Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

The black whip brushed against the red light, and the whip hit the ground, leaving a crack in the ground. Ando Koichi widened his eyes. He didn't expect that he would have the power to withstand such an attack.

It seems that the scene where I knocked down a giant beast that was dozens of meters tall was not a dream. This was the second time that this actually happened to me.

Not only was Ando Koichi stunned, Kiryu Haruno was also stunned. She had no idea why Ando Koichi could exert such power in her magic.

The young man was the first to come back to his senses. He bounced up like a spring, took a step forward and punched out like a cannonball. The heavy blow landed heavily on Kiryu Haruno's lower abdomen, knocking her back instantly.

It smashed the electric pole behind it, smashed the outer wall, and crashed into someone else's house. With a wave of impact, the whole house collapsed because it could not withstand such an impact.

"Ah, hold... I'm sorry... Are you okay?"

"Hehehe." A sinister laugh echoed from the ruins. A surge of magical energy erupted, sweeping away all the debris around Kiryu Haruno. "You really surprise me. You can even wreak havoc with my magic."

The girl's combat uniform disappeared, replaced by a layer of black scales. She had a long, thin tail trailing behind her, and a gray horn with a forked tip on one side of her forehead.

That appearance made her look nothing like she had merged with a lizard, but rather like an anthropomorphic black dragon.

"That's it!" The next moment, her figure shot out like an arrow, turning into a black light and shadow and rushing straight towards Koichi Ando.

Faced with such an imposing girl, Koichi Ando suppressed the fear in his heart. He wanted to escape but could not. The combat experience in his subconscious told him that he must never expose his weaknesses and back to the enemy. Retreating without a fight means death.

Since he possesses this power, he also has the ability to resist. Even if the chance of survival is slim, he will try his best to fight for it back.

The red light on his hand did not dissipate because of that blow. He took advantage of the momentum and punched out again. However, the moment the red light came into contact with the black shadow, Ando Hiroshi only felt a huge force coming, and his entire right hand was torn into pieces.

Severe pain surged into his brain, forcing him to cover his bleeding limbs and scream loudly. The pain was so severe that even his body couldn't help but twitch.

"It's over, suffer death!"

However, he did not compromise with Kiryu Haruno because of his injuries and pain. He stood up shakily and leaned against the outer wall behind him.

"I don't know why you have such resentment towards me, but... I will live on, I will definitely live on... My life will not change because of you, nor will it disappear because of you!"

Ando Koichi gritted his teeth and stared ahead, looking at the long whip that was about to split him in half, his eyes fixed on it without even blinking.

Volume 8: The Invasion of Evil: Chapter 18: The Nun

"Master, what you said is so good. This is the kind of momentum we need. My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of others or God!"

The ball of liquid gathered and took shape in the air, and finally became the cute loli with magenta twin tails that Koichi Ando had seen in the amusement park.

"Wait, this isn't more than 02011080. Can't you just..."

The loli stretched out her delicate and tender hand, and before Ando Koichi could remind her anxiously, the seemingly weak and boneless little hand firmly grasped the black whip.

"Master, you don't have to pay any attention to that bad woman. My body, my soul, everything I have belongs to you. Please use me as you like!" Loli didn't look back and laughed as if she was saying something ambitious.

"You bastard, stop meddling in other people's business!" Kiryu Haruno was anxious and wanted to kill the loli who was standing in front of Ando Koichi.

Before that, Ando Koichi's big hands had subconsciously pressed on Loli's shoulders, and a large amount of information that was blocked in his subconscious returned and poured into his mind.

He and Sakura Fuko returned to the void world together through the space channel, but they were hit by a sudden lightning strike when they were about to leave the space channel.

The two separated at the exit of the space channel. With his help, Sakura Fuko successfully moved along the original path, while she was guided by some force to land in another place.

But things did not end there. After falling into the void world, before he could react, he was hit by an extremely special magic without any preparation.

Then her mind and memory seemed to be sealed off, and she entered this special illusion space... or perhaps a dream space.

"It's just an illusion, break it for me!"

A red light burst out from the twin-tailed loli's body, quickly filling the entire world like the rising sun, and the next moment the red light turned into white light, completely submerging Ando Koichi and Kiryu Haruno.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, everything disappeared. He was surrounded by a world dominated by dark yellow, with ruins and debris everywhere, as if a fierce battle had taken place.

Stretching out his hand and looking at his palm covered with a red halo, he finally regained consciousness and memory: "I... I am Ando Meiko? That's right, I am Ando Meiko, I am the magical girl Ruby..."

Not sure if she was confirming or trying to convince herself, she kept repeating this sentence in her mind until she completely calmed down.

"Master, be careful!"

The reminder made Ando Meiko immediately alert. She clenched her right hand into the air and summoned the Flame Sun Sword, sweeping it backwards.

With a loud metallic sound, Ando Meiko was blasted backwards, and even the legendary magic weapon, the Flame Sun Sword in her hand, was shattered into pieces and turned into magic power and completely dissipated.

When she thought that the "evil ghost" was angry and wanted to attack her, she looked up and saw a blonde girl in black nun's clothes waving a pair of golden fists and walking towards her with an angry face.

Meiko Anten was no stranger to this person. She was the leader of the American magical girls and "Sister" Marilyn, ranked sixth among the top ten most powerful magical girls.

"Wait a minute... Sister, what are you doing? We are not enemies, are we?"

"Ruby, you little brat! As a Japanese magical girl, it's fine if you just wander into other people's territory, but you actually dare to wreak havoc here? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have some achievements?"

Marilyn spoke Japanese, and even though there was a slight accent, the general meaning was still understandable. It seemed that she had indeed misunderstood something.

"Wrong..." Before An Teng Meizi could answer, an infinitely magnified golden fist came towards her.

Such fierce momentum and unrestrained power were aimed at seriously injuring her. Even if she was misunderstood, she could not sit still and wait for death.

"In that case, Sister, I'm sorry."

The Star Flash form suddenly switched, and red dragon energy surrounded her fists to form dragon patterns wrapped around her hands. With the help of the dragon energy, the advanced version of the body strengthening magic, Dragon Transformation, was also released at the same time.

Facing the attack from one of the strongest, Meiko Anten did not retreat. She took a step forward and threw a punch to counter force with force, intending to confront the opponent's strongest attack head-on with her strongest attack.

The two fists, one gold and one red, collided violently and separated immediately. Both of them were knocked back by the extremely heavy reaction force, and their feet left a deep groove in the ground.

What shocked Anten Meiko was that she did not hold back at all in this attack, and used the strongest attack after she turned into a dragon, but it was blocked so easily by the opponent.

But Marilyn was even more shocked. She knew that Meiko Anten was very strong. At the level of an advanced magical girl, she participated in a battle that even a super-level magical girl would find difficult.

But she never expected that she could offset her own attack by using force against force. What kind of power is this?

After looking at An Teng Meizi again with shock, Marilyn raised her eyebrows slightly. She sensed the aura of the former: "You... advanced?"

"Well, it almost cost me my life."

After the exchange of blows, the irritable nun calmed down. She knew, of course, that An Teng Meizi would never do such a thing, but she suddenly had the idea of ​​testing the other party's strength in her mind, and she got carried away for a moment.

Marilyn shook her numb arms and sat down on a piece of rubble behind her. "Little guy, tell me what's going on."

Meiko Anten nodded, fearing that the nun would attack her again, so she immediately told her about how she was attacked after returning from the secret realm of familiars, and about the "evil ghost".

"This piece of shit is really everywhere. It even came to America to stir up trouble." The magic power burst out from the nun's body and instantly swept across the surrounding area for an unknown number of kilometers.

The powerful magical pressure made Anten Meiko feel a little suffocated. If the nun attacked with all her strength, she would probably not be able to resist it even if she used the field compression magic.

Although my combat power is slightly stronger than that of the magical girls of the same class, there is still a big gap compared to these older generation magical girls. But that's understandable. After all, I need the power of the World Sword to defeat a Void Beast that has just advanced to the god level.

While An Teng Meizi was thinking to herself, Marilyn had already quickly retracted her magic power. She punched the ground as if to vent her anger: "As expected of a dog, she's more eager to eat dog shit than anyone else, and she runs away faster than anyone else when she encounters a stick."

Meiko Anten was speechless at the nun's crude metaphor. Wasn't this metaphor equivalent to describing herself as dog shit?

Volume 8: The Incoming Evil: Chapter 19: Militarized Management

Marilyn glanced at Ando Meiko and noticed that her expression was a little unnatural. She snorted coldly and said, "Why? Do you have any suggestions?"

She naturally knew that her wording was a little inappropriate, but this woman was used to being strong and had no intention of taking back what she had said. Of course, Ando Meiko knew her character and would not complain or hold a grudge against her for this.

Ando Meizi repeatedly waved her hand and smiled, "Uh, no, absolutely not, Sister Senior, I was just wondering if I could leave now that there's nothing for me to do."

"Of course." Marilyn gave a friendly smile, but then her face hardened again and her voice was firm, not allowing anyone to refuse, "No."

"Ah, this..." This made Ando Meiko, who was about to leave, stumble and almost fall to the ground. "Sister, what do you mean by this?"

"This matter concerns you. According to the procedure, you must report to us, and then we will send a connecting flight to take you back to Japan. Otherwise, do you plan to fly back by yourself?"

Meiko Ando nodded awkwardly. Marilyn was right. She really wanted to fly back to Japan directly in this void world.

At her current flying speed, it is not much slower than a fighter jet. Even if she flies around the entire earth, it will not take more than a few hours.

But the key point is that she didn't know where she was in the United States, nor did she know how far away Japan was. It would be better to follow the nun than to fly randomly.

Marilyn didn't hesitate. After deciding Ando Meiko's itinerary without authorization, she turned around and left without even saying goodbye. She bounced several times towards one place to gain momentum and disappeared in an instant.

"Sister, please wait for me!" Meiko Ando, ​​who was still in the Star Flash form, also burst out with considerable speed and caught up with Marilyn in just a few seconds.

"Yes, it's quite fast. You're quite capable to be able to catch up with me."

"Sister, I'd like to ask what year, month, and day it is now?"

Marilyn thought for a moment, then stated the current date using Japan as the time zone, which caused Meiko Ando to fall into a brief silence.

The two came to an empty camp, left the void world in a secret place, and set foot in the real world again. Breathing the air that was somewhat polluted by the city, Meiko Anten felt nostalgic.

She and Sakura Fuko left this world at the full moon. They originally wanted to use the power of the great will to go to the secret realm of familiars, but they didn't expect that the great consciousness seemed to have some problems. Not only did it stand on the enemy side, but it also beat them into the space channel.

During the time they were apart, they both had their own valuable experiences, and the time they spent was also different. Sakura Fuko stayed in the fragment world for one year, plus the two years of experience in the pagoda, which is equivalent to three years.

Meiko Anten, on the other hand, experienced two years of hard and fulfilling time in that alien world created by chaos. During this period, not only did her combat power increase greatly, but she also broke through the shackles that had been in sight for a long time and reached the super level.

Having said that, in the eyes of their friends and relatives in this world, they had only been gone for three days, but they could not help but feel a little melancholy when they returned to their homeland.

This place seemed to be a warehouse, and also like a concentration camp, but when Meiko Anten stepped out of here, she found that there were many girls in military uniforms gathered here.

Some of them were chatting, some were exercising, and each had their own things to do, but seeing so many magical girls at once really shocked Anten Meiko.

She still vaguely remembered that when she was chatting with Kamijou Asahina, the latter mentioned that different countries had different attitudes towards magical girls.

Among them, Japan adopts a semi-free-range system with concentrated areas, China inherits the sect system handed down from ancient times, and the United States manages it completely as a militarized combat force.

As long as you become a magical girl, whether you like it or not, you will be taken to a concentration camp for management and a unified training plan will be assigned to them.

This method, which is similar to forced conscription, is truly shameful, but no one can say anything. After all, the power possessed by magical girls transcends all the technology in this world and is truly too frightening.

Of course, there are also many problems with this kind of militarized management. When magical girls are deprived of their freedom in a country that advocates freedom, many magical girls who cannot bear the oppression and hardship will unite to resist. This kind of resistance does not happen only once or twice, but almost every year.

However, there is an insurmountable top-level existence here, the "Nun". All resistance and dissatisfaction are actually futile. As soon as there are some signs, they will be completely suppressed and will not cause any trouble.

Meiko Anten scoffed at their actions, but after all, this was not her country, not her territory, so there was no need to point fingers at other people's actions. She could just pretend not to see it.

"Hey, kid, after seeing all this, don't you have any opinions of your own about this place?"

An Teng Meizi shook her head: "You have your ways, and we have ours. I don't need to make suggestions or comments on your behavior."

"You're quite easygoing." Marilyn shook her head in disbelief. "If there weren't strict orders from above, who would resort to such an inhumane management method? But the system is much more relaxed now. It doesn't put too much pressure on the magical girls, so the voices of resistance are relatively less."

Meiko Anten just listened to Marilyn's mumbling silently and did not express her own opinion, but she could hear that the nun was also very dissatisfied with the military's management system.

But this is not surprising. After all, Marilyn herself is a magical girl who is out of the human category. From a biological point of view, her real colleagues are not humans, but these magical girls. Seeing her own kind being oppressed with her own eyes, perhaps this is why Marilyn feels unhappy.

Marilyn brought Meiko Anten to a room filled with various equipment. She waved her hand to send away a magical girl guarding inside, sat down in a seat among a pile of equipment, and began to operate something that others could not understand.

"Hey, Asahina? Someone from your place was dropped off here. Who was it? It's that Ruby brat. They were attacked by the Void Cult. Okay, then you can handle it yourself."

After Marilyn finished speaking, she hung up the phone very neatly. She glanced at An Teng Meizi who was a little restless, stood up and took her out again.

"Waiting is pretty boring. Before that, I'll take you to the training ground."

Volume 8: The Evil Attacks: Chapter 20: Just Pretend You Didn't See It

Meiko Ando agreed without refusing and followed Marilyn in one direction. Many girls in military uniforms around them looked over.

The first thing they saw was Marilyn, who was dressed in a nun's combat uniform, with her eyes filled with awe. The second thing they saw was a black-haired girl wearing luxurious medieval clothing, like a princess from another world.

There was a look of surprise in their eyes as they stood up and followed Marilyn and Ando Meiko to the training ground that they were so familiar with.

The reason she wore this outfit was because during the two years in the other world, all the spare clothes she brought with her were damaged in the battles, and not a single one was left.

The clothes she was wearing were personally sent to her by Melinda and Ronia in that world. Given the status of these two people, how could the things they sent her be ordinary goods? Naturally, they were noble and luxurious.

The two came to a training ground surrounded by steel plates. There were already many magical girls inside, sparring and fighting. Of course, it was all pure physical contact, in order to practice physical skills.

For magical girls who face void beasts on a daily basis, physical skills are actually not that important. The reason why there is a training in physical skills is because of its extensions, such as the ability to withstand blows and reaction speed.

In the early days, when she was still an ordinary magical girl who had not even reached the advanced level, she and her companion Sawamura Rin were taken to Tenqing Palace by Kamijou Renka for various training.

The arduous training at that time still benefits Ando Meiko greatly until now. It can be seen that apart from fighting, physical training is definitely one of the most obvious ways for magical girls to become stronger.

Marilyn's original intention was to bring Meiko Ando here for a visit. After all, this person was at the bottom of the Magical Girls Supreme Council. Even if she didn't have any real power, she had to be given some respect just for the title.

What she didn't expect was that when they stepped into the training ground, the magical girls who were still training suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at her and Meiko Anten behind her with curious eyes.

"Who is this person? Why is he walking with the commander?"

"She's so beautiful! Judging from her attire, she looks like a princess from a medieval European country. Could she be a new magical girl?"

"She looks like a noble lady who's here for a visit, or perhaps an exchange or study. And judging by her appearance, she doesn't look like a local."

There was a constant stream of discussion, most of which were from people who were curious about Anten Meiko's identity and were speculating, but they did not dare to talk too loudly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were afraid of the nun.

An Teng Meizi found the awe in everyone's eyes a little funny, but she didn't know how to say it out loud. After all, the nun was not one of those people with a good temper. If she made a joke, she might get a lesson.
