ALL NOVEL chapter 11
11. The First Battle, Perfectly Concluded!
“Roar?!”
Seeing the magical girl Firebird standing before it, the giant bat was momentarily stunned, not daring to approach her even a step.
Because it couldn’t comprehend what was happening. Why had that human girl suddenly transformed into this form?
Moreover… she posed a threat that promised death if it dared to come any closer…
“…”
“Boom!”
“Roar?!!!”
However, before it could finish its thoughts, the first attack from the magical girl Firebird had already been unleashed—a giant bird, burning with flames, shot forth from Firebird’s fist with a piercing shriek.
“Thud!”
With just a single strike, it inflicted tremendous damage! The giant bird, coming down from above, slammed the giant bat back to the ground, creating a large crater.
After doing all this, Wuyue didn’t spare the giant bat another glance. Instead, she turned, crouched down, and placed her warm, glowing right hand, radiating a reddish-yellow light, on Youyu’s face.
“…Don’t worry.”
She said softly.
“I will definitely… save you.”
Although right now, she didn’t even know what she had done to become like this.
But… she could feel that the current her possessed a powerful strength.
This strength could be used for destruction, but it could also be used for protection.
Now, she was going to use this strength to pull Yuyu back from the brink of death.
“Buzz—”
Thus, under Wuyue’s manipulation, a yellow-red light gradually transferred from Yuyu’s face to his entire body.
And he, who had been calm, suddenly transformed into… a frowning expression.
“Cough! Cough!”
A minute later, perhaps her rescue had worked, Yuyu successfully awakened.
However, after waking up, the expression on his face… seemed to be more painful than before?
“Yuyu?! Yuyu?! Are you okay?!”
Seeing him awake and sitting up, Wuyue shook his shoulders, speaking excitedly and eagerly.
“Uh… I should be okay now, but I’m still a bit dizzy. Could you not shake me for a moment…”
“Ah! Sorry, sorry!”
With an apologetic smile, Wuyue retracted her hand.
Then, she looked at Yuyu, whose wounds had disappeared but who still didn’t seem to be in good shape, and after a moment of silence, filled with deep guilt and regret, she said:
“I’m sorry… for making you suffer such serious injuries just now.”
“If I had been a bit stronger back then… it wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
“…No, you don’t have to say that… it has nothing to do with being strong or not. After all, facing that kind of inhuman monster, if you can’t escape… it’s just unavoidable.”
“However… let’s not talk about this for now. Wuyue, it should be you, right? What’s going on with your current state…?”
Hearing Yuyu’s question, Wuyue shook her head and said:
“I don’t know either. It was just… when you were about to die, a voice suddenly emerged from my heart, asking about my wish.”
“I… answered it.”
“And then, it said I had the qualifications to become a magical girl—”
“I transformed into this state.”
“And it seems… I’m called Magical Girl Firebird.”
“Uh… I see.”
Shaking his head, Yuyu seemed to be pondering something, then suddenly reverted to that painful expression again.
Seeing him like this, Firebird anxiously wanted to continue treating him, but he stopped her.
“……I still need to take a moment. In any case! Uh, you should go deal with that bat first! You should have the ability to do that now, right?”
“If it escapes, that wouldn’t be good.”
“But that bat is temporarily immobilized right now, and your injury…”
“……I appreciate your concern for me, Wuyue.”
Looking at Wuyue, who frowned, Youyu managed a difficult smile and then took one of her hands.
He said:
“But… right now, compared to me, there are others, many more people who need help.”
“Don’t worry… I’m not going to waste my life like this. Your treatment has already healed my wounds quite a bit.”
“It’s just… I still need some time to restore my spirit.”
“……”
“Yeah.”
After a moment of silence, Wuyue nodded, as if acknowledging his statement.
Then, she slowly helped Youyu, who was sitting on the ground, to a place where he could be sheltered from the rain.
“Then, you wait for me here.”
“I’ll go deal with that giant bat and come back to keep you company.”
“……Wait!”
Just before she left, Youyu called out to her.
“……Although I know that with your current strength, dealing with that bat should be no problem, there’s something I still want to say.”
“Be careful.”
“Ah…”
Upon hearing Youyu’s words, Wuyue was taken aback for a moment.
Then she quickly reacted, smiling as she replied:
“Okay.”
Then she lightly jumped away from in front of Youyu.
————
“Tap.”
When she landed again, she had arrived at the place where the giant bat had been defeated.
It was at this moment that she finally managed to calm down and began to think about everything that had just happened.
“What is this monster… exactly?”
Why did it suddenly appear and then attack humans?
—
And… for some reason, she had unknowingly become a “magical girl”…
What exactly is that voice deep inside her?
Why did that voice say she had the “potential” to become a magical girl?
“…”
After frowning and pondering for a while, Wuyue decided not to think about it anymore.
After all, she couldn’t come up with anything right now.
So it would be better to resolve this monster quickly and then return to Youyu’s side.
Moreover… she had plenty of time to explore this question.
“Ha…”
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the giant bat, barely clinging to life in the pit, her gaze firm as she raised her right fist high.
Then, she swung her fist.
“Whoosh!”
Flames erupted instantly from her fist, rushing toward the bat.
“Roar—!”
The bat’s body was engulfed in flames, burning for over a minute until it transformed into purple particles and then dissipated.
And after the bat vanished, the destruction it had caused was mysteriously restored…
“Oh… this is really convenient.”
It seems that monster held many secrets within it?
“…Forget it, no need to think so much!”
“Since it’s already been eliminated…”
Then she should hurry back and accompany Youyu home!
That is the main thing!
With that thought, a smile returned to Wuyue’s face as she leaped again, rushing toward Youyu.
Seeing this… a blue-haired girl hiding in the shadows, clutching the necklace around her neck, finally relaxed her grip.
“That person… has perfectly concluded this battle…”
Good.
No need for her to intervene anymore.
