The Magical Girl Tries to Escape (Second) (5)
After servicing the uncle, I returned to my room and fell asleep right away.
When I woke up from that nap, the Sex Beast had calmed down too. I could still feel the weight of something inside me, but it didn't seem to be moving.
Does this thing sleep too...?
Anyway, it was good news. Confirming it was late at night, I crawled out of the room on shaky legs.
Raiding the kitchen at odd hours had become routine. I half-expected them to post guards by now, but they were surprisingly lenient about it.
“Ugh... That damn uncle is the worst...!”
Getting my ass relentlessly targeted by that guy, then having some bizarre creature throw a feast inside my pussy... I nearly blacked out for real.
Still, managing to endure and get the maps was a stroke of luck.
Out of the thirteen maps, I'd received one yesterday and two more today, leaving ten.
Shit... Even at this rate, it'll take at least five days....
I'd barely managed to pull off two today, but that uncle was such a formidable opponent that even one was a struggle. Three in a single day seemed impossible. If I played it safe and kept this pace, maybe five more days would do it....
『Damn it... Why won't it open...!』
“Huh?”
While heading to the kitchen at a leisurely pace, I found someone already there.
I thought it might be Er, but the small stature told me otherwise.
“Ah!”
It was the magical girl from A City I'd captured during the day!
Kyaaah! I never expected to run into her here!
“Eh? You...? Perfect timing!”
I tried to turn and run, but the magical girl lunged and clung to me before I could shake her off.
“Where do you think you're going?! Do you have any idea what I went through today because of you?!”
“I-I'm sorry~~~~!! There was nothing I could do~~~~! Besides, I go through this almost every day~~~~!!”
“Because of you, because of you...!!!”
The magical girl wailed while pinning me down and smacking me repeatedly, but eventually let out a sigh and released me.
“Haa... Whatever. It was my own fault for getting caught because I was weak.”
“Ugh... Y-you're forgiving me...?”
“Shut up. I should just kill you.”
“Eek.”
Despite her youthful appearance, the A City magical girl wore a menacing expression, though she didn't seem consumed by rage anymore.
“More importantly, can you open that? Those freaks were tormenting me so much I couldn't even eat properly.”
“Does that settle what happened during the day?”
“......Tsk. Fine.”
Danbi, the A City magical girl, clicked her tongue and forgave me without hesitation.
Wow, what a cool woman....
“Wow, we got a new one. It's the unni who was in the training room with us earlier.”
“Ah, that human toilet girl.”
“Who are you calling a human toilet?!”
While pulling various ingredients out of the kitchen fridge and laying them out, Er showed up as expected. From what I heard, she'd spent the entire day being trained alongside Danbi in the same room.
“Haa, seriously. I've never been this humiliated. I spent the whole day with a freak's dick in my mouth. The only thing they fed me under the pretense of a meal was that disgusting semen.”
“Sounds rough. By the way, the way you're eating that sausage right now looks pretty lewd.”
“......My mouth is moving on its own...! What do I do...!”
While venting about what happened today, Danbi was already sizzling something together with the ingredients she'd taken out.
“What are you doing, Danbi unni?”
“Cooking. Can't you tell?”
“You're a girl!”
“......You idiots are girls too.... More importantly, who the hell eats frozen sausage raw....”
Danbi sighed, snatched the sausage Er had been nibbling on, scored it neatly with a knife in the blink of an eye, and tossed it into a nearby frying pan to sizzle.
“Oh, unni... I think I'm falling for you....”
“Seriously, you can't even grill a sausage?!”
“I'm just not compatible with cooking... If I touch a frying pan, it catches fire... If I touch a microwave, it breaks... If I handle ingredients, they rot by the next day... That's why I became a magical girl—so I could make cooking my wish!”
“...Did you get cursed or something?”
Danbi let out a resigned sigh. Before long, well-made risotto and various other dishes were laid out one by one on the table where we sat.
Amazing...!
From what I'd heard, she was apparently a hotel culinary arts student.
“Tsk, I've got class tomorrow too.”
“......Sorry....”
“It's fine.”
When I apologized again, Danbi waved it off like it was a hassle.
“I've been doing this for years. Getting tormented by freaks is nothing new, and getting betrayed isn't exactly rare either. I've even been screwed over by some idiot filming videos like 『Tried Betraying My Magical Girl Comrade at the Last Second lol』 for their O-Tube channel, so this is actually pretty clean in comparison.”
Her relaxed attitude carried a sense of experience. Her words were rough, but she was big-hearted.
Curious, I asked how many years, and she replied,
“I'm only doing the magical girl thing for the money... It's already been seven years.”
“Seven years?! How old are you now?!”
“Twenty-five.”
She's twenty-five now, so seven years ago....
“You were a minor!”
“Well, yeah.”
Danbi said this while chewing on the lamb steak she'd made.
“I needed money to get into university. It was hard to get part-time jobs as a high schooler... Actually, I was lucky.”
“But still, the child protection laws....”
“When I brought up that they were targeting a minor, they couldn't do anything. Even freaks follow the law, apparently. ...Those were actually the good days. If I acted weak, they'd even worry about me while beating me up.”
What the hell, that's kind of sweet.
“But sometimes there were real scumbags... Some only targeted minors on purpose. Those types were especially strong. When a guy with ten thousand puppet dolls attacked, I really thought I was done for.”
“S-so what happened...?”
“I held out a bit, and then nearby magical girls and even other freaks all swarmed in and beat the crap out of him. Well, I guess that was lucky too.”
Danbi spoke with a nonchalant expression.
“The freaks' actions are disgusting, but they usually draw the line somewhere. If you get screwed, you can just pay them back later, so there's no lingering grudges. That's what I like about it.”
The seasoned wisdom in her words made sense. Still...
“But after seven years, haven't you accumulated enough points to grant your wish?”
At Er's question, Danbi made an awkward face.
“I used a lot to cover tuition and rent... but I deliberately avoided spending them on the wish.”
“Why? Isn't that why you became a magical girl?”
“――Don't you think those fairies are suspicious?”
At Danbi's words, Er looked puzzled while my eyes widened.
“I'm only doing this to make money, so even when points pile up, I keep holding off. But something just feels off.”
“Off how....”
“......Forget it. I don't really know for sure either. ...But don't trust the fairies too much. I think the freaks are way more reliable than them.”
“That doesn't make sense! They do all those horrible things!”
“That's just how I feel. You don't have to think the same way.”
Danbi casually tossed aside the lamb bone she'd been gnawing on.
“More importantly, you guys are planning an escape, right? Count me in. I've got a report due next week.”
“Great. The more people, the better.”
“Ah, unni. There's someone I want to introduce to you——”
And just like that, a new comrade joined our escape plan.
“.......”
Am I really going back...? What am I even hoping for by doing this for someone like Cookie...?
Alpha, clad in a black leather suit costume, carefully advanced down the silent corridor.
I'd checked online, but this place didn't seem like a legitimate company.
Maybe it was a building specially prepared by the Mekrak side?
Is it really okay for something like this to just sit in the middle of the city?
Rumors had spread that the freaks' superscience had already taken control of the political and financial circles worldwide... Maybe it was true.
Strange creatures wandered around, and every so often I caught glimpses of human guards in black suits.
The thought of getting caught made my heart race for no reason.
I've got a sense of loyalty, so I can't just abandon her... Even Blue Moon once bravely jumped into a 100-to-1 situation to save a friend.
She got captured in the end, but used her beauty and every technique she had to take everyone down and successfully rescue her friend.
As a fan of Blue Moon, I decided to follow that example and move forward.
Let's see... The coordinates Cookie sent are just planar coordinates, so....
I'd probably have to check every floor one by one to find it.
Just as Alpha thought that and turned toward the stairs, it happened.
“Who are you?!”
Oh no?!
A flashlight beam suddenly lit up from the end of the corridor.
A large orc-like creature had passed by earlier, and its heavy footsteps were still echoing, so I hadn't noticed someone approaching.
“A woman...? What's with that outfit? A thief...?”
“Kuh...!”
Alpha charged straight at the man who was pointing at her and reaching for his walkie-talkie.
“Yaaah!”
She launched a flying kick infused with magic power.
The man in the black suit froze for a moment when he saw the intruder, who had been at the far end of the corridor, suddenly right in front of him.
Got him——
“Hmph!”
But the instant she was sure the kick would connect.
The man moved with surprising agility for his bulky frame, swatted Alpha's leg aside, and quickly ducked to dodge.
Alpha lost her balance in midair. The man grabbed her shoulder, then slammed her down onto the floor like a throw.
Her slender body was flung helplessly to the ground.
Thud!
“Kyaaang?!”
“Hmph. Don't underestimate this body, enhanced with Mekrak's technology. I can handle most magical girls. Just stay down and wait quietly, intruder.”
“Kuuugh...!”
Still in the position he'd slammed her into, the man twisted Alpha's arm into a joint lock and mounted her to pin her down.
“Hooh... But... a woman, huh....”
Shining his flashlight on the intruder pinned beneath him, the suited man swallowed hard without thinking.
Her sparkling blonde hair and fierce golden eyes. The ideal body lines visible beneath the skin-tight leather suit hugging her figure.
He had a walkie-talkie in hand. But if he called his colleagues, they'd all share this woman.
Besides, this building was full of Mekrak freaks. There were also experiment subjects starving for women sent by that Doctor guy.
If I just hand her over, I might not get a taste at all....
One perk of working here was that since it was Mekrak's business, there were no consequences no matter what you did. Especially if the target was a magical girl rather than a regular person.
But getting a hard-won prize snatched away by the freaks without even tasting it?
That would be too unfair to sleep over.
The man hesitated with the walkie-talkie. He'd already pressed the transmit button in a panic to report earlier....
[Zzt... Is something wrong? Respond.]
After a moment's hesitation, he spoke.
“This is the third floor. Nothing unusual. I was just startled by a cat that snuck in.”
[I see. Understood.]
The walkie-talkie cut off. No one knew there was an intruder here, or that the intruder was a woman.
There was surveillance footage, but if they'd seen him subdue her, they probably wouldn't care.
“Hehe... Then let's take it slow for a bit....”
“Ugh...! You pervert...!”
Alpha, completely restrained by the suited man, was dragged into a nearby room.
