Magical Girl of Chaos: Magical Rampage

“Did you get scouted again?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, you do have looks that could rival most celebrities.”

“Shut up.”

Lately, I’ve been feeling annoyed and holed up at home.

The reason? Whenever I go out, three out of five people try to recruit me into some weird entertainment agency or something.

Or modeling.

Anyway, that’s why I’m annoyed.

Clearly, in autumn and winter, there were no offers, but as soon as spring and summer roll around, it starts again.

Probably because with more skin showing, I stand out more.

“Ah~, these days, drinking whiskey like this is my only joy~.”

“You really sound like an old man.”

“Shut up.”

“Meow.”

“Don’t even think about touching alcohol.”

By the way, time seems to fly by these days.

Lately, I’ve gotten used to Pretty Heart and Gravity visiting, and everything feels like a familiar routine.

That’s why, even though each day felt quite long before, now it feels like… time is passing quickly.

“Meow. Nyan.”

“Don’t cling to my arm…”

“Meow.”

This Max guy… he’s being unusually clingy today.

I should flip him over and scratch his head.

Otherwise, he’ll keep doing this.

“By the way, it’s already summer.”

“Already?”

“For me, it is.”

If it’s already like this, what will happen when I really have nothing to do?

If I had a hobby that could keep me occupied for a long time, or something I could keep moving around doing, it would be different, but right now, I don’t have anything like that…

If only I could sit and play games for a really long time, I wouldn’t have to worry about life.

“By the way, sis.”

“What?”

“Ever since you made that… mana sword? Training seems to have gotten tougher. Did something happen?”

“…You don’t need to know. But I trained you as usual, was it strange?”

“Yes. It felt like the training was overall more intense and faster.”

“Hmm… Really? I’ll think about it.”

“Okay~.”

She usually doesn’t say much during training, but she said that…

Does that mean my specs suddenly jumped?

Well…? My growth rate has been at its lowest since becoming an adult, so there shouldn’t be such a sudden big difference…

Besides, when I checked, there was nothing unusual.

Then what’s the problem?

“What’s wrong, Rampage?”

“Huh? No… Ayun suddenly said my training got tougher. As you know, my growth rate has been scraping the bottom since I became an adult, right?”

“Hmm~…! Then maybe your mana efficiency has improved a lot?!”

Mana efficiency? …Thinking about it, my efficiency has been better lately, but could it really change so suddenly?

But if that’s the only explanation for this level of change, then it must be it.

“Efficiency… Does it really differ that much suddenly?”

“Rampage, when you went on a rampage back then, maybe that activated your 「Concept」! It’s just a guess though!”

“…True, it was the first time my emotions went so out of control that I couldn’t handle my Third Ability after it first bloomed.”

Who would have thought Sis and Clock Hands would become witches?

Ha… Just thinking about it makes me angry.

Having to kill my dead comrades with my own hands again, what a sick joke…

[Sis!!]

…What, why is Yura suddenly sending me a message?

[What?]

[There’s something really weird in the sky!!]

……Something weird in the sky…?

What is it…

Well, just in case, I should tell her not to get too close.

[Stay away from it for now. And where are you?]

[The alley next to the cafe!!]

[Okay. Come back for now.]

The alley next to the cafe… There’s only one cafe with an alley.

Alright, I need to go see what’s happening this time.

“Chubby.”

“Yes!”

“There’s a report of something weird in the sky.”

“…Huh?”

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, yes!!”

First, as a magical girl… transform.

By the way, Yura really explains things weirdly…

Well, at least describe it a bit, just saying there’s something weird?

Anyway, I opened a [Gate] with Chubby to the place Yura mentioned.

As we came out through the [Gate], I found something really strange.

Indeed… I can see why Yura called it ‘something weird.’

“A crack in the sky…”

“Eek?!”

The ‘something weird’ was a crack in the sky.

To be precise, it’s just a fissure for now, but in this world where magic doesn’t exist, it’s something unimaginable.

Such a phenomenon shouldn’t even be possible.

“But here, something seems to be leaking from the crack?”

“Really? I’ll take a closer look!”

But this… I feel like I’ve heard of it before…

……Wait, this is…! I need to stop Chubby from getting close!

“Chubby!”

“Yes? Eek?!”

“Go call the Fairy Queen right now!”

“Bueek?!”

Suddenly realizing, I grabbed Chubby, who was about to approach the crack, and threw her into the [Gate] behind us.

If my thoughts are correct… this is it.

That thing from long ago, which forced the separation of the Fairy Realm.

Back then, it was on a much larger scale, but this is just the size of a palm now.

So… this time, it can be handled by the Fairy Queen without much trouble.

“First… a barrier.”

I don’t know what’s leaking from that crack, but if my guess is right… mascots touching it would turn into monsters.

I don’t know what would happen if I, a magical girl with a fairy body, touched it, but for now, it’s fine.

I touched it slightly earlier, and it just turned into smoke and dust.

Is it because, even though I use cells, my structure is fundamentally different?

Or is it the difference in crystal stones?

“Rampage.”

“You’re here, Fairy Queen?”

“This is… a crack in the sky.”

“Yeah. I put up a barrier for now, but can you handle it?”

“Yes, I can. There are things passed down only to the Fairy Queen. One of them is… removing ‘dimensional cracks.'”

“That’s a relief.”

Then she can properly handle this crack.

That’s a relief.

Just hearing about the tragedy of the Fairy Realm is horrifying, and if it happened here…

“…It’s done.”

“Already?”

“It’s a small crack. The crack from that event in the distant past was on a completely different scale, so it can’t be compared.”

“I see…”

Well, that one shook the entire Fairy Realm…

And back then, the Fairy Queen sacrificed herself to separate the dimensions, right?

“…Seeing this reminds me of that time.”

“What time?”

“Actually, Pandora… also found something like this once.”

“Really?”

“Back then, it was a much larger crack, but thankfully, I handled it before it spread. After that, Pandora started acting strange. Even though she didn’t change much, who would have thought she’d suddenly change so drastically…”

“……”

Pandora saw this too…

But she started acting strange after seeing it?

…Why did she change?

There’s no reason for her to change so drastically.

“Maybe she was fascinated by it, or saw something… only she knows. She didn’t say anything.”

“I don’t know. I’ll just kill everyone in the Demon Realm.”

“…Well, that’s fine for now. The Demon Realm is a dimension that shouldn’t exist.”

Then I can just do as usual, right?

The Fairy Queen doesn’t seem to have much to say, so I guess it’s fine to proceed.

“By the way, these dimensional cracks… they seem to follow us suspiciously.”

“Follow us?”

“Yes. Dimensional cracks always appear where the Demon Realm is targeting. They’ve appeared several times, big and small… as if there’s some intention behind them.”

“So as long as the Demon Realm is trying to invade here, these dimensional cracks will keep appearing somewhere?”

“That’s right. But, this is the first time it’s appeared so late. It’s been 20 years…”

“How often did it happen before?”

“Back then, from human-sized to building-sized… they appeared quite frequently within about 5 years of the invasion starting. Without missing a single place.”

“But here, it’s too late…”

“Every time… the average size is getting smaller, so it seems they’re losing strength. It’s just a guess, but given the trend, it’s probably correct.”

According to the Fairy Queen, there’s no need to worry too much?

Just make sure the mascots don’t get close to the cracks, and call the Fairy Queen as soon as they’re found.

Well, just in case, maybe I should learn how to close dimensional cracks from the Fairy Queen.

“Fairy Queen. I’m a Fairy Queen candidate too, so can I learn?”

“……Indeed, there’s no rule that only the successor needs to know.”

“Then please teach me.”

“Alright. If another crack appears, call me immediately. I’ll teach you while closing it.”

“Okay.”

Now I can close dimensional cracks without calling the Fairy Queen.

If these cracks appear simultaneously, it would be a burden for the Fairy Queen, so the more people who can handle it, the better.

So I think at least the fairy magical girls who qualify to be Fairy Queen should know.

…I wonder if Hatred can learn it.

“Hmm… With Rampage’s level of mana control and manipulation, you should be able to learn it easily.”

“Really? All that training paid off.”

“Most people don’t train that much. To be honest, Rampage, you’re quite abnormal.”

“Really?”

“I’ve trained in that space too, but I never went without sleep or food like you did.”

“…Really?”

Uh… was I really that abnormal…

But if I’m training, I don’t want to do it half-heartedly.

Well, I’ve been doing it this way, so there’s no need to slack off now.

“Then I’ll head back.”

“Okay. I’ll head back too. If there’s anything else you want to learn, come find me. Oh, and by the way, the new game console and software…”

“…Got it. I’ll buy yours too, so don’t worry.”

“Please do~.”

That Fairy Queen… she’s really into modern gaming.

Most of her days are boring, so I can understand, but…

“Meow.”

“Max. Don’t jump on me as soon as I get back.”

Anyway, after confirming the Fairy Queen left, I went back home.

As soon as I got home, Max spotted me and immediately jumped onto my shoulder.

Why has he become so attached to me, really…

Well, he’s cute, so it’s fine!

“Ah~…”

“What, were you playing with him?”

“Yes…”

…I feel bad for Diamond Dust.

But since I already feel bad, I’ll get a bit more healing, so you go to your room or something.

Shoo shoo.
