Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

With such a big commotion, no matter how hard Ando Koichi concentrated, he couldn't help but be affected. Therefore, he came back to his senses in an instant, looking at the black giant beast charging towards him with some horror.

He was just an ordinary high school student. It was impossible for him to withstand the destructive charge of a thirty-meter-tall monster. However, he couldn't escape at all. There was no building around him that he could use to hide or block.

"No...don't...ahhh!" He was frightened by the movement of the Void Beast and screamed miserably.

Just before the Void Beast's ferocious mouth was about to swallow Ando Koichi's whole body, the red phantom that he had seen before suddenly arrived and collided with him, completely sinking into his body.

Suddenly, a strange feeling surged in his heart, and all the fear was dispelled in an instant. At the same time, a force surged out of his body and gathered on his hands, forming a red mist that seemed to overflow and was visible to the naked eye.

He took a big step back to steady his body while shifting his center of gravity to his front foot. At the same time, he pulled his fist back to his waist and blasted out a punch like a cannonball.

The giant beast didn't know what was going on. It just felt dizzy and then flew backwards, crashing into the huge building behind it, turning it into ruins.

"Kouichi!" Sensing the movement here, Kiryu Haruno screamed. She was still fighting, but she instantly broke away and retreated rapidly.

Volume 8: The Evil That Strikes: Chapter 12: The Burning House

Kiryu Haruno nervously grabbed Ando Koichi's shoulders and carefully checked every part of his body. After making sure that he was fine, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and held him tightly in her arms.

Ando Koichi also reached out and hugged the girl. He said a little embarrassedly: "Um, I'm sorry, I lost your clothes."

"Idiot, you idiot, what nonsense are you talking about? Those worldly possessions are lost, so what matters most is your safety... I'm so glad you're okay."

"Well, I'm fine..." When he finished saying this, a feeling of exhaustion came from his body, followed by a sudden feeling of suffocation and deep sleepiness as if he had been staying up all night for three days and three nights.

Is it because of the inexplicable power I just used... What exactly is that power, and why did it drain all my strength?

The feeling was too strong for him to hold on. Before he could sort out all the things, sleepiness completely overwhelmed him and he lost consciousness completely.

"Hot... so hot..." In his sleep, a burning feeling filled Ando Koichi's whole body. He tore off the clothes on his chest, trying to make himself feel cooler, but it was in vain. Not only did the burning feeling not dissipate, but it became even stronger.

When he opened his eyes and vaguely saw his body being splashed by a cluster of flames, he shuddered and quickly stood up to extinguish the flames that had not yet completely ignited.

"what happened……"

When he looked around, he was stunned instantly. He never expected that he would find himself in a sea of ​​fire at this moment.

He tried hard to recall what happened before he fainted, but his memory only stayed at the moment when he fainted in Kiryu Haruno's arms after using some unknown power.

Koichi Ando didn't think that Haruno Kiryu would deceive him, nor did he think that she would harm him, so there must be a reason why he was here.

He stood up and continued to observe his surroundings. Judging from the burnt furniture, this should be the hall of a mansion.

And through careful feeling, Koichi Ando also discovered one thing. Although the body here feels hot, it is not hot enough to kill him, nor does he feel suffocated.

This is not something an ordinary person can do when he is in a sea of ​​fire. He didn't know what was going on, but he soon thought of his childhood sweetheart.

"Since magical girls exist in this world, then everything I see now should also be magic, right? Or maybe this is just a dream?"

But no matter what, the first thing to do when playing any game is to explore. Since he has realized that the fire here will not hurt him, he no longer has any worries and begins to explore this hall.

Almost all the furniture was turned into charcoal by the fire. No matter how hard you explore, you may not find any clues. At this time, you should go to another place to investigate.

He looked at the door covered in flames, and just when he was about to move over there, he caught a glimpse of something square that was reflecting firelight out of the corner of his eye.

"Is that a photo frame?" He reacted immediately and walked over to pick it up. There was still flames on it, but it really couldn't cause any harm to him. The only difference was that the photos in the frame had been burned and turned a little yellow.

This photo is obviously a family photo, but most of it is destroyed, except for a clear enough portrait of a young girl.

When Ando Koichi recognized the girl, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He murmured in disbelief, "Kiryu Haruno...this is Haruno's home?"

"Could it be... Oh no! Could it be that Haruno is also trapped here?" Ando Koichi immediately dropped the photo frame in his hand and ran towards the tightly closed door.

Because of the flames, the entire gate became very fragile and shattered into pieces with just a slight bump from Ando Hirokazu. He identified the direction and rushed to the second floor. After seeing the doorplate with the name "Haruno" hanging on the door, he rushed in again.

The eldest lady's room is decorated very delicately. The plush toys everywhere and the blue and pink main colors also reflect her little girl's girlish nature.

It's a pity that all of this seems pale and powerless in the face of the flames. The curled up sheets that were burned and the twisted plush toys that are no longer human-like can only make people feel terrified.

Kiryu Haruno was not in the room, which made him feel slightly relieved. It seemed that there was no one else in the room except him. Everyone must have gone to take shelter because of the fire.

Suddenly the whole mansion shook, and then there was a thunderous "boom" sound. I'm afraid it will collapse soon.

The flames seemed to cause no harm to him, which was something Koichi Ando had already confirmed, but this did not mean that the collapsed house would not crush him to death. Therefore, after confirming again that there was no one here, he hurriedly left the house that was completely engulfed in flames.

As soon as he took a step forward, the entire mansion collapsed after a violent tremor, unable to withstand the torture of the flames. A gust of hot wind pressure blew past, as if an invisible giant hand pushed him, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" He struggled to get up, stroking his knee which was hurt from the fall. However, the sudden movement made his heart tighten. He looked around, found a suitable shelter and quickly hid in it.

This is a small warehouse not far from the mansion. With the noise of the mansion collapsing, I guess no one should be paying attention here.

Through the crack in the door, Koichi Ando observed the outside. Several men in black wearing sunglasses walked in from the gate of the courtyard. As soon as they came in, they walked straight towards the small warehouse where he was.

"Don't come over, don't come over..." Perhaps Ando Koichi's prayers worked, and the man in black stopped at an open space not far from the small warehouse.

He observed the position occupied by several men in black. To be honest, this position was very delicate. It was just within the range where he could hear the voices, which was a great help.

"This time the Kiryu family is really finished."

"They really deserve it. It's their bastard daughter's fault for refusing to cooperate with us."

The content of the conversation of the man in black left Koichi Ando dumbfounded. This was the third time he was surprised in less than ten minutes.

Volume 8: The Invasion of Evil: Chapter 13: The Threat

According to what these men in black said, doesn't that mean they intend to use Kiryu Haruno's family to threaten her and make her work for them?

But Kiryu Haruno's parents are one high-ranking official and the other a wealthy businessman. No matter how you think about it, they should have captured Kiryu Haruno to threaten her family. How could it be the other way around?

No, could it be that these people are attracted by Haruno's magical girl identity?

This is not impossible. This world has the power of technology, and the existence of magical girls is definitely a power beyond this world. So it is not impossible for others to want to study or even use them.

"Hey, go to the warehouse and see if there's anything useful here."

"Why don't you go by yourself?"

"Just go when you're told to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The scolded man in black walked towards the warehouse while complaining, which startled Ando Koichi for a moment, but there was no place for him to hide in the entire warehouse.

He could only stand there blankly, leaning against the back of the warehouse, his muscles tensed, ready to escape or even fight.

There was a "clang" sound followed by a sharp sound of metal friction, and the heavy iron door was pushed open. Ando Koichi looked at the man in black who had taken off his sunglasses and was rummaging around. He didn't seem to see him.

The warehouse was a tiny place. Even if there was no light due to a power outage, it was impossible for such a large person standing there without being discovered, especially since the door was facing him.

He suddenly had an idea, and walked towards the man in black step by step without covering the sound of his footsteps, but there was no movement on the opposite side.

"Hey." He called out, but the man in black seemed not to hear him and continued to search in the warehouse, ignoring him.

He finally couldn't help but reach out to grab the man in black, but his palm went straight through the man's body as soon as it touched it. There was no real feeling of touching an object, as if it was a perfect holographic projection.

"No wonder he couldn't see me. So it's because I don't belong to this dimension? Wait... could this actually be Haruno's memory? Or a representation of the past?"

Koichi Ando was also confused about this. Could it be that the inexplicable red light entered his body and caused this phenomenon?

"I remember fainting in Haruno's arms, which means I must be dreaming now." He could only convince himself with this statement, after all, this was the first time he had experienced this.

The man in black walked out of the warehouse after rummaging through a lot of tools. He returned to his companions and threw everything in his hands to the ground as if to vent his anger, and there was a "ping-pong" sound of metal collision.

Those are some gardening tools, many large and small, and the most lethal ones are probably the lawn mowers and garden shears.

"What? Do you still want to use this thing to threaten the magical girl?" After realizing that he was just a movie spectator, Koichi Ando put aside all his worries and started to complain unscrupulously.

Originally he wanted to watch a good show, but soon his brows were furrowed.

A van drove up and stopped outside the mansion's garden. Five people were pushed out of the car at the opened gate. Their heads were covered with black plastic bags with breathing holes pierced in them, and their hands were tied behind their backs with ropes, like death row prisoners being taken to the execution ground to be shot.

The atmosphere became silent. Ando Koichi, who was just watching the show, felt much heavier in his heart. According to the conversation just now by the man in black, if he guessed correctly, these people must be Kiryu Haruno's family.

Anthao clenched his fists, but he did not go over. He just stood there and watched quietly, because this might just be a fragment of the past. Not to mention that this was something that had already happened, and he himself had no ability to change anything.

The five people covered in black plastic bags could not be seen clearly. After being threatened by the men in black in the car to get out, they were threatened by the men in black who had been waiting there with weapons to kneel down in front of the mansion which had become a ruin.

What an insulting scene this is. Not only did they burn down someone's house, but they also made the owner of the house kneel in front of the ruins of his own home. No one can accept this.

Not long after, a girl dressed in a dark purple dress fell from the sky and landed not far from the group of men in black. She was the protagonist of this episode, Haruno Kiryu, but she was in a transformation state at this time.

"You are too cruel." The girl gritted her teeth and angrily denounced the actions of the man in black.

"I've already said that as long as you agree to our request, we won't do anything to you. Unfortunately, you didn't agree, so we can only resort to some tricks."

"Little tricks? You call that little tricks?" Kiryu Haruno glanced at the house behind her which had become a ruin. Although she was not born here, that house carried many beautiful memories of her childhood.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. We have plenty of time to continue this conversation."

These men in black burned down his house and arrested his father, who was an official. Until now, neither the Self-Defense Forces nor the Metropolitan Police Department has sent anyone to look for him, and there has not even been any movement.

From this we can see that the identities of these men in black are definitely not simple. They have reached the level of covering the sky with one hand, which is simply terrifying.

Kiryu Haruno had no way to deal with this. The identity of a magical girl needed to be hidden, but she didn't expect that due to some mistakes, her identity would be exposed and known by these people.

These people took advantage of this to force me to work for them, wanting to use my magical girl power to do things that human power could not accomplish, such as sneaking into and killing people.

"There's no need to talk about it. I definitely won't..."

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a dull thud and a man whose face was covered by a black plastic bag was hit on the head and bleeding, and he died on the spot.

Kiryu Haruno's pupils shrank slightly when her speech was interrupted, because after the man in black knocked the man to death, another person walked up and took the plastic bag away.

The dead man's mouth was sealed with transparent tape, but that face was not unfamiliar to Kiryu Haruno, because she was one of the domestic maids in her family. When she was a child, she often asked her to tell her stories. It can be said that she was one of the people very close to her.

She died just like that, which made Kiryuu Haruno unable to accept for a while. She called the maid's name and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Volume 8: The Evil That Strikes: Chapter 14: Retribution

"I'll ask you again, are you willing to work for us?"

"I..." The girl clenched her fists. Compared to her initial rejection without hesitation, she felt a little more apprehensive in her heart. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and remained silent because she could not accept her own heart.

There was a "pop" sound, and the sound of a skull breaking was heard. Another person fell down. When her hood was taken off, something in the girl's heart seemed to be broken again.

The second person who was beaten to death was also an acquaintance of Kiryu Haruno, another maid in her family. Since she was only a few years older than her, they were of the same generation, so the girl actually had a good relationship with her.

"What are you doing?" The girl roared angrily at the beasts in front of her.

"You hesitated just now, didn't you? Also, you'd better not use your so-called magic, otherwise the next person you'll be separated from forever might be someone you can't accept."

The girl finally withdrew the magic that was already brewing. No matter how angry she was, she forced herself to calm down and think of a countermeasure.

There were five people whose faces were covered by black plastic bags, and there were a total of six people in their house including her. The two who died earlier were maids with whom she had a close relationship.

That is to say, among the remaining three people, one is the gardener who manages the garden for his family, and the other two are his parents.

Although she is a magical girl, she does not have any useful magic that can be used for the current situation. Therefore, when there are hostages on the opposite side, she dare not act rashly.

"Now you agree to work for us?"

She was clearly a magical girl, but like an ordinary person, she could only watch her acquaintances die without being able to do anything... No, if she were just an ordinary person, she would never have suffered such a thing.

For the first time, she questioned herself and felt disgusted with her identity as a magical girl. Why was she the only one who suffered so much?

Silence was also regarded as hesitation. When the leader of the men in black signaled his men to kill one more person, Kiryu Haruno's psychological defenses were finally broken.

"Don't do it, agree, I agree to do things for you."

However, the hammer still fell, shattering the man's skull, and his brain and blood plasma spilled out of the torn plastic bag, from which we can see how much force the man used.

"What a pity! If you had agreed sooner, maybe we could have saved him." The man in black opened the plastic bag. Just as Kiryu Haruno guessed, the third person who was knocked to death was indeed the gardener.

"But you should be thankful for your choice, otherwise the next one..."

Finally, the plastic bags on the two people's heads were removed. Although their eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth and their mouths were blocked, after living together for more than ten years, it was impossible for Kiryu Haruno not to see that they were her father and mother.

"Give them back to me."

"That won't do. Let's wait until you finish your work for us."

Ando Koichi walked to the side of Kiryu Haruno, and his posture was almost exactly the same as hers, both clenching their fists and looking at the black-clad boss with a kind smile on his face. He had never hated someone so much in his life.

Who would have thought that these scenes that only appear in TV dramas or movies would appear so vividly in front of me, as if I had witnessed them myself.

However, this journey of memory, which he was not sure whether it really happened, did not end with the girl's compromise. He became a complete witness.

The girl was exploited and used by that organization, and the magical girl's abilities that were supposed to protect the world became the executioner's butcher knife.

He witnessed a young girl transform from a righteous messenger protecting the world into a terrifying killer who kills without blinking an eye. Anyone who is an enemy of that organization will be slaughtered within a week.

The originally lively and cheerful girl's eyes gradually became empty. She was used to killing, but she never stopped doubting herself, life, and everyone in the world. In the end, she went astray.

Killing became her daily routine, and the girl went from resistance to acceptance, then to habit, and finally to enjoyment.
