2 - I've Become A Magical Girl

T/N: Keisuke will now use female pronouns since the reveal is over.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THIIIISSSS!!!????”

Keisuke screams as she realizes that she’s both become a female and her company’s mascot character, “Lulurun.”

Frilly costume, long blue hair fluttering in the wind, big eyes with long eyelashes, there is no mistaking her, because this is the company’s mascot character who Keisuke designed, the Magical Girl Lulurun.

“No, wait, calm down, I get it! This is a dream! There’s a chance it’s a dream, there’s a chance…”

There is no way her body’s a woman now. There is no possibility at all that she’s a woman.

But no matter what method she used to confirm it, she was female, with the body of a young lady… and trying to check only made it clear that Keisuke had become a woman.

“What, why? I’m sure I’m I was heading out of the… office.”

A bright red memory flashes back to her past.

“I was… killed”

Was it the work of his competitors?

“You robbed me of everything! You got to build a company like this! You didn’t lose anything! My family! My job! My everything!!!!”

It lingers clearly in her mind. Someone whose face she doesn’t even know whose life she had ruined because of MHG…

But it doesn’t matter who she was, her actions have made someone unhappy…

That is an undeniable fact.

Keisuke wondered if this was the vengeance of the world, that she did something unreasonable for the company, for her employees, and so on, she dropped to her knees.

She never thought she would ever pay for her unreasonable mistakes in this manner.

However, she was sure she was resented, stabbed, and died, but for some reason, this is happening now.

“Ah, this is,” she said.

Something from anime or manga…

“Did I reincarnate?”

It’s something she’s often seen in manga, but still.

“Hahaaa, oh, so that’s it, I wonder if I wished to have my gender fixed, but there has to be some sort of reincarnation bonus or cost.”

Was it really a “Reincarnate in Another World” situation with the bonus of a sex change?

“AAAAAHHHH!!!”

The bystanders in town are surprised as Keisuke suddenly screamed. As she smacks her face twice, Keisuke opens her big blue, shining, clear eyes and looks up toward the heavens.

The cry, which resembled a wail of despair, was surprisingly the opposite thing.

“Thank you, God, whatever shape I’m in now, I’m alive now! I mean, probably, yeah! I’m alive!”

The feeling of raw satisfaction gives Keisuke the power to look toward the future. You can do anything as long as you are alive, yes! Even if she can’t use magic, even if she became Lulurun, Keisuke just accepts with gratitude and joy the gift of life she’d taken for granted.

“I don’t know why, but it doesn’t matter, the fact that I’m alive is important, I’m alive now.”

She should think about why you were reincarnated and what this world is like, but the fact that she’s alive again is many times more important than those.

At the same time as enjoying the pure joy of life, however, Keisuke feels something off.

“Huh?”

There’s a discomfort in the air around her that bring up emotions Keisuke forgot about.

In the wind, in the earth, she felt nostalgic things that should have disappeared…

“Evil intent?” she asked.

It was then that she noticed something off.

“I’m begging you! Please stop!”

She looked back at the shouting, one woman was surrounded by several men.

“It’s okay, isn’t it, come play with us,” one of the men said.

“Please stop,” the woman whimpers.

“We’re witch kindred, you know? You should know what that means.”

Even with so many people around, 100% cookie-cutter villains are performing your standard surrounding a helpless townswoman.

“I, have to go to work now…” the woman said.

“That’s fine, it’s fine, you can just skip today, yeah?” one of the thugs said.

“I can’t just skip work, I can’t!”

“Are you serious?”

The thugs laugh at the woman’s serious reaction and continue provoking the lady who wanted nothing to do with them.

“You bastards, the Knights of the Holy Empire will be here soon to arrest you!” one of the residents called out.

“The Knights of the Holy Empire, huh?” Keisuke asked.

One of the villains heard the townsperson’s voice and loudly replied, “That so? Bring ’em here! If they’re prepared to mess with the Witch of the East!”

Then, the men who claimed to be “witch kindred” laugh with ugly smirks.

The people around me couldn’t do anything with that attitude, they could just stare at the scene, and then began whispering about why there were witch kindred in the city.

Keisuke doesn’t know much about this world, but there are times when she can clearly see the situation without explanation.

“I can’t stand this!” Keisuke snapped.

Maybe there’s a reason, but Keisuke wasn’t the type of person to overlook those in need.

“I know you, this situation,” Keisuke said.

Now that Keisuke has realized this was the “Reincarnated in Another World” template, she dashingly stood up to the thugs to protect the women who was almost surrounded.

“What the hell are you?” the thugs asked.

“Let go of her,” Keisuke said.

“Huuh?” the thug taunts.

Keisuke wrests the man’s hand from the girl and stands up proudly as was cliché.

“I despise this sort of thing, you know?” Keisuke said. “Stop this, boys.”

Upset spreads through the villains, because it wasn’t a muscular man or ruggedly handsome man who tried to stop them…

It was a beautiful, dainty, cute girl.

“Get the hell out of here already,” Keisuke said.

As the surrounded lady escapes, Keisuke confronts several men, a reckless match-up that she couldn’t win by any stretch of the imagination.

“You…” one of the thugs hisses.

“H-Hey,” another said.

“What the?” the first replied.

“That kid,” the other said.

The thugs start whispering among themselves.

“What’s wrong? Are you scared? Are you guys without guts that only one girl can make you back down?” Keisuke asked.

“She’s cute……”

The provocation is returned with an unexpected compliment.

“Cute.”

“Huh?” Keisuke asked.

“She’s cute, isn’t she, hey! You, what’s your name?”

“My name?” Keisuke asked.

“That’s right, you know what? We don’t give a fuck about that woman earlier, you should go out with us!!!”

“You know what happens if you don’t, understand?”

The evil gazes tried to force her to submit, the look of self-interest was something Keisuke had seen so many times, it’s repulsive, the world is full of this scum everywhere, and Keisuke’s face twists from the bad memories of her previous life.

“A guy like me hates guys like like you,” Keisuke says. 1

An aura of anger from Keisuke’s whole body, but it has the opposite effect on the thugs.

""

“Ooooh, that’s nice, she’s a feisty little kid, I can’t get enough of her!”

“Cute!”

“I’ll take that!”

“Dumbass! She’s mine!”

“So cute!”

“Little Missy! If you go against us, you’ll get hurt, so you should listen to what we say.”

The thugs all start doing some cheap talk, Keisuke ignores them, and until one of them starts to speak familiar words.

“This power, become a flame that burns the earth, manifest as a seal! Kura Burn.”

“Wha????”

It was magic, a great power lost in Keisuke’s original world, and now that man was definitely magically igniting the palm of his hand.

Dancing flames surrounds Keisuke.

“Magic?”

“Whether you burn or become our toy, come on! Choose!” the spellcasting thug snaps.

As soon as Keisuke saw the flames, she approaches the thugs at a tremendous speed, grabs the hand that is emitting flames and observes it seriously.

“The fuck, what are you doing? This is too close, you sure you want to be here?” the spellcasting thug said.

“Hey, what is this?” Keisuke asked. “Are you burning fuel and adding an ignition source from somewhere?”

When she observed his palm, there was the figure of a crystal with an engraving on it, a magicist.

“A magicist… then, could this be?”

“You’re a fucking idiot!” the thug yelled. “This is magic!! Magic!! I’m a witch kindred, blessed by a witch! Don’t fuck with me, do what I say, or I’ll burn you.”

Magic, a miracle lost from Keisuke’s original world, a lost miracle is definitely before her eyes.

“Magic……” Keisuke whispered.

“That’s right! It’s magic!” the thug yelled.

“It’s magic, isn’t it?” Keisuke said.

“It’s magic, didn’t I already say that!”

“Uuuuuuhhhh,” Keisuke whines, tearing up. “UuuaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!”

The thugs are frightened by seeing the girl suddenly crying.

“HiiiiinbyaaaaaAAAAAAAhhhh!!”

“Woah, why are you crying?” the man said.

“Because it’s magic, can you believe it? You’re using magic!!!”

“The hell is wrong with you!? If you’re afraid of magic, do what I sa–”

“Felga.”

A gust blows mid-speech.

“AaaaaaaaAAAAAYYYYAAAaaaahhhh…!”

One of them blows away with the sudden burst of wind.

“Huh?”

Everyone present was stunned by the suddenness of it all.

""

Keisuke wipes her tears, takes a breather, and takes in the magical particles. The girl before the thugs just used magic. Keisuke trembles as she feels the sensation in her palms, for the first time in 5 years.

“Are witches hated in this world?” Keisuke asked.

In the form of a little girl was an apparently crazy magician, Yokoi Keisuke, a great wizard with the title of “Tanzanite,” one of her original world’s best magicians, the facts put intense pressure on the thugs.

“We get it now!” the thugs said, nodding and trying to flee backward. “We realize how much we fucked up trying to hit on you right now since you’re a mage!!!”

“Ah, wait a minute!!” Keisuke asked.

“Wha-What is it?” the thugs asked.

“We’ll remember this! That’s all I wanted you to say, you can leave now,” Keisuke said.

“… We’ll remember this!” the thugs said. “Ah, excuse us…”

With permission from Keisuke, they politely bade goodbye and fled.
