Magical Girl with Demonic Time Magic-Chapter 105: Perfect Precision

The van races down the streets, taking me to a distant location. The trip takes almost two hours, indicating how far the van has taken me, while I just wait.

Soon the van stops, and the men quickly get out of the car. The strongest one grabs me and throws me over his shoulder, quickly taking me inside a warehouse and propping me against a wall.

"...You don’t seem scared, didn’t you notice the situation you’re in?" One of them asks me as the others go to another area.

"I know well," I say, and he walks away without interest in me. I just wait while I hear the sound of a car arriving.

The same man who handcuffed me goes to the door and opens it, and I see someone I didn’t expect.

"Itsuki?" I say, shocked.

"Oh, Ayane, I see you’ve arrived here well," he says mockingly as he hands his coat to the man next to him.

"W-Why are you doing this?" I ask, shocked. I never expected he would try this, I knew he was an asshole, but I never imagined he was a criminal.

"You humiliated me, you know how ridiculous our breakup was? I need to teach a bitch like you a lesson for humiliating me," he says with a distorted smile, and I see a dental bandage on his mouth.

"Do you think this will end like this? You’ll be arrested!" I say, irritated.

"Haha, how funny. And how do you think that’s possible? You’re just a nobody with average grades and no connections," he says, and I feel even more disappointed in him.

But he’s mistaken if he thinks he can’t be arrested, Ophelia made it clear that practically anyone can be arrested if caught by the magical girls.

"What are you going to do to me?" I ask with an annoyed sigh.

"I don’t know, maybe I’ll have you killed? Who knows, maybe I’ll sell you to some underground brothel after I get my revenge, it all depends on my good will, if it’s good enough maybe I’ll keep you with me," he says arrogantly.

’Enough of this nonsense, I’ve heard enough.’ Two hours wasted just to be even more disappointed in him.

"..." I activate my magical girl uniform and break the handcuffs. This will be easy, after this I’ll call the base and wait for them to come pick up these criminals. Anyway, he won’t remember anything after this.

"W-What!" He’s surprised when I break the handcuffs and stand up, twisting the metal to remove them completely and dropping them to the floor.

"Grab her now!" He yells at the man who comes at me, but I quickly trip him, avoiding using too much force.

I use a barrier to lock him in a box, I don’t even need to use my wand against these weak guys, but Itsuki points a gun at me.

"Stop, I don’t know how you’re doing this, but if you don’t stop I’ll kill you now!" He says, pointing his gun at me, but his hand trembles with fear. But there’s nothing to be afraid of, there’s no one here who’s innocent.

And the trembling in Itsuki’s eyes and hands makes it obvious that he doesn’t want to do this, killing someone with his own hands is probably too much even for a scumbag like him.

"Shoot, you can shoot, it won’t make a difference other than increasing your criminal record for attempted murder," I tell him, and he seems not to care. He pulls the trigger as I approach, but I stop the shot with a barrier.

"Y-You witch!" He says, shooting desperately. Why do people get so desperate? At least this shows he has no contact with monsters since he doesn’t know about magic.

The other men come to see the commotion, but I lock them in barrier boxes while I approach Itsuki, taking his gun and crushing it until it breaks, which leaves him slightly terrified.

"Please surrender because I don’t want to hurt you," I say as I lock him in a barrier so he can’t try to escape. He starts beating on the barrier while yelling at me, but I don’t hear anything.

’I need to get my bag to...’

BANG CRACK

Suddenly I hear a shot and the sound of my barriers breaking, which makes me look immediately in the direction, seeing one of the gangsters dead, the barrier shattered by a shot while his head was pierced.

"W-What?"

CRACK

Another barrier breaks before I have time to process this, another gangster dead. I quickly try to protect myself with a barrier and strengthen all the barriers.

’W-What the hell!? Where is this coming from?’ I see a hole in the wall, this hole indicates the direction the shot came from, and looking at the hole and the angle, the distance is ridiculously high.

It’s so far that my magical girl vision doesn’t let me see where it’s coming from, which means the shot is coming from a distance greater than 7 kilometers.

Quickly, almost all the gangsters are killed, regardless of the strength of the barrier. I quickly stand in front of Itsuki, noting that all the shots are coming from the same direction.

In front of him, I form a powerful barrier that stops a shot. The shot is so powerful that it cracks the most powerful barrier I can make. The situation is so serious that I summon my wand, while Itsuki seems terrified.

’I-I failed...’ Everyone except Itsuki was killed because I was slow to react. Even though they were criminals, they were still normal people I had to protect, and that weighs heavily on my heart.

"Itsuki, stay calm, I’ll protect you." Even though he doesn’t deserve this protection, it’s still my duty. If Itsuki is arrested, there’s a chance he can change and become a better person.

I don’t know who the hell is killing them, but I’ll protect him with everything I have.

...

...

...

"Okay, Setsuna, position 5 meters to the right, 6 to the left," Hexael says to me as I beat my wings, flying with him above my head.

I wall the sniper, following the instructions, and fire. My shot is fired from an absurd distance.

"Good, you hit the target’s head," Hexael says, while I waited for Ayane. Hexael said she was kidnapped, so I decided to kill them, taking advantage of the distance.

Snipers usually have a partner who does the mathematical calculations for the shot. In this case, Hexael is the one guiding me so that my shots can hit even if the location is kilometers away and even if there are walls.

"Setsuna, there’s only one left, that boy named Itsuki who’s the mastermind of the kidnapping. Turn 9 to the left and raise the sight by 3," he says as I obey with a mechanical coldness.

Who cares if they’re people? They kidnapped Ayane as if it was nothing. I fire the shot that quickly covers the entire distance.

"Tsk, Ayane got in the way, but don’t worry, she stopped the shot," Hexael says, which makes me tense.

"Ayane, you idiot, why protect that trash?" I murmur as Hexael seems to think.

"0.3 to the right and 0.42 down," Hexael says as I change the position precisely and fire.

"She blocked it, but the barrier cracked. Increase the force by 1.2 times, and change the position to 0.2 up and 0.4 right," he changes the orders as I change the position again.

Hexael is very precise, so with him I just need to aim, and regardless of the distance, I can hit. Soon I fire the shot.

"Her barrier broke, the shot hit Itsuki’s thigh but without injuring Ayane. However, now Ayane is using herself as a shield," Hexael says as I take a deep breath and climb higher.

"If you climb 700 meters up, it’s possible to hit Itsuki’s shoulder," he says as I quickly rise.

"0.03 up, 0.5 to the right now," he says as I change the position and aim perfectly. I’m very high up, so it’s quite cold up here. Without saying anything, I just fire.

"Hit his shoulder right on, now he’s writhing on the floor while Ayane’s barriers can’t block...Hmm...Ayane decided to opt for a 9-layer barrier."

"Increase the shot power by 6.7 times, and change the position to 7.3 right and 0.9 down, as they’ve hidden behind a pillar," Hexael quickly gives the perfect coordinates.

As soon as I fire, Hexael seems excited. It’s better that Ayane hasn’t been hit, or he’ll have trouble.

"Good, hit him in the stomach, haha Ayane seems desperate to defend him," Hexael laughs at her.

"Hexael, if you’re going to mock my sister, shut up," I say angrily.

"Okay, okay, no need to get so stressed...Hmm, fly 200 meters to the left, 100 meters down, and keep the aim in the current direction for now," he says as I quickly fly as he said.

"Tell me how that scum is doing?" I’ve been very patient. Ayane told me how they broke up, Hexael took that photo out of context, but I decided to let it slide.

I also decided not to do anything to Itsuki because even though he’s a scumbag, it didn’t matter since they had broken up. But now he’s decided to kidnap my sister, and that’s not something I can let slide.

"He’s screaming in pain, serious injuries, but nothing fatal yet, just quite painful. But with blood loss, he could die if not treated," Hexael says with amusement.

"I want to eliminate him with the next shot." I’m quick at this. As soon as I’m done, I’ll go back to the meeting point and wait for Ayane.

"You’ve become deliciously cold. They’re still humans, you know?"

"They’re not innocent, they’re criminals," I say without caring.

"Of course, of course, use that excuse. Aim 8 up, 3 left, and you’ll hit the right side of his head, the current spot unprotected because Ayane’s body doesn’t cover everything. Also, increase the force a bit," he says as I trust him.

We have a contract that I won’t interfere with Ayane’s decisions, but he has to help me save Ayane always. He can’t hurt Ayane, so he can’t lie. I adjust the sniper and slightly increase the current shot strength.

Soon I give what must be the last shot. From here I can’t see him, I can even see the wall of the place where I’m shooting, but it’s not an open space, so I only trust Hexael’s vision. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Congratulations, his head just exploded with your shot, but Ayane got quite dirty with blood. She also seems very sad and has tears in her eyes," he says maliciously to me.

"...It’s okay, she... she’ll get over it. She’s just sad for not having protected them, but she’s a strong girl..." I say, descending.

"She got sad because of you, Setsuna," Hexael says as I grab him, taking him off my head.

"I know...but it was for the best. They didn’t deserve to live after kidnapping her..." I say, both to him and to myself.

"Now get out of here," I say, releasing him. Cats always land on their feet, he’ll be fine even though I’m almost 3 kilometers above the ground.
