Poor magical girls, work for me!

Hisakawa looked at Matsushima Yukio with a shocked expression.

He clasped his hands together and shouted.

"Thanks to Senior Yukio for introducing me to this super-rich boss!"

Ryosuke Miyagi gave a helpless laugh.

"Stop joking around and hurry up and clean up the mess. Someone will be here soon."

Will someone come over?

While they were still thinking, a flash of yellow light appeared before everyone's eyes, and two gold coins were thrown in front of them.

Snapped!

Everyone moved with remarkable precision, simultaneously reaching out to catch the falling gold coins. Then, silver coins were tossed into the air and caught in unison.

Ryosuke Miyagi looked at the pile of materials behind him.

The raid boss has been defeated. This completes the first phase. Everyone's strength should have slightly improved after this battle. After some training to digest this newfound power, and a few more battles, they should be able to complete the deal with the evil god.

He glanced down at the revolver in his hand.

This magical artifact was more effective than he had imagined. If he relied solely on Hikawa's chainsaw to break through the armor, the battle would probably not end so easily.

At least several people need to be injured before they can kill this monster.

All three bullets were used without any waste, and the front of his bus was even smashed to pieces.

It really takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury.

"Take everything that can be disassembled and take it with you."

Ryosuke Miyagi looked into the distance; small black dots were constantly approaching.

Nine times out of ten, it's someone from the Countermeasures Bureau, so let's get these things organized before they arrive. This time, we'll have to face these greedy guys head-on.

"Let's cut up the food and put it behind us. That pack of hounds is already here, like they've smelled their prey."

Upon hearing this, Hikawa, seemingly drawing strength from nowhere, jumped up, grabbed a chainsaw, and charged forward.

Matsushima Yukio followed, her ice crystals condensing into an ice blade as she began to cut away the parts that could still be preserved.

Momose Sena quickly stepped forward, but Nanatsuji Kirine was completely exhausted from using the barrier. Barely standing was her limit. All she could do was clench the two gold coins and six silver coins tightly in her slender fingers.

Momose Sena's eyes lit up instantly.

She took a deep breath, flames ignited on her fist, and began to help cut the most difficult parts.

Nanatsuji Kirion sat on the ground, watching the four people busy at work, a smile on her lips.

"Kiyone, aren't you going to pick something out?"

Ryosuke Miyagi walked up to her.

Nanatsuji Kirion shook her head.

"I...I've exhausted my spiritual energy, I can't move...and..."

She lowered her head.

"I almost dragged them down just now... If it weren't for Ryosuke-kun..."

Ryosuke Miyagi glanced into the distance again. The group of hyenas from the Countermeasures Bureau had stopped in the distance and showed no intention of coming over for the time being.

"You held out for six seconds of the ten-second barrier. Without those six seconds, we wouldn't have been able to execute the subsequent combo."

Nanatsuji Kirion raised her head and looked at his profile.

Under the moonlight, the face bore the weariness of battle, but the eyes remained calm.

"Ryosuke-kun..."

"Um?"

"……Thank you."

This time, her voice was soft, but earnest.

Ryosuke Miyagi did not answer.

Girls always like to say thank you; perhaps all the things they want to say are hidden in that thank you.

He simply watched the three girls dismantling the corpse. Perhaps Nanatsuji Kirion was different from them; she was a shrine maiden, while the other three were magical girls. He also needed to maintain a balance in the harmonious relationships among his employees.

Get up.

Ryosuke Miyagi extended his hand to Kirion Nanatsuji.

"Go see if there's anything you want. After all..."

He paused.

"You're part of the team too."

Nanatsuji Kirion stared at the hand extended in front of her for a second, stunned.

Then she grasped that hand and was pulled up.

The warmth of my palm.

……

Ten minutes later.

The remains of the rhinoceros beetle were cleaned up.

The main body of the black gold drill bit.

It is about one meter long and weighs as much as an anvil.

Shell fragments.

There were more than a dozen pieces of varying sizes, the largest of which was half a person's height.

Mechanical insect wings.

A pair, about three meters long when unfolded, as thin as a cicada's wing yet incredibly strong.

There were also a few bone spurs from the joints, some residual spiritual energy crystals, and a small bottle of "resentment residue" extracted from the core.

Although this thing is dangerous, it can fetch a high price on the black market.

Even if they don't sell for a good price, making them into some useful magical equipment can still save a lot of money.

"How do we divide it?"

Himawari hugged the largest piece of carapace, her eyes sparkling.

Ryosuke Miyagi walked up to the pile of materials.

"Don't divide them yet, that group of people is coming."

Following Ryosuke Miyagi's gaze, everyone saw seven black dots jumping around on the garbage mountain before finally arriving in front of them.

Ryosuke Miyagi turned around and looked at the seven black dots that were rapidly approaching.

In the darkness, those figures leaped and darted across the piles of abandoned metal, their movements so agile they seemed unlike ordinary people.

"They're here."

He said softly.

The four girls immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered around him.

Hikawa slung the chainsaw over her shoulder, her red ponytail fluttering in the night wind.

"Those hyenas from the Countermeasures Bureau?"

"Um."

Matsushima Yukio frowned.

"Were they just observing from a distance?"

"Yes. We'll come out after we're done fighting."

Momose Sena shrugged and subconsciously moved behind Miyagi Ryosuke.

Despite her weakness, Nanatsuji Kirion still gripped the gohei tightly in her hand.

Seven dark figures landed ten meters in front of them.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a gray uniform from the Countermeasures Bureau, with a squad badge pinned to his chest.

He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes, but when those eyes swept over the pile of materials behind them, a hint of undisguised greed flashed across them.

He was followed by six teammates, both men and women, all of whom were quite young.

But everyone's eyes were fixed on the carapace, bone spurs, and the huge black gold diamond.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

Only the sound of the night wind howling could be heard.

The middle-aged man spoke first.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

His voice was steady, with a businesslike politeness.

"I am Kenichi Sato, captain of the Third Mobile Unit of the Shinjuku Branch of the Countermeasures Bureau."

Ryosuke Miyagi remained silent.

He just looked at the other person.

That gaze was as calm as a stagnant pool, yet it sent a chill down Kenichi Sato's spine.

[Spiritual Warning] There were no warnings.

These people... are not a threat.

At least not now.

Kenichi Sato waited a while, and seeing that Ryosuke Miyagi didn't seem inclined to respond, he could only continue speaking.

"We detected high-intensity spiritual energy fluctuations here, confirming signs of activity from the vengeful rhinoceros beetle 'Kabuto Mushin,' so we rushed over to investigate, but we only recently issued a bounty..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the pile of materials once more.

"I didn't expect you all to have resolved it so quickly."

"Yes, it's resolved."

Ryosuke Miyagi's voice was very calm.

There's no need to be nice to this pack of hyenas.

"Now that it's resolved, we won't bother you any longer."

He turned around and winked at the four girls.

Pack your things and leave.

"etc!"

Behind Kenichi Sato, a young team member instinctively shouted out…
