The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 99

Side: Morishita Maria

One year has already passed since I’ve become a Magical Girl.

“The information is not enough.”

Maki-ane said that when I had over 60,000 subjugated monsters and Maki-ane exceeded 80,000 subjugated monsters.

Originally, when the two of us became Magical Girls, there were 3 senior Magical Girls in Kanagawa.

Two of them were 2nd year in high school and the other one was 3rd year.

They accepted us with kindness. And then, they were teaching us the fundamentals of fighting as Magical Girls.

Then, we joined together however… They didn’t understand the importance of fighting against people— And an incident occured.

—Abeno’s main family assaults the abandoned hospital.

Japan’s exorcists appeared at our abandoned hospital where we were staying at and a fight broke out.

It seems that the operation was mobilized by a significant number of personnel, the 3 seniors went into full burst even when they cannot handle second burst.

And the two of us, managed somehow to get through the situation with just locking techniques.

And then, the end of the Magical Girls who used Full Burst overnight changed into old women.

Their dementia progressed rapidly. No, far from dementia, they’ll die within one week from old age if chakra is not distributed to them.

This side’s damage was 3 people being old.

The other side had 45 people dead.

“This is problematic.”

I remember that Maki-ane made an futile expression while looking at the sky.

Like this, we couldn’t lead a normal life anymore.

With the nursing of three people, it became obvious that just the two of us will have to gather chakra for five people.

According to Domin, there seems to be a lot of cases like this.

Chased by local exorcists then performing a full burst and then transforming into old women.

By the way, this time it’s treated as death in battle so according to Domin’s statistics they won’t be treated as Magical Girls dying from old age.

And so, Maki-ane’s advocated combat techniques against people was immediate.

To bait with ability as an Magical Girl and kill with joint locking techniques.

I was completely trained in the arm locking technique so thanks to it I had reached where I can use it practically.

But Maki-ane’s versatility played an active role in the battlefield.

And then, the words “The information is not enough” from the start come back.

—Subjugation of 100, 000 monsters.

Domin said that at that point you’ll receive the power to interfere with the system.

If I take his words at face value then stopping this system isn’t a dream too.

But, the origin of those words is… The cause that led us in the middle of the night.

Naturally there’s not even a fragment of credibility in the words.

“When you defeat 100, 000 monsters something will happen. It’s a story of where we might be able to change our destiny of certain death.”

“Un.”

“But, without knowing anything there’s no way we can reach 100, 000 just empty fisted.”

“Un, that’s right.”

“The local exorcist organizations know more about Magical Girls than we do. That’s why they attacked us. The Magical Girl’s history is over 1000 years. Naturally, there should be literature remaining. In that case—”

“I get it, Maki-ane. In that case, the chance we have at this moment… Me and Maki-ane will attack and we’ll find out everything we need to find out.”

Honestly speaking, today during the assault Maki-ane alone took down 20 people.

Our opponents probably didn’t think even in the slightest they’ll suffer a crushing defeat to the theory of having surplus fighting power.

I’m certain they’re chain of command is panicking… That’s why, we plan to attack the Abeno main family after moving the three to the nearby closed hospital.

“It’s going to be difficult. The opponent is an armed group… There’s no guarantee to return alive, you know?”

Maki said that and smiled fleetingly.

“Haha, we’ve come such a long way… Haven’t we shared a lot with each other already? Anyhow, I was already dying in the traffic accident.”

“Hey, Maria-chan? I’m about to say something strange now.”

“Hm?”

“I’m an only child. So, I always wanted a younger sister.”

“As for me I have a brother however, I’ve wanted an older sister, too.”

“If I really had a younger sister probably she would’ve been like you… Why am I think about that right now.”

I instinctively bursted out.

“Haha!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I was thinking the same.”

And then we both have huge smiles floating on our faces and we shook hands.

Speaking from conclusion, we used a second burst to increase our power as Magical Girls.

The chakra exhaustion was not a joking matter however, the surprise attack on the main Abeno family was successful and after retrieving the desired items we successfully ditched our pursuers and escaped.

Because we saved chakra to the utmost limit, I lost the sense in my right foot and then Maki-ane who was excessive lost vision in her right eye.

But, in exchange for the lost parts we were able to receive information that’s worth more than them.

Me and Maki-ane read the old literature for two days without sleeping in the new place close school that we are staying at.

And then, we came to one conclusion.

“The reason Magical Girls are hunted is exactly like I expected.”

“Well, if you’re driven to this situation… There’s no other choice to involve ordinary people without pretending about appearances.”

“But, a phenomenon happens after defeating 100,000 monsters. This information is huge.”

“The singularity outbreak. But, Domin… is really not horrible? I’m talking about the story of a possibility to save ourselves by defeating 100,000 monsters.”

“It can’t be helped to expect an honest response from the God of Death. To begin with that thing seems to be a facilitator in the system… He’s definitely not on our side.”

“Also, what’s the advancer, anything but just an sacrifice?”

“Yeah, a phenomenon that happens when the advancer has slaughtered 100,000 monsters… It’s really disgusting…”

“This core of the system… The clone created from Himiko is in a place where the dimension is shifted. The Himiko clone that’s in that dimension and our Magical Sticks that have Himiko’s cells are linked to each other. That’s why we can gain experience by receiving favor from Himiko’s genetics.”

“And then, the local organizations can’t fundamentally solve it since the system’s core is before the dimension shift. As for dealing with treatment, there’s no other choice but to dispose of us.”

“However, routine supply of chakra is also necessary for Himiko’s Clone… As a living being it needs nutrition to live. That is to become the strongest Magical Girl class by defeating 100,000 monsters.”

“A singularity from the different world that will happen in this world. For that abnormality, the active Magical Girls are sending chakra to Himiko.”

“And then, the original objective of the system is…”

“Obtaining skill points.”

“The Magical Girl’s are humans adapted for acquiring skill points. And then, we are primarily being exploited from the points we are earning.”

“We who’re puppets and acquire skill points from monsters and we’re taking a cut from it by leveling up.”

“Hey, Maki-ane?”

“What?”

“The system’s creator Doumen what did he really want to do?”

“Isn’t it about wanting to become a God? Well, the creator died but his system survived and the current situation is like a nightmare. And then, there’s one huge event singularity outbreak—”

Then, Maki-ane nodded greatly.

“We’ll turn the tables there.”

“Turning the tables?”

“Originally, the advancer is live bait, Himiko’s clone will kill it and then steal the chakra.”

“Un, that’s right.”

“But, I’m different. I’m not a normal Magical Girl.”

「……？」

“No, if it’s me… I can disrupt the system…”

“What do you mean?”

“If you hit Himiko the core of the system, the system will vanish.”

“But…”

“Yeah, if I become an advancer now I’ll just be bait. And then, you can’t attack the other side from here. You can’t touch Himiko other than being the bait. However, this time’s bait… has fangs.”

I see, I nod.

“Magical Girl style fighting techniques.”

“If I’m going to die anyway then it might as well be showy. So, If all goes well it will be solved like that.”

*Haha* and Maki-ane laughed like she was astounded.

“Yeah, it’s as you say. But, it’s also true that with this hope was born. Practically, won’t you just be beaten?”

“Un. To the very end… if I’m going to then I should struggle to the utmost I can.”

Maki-ane gulped and nodded.

And then, I looked at the faces of everyone lying on beds in the closed school.

“Assuming everything goes well— I think everyone who has been deprived of chakra can’t go back. But, in that case no more chakras will be taken.”

“No need to die, huh…”

And then, we hunted every night for the replenishment of five people.

Er, on the contrary we didn’t return home, in the daytime we also continued hunting monsters without having time to rest.

Everything is to defeat 100,000 monsters and be an advancer… And then penetrate the system like a straight bullet.
