Round 3 is between Myul and Yul.
The two, as guardians of the same tribe, had stuck together almost all day since they first entered the lecture hall.
People sent messages asking if they were dating or if school romances were on the table, but the two parties themselves didn’t respond with anything special.
Thus began the match.
The betting on each other was almost identical at 51 to 49, with Yul slightly higher because he was the White Tiger, but the outcome was different.
Kaga kaga kack..!
“Ah, seriously!”
“Hahaha!! Keep trying, Yul!”
“Die, for real!”
Yul slashed at Myul’s entire body with reckless abandon, but only managed to leave scratches thanks to that sturdy turtle shell.
“Huff!”
“Damn…!”
In contrast, Myul was prepared and landed a heavy blow.
In the end, while dodging and holding on, Yul was flung to the ground.
He mumbled, unable to get back up, “Myul, you’re so annoying… always…”
─ Round 3 Myul wins.
[Hahahahaha]
[Another win for the underdog]
[My points!]
[Those two get along so well lol]
[Are they dating?]
[So cute]
[Hearing them talk, they’ve definitely fought a few times]
[Uncomfortable]
[A tiger gets taken down by a centipede]
[Turtle >>> Tiger]
With Yul sprawled out, Myul approached and helped him up.
“Are you okay?”
“I don’t know. Just die.”
Watching the two bicker as they entered made me smile warmly.
So cute.
[Omg omg]
■
─ Now it’s just the two left.
At my words, the two came forward as if they were waiting for this moment.
Leo and Devil were also quite excited, but the ones most looking forward to this were these two.
“…No way.”
Candy Star.
“Feels familiar…”
And Yena.
They faced each other, wielding their respective weapons: a giant lollipop and a dagger.
By the way, Candy Star’s identity was Chota Choka Chuka Chip, and in a mock siege war, she was on the same team as Yena.
Normally, Yena might not have caught on, but at the moment, she might just realize it.
[Who’s going to win this time?]
[Hmm]
[Yena full bet]
[Yena]
[Still, Yena is the favorite, considering the rank lol]
[Magical girl!]
[Haha transformation is a crucial moment]
[Aren’t you ignoring the magical girl?]
[Love and justice are the king’s justice]
[Lololololol]
[Are you going to transform?]
As the odds were being set, the location was also determined.
The place was a devastated city.
Buildings had collapsed, overturned cars were blaring emergency sounds, and the street trees were randomly tipped over.
Lying there.
In Deoen, which is based on medieval fantasy, it’s a sight that’s not often seen.
[Oh]
[What is this, modern times?]
[?]
[Oh, new map]
[Is it because Lily created it?]
[OMG]
[Apocalypse ;;]
[Isn’t a magical girl supposed to be the main background in modern times?]
[Is this a Candy Star moment?]
[With so many obstacles, being an assassin isn’t too bad.]
The city of modern times is often referred to as a forest of buildings.
The more cover there is, the more advantageous it is for an assassin, and that’s just a fact.
“…..No.”
Candy Star sighed dramatically with a look of despair.
It wasn’t that the battlefield was unfavorable.
It was so favorable that victory was almost certain, yet frustration was bubbling up.
‘No, right? It can’t be, right? There’s no way they would show up…’
Hug.
[Candy Star! It’s been a while!]
Oh shit.
■
Long before Candy Star became Candy Star,
She, who was named Choco Choco, was enjoying Deoen.
In the early days of Deoen, there was almost no information at all; everything was new.
There was not even proper information on typical jobs aside from Warrior, Mage, and Thief at that time.
Choco Choco accidentally met a fairy while wandering around the world.
A strange white furball.
[It’s dangerous!]
“…What is?”
Wasn’t it a fairy?
The furball introduced itself as a mascot.
[I am Myeong-myeong the mascot. Our world is in danger right now! Will you help me save the world? I will reward you handsomely!]
A furball suddenly coming to ask for help to save the world.
Choco Choco thought, “What on earth is this?” but decided to give it a shot.
There was no special reason.
‘I want to try anything.’
She had already quit boxing and wanted to roam around the new world freely.
Besides, this seemed somewhat important, didn’t it?
[Class Change / Hidden – Danger of the Magical Kingdom]
Objective – Become ??? and save the dimension connected to the magical kingdom.
Reward – ??? Class Change.
Just when she was waiting, a quest popped up.
That ??? was a bit suspicious, though.
‘It’s just a game, how bad can it be?’
Until that point, Choco Choco, or rather Chi Hana, was completely unaware.
She had no idea that in a mere game, there exists a class penalty that could influence speech and mind.
“Okay. I’ll save you.”
[Great! You are now a magical girl!]
“Huh? What the hell—”
Before she could even ask, the world spun around her.
When she opened her eyes, she was in a modern city. And—
BOOM!
“Aaaah!!!”
She saw a strange monster destroying that city.
A monster she often saw in the cartoons her cousin used to play long ago.
Back then, it was so much fun to watch…
Choco Choco, no longer Choco Choco but now transformed into Candy Star, trembled as she looked down at her body.
She looked down at her body, trembling.
“…What the hell?!”
Her entire body was pink.
Wearing a pink magical girl outfit with a star-shaped gem on her chest and sporting white stockings and gloves.
What’s even more annoying was the gigantic hammer in her hand.
No, what’s this, a giant candy stick…?
“What is this?!”
[You are now the magical girl, Candy Star! Go defeat that monster!]
“Give it back!”
Candy Star was having a meltdown, but the furry little brat just blinked its jellybean-like eyes and shook its head.
[No. Without the power of Magical Girl Candy Star, you cannot face the weapon of the Monster Alliance, Dragonic MK.2.]
“Drag… what?”
[Anyway, Candy Star!]
Suddenly, the fluffy creature’s small hand grabbed Candy Star’s hand.
[It might be tough since it’s your first time! But if you don’t help, this world will be doomed!]
“…Can’t we just let it be doomed?”
[No!]
“This damn world should just perish…!”
PAAAAAH!!!
A pink aura burst from Candy Star’s body.
The lizard that was destroying the city turned its head.
Actually, it was a crazy scientist wearing goggles riding the lizard.
“Oh.”
─Hahaha! Sending another magical girl to die after the last one, is the Magic Kingdom overflowing with magical girls?
[What nonsense! Magical Girl Candy Star won’t go down easily!]
Why are you two fighting?
No, I’d prefer if the two of them just fought without me.
─That’s obvious. Hey, Candy Star!
“…Yes?”
KA-BLAM!
─Let’s see how your precious magical powers can hold up against my masterpiece! Kya-ha-ha-ha-ha! Go! Dragonic MK.2!”
KWA-AAAAH!!
Candy Star thought while staring at the cackling scientist.
Oh my…
This is making my skin crawl.
How the heck did I watch this as a kid?
“This stupid game.”
■
After that, Candy Star defeated the monsters and saved the world.
To be precise, she wanted to quit because it was so dumb, but she couldn’t abandon the quest midway, so she stubbornly saw it through.
Of course, she could have created a new character if she really didn’t want to…
‘Somehow, it feels like I’d be losing otherwise.’
Despite this annoying world, she clenched her teeth and smashed everything, determined not to lose to those crazy idiots.
The furry little thing really was strong.
‘Except for its ridiculous appearance and speech.’
Anyway, after saving the world, the fluffy creature said it was a guy, but she quickly fled.
There was a feeling that staying longer would mess with her mind.
Candy Star gained a hidden class and made an appearance in the world of Deoen, where she became the talk of the town for a brief moment.
The hidden class had been pretty shocking for the early days of Deoen, but there were no particular issues with using powers or character creation.
There were quite a few people stronger than her, and some characters were even weirder than the Monster Alliance.
There were quite a few strong people, and some of their character designs were weirder than any freak alliance.
Of course, since there were also folks taking on the magical girl concept, Candy Star naturally blended in among them.
The problem was transformation.
‘I want to die…’
Every time I transformed or introduced myself to strangers, I involuntarily yelled, “Magical Girl! Transform!”
I seriously wanted to sew my mouth shut, but since it was a catchphrase I had to blurt out, there was no way to stop it unless I quit my job.
So, I ditched it.
[I’ve been waiting so long. Candy Star! You haven’t forgotten me, right?]
I abandoned Candy Star and became Chota Choka Chuka Chip, rising to be a ranker and becoming a pro.
And then I came back.
‘Why?’
Because my lousy cousin who made me watch magical girl shows when I was five sponsored Lily using my ID?
Or maybe because I accidentally won a condensed stone and got an entry ticket?
Nah.
I just came because I wanted to win.
To win, I had to attend classes.
‘Even if I have to become a magical girl again.’
“…Ugh.”
[This place is pretty similar to our world. This is way better than the Magical Kingdom!]
“Why are you here?”
[Candy Star has come back! Since I can’t go to that world anymore!]
The mascot Myeong-myeong went back to the magical kingdom after saving the world.
He was granted permission to come to Deoen because he couldn’t find a talented magical girl in the ‘modern’ world, and now that he had achieved his goal, Myeong-myeong could no longer come to Deoen.
…Well, that’s the setting.
Anyway, I thought I would never see him again.
Unless I was crazy and went back there, there was no way that fluffball would cross over here.
[Is it a battle? I’ll give it my all since it’s been a while!]
But what is this?
No matter how modern the battlefield, how did someone who went back to the magical kingdom suddenly show up here?
…It’s a pointless question.
This fluffball is just a crazy guy making people into magical girls.
Even if I asked, he’d probably just ramble on with useless nonsense.
[Then, Candy Star! Let’s transform!]
“…I’ve already done that.”
[That’s not a transformation!]
…Right. This isn’t my battle form; it’s my casual outfit.
I want to ask why my casual outfit looks like this, but since it has about three times less battle power than my battle form, I have to be in battle form when facing a strong enemy.
And Yena is quite a ‘strong’ enemy.
“…Magical Girl! Transform!”
