Chapter 375 338 – The Magical Girl Who Arrived Too Late [BONUS]

After [Divine Dividing] completely fused into the gauntlet, a series of abilities surfaced in Takumi's mind.

"Boost and Divide—combining two bug-level abilities really is convenient!"

Unable to resist trying them out, Takumi quickly cast a malicious gaze toward the few trembling Cerberuses on the sports field.

"I choose you!"

"Divide!"

Pure white light shone from the jewel.

The strength of the Cerberuses below was instantly halved, then halved again!

The hellhounds visibly wilted.

In less than a few seconds, they no longer even had the strength to stand.

"Huff… huff…"

All three heads on each of them snored and panted as they collapsed weakly onto the sports field.

As the absorption ability activated automatically, strands of power also flowed into Takumi's body.

Sensing that insignificant amount of power, Takumi's expression did not change.

"They're too weak. I can't even feel any difference."

"I should've stayed a little longer. Testing it on Vali would've been pretty useful too."

As Takumi sighed, he suddenly noticed a pink figure rapidly approaching.

"Mm?"

Takumi was not the only one who looked confused. The girls on the ground also revealed puzzled expressions.

The next moment, Momo Chiyoda, dressed in a pink magical-girl dress with her hair tied into short twin tails, descended like a falling meteor. Her appearance was delicate and cute.

"Fresh Peach Heart-Shaped Kick!"

She raised her right leg, which was covered by a white high-heeled over-the-knee boot, then brought it down like a battle-axe onto the torso of one Cerberus.

Boom!!!

The ground instantly caved in, and the hellhound, which had already been drained of its strength, was blasted in half at the waist.

The remaining Cerberuses no longer had the strength to resist or flee.

Momo swept through them like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves, tearing the remaining hellhounds apart with her bare hands.

Looking at the Cerberuses that had offered no resistance, she appeared somewhat puzzled.

"They were so weak. There was clearly a huge commotion here just now."

After muttering that, Momo looked toward the outskirts of Kuoh Town, in the direction where something had crashed down like a meteor and smashed through a mountain range.

The disturbance over there had been even greater, but it was too far away. She would have to investigate it later.

After killing all the Cerberuses, Momo calmly looked at everyone else.

"Are all of you okay?"

Her expression was composed, but her voice carried a trace of concern.

Hiratsuka-sensei blinked and murmured, "Chiyoda-san?"

"It's you, Hiratsuka-sensei. Hello."

Momo nodded slightly, behaving very calmly.

She did not seem afraid of others discovering her identity as a magical girl and answered quite openly.

Looking at Momo dressed as a magical girl, Hiratsuka-sensei felt her vision blur for a moment.

So one of her students was actually a magical girl!

"A chosen warrior of light. We are Holy Swordswomen of the Church."

Irina seemed to recognize Momo's identity and stepped forward to introduce herself.

Her expression carried a touch of reverence. Magical girls like Momo, who had been chosen, were all said to possess excellent aptitude.

According to rumor, each of them carried God's blessing, and every one of them possessed extraordinary strength.

At the mention of God, Irina's expression turned somewhat despondent.

However, after listening to Irina's introduction, Momo still looked rather confused.

Although she was a magical girl and a chosen warrior of light, she had never had any contact with the Church before.

Because she had gone a long time without communicating with other people, she was not good at conversation.

As a result, throughout Irina's long introduction, Momo's only responses were "Mm" and "Mm-hmm."

"Stop making things difficult for her. Chiyoda-san probably doesn't know anything about the Church."

Takumi descended as well and helped Momo out of the situation.

Momo's gaze was immediately drawn toward him. In fact, she had already been paying more attention to Takumi earlier.

Among everyone present, he had been the only one flying in the sky, clearly displaying extraordinary ability.

The moment their eyes met, a strange feeling spread through her.

A faint blush appeared on Momo's smooth, flawless skin, and her sharp gaze softened considerably.

"Hello, Takumi-san."

Momo recognized Takumi. He was a student at Kuoh Academy and the same age as her.

They simply were not in the same class and had never interacted before.

Feeling unusually comfortable around Takumi, Momo quietly asked, "What happened here? And what was she talking about just now?"

After introducing herself, Irina had started saying all sorts of things.

[You warriors of light—do you have a way to contact God?]

[Do you know that God has disappeared?]

…

In any case, Momo had not understood a single sentence of Irina's incoherent rambling.

"Irina believes in God. She just learned that God died a long time ago, so she's a little emotional."

"As for what happened here, a fallen angel executive came to cause trouble. I happened to kill him just now."

"Oh, and I caused the disturbance over there too. A fairly decent guy wanted to fight me, so I punched him away."

Takumi briefly explained everything in plain language that anyone could understand.

This time, Momo understood and gratefully nodded to him.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen in such a short time."

"My reaction was still too slow. I failed to arrive in time for any of it."

Hearing Momo's lament, Hiratsuka-sensei, Rias, and the others were overflowing with things they wanted to retort.

How was she slow? Her speed was not slow at all.

Barely any time had passed since the incident began, and she had rushed over without stopping.

The real issue was that Takumi was too absurd. He had steamrolled everything and resolved the entire situation before any of them could even react.

"Chiyoda-san, quite a lot has been happening in Kuoh Town lately, so I hope we can count on you from now on."

"Why don't we exchange contact information? We can chat normally sometime."

Takumi took the initiative to ask to add her as a friend.

With a girl as withdrawn as Momo, he needed to be more proactive.

Faced with Takumi's friendly and enthusiastic attitude, Momo felt no resistance.

She skillfully took out her phone and added Takumi as a friend.

Once he had added Momo, Takumi acted even more naturally.

Who wouldn't like a soft, pink magical girl?

Looking at the scene of a magical girl adding a demon as a friend, Yuki Tsukumo, Xenovia, and the others could not help holding their heads.

What an absurd world.

No, they needed a moment to calm down.

Seeing Hiratsuka-sensei and the others looking as if they were questioning their lives, Takumi spread his arms.

"Don't all look so dejected. Let's go out tonight, get together, and have a meal."

After saying that, he also invited Momo.

"Why don't you come too? It's my treat."

"That way, your trip here won't have been for nothing. Consider it my thanks for the work you usually do protecting Kuoh Town."

"Um… I only recently returned to town. I haven't actually protected this place for very long."

Momo spoke quietly, but when she saw Takumi looking at her with such intensity, she felt too embarrassed to refuse.

And honestly, she had only just returned home when she rushed out without even eating dinner.

She was genuinely hungry now.

Since things had already come to this, she might as well eat first!
