MHGA Chapter 370 – Musclebound Magical Girl!
As soon as lunch break began, Sayaka greeted Madoka and Hitomi, then grabbed her bento and immediately seized Hibiki by the hand, dragging her all the way up to the rooftop.
"You're that Hunter's companion?" Sayaka looked at Hibiki—who could hardly be described as brawny—with a somewhat confused expression. "I thought all those Hunters he talked about were freakishly strong guys like him…"
"Eh?" Hibiki scratched her head awkwardly. "Did I blow my cover that fast? You recognized me already?"
"How could I not?!" Sayaka blurted out. "There was already a transfer student yesterday! Then another one pops up the next day—that's way too coincidental and weird!"
"The first transfer student, okay, maybe not too strange. But a second one immediately after? There's definitely something off. And you totally slipped up just now!"
"Well, it's my first time transferring to a new school…" Hibiki poked her fingers together. "It's a rare experience, so I got a little excited…"
Having calmed down somewhat, Sayaka and Hibiki sat down along the edge of the rooftop, deciding to eat lunch during the break first before talking more.
"Mami-senpai should be coming up here later… but I didn't expect there to be a Hunter like you." Sitting next to Hibiki, Sayaka gave her a serious up-and-down look. "Do you fight the same way that Hunter uncle—err, Hunter big bro does?"
"Uh…" Hibiki scratched her head. "I actually just became a Hunter, so normally I'm not as strong as the Guildmaster and the others…"
"But I do have a teacher! His name is Genjuro! The fighting style he taught me is super powerful!"
Hibiki mimicked some of the punches she'd learned.
"Hm?" Sayaka looked at Hibiki, then suddenly noticed something. "Wait a minute—did I pull you up here without letting you bring your bento?"
"I can share mine…" Sayaka looked down at her lunchbox and was just about to offer Hibiki a portion when the latter waved it off.
"No need. I didn't bring a bento to school at all," Hibiki said, causing Sayaka to freeze. "Then you're… not eating lunch?"
"The Guildmaster taught me!"
And right before Sayaka's eyes, Hibiki reached behind herself and suddenly pulled out a massive grilling rack. Then she produced an enormous slab of meat with a bone through it—straight out of a manga—and placed it on the spit to start turning.
An inexplicable brainwashing BGM suddenly began playing in Sayaka's ears.
A powerful flame rose up beneath the rotisserie. The raw meat began roasting rapidly as it spun to the rhythm of the music.
In just the time it took for the BGM to finish playing, the formerly raw meat turned into a massive, sizzling, delicious-smelling roast.
"Well-done steak!" Hibiki raised the perfectly roasted, oil-dripping, fragrant chunk of meat to the sky, making Sayaka genuinely question whether she was still in reality.
"You… I… What even—" Sayaka choked on her tamagoyaki for several moments before finally blurting out a single cry of protest:
"THE HELL, HASHIMOTO!!"
Sayaka lunged forward and grabbed Hibiki by the shoulders. After confirming that the meat was real meat, and that Hibiki was indeed a living, breathing human, she took a deep breath.
"How can you pull a BBQ spit that huge out of nowhere along with meat like that?! Is this some kind of dimensional magic?! And where did that giant slab come from—was it smuggled in from the Jurassic Park set?! The bone is thick enough to use as a building material!"
"And what's with the random sound effects that pop out of nowhere?! Is that rotisserie powered by a perpetual motion machine?! How did it finish cooking in just a few seconds, and still turn out so juicy and perfectly done?! What even is that meat?! And aren't you a girl the same age as me?! That thing looks like it weighs over fifty pounds! Are you seriously going to eat all that for lunch?!"
A stream of nonstop complaints erupted from Sayaka's increasingly disoriented brain.
Hibiki gently brushed them aside. "Uh… the Guildmaster said it's just a little Hunter perk…"
"But don't worry!" Hibiki struck a strongman pose. "The Guildmaster said this is the age when I'm still growing, so eating a lot is good for my body!"
"THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH!!" Sayaka screamed. "No matter how you look at it, it's ridiculous! What are Hunters exactly?! Even teenage girls need that much food… no wonder you're all so strong!!"
CRACK——————
Just as Sayaka was shouting her complaints, a sharp sound of something breaking echoed from the direction of the rooftop door.
Sayaka froze and turned to look—and then…
There stood a massive, muscular man in a pink magical girl outfit, with pink hair. He had Mami Tomoe slung unconscious over one shoulder and had just kicked the door open to storm onto the rooftop.
"A Hentai—" Sayaka almost screamed on instinct, but the burly pink-haired man immediately dropped into a dogeza pose.
"I'm so sorry!! Sorry for the trouble I caused!!!"
"Uno-neesan!" Hibiki cried out.
"Uno… neesan?!!!"
———
Roughly ten minutes later, Sayaka, looking somewhat awkward, sat together with Hibiki and a now-transformed musclebound Ueno Saki, having just finished listening to the explanation of what had happened.
Mami Tomoe, now conscious again, also confirmed that Ueno Saki was one of the Hunters, and had arranged to meet her on the rooftop to talk about Hunter matters.
But unexpectedly, on the way there, they'd run into a small Familiar that had somehow slipped into the school unnoticed.
When it suddenly attacked, Ueno Saki had no choice but to transform right in front of Mami Tomoe…
And so, in her transformed state as a musclebound magical girl, Ueno Saki easily crushed the Familiar—but the sheer impact of her transformation accidentally sent Mami crashing into a wall and knocking her out cold…
"You're a… magical girl?????"
Sayaka stared at Ueno Saki in disbelief. "How could you be a magical girl!!!!!!"
"Honestly, I didn't think I'd turn into this kind of magical girl either…" Ueno Saki turned her head away and shed a tear.
She too had been tricked by a fairy that looked like a yakuza—and ended up like this… a muscle-class magical girl…
"I…"
Sayaka slumped forward in defeat. "I thought all the magical girls in the world were like Mami-senpai…"
