The Magical Girl Has Surrendered to the Mushroom (2)
I never expected this... I'm not the only one wandering the streets in broad daylight dressed like this.
I was genuinely shocked.
What the hell is wrong with this guy?
Is he even sane?
Of course, his outfit is still better than mine—I look like I belong in some cheap adult establishment.
But the other person seemed even more surprised than I was.
“You... that shameless appearance... Do you happen to know a fairy named Cookie?”
Huh? Cookie?
“How do you know about Cookie?”
“I knew it... So you're one too.”
Suddenly, a look of pity crossed the other girl's eyes.
“Does that mean... you're a guy too?”
“What?!”
She said “too”?!
The blonde girl said nothing more. She simply shook her head with a pitying expression.
No way... She's this pretty? But inside, she's... that? I'm pretty too, you know!
“What? You don't believe me?”
No, how am I supposed to react when someone suddenly drops that kind of reality on me?
“Want proof? Evidence that we're both victims of Cookie's twisted tastes.”
“Huh?”
The blonde girl hesitated, glanced around, sighed, and muttered to herself, “It's fine because he's a guy, it's fine because he's a guy...” She grabbed the hem of her frilly skirt and lifted it without hesitation.
Whoosh—
“Eek?”
What appeared before my eyes were two small, peach-like mounds. Her pretty, neatly closed folds were clearly visible beneath the shadow of her skirt.
What, what, what......
No panties?!
“You pervert?!”
“It's because of Cookie... By the way, I'm not wearing anything on top either.”
The blonde girl spoke with exhaustion.
No panties and no bra?! In broad daylight on the street?!
......Incredible... Absolutely incredible.
Meanwhile, the convenience store clerk was seriously debating whether to call the police because of the sudden appearance of two half-naked girls (us).
* * *
The blonde magical girl said her name was Alpha. Obviously, it wasn't her real name...
“I don't remember my previous name either. I was so confused, wondering if I'd been a girl from the very beginning.”
Right! Right!
Exactly! Exactly!
When I nodded in agreement, Alpha smiled happily. I could even see tears of emotion welling up in her eyes. Was she really that glad?
“But doesn't it scare you? Thinking you're the only one in this weird situation? Makes you wonder if your head's messed up!”
“I know~~~! I totally get how you feel!”
“Haa... Seriously, meeting you feels like finding a lifeboat while drifting at sea. I'm so relieved. Oh, do you need any ‘Tattara Dog’? You can have it.”
“No, no. I already got everything I needed. You keep it, you keep it.”
Thanks to that, we spent quite a while badmouthing Cookie together, and the atmosphere became surprisingly warm.
I had a feeling this girl and I would have a pretty long and good relationship. The kind of friendship that forms when two people share the same kind of humiliation and hardship.
The kind where we could be forgiving no matter what mistakes the other made...... Haaah....
“Ah, but I'm sorry.”
“Huh?”
“Because I bought up all the last Blue Moon character merchandise, you had no choice but to pick that one, right?
No sane person would ever buy merchandise of that psycho bitch...
But if you're planning to burn it out of spite, I can understand.”
Forgiving......?
“...Huh? What did you just call Ruby?”
“Huh? Oh, you didn't hear? In Witch Girl, Ruby is a total two-faced psycho bitch, right? That's the mainstream opinion on the community too.
Ah, even before coming here, some crazy bastard posted that Ruby in episode 13 of season 7 was a gift from the gods or something, so I left a bunch of comments to enlighten him...
Really, there are so few people with messed-up heads like that. They walk around with heads just for decoration. Or maybe their brains are stuffed full of udon noodles instead—”
Before Alpha could finish, my fist was already flying toward her with a sharp whoosh.
But Alpha didn't even blink. She simply tilted her neck and dodged it effortlessly.
With a terrifying sound, a storm-like gust swept through the shop. Still, I had held back quite a bit.
So that's how it is.
This guy... was that guy!
“It was you! The one with the username ! I was wondering who left those insane comments on my post!”
“How do you know my community username...? Wait, comments... Right. Then you must be ! I thought your username was crazy, but...!”
What, what's wrong with my username?!
People are at their most beautiful when they're true to their instincts.
Before I knew it, a crowd had gathered around us. The onlookers, who had been watching curiously, seemed to grasp the situation and split—half behind me, half behind Alpha.
It looked like the crowd had divided neatly into Ruby fans and Blue Moon fans.
『Unlike Blue Moon, who's worn down by harsh reality, Ruby is the true magical girl who cries out for dreams and hope!』
『You're calling that insane psycho a magical girl?! The crazy bitch who empties people's bank accounts while shouting “Justice served!”?!』
『You bastards are crossing the line?!』
『Shut up! A bitch like Ruby deserves to be captured by tentacles and violated for a whole month before she comes to her senses!』
『Blue Moon is a masochistic bitch who feels it in the ass! If you ram a wooden stick up there, her true nature will come out right away!』
『『Bring it on, you bastards!!!』』
......
Using our fight as an excuse, these people also unleashed their pent-up frustrations with murderous intent.
Wow, every single thing they're saying is terrifying. I can't stand it. This is why otaku are... Good thing I'm not one.
“So, I even left kind comments to enlighten you... but you're still simping for Ruby? No intention of changing your mind?”
“What if I did change it?”
“Praise Blue Moon. Then you shall be saved!”
Is this guy insane?
“I'll be a lifelong Ruby loyalist. From the uncensored version of season 2, episode 5, Ruby's pure white—”
“No no, I can never forget those eyes filled with hope and love.”
“I can't forget the uncensored season 3, episode 13, Blue Moon's anal torture arc—”
“No no, I can never forget her composure and how she never yields even in the face of adversity....”
“You no-panties pervert!”
“Says the one wearing such shameless clothes!”
There's no way I'll ever understand this guy!
Before I knew it, a strangely shaped gun had appeared in Alpha's hand. I also set down the Ruby merchandise and clenched my fists. I was fully prepared to attack at any moment.
As the shop descended into chaos with curses and heated arguments, a tense atmosphere hung between us.
That was when it happened.
“Nyang. You two sure don't seem to have any time to get bored, nyang.”
Along with that laid-back voice, Cookie popped out from a door that appeared in the empty air.
“A weirdo has appeared, nyang. Come out right now, nyang.”
“Shut up. This is an important moment.”
“A trash fairy who can't read the room.”
Cookie frowned, looking offended.
“If you don't come out within 10 seconds, I'll make you mate with horses, nyang. Both of you.”
We both rushed out of the shop without a second thought.
* * *
“Gahahahaha! I am the mushroom monster Porcini Prince! I shall cover this Earth with my spores—Wha—?!”
The mushroom-headed monster barely dodged the killing blow I delivered by leaping from the building.
“Don't dodge!”
“Gaha... I almost died, mushroom....”
By the time Alpha and I arrived, the street had already turned into a demonic realm.
Whoa... The gaps between buildings have become a mushroom forest. Is it spreading spores or something? Scary and kinda gross.
Bang—!
“Mushroom?!”
The bullet Alpha fired pierced straight through the mushroom monster's head. The monster staggered but didn't fall. The hole in its head quickly filled back up with a squelching sound.
It has regeneration... What do we do now?
“Looks like all the civilians have evacuated. I saw a few people crushed under mushrooms and got them out....”
“There are no more civilians nearby, nyang.”
Thud—! Crunch.
I tripped the mushroom and stomped down on its chest with my foot.
“That's what they said. Got anything else to say? Should I just kill you like this? Or are you strong enough to take on two magical girls?”
“Gaha... You whore...!”
“Who are you calling a whore?”
“Gahaaaa......!”
When I pressed down harder with the foot on its chest, the mushroom monster writhed and let out a pained groan.
A muscular, bodybuilder-like figure with a mushroom for a head and hands squirmed beneath my foot.
Plus, it was completely naked on top of that, so its male parts kept flopping around... It was an incredibly disgusting sight. Ugh, gross.
Anyway, this is about the level of your average monster.
Last time, because that traitor magical girl Danae stabbed me in the back, I got dragged off by the Bibis and went through all sorts of things, but most monsters are the kind that get smashed to pieces with one punch. Fighting them was boring.
“.......”
“Gahaha. What are you thinking while stepping on me, mushroom?”
“Nothing much.”
Just a little.
For some reason, I remembered when I was captured by the Bibis, or maybe there was some inexplicable sense of regret... but I didn't think about that... I wouldn't have.
The Brand of Lewdness is glowing.
Trait: Submission Urge (Initial) has been added.
Your body remembers the pleasure of submission. It is always ready to yield to an opponent. Occasionally, your body may be unable to resist its desires and attempt to submit on its own.
Because my clothes were so short, I could clearly see the womb-shaped tattoo on my lower abdomen, half-hidden by my skirt, glowing faintly.
Ha, seriously.
I only thought about it for a second!
“Ga, hahahaha! Two magical girls...... Perfect, mushroom.”
“Huh?”
“Did you think Porcini Prince was just wasting time here for no reason?! It was all to lure you out! You magical girl bitches! Gahahahaha!”
What is this guy talking about?
Annoyed by how unpleasant it was to listen to, I pressed down with my foot and rolled it lightly.
BOOM—!
The monster's body exploded grotesquely into pieces, and spiderweb cracks spread across the asphalt with my foot at the center.
......I only stepped lightly.
It wasn't blood that flowed from the monster's body. Its entire form was covered in strange fluids.
Plus, a bunch of powdery stuff flew up, making my nose itch. “Achoo!” I sneezed.
“Ugh...... You could've died nicely.”
“Anyway, that was an unsophisticated way to handle it. This is why Ruby fans are like this.”
“Didn't you just make one tiny hole and call it a day?”
“If I'd gone all out, this entire street would've disappeared.”
“If I'd gone all out, the Earth would've disappeared.”
“You people are truly childish, nyang.”
Cookie sighed as we started growling at each other again.
“And the monster's reaction still hasn't disappeared, nyang.”
“What?”
From a spot slightly away from where Porcini Prince had been blown apart, something humanoid began sprouting like mushrooms.
Porcini Prince, who had just died in an explosion, had revived in his original form!
“Gahahahaha! This body has gained new power! Unless you destroy every mushroom and every spore in this place, this body will not fall, mushroom!”
“New power...?”
“This is it!”
The mushroom monster, noticing my puzzled gaze, raised one hand.
Then, a glowing crystal appeared in the empty air, as if sprouting from nothing.
“As long as I have this new power, this body will not die! Even if I die, I'll be reborn from new spores! Now tremble in fear and bow your heads, you magical girl sows!”
......Wait, it looked strangely familiar. It was a Magic Stone.
It was quite large, but smaller than the one I'd taken from the Bibi hideout.
No, it was small, but if you split that one into four, it'd be about this size...?
Hmm...?
“Ha, this is why Ruby fans are like this. Just like that crazy bitch Ruby in season 1, episode 18, who got captured by the Kraken after recklessly spamming magic like a psycho and got every hole stuffed.”
While I was still puzzled, Alpha stepped forward, scratching at my nerves.
“If you're gonna simp for that brainless bitch, step back. From now on, I'll show you the kind of brilliant handling worthy of Blue Moon.”
Is she gonna shoot again like before? I thought, but instead of a gun, Alpha was holding a round compact-like object.
It looked like a pocket watch, or maybe a stopwatch.
Click. When she pressed the switch at the end, a number appeared in the center, then rapidly changed with a series of clicks.
“Alpha's costume changes according to the number that comes up on that Lucky Roulette, nyang. The higher the number, the more powerful the costume, nyang.”
“If it's random, isn't it the same as mine?”
“No matter what costume you get, it's balanced to some degree, but Alpha's is purely based on the count, so there's no balance, nyang. Even if her base body is weak, it's not strange for her to get a dress with specs that could destroy the Earth, nyang.”
While Cookie was earnestly explaining, the numbers on the Lucky Roulette began to slow down.
“Mushroom head. Someone like you would be fine with a 5, but if an 8 or 9 comes up, I'll apologize in advance, okay? You're gonna end up in a pitiful state.”
Alpha confidently held up the Lucky Roulette.
With a final click, Alpha's body was enveloped in light.
“Behold!! This magnificent form!!!”
Before long, the light faded, leaving only a chest covering and a tiny scrap of cloth barely covering her crotch—something straight out of a historical drama.
The Lucky Roulette displayed the number ‘0’.
“The costume's good, but her luck is absolute garbage, nyang. I've never seen anything above 6 come up, nyang.”
* * *
While mocking the beggar-like Alpha, I was clutching my stomach and laughing so hard I could barely breathe when—
“Huh......?”
Suddenly, my vision blurred and strength drained from my body. On top of that, my body grew hot, and my nipples and down there started itching. This, this familiar sensation...!
Status: Paralysis has been added.
Status: Mild Arousal has been added.
Trait: Mild Addiction (Severe) has been activated.
At the edge of my vision, Alpha had collapsed just like me.
Aphrodisiac? When did this happen?
“Gahahaha! You two brainless sows, thinking you could take me on together. This entire area is already filled with my paralysis spores and aphrodisiac spores. Just breathing is enough to get addicted, mushroom!”
“Th-this...!?”
Around the boastful mushroom monster Porcini Prince, identical copies began sprouting up one after another.
Just like the original, they were all naked, and the sight of their dangling parts made my face turn pale instantly.
“Go, my clones! Gang-rape those magical girl sows and plant plenty of spores inside them, mushroom!”
Both Alpha and I were instantly swept away by the wave of muscular naked bodies.
