Magical Girl of Chaos: Magical Rampage

Thanks to Gravity’s talent, the superhuman rioters were subdued in an instant.

In the midst of it, I’m holding a pitch-black sword, cutting down necks one by one.

Even if subdued, these are beings that not even the national police, let alone the military, can stop.

That’s what it means to wield superhuman and supernatural powers through magical energy.

If an individual’s power is strong, the authority should match, but the superhuman crisis is temporary and limited.

So, if they commit crimes, there’s no choice but to kill them.

That’s the reality.

—

“P-please… spare me…”

“No. You’re a superhuman.”

—

While the rioters are overwhelmingly superhuman, some are non-superhumans… ordinary people mixed in.

I’m filtering them out through magical detection and killing them one by one.

As for the ordinary people, when I give the signal, Gravity uses her ability to filter them out and tosses them to the back.

In this situation, some police officers are vomiting, but they’re somehow holding it together and arresting the ordinary rioters one by one.

They know it too.

Superhumans are beings even the nation can’t handle, and if they become criminals, they must be killed.

If not, society will collapse, and soon the nation will follow, leading to an unprecedented crisis.

—

So, I’m swiftly cutting down the rioters, but when I glance back, Gravity’s expression is as calm as ever.

In fact, she’s casually munching on the chocolate I gave her, looking completely unfazed.

Honestly, I’m a bit surprised Gravity’s mental fortitude is this strong.

Most people would at least make a face seeing something like this.

—

“Halfway done, I guess.”

—

By the way, how uselessly large is this Justice Mania group? Even after all this, half are still left.

Still, it’s definitely fewer than a full-scale riot, so I shouldn’t complain…

I really didn’t think this would turn into such simple labor.

Thanks to that, the surrounding reactions are no joke.

Well, whatever they say, it’s none of my business, so I’ll keep going.

—

“That’s… it.”

—

After quite some time, with a massive crowd gathered around, the task of sorting superhumans from ordinary people and killing all the superhuman rioters is finally over.

Of course, I made sure to spare the opposition properly.

It’s wrong to kill someone just for being in the same group, even if they didn’t participate in the riot.

So, I carefully picked them out and spared them.

—

“Gravity. You can release it now.”

“…Okay.”

—

Alright, the job’s done, so let’s go eat the chicken & waffles I originally planned to have.

First, open a [Gate] in the bathroom of that Brunch Cafe… and undo the transformation.

This should be fine.

Unless there’s some lunatic who installed CCTV or hidden cameras in the women’s bathroom.

—

“Ame.”

“Mmm…”

“…I’ll buy you whatever, so stop looking at me like that.”

“Wow~…”

—

Since you helped out, you’re asking for stuff, huh…

But all you’re asking for is food, so…

Ah, whatever, let’s just spoil her.

I’ve got more money than I know what to do with, so this is nothing.

—

Anyway, I ordered the chicken & waffles as planned.

Thanks to Gravity and me cleaning up the rioters in an instant, the Brunch Cafe didn’t have to close, which is a relief.

If it had closed, I’d have been really sad.

Because this place was personally recommended by Gravity, so my expectations are high.

—

“Wow… what, there’s really chicken on the waffle?”

“Maple syrup…”

“Huh? Oh, right. They put maple syrup on it.”

“This one, other places… different sauce…”

“Each Brunch Cafe has a different sauce?”

“Yeah… but the base is… this.”

“I see.”

—

So, the base is maple syrup…

Huh? This actually has a pretty good balance.

It’s unexpectedly delicious, so I’m eating it faster than I thought.

—

“……”

“…Huh?”

“…?”

—

While enjoying the chicken & waffles, the leader of Justice Mania suddenly appeared beside us.

He didn’t look like he came to pick a fight, but his expression was quite sad, as if he wanted to ask something.

—

“…Can I sit here?”

“…Sure, go ahead. But do you know who I am?”

“Well, with Magical Gravity beside you… I can guess.”

“Don’t go telling people about that. It’ll mess up my daily life.”

“…I promise.”

—

By the way, seeing him up close, his build is no joke.

He’s at least 190cm tall, with muscles like a bodybuilder.

Plus, that uniform reminiscent of a certain superhero… this guy’s a real piece of work.

—

“…I have a question.”

“I figured.”

“Was everything I did… all wrong?”

—

Everything was wrong? That’s a bit hard to answer.

But these guys are trying to protect humanity in their own way.

Of course, they’ve gone off the deep end.

So, I can’t say everything was wrong.

—

“Not everything. But when choosing your methods, you need to be very careful. Otherwise, things like this happen.”

“I see…”

“Failing to properly control your group and choosing overly extreme methods were definitely mistakes. But your desire to protect humanity isn’t wrong.”

“…Is that so? Then, can I still continue this group, this organization…?”

“That’s for you to decide. You don’t need anyone’s permission. As long as you don’t commit crimes or harm magical girls, I don’t care.”

—

I don’t know what he’s thinking, but he doesn’t need to overthink it.

Don’t jump to conclusions, just reflect on what went wrong this time and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Well, plenty of guys fail at even that and end up completely ruined.

—

“I-I see. Then… I’ll think about it.”

“Do that. And stop standing around awkwardly, order something. I’ll treat you.”

“Ah, then I’ll have the chicken & waffles too.”

—

He ordered the same thing we’re eating right away…

Well, it’s right in front of him, so I guess he’d want it.

—

“…Still, I can’t understand why children, who should still be playing and protected, are fighting as magical girls.”

“Everyone thinks that.”

“Do they…?”

“But reality doesn’t allow it. The growth rate of adult and child magical girls is drastically different. If we didn’t make children into magical girls… we’d be overwhelmed by the sheer number of demons and monsters within a few years and be wiped out.”

“……”

“Chasing dreams and ideals is something no one can criticize. But they must be adjusted according to reality. Reality and ideals often contradict each other.”

“I see… I was too blinded.”

“Yeah, you were blinded. It’s not about achieving your goals by any means necessary, but about decisively choosing the right means.”

“…I’m sorry.”

—

Well, as I always say, I understand your feelings.

But reality doesn’t always go the way you want.

If you chase ideals, there will always be horrifying obstacles blocking your path.

Reality is cold and cruel.

So, to struggle through it, you can’t just rely on emotions. You need to act decisively… choosing the right means.

Like how I strictly divide those who must be killed from those who must be protected.

—

In my case, I’ve broken all the stupid hooks people try to use to drag things out, cut the lines, and acted decisively.

And what happened?

I’ve preemptively cut off all potential problems, drastically reducing humanity’s losses and bringing peace.

That’s what you need to learn from.

—

Thus, we must always remember we’re on the stage of reality.

If we forget, even for a moment, that the stage we stand on is reality… the consequences are unimaginable.

—

“Mmm…”

“What’s wrong, Gravity?”

“One more…”

“…Alright. I’ll order one more.”

“Wow~…”

—

Sigh, really… Gravity’s the god of killing the mood.

The moment she opens her mouth, the atmosphere just snaps. She’s like a mood breaker.

But she’s cute, so it’s forgivable.

—

“…Well, at least I’ve learned one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“There’s an insurmountable gap between magical girls and us superhumans. I realized that seeing you and Magical Gravity’s abilities.”

“So, are you quitting?”

“Not exactly. But there’s a level only magical girls can reach, so we shouldn’t mess around recklessly.”

“That’s good. It’s important to know what you can’t do and what others can. Otherwise, you can’t even start.”

—

Hmm… he seems relieved.

But the sad expression hasn’t completely faded, so I guess the incident is still haunting him.

Well, just yesterday, superhumans who trusted and followed him rioted and were all killed by my hand.

It’s only natural it’s still on his mind.

—

“Still, you’re lucky. At least you know how to fix things.”

“…Is that a compliment?”

“Whether you can fix things or not is the difference between being rotten to the core or not, so yeah, it’s a compliment. For now.”

“For now, huh…”

“If you want more praise, fix things properly and work hard. Should I pat your head like a parent?”

“T-that’s… I’m way past the age for that!”

“No need to be shy. Everyone wants to be spoiled sometimes.”

“Ahem… even so, that’s something you should get from your parents.”

—

Hmm… well, with a build like that and leading a group, it’s only natural he’d resist something like that.

Plus, the macho culture in America probably plays a part.

And honestly, I don’t really want to pat the head of someone this big.

Who’d want to pat this guy’s head?

—

“Cough.”

“Done eating?”

“Yeah…”

“I’m done too. Thanks for the treat.”

—

Gravity and this guy are done eating?

Then it’s time to head back.

I originally came out for a walk, but it’s already this late.

—

Anyway, Gravity and I said our goodbyes to the big guy and parted ways.

Then, with a satisfied Gravity, we returned home.

After that, we spent time rolling around playing games.

—

“Purr…”

“……”

—

…By the way, do you really have to flop down on my stomach to sleep…?
