I want to kill him.
Magical Girl Magenta Eagle.
Her real name was Han Yunseol.
That was the emotion she was feeling right now.
When she'd first been dragged into the Magical Girls' dorm with Sora and Ray, she'd thought it wouldn't be so bad.
She was half-convinced she could sweet-talk them just a little and dump all the Magical delivery duties on them.
But Kim Siyul had ruined her plans.
'That crazy bastard, fucking hell!'
Who could've known?
She'd only lightly scratched her wrist to threaten him with Magical blackmail, but he'd gone and sliced right through her Magical artery.
She'd barely sold a bit of her Magical past to buy some Magical virginity certificates, and suddenly he'd opened a Magical event she'd never even requested.
Because of that, she'd ended up singing and dancing in front of countless Magical Girls, forcing out a talent show she didn't even have.
And that wasn't all. When they'd told her to go home midway, she'd bolted, only for them to drag her back saying she looked exhausted.
They'd called it a Magical gathering for her new Magical school days, but in reality, it was a horrific reenactment of her Magical school days trauma.
If she let her guard down even a little, it felt like tears would spill out. In fact, it seemed like they already had.
'It's less a Magical gathering and more like...'
Magical bullying. Han Yunseol ground her teeth.
Still, the burdensome attention from the Magical Girls had finally faded.
They were all chatting among themselves now. No more suffering ahead.
She just had to kill time appropriately, and that would be it.
"To commemorate this Magical gathering, this girl will hand out Magical flyers to everyone!"
That's what she'd thought.
Until she received the Magical flyer.
"Huh?"
Magical Girl Black Kitty—probably named Taisi— the content of the Magical flyers she was handing out to everyone was all too familiar.
Han Yunseol's thoughts ground to a halt.
A moment later, curses reflexively spilled from her lips.
"F-Fuck!"
Well, she couldn't help it.
The Magical flyers contained her secret Magical original poems and Magical original novels, copied verbatim.
The Magical original poems and novels she'd scribbled down whenever her Magical Girl life overwhelmed her with Magical sentimentality.
Stuff worthy of a Magical blanket kick, but too precious to throw away—she'd quietly sealed them away, planning to revise them properly later.
And now they were being shared with everyone.
In a form she absolutely never wanted.
It was literally the worst.
'How the hell did they find them!'
No, correction.
This wasn't the worst.
She couldn't dare call something like this the worst.
"These wonderful Magical creations were all prepared by Magical Girl Magenta Eagle!"
Taisi pointing her out was the real worst.
With that one statement and finger-point from Taisi, all the gazes she'd barely shaken off zeroed in again.
"Isn't it really cool? Tell us a Magical impression of what mood you wrote these in!"
And then Taisi drove in the Magical wedge.
"Don't..."
Han Yunseol's trembling lips twitched.
Taisi raised her voice even louder.
"We're asking nicely!!!"
"N-No, stop...!"
At Taisi's words, the Magical Girls began urging Han Yunseol one by one.
Tell us your Magical impressions quick.
'N-No...!'
Dying was still scary.
But this was just as terrifying as death.
She didn't want to, but there was no escape. It was pure Magical siege.
At that moment, Kim Siyul lowered his voice.
"What do you all think you're doing."
The mood sank like rain had started pouring, but Han Yunseol didn't feel it that way.
"Do you think ordering a creator to share their impressions out of the blue is any way to act?"
To her, it felt like a ray of light shining down.
'I-I'm saved.'
A brilliant light of hope.
"We should start with the reading session first! Right?"
Of course, that light went out in an instant.
"Our Magical Girl Magenta Eagle says she can't do it without enough applause!!! So everyone, clap!!!!!!"
It had never really been lit to begin with.
The moment the grand Magical applause hit Han Yunseol's eardrums, countless things inside her began crumbling.
Her mind, her spirit, and other precious bits.
Amid her thoughts screeching to a halt in real time, Kim Siyul's voice—full of amusement—pierced her brain.
"Hey, you're not scared anymore, right? See?"
In the end, Han Yunseol made a decision.
"Ah, haha..."
To stop thinking.
"Mom, I'm not scared of anything anymore."
That way, there'd be nothing left to fear.
He had successfully reclaimed Magical Girl's Stolen? School Days.
Honestly, during prep, it had felt annoying and exhausting enough to quit, but seeing the Magical Girl who'd shaken off all her fears made him glad he'd done it.
"Ha..., haha, ahaha..."
She seemed a bit off, but honestly, he had no idea. She'd been a nutcase to begin with—side effects from rapid treatment were to be expected.
Anyway, everything was resolved for now.
And this wasn't the end.
The Magical Girl hadn't just overcome her fears—she'd conquered other issues too.
"If you reverse suicide, it means live."
"Wow, that's so heartwarming. From now on, no more Magical suicides—just live hard."
"What, why not flip this rotten world upside down."
Look.
The Magical Girl responding to Sora's words.
Yes. She'd even overcome her severe chuunibyou syndrome.
No more self-harm, no more betting her life. She was even vowing to live diligently.
Now she was finally a true Magical Girl.
No more interpersonal issues to worry about.
Magical delivery duties would be smoother too.
Feeling pleased, he grinned brightly at everyone.
"Hey, good work, everyone."
"Magical issue! Solved! Wow!!!"
"As expected, this girl providing Magical revisions between the Magical reading sessions had the effect."
"Wow..., haha, happy...... happy......"
The white puffball and squid were reveling in joy each in their own way. Naturally, the Magical Girl too.
The only one not celebrating was Sora.
"Hm..."
Sora wore a complicated expression.
She seemed happy, but not fully—it was ambiguous, tinged with a hint of bitterness.
"Sora, why the long face?"
"I didn't expect it'd break this easily. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed I didn't think of it."
"I didn't break anything—why phrase it like that."
He was dumbfounded. Talking like that could lead to misunderstandings.
This wasn't broken.
If anything, it was fixed.
There was the side effect of her grinning vacantly, but overall, it'd wrapped up smoothly.
Still, since Sora seemed disappointed now, he should help her vent it somehow.
In that case, instead of flipping the rotten world, maybe flip Grandma—
"Uh, fuck. Senior, hold up."
"What?"
"I don't know what it is, but I suddenly feel uneasy."
The moment Sora urgently stopped him, the dorm door slammed open.
"Heteros! I'm back!"
Right.
Les had returned.
She'd collapsed suddenly before and been sent to the Magical Capital Hospital, but now she seemed fully recovered.
"Les, you all better now?"
"I don't even remember what happened."
"Be careful. No set order for going."
Les brushed off his sincere concern and strode into the dorm.
"Huh?"
Then she froze abruptly.
Her gaze fixed on the Magical Girl.
"Ma, Magenta...... Eagle......?"
Precisely, on the Magical Girl smiling innocently while siding with them.
How long did Les stand there rigid?
"You, you never...... smiled at me like that."
Her trembling lips parted.
"I, I!"
And she began spilling the words from her heart.
"I! Hate it when Magenta Eagle smiles where I can't see! Holding hands with other kids! I want it just with me! Stay with me! Wanted to go to Magical PX together! When Magenta Eagle's happy, smiling, I want to be right there! That's what I like! My head hurts, it's agony! Thinking only of Magenta Eagle, I feel like I'm losing it... Waited for Magenta Eagle to accept me! Talk to me sometimes, talk to me, don't want it just me, Magenta Eagle too... a little... don't you care about me at all? A little? Not even a bit? Nothing? Just friends? Normal friends? Don't want normal, anything but normal, something special, I like that... Um, Magenta Eagle, what should I do? Huh? Magenta Eagle, you listening? Hear me out. Are you thinking while hearing my voice? Thinking about it? It's okay, anything's fine, just think something. I need that, can't I wish for that? Magenta—!"
"N-Nooooooo!!!!!!!"
At that instant, the Magical Girl screamed and bolted out of the dorm without giving her a chance to stop.
She'd overcome her fear of interpersonal relations, but the fear of yuri was impossible to conquer—she'd fled.
In simple terms, a new trauma had been planted.
They'd fixed one trauma, only for a new one to sprout.
Soon, the others shot sharp words at Les, the culprit.
"Les, you're really a nuisance."
"Les, you ruined it all."
"Yuri's an inferior species, but this was too much. It's the Magical 108 earthly desires. Even Magical Buddha couldn't endure it."
"No, after all my Magical advances, you can't just reap the laughs this easily."
Whether they spoke or not, Les refused to admit fault, just pulling an aggrieved face.
The realization that one outburst had wasted all their efforts suddenly left him feeling empty.
He hadn't worked that hard just to end up this hollow.
Unable to just stew in silence, he quietly moved his lips.
"Now who's gonna do Magical deliveries."
Staring blankly at the spot the Magical Girl had vacated.
Soon, word from the Magical outpost spread through the entire unit.
One Magical Girl had just gone AWOL with a desperate look on her face.
All the Magical Girls mobilized to hunt down the deserter.
As expected, it was Magenta Eagle. Her excuse: desperate flight due to a crisis of her Magical chastity.
Afterward, the Magical Girl was transferred to the Magical Mental Hospital.
Rumor had it her Magical PTSD was too severe. Discussions of early Magical discharge were floating around.
Anyway.
Today, the Magical Girls were peaceful as ever.
