Chapter 82

I heard that there would be a signing event with the scenario writer and a mobile phone game would also be released, so I looked through the Magical Girls Chronik gallery for the first time in a while.

Even though Magical Girls Chronik once ruled an era, the long hiatus has left the gallery rather quiet.

To be precise, there are fewer than 10 posts a day.

At least the gallery is barely surviving thanks to news about the theatrical version and the new game.

But why is it that among the few posts, there is one that particularly provokes me?

[Writer: Nyangppungi] [Title: Venus really seems to be a poorly made character… A creepy feeling]

[Her figure is unrealistic… Way too much overt sexualization, crying face.

Even if you are an adult, it’s not good when the character’s a middle schooler… Did they have to include a character like that?

And there’ll be talk of 2D ethics, right? Just the fact that something like this is done to a middle schooler is creepy…

I wish she didn’t exist, crying face.]

Magical Girls Chronik was nearly considered harmful material because of its deep and dark developments, leaning more towards male-oriented content.

However, since it lacked explicit panty shots or nude scenes and was a magical girl series about middle school girls, it also had many female fans.

The ratio was said to be around 7 to 3 or 6.5 to 3.5.

Male fans were in the majority, but the female fans couldn’t be ignored.

Especially during offline events, the participation rate of female fans was higher.

‘This stings.’

What sins does Venus have other than being beautiful and having a great figure? Why does she have to endure these attacks?

This is common in Japanese anime, but if you don’t like it, can’t you just not watch it?

Saying that if you sit, you want to lie down, if you lie down, you want to sleep – now they’re telling us to get rid of pretty female characters just because there’s no overt service scene.

Isn’t this crossing the line?

But what made me even angrier was that there were a lot of comments agreeing with this somehow.

-[Seriously, approaching Magical Girls Chronik with sexuality is a desecration of god]

-[Agree, agree]

-[It is too overt, might as well make it realistic with middle schoolers, haha]

Why are you bringing reality into anime, you crazy bastards?

What? Did the gallery get taken over by women?

[Writer: Nyangppungi] [Title: (Random Code) Tried cosplay of Ranmi Yuki, crying face]

[(A heavily edited cosplay photo making it hard to guess the original)

(There are lots of photos)]

[Sorry it’s from another anime.

I thought I’d upload since it feels like home…

Will you forgive me? Crying face]

-[Very good…]

-[haha…]

-[Kyaaa!]

-[Moth laugh laugh]

-[Absolutely amazing cone laugh]

-[Thumbs up cone laugh]

-[What? Why does it suit her so well?]

-[Why does it suit her? LoL]

I realized.

The queen bee cosplaying and her worker bees.

Could it be that the decline of this Magical Girls Chronik gallery is due to their cliquishness and the rejection of newbies!?

Though, I think it’s more likely due to the staleness of the 10-year-old anime without any recent nourishment.

Still, somehow I find these people annoying and feel like they’ve done something wrong.

Though it’s surely not because they insulted Venus.

Looking at her cosplay pictures, I went back to the post criticizing Venus and left a comment.

-[Why do this? You seem to have inferiority towards anime characters… Are you envious of Venus?]

Honestly, there’s only one reason to dislike our sweet, pretty, adorable, and remarkable Venus.

Because she’s too perfect!

Still, why would you feel inferior towards an anime character?

-[? LoL Are you another middle schooler with sexual desires? Please hold your breath for three hours…]

-[How pitiful that you compete with real women to this extent, and now you’re even jealous of anime characters.]

-[What is this kid?]

-[Rather, aren’t you the one feeling inferior to Nyangppungi? You just throw stones from cover, laugh. If you’re so sure, show your face.]

-[Obviously incompetent Otaku, will they show proof laugh laugh?]

While arguing with Nyangppungi, suddenly her loyal soldiers came and started a barrage against me.

Naturally, I wouldn’t reveal my identity due to such low-level aggression, so I pulled out my ultimate card.

-[A]

Nyangppungi was flat like a chopping board.

-[Crazy bastards]

-[I’ll sue for libel]

Nice. That hit was certain.

Will one letter “A” be enough?

…Could it not be enough?

Now that I’ve achieved my goal, let’s leave right away.

But even after turning off the gallery, I was in a bad mood for a while.

This person dared to insult my goddess Venus?

Venus’s only sin is being pretty and having a big chest!!!

Unable to let go of my anger, I went back to the gallery to investigate this person’s history.

As expected.

It wasn’t untrue that the gallery managed to survive even after the decline of Magical Girls Chronik, as I found out that they and their followers all planned to attend the Kuroichi signing event.

If I dress up and go strong, I’ll make this person feel defeat and despair…

I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

Flat.

‘In this situation, transformation bras…?’

But wearing that would be like confessing I’m the legendary Sol!

A woman with disproportionately small hands and big chest would be too distinctive.

Besides, if there’s even the slightest chance my breast pads are found out, it would be game over.

‘I want to make these people uncomfortable!’

The damp otaku instinct that surfaces when a favorite character is insulted kept hitting my head.

There is one taboo card, one demon card that I must not use…

Must not use… must not touch… right?

“…”

Crossing Seoul, I came from Gangnam to Mokdong.

The signing event was happening at a movie theater attached to a department store.

“It’s so nice coming out with you, sis! Let’s have more dates like this!”

Seeing the cheerful Seol Yun poked at the three-sided conscience in my heart.

I lied to Seol Yun, saying I really wanted to go to the event but was scared to go alone, so I brought her along.

I’m okay with crowded places.

If it’s not like 99 men and only me.

The male-to-female ratio for this event looks to be about 5 to 5.

First the movie, then the signing event.

Thinking the Owacome (gallery’s revival event) was dead, I was surprised to see quite a few people there.

Where did they come from?

And ‘that group’ stood out.

One woman with four men.

That woman, Nyangppungi, was wearing a cosplay outfit.

I was aware that she would be in cosplay.

Since she had put it up on the gallery.

If she wasn’t going to cosplay, I wouldn’t have planned this.

“Wow!”

“Wow…”

Are we catching attention as well?

Seol Yun, with her tall height for a woman, is quite noticeable.

She’s pretty and has an artistic figure, so it’s natural to exclaim.

Fortunately, there are no obnoxious overconfident fans.

Taking our seats in the theater.

Watching the movie.

No matter how many times I watch, the emotions are overwhelming.

Venus, I love you.

From the deepest part of my soul.

Then the signing event commenced.

Seems like it’s more of a promotional event disguised as a signing session.

They keep talking about the upcoming new game.

During the question time, an Otaku who tries to speak Japanese despite being bad at it gets embarrassed.

What’s with that!

If you’re going to do it, at least do it well!

After the event, I got my autograph.

I handed over the flower bouquet I prepared for Kuroichi-sensei, and we took a photo together.

When I said I like Venus, Seol Yun was asked if I was her older sister.

I’m the older sister!

Upon which they said,

Wow, really? The younger one being the older sister is surprising!

An anime character comes to life!

I heard similar comments.

I know I look younger despite being the older sister!

‘Kuroichi-sensei noticed me!’

This much of an impression will surely be remembered for a long time, won’t it?

There’s a pretty complicated feeling.

But it’s definitely not a bad one.

Magical Girls Chronik is alive!

Magical Girls Chronik isn’t over!

It wasn’t an Owacome!

I have a strong premonition that I’ll be milked for money by trashy gacha games using love as bait.

But there’s nothing I can do.

It’s because the one I love more is being defeated…

And now, to the final stage of my plan.

I’ll crush the queen bee cosplayer who insulted Venus and is raising her worker bees.

I wonder if they got official permission.

Nyangppungi was taking pictures with event attendees as they were leaving the theater.

If she were officially hired, she would have participated in the stage event.

Since she didn’t, it’s probably just personal cosplay?

Anyway, she doesn’t have a face or figure to be hired.

I asked Seol Yun.

“I’m a fan of Ms. Nyangppungi. Would you take a photo with her?”

“Sure!”

So, leading Seol Yun near that woman, I shyly asked.

“Could we take a photo with you?”

The pupils of Nyangppungi violently quake.

Because I had Seol Yun wear a T-shirt with some letter written on it like a couple outfit as we’re here on a family outing.

‘A’

What must Nyangppungi have felt seeing the letter ‘A’ being tortured on the obviously G-cup-plus chest?

Of course, my shirt was covered with a coat.

Still cold.

‘Will she not ask if I’m the one we fought with on the gallery?’

My complete victory.
