LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 48
[Magical Girl HAZARD] may have a weird name, but this game was full of contradictions.
The girls who realized their dreams bloom their supernatural abilities with the first sparkle.
Receiving the gravitational pull of fate from the second light, the girls create the flow to decide their destinies.
Four strong girls with the third light build their domains to protect those girls.
If everyone unites their strength to defeat the monsters sent by the evil god, what remains is a future filled with happiness and dreams.
Excluding the curse of struggle or the traps of the mysterious red broadcast, the rules of this game are filled with kindness.
What could be the evil gods’ intent behind maliciously informing them of rules that could create such a virtuous cycle with just a little help avoiding traps?
Among the four magical girls with the third light, three are completely indifferent to most living humans, and the only thing they care about is leading humanity towards a cruel direction called [war]. What does that mean?
Could it be that the flow of everything is the author’s intent to consume the girls’ tears as entertainment?
Why did the protagonist Shikishima Yuki receive the empty throne of a world with only a few magical girls left without revealing the truth until the end?
Why did the evil gods silently vanish after the final trial?
I could never understand.

November 2nd
“Hikari-chan, cheer up~ Ah~”
“Ah…”
Hana poked a piece of tteokbokki with her fork and handed it to me, and I gladly accepted it and ate it.
I had brought Korean food I bought in Myeongdong and messaged Ichika and Hana to come and eat, then we had a meal together in the garden soon after.
‘Kyoko said she’s busy with the café.’
Bang!
Zoom!
In the distance, a sound cutting through the air echoed softly from the forest as we happily spread out our mat and mindlessly ate tteokbokki.
“Ichika always eats quickly and leaves…”
“Even on the day mom invited Kyoko and Ichika for dinner, Ichika finished in just 5 minutes.”
“That’s a habit that’ll lead to stomach issues later…”
“Hehe, Hikari-chan is sometimes so much like an uncle.”
“……”
Ichika had hurriedly eaten and was now practicing various kicking techniques in the forest.
‘Wouldn’t doing that when you’re full just lead to it coming back up…?’
Our secret space, nicknamed ‘Odaiba Magic Show’ garden, felt like a private room shared only among close friends, and we often gathered here during our free time.
“Hikari-chan~ I’m glad to see you after so long.”
“…Yeah, I’m happy to see you and Hana after so long too.”
After confirming the complete silence of the scavengers, we slowly began taking actions for cleanup and accident prevention.
The ambassadors from China and Europe, along with me, reached an agreement regarding the domain with the guarantees from [Cyber Brain] and the Supernatural Ability Task Force, and we decided to discuss the subsequent matters directly at the embassy or on-site.
During the leisure period that followed, I boldly approached [Dream] and [Sea].
The result was a total failure.
‘Jo Yeon-seo left for another country, and I didn’t even see Hong Na-yeon…’
Born 2-Star Magical Girl Jo Yeon-seo.
A kind magical girl of [Dream] who connected and communicated through the unconscious space of all living beings, protecting people with powerful sleep magic.
I went to investigate a hospital in Gyeonggi-do, the location in the original story where she protected people, but despite asking the patients there…
‘I came to find my friend; is there anyone named Jo Yeon-seo among the long-term patients here?’
‘Yeonseo? Ah~ Yeonseo’s friend, right!’
‘Yeonseo? I heard she was discharged in July and went to Russia with her grandfather.’
‘Huh.’
Born 2-Star Magical Girl Hong Na-yeon.
A magical girl of [Sea] who drove away monsters and plunderers from the beaches of Busan, using powerful elemental magic.
I went to Busan to meet her, having dropped out of school and wandered around the beach long before the original story, but…
‘Is there a student named Hong Na-yeon? From the Supernatural Ability Task Force…’
‘Go away.’
‘Huh.’
She didn’t even open the door.
I endured for 6 hours at the door, but just when nature’s call came and I went to the restroom, she completely vanished from home.
“I heard she’s always hated foreigners, so I asked Dorim to really issue me a Korean ID…”
“Hikari-chan… cheer up.”
Pat pat
Hana patted my shoulder with tteokbokki sauce on her mouth, and I used the cape of my magical girl outfit to wipe her lips.
“Hehe.”
“…Hana-chan, everything okay in Japan? Is the Master doing well?”
“Yeah! Kyoko recently got her barista license, and I praised her for being three times better than you, Hikari-chan.”
“Not that I was that bad, right?”
“Oh, and they broadcasted news for the magical girls to stop fighting!”
“…What?”
My heart sank.
Has someone admiring the scavengers come out while I was abroad?
If that’s the case, I need to receive a small plane from Dorim and return immediately.
“Ha, Hana-chan, what on earth…? Did everyone fight over a star or something?”
“Huh?”
“Oh come on, Sato, saying it like that just confuses me.”
Ichika, who had approached without me noticing, shook her head and explained.
“Just a bunch of magical girls wanting to stand out have increased drastically, so Fujimoto’s daughter sent a message to stop showing off.”
“Is wanting to stand out really that problematic?”
“Magical girls having surprise concerts in Shibuya and Shinjuku gathering hundreds of thousands of people, illegal racing events happening all over the country, and bizarre buildings being constructed, it’s complete chaos, I tell you.”
“Why are they acting like that…?”
“Suddenly, they’ve gained a huge power that can flip the world upside down, so how boring would it be to just be told to show off quietly! Competition! Competition is necessary!”
Hmph
Ichika pointed at herself and struck a cool pose.
“…Among them, I continue my nocturnal adventures!”
“In the end, you’re just another problem child.”
“No, no! Helping the weak with the power of a magical girl and sorting out mischief-makers is such a rewarding job!”
“Uh, Ichika’s just the same!”
Hana booed at Ichika with a hand trumpet.
By the way, it seems the prematurely blossomed magical girls are just causing trouble because they need a place to use their powers…
Hmm…
‘Should I maybe set up a sparring area and track in the garden for them to play around?’
Having the ability to protect themselves in dangerous situations like the recent scavenger riot would also be helpful.
With a nearly omnipotent healing magic, it’s possible to just give them a vacant open space to play, but…
‘As the owner of this garden, I can use large-scale illusion magic where reality is indistinguishable, so there’s actually no need for that.’
If they need a place to cause a ruckus, I can just create an illusion space that looks exactly like the real deal.
Having even one out of a hundred magical girls experience and get used to a real fight could be a significant help in the future.
The idea of magical girls competing in such a chaotic environment dawned upon me like a nightmare, something I hadn’t considered before…
“I’ll talk to Fujimoto-san later about hosting some competitions or whatnot.”
“Wow! A magical girl competition! That sounds incredibly fun!”
“Ooh, my fists are starting to tingle.”
“You should have a conscience… born 2-stars should play among themselves.”
“Eh… last I checked, there were barely 20 confirmed in Japan…”
“I also plan to formally set domain policies with China and Europe soon, so I’ll mention it to them as well.”
“Ooh, a global magical girl combat tournament? I’m so hyped!”
Seeing Ichika’s eyes sparkle, I couldn’t help but smirk.
“I don’t know how many will join just by offering a decent prize, but at least it could turn into a fun neighborhood sports day or battleground.”
Most magical girls are just ordinary girls after all.
I guess if a training ground and fight tournament were set up like this, it would just see oddballs like Ichika participating.
“Ugh… it sounds like it would be more intense than I thought…”
“Haha, Hana-chan, really… there aren’t that many people who want to fight like that; the kids in Japan are just frustrated and whining.”
While planning to casually drop this story to the governance of each magical girl domain, I stood up.
“Well then, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Ah… did you say the Chinese magical girls called to discuss domain issues?”
“Yeah, technically, it’s with the embassy.”
“Hikari-chan! You got this!”
Clap
Hana and I high-fived.
What impression will the Chinese magical girls give me?
I’m excited to go see the kids that Dorim and I helped out.
＊
“The Chinese magical girls will never bow their heads.”
“Hahahahahaha…!”
“…Dorim, hold back, no punching!”
