It all happened in a blur, a vampire broke into the house and I simply felt that I needed to do something. I love magical girls, unbelievably so that I could say I do so much more than the average person. Naturally I can't compare to those with shrines and temples full of merch, I cannot show my love in the material wealth I lack. Even so, they're doing their best out there so I must do my best too.
To protect those I love, I have to carry this passion I never had. My whole life I was drifting, and it lead to such horrible disasters in kindergarten that it stayed with me my whole life. There weren't any malicious people in my elementary school class, but that only made it easier for me to isolate myself, because everyone was indifferent. They didn't pay any attention to me like bullies would, and no social interactions would occur.
Kindergarten studies were easy, they didn't take much effort to improve. That's why in elementary... My grades began to drop. Demoralised, I gave up and I swam up the school levels with failures in every test. My life was at an all time low, cold indifference wasn't as scalding or painful as what I had in the not so subtle ridicule of my kindergarten classmates, but it was like an insidious dull pain that eroded at my will everyday. I wouldn't even feel anything, my desires simply get stripped bare and then shrunk until nothing was left of my ego.
I was a walking husk. I am a walking husk. Hengji wouldn't leave me alone in middle school, he pulled me from the brink of oblivion by showering me with undesirable attention. Arugawa was disgusting, but he had a natural charm to him. He even dated a couple girls in middle school before news got out about his strange personality. "I wouldn't have it any other way, without 'me', I would stop being me. "
Arugawa said it with his chin held high. Edward was an outcast just like I was, I had it worse at that time but it has roughly reversed now. He likely found his true love in another world, so he disliked interacting with this one. I was also absorbed into the 2d world until HengJi brought other interesting things into my life. He was outgoing, he disliked peppers, he was typically lazy like me but he had overgrown pride in his less than satisfactory skills in physical sports. I don't feel like I truly know him, but I have all these useless trivia on him because of how long we've been together.
"... Then, do you want to know more about him?" (?)
A voice spoke to me. I couldn't tell if I was in a dream or what state my body was in. It felt like time had stopped, at the same time it was flowing here.
"Not really. I just want everyone to be happy.
There are magical girls out there doing their best to protect this world. The world of people. They only do so because they only see the good in people, which is justifiable enough for them. They think people deserved to be saved because people are as noble and kind as they are.
It makes them inherently flawed, but also inherently pure and beautiful. " (Faramicia)
I love magical girls, their beauty couldn't be described. Their pretty dresses are just visual representations of their character, but what's prettier is inside. Where they fight terrifying monsters with all the courage a little girl could muster, see the world through their naive filter, and bring their all to making the world a better place.
" So I believe, you wish to lift their burdens? " (?)
"... I have no such grand aspirations. Such ambition is for the brave, those with strength and kindness. " (Faramicia)
Power is not meant for someone like me, someone who turned out like me. I thought it was clear, anyone could tell I was a loser magical girl otaku at a glance. I'm destined to be the person holding glowsticks below the stage, not anywhere near even behind the curtains on stage to help support against unseen hurdles.
"... And what if you had such aspirations?" (?)
" If my pathetic self could lift even a tiny bit off their shoulders, then I'd do it without hesitation. I'd save everyone. " (Faramicia)
If I could, I had to do it. It would be a waste on me, so I must make use of everything I could and go as far as I can, like those brilliant girls on screen who strive for a better world.
"... It took you this long? It feels like I'm coaxing you... Whatever..." (?)
"Hey! Who're you actually!?" (Faramicia)
"Oh, me? I'm something like the law of magical gi-" (?)
It looked like my wrist grew thinner and my head height was shorter. My field of vision went slightly lower, as if I had gone back to a past where I was my younger self, it felt incredibly strange. However, I knew what I first needed to do. I swung my fist with all my strength, a warm sensation travelled through my spin then branched into my fist. The air pressure changes on my knuckles were tingly, but they tear through all obstacles and smashes into the flesh of the unsuspecting head.
In the instant I transformed, I killed the vampire invading our house. This will likely alert the others, I need the guys inside the house to hide while I distract those that are incoming.
"You guys, please hide! More of them are coming, so I'll go out to fend them off for a bit in the streets!" (Faramicia)
Without letting them get in a single word, I moved at blinding speeds and exited the house. Swiftly, I closed the door and headed into the wide streets of the residential zone and began moving quick. Their comrades death might alert them like a hivemind detecting the death of an individual, as the cause of it I need to be far away from my friends. My presence will explain the death, at the same time they will be too focused on me to feed on innocent humans.
2 Vampires showed up, I could tell they were a league above the one I met before. Their bodies exuded strength just from the way they moved. It was absurd, like the shows I watched, but that's what my gut told me. I'd have trouble just fighting one on one, two and I'd definitely lose.
"Let's go, {Nova lotus}." (Faramicia)
