“Hore!!! We did it..”
In the middle of a city without inhabitants, three cute girls in colorful clothes perform a victory pose with a carefree manner.
“So, so, fumu-fumu, so so, interesting. Very interesting.”
Meanwhile, there was one other cute girl who was isolated from the three girls. But instead of being sad, he nodded in satisfaction with both fingers holding his chin, as if the question that stuck up earlier had become a pretty smart answer. He lightly raised the corner of his lips, showing a meaningful grin.

The story begins a few hours before the incident.
“Now, how will humans respond to that monster.”
I got out of the Hypermarket and headed to the source of the darkness I felt.
This really makes me curious. In this age of peace it is impossible for humans to achieve it without ignoring the monster attacks.
Monsters as they are known are destructive existences. If it is not dealt with immediately, let alone those that grow around the city, then there is a possibility that the city will be destroyed. They are born from dark or negative human energy, which is then integrated with magic energy to form a destructive existence.
But now humans no longer know magic. Magic is the only thing that can be used against monsters. Without the magic of humans not being able to see monsters, humans would only be confused by the phenomenon of buildings collapsing suddenly. Even though it had magic and could see monsters, not necessarily the magic owner could defeat it. It all depends on the magic mastery level of the user and the level of the monster level.
In ancient times, monsters were classified into four levels, namely low level, middle level, high level, and king level. A low level was a monster that could only make a small amount of damage. Like the one in the old house, the one I had previously kicked out. They were low level monsters. Their shape is small, about the size of feather balls. So they're not dangerous. But this time the middle level appears, which can make damage to simple buildings if not immediately handled.
Especially if it is at a high level up to the king, the damage done by them will be higher, which can be called again an abnormal phenomenon by humans if there are buildings that are suddenly destroyed, strange footprints appear, or else.
It is therefore impossible for humans to make it to this golden age just by ignoring them. There are only three definite possibilities.
First, the monsters that appeared never again reached the more than intermediate level. Because perhaps in this age of peace, the level of hatred is decreasing. So the negative energy source is low.
Second, in the age of science and technology is growing rapidly, it becomes possible if there is a technology that can ward off monsters. But this also meant that there were humans who were aware of the presence of monsters. So a little doubtful.
Third, this is what I think is most likely. That there are still magic users who secretly take care of the monsters. Fighting monsters can also be a good experience for witches, especially in this age of peace, in an era of no more war.
...
After I moved to a deserted place, I immediately flew unnoticed to the scene. Since I just wanted to see, I landed in a safe place. Which still provides a safe distance for humans though.
I don't actually want to be an animal, just observing. But, if there is no response from humans and monsters start to spoil. There's no choice but to take care of it.
But only in the last seconds. Since it was still croco, I could easily remove it for even less than a second.
I sat on the roof of the tallest building, staring at the vortex of black clouds, where monsters would be born. Monsters born are always characterized by a vortex of black clouds, which then from the vortex appears a monster with a certain shape. This is called the monster birth.
“Well, now, is anyone coming?”
The dark vortex had already begun to show the birth of mid-level monsters, but no one had come yet. If it continues like this until the monster is fully born, there is no other choice but to intervene.
“There is no?”
Until the monster was almost completely born, by the time I was ready to intervene. I feel a little nauseous. The nausea I was referring to was a strange feeling that occurred suddenly, since it was impossible for a nauseous vampire. So don't misunderstand me.
“Distortion of space? Could it..”
The corner of my lips lifted when I found out this, as I thought. There are witches who still exist to take care of the monsters. I can't wait to see it.
“But this distortion is not caused by magic. There was indeed magic energy associated, but this was slightly different from the distortions commonly used naturally by high-level mages. It's some kind... tool? Perhaps this distortion was due to the use of magic tools. Naturally, to be able to use space magic, a magician's level should at least be high or otherwise, it would be impossible for him to manipulate space.”
When I muttered the monster was already fully born and the space distortion was almost over. If it continues I can't see how the monsters are dealt with, because this space distortion is aimed specifically at monsters to be transferred to another dimension that is like a mirror from the real world, so other than monsters and users, it's just that, other living things cannot enter it. Although it was impossible for humans to sense let alone see the space distortion, so they would act as usual. Unaware of what is really going on near them.
I secretly forced my way in, but had to keep my existence hidden and be careful not to get caught. Because this dimension will be the territory of the user.
When I saw the fully born monster, he was an imperfect black humanoid. Has two long hands similar to tentacles and body shape is also irregular, like jelly that continues to sway.
He looks like a mud man. So disgusting.
His long hands are elastic so they can lengthen, shorten, and can even regenerate even if they are cut. This would have been an annoying enemy for the average witch in the past.
“That's the monster. Everyone, get ready.”
“Hiiihh, what the hell is that? Disgusting.”
“As Magical Girl, it is our duty to keep the peace of the world from the evil monsters. Although the shape is disgusting.”
When I observed the monsters from a distance, came three young girls facing the mud monster.
Are they, human witches? I wondered.
Didn't the last kid mention ‘Magical Girl’, what is it? Not witches?
For now let's describe those three cute girls. The first was a pink-haired girl who was pinched in two with a pair of cute red ribbons. She was dressed in pink with white as the base.
The second was a blue haired girl, wearing a bright blue dress with long white sleeves, but leaving a blue tint at the ends. The bottom of the skirt is also given white lace as a frill. Her blue hair was made a short bob with hairpins on top of her left temples.
And the latter wears a white dress with a black skirt and a black tie. He also wore black stolking until it covered his thighs. His long black hair was slightly wavy and left unraveled, giving off a genius and resolute impression on his face.
Then each of them also comes with a gold bracelet accessory on his right hand and a ring on his left ring finger.
In addition to the black-haired ones, on their feet are mounted white stolking with shoes adjusting the color of their respective clothes. They also wore white gloves and each carried a wand of different shapes. I can no longer describe its shape, which is important that the wand is not like the witches of old made of wood or bones. The stick was more colorful and seemed to be made of materials other than wood and bones.
To be simplified, their look is prominent and colorful, and more than all of that they are cute girls for girls my age.
That means in terms of appearance, not in terms of actual age.
I assume that the term ‘Magical Girl’ is the latest term from witches in this age.
And more importantly, I felt the blood of other races flowing in their veins.
The dark race for example.
I wonder, have the two races, dark and light shared love so much that they gave birth to mixed offspring?
Because in ancient times it was clear that the two races were in conflict and hostile until there was always war almost every day. What happened to both races after I fell asleep for so long.
I was a little curious, but this was as expected. There is no conflict that makes me bored and overwhelmed again.
But it also answers some questions regarding monster handling. With the blood of the dark race flowing down his body, they also had the nature of the dark race. It has magic talent from birth so it can feel magic energy and especially see monsters. With that talent they could instantly learn to manipulate and convert magic energy into other forms. Unlike ordinary humans who had to learn to sense magic energy first to be able to at least master light magic.
This is also what makes a mixed race perhaps superior because it has two characteristics of different races, dark and light.
That is why they no longer have the weaknesses that characterize the dark and light races. But it should also be shared for each of the advantages of each race. So it could be said they were half-baked girls, who could not bring out the full potential of the dark and light races.
“SERANGGGG!!”
Oops, while I was thinking about various things, the girls had already started raiding those muddy monsters.
