The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World

Side: Maria Morishima

- Once upon a time, I was bullied.

I've been drawing all my comics at school, and I was the type of kid who spends time alone at his desk in the corner of the classroom.

And when I was in sixth grade, I was to be hospitalized for six months for lung disease.

Although there is nothing else in life, it seems to be a slightly prone illness and absolute rest is the condition for full healing... so that is the treatment.

So, even in the hospital room, I've been painting in sketchbooks.

There's nothing to do, and I'd rather paint than go to school and be a jerk... well, it's a fact that I felt easier there.

So, one day, two weeks have passed since I was hospitalized.

"Hey, you?

It was the woman in the next bed who spoke to me.

I'm three years older than I am...... sophomore in middle school. You should be one younger than your brother.

"... what?

"Don't you ever get tired of painting every day?

"... I'm not tired of it."

"Hmm...... can I show you something?

The woman who received the sketchbook turned the page with perplexity and clogged the words.

"... animated paintings... or"

"Weird? Everyone in my class says it's creepy or something."

"No, I don't think so"

"Why?"

"You like it, don't you?

"Yeah."

"Because I can't make fun of something people seriously like"

With those words, my breasts thundered like they had been eagled.

"But I suck, and everyone in my class... make fun of me"

"But you didn't quit painting. I didn't give up what I liked. Didn't I?

Think often, I said.

"Well, I guess that's what's gonna happen"

To my words, the woman smiled and said:

"I think that's a nice thing."

"But you suck at shit, huh? I don't think he's talented."

"Talent...... right. Hey, you? What's your name?"

Just a thought, I said my name honestly.

"Maria Morisha"

"Hey, Maria?

"I don't give up what I like. People call that... talent, don't they?

Again, my heart gets eagled.

……

"Tears? Hey, you? What's the matter with you?

Yes, in this man's words, for some reason I was so impressed that I started crying.

"That's how you said it to me... I lost it from nobody..."

"... yeah"

"... if I'm being honest with you about how I feel right now... I think I'm happy"

"... well"

……

……

"Um... sister? Name...... what?

"Maki... Maki Sakagami"

"... from now on, call me Sister Maki... okay?

There would have been some tension.

Honestly, some of you would have been happy.

Anyway, I... I said those words to Mr. Sakami.

And then...

It wasn't until a few days later that I found out that my sister Maki had leukemia.

She was also in a pretty bad condition and was transferred to the intensive care unit three months later.

That's how three months went by since then, counting from that day on to the day of my discharge.

The facts were better said than the novel to be strange, and a few days after I was discharged, I met with a car accident.

He got stuck in a truck and crashed from his abdomen into a guardrail dozens of meters away.

Make sure your guts are ruined, I'm conscious of death, and...

- A reaper appeared in front of me.

"Kissi...... I'm a domin, moku. If you'll be a magic girl, I can help you now."

Like a bear mascot doll...... no, the Zubari mascot stood there itself.

"Come on, you want to live, Moku? Or a moku who wants to die?

Nicole and an adorable laughing mascot doll.

I look at my abdomen - I have zero guts, and it doesn't seem to be long ahead of me anyway.

Well, you're in trouble.

What's troubling is that I don't feel any pain, I just have a paralysis spreading in my abdomen.

Oh, this isn't good.

Pain is a sign of danger to life, and I'm beyond that, anyway...

So the brain is transmitting signals to me in the form of a civile.

Therefore, goosebumps ran all over my body.

That is, because I fully understood the definite death.

I said - spitting blood.

"I want to live... yet... I don't want to die..."

"As a magic girl, you understand you want to live, don't you?

I don't know exactly what you're talking about.

But... even if this was the Devil's contract.

I nodded there against the mascot who slowly named me Domin.

"I've heard your wish. Now you're a magic girl from today on."

At the same time that Domin's words on the mascot are finished, my... torn abdomen will be repaired at some point, and...

- I don't know how long it's been, but the girl who showed up at some point at the scene of the accident was staring at me sadly falling.

"Maki...... sister?

"... you've come to this world too."

"Why? Sister Maki has leukemia..."

Full and Sister Maki shook their heads left and right.

"Yeah, it is true that the world is generally supposed to have had a miraculous recovery. But the reality is that... instead of selling his soul to the devil, he could have survived..."

"The Devil?"

Sister Maki turns her gaze to Domin the mascot like she sees dirt.

"Ha, I'm the devil? This is out-of-heart. Moku. This one saved your life, didn't it?

"I'm gonna throw up. Those who know the importance of life...... that is why their obsession with life is strong. So you're here scouting for my transported terminal ward, right?

"Hey, don't you have to do a newer lecture than that?

Sister Maki made an indescribable look.

"... so is that. Welcome to the Magic Girl World."

And so Sister Maki shook her head left and right as she gave up.

"- No, to the world of manshura."

That's all I said, Sister Maki grinned sadly.
