I Became the Troublemaker of a Magical Girl Family!
Jinwoo was in a tight spot.
The two of them had watched a magical girl anime called Magical Girl, and ever since he’d dreamed of becoming one, he had no choice but to become a professional fighter instead. If he couldn’t turn into a magical girl himself, he wanted to become someone who could give others dreams and hope, just like they did. That was why he had pushed himself far too hard during his third title defense match. He won the bout, only to die at the very end.
After that, with the help of a being called God’s Agent, he had crossed over and possessed a body in the very world where magical girls truly existed. That part was wonderful. On the way here he had even received several skills from the Agent. Thanks to Appraisal he could examine other people’s information, and with the Status Window he could check his own. The skill Agent’s Grace had raised his overall luck, while Agent’s Crazy Probability let him win favor from others with ridiculous ease.
It was all good that he had reincarnated into an isekai-like world straight out of a novel and received such generous benefits. However…
LV. 1
Name: Park Jinwoo
Gender: Male
Strength: 3
Agility: 2
Stamina: 3
Magic Power: 0
Charisma: 5
As you can see, he had reincarnated as a man. He was indeed the youngest child of a prestigious magical girl family, but he was the youngest son. And not just any son—he was the family’s disgrace, a bona fide troublemaker. He received terrible treatment from both his mother and father, and was even ignored by his second-oldest sister. The family’s worthless youngest. At least his eldest sister had spoiled him, but she was not at the mansion right now.
“Why didn’t I become a woman?”
At this rate, could he even become a magical girl? The Agent had hinted that he would make it possible, yet Jinwoo couldn’t quite believe it.
Just then, at the exact moment the unconscious young man regained his senses, the closed door opened and a girl stepped inside. The moment she saw him she let out a shrill “Kyaaak!” and screamed.
Name: Hwang Jiyeon
Gender: Female
Strength: 2
Agility: 4.5
Stamina: 4.6
Magic Power: 0
Charisma: 0.8
Details: Employee of the current mansion. Handles miscellaneous household chores. Exclusive maid assigned to Park Jinwoo by order of the family head, Park Chiyou. The person who suffered the most violence at the hands of the former Park Jinwoo.
After checking the new person’s status window… well, it seemed the basic world setting had been provided, but detailed character information had not. Did levels only appear for Jinwoo himself? He would probably find out if he kept using it. It looked like other people’s windows came with an additional details section. He also learned one more thing.
Of course she was frightened; she had been the primary victim of the previous Park Jinwoo’s abuse. The fear and terror made sense, but the despair tag on top of it… Just what exactly had that bastard done to her? To such a pretty, kind-looking girl, no less.
“Y-Young Master…!”
Hwang Jiyeon could only tremble violently. Her master had always been no different from a tyrant, so she never knew when or where he might suddenly change. On top of that, she had never expected the young man who had lost consciousness in a traffic accident while driving without a license to wake up so abruptly. How shocked she must have been.
“I’m hungry…”
The first words out of Jinwoo’s mouth were completely off-script. Jiyeon felt a strange sense of wrongness. The Park Jinwoo who had always been razor-sharp and vicious was now strangely calm. Wondering if the accident had damaged his brain, she pulled herself together, turned around, and quickly brought him a meal.
“H-Here you are, Young Master!”
“Mm… This is delicious!”
“………”
Delicious? The previous Park Jinwoo had never once said the food she prepared tasted good. Yet today, whether his mind had truly broken or not, he had praised her.
No. Don’t let your guard down, Jiyeon. The person in front of you is Park Jinwoo, the troublemaker of the Parkmyeol Park family…
She had suffered at his hands countless times. There was no telling when he might flip again. Just as Jiyeon’s suspicion toward Jinwoo was reaching its peak, the passive skill he had received from the Agent activated.
That skill was Agent’s Crazy Probability. It made others feel favorable toward Jinwoo regardless of reason. The Agent had been forced to give it to him because the original Park Jinwoo had lived such an irredeemably trashy life.
“Ah…”
At that moment, Jiyeon’s thoughts began to reorganize. Even though she had harbored nothing but dislike for him until a second ago, when she looked into his eyes she somehow felt he was different.
His eyes have changed. There isn’t a trace of the previous Young Master’s venom in them…
Within her calm judgment, something new appeared before her eyes.
Jinwoo personally experienced the terrifying power of the skill as her emotions shifted right in front of him.
It’s even more of a broken cheat than I expected. The fear, terror, and despair tags disappeared in an instant just because I’m the abuser…
If this were abused, wouldn’t it become an incredibly dangerous skill? No matter how he looked at it, the effect was far too good. If it weren’t for this skill, changing even one person’s perception would have taken an unimaginably long time. Out of all the bonuses the Agent had given him, this was the one he liked most.
All I have to do is not screw up from here on out…
Normally, no matter how well he treated her, her heart changing so suddenly would have been impossible.
“Young Master.”
“Yes?”
Hwang Jiyeon took a deep breath and asked boldly.
“Are you truly… the Young Master?”
“……”
That stung. Although Crazy Probability had loosened her wariness, she had now begun to suspect him in a different direction. It was only natural; the current Jinwoo was simply too different from the original Park Jinwoo.
Jinwoo gave her a bright, natural smile and spoke.
“That’s right. I am Park Jinwoo, the youngest son of the Parkmyeol Park family, the prestigious magical girl clan.”
“……”
“How much time has passed since the accident?”
“It has been roughly three months, Young Master.”
“I see… Looking back now, I don’t understand why I did those things in the past.”
“What… do you mean by that?”
Jiyeon could hardly believe her ears. The scene unfolding before her looked exactly like a man repenting for his past sins.
“Born as the youngest son of a magical girl family, I never received good treatment from my parents.”
In a way, that might have been their fault as well.
“But even so, that was no excuse for me to become twisted and cause trouble for everyone around me…”
That was how he had become the family’s shame. The troublemaker Park Jinwoo had been infamous throughout the magical girl world.
“Hanging out with delinquents, indulging in all sorts of bad habits… I can finally see just how much of a piece of trash I really was.”
“Young Master…”
He continued with a bitter smile.
“So I’ve decided to reform myself with this new chance. Do you think… I can do it?”
His question made it hard for her to answer carelessly, yet staying silent felt just as wrong.
“You may answer honestly. I won’t harm you for it.”
Normally she would never have believed him. Yet for some reason, right now she felt she could trust his words. Hwang Jiyeon took a small breath and spoke carefully.
“Honestly… it will probably be difficult.”
“I see…”
A truly harsh evaluation. It showed just how deeply negative her impression of Park Jinwoo was.
“However…”
She continued.
“If that heart is sincere, I believe it will definitely reach others one day.”
Her hopeful reply made Jinwoo chuckle. He scooped the last spoonful into his mouth and set the spoon down.
“Aren’t you afraid of me? There’s no guarantee I won’t suddenly revert and hit you again… I’m worried that you’re trusting the current me far too easily.”
“To be honest, at first I didn’t want to believe it. But the fact that I can speak to you like this right now… proves that the current Young Master really has changed a lot.”
It felt real. Someone who had lived in fear could not speak so openly. The old Park Jinwoo had been an utterly selfish man. Yet here he was, worrying about someone else and showing consideration.
Maybe… the current Young Master really can change.
Reform. People always said you can’t fix and reuse something. Yet the word “reform” existed in defiance of that very idea. She repeated the word she had never once believed in before, turning it over in her heart.
Was it really possible? Could a person change so suddenly? Or perhaps the Young Master before her wasn’t the one she knew, but someone else entirely? Such fantasy-novel thoughts crossed Hwang Jiyeon’s mind, but she quickly discarded them. He remembered far too many specific details about himself. There was no way he could be a different person. Therefore, she became certain. He had changed, and he would continue to change.
“If I ever try to walk the wrong path again…”
Jinwoo looked straight into her eyes and finished.
“Use any means necessary to kill me.”
“…!!!”
Jinwoo was afraid. He worried that the original owner of this body, the real Park Jinwoo, might suddenly appear from somewhere he didn’t know and take over. He had no way of telling whether the previous soul was merely sleeping inside this body or had already left it. That uncertainty terrified him.
Jiyeon looked momentarily flustered by his words, then spoke.
“I will go report this to the Mistress.”
She opened the door and fled as though escaping.
“Good. Then shall we begin training?”
He started the serious remodeling of his pathetically weak new body.
