Part 5
“Prism Disk Attack──!”
Whooooosh!
The disk tore through the air at a tremendous speed, passing far above Debipachi and disappearing into the void.
“…Ara?!”
“…It didn’t even graze It-maru.”
“Wow, it really was a UFO… It went back into the sky…”
Kaori and the others watched the disappearing disk in a daze…
Debipachi, who had been distracted by the disk for a moment, raised its tentacles to crush Noah again…
“Gyagyagya~~~!”
“Ugyaaaaa!? It was useless, after all. I can’t be saved. I’m going to die. Help me, Kaori-saaaannn!”
“No-Noah-saaaann!”
At that moment, the disk that had disappeared into the stratosphere came back in an arc.
It spun violently and hit Debipachi right in the face.
“Huh?”
BAAANNGGG!
“Gyagyagya~~~!?”
“Owaa──! The UFO has returned──!”
“W-wow, Kaori-maru! I had no idea that your plan was to distract Debipachi and then attack it by surprise… As expected of you, Kaori-maru! You’re too good-maru!”
“Huh? No, that’s not it…?”
The black color immediately flies off Debipachi’s body, which was hit directly, and changes to a rainbow color.
“Gya, gya…!”
“You purified a Debipachi that big with a single shot-maru?!”
“As expected from Kaori-san, you’re amazing!”
“That’s strange. I was aiming for the Debipachi from the beginning, but… I’m still glad it hit!”
“Alright, I’ll collect it in the shiny octopus jar-maru~~~!”
“Gyagyagya~~~!?”
Sumimaru immediately used the octopus jar to collect the Debipachi.
The Debipachi was sucked into the jar, and silence returned to the area.
The athletes and spectators who had been watching in a daze applauded.
“O-oohh-ohhhhhh~~~!”
“I can’t believe you beat that monster! You’re amazing, Papipuri!”
“Thank you for saving us! Papipuri is as strong and cute as they say!”
“That was amazing, just like in the movies! I’m going to upload the video I made to my SNS!”
“O-oh, I’m so glad I could help!”
The applause and cheers that filled the venue never seemed to end.
In this way, Kaori and Noah solved another case as magical girls.
＊＊＊
“The winner of the girls’ 100-meter dash is… Kazama Kaede-san, from the first year of the Ousei Academy!”
After the commotion caused by the Debipachi was resolved.
The tournament resumed successfully, and the finals of all the events were completed without a hitch.
Then came the closing ceremony.
Kaede had won the restarted finals and was to be awarded a prize.
As she received the trophy, surrounded by applause, she hugged her friends and rejoiced.
“You did it, Kaede!”
“You worked harder than anyone!”
“I couldn’t have done it without you; thank you!”
And so the closing ceremony came to an end, and the grounds became sparsely populated.
Kaede looked at the trophy by herself, remembering the magical girls who had helped her out of her predicament.
“I was able to win thanks to their help. I noticed that they were gone, but I wanted to thank them again.”
At that moment, someone called out to Kaede.
“Kaede-san!”
“Ah, Kaori and Noah-chan!”
Kaori and Noah ran over.
They looked at the trophy in Kaede’s arms and smiled happily.
“We saw that you won first place. Congratulations!”
“Wow, this trophy looks even more shiny and expensive when you look at it up close… sniff, sniff, it’s really beautiful!”
“Hehe, thanks for your support. Thank you so much! But you know, I think I have to work harder.”
“Eh?”
Kaori and Noah were surprised by the unexpected words.
“At this tournament, I really felt that there were people better than me.”
“Even though you won?”
“What do you mean…?”
Kaede leaned forward enthusiastically as the two of them looked puzzled.
“The twin-tailed magical girl was… soooooo fast at running!”
“Heehh?”
Ignoring Noah’s stunned voice, Kaede continued to speak with great force.
“She had a beautiful running form, and she was looking straight ahead, and she was just so fast… I think she was running for some kind of uncompromising goal. She looked so cool. …When I saw her, I thought to myself, I still have a long way to go…”
“Ah, ahaha…”
“Ka_kaede-san, I’m sure that magical girls have special training. You shouldn’t worry too much…”
“Yeah… you’re right.”
Kaede smiled with lowered eyebrows, suddenly transfixed by Noah’s face.
“Hey, come to think of it, that girl looks a bit like Noah-chan, doesn’t she…?”
“What? No way. Is it just a coincidence that she looks like someone else? Uhehehe, uhehehe!?”
“Noah, you’re too bad at faking it-maru.”
At that moment, the members of the track and field club called out to Kaede.
“I can’t stay here; I have to go back to the others! I’ll work even harder! See you later!”
Kaede waved with a smile and walked away.
“Ah, that was close, I almost became a rival to Kaede-san…!”
“But… I’m really glad that Kaede-san won the race.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m glad she’s so happy-maru! After all, a smile suits a cute girl best-maru! We also managed to get the Debipachi back, so it’s all settled-maru!”
“Phew, but I’m so thirsty after all that running…”
Noah suddenly looked up at the sky as the sun began to set.
“Oh, a cream soda! You promised me that if we beat the Debipachi, you’d buy me a super delicious cream soda from that cafe! It’ll be best if we drink it now!”
“After running so far, can you still eat? Amazing-maru!”
“Fufu, it’s a reward for hard work.”
And so the group went to the cafe in high spirits.
But…
“S-so that’s it…?”
Noah slumped down in despair in front of the cafe they had arrived at.
The sign on the shop said, “The cream soda is sold out!
“Awawawa… Noah-san, I’m sorry we couldn’t get it today, but let’s come back next time, okay?”
“It says, ‘Next serving undecided!’ Well, as you would expect from the cream soda, I wonder when we’ll be able to get it next time-maru~.”
“Awa, awawa…!”
“Uwaaaaaah, I worked so hard for this~! This is so unfair~!”
Noah’s wailing echoes through the twilight sky.
And so, the Debipachi incident at the track meet was resolved without incident.
However, the two of them didn’t know that behind the scenes, people were starting to talk about Papipuri.
