Magical Gentleman - The Encounter

...Where are we? This scenery looks familiar...

？！

What? Why are...why are we back?

Fou?

And Chloe and Fou are here too?

？！

Master, you look kind of happy, so you don't count!

No, I'm sorry. I'm just panicking.

I was under the impression that traveling between this world and our own had become impossible.

That's what Romani said. Is this another random Rayshift?

LOLz! It's no coincidence!

？！

It's Blackbeard!

And for some reason he's wearing a miniskirt!?

The character portrait cuts off at the waist, but the muscled thighs peeking out of his miniskirt make quite the impact.

And me! Look upon me, as well!

A ruffled petticoat! Clinging pure-white tights! A perfectly coordinated outfit!

Fo, fou...

Wh-What are you two, with your, um... unusual outfits, doing here?

Bwahaha, well, you see... (Approaching) You see...! (Thrust)

The pain!

Oh, I'm sorry! I couldn't help it! Your beard and skirt left too much of an impact.

Anyway, you're a bad influence on Chloe, so please move further away!

Otherwise, my shield will slice you thin!

Gnnuughhh! Your shield!? ...Wait, how do shields work again!?

Mash, you look like Liz, but you're closer to Sella personality-wise.

I'm fine. You don't need to be so sensitive.

There are some school nurses who don't wear underwear because "it's fashion, so it's not embarrassing."

And it's kind of fun to see loser adults up close. Hehehe.

Chloe's kindness and her devilish smile are to die for!

But are you telling me the principles expressed through our wardrobe are incomprehensible?

？！

We love magical girls every day of our lives, and worship them with all our hearts and souls!

Movies, merchandise, maidens' lovely voices in CDs! But that's not enough!

We want to live with them, and become one with them... That's right! Together! To get HER!

Yes! We want to be with them as much as we can! But there's no point in us becoming magical girls IRL!

And at last, SHE came, an answer to our ambivalent prayers!

？！

Mwahah! I ain't tellin'!

I'm not letting a traitor like Fujimaru join us!

The way you said "us" sounds like there are more than just the two of you.

Indeed! There are four of us in all! You might call us the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen of Magical Girl-philia!

Once we learned of this space between parallel worlds...

...this très bon☆psychedelic land, there was only one thing we could do!

Summon that ever-distant Magical Girl utopia!

It sounds like someone's getting loose with the story writing.

That is why we desire...the truth that lies in the rifts of fiction!

You're not allowed, Fujimaru! You think you can just join us like that smh...

I'm not benevolent enough to let in a traitor like you!

Oh, but we'd be more than happy to have Chloe! You could be an honorary magical girl advisor to the We Love Magical Girls Alliance!

That sounds fun, but I'll pass. I don't like joining little cliques like that.

？！

You never did tell us your reasoning behind those outfits, but let's put that thought aside.

Master, Chloe, have you noticed? This world is somehow...

Yeah. It's changed a lot since we left.

The spatial connections and the presences of enemies lurking around are all surprisingly different.

And I don't see Helena anywhere, even though she stayed behind.

If this is a different Reality Marble, then Reality Marbles have become pretty cruddy.

What should we do, Master?

Is there any danger in letting this infestation spread?

Don't talk about us like we're insects!

Neither do I.

I don't want to question their hobbies, but...

But we can't let them go out of control to the point where they threaten other worlds or Chaldea...

That might happen. But Fujimaru...

I kind of agree with those old guys.

OMG Chloe! Are you a goddess?

？！

Does it really matter? It's natural to want to be near cute things.

Right, Fou? (Squeeze)

Kyuu...

(Squee)

But... But even so...

This is my first mission... and you're going to pay for turning it into a stupid farce!

You'll suffer so much pain you'll wish you'd never been born! It'll be certain death for you!

It stopped being a farce the moment you said that!

Very well! Try and stop the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen! Many trials await you, maybe!

More specifically, the strongest warriors that we could find...

Caladbolg II.

OMG! This young tanned girl is dangerous!? Sexy!? And fatal!?

Tch, missed...

Ooh, she's looking at us like we're bugs! Scary! In the future she's gonna make one hell of a dominatrix!

But that's not what we want from you, Chloe...

We want you to be more like, um... all the little devil girls of the world turned into one...

Caladbolg III!

Whoa! Terrible! I'm very sad to say that there seems to be no room to negotiate... so retreat! Retreat!

Yes... No objections... No objections...

Wait! Blackbeard! Phantom!

At least change so it doesn't hurt to look at you! Change before you retreat, please!

？！

R-Roger!

Yes. I'm gonna get serious for the first time in a while!
