Iso?lation Room - 7

Smash-!!!

 

"Kyaak?!"

 

 

When I broke the door with Mika's punch, there was the Queen of Hatred, not 'Nothing There', looking at me with a surprised expression instead of a monstrous abnormality. Should I consider this fortunate?

 

 

 

 

"Phew,"

 

 

I sighed in relief and mentally cheered for my good luck. Then, I entered the containment room where the Queen of Hatred was. Sorry, I'm trespassing a bit.

 

 

After entering the containment room, I couldn't just leave the door in tatters. Actually, I was worried the employees would chase me here, so I put the door back where it was. Of course, it was all crumpled and ineffective, but I thought it was better than doing nothing.

 

 

 

 

While I was sweating nervously, the Queen of Hatred, after screaming once, was surprisingly still. Quietly, perhaps? Actually, from her perspective, I'm the one who broke the door, but strangely, her eyes sparkled at me. Not in a bad way, but in a good way...

 

 

Before I could ask 'What are you looking at?', I realized I'm not that brave... not an abnormality. While I was hesitating, she surprisingly spoke first.

 

 

"Nice to meet you!"

 

 

I was momentarily flustered because I didn't expect her to speak first, but I answered.

 

"Yeah, nice to meet you too☆ Hey... Mmmm~... I'm sorry I broke the door."

 

 

 

 

I looked at her apologetically, and her response was unexpected.

 

 

 

"No, no! It's fine! I'm glad you came!"

 

 

"You seem like someone chosen by a god who pursues justice."

 

 

 

I was quite flustered by her words, but I answered nonchalantly.

 

 

 

 

"Y-Yeah... me too. I'm on the side of justice!"

 

 

 

 

"I thought so! A magical girl's intuition is never wrong! When you first broke the door, I thought the prince had come to rescue me!"

 

 

 

 

The Queen of Hatred added quietly.

 

"I'm always the one rescuing others..."

 

 

 

 

It made me feel a bit sad. Ugh... But that's that, and this is this. I don't know how the Queen of Hatred sees me, but right now, I'm just an abnormality who escaped from the containment room, not a champion of justice or anything.

 

But Mika's appearance is like that, wouldn't you say it's closer to a good character? An angelic appearance with Mika... Sigh.

 

 

...

 

 

Let's stop praising Mika's appearance. Now it's my appearance. Yeah... thinking about it makes me angry. Why did I have to become a pretty girl?! No, I don't want to think about it anymore... Sigh.

 

 

 

 

But the conversation is going well... or is it? We're talking, so it must be going well. Yes, meeting an abnormality I can talk to among so many is a huge stroke of luck for me.

 

 

 

Goodbye to the life of an abnormality running around frantically. Let's take a short break. The problem is, now I have to rest next to another abnormality, not alone.

 

 

 

 

 

But she seems friendly, so I think it's rather good.

 

 

As I was lost in meaningless thoughts, planning to spend some time with the Queen of Hatred, I saw something moving beside her. A question popped into my mind, and I spoke to her.

 

 

 

 

"So, is it okay if I ask you one question?☆"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I asked, the Queen of Hatred looked at me with sparkling eyes.

 

 

 

 

"What question? How to defeat villains effectively? My heroic tales? I like either question!"

 

 

 

 

"..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously, it's neither of those. What I, as a magical girl, want to ask the Queen of Hatred is...

 

 

 

 

"Do you summon that magic wand yourself?"

 

 

 

 

I was referring to the origin of her magic wand. The company wouldn't have created weapons for abnormalities, so she must have had it originally or created it herself. If she created it herself, I wanted to ask how...

 

 

 

 

"Of course! Hmm... it just appears when I think about it!"

 

 

 

 

She smiled brightly and made her magic wand disappear and reappear before my eyes to show me.

 

 

 

 

"Like this!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Listening to the Queen of Hatred's explanation, I felt like she was similar to Professor Similar. See? It's so easy, right? I don't understand at all, but she knows, so she seems relaxed...

 

 

 

 

I clenched my fist slightly. And I hesitated. But! She explained it to me first...!

 

 

 

"...Can I create things by thinking like that too?"

 

 

 

 

"You can do it! If it's you!"

 

 

 

 

"Thanks for the encouragement☆"

 

 

 

 

Actually, I'm not thankful, you punk. Give me more information...

 

 

 

 

Thinking that, I imagined Mika's weapon, the gun 'Quis ut Deus', in my mind. I thought I wouldn't remember the design properly, but maybe because I possessed Mika's body... I could recall every detail of the gun's design.

 

 

 

 

Yes, I asked the magical girl this question because after seeing the employees earlier, I concluded that I needed a weapon to survive here!

 

 

 

 

"After thinking... what then?"

 

 

 

 

"Hmm~ It's like taking it out of your mind!"

 

 

 

 

I started to wonder if she couldn't explain it properly or if that was really the only way to explain it. But since I'm in a weaker position now, I decided to follow her words. Even if I keep complaining, if it doesn't work, it's a waste, and if it does, it's good.

 

 

I took the 'Quis ut Deus' I imagined and tried to take it out of my mind and hold it in my hand...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Whoa?"

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously? I succeeded? I looked at the weapon in my hand with a dumbfounded expression. It's a gun, but it's really light. Unexpected, or maybe it's natural since I'm holding it with Mika's strength... I examined the shiny gun with sparkling eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clap clap clap.

 

 

 

 

The Queen of Hatred smiled brightly and congratulated me with applause. After clapping, she even blew her signature hand kiss at me. This is amazing...
