared boldly.

Elisabeth is generally on business trips a lot.

She is so busy that she rarely comes back to the city center.

“But Kiryuuin-san, your work…”

“Ah, that’s not a problem. I’ve taken care of the troublesome matters. You don’t need to worry. Are you still anxious?”

“No, if that’s the case, the city center is safe.”

“That’s right. So, you all take care of Altunum.”

“Understood.”

“I leave it to you, Fiona, Noah, Fran, Luna, Christina.”
