The One that Should be Protected Isn’t Necessarily One Who will Protect You

“What, this… It’s terrible…!”

Even though Mokyu said we’re going to talk about the last job I was supposed to do, Mokyu just showed me the tablet. In it was something far different from what I had imagined to be a job for a hero.

For example, right. It’s something that is appropriate to be called a mass of malice. In that sense, it’s certainly the right job for a hero.

However, this, despite not being an abnormal being like “Wanderer”, its nature is more ugly, hideous, and abominable than “Wanderer”.

“Magical girl XX didn’t help” “That magical girl is often seen in XX ward. I’m sure she lives near there.” “There was a girl at a nearby school who said she had become a magical girl. The name is 〇〇.” “They’re discriminate on who they save.” “I’m collecting information on all magical girls who lost to ‘Wanderer.’ These guys are useless.” “The magical girl who lost the other day was spotted at 〇〇 hospital. I’m going to complain” “I collected panty shoots of magical girls” …

Words, images, videos.

Using various methods they slandered, and exposed the personal information of magical girls.

I wonder if the people doing this are humans.

No matter where I look or which one I see, I can’t believe that this is something that’s aimed toward a hero of justice.

This is, a kind of monster.

“What’s on here is something that’s on the internet, newspapers, TV news, etc kyu~. It’s a silver of the malice aimed towards magical girls accumulated by all the media used by mankind kyu~.”

“This is… a silver…?”

The numerous malice that fills the screen.

Among the things I’ve seen, there are even some that would make me hesitate to even look at it, and all this, is only the tip of the iceberg.

“How can they do this! Aren’t, magical girls a heroes!?”

“Even if you scold me, a fairy, about humanity, I’d be troubled kyu~. But if I were to say it, then, it is because they are a hero kyu~.”

Because they are a hero…?

“Because they are a hero, people asked them for help and put expectations on them kyu~. And when that is betrayed, people turn malicious kyu~.”

“That’s…”

When I was a child, a hero is one who destroys all evil, one who saves everyone, is what I thought. That’s why it’s not like I don’t understand the reasoning itself.

However, that kind of thing is impossible.

Even I, who admired heroes and became one, wouldn’t be able to save everyone.

“Well, most of it usually comes from that kind of disappointment and anger, but there are also those that purely just take pleasure in being cruel to magical girls kyu~. Either way, I can’t show this to other magical girls kyu~.”

“I also didn’t want to see it if I could…”

If there are those that look kindly to heroes then of course there are also some that are negative, and some that are offensive.

I can understand that but that’s because I’m an adult. Though I don’t want to understand it.

But this…

“I wonder what magical girls would think if they saw this…”

“In reality, when children who became magical girls told others that they are magical girls, or seen things like this, there are some who can’t continue as magical girls kyu~.”

Tha’s obvious. It would be too harsh to be directed at little girls.

Or rather, even me, if something like this continues to be hostile towards me, I’m afraid I’ll lose sight of who I as a hero should be saving.

“That’s why Mokyu chose you kyu~. The fact that you’re a ‘self-centered hero’ is a good fit for the job jyu~. If it’s Roze, I’m sure this level of malice wouldn’t be a problem kyu~.”

“I’m sure I’m being praised… but somehow…”

Certainly, my passion for being a hero is not so weak that I would quit being a hero just because of something of this level.

Even if you slander me directly, it doesn’t matter.

I mean, I’m not being a hero for the sake of anyone else, I’m just being a hero for the sake of myself.

“I don’t think Roze will quit being a magical girl, but if you don’t want to help someone because of something like this, I think it can’t be helped kyu~. Even magical girls need rest, and it’s okay to be picky on who to save kyu~.”

Mokyu muttered sadly.

It seems that some magical girls have quit, and I’m sure a lot has happened.

“For me, well, I’m okay. I already stopped thinking about difficult things, and I’m doing it because I want to. If I get into a situation where I don’t want to do it, then I’ll run away without hesitation.”

That’s fine. A hero is not a being who must sacrifice itself, and it’s not you alone kyu~. You don’t have to be a hero for everyone kyu~.

Help those who you want to help, don’t help those who you don’t want to help.

I don’t have any sense of duty or responsibility.

It’s a good match for a self-centered hero.

“Now then, I’ve had you listen to something that might make you feel sick, but this is just a preface kyu~. I’m going to the main topic now, so please listen carefully kyu~.”

“That was a long introduction.”

“It was an important process to get you to understand how serious the problem is kyu~. I think Roze can understand the feelings of a child who doesn’t want to be a magical girl because of this kyu~. But we can not just leave it like this kyu~. Since we (Mokyus) have given them power as magical girls, we (Mokyus) have to protect their lives kyu~.”

“Well, you’re right. Magical girls also have to be protected by someone.”

“Honestly, as long as you do this job, I don’t mind even if you abandon all the other jobs kyu~. That’s just how important this is kyu~.”

“That’s just how important it is right. I’m kind of nervous.”

That said, I don’t feel like giving up on all the other jobs though.

It’s not like because of a sense of responsibility, but I am a hero now.

It’s not like you would be punished for doing your best.

“The job I want Roze to do, is”

“Is?”

“I want you to make everything here disappear.”

The steamed bun makes an appeal while holding out the tablet with its hand.

The one that is there is, of course, the heartless people who spread malice on magical girls.

“Um, you mean like a hitman who kills the magical girls’ hater?

“That’s wrong kyu!!!”

“I think I’ve talked about how ‘Wanderer’ is a mass of malice a few times kyu~.”

“Right.”

“Naturally, slander against magical girls like this can also be the cause of the birth of ‘Wanderer’ kyu~.”

“Right.”

“Roze’s job is to erase the malice gathered here, deliver peace of mind to magical girls, and while you’re at it suppress the occurrence of ‘Wanderer’ kyu~!”

“So the last one is just, while I’m at it, huh.”

“Of course kyu~! To be frank, I may feel sorry that the children who become magical girls are faced with this, but I don’t feel sorry for the ‘Wanderer’ problems kyu~!”

“That’s too blunt.”

I was sitting on my knees listening to the conversation, but this steamed bun, despite the fact that they were the cause of the outbreak, it turned defiant.

These guy is a devil after all.

“I mean, even though we (Mokyus) only created one, it will always, always, always keep appearing kyu! And there is a possibility that from now on it will forever keep appearing, there’s no way I can’t keep feeling sorry that anymore kyu! ! ”

“There, there, calm down. I’m done talking about it, so let’s move on. Let’s pretend I didn’t hear that.”

Well, it would certainly be troublesome to be told to atone forever.

I’m sure this guy is also having a hard time.

I feel sorry for him, so I’ll quit teasing Mokyou about it from now on.

“Sorry, I lost my composure there kyu~. Anyway, I want Roze to erase this malice kyu~.”

“I understand, but how do I do it?”

“First of all, this tablet is for gathering malice toward magical girls like this kyu~. If you gather too much malice, you run the risk of creating a ‘Wanderer’ kyu~. And I purposely create ‘Wanderer’ in this kyu~.”

“Um, are you going to create a ‘Wanderer’? Isn’t it dangerous?”

“There’s no problem kyu~. The inside of the tablet is like a cage, so it’s not that easy to get out kyu~. Besides, even though it’s a ‘Wanderer’, compared to what’s appearing now, it’s a cute mini or petite size kyu~”

Even if you call it a cute “Wanderer”, I have a feeling that no matter how small that abnormal being is, it can’t be cute.

At best, it would be creepy-cute.

After Mokyu touched the tablet several times, a black haze began to rise from the tablet.

“Mokyu, something ominous is leaking.”

“Completed kyu~. This is a small ‘Wanderer’ kyu~. If you just look at the appearance, it’s quite cute kyu~.”

Mokyu raised the tablet while giving off an air of having just finished a job, and turned the screen towards me.

There was a “Wanderer”-like creature with round eyes on a body that looked more squishy rather than viscous, and dull red eyes that are shaking in fright.

This is, that monster?

“How is it kyu~! Originally, the ‘Wanderer’ produced by Mokyu was supposed to be like this kyu~.”

“If it’s just the appearance, certainly it looks harmless, but are you really sure it isn’t dangerous?”

“Of course, if you continue to leave it as it is, it will grow and become just like Roze knows kyu~. Even so, this guy’s fate ends here kyu~. Now, let’s bring down the curtain on that life kyu~.”

“No, I mean how should I do it?”

Somehow Mokyu started to sound like a villain, but I can’t even touch it if it’s in the tablet. Is it okay to just destroy it?

“The method itself is very simple kyu~. Roze transforms and uses all your power, your magic powers, and touches the ‘Wanderer’ on the screen. The tablet itself acts as a magic weapon, so it’s not that difficult kyu~. Anyway, I want you to do it with all your might kyu~.”

“So, I just have to touch with all my might.”

“The one I want you to do with all your might is just the magic power kyu! If you touch the tablet with Rose’s superhuman strength, it will break kyu!”

“What a rude fellow”
 

To say that a girl has superhuman strength would be lacking in delicacy.

It’s not acceptable just because you’re a steamed bun.

After making Mokyu’s body pay for its insensitive remark, I transform to get back to work.

As alwat=ys, clothes with many ribbons and frills look good on me. Let’s look for something like this for loungewear.

“Well, Mokyu. What should I do?”

“Use all your magic power with all your might and touch the ‘Wanderer’ kyu! ‘all your magic power with all your might’ kyu!”

If you strongly stressed that part, I might misunderstand what I should do.

As Mokyu said, I use my magic at full throttle, and aim for the mini “Wanderer”.

The “Wanderer” seems to know that it’s being targeted, it looks back at me with wet eyes while trembling and pleading for mercy.

If you show me that kind of gesture, it will makes me feel like I’m bullying a small animal.

“Ei!”

Well, this guy is not a small animal, so I won’t forgive him.

The moment I touch it, the ‘Wanderer’ explodes as if it’s a balloon that had been pricked with a needle.

Evil has perished.
