Poor magical girls, work for me!

Ryosuke Miyagi stood up.

The last rays of the setting sun are disappearing, replaced by the deepening darkness of night.

"Then, prepare for action!"

Before he could finish speaking, the phones of Matsushima Yukio, Momose Sena, and Hisakawa Homura all started vibrating.

The three of them took a look.

They all looked up at Miyagi Ryosuke.

"Ryosuke-kun, there's new information about that Kabuto warrior. A bounty has been issued."

"A bounty?"

[Having those extremely stingy guys issue bounties, something completely out of control must have happened to Kabuto.]

"The Countermeasures Bureau detected abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations near Yoyogi Park. The vengeful rhinoceros beetle codenamed 'Kabuto Mushin' is preparing to leave its shrine and intends to move towards the city."

Ryosuke Miyagi's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Move towards the city center?"

"Yes."

The three of them simultaneously raised their phones and placed them in front of Ryosuke Miyagi. A red dot appeared on the map on each of their phones.

"Based on its current trajectory, it is likely to enter the bustling area of ​​Shinjuku within half an hour, so the authorities have offered a reward."

Are there any other magical girls taking on bounties?

Ryosuke Miyagi's biggest worry is that someone else will interfere in his battles, making his chances of winning uncontrollable.

All three shook their heads in unison.

Currently, no magical girl team has appeared, and no single magical girl is strong enough to defeat it alone.

This rhinoceros beetle is equivalent to a large-scale raid instance.

In the room, four pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

"What do we do now? Should we take the initiative or wait and see?"

Hikawa asked.

"Don't wait any longer. That rhinoceros beetle is only thinking about how to fight. The fact that the big guy can move and leave the shrine means it must have found something that will benefit its growth. We have to stop it when it leaves Yoyogi Park."

"What are we waiting for!" Hikawa grabbed a chainsaw. "Go stop it!"

"etc……"

Matsushima Yukio stopped her and looked at Miyagi Ryosuke.

"Ryosuke-kun, should we accept the bounty from the Countermeasures Bureau?"

"Why not take it if there's extra pay?"

Ryosuke Miyagi walked to the window and opened it.

The night breeze blows in, carrying the unique hustle and bustle of the city.

In the distance, the neon lights of Shinjuku have begun to flicker.

In that bustling area, there are countless office workers leaving get off work, students shopping, couples on dates, and shops still open for business.

Those people know nothing.

They didn't know what kind of path they were on.

Ryosuke Miyagi turned around and looked at the four girls.

"Are you ready?"

In an instant, Hikawa transformed, raising her hand to hoist up the chainsaw, her red ponytail fluttering in the night wind.

...

"Everything was ready long ago!"

After Matsushima Yukio finished speaking, she clasped her hands together, and a flash of icy blue light appeared, instantly transforming her into a magical girl in battle.

...

"Chan body."

Momose Sena took a deep breath, and flames shot up from beneath her feet, forming a crimson magic top and tactical skirt in the light.

...

"I won't... hold anyone back anymore."

Nanatsuji Kirion gripped the gohei tightly in her hand, and the pale golden wheat ear pattern on her forehead slowly appeared.

"Lord Inari, please bless us."

...

Ryosuke Miyagi looked at them.

Four pairs of eyes, four different lights.

But the same thing is burning inside.

He stretched out his right hand, and black slime wrapped around it, solidifying into the Witcher's Handbook.

Turn to page four.

Ryosuke Miyagi closed the handbook.

"Walk."

He pushed open the window and stepped down!

"null!"

The ground beneath my feet turned into a bus door, click!

The doors opened, and the four people got off and boarded the bus!

The screen rotates! The character lands upside down!

My feet landed firmly on the bus floor!

Ryosuke Miyagi is becoming increasingly adept at using the "bus spirit" technique.

The driver glanced at them in the rearview mirror and nodded slightly.

"Master, destination?"

"In Shinjuku Ward, near Yoyogi Park, I caught up with that rhinoceros beetle."

The driver pushed down the control lever.

Please fasten your seatbelt.

The night view outside the window began to rush past.

A yellow flash streaked quickly through the city.

faster and faster.

Finally, it turned into a blurry shadow.

……

Five minutes later.

The bus was parked in the shadow of an abandoned complex of buildings.

The car door opened, and five figures "walked" out from the wall, returning to their normal size.

The night breeze carried a faint smell of rust.

In the distance lies the edge of Yoyogi Park.

The once lush forest has now been replaced by a bizarre scene.

Huge piles of scrap metal formed small mountains, rusted steel bars intertwined like vines, and abandoned excavator buckets were transformed into some kind of strange building structure.

In the center of that pile of waste.

It is a "shrine" built from metal and garbage.

Two crooked iron pillars serve as a torii gate, with a rusty iron plate hanging on top. Faintly visible are a few lines of painted characters: Kabuto (飲武神).

Matsushima Yukio frowned.

The waste still bore traces of engine oil, paint, and even dried blood. The air was thick with a pungent chemical odor mixed with the stench of decay.

Momose Sena's face paled, but she didn't say anything, only clenched her fists.

Nanatsuji Kirion took out the stack of talismans from her cloth bag and began distributing them one by one.

"Wearing this on your body can ward off the corrosive influence of resentment. The resentment here is too strong; staying here for too long will make you dizzy and nauseous."

The four people took the talisman and stuck it on the inside of their collars.

Ryosuke Miyagi did not post it.

His spiritual alertness helps him perceive danger and also helps him resist a certain degree of negative states.

and......

He looked up at the "shrine" made of piles of waste.

Something was moving in the shadow of that pile of metal.

A pair of eyes.

A pair of huge eyes that glowed with a dark red light.

Those eyes were staring at them.

"It knew we were coming."

Ryosuke Miyagi's voice was calm.

"Prepare for battle."
