Chapter 55
“If the same thing happens again in the future, I’ll stab a knife right into his belly, forget about merit or military strength or whatever, so keep that in mind.”
“Yes. Please do that……”
At the repeated threats, Izzen sighed and bowed his head. He thought he had suggested a reasonable response, but seeing how things turned out, he was the biggest sinner.
While Heesu always preached to Izzen about “magical girl common sense,” she didn’t seem to realize that a magical girl mentioning bellies and knives was what truly went against common sense. Nor the fact that she herself was already moving fiercely away from the image of a magical girl.
“What do we do now?”
After the commotion passed, the four began a meeting with their heads together. For some reason, Izzen was kneeling with a humble expression.
“If you have another dream, could you endure it?”
When Violen asked, Heesu shook her head.
“Ugh, honestly I’m not confident…… I barely endured this time.”
“Is he that good?”
“Wow, how should I put it. Maybe because he’s a professional, he really was just…….”
Heesu, who had been speaking without much thought, suddenly startled and closed her mouth tightly, then glanced at Violen’s reaction.
To such a Heesu, Violen smiled as if nothing was wrong. But around him, a terrifying aura completely different from his refreshing expression was swirling. Heesu looked away while scratching her nose as if ashamed.
“Then we need to end this as quickly as possible.”
“Let’s catch him! Catch him and beat him up!”
“Hasn’t he already run far away?”
“No, that probably won’t be the case.”
At Heesu’s words, Izzen shook his head in objection.
“Since he warned that he’d come again today, he’s definitely nearby. Even an incubus can’t sneak into the dreams of someone far away.”
“How close does he need to be?”
“That depends on the incubus’s magical power, but I don’t know exactly about his magical power…….”
“You said he was famous, so why don’t you know that?”
“It would be the same no matter who it was, not just him. Incubi have to protect themselves. If it gets out how much magical power they have or what distance they can exert influence from, their lives could be in danger, so they all thoroughly hide it.”
“Hmm…….”
Heesu fell into deep thought.
“Since they keep such things secret, I guess their real body doesn’t enter the dream?”
“Yes.”
“Then while sneaking into dreams, the incubus must also be sleeping somewhere?”
“That would be the case.”
“Then we just need to find that and stab a knife into his belly.”
“Yes…… that’s righ…t…….”
Izzen looked with fearful eyes at the magical girl who now had the words “belly” and “knife” completely stuck to her tongue.
Though she had said similar things yesterday, today’s words felt different in weight. They weren’t words vaguely picturing a plan, but words filled with the spirit to put them into action immediately. What on earth had happened last night to change the magical girl so much…
“But how exactly do we find that?”
“Well, it might be easy to find.”
“How?”
When Heesu tilted her head and looked at him, Violen pointed at Rufus with his hand.
“Ah!”
Heesu clapped her hands in delight.
“That’s right, Rufus!”
“Me? I’m finding him?!”
When attention focused on him, Rufus looked around bewildered.
“Find him by smell. Can you do it?”
“I think I can do it…… but do I have to smell that nutcase?”
“You have to, right?”
“Won’t nutcase germs transfer if I do that…….”
Strangely, Rufus had similar concerns to Heesu’s that morning.
“They won’t transfer!”
Despite having similar concerns just that morning, Heesu casually denied it.
“Please, Rufus. Please?!”
When Heesu asked while winking, Rufus, who had no way of knowing her dark intentions, was easily swayed. Like a hero receiving orders to save the country, Rufus made a determined expression and nodded with his shoulders full of strength.
“Alright!”
“Hooray!!”
At Rufus’s agreement, Heesu cheered and raised her hands while shouting hooray.
“Now I can stab a knife into that bastard’s belly!”
Saying that, she smiled with a refreshing face as if truly happy. She seemed really eager to do just that. It was reminiscent of the eerie phenomenon of a magical girl falling from magical girl to witch due to excessive hatred.
“No.”
But there’s always someone who flies above those who run,
“There’s a better method.”
And that flying one would often go one step further.
“A punishment that fits that pervert bastard perfectly.”
The flying one who said that with a cruel expression smiled.
