Part 3
While Sawada was being held hostage.
“This is a big problem! Sawada-sensei…”
“We have to save them! Let’s transform, Noah-san!
“Yes!”
The two raised their wands.
“A sparkling world of seven colors! Perfect Pure Princess, dress up!”
The two voices rang out, and the lobby was enveloped in a dazzling light.
“W-what is this?”
“It’s so bright…!”
The rainbow glow caused the robbers and customers to involuntarily close their eyes – and in the next instant, the two magical girls appeared.
“Magical Girls Papipuri, we’ve arrived!”
“You’re finished! We won’t forgive your crimes!”
“W-who the hell are those girls?”
A wave of panic swept through the robbers.
However, even though they were criminals, they seemed reluctant to kill people and did not fire their weapons.
Meanwhile, the customers and employees were wide-eyed.
“Oh, it’s Papipuri!”
“I saw her on the news the other day!”
“Help, Papipuri!”
Kaori braced herself and faced the leader.
“Resistance is useless! Now release the hostages──”
Before Kaori could finish, Noah jumped out.
“Ugh! You scoundrels, trying to get rich by dirty means! You’ll pay for this, huh? What is that…!”
“Noah-san!?”
Noah’s gaze was drawn to the large pile of bills the employees were preparing.
“Oh nooooo! It’s a stack of bills! -Pyaaah!?”
“Kyaaaa!?”
Thud!
Her feet got tangled as she tried to reach the money, and she grabbed Kaori’s arm, causing them both to fall spectacularly.
“Ouch… Are you okay, Noah-san?”
“Piiiii, I hit my nose really hard…”
Taking advantage of the distraction, the leader-looking man quickly gave orders.
“Catch them!”
“O-okay!”
The robbers came to their senses and quickly restrained the two.
“O-oh, stop it!”
“I-I can’t breathe…”
The robbers looked down at Kaori and the others, who were tied up with rope.
“What a bunch of idiots.”
“But who are these people? They just appeared out of nowhere…”
“Could they be those magical girls everyone is talking about?”
“Anyway, lock them in the back room.”
The two were thrown into the back room, still tied back to back.
“Kyaa!”
“Ouch! Hey, treat a lady more gently!”
“Shut up! Just stay quiet in there!”
The door was slammed shut.
“Ugh! What savages!”
Noah shouted defiantly, but then collapsed dejectedly.
“Ugh, I’m so careless… I’m sorry, Kaori-san…”
“No, I’m glad you’re not seriously hurt.”
“Still, that Debipachi, teaming up with humans…! I’ve never seen anything like it!”
“Anyway, we have to get out of here somehow, or everyone will be worried…”
“Leave it to me! I’ll cut these ropes in no time! Grrrrrrrrrrr!”
Noah struggled and squirmed, trying to free himself from the ropes.
Then Kaori, who was tied up with the same ropes, was squeezed tightly.
“Ah, Noah-san, don’t move… The ropes are digging into my skin… Ugh!”
“I think I’m almost free! Mmmmmmmmm!”
“Hyah, ah, no, I can’t breathe!”
“Ufufufu, good job-maru! The rope is digging in perfectly! The robbers did a good job, didn’t they? Ufufufu…”
“S-Sumimaru-san!?”
When they noticed, Sumimaru had turned into a fairy and was flying around happily.
“Ah, Sumimaru! Noah and the others were in trouble, and you were just hanging around!”
“You’re so stupid, you got caught because you were distracted by money-maru. I knew something like this would happen, so I disguised myself as a key chain and stuck to Kaori’s skirt-maru. Now it’s my turn for shine-maru!”
“You’re amazing, Sumimaru-san!”
“Ufufufu, you can praise me more if you want to-maru. You can even kiss me on the cheek if you want-maru.”
“Just untie the rope already!”
“I know, I know-maru. This rope is no match for me-maru! I’ll untie it in no time-maru! Hmmmm!”
Sumimaru struggles to untie the rope that binds them.
But the knot is too tight to move, and Sumimaru’s eyes well up with tears.
“Ugh, it’s too tight-Maru. My white squid-like tentacles can’t handle it-maru.”
“You’re completely useless! What is this ‘maru’ nonsense? Stop acting cute or I’ll turn you into a barbecued squid!”
“Excuse me-maru! I’m not just any squid, I’m a versatile squid-type High Mobility Support Guardian Fairy, Model No. 1, Lacquer Style. That’s right-maru! I have a last weapon for emergencies! Nuooooo~~…!”
Sumimaru began to gather his strength as if he had thought of something.
“Sumimaru-san, what are you…?”
Kaori asked as Sumimaru’s entire body released a stream of slime.
“Come out, ‘Slimey Slimey-kun’! Bwahahaha!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Ubububububububu!?”
A large amount of slime attacks Kaori and Noah.
“W-what are you doing, Sumimaru? Covering young maidens with slime is a crime worthy of death!”
“What are you talking about-maru? The ultimate weapon, Slimey-Slimey-Kun, is transparent slime-maru. It’s definitely not disgusting maru! It only looks disgusting because Noah’s heart is dirty-maru!”
“What are you talking about, you perverted squid?”
“Ugh, my whole body is slimy…”
Kaori twisted her body to wipe her face, and her hand slipped out of the rope.
“Ah!? My arm is free!”
“Now we can escape!”
“We did it-maru! It’s a success-maru! Heh, the slime release function installed for emergencies came in handy-maru!”
“E-Emergencies…?”
“What on earth is that feature for?”
“It’s obviously for rescuing beautiful girls captured by villains, duh!”
“It’s annoying to be rescued by such a perfectly disgusting ultimate weapon…! But since I’m a beautiful girl, I’ll accept it willingly!”
“Oh, Noah is just a bonus-maru.”
“H-huuuuuhhhhh!? I guess you’re just meant to be grilled squid~~~!”
“T-this isn’t the time to be fighting amongst ourselves… We need to do something about Debipachi-san quickly…!”
The two used the slime to free themselves from the ropes.
“W-we got away! That was amazing, Sumimaru-san!”
“Ufufufu, I really am a cool squid-shaped fairy, aren’t I-maru?”
“Ugh, it’s still slimy… But at least we’re free!”
Noah shook off the slime and set her eyes on fire.
Kaori hurriedly stopped Noah, who was about to run out of the room.
“Wait, Noah-san! There might be guards outside!”
“Those guys are no match for Noah and Kaori-san! As long as we don’t get caught, there’s nothing to worry about!”
“But there were people with weapons. Maybe we should come up with a plan first──”
“It’s okay, a gun like that can’t shoot, it’s just for show! Things like that are better done on impulse! Let’s start with this… Uriyaaaaaa~~~ ‘You, insideeeeee’!”
Noah began to infuse the slime on her hands with magic.
At that moment, the door opened and two guards appeared.
“What’s all that noise? What are you doing?”
Noah didn’t hesitate and threw the slime at the men.
“Take this, magical slime!”
“What the…!? What is that…?”
“Gah, it’s slippery… Gyaaah!”
The rainbow-colored slime covered the guards’ faces.
The slime also entangled their feet, causing them to fall spectacularly and hit their heads, knocking them unconscious.
“Th-That’s amazing, Noah-san!”
“Hahahaha! How about that? I’ve redeemed myself!
“You’re on a roll! Keep it up and take down the Robber-maru!
“Yes!”
Kaori and the others rushed out of the room and into the lobby.
Sawada, the first to notice, let out a cry of surprise.
“It’s the Magical Girls!”
The robbers also stared in astonishment.
“What!? How did you get out of there!?”
“What are the guards doing!?”
Kaori glared at the robbers, who were confused.
“The guards are taking a little nap!”
“W-what!?
“Hmph, those guys are no match for us! Come on, be a good boy and let us take you in…”
Noah’s eyes were drawn to the center of the lobby.
There were three huge bags, filled to the brim with 10,000 yen bills spilling out.
“Oh no…! That’s a lot of money…! If it’s that much, please give me some too…!”
“Noah-san, calm down!”
“Huh!? I lost control of myself. Money makes people crazy…! Phew, let’s start over… Now hand over the money quietly!”
“Noah-san, that’s not right!”
The leader grimaced in irritation.
“Stop talking nonsense…! You must really want to get hurt…! Get them, you guys!”
“Uooooo!”
In response to the leader’s angry shout, the two henchmen near him jumped at the girls at once.
But before they could act, Noah channeled magic into everything within reach.
“This is a great service! I’m turning everything into magic tools! Uraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
With a battle cry, she began her counterattack.
“Take these, magical pamphlets!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“What? The pamphlets are sticking to me…!”
“Damn, this is a mortgage, this is a loan offer, a car loan, a savings account, education insurance…! Gwaaaaaaaaaah!?”
Rainbow-colored pamphlets covered the henchmen’s faces.
Kaori grabbed the ropes that bound them and charged forward.
“Bad kids will be punished! Magical Whip! Ei, ei, ei─-!”
Snap, snap, snap!
She used the rope that had been transformed into a magical weapon to hit the henchmen.
“Ugh!”
“W-what… what is this attack…!”
The henchmen couldn’t take it anymore and threw the hostages aside, fleeing in panic.
There, Noah’s magical tools danced wildly.
“I won’t let you escape! Take this, ‘Magical Pen’! ‘Magical Houseplant’! ‘Magical Application Form’!”
“Amazing, a barrage of magical tools!”
“Gyaaaaaaaah!?”
“W-what the hell are these things───!”
Kaori bound the fallen robbers with her magical whip.
“Guh!?
“We did it! They can’t do any more damage now!”
“Fufufu, if it’s Noah and Kaori-san, it’s no big deal!”
The bound henchmen lay motionless, unconscious.
Kaori spoke softly to Sawada, who was in a daze.
“Sawada-sensei, are you hurt?”
“Huh? Oh, yes. Thank you. You’re really strong, magical girl Papipuri.”
“No, I’m glad you’re okay.”
The employees and customers who had watched the whole thing cheered.
“That was amazing, Papipuri!”
“You beat the robbers! Just as rumored, you’re cute and strong!”
“Thank you, Papipuri!”
Receiving thunderous applause, Noah stood proudly with his chest puffed out.
“Hmph! When it comes to Noah and the others, that’s all there is to it!”
“Amazing-maru! You solved it so easily-maru! That was nothing-maru!”
“Ara? Come to think of it, there should be one more…”
While Kaori looked around for the leader, Sawada shouted.
“Hey, something’s wrong with that guy…”
“!?
They turned to look at the center of the lobby.
The leader of the robbers was sitting on a bag filled with cash, smiling smugly.
