Magical Girl Hero - Chapter 12

“It’s hot… stuffy…”

The day that was supposed to be a pleasant morning with my dreams coming true was instead welcomed by overwhelming heat, that was hot enough to prevent my tired body from falling asleep, even though summer already passed.

My head is heavy as if it was paralyzed, and even though I should have opened my eyes all I can see is darkness.

Feeling as if I’m about to be crushed by a dream, I frantically move my hand to my face, and it hits something soft.

I moved my hand relentlessly to touch my face, but the sensation on my hand and the sensation on my face weren’t connected. It’s as if my face is wrapped in a steamed bun… Steamed bun?

I glared at the cause of the heat and suffocation, in my hand was Mokyu sleeping comfortably.

“I decided to just use it as a pillow for now.”

“Terrible kyu! That’s too much kyu! It’s fairy abuse kyu~!”

“It’s not terrible, and that’s not too much. It’s your fault for sleeping on people’s faces. Before transforming, your body is not that of a superhuman, so don’t be overconfident, you were the one who said that. I almost suffocated to death you know.”

“Roze isn’t soft enough to suffocate at that level, and fairies aren’t pillows kyu!”

I found out that the cause was this steamed bun, so when I used him as a pillow to share the pain, he jumped up and complained.

It was very soft and quite a superior quality for a pillow, I never thought there would be such a vehement protest from the pillow.

It was far from a relaxing morning, but since I’m already awake anyway I decided to got out of the bed.

After waking up I head to the washroom and checking the mirror, and fixed my morning face.

The girl who looked back at me from the mirror opened her mouth, ‘Ah, that’s right that happened’, and my brain that has just awoke felt moved.

I doesn’t have many bed hairs, but it’s very time consuming to straighten the long hair.

“You just need to learn magic for daily lives kyu~. That way it’ll be easy to straighten your bed kyu~.”

“Anything can be solved with magic huh… And also like you’re contradicting the principle that ‘magic shouldn’t be used recklessly’.”

“Magic isn’t a power that can only be used in a fight kyu~. Anything that can be useful should be used as something convenient kyu~. Besides, all children who have the aptitude for that kind of magic are using it secretly kyu~.”

“Well, even if you tell children to not use it….”

I remember being told that reckless use of magic could be constituted as a crime, but even so, it would be difficult to judge under the current law.

At most, it would be judged as a crime if its use is against the current law, it wouldn’t be possible to do anything just because magic was used. In the first place, you can’t prove it.

“Even though Roze can use any kind of magic, it’s a waste kyu~.”

“No, I’m not saying I won’t use it. Just that, it wouldn’t be fun if everything was solved with magic.”

It’s often said that this kind of thing is a cheat, guess that’s true.

It’s the same with games and anything else, if you can solve all problems effortlessly, then the fun will be lost.

Working hard to solve it is also a kind of fun.

“For now, let’s remember the magic to arrange the hair.”

“It’s too early to give up on keeping appearance kyu~”

“No, I mean of course I want to use magic.”

Rather than using magic to make things more convenient, I just want to use magic.

Yesterday, since I suddenly transformed, listened to various explanations, and was busy exterminating monsters, I wasn’t able to fully enjoy the magic.

I was very moved when I used the accel, I immediately felt the wonder of magic.

It’s only natural for a human being to want to experience that sensation more.

Well, it’s still fine to use it and jump around the city late at night, but it’s not something you can do in the daytime.

“Well then, let’s take this chance and use magic for breakfast kyu~.”

“Eh, using magic for breakfast?”

Wait, what is with that, why does it seems like that magic can easily solve the world’s food problem?

“First of all, please take out your mobile phone kyu~.”

“It suddenly started…”

I took out my phone as I was told. Well, since Mokyu said to use magic, there’s no doubt that it’s the magic cell phone, the normal one. I’m really not used to the foldable type.

“Start the app and go to the store page kyu~. There is a food delivery page in it, so you can order various things kyu~.”

“Oi! that’s just delivery service isn’t it!!”

Shouldn’t it be something like creating it with magic? If it’s like this then even a normal cell phone can do it. Give back my expectations.

Disappointed, I opened the page and checked it.

Most of the food can be purchased for 1 point, and there are many delicious and luxurious samples lined up. Well, Mokyu said that 1 point is worth about 10,000 yen, considering that, I don’t know what to think of the fact that a single meal cost 10,000 yen.

The points gained by putting in magic stones and the pile of bills that were handed to me broke my sense of money, so without worrying about the large sum of 10,000 yen, I decided to order an assortment of delicious-looking bread. Even that assortment of bread is the result of my commoner’s heart thinking that one meal can not possibly cost 10,000 yen. No, even if you’re not a commoner 10,000 yen is still quite a large amount.

As soon as I pressed the order confirmation button while looking forward to it would taste like, a large basket and a lot of bread suddenly appeared in front of me.

“It’s Delicious!!”

“Naturally kyu~. Everything in the store is a luxury item kyu~. Safe, secure, and high-quality kyu~.”

I expressed my impressions while eating the bread that was immediately delivered by using magic.

At the very least please tell me first, anyone would be surprised if it suddenly appeared like that, , well I guess Mokyu wanted to surprise me. I know how it feels though.

As expected of an assortment, the bread, it’s packed with everything from familiar items to things you’ve never seen before, it’s quite satisfying with its reasonable amount and tastes that are more than worth the price.

The problem is that once you get used to it, you won’t be able to go back to regular bread.

While eating the melon bread1 ( the cookie dough on the outside is very crunchy, and the bread dough inside is chewy) Mokyu brought something that looked like a tablet and showed it to me.

“Roze. Yesterday’s big fight was filmed kyu~. With this, Roze will also be recognized by the world, it’s your magical girl debut kyu~!”

“Eh, wow… Now that I think about it, I didn’t realize it, but there were many people at that time, of course, there will be some people who took a picture… what should I do…”

Inside the tablet, there was a girl dressed in black and confronting the “Wanderer”.

Her face was covered with mosaics, but there’s no mistake that the girl is Black Rose.

Hats off to anyone who’s brave enough to come close and take a shoot, after all the vicinity of “Wanderer” is extremely dangerous and has adverse effects on the body, though thanks to that I’m in trouble right now.

After all, Black Rose and Roze even if their clothes are different they have the same face and hair color.

Although these photos and videos are mosaiced out, for those who have seen both of them directly, it’s certain that they were the same person. Or rather, even their name is related, rather, it’s like they didn’t even intend to hide it.

“Mokyu, what should I do? My identity will be exposed! I’ll be caught in a witch hunt!”

“Your knowledge of magical girls is too biased kyu~. You don’t have to worry about your identity kyu~. When a magical girl transforms, the recognition inhibition magic will be activated kyu~. Even that mosaic is the result of that magic kyu~.”

“But there are people who saw my face directly, you know? That sapphire girl definitely saw it.”

“There’s no problem there kyu~. Roze and Black Rose are completely different people, and you won’t be able to notice their connection just by looking at their faces kyu~. As long as you don’t reveal your true identity, there’s no problem kyu~. And magical girl is no exception kyu~.”

Even if I was told that it would be okay to not cover my face, I can’t help but doubt it, however, I had no choice but to trust Mokyu. Long live magic.

But I’m relieved. Something like getting your true identity revealed just the day after you become a hero should only happen in a gag comic.

As a hero, it would be ideal to keep my identity hidden.

“Just what are you worrying for, this late in the game kyu~. You should have known from the beginning that someone would see you kyu~.

“I mean, don’t heroes usually hide their faces while they transformed! Or maybe they look different before and after transforming!”

“I wish you have more awareness as a magical girl…”

There’s no way you can worry about that kind of thing when you’re so excited. I think it’s stranger that even though I transformed, the only thing that changes is my clothes.

“Rose is quite the careless type kyu~. Well, anyway see this kyu~. There are a lot of cool appearances of Black Rose kyu~.”

To be told that by this steamed bun is very vexing, but for now, I swallow it and look at the tablet.

I didn’t look closely because I was preoccupied with the danger of being exposed, but the photo of Black Rose taken from various angles is certainly cool.

The photo of her figure cutting off a monster’s tentacles piercing the enemy with a sword of light and her figure leaving after confirming that everything is finished.

Those who have been saved express their gratitude. Showing hope for the future.

Being able to create that scene is what a hero is

“From now on, there will be many times where your photo is being spread like this. Of course, among the sensitive children, there are also those who dislike standing out like that. However, you’re not afraid of the expectations and hopes of those people, rather, I want you to enjoy yourself and continue being a magical girl.”

“Of course”

Everyone will expect and admires heroes when they see them. If you’re frightened just by this, you can’t call yourself a hero. Well, whether you can meet their expectations or not is a separate matter.

“Now then, since breakfast is already finished I have something to talk about with you kyu~, Roze”

Mokyu looks at me while correcting her posture.

I wondered, what is it this time. Just so you know I won’t give you the melon bread.

“Let’s talk about the last job I want you to do. kyu~”

Something like this (It was my favorite when I was a kid, shame I don’t see it that often anymore these days).
