Magical Girl of Chaos: Magical Rampage

August 17th.

What day is it, you ask? It’s Pretty Heart’s birthday.

Yeah, I’ve been so busy with my own life that I’ve been skipping birthdays, but this year I ended up taking care of my juniors.

First, as a gift, I got her a purple diamond heart necklace with a proper auto-repair magic circle engraved on it, along with various kinds of cakes.

…Well, that’s about it.

“Perfect timing, it’s a Saturday.”

“Yeah, it is.”

Today, there’s nothing special for us magical girls to do, so I’m just heading to Pretty Heart’s house with Diamond Dust like normal.

The place we arrived at is a pretty high-end residence.

At first, I wondered why there was such a house here, but apparently, Pretty Heart’s parents built this high-end house here a long time ago.

I see… So that’s why.

“Wow… What an incredible house… Why is it in a neighborhood like this?”

“I don’t know either.”

Anyway, I should ring the doorbell.

When I did, a housekeeper greeted us and opened the door.

I kinda expected it, but I didn’t think there would actually be housekeepers.

And not just one, but three…

Well, they’re called housekeepers, but they’re basically maids.

So, houses like this really do exist…

“Ah, welcome!”

“Have you been well?”

“Hi, Nari.”

“Nice to see you too, Ayun unnie!”

Nari’s already excited.

…Huh? Come to think of it, Crazy Heart and Typhoon are here too?

Well, since we all train together, it makes sense.

Besides them… Ugh, those guys…

“Wow~! So many magical girls!”

“Whoa! It’s that unnie from before! Come here and take a picture with me!”

…Yeah, those two who were feeding Nari weird stuff…!

Sigh~… They’re still perverts as ever…

“Unnie, you’re here!”

“Yeah. Have you gotten over your chuunibyou yet?”

“Huh?”

“Senpai!”

“Yeah… You’d get along well with those guys.”

“How did you know?!”

“It’s obvious. They’re in the same department as you.”

This is quite a lively birthday party.

Speaking of which, where are Pretty Heart’s parents?

Since it’s their daughter’s birthday, they should be here, right?

Plus, it’s not even a weekday, it’s the weekend.

“By the way, where are your parents?”

“Ah, my parents… They congratulated me this morning and left. They said to have fun with my friends during the day and evening without worrying about them…”

“Oh~…”

I see, they tactfully stepped aside for this occasion.

And since they congratulated her in the morning, it’s fine.

Pretty Heart’s parents are really… different from us…

“Ah, right. Let’s take out the cakes we brought.”

“Cakes?”

“Yeah. I made a lot. Different kinds.”

“Wow… Thank you, unnie!”

Ugh, just because I made a lot of cakes, she’s hugging me again…

And because of her chest, I can’t breathe, so I wish she’d tone it down a bit.

Plus, everyone’s staring.

“…You three. Stop gathering and laughing creepily, just eat the cake.”

“Yess~.”

“Look at her being shy~ hehe…”

“Being buried in Nari’s chest is embarrassing enough~.”

“Can you just shut up?”

…Those two, their names were… Jinju and Naru, right?

I wonder what they’ll become when they grow up…

“By the way, why are you all sitting there waiting?”

“Huh? Of course, we have to sing the birthday song first!”

“Right!”

“Unnie…”

“Ah~…”

Ah, right… Come to think of it, we should sing the birthday song.

Well, even though it’s just a formality, let’s keep it short and get it over with.

“Alright, let’s sing Happy Birthday to Nari. The birthday girl sits here in the center.”

“Okay~.”

Alright, then… What was the birthday song again?

Happy Birthday three times… right?

And clap along.

…This is so embarrassing the older you get.

Both for the person singing and the person receiving it.

I don’t know why this became a thing.

Anyway, we sang Happy Birthday to Nari.

After the song ended, we clapped as hard as we could, and Nari blew out the candles on the cake.

Then, with an awkward smile, she collected the extinguished candles and immediately picked up the cake knife.

“You’re going to eat it right away?”

“Hehe~…”

“I’ll do it. Here.”

“Huh, unnie?! How did you do that just now?!”

“Well, I condensed my magic into a sword and sliced it.”

“Woah…”

“Senpai… You’re doing something ridiculous again…”

“Wow, that’s so cool…!”

“So awesome…”

“As expected of a magical girl…”

Hmm, as expected, everyone’s impressed.

Plus, it’s more convenient than cutting each piece one by one.

And… like this, I can transform it and perfectly slice the pieces.

This way, I can divide it fairly.

…No, let’s give Pretty Heart a bit more.

She eats a lot.

Plus, she’s the birthday girl.

By the way, it’s nice seeing everyone sitting here smiling while eating cake.

You can tell everything from kids’ expressions when they’re eating.

Kids aren’t good at hiding their expressions.

It’s actually weird if they can.

“This feels like a cake party…”

“Yeah. Let’s eat some of the food the housekeeper made too. Just eating cake makes me feel sick.”

“…I’m going to eat more cheesecake.”

“Alright…”

Diamond Dust never gets tired of cheesecake, huh?

I wonder how much she loves cheesecake…

Meanwhile, the others seem to get tired of eating the cake piece by piece, so they cut small pieces and only eat the ones they like.

Hmm… I should eat some pasta and steak.

Oh, it’s been out for a while, but it’s still delicious.

I should’ve eaten this first and had the cake as dessert…

After singing Happy Birthday, we just started eating the cake right away, so I got swept up in the mood.

“Wow, these are really delicious. Plus, it’s shrimp pasta, so it’s right up my alley.”

“Unnie, you really love shrimp.”

“If it’s shrimp, I can eat 50 boiled ones in one sitting.”

“…You really love it.”

“It’s not as much as your love for cheesecake, though.”

“Ah.”

By the way, I should take care of Pretty Heart.

She subtly stuck close to me, so it’s hard to ignore her.

Plus, she’s the birthday girl, so I can’t just not take care of her.

“You were eating cake so enthusiastically earlier, and now you’re diving into pasta and steak…”

“You can rinse your mouth with water!”

“But the sweetness doesn’t really go away…”

“That’s enough! Here, unnie, have some too!”

“Oh, this is tomato-based?”

“There’s lots of garlic too!”

“Oh…”

She’s really enjoying her food, huh.

By the way, the tomato and garlic pasta is delicious.

But tomato pasta can get a bit tiring after a while because of the acidity.

The sourness lingers in your mouth… I personally don’t like it that much.

Next… Ah, I should try this.

“Nari, how’s school life?”

“Me? It’s fun!”

“What a happy life.”

Pretty Heart is… well, a blessed child.

Born into a wealthy family, has two close friends (even if they’re a bit perverted), and her school life is smooth…

It’s weird that such a girl is training with me as a magical girl.

But she’s doing it more diligently than anyone else, so she’s got a good head on her shoulders.

Is there another kid as likable as her?

…By the way, when should I give her the gift?

We started eating right after singing Happy Birthday, so I feel like I missed the timing.

Hmm… I guess it’s better to give it after we finish eating.

Giving it while eating would disrupt the flow.

“Nari, did you get gifts from the others?”

“Huh? Yeah, I did! Hehe~…”

“Really? …Look forward to it later.”

“Look forward to it…? Ah, could it be…!”

“Whatever you’re imagining, it’ll exceed your expectations.”

When I hinted that I also brought a gift, Pretty Heart made an extremely happy face.

I didn’t think she’d be this happy, but she looks like she’s about to burst.

“By the way, Typhoon, are your boobs growing lately~?”

“G-Get away!”

“What~ unnie, why are you being shy~.”

“They should be bigger than Nari’s, unnie~.”

“G-Go away!”

…They’re ganging up on Typhoon…

But for three perverts to gang up on a chuunibyou, it’s a weird picture.

Well, since it’s just girls, it’s fine, but if it were guys, I’d have grabbed a bat and smashed their heads right then and there.

Who would like that kind of thing unless they’re a pervert?

…Well, I heard girls tend to get excited by the atmosphere itself.

There was even an experiment where most women felt excited watching monkeys mate.

Of course, the participants vehemently denied it.

This is… a surprisingly horrifying reality…

“Phew~…”

“Are you done eating?”

“Yeah~.”

“Then let’s… here, my gift.”

“Wow…”

“Open it.”

After enjoying the food, I gave Pretty Heart her gift.

It was a purple diamond necklace that cost a fortune to make.

When Pretty Heart took it out of the gift box, her eyes went wide, and she kept looking back and forth between me and the necklace.

She probably never imagined she’d get a gift like this.

Well, I did prepare it with that in mind.

“Huh, unnie…?! W-What is this…?!”

“It’s something I prepared for you. I engraved an auto-repair magic circle on it, so even if you handle it roughly, it won’t break.”

“Wow… It’s so pretty… Plus, it’s the same color as unnie…”

“What is it? Whoa?! It looks super expensive!”

“Wow…”

“So cool…”

As Pretty Heart looked at the necklace, the other girls quickly gathered around.

Of course, it was to see the purple diamond necklace I gifted.

If someone gets an amazing gift, everyone’s bound to be curious.

“…So, it was finished on time after all.”

“I was working on it all day yesterday.”

The magic circle… It was tougher than I thought, so I was working on it until yesterday.

I don’t know how the Fairy Queen managed to engrave such a difficult magic circle on my body so effortlessly.

“Unnie, thank you! I love you! Marry me!”

“Ugh.”

Don’t hug me and shout a three-step declaration like that.

Besides, marriage is still too early, Pretty Heart…

“…If I’m still alive in five years, I’ll accept.”

“Huh?!”

“By then, I’ll be invading the Demon Realm. If your feelings haven’t changed by then, and if I’m still alive… then I’ll accept.”

“…!! T-Then… I, I’ll…”

“No. I can’t let you come with me.”

“Why not?!”

“Because I don’t want to see you die instantly over there.”

“Sniff…”

This kid, she’s not giving up…

I really don’t get why there are kids who want to follow me.

Do they really want to step into such a dangerous place themselves?

Given what’s happened so far, they should know that the Demon Realm is crawling with monsters beyond Great King-Class and Emperor-Class, right?

“……”

“…What’s wrong?”

“…Unnie. I…”

“…?”

“…No! It’s nothing! Hehe…”

“What, all of a sudden…”

Why is she acting like this all of a sudden?

It seems like she’s hiding something, but I shouldn’t dig too deep.

I’m curious, though.

“…Unnie.”

“What?”

“I love you.”

“……”

“Unnie?”

“…Sorry. It’s hard to answer ‘right now.'”

“I see… Okay…”

…Huh? This time, she just accepted it?

Usually, she’d cling to me after an answer like that.

There’s definitely something going on.

“Hey, since it’s my birthday, I’m going to stick to you as much as I want!”

“…Fine.”

“Hehe~.”

…Well, I hope it’s nothing serious.

Besides, it’s Pretty Heart’s birthday, so I should spend more time with her.
