Part 5
After the mist cleared from Noah’s eyes,
“Huh!? What’s going on with Noah…?”
“I don’t know. You were suddenly purified…”
At that moment, Sumimaru looked at Noah’s back and cried out.
“Ah! There’s a small Debipachi stuck to Noah’s back-maru!”
“Eehh!?”
Sure enough, another Debipachi was clinging to Noah’s back.
Sumimaru pulled off the rainbow-coloured Debipachi.
“Gyaaaa!?”
“Phew, that’s good!”
“T-There was another one?” No wonder Noah-san was acting strange. When did it start parasitizing you?”
“Hah, that was a surprise. Noah was almost taken over.”
“I’m glad you noticed, Sumimaru-san.”
“Fufufu, squid-shaped fairies are not to be underestimated-maru! Now, let’s retrieve Debipachi-maru…”
Just as Sumimaru was about to take out the octopus jar, Kaori reached her hand out toward him.
“Huh-maru?”
Kaori gently stroked Sumimaru’s surprised head.
Then, she looked straight into his eyes and smiled softly.
“Sumimaru-san. Thanks to you, we won this battle, too. I’ll always count on you.”
Sumimaru was patted on the head and looked at Kaori’s angelic smile, bathed in her smile.
“Shwaaaaaaaa.”
His body sparkled and disappeared.
“Su-Sumimaru-san!”
“What will you do now that you’ve been purified?”
“Ufufu… I have no regrets in my life-maru. (Swish, swish, swish.)”
“The purification won’t stop! But you’re not being parasitized by Debipachi-san. Why?”
“Could your existence itself be a mass of desire, unable to withstand Kaori-san’s pure aura?”
“Ufufufu… I’m sorry-maru. Kaori is just too precious. Ah, I’m losing consciousness-maru… (Swoosh)”
“Su-Sumimaru-san, don’t disappear!”
Kaori tried to hold him back hurriedly but suddenly noticed that their costumes were disappearing.
“What!? Eh, eeehhh!? The magical girl costumes are disappearing! Why? Why? Whyyyy!?”
“Uwaaaaa! Could it be that Sumimaru is being purified and losing his power too?”
“N-no way!”
Finally, their skin was exposed.
“Hyaaaaaah…!”
“Owawa! Don’t die, Sumimaru! Now that it’s come to this…”
Noah took the stack of bills in her hand and smacked Sumimaru with them.
“Sumimaru! Pull yourself together!”
“Buh!”
Sumimaru screamed, and his fading body regained its form.
“Huh!? I’m sorry-maru! I didn’t mean it! I can’t die like this-maru! I still have so many important things to do, like observing Kaori’s sleeping face and enjoying her thighs-maru! I can’t die like this-maru! Ufufufu!”
As Sumimaru came to his senses, their fading costumes reappeared.
Kaori and Noah breathed a sigh of relief.
“T-That was close…”
“You were seriously purified. You really are a bundle of desires. That’s so gross.”
“Oh, how embarrassing-maru☆! Still, it’s amazing that you purified Debipachi with your purity alone, without using any magic tools-maru. Kaori is really amazing-maru!”
“That’s right! Among all the magical girls who came before, there was no one as amazing as you!”
“N-no, I was just so caught up in the moment…”
Kaori waved her hands frantically.
Sumimaru summoned the octopus jar from the air.
“All right, let’s collect them both at once-maru! Shiny Octopus Jar——!”
“Gyaagyagyaa!”
The Debipachi were sucked into the octopus jar.
The objects and walls destroyed by bullets began to repair themselves.
Noticing the silence, Sawada, who had been holding a frightened child, looked up.
“Um… Is it over?”
With that, the people who had been lying down cautiously got up.
“Ah! T-The monster’s gone! Papipuri defeated the monster!”
“W-We’re saved this time!”
“And even though it was supposed to be completely destroyed, nothing’s broken!? Is this also the power of magical girls!?”
A round of applause erupted.
The employees cheered, too.
“Everyone, I’m glad you’re all safe.”
Seeing this, Kaori patted her chest and suddenly remembered.
“T-That’s right! We spent an outrageous amount of money (literally)…”
She hurriedly gathered all the bills stuck to the walls and floor and handed them to the counter.
“Awawa! I’m so sorry for spending the money like this. I’ll give it back!”
“Haha, it’s okay. We’ll take some of it…”
“No way!”
Kaori hurriedly stopped Noah, who was trying to crawl toward the pile of bills.
The employees thanked the two of them.
“We called the police, so they should be here soon. Thank you so much.”
“Not at all. I’m glad no one was hurt.”
“Ugh! I wanted that stack of 10,000 yen bills…”
As Kaori held Noah back from reaching for the money, Sawada arrived.
“Hey, you saved me earlier, Magical Girl Papipuri. Thank you.”
“Ah, Sawada-sensei… Ah, no, ahem. I’m glad you’re safe.”
“I read about it in the newspaper, but you really lived up to the rumors! That was amazing!”
Impressed, Sawada smiled at Kaori, who smiled back. Suddenly, Sawada leaned forward, looking puzzled.
“…Huh? You’re not, by any chance…”
“What!?” N-no, I’m not! I’m not Kaori Houjou from Ousei Academy!”
“Huh? What? Do you know Houjou?”
“Ah, no…”
“But maybe it was a case of mistaken identity. I thought you looked like her. Come to think of it, I promised to buy Houjou and her friends lunch. I don’t see them outside the bank. If they’re not here, then they must have escaped safely, without getting caught up in the incident. As expected of students from Ousei Academy, they’re good at crisis management.”
“Ah, ahaha, yes, that’s right…”
“Well, I think I’ll have a drink somewhere before I go home.”
Sawada muttered to herself as she was about to leave but suddenly turned back to Kaori.
“That’s right. I have a student named Yuuya Tenjou.”
“H-Huh!?”
Kaori’s voice cracked when she heard the name of her crush, and Sawada narrowed her eyes.
“Seeing you girls fight off the robbers reminded me of him. There are heroes like that everywhere who save people in trouble.”
“Ah… Thank you.”
Kaori smiled, feeling warm inside.
At that moment, the police arrived.
“Are you the magical girls who caught the robbers? We’d like to hear the details. Is that okay?”
Then, Sumimaru jumped up.
“This is bad-maru! If the police in this world get involved, there’ll be trouble-maru! Let’s run-maru!”
“What!? W-Wait, please!”
“You’re running away so desperately. Have you done something wrong?”
“There’s nothing to feel guilty about-maru! If they question us, we won’t be able to explain what magical girls are-maru!”
“Your desperation makes us look suspicious.”
“Let’s hurry-maru!”
“Y-yes!”
And so, Kaori and the others ran out of the bank.
