Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"Then let me do it, little cutie. You won't blame me for stealing your prey, will you?"

Shaking her head, An Teng Meizi stuck out her tongue at her: "How dare I? If you hadn't intervened, I would have been kicked out by now."

"What a humorous little newbie, I like you. Don't worry, I'll protect you this time."

During the conversation, the Void King Snake, which was repelled by the samurai's contracted beast, raised its head again, and the black flames on its body erupted, and its scarlet eyes flashed with flames at the same time.

The cooked duck actually flew away after being attacked... It is not difficult to see that this Void King Snake is almost angry to the point of exploding.

"Sure enough, even if it's the Void King Snake, it's not easy to destroy it with this level of attack."

The purple-haired girl reached down with her right hand and turned it into her skirt, and took out a purple magic wand from the girl's absolute space.

This... is this thing conjured up or is it stuck there?

Seeing this incredible scene, Meiko Anten couldn't help but feel like complaining.

She pointed her wand at her own figure, muttering a spell that even An Teng Meizi behind her couldn't hear: "Add magic power, add speed."

Two consecutive rays of light shot out from the front of the wand and merged into the warrior's body from his back.

At the moment when the Void King Snake launched its attack, the human figure suddenly raised its head which was completely covered by the helmet, and the next moment... it disappeared on the spot.

From Meiko Anten's perspective, when the warrior figure appeared again, he had already arrived in front of the head of the Void King Snake.

"Did he put away his sword?"

The warrior grasped the sword in his right hand, which had been sheathed at some point in time, and pulled it out at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The whistling blade seemed to have the power to cut off anything that blocked its path.

Afterimages, cold light and the Void King Snake crossed each other, and when the warrior appeared again, he was already behind the Void King Snake.

It ignored the motionless Void King Snake, but simply wiped off the black flames on the sword and put the sword back into the scabbard with a "clang".

The Void King Snake, whose body seemed to be solidified, finally moved.

The next moment, a large amount of magic ether spurted out from three inches of its body like a gushing blood. The snake head slowly separated from the body and finally fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Looking at the smooth cut at the joint, Anten Meiko swallowed.

Although the purple-haired girl added two layers of buff to the Void King Snake, she was still able to kill it with just one strike, which scared her to the point of suffocation.

Is this too strong?

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Could it be that all magical girls except me possess this level of power? Then wouldn't it be too lowly for a newbie like me to be like this? Forget about the newbie bonuses, there's not even a tutorial.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to meet, how about we become friends? What's your name?"

"My name is..." Before Anten Meiko could say her name, Ruby reminded her in time.

[Master, when a magical girl is asked her name while in transformation, don't give her real name. Use a pseudonym or code name.]

Magical girls from different factions are different. Considering that she is a Brilliant Stone Magical Girl, Meiko Anten simply reported Ruby as her code name.

Ruby is the foreign name for ruby. The name Ruby might be a transliteration of it. In that case, my code name should be Ruby.

"My name is Ruby."

"Ruby, yes, my name is Xiphias."

【Huh? 】

What's wrong, Ruby? Is there something strange about her name?

[Her name is Swordfish? Sword? It seems to fit her contracted beast quite well.]

[Tsk, that's it? Don't scare me by saying something out of the blue.]

They could be considered friends after exchanging names, but was such a high-class beauty really something that a lowly magical girl like her could reach?

"Alright, even though the Void King Snake has been defeated, this place has been contaminated by the Demonic Aether. I still need to deal with it. Ruby, you can go back alone."

"Okay." Meiko Anten answered, and just as she was about to stand up, her feet stumbled and she lost her balance.

Her head felt like it had hit a very soft spot, soft enough to make her feel at ease.

When Sifias put her head closer, for some reason, Anten Meiko always felt that she could faintly hear the rapid breathing coming from her mouth.

"Oh, cutie, why are you so careless?"

"Sorry... I feel a little weak." In front of people who are truly capable, she always feels that she is acting a little inferior.

After adjusting his physical condition, he quickly left Sifias's arms and struggled to stand.

"It's okay, you'd better go back quickly. If you stay in the magic ether for too long with your current strength, something might happen." Sifias smiled and shook her head. She waved her wand and opened the door for Anten Meiko to return to the real world.

"Thank you." After thanking him solemnly again, Meiko Anten left through the door opened by Sifias.

【What a strange person.】

[Magical girls are more or less a little weird, Master, don't worry about it.]

【That's true.】

Volume 1: About the Time I Was Tricked into Becoming a Magical Girl: Chapter 25: It’s a Pity Not to Be a Detective

"No! Aren't you just saying I'm weird?"

I was supposed to be a boy but turned into a girl. This is a strange thing. So, I am actually a strange magical girl?

Sifias was considerate enough to open the door for her in a deserted place, but rather than saying so, in fact, everyone in the amusement park had already run away because of the Ferris wheel incident.

The transformation was lifted, and behind a tree that served as a cover, her body turned into ether until it returned from the shape of a loli to the shape of Meiko Anten.

"It's time to go back. Nanako and Fuko should be waiting for me."

They left the amusement park without staying here for long. When Fuko and the others saw Meiko Anten coming out of the main gate, they ran over worriedly.

"Meizi, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Behind her, the mother and son she rescued also came over to express their gratitude.

"Big sister! Thank you!"

"It's okay, I'm glad you're all okay."

Without further ado, the frightened mother and son left quickly after waiting for their savior to come out and thank them.

Looking at their backs, An Tengya smiled, a smile that she herself couldn't even notice.

Wasn't that her original intention? She simply wanted to save people for the sake of saving them, regardless of her identity or her beliefs.

But how does it feel to be thanked by the person you saved?

It was not until now that she understood that this might not be vanity, but that this kind of thanks was enough to awaken the original and purest conscience in a person's heart.

Perhaps from now on, she will change her mind about not planning to fight.

But even so, she didn't want to get involved in the battle... After all, it wasn't just other people's lives that were precious, she felt her own life was equally precious.

But before that...

[Okay, okay, don't be angry, Ruby.]

Ruby, the wisdom stick, had been angry since she came out of the void, and would "hum" at her head from time to time for no reason to express her presence.

But it's not her fault. After all, Meiko Anten promised to let her out to play for a while, and Ruby also kept her promise and stayed quietly for the whole morning.

Such a sudden incident ruined all the plans to take her out for fun, so it's normal for her to be dissatisfied.

[Actually, I was planning to give you a gift as compensation.]

【Eh? 】

"That's the doll. Why did you think I had to make three? One of them is for you."

[Eh! Eh!!! R-really?]

[Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you about something like this? ]

【Well, Master is so nice, hehe, thank you Master, what? Master still cares about me. 】

The speed of changing her face is so fast that it is not commendable. Of course, the reason why Meiko Anten hit three dolls was simply because she only had three bullets left.

And there was no plan to assign the third doll to anyone, but it’s great that the Ruby issue can be resolved peacefully.

Let's just treat this as a secret to be taken into the grave.

"In an amusement park that had never experienced any accidents, a Ferris wheel was suddenly destroyed. The video shows that the Ferris wheel's load-bearing shaft suddenly broke, and the excessive force caused the metal it was made of to be compressed and deformed."

Less than two hours after I got home, the TV station was already reporting on the Ferris wheel incident that had just happened.

The incident seemed to be treated as an accident, and fortunately no one was killed. Most of the injured were scratches from accidentally falling while escaping.

The entire process starting from the breaking of the Ferris wheel's load-bearing shaft was recorded by a mobile phone camera at a distance, but the heroic deeds of Meiko Anten were not recorded together.

This is also a good thing for her. After all, saving people is not for fame. If it is recorded and someone discovers her existence... she doesn't want her daily life to become more chaotic.

Standing up and walking towards the entrance, Meiko Anten happened to meet Fuko who was walking back to the living room from the bathroom.

"What's wrong? Want to go out?"

"Well, I'm going out for a walk and will be back before dinner. Please look after the house, Fuzi."

"Okay, be careful on the road." I said I was going out for a walk, but actually I had nowhere to go.

Maybe it was because every time she set foot on this road, it would activate her muscle memory. She had originally just planned to take a walk, but before she knew it, she had arrived at her school.

Why are there so many people here?

Not only is today a holiday, but even though it's almost dinner time, the whole school is still filled with students' laughter and joy. This in itself is very strange.

Is there some special event today? Or did I misremember my holiday time?

With such curiosity, Meiko Anten walked towards the school gate.

"Classmate, are you here to look for someone?" When a strange girl was about to enter the school, the security guard appeared in time and stopped her outside the door.

"Ah, well, I'm a student at the academy. I just passed by here and saw so many people, so I wanted to go in and take a look."

She looked down at herself and realized why the guard had turned her away.

Not wearing school uniform...

"I'm sorry, but without proof, you can't enter even if you're from this school."

"Is that so? Okay then." She didn't insist. It didn't matter to her whether she went in or not. She just wanted to take a look because she was passing by.

"Wait a minute." Just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice made her turn around subconsciously.

"Rei...Rei?" The person who called her was Rei Nakajima.

"Is this certificate of mine okay?" Li showed the card in her hand to the guard. After the guard took it and took a look at it, he stepped back from the door.

"Of course, classmate, please come in."

Although she didn't know why Li suddenly appeared in front of her at such an opportune moment, nor did she know why Li brought her in.

"Okay, now the security guard won't stop you. Come in."

"Oh...oh, okay, Ma...please."

But following behind Rei Nakajima, Meiko Anten didn't dare to ask anything.

"The certificate my homeroom teacher gave me was what I just showed the security guard. I'm glad to finally see you, An Teng Meizi."

"Eh... me? Do we know each other?" She was startled when she heard Li calling her name. She wanted to calm down but couldn't.

Putting aside the fact that Koichi Ando's confession was rejected three times, Meiko Ando had no contact with Rei Nakajima from the moment she entered school.

How...did she know me?

"Of course I don't know you. You're my partner, right? So I asked your homeroom teacher and she gave me a detailed description of what you look like. So when I saw you there, I knew it was you."

"Huh? That's pretty impressive."

There are at least 2,000 students in this school. It's incredible that someone can be identified based on the description of the class teacher.

It would be a shame if he didn't become a detective with such talent.
