Prologue – Bed ending
I never had a liking for bad endings.
The idea that the protagonist we had spent so much time with tearing apart and breaking down in the end. I had always been more fond of stories that ended in happiness.
Therefore,
“I’m going to stop doing this now.”,
when I heard that, I finally felt a sense of relief. The kind of relief that comes from knowing that you have finally succeeded.
Memories of my time with that character flashed past. The extent of my efforts to safely see the ending.
A unique character.
I wanted to run up and celebrate with them immediately. If they wanted it, I was willing to give them a fond pat as well.
“So…what does this and that have to do with each other?”
If only that character hadn’t tied me up.
I was seated on a chair, securely tied up and thrown into a corner of an abandoned construction site.
My hands and feet, of course, were held solidly still, and my neck too was held firm as if to stop me from moving my head.
Numerous attempts to cut the ropes all proved futile. No, even if I did manage to break free, it would not remain that way.
I looked up at the girl.
Her hair, the color of pink cherry blossoms, floated in the air. Her smile was beautiful and had an entrancing power. She had the look of a falling star alone in the dark world.
One of the magical girls who resisted evil, a great hero who sealed the Demon Lord herself, magical girl Iris.
Another name was,
“Noa, I don’t understand what’s going on… could we talk in our language?”
Ordinary schoolgirl Nanoa.
Noa called out to me with a voice.
“I have something that I would like you to help me with.”
Her smile was different this time, somewhat ominous. Her eyes appeared as though she had made a decision.
A sudden sense of unfamiliarity made my throat dry.
“What do I have to help you with?”
“Well, normally, you’ve helped me out a lot, haven’t you? I was wondering if you could help me out with this, too.”
What did she want help with? What on earth that could have led her to kidnap me.
“I remember telling you… that I retired…”
Her voice fading at the end.Noah.
Suddenly, the corners of her mouth quivered. Then, she started to throw a quiz at me out of nowhere.
“Brother, I have a quiz for you.”
“What quiz all of a sudden?”
“Why did I apply for retirement?”
“… how am I supposed to know?”
Noah looked at my face for a while. No matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t get an answer.
“I don’t know…”
“Is that so? Then I’ll tell you the answer this time.”
The girl who had been quiet for a while opened her mouth to give me the answer.
“Pregnancy retirement.”
“…Pregnancy retirement?”
I was dizzy.
What? Pregnancy retirements? Did she have an accident? Who is this person?
I wanted to say a lot, but my mouth hardened in shock. As I was dumbly staring at her, her cheeks soon flushed.
“Don’t think strange. I haven’t had a boyfriend yet.”
“So…is that so. Then what is this all about?”
“The top elder kept clinging. Telling me not to retire.”
“…Huh.”
“So I just said I had a baby. They couldn’t say anything, could they?”
Though I was a bit taken aback, it was understandable. Even if the devil is sealed, there are still monsters left.
If the highest power retires, they have no choice but to catch it. Noah must have lied to let it go.
Even so, they can’t make a pregnant woman fight. If forced coercion becomes public, it will also be detrimental to them.
She dealt with the coercion pretty well.
I guess so. He seemed cunning.
…That should be praised.
“What does that have to do with me?”
“Come for a check-up next time. To confirm if there’s really a baby.”
“But that’s-“
“Ah~ I wonder if there’s anyone who can help?”
“Hey, you, just a moment.”
I shuddered.
It was because a bad thought crossed my mind.
I hope she’s not thinking…
“…You, can’t be…oh, no? Am I the one thinking weird?”
“…hehehe.”Am I retarded? Huh?”
“No, you were right brother.”
Crazy b*tch.
“Brother.”
“Huh…what?”
“Hold me.”
Boing.
The transformation sound typical to magical girls echoed. With it, Noah’s clothes changed. From a frilly fluttering dress to a tight white outfit.
An extravagant outfit of a form-fitting material she doesn’t usually wear. Though it may look awkward and stiff on her.
Noah was beautiful.
I’ll admit it.
She truly is pretty.
She had quite revealing wardrobe, exposing her shoulders and thighs. Long hair cascading down to her waist. Eyes shining like pink diamonds set into them.
Using even the moonlight as a spotlight, the girl’s figure was completely exposed to the world.
A hundred out of a hundred.
Any man would let their guard down to her beauty.
But to me now, it seemed like a monster.
One that’s trying to devour me. Or rather, to seduce me.
Either way.
“Calm down Noah.”
“You’re going to help me retire, right, brother?”
“The right to choose… I should have the right to choose too!”
“The right to choose? Hmm…”
Upon hearing my words, Noah pondered for a moment.
“hehehe.”
She leaked a sly smirk.
“The right to choose is only for the powerful. Honey.”
“Huh…”
This…was something I hadn’t even considered. It would have been laughed off as nonsense by my past self.
Sashinhya. A man who had possessed a magical girl’s body in a video game filled with bad endings.
Becoming a villain to help the girl avoid a bad ending.
Only to end up in a bed ending.
‘Why on earth’
How did things turn out this way?
