Magiclad Girls and a Mob who will save them, or else the world is doomed!

Chapter 97: My life is already at zero.

On that day, my phone rang, and I tapped to answer the call.

"Hey, it's me."

"Hello."

It was the fortune teller. I regularly keep in touch with her to receive predictions about upcoming disasters. Although the detailed results of the fortune telling were not clear yet, her call implied that something had been divined.

"I've got the results of the fortune telling. A fierce warrior with many lives will shatter the blue light... or so it seems."

"I see... I've got a general idea."

"Oh, you understand? By the way, the disaster is supposed to strike in three days."

"I understand. Thank you."

A fierce warrior with many lives... That's likely referring to Asura, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. He's silent, has four arms, and makes an appearance in the latter half of November as a formidable opponent. He appears after the mid-stage power-up and engages in a serious battle with Aoi. The others will provide support, but Aoi will play the most crucial role. However, at the current moment, Aoi hasn't awakened.

Her inability to awaken is likely due to insufficient intimacy. Unyielding love. It seems simple, but it's not as easy as it looks.

It's currently August. According to the "Story," Aoi's awakening will occur during the "Cultural Festival" in October, where she makes a certain mistake and is comforted by the Magical Girl members. This significantly boosts intimacy. However, I don't want her to make that mistake. I genuinely want her to spend more time with everyone and naturally increase her intimacy.

Furthermore, according to the "Story," Asura appears after the Lion, which means he comes after Aoi and Karen's awakenings. However, the plot has deviated quite a bit, and now Karen and Kohaku have awakened. With these two around, I believe they won't have any issues this time.

The mid-game Four Heavenly Kings typically appear to showcase the powered-up girls' abilities. Karen will defeat the Lion, Aoi will confront Asura, and Moegi will handle the Fallen Angel, each in their respective battles. If that's the case, having Karen and Kohaku awakened poses no problem. However, the Fallen Angel's strength is on a different level...

To be honest, even with me around, I'm likely just a liability. I'll provide support as much as I can, but it's probably best to entrust the situation to Karen and Kohaku. ...It's frustrating. If only I were stronger...

And then, three days later.

[Aoi PoV]

On that day, a large black hole appeared. We heard that something ominous was coming, put on our magical outfits and arrived at the rooftop of a building.

From the large hole emerged a creature with four arms. Its strength was palpable, sending shivers down my spine. I closed my eyes, but then I felt something strange. When I opened my eyes, I saw beams of light and a fiery storm enveloping the creature. Kohaku and Karen, both moving faster than I could follow, were filled with determination. They had been told by Mel to give it their all, and it seemed that both their magical power and new weapons were significantly affected by their emotions.

The two of them unleashed a tremendous display of high firepower. On the rooftop, me, Moegi, and Izayoi could do nothing but watch in awe.

It was like a colossal monster battle. The two girls overwhelmed the creature with their relentless attacks, beams of light, thunderous sounds, explosions, and a stream of flames. Under this continuous assault, the creature's form became nearly invisible.
