Looking back at the two women fighting over him, Hyunseong realized he was in a terrible dilemma.

‘Why are they doing this to me, seriously?’

If he were a normal guy, he’d be happily agonizing over this situation, but Hyunseong wasn’t.

One woman had the superpower to lift ships weighing thousands of tons with just a gesture.

The other woman was renowned as someone who had no equal in hand-to-hand combat.

‘Even if I transform, I don’t think I can beat both of them.’

Team 1 Magical Girls must be treated like monsters with deadly poison. You absolutely mustn’t upset them. If possible, it’s better not to even encounter them.

“I thought Magical Girls went by seniority? Is that not a thing anymore? Like, since we’re on the same team, it’s okay to just butt heads? Tsk… Hah~!”

Pink Star took a long drag from her cigarette and shot a vicious glare. Her feelings were clearly hurt by the casual language.

“Are you trying to claim seniority now?”

“Why? Am I being excluded? Excluding a great senior…”

“Well? According to my principles, I think it’s unfair for most of Team 1 seniors to be treated as seniors.”

Pink Star was a Magical Girl who had served humanity for decades without rest.

No one dared question her efforts, and because of that, even the Association didn’t mess with her.

“If you don’t want to work, you can just retire, right? But why do you insist on remaining active? It doesn’t seem like that’s worth so much.”

“If we count accomplishments alone, I have hundreds of times more than you, you know? I worked that much, so shouldn’t I get some treatment now?”

Flicking her distinctive pink hair, Pink Star looked at the insolent junior.

“What pathetic jealousy. Why? Are you scared of losing the mascot?”

“…What do you mean?”

“It’s obvious, obvious. I know everything just by looking at your face. You desperately want to fuck that guy, don’t you? Do you want sex that badly?”

“I think you need to learn how to choose your words carefully.”

Stuck in the middle, Hyunseong truly felt like crying. Is something terrible about to happen? The reality that he wouldn’t come out unharmed if either side exploded hit him head-on.

“All I want to say is…”

“You’ve never had sex, have you?”

“I just think it might be better for you to act more like an adult, Senior.”

“You haven’t had seeex, have you? You’re itching to lose your virginity.”

A collective monologue. Because their egos were too strong, the conversation wasn’t connecting at all.

Hyunseong, in the middle of the chaos, clutched his head.

[Analysis: Pink Star is currently bluffing. She is trying to gain the upper hand in the argument by portraying herself as experienced.]

‘What a truly helpful analysis.’

[Joy: My raison d’être is for you! I will not make mistakes this time!]

He didn’t need it to be said. Just looking at Pink Star’s gallery posts, he could already guess she had such an unstable mental state.

‘They both seem to be about the same level, though.’

ㅇㅇ(12.34): Looks like I gotta beat off today.

ㅇㅇ(12.34): This, this has gotten ‘hard’.

A woman who uploads dozens of posts filled with sexual desire every single day.

ShyS2: Shy-chan ate something delicious again today ><

ShyS2: I made a power ranking of Magical Girl cuteness….

ShyS2: Shy-chan face reveal! Please rate!

A woman who is openly crazy.

Why, what sin did he commit to attract the attention of these two…?

[Certainty: In fact, the two women are superior women intended to produce an excellent succ…]

'I told you what would happen if you spouted that nonsense one more time, didn't I? If you speak again, I'll cut your head open and pull out the chip right now?'

[Apology: Please preserve your physical body.]

There were so many things to worry about, Hyunseong felt severe pain in his temples. Is he going to collapse from a headache like this?

Just as he was thinking that, a hand was placed lightly on his thigh.

"Mascot. Why are you spacing out? When a guest arrives, you should think about hosting first."

"Senior… You know sexual harassment is a felony, right?"

"And you know murder is a felony? Put away that killing intent. Unless you want to be arrested. Hey, a light."

Hyunseong was dumbfounded by the remark, then lit the lighter. Seeing the man she liked being treated like a host bar employee, Scarlet was truly on the verge of exploding.

'Shouldn't I just kill her now?'

She seriously started channeling her magic to kill Pink Star. If she crossed the line any further, a clash between Team 1 Magical Girls would occur.

Hyunseong, who knew that fact better than anyone, dripped with cold sweat…

"It's a big problem!"

Fortunately, there was a way to survive. The lounge door burst open, and a pale-faced employee rushed in.

"Uh, no, just stay put."

"Excuse me? I…"

"Get out. Can't you see we're busy right now? How on earth were the employees trained to be like this?"

"What's the matter?"

Hyunseong didn't miss the opportunity. Whatever it was, he wanted to get out of this situation right now.

"Two top-tier Titan individuals have appeared! If we stay like this, the entire city will be in danger!"

"Send someone else."

"It's just that the two of you are the closest…"

"Haa."

Dropping her cigarette, Pink Star got up from her seat. It was so annoying. But not abandoning her duty as a Magical Girl, she decided to sortie after a long time.

"You were lecturing me about duty and all that earlier, weren't you?"

The veteran Team 1 Magical Girl decided to step forward herself. Even taking out the staff she hadn't used for a long time.

"That worthless duty. I'll show it to you today, so shut your mouth."

Scarlet didn't reply, just stared intently at her senior.

[Your very existence is disruptive! BP has been added!]

[Current BP: 1700]

Hyunseong felt like he was going crazy at that message. Why is everyone doing this?

"Hey! Mascot. You come along too."

"Senior. Hyunseong is a civilian…"

"I'm here, so it's safe."

"Um, excuse me?"

When a staff that looked like it could be sold for around 5000 won at a stationery store was swung, Hyunseong's body floated up. It was Pink Star's magic.

"Let's finish this quickly and go drink."

The woman once called the strongest weapon of Magical Girls sorties.

***

A common misconception about Titans is the idea that the stronger they are, the larger they are.

That's not entirely wrong. The larger they are, the more overwhelming their mass is, capable of crumbling buildings just by moving.

'They are dangerous ones.'

But the two guys who appeared now… seem to belong to the case where that's not true.

Those are strong. The strongest I've ever encountered, much more dangerous than those from the Witch Coven I met before.

I don't know what abilities they have, but… Behemoth and Garuda alone won't be enough,

.

[A Magical Girl.]

The samurai-armored Titan muttered. It seems to have intelligence too.

This increases the danger level even more. If they can use language, it's difficult for Team 3 to handle.

'At the very least, a subjugation team composed of Team 2 members would be needed…'

Naturally, even within the same grade, the strength of individual entities varies.

That one is strong, but the one next to it…

[Kagemaru. Do not be careless. That woman is Pink Star. Is the one next to her Scarlet? Both are individuals of concern.]

The other one is a Titan wearing a judo uniform. Its entire body is black, and its features, except for its mouth, are not visible.

"Ahem, *spits*. Ah, damn it, I gotta quit smoking or something."

Both entities are terrifyingly strong. Perhaps even Team 1 Magical Girls cannot avoid a difficult fight.

Pink Star doesn't seem to think so, just dropping her cigarette, but…

[I do not like cutting women down. But with Pink Star, the story is different. Come down!]

"Hey, it's annoying, so just attack simultaneously."

[That cannot be done. It is against bushido.]

Do Titans follow bushido…? Regardless, Pink Star twirled her staff and then

"Oh, is that so? Got it."

Like a baseball player! She suddenly threw her staff at the one named Kagemaru.

[Is that throwing te…]

CRACK—!

Simultaneously with the sound of samurai armor being crushed, Kagemaru's body was sent flying backward. At what moment?

"I said attack simultaneously, seriously."

She vanished.

Where on earth did she go? Pink Star's body disappeared…

"Stop the bullshit and just go back to the world you lived in."

SNAP—!

When she reappeared, Kagemaru's neck was somehow in her hand. As if he wasn't dead yet, a look of bewilderment was etched on his face.

'I understand one thing.'

Don't get on that person's bad side.
