Magical Girl's Sincere Defeat
Magical Girl's Sincere Defeat
Before I knew it, a month had passed since I came to this other world.
So many things had happened over the past month.
Starting at Level 1, it was tough to get by at first with all sorts of incidents, but thanks to exercising daily and building up my magic power through various events, I've become considerably stronger.
Surprisingly, consistent exercise raised my stamina and level a lot.
That morning, a new notification appeared.
*Ding.*
[Main Quest Generated]
[Find Silence]
Locate the evil organization executive 'Silence' who is operating covertly in the Academy's back mountain, and obtain information about the evil organization threatening Academy City.
Reward: Large amount of EXP / Magical Girl Staff
Failure: Worsening security in Academy City & accelerated world destruction
I stared blankly at the screen for a moment.
Finally, a proper main quest had appeared.
And they're only giving me a magic wand now if I clear it.
Is this my chance to escape being a Magical Girl (Physical)?
I sighed and closed the window.
The subquests I had been doing so far were the bridge leading to this main quest.
I had been doing the subquest to exercise daily on the Academy's back mountain for a month now, and tomorrow was the final day.
'I'll just exercise today, and tomorrow I'll have to go beyond the grounds.'
Since I had classes today, I decided to start the proper search the next day.
I headed to the back mountain for my morning exercise.
As usual, I climbed the mountain path, scanning my surroundings and checking for anything unusual.
After climbing up and down this mountain almost every day for a month, the path was now familiar to me.
As always, when I reached the summit, the subquest notification rang as if to inform me it was the last one.
*Ding.*
[Subquest Complete]
[30 Consecutive Days of Academy Back Mountain Reconnaissance]
Reward: EXP / Magic Power 2,000
At that moment, I saw a black shadow in the bushes.
"What are you?"
I tensed up for a moment, but soon relaxed.
A black Doberman was approaching, wagging its tail gently. Despite its large, sharp appearance, its eyes were very gentle and bright.
"...What, so it was you I kept seeing here sometimes?"
Whenever I came here, I always saw a four-legged animal watching from afar, so I just thought it was a stray, but it seemed this one had also been tamed by humans before.
When I reached out my hand, the Doberman approached without hesitation and licked it.
Its fur was soft, and I could feel its warm body temperature.
I naturally petted the dog's head.
Then, the Doberman slightly closed its eyes as if enjoying my touch.
"Good boy."
I played with him for quite a while before finally coming down the mountain.
After class ended, I returned home, showered, lay down on my bed, and searched on my phone about the back mountain.
Then, a picture of a Doberman popped up.
The Academy's famous attraction, 'Bis'.
A Doberman famous for understanding human speech well and being smart.
Many instances of helping lost students find their way or assisting in dangerous situations.
The Academy's unofficial mascot.
However, as there were no recent records, it seemed he now lived on the back mountain and was rarely sighted.
"...So he had a name?"
I remembered the dog's name from today. Then, I proceeded to look up information about the area beyond the warning sign.
[Academy Back Mountain Restricted Area]
-There are notices advising against entry due to frequent strange occurrences, but it doesn't seem to have been that dangerous. Mainly strange phenomena like memory loss, distorted sense of time, and hallucinations occur.
'Hmm... Since tomorrow is a day off, I should go beyond the Academy grounds tomorrow.
*****
I stopped halfway up the mountain.
In the distance, I could see a warning sign I had never crossed before.
[No Trespassing - Private Property]
-From this point onward is private property. Entry by outsiders is prohibited.
I let out a sigh and looked at the warning sign.
Even after climbing this mountain every day for a month, this was a place I had never been to.
Since I'd been everywhere except that place, the so-called 'evil organization' was probably there.
'I never even thought about going there because it said private property.'
But if people with suspicious purposes were there, it was actually a clever warning.
If it just said it was dangerous, some hot-blooded young psychic in their early twenties would definitely appear to cross it.
But if it says private property?
That number would probably be small, and it didn't seem like many people had actually crossed it.
Anyway, I crossed the private property warning sign and walked along the mountain path.
The mountain path on the unfamiliar part of the back mountain was more rugged and damp than I expected.
Even though it was clearly an uninhabited mountain path, I continuously felt someone's gaze on me.
Even when I turned my head, there was nothing, but the prickling feeling on my back didn't go away.
Two hours passed like that.
'Should I call it a day and go back? Not much to show for it.'
As no clues appeared no matter how much I searched, I started to think about heading back.
I was already quite tired from searching the mountain without even transforming.
Then, I saw a bench I hadn't seen before on a mountain path a short distance away. It was an old wooden bench, something I had never seen once while searching the mountain.
'What's that now?'
With my tired body, I walked over and sat on the bench.
The wood was softer and more comfortable than I expected, so I leaned back with a sigh.
But then.
Suddenly, the bench began to squirm.
"Huh?"
I instantly felt my body floating up. And in the blink of an eye, all the clothes I was wearing disappeared.
Simultaneously, a man's lower body sprouted from the bench.
*Thump!*
"Ugh!"
Something hard and hot plunged deep into my pussy in one go. The surprise insertion took my breath away. The man's cock that had sprung from the bench was filling me up completely.
I was momentarily flustered by the surprise insertion, but once I regained my senses, I struck the bench hard.
*Thud!*
The bench suddenly changed form and turned into a strange man.
It turned out he was a Shapeshifter. The man quickly tried to transform into something new and escape, but I, having already transformed, caught the bird and slammed it hard into the ground.
"Gack!"
The Shapeshifter finally returned to his human state and fell face down on the ground.
I stepped on his neck with my foot and asked in a low voice.
"What are you?"
The man panted as he answered.
"I was ordered to monitor the Academy from here!"
Right. Tell me who gave that order.
"Who gave the order?"
The Shapeshifter trembled as he spoke.
"Actually, I already called my superior... Since I told the truth, could you please let me go? I won't do this again...."
I ignored the guy's plea to spare him and was just about to knock him out.
At that moment, I felt an intense murderous intent from behind.
'Silence.'
Behind me, a man holding iron chains was attacking me.
He closed the distance in an instant.
The hem of his black coat cut through the wind, and the chains in his hand emitted an eerie light.
I immediately twisted my body and threw a punch, but Silence lightly dodged and kicked my arm away.
*Thwack!*
The shock reverberated to my bones.
I was pushed back and corrected my posture.
Even with the physical enhancement from my transformed state, his strength was greater than mine.
Silence charged again without a word.
The chains cut through the air, grazing and striking my body, and damage gradually accumulated.
I lowered my body to dodge and aimed a kick at his legs.
But he rotated his body in the air, dodged my attack, and then struck my abdomen with his knee.
"Grk!"
While I was momentarily breathless, Silence reached out his hand.
He extended the chains long to try and bind my body.
I quickly activated [Sacred Magic].
"Take this!"
A white Magical Girl laser beam flew toward his chest.
But the laser scattered and disappeared like smoke the moment it touched his body.
'Magic doesn't work on him?
"Hmm... Sorry, but magic-based attacks don't work on me?"
Silence's ability was to completely ignore magic-based attacks.
They had no effect on him.
And at that moment, Silence snapped his fingers.
*Swish—*
Minions jumped out from the surrounding bushes simultaneously.
Six in total. All of them were wearing black jumpsuits.
They surrounded me in unison and poured on the attacks.
Punches and kicks rained down from all directions.
I raised my arms and legs to block and tried to counterattack, but there were too many of them.
*Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!*
My back, side, thigh, shoulder.
I started to tire from the consecutive blows.
Minor wounds appeared, and my breathing became ragged.
I gritted my teeth and activated [Sacred Recovery].
"Recovery, you bastards!"
The wounds healed quickly.
But my magic power decreased sharply.
Fighting while using recovery was much more burdensome than I thought.
Silence was watching leisurely from behind.
He was bringing minions along to slowly wear me down.
"You damn bastards...!"
I drew out the maximum power of my transformed state, sent one flying, and broke another's arm.
But soon, attacks from other minions poured down again.
*Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!*
A strong impact hit my back.
My knees gave way and I knelt on one knee.
I kept using recovery, but the magic consumption was too fast.
My stamina was also gradually hitting rock bottom.
Silence slowly approached.
"You're holding out pretty well~."
His voice was frivolous and excited.
He raised his hand.
The minions retreated in unison.
The final blow came flying.
I raised my arm to block, but his fist avoided my defense and landed squarely in my abdomen.
*Wham—!*
"Gah!"
With a breath-stopping shock, my body flew backward.
I rolled on the ground a few times before collapsing powerlessly.
Fighting any further was meaningless.
Even if I attacked, it had no effect on Silence, and magic didn't work.
I had even expended a lot of magic power fighting while using recovery.
'To win... there's only this method.'
I spoke like someone who had completely given up,
"Please spare my life...."
Saying that, I began to take off my clothes, one by one.
"You can use my body however you want, just please spare my life...."
I prostrated myself.
Silence slowly approached and looked down at me.
"Kehehe... Then shall I do as you wish~?"
And so, I experienced my first sincere defeat.
