Poor magical girls, work for me!

Chapter 44: Chainsaw Magical Girl - Homura Hisakawa

the other side.

After hearing what Momona Sena had told her about the high-level resentful monster—the rhinoceros beetle.

The task of recruiting.

Ryosuke Miyagi immediately thought of Yukio Matsushima.

As a kind-hearted senior, she was well-liked both at work and in the extraordinary world.

And the magical girl they introduced is reliable.

Therefore, the task of finding and hiring a magical girl with extremely high attack power and armor-piercing ability fell to her.

Due to the confirmation of employment status.

With just a phone call, Matsushima Yukio voluntarily went to the Chome area to meet the magical girl who met Miyagi Ryosuke's requirements.

It's 9 PM now...

The deserted streets of Chome Ward...

Matsushima Yukio's gaze fell on the figure not far away who was squatting on the ground, poking at the monster's remains with a chainsaw, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

This was the first time she came to see for herself.

We need to confirm whether Hikawa's manic nature has been toned down even a little bit.

And now it's clearly not...

"Hikawa...Hikawa!"

Matsushima Yukio called out.

hum...

Hikawa didn't stop what she was doing; she just kept raising the chainsaw and looking at the black liquid remaining on the saw teeth in the moonlight.

"Can we sell this thing? It looks pretty interesting; maybe we can get a few silver coins for it."

"Hikawa... put the chainsaw down first, I have something important to tell you."

"oh."

The girl known as "Hikawa" finally stood up and looked in the direction of Matsushima Yukio.

With her petite frame, she casually hoisted the chainsaw, which was taller than her, onto her shoulder.

Under the streetlights, Gwyde's bright red hair stood out. He wore a red battle suit that resembled Momose Sena's, except for slight differences in style and details.

Another fire-type magical girl.

Her long, crimson hair was tied high in a ponytail at the back of her head, with a few stray strands falling across her forehead and sides, damp with sweat and clinging to her cheeks, which were slightly flushed from the battle.

Her eyes were a very clear, translucent black.

But that chainsaw was the real focus.

The jet-black saw teeth were covered in a strange black slime, and the casing of the chainsaw kept expanding and contracting like the skin of a euphoric creature.

"Senior Yukio, you just mentioned on the phone that someone wants to hire me?"

Hikawa tilted her head, her ponytail swinging to the other side with the movement.

"How much? Is it a lot? Can I buy a new toy?"

Matsushima Yukio rubbed her temples.

In fact, Hikawa's family wasn't poor at all. They were even quite wealthy, but she was a spendthrift and caused a lot of trouble. She used to not care about money at all; if someone or something could be solved with money, it wasn't a problem.

But after a year, her wallet seemed to be struggling, and the frequency of her battles began to decrease.

They even started taking the initiative to accept bounties for monsters.

"He's a reliable boss, very generous. This time he doesn't need ordinary combat personnel, but rather a heavy firepower configuration with armor-piercing capabilities. After thinking it over... only you..."

Matsushima Yukio's gaze fell on the large chainsaw on Hisawa's shoulder.

"So you thought of me, senior!"

Hisakawa's eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed to Matsushima Yukio in three quick steps, her ponytail swinging wildly in the wind.

"I'm willing! I'm willing! As long as the fight doesn't cost me money, I'm willing! And when will we meet? Now? Where? What does he look like? Is he handsome? Is he rich?"

"Could you ask me one question at a time?"

"No, I'm too excited!"

Hikawa slammed the chainsaw into the ground, clasped his hands together, and his eyes practically sparkled with excitement.

"You know, senior, it's been such a long, long time since I've received a decent commission! Those stingy investigators are always saying things like, 'Hikawa, you're too destructive,' 'Hikawa, you always lose money in battle,' and 'Hikawa, can you please stop using chainsaws?' Please, what am I supposed to use if not chainsaws? Love? And to avoid spending money to settle those things, I haven't fought any monsters in ages, so today I'm going to let loose!"

After saying that, Hikawa turned around, picked up the chainsaw with one hand, and pulled the ring at the end!

hum! !

The chainsaw's teeth began to spin wildly! Flames began to dance on the teeth!

Hisakawa's red hair was still flowing...

Click click click…

The chainsaw was suddenly pressed down!

She slammed the chainsaw into the remaining monster corpse on the ground!

As fragments of the monster flew through the air, its corpse was completely destroyed...

Then she turned around and met Matsushima Yukio's helpless eyes, and her relaxed face instantly fell.

"Senior Yukio..." Her voice trailed off, sounding as aggrieved as a large dog drenched in rain.

She kicked away the pebbles at her feet, and the pebbles rolled a long way away, hitting the wall with a "thud".

"I really want to kill monsters! But after I'm done, I still have to pay out of my own pocket to repair roads, houses, and utility poles! Last time, that investigator, the one with the glasses, actually said I 'demolished more buildings than the monsters did!'"

Matsushima Yukio walked over and stood in front of Hisawa, her tone becoming serious: "So, I have an opportunity for you."

"An opportunity?" Hisakawa blinked.

"My boss, whom I mentioned to you on the phone before."

Matsushima Yukio paused.

"He recently wants to hunt down a high-level monster and needs someone with strong combat skills, preferably someone who is good at armor penetration and heavy firepower."

Hikawa tilted her head, waiting for the rest of the story.

"You're the first person I thought of."

Hikawa blinked, a hint of uncertainty in her voice, and patted the chainsaw she was holding in her right hand with her left.

"He won't mind if I... am too destructive? What if I have to pay for damages?"

Matsushima Yukio looked at her and suddenly smiled: "That's exactly the kind of person he wants."

Himawari was stunned.

For the first time, an almost blank expression appeared on that usually carefree face.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. In the end, she just blinked and her eyelashes fluttered twice.

"……real?"

"real."

There was a two-second silence.

Then Hisakawa suddenly moved closer to Matsushima Yukio, almost touching her face, and asked in a low voice, "Then that boss."

Is he the kind of older man with a particularly storied air about him? Like, the kind who stands in the shadows, a cigarette dangling from his lips, with deep, penetrating eyes, a low, guttural voice, and whose first words are, "Young lady, this world is far more complex than you imagine?"

Matsushima Yukio: "…………"

She took a deep breath: "Hikawa."

"Um?"

"You should read less shoujo manga."

"I didn't!"

Hikawa immediately protested, her ponytail swinging back and forth with her excited movements.

"I'm just speculating! A rich man who's willing to hire me to fight is either incredibly stupid or genuinely capable! He's definitely not the kind of guy who's incredibly stupid, right?"

Matsushima Yukio thought about Miyagi Ryosuke's young and handsome face, then about his casual gesture of handing out gold coins, and finally nodded: "It shouldn't be... that."

"That's right!" Hikawa slapped his thigh.

The slap landed solidly, causing the flesh on the thigh to tremble slightly, and the smooth, taut lines of the calf encased in black over-the-knee boots to quiver as well.

So where is he now?

Hikawa was completely excited, jumping up and down twice. "I want to see him! Right now! Immediately! Right now!"

Matsushima Yukio glanced at the time, then at the red-haired girl in front of her who was completely unable to contain herself and was practically about to take off, and sighed.

"I'll give him a call and ask."

She took out her phone, then looked up and stared at Hikawa.

"But you have to promise me you'll act normal when you meet them."

"Of course!" Hisakawa patted his chest to assure him.

"I'm very polite!"

Matsushima Yukio looked at her pretty face, which was full of "excitement," paused for a second, and then lowered her head to start dialing.

The phone rang twice and was answered.

"Ryosuke-kun, it's me."

Her voice regained its usual composure. "That magical girl you mentioned before, the one with immense destructive power… I've met her. She's right here beside me. Would it be convenient for us to meet?"

A brief response came from the other end of the phone.

Matsushima Yukio hummed in agreement, hung up the phone, and looked up.

Hikawa had already moved close to her, her eyes shining like two little suns: "What do you mean? What do you mean?"

"He agreed."

Matsushima Yukio put away her phone.

"Go now?"

"He doesn't need to come right away."

"By the way, senior, what's the boss's name again?"

"Ryosuke Miyagi".

"Ryosuke Miyagi, Ryosuke-kun!"

Himawari rolled the name around in her mouth, grinning. "It sounds nice!!"
