I Will Live as a Villain the Magical Girl Is Obsessed With

18 – 7. Isn’t it a matter of course that the entrance ceremony is a mess? -3

Having the cheers as their backdrop, the two girls prepared their magic. The blue-haired magical girl Stella was quite bewildered at the situation.

First, the pink-haired magical girl opened her mouth.

“I am Iris. Who are you?”

“I am Stella. Thank you for saving me earlier.”

“Oh, no big deal.”

Stella, marveling at Iris’ abilities, acknowledged her own deficiencies. In order to win, no, to survive, she has to fight focusing on her.

What she has to do is…

“I will support you. Please, fight to your heart’s content.”

“Okay. Take care of these little mobs and the people.”

“Yes. Leave it to me.”

“Alright! Let’s do this!”

Supporting the girl so she could fight comfortably, Stella who understood her role, fired star arrows as she flew up, Iris’s eyes became serious.

The orc guys aren’t even thinking about getting any closer due to the rain of an arrow shower.

“Ugh…..you witch…”

Except for one demon, Bagg.

Iris’ pink diamond-like eyes stared at Bagg. Her gaze scanned over his body carefully.

He had a strong physique. Thick legs like tree trunks and arms reminiscent of a hammer. If hit properly, something will break.

Phew, Iris had to take a deep breath.

Excitement or fear won’t do any good. This was a lesson she had learned over the past year.

Once her breathing calmed down and her heart’s beating subsided, she began to focus.

Ready to jump at any moment.

But the first to leap was Bagg. With his quick magic, he excitedly narrowed down the distance.

“Ha!”

At a speed that was hard to believe came from such a large body. Before the huge axe would behead Iris, she managed to duck and avoid his attack.

“Opening.”

With the momentum of her ducking, she threw a punch.

Crash! Bagg stumbled back with a loud noise.

“You son of “

“Ouch…my hand…”

It felt like hitting iron. He was strong and durable, and fast.

He might be the most physically challenging opponent she had ever faced.

Ooh! Bagg screamed, running even more frantically. His attack was simple and without skill.

But even a graze was deadly, so Iris could not help but focus on evasion.

Dodge, then counter when there’s an opportunity. This was a familiar pattern for Noah.

‘It’s like fighting Kraken!’

Avoid the downpour of attacks and aim for the momentary gaps. Seeing it in this light, fighting Bagg felt relatively easy.

Bagg was limited to his axe and kick. But Kraken violently attacked with tens of tentacles.

“You rat-like bastard!”

“Your attacks are too slow to ever hit me!”

However, Iris overlooked one thing. This was roughly at the point of executing the fifth counter strike.

As before, Iris dodged Bagg’s attack and retorted. The target was his chest.

Enhanced leg strength by magic and the striking punch launched. There was quite a damage…Bagh let out a groan.

“I’ve got you.”

“…!”

Swish!!

“Damn, it…!!”

Noah’s thrown body stuck to the floor, making a small pit on the spot.

“It’s dangerous!”

Thanks to Stella’s help, she was able to avoid the continuous attacks, but a rather large shock shook her body.

“Damn… you’re so hard… the rotten creature.”

Iris spat out the blood in her mouth and cursed.

Flesh cutting bone severing (肉斬骨斷).

Serves flesh and takes bones. Bagh was about to use that strategy.

“…Your rotten orc brain seems to work fine.”

The orc’s intentions were clear. After all, on a physical level, she has the upper hand. So she could attack right away, even if it means a bit of damage.

In other words, a counter for a counter.

Doesn’t it put us at a disadvantage if we drag out time, considering other heroes might come? Iris soon realized the reason.

“…Haah… Haah…”

“Are you okay?”

“I am… fine… But are you all right, Iris?”

“I guess so. No, probably a bit tired…”

Stella clearly showed a lack of energy. It wasn’t unreasonable for her. She was flying around the sky, shooting arrows of starlight.

Fighting off the foes, restraining them from attacking Iris, and at the same time, protecting the still trapped students.

It was undoubtedly hard to carry out all three tasks. If they continued like this, Stella’s energy would run out, and she would be subject to the orc’s joint attack.

“Don’t rest!”

“If you’re just buying time, you’ll also die, won’t you!?”

“It doesn’t matter! First and foremost, I will eliminate you, the risky element. That will be the top priority!”

“This crazy fellow…!”

“I will cut you down before you grow into a great tree!”

Bagh didn’t give Iris much time to think. Another straightforward charge was about to happen.

Noah, who rolled to the side to avoid it, had to counter again.

“Damn it!”

“Why not. Aren’t you going to attack?”

“Shut up!”

If they continue like this, the disadvantage would be severe.

The difference between Bagh and the Kraken was evident here.

The Kraken’s main body was rather fragile and it preferred using defensive techniques and skills.

It wasn’t the type that pushed through with sheer strength.

“If so, I will take my move!”

Again, she dodged the onslaught. Realizing she couldn’t counter, the attacks became fiercer.

Noah pondered while avoiding the storm-like onslaught.

‘… Should I use it?’

There was one technique left that she had prepared against the Kraken.

However…

‘…I’m not sure if it would be effective.’

If she used this technique against the Kraken, it would undoubtedly be fatal. It was that powerful.

But, where there is light, there is naturally a shadow.

‘If it doesn’t knock him out in one shot, it’s over.’

It was a suicide attack.

After several experiments by Iris, this technique turned out to have a very simple mechanism.

It was a single strike, which gathered all her magic power in one hand. The backlash would leave just enough mana to keep her form intact, however, the arm she attacked with would break.

In other words, it was either win or lose.

‘Should I really use it?’

Iris hesitated.

Who wouldn’t? It was a dangerous technique that could be the end if missed. Who the hell had such a dangerous technique?

It’s because of her hesitation that she has not yet used this technique against the Kraken. It would be unreasonable to use it right away in a real battle.

But it wasn’t like she had any other immediate solutions. The more time was wasted, the more dangerous it would become for them.

As Iris hesitated unable to come up with a solution, a voice reached her ears.

“Iris! Don’t give up!! If you win, I’ll give you lots of affection!!”

Affection… to think a man who would use such an embarrassing phrase existed, and she only knew one.

Was this a hallucination? Or due to her impending death, she heard his voice?

Maybe he was here?

“…Ha ha, don’t be silly. That can’t be.”

It’s just not until now that Iris”Why is there a seed?”

No matter how hard it gets, you’ve got to hold on to your sanity.

“…Anyway, thanks to you, I’m clear-headed now. Thank you, mister.”

Iris clenched her fist tightly.

“I have to live.”

Still, the bucket list isn’t yet finished.

There are many things she wants to do and plenty left she wants to do with him.

And.

“When I return safely, mister will comfort me again.”

She had to survive, at least for the affection she greatly cherished.

“…Haaa!”

Iris took a long breath. The power flowing through her body begins to flow back. They slowly concentrate into Iris’s right arm.

Her right arm, glowing brighter than ever before.

“Again, you’re up to strange things!”

“…Hey, porky.”

“…X!?”

“Bring it on. I’ll turn you into pancakes.”

Iris snapped her fingers. A provocation calculated from understanding Bag’s simple, ignorant personality.

Stupid brute force. That was the Bag she evaluated.

Her assumption was precisely correct. Bag charged at her again with his bulky body, lifting his huge ax.

Instinctively, Iris knew. She didn’t even have the power left to dodge it.

That’s why she stood her ground, and glared at Bag. Until Bag was even closer to her.

She was scared. It was intimidating seeing the brute charge at her. However, Iris persevered. Doding it meant imminent death to herself and those around her.

She would never be able to meet that man again.

Five steps.

She could see the Orc’s face.

Four steps.

She could see the Orc’s expression.

Three steps.

The Orc’s ax was seen.

Two steps.

The Orc swung his ax.

One step.

The Orc’s ax was just about to cut the girl.

“…Hup!”

With a whoosh, the swinging axe was blocked by the girl’s right arm. She didn’t get cut off thanks to the concentrated magical power, but…

Drip drip, blood splattered onto the floor. The axe had cut through her skin, embedding into her bone.

An excruciating pain was felt. Gritting her teeth, the pain was almost unbearable, even likely to burst her lips.

But, it was a success.

“Huh…huh?”

When she swept her arm away, Bag’s axe was pushed away. The greater the force pushing, the larger the motion. His position was greatly distorted.

This was her chance. Among all the chances she had observed, this was the most perfect one.

Bag’s torso was completely exposed in Iris’s trajectory.

“I know it might be odd to say this.”

“Wait…!”

“I’m going to receive some affection. After all, I’ve promised to have dinner later. Eating at a restaurant with mister, it’s on my bucket list.”

Boom!!!

The sound of flesh exploding could be heard.

The sound of bones shattering could be heard.

As flesh fragments flew around and the smell of blood began to permeate the air,

“CRaaaK!?”

Someone’s cry of agony could be heard.

The girl looked straight ahead. There, remained an Orc, its upper body sliced in half.

“…kuk…ke…! “

An image of its body squirming as it tried to escape was seen.

Iris’s gaze flared up. It endured this blow? What kind of a body does it have?

This really was a tough bugger.

“…can’t I …chase it?”

Her legs wobbled as she moved a few meters. It took minutes to move just a couple meters.

It couldn’t be helped.

The fight was over here.

Seeing Stella, exhausted, sitting on the ground assuaged her irritation of not being able to completely end it.

It seems she had completely defeated the brats and was panting heavily.

“…Did you get rid of it?”

“Sorry, it escaped.”

“Shame…ha…yeah.”

“But the goal is achieved.”

“…Yes. The objective was to protect everyone anyway.”

Stella struggled to get up slowly. She was a mess. It is no different from Iris’s status.

“…Then I’ll go ahead.”

“Yes, before my transformation…”

Watching Stella escaping from the back, Iris hurried to a deserted place.

When the transformation was released, somewhere…

Incoming QQ.

“You were seriously hurt!”

“I’m sorry…”

“QQ… Full recovery may take time. You’re forbidden to hunt monsters until then.”

“It’s unfair.”

“How could it be fair! Why are you pushing yourself to this extreme!?”

QQ continued the treatment while scolding. Only when she had improved to a slight level of mobility Noah responded to QQ’s words.

“Comfort.”

“Pardon?”

“He said he would comfort me.”

“That bloody comfort! Really! Comfort…sigh…Why is it so enjoyable to you?”

“Um… It’s warm. The hand is warm and the eyes… just…”

Noah managed a weak smile, looking at QQ who was getting upset.

“I just like everything about him, what can I do…”

“…”

“I don’t know… just… um… Just thinking about him petting my head makes me happy.”

“Sigh… This young lady… I have to do something fast…”

“hehehehe…I wish it was evening already. I want to see him.”

QQ sighed as she looked at Noah.

Her gaze was warm.

“Uh…well… It’s not strange to have a first love at your age.”

“I’m not in love.”

“Are you sure?”

“Just… um… Like the light skinship received from a person like an uncle?”

“It doesn’t feel light though…No… Uh, Forget it. Do as you like.”

“Okay! I will receive lots of comforting as I like!”

Noah showed a bright smile.

She didn’t even know what the man who promised her comfort was up to.
