LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 1
1. The Evil Cadre Mamba!
“Everyone, I have a question.”
“If… I mean if.”
“If you were unfortunate enough to become an enemy of the magical girls, what means would you use to defeat them?”
“When faced with such an extremely powerful, idealistic, and unreasonable existence, how would you go about defeating them?”
“What kind of weapons, what kind of monsters, what kind of armies would you use to conquer them?”
——5 hours ago
“Is there really someone who would idly ask such a question?”
Yuyu, wandering around an animation forum, came across this post.
This post had been up for 5 hours, yet no one had replied.
“Feels like the original poster is pretty pitiful.”
He couldn’t help but comment.
“Well, I might as well reply to him~”
After all, he was quite free himself.
So, he quickly typed out this message:
“I say, is there a possibility that dealing with magical girls doesn’t have to be solely through brute force?”
“Care to elaborate?”
“Hmm?”
He didn’t expect the original poster to reply so quickly, almost immediately after he sent that message. Yuyu was momentarily stunned, then quickly responded:
“For example, through emotional manipulation.”
“Oh? Emotional manipulation? Are you suggesting taking their families hostage to make them emotionally and mentally collapse, and then strike at them?”
“I have indeed thought about that, but unfortunately, this method doesn’t work because they always manage to rescue their families through various means… Even if you threaten them right before they arrive, it doesn’t help.”
“…It sounds like you’ve really done this before.”
Yuyu silently mocked in his heart and labeled this person as delusional before continuing to reply:
“That is indeed a low-end and useless approach. It’s well known that in many magical girl animations, many have tried this on them, and the outcomes are invariably tragic.”
After all, most of them are positive, child-friendly animations; good always triumphs over evil, that’s inevitable.
“But, in this scenario, we must clarify that there are more ways to make someone’s emotions and mental state collapse.”
“You mean?”
“For example…”
Recalling a distorted image he had seen not long ago, Yuyu revealed a strange smile and replied:
“To put it simply… it’s about reaching out to a magical girl right when she becomes one, when she knows nothing, like a blank slate, and gradually building a connection with her, enhancing the feelings.”
“To what extent do those feelings grow? … Let me think, close friends? Lovers? Family? It’s entirely up to you.”
“In any case, through fighting alongside her, caring for her day after day, painting your own colors on that blank slate, and subtly placing yourself in the most important position in her heart—”
“Betrayal, killing her… no, that might be a bit unlikely.”
As if imagining that scene, Yuyou let out a malicious laugh and continued writing:
“Die in front of her.”
“And then, at that moment, her emotions will explode, recalling the past with you, remembering the everyday moments, the little things you did for her, the happiest times…”
“Wanting to remain immersed in those memories, only to suddenly realize that the person lying before her is the one who stood by her during those hard times.”
“And so, in an instant, regret, guilt, and despair will erupt from her heart.”
“She will hate herself for not being able to save you, for not being strong enough, for the one who died not being herself…”
“And it is at this moment…”
“The magical girl is defeated.”
A classic “regret for a lifetime” narrative, surely it would bring this poster an excellent surprise!
Though it’s a cliché, it’s still a delicious one!
“Using such a twisted plot to defeat a magical girl is only natural.”
Yuyou nodded in affirmation of his brilliant idea.
And as expected, after the poster read his reply, they didn’t respond immediately like before, but fell silent for a long time.
Just as Yuyou waited a while, preparing to close the page when there was no reply, the poster finally spoke again:
“Indeed, those who can see my post are not ordinary people.”
“Well… young man, I quite like you. Your thoughts, your schemes, your wickedness… I truly admire them.”
“To be straightforward, are you interested in joining me?”
“Huh! Join you for what?”
“Using your methods to defeat those detestable magical girls!”
So, is this person deeply entrenched in their delusions or just overly obsessed with their fantasies?
Even so, Yuyou felt he had stumbled upon an interesting amusement, so he replied:
“That’s fine, but you have to tell me about the benefits and treatment. Otherwise, you can vouch me 50 now, and I’ll come help you right away! (manual sarcasm)”
“Are you serious? Don’t you want to look at the terms and contract?”
“Guaranteed!”
“——vx payment fifty yuan.”
“What?! This…”
Looking at the sudden payment notification displayed on his phone, Youyu fell into silence for a moment.
He truly hadn’t expected the landlord to be so generous, offering 50 yuan just like that, and so quickly… But isn’t the main point something else?!
The important thing is, how did this landlord find his personal information?!
“How about it? You should have received it, right? Should I come pick you up now, Mr. Youyu from Guangdoor?”
“The name of the Bull Demon has been revealed to me…”
Youyu panicked for a moment; how could he have imagined that casually browsing the internet would lead him to encounter a master of weapons!
And he hadn’t even provoked him! It was just a normal conversation!
“I think it’s better to just report it clearly… to avoid any trouble…”
“Actually, I believe that’s unnecessary, Mr. Youyu.”
“We are similar in many ways, so you can trust me.”
However, just as Youyu had this thought and was preparing to act on it, a voice, indistinguishable in gender, came from behind him.
“…”
Now, even if he were to be more obtuse, trying to deceive himself, Youyu knew he had definitely been drawn into some supernatural event.
A post that had gone unanswered for five hours, inexplicable questions, and the sudden transfer of fifty yuan…
And this voice coming from behind him… he remembered he had closed the door!
“…I should have seen this coming.”
“Supernatural event,” although logically he wouldn’t have associated it with that.
Grinding his teeth, praying in his heart that it wasn’t some chaotic deity, Youyu stiffly turned around.
What he saw was a—
Black king cobra floating in front of him, coiling in the air.
The snake had one yellow eye and one purple eye, staring at Youyu, and said:
“You have signed a contract with me. Execute for me, spread despair.”
“You will be my agent, defeating magical girls, crushing everything that stands in our way!”
“My name is… Mamba!”
“Betrayed by those foolish beings… the evil cadre!”
