My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Inside a meeting room on a high floor of some office building.

“This quarter's performance isn't looking good. I know everyone's been under a lot of pressure lately, and with the numbers right there in front of us, nobody can afford to relax. But the more pressure we're under, the less we can afford to lose our composure..."

At the far corner of the long table, a young woman in a sharp OL business suit, around her mid-twenties, sat there utterly bored, letting the words go in one ear and out the other. Despite her strikingly beautiful face, faint dark circles clung under her eyes as she secretly spun a pen in her hand.

—It was incredibly nimble, like she was twirling shuriken or kunai.

But the moment that invisible ripple swept through her body, a flash of black-and-white light flickered in her dead-fish eyes.

"!!!"

She shot to her feet, her proud chest bouncing violently, and blurted out:

"Boss!"

"Sorry, I need to take a sudden leave. There's an urgent family matter!"

The next second, under the shocked gazes of her colleagues and the manager, this workaholic—who never missed a day, was always punctual, and never arrived late or left early—bolted up and charged out of the meeting room.

Thirty seconds later.

A black-and-white meteor streaked across the night sky, flying straight toward that building in the city center labeled 【Happiness Peace Committee】.

………

Inside a large chain supermarket downtown.

The noisy broadcast of sales announcements mixed with the rattle of shopping cart wheels.

In front of the fresh produce section, a housewife wearing a light green loungewear set, with a black braided ponytail, was pushing her cart along.

Even in such loose clothing, it was hard to hide her noble, gentle aura and her stunningly beautiful face.

She gazed at the vegetable area, her eyes darting between different kinds of greens, seemingly pondering what to pick.

Just as she was about to drop a corn cob into her basket, that invisible wave arrived without warning.

An emerald-green light flickered in her eyes.

"Clatter."

Her fingers unconsciously loosened, and the meticulously chosen corn rolled back onto the shelf.

But she reacted in an instant, pulling out her phone, dialing a number, and holding it to her ear as she spoke rapidly: "Honey, something's come up tonight, so I can't make it back for dinner... Mm, it's Association stuff, but not combat—it's good news. Tell the little ones for me... Mwah♡"

Moments later, a green meteor shot up from the alley behind the supermarket, flying toward the same destination.

………

At that very moment.

In every corner of the city, those previous-generation magical girls looked up because of that ripple.

Some were on stage, some in libraries, some on their way home from work, some spending time with family.

But at this instant, they all gazed in the same direction, the same brilliant light shining in their eyes.

"Grandma, where are you going?"

"I'm stepping out for a while. I won't be back tonight."

"I'm meeting friends tonight—no raiding the castle. Tell the guild for me!"

"You can't leave, President! There's only two hours left until the start of the siege! What are we supposed to do if you suddenly bail?"

"Sweetie, Mommy has some things to take care of tonight. Make sure you finish your homework!"

"I know, Mommy!"

Red, yellow, green, blue...

Tens of meteors in different colors shot up from all directions.

They had only one target—

That starting point and home for all magical girls, the place that recorded everyone's hopes, worries, laughter... and their very existence.

…………

"Huh? This is..."

Su Fang blinked.

In essence, all magical girls' Soul Gems—their source of power—came from the Sacred Tree, so the girls naturally sensed this wave just as clearly.

It was sort of like... a joyful announcement?

But before they could say anything, the silver-haired girl asked softly, "Phoenix, how long will it take?"

"Hmm... It'll probably take..."

Phoenix hugged her wings, closed her eyes, and tilted her head, as if communicating with the Sacred Tree. Then her gaze sharpened, and she flapped her wings violently: "How the heck would I know how long this time?! There's no progress bar for me to look at!"

"This time?" Tang Keren raised an eyebrow.

Phoenix coughed violently a few times. "I meant this time!"

"I just slipped up talking in bird-tongue... Anyway, it should be done around midnight or so, probably."

"What time is that, and what's going to happen?" Su Fang asked curiously.

Phoenix turned her head away, her voice brimming with excitement: "It means the time when the Sacred Tree fully fuses with the Fragments of Hope!"

"Of course, I don't know exactly what'll happen, but in short—"

"Compared to the Sacred Tree, which reclaimed those last few largest Fragments of Hope and regained all its power—"

"The Abyss, weakened and having lost its 【King】, which held most of its strength and will to resist, can at most drive a few upper-level Nightmare Seeds to attack..."

Zihan murmured, "That means..."

Phoenix spread her wings again, puffing up like a fluffy ball: "That's right, the Sacred Tree won!!"

The girls exchanged glances.

Even though they had mentally prepared themselves countless times on the way here, being officially told this fact still left them all looking dazed.

Tang Keren's smile could barely maintain its idol poise: "The most dazzling magical girl's achievements are now etched into Kazenari Town's history..."

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Su Fang looked up at the entrance.

Without anyone needing to remind her, the others sensed the magic power fluctuations too, along with those brightly colored meteors descending from the sky.

And this was only the beginning.

A rain of meteors fell from the heavens.

Following that came the sound of the main door's lock being swiped open.

Amber had already stood up and immediately headed out to greet each one of them.

A magical girl in a purple gown, her long purple hair tied up, holding an ornate violin, exuding a strong musician's aura, walked in and waved at everyone with a smile.

"Long time no see, Phoenix, little Airwen... and our great heroes!"

Amber smiled. "This is the seventh generation's 【Purple Melody】. She came really fast."

Before the words faded, another blue figure stepped in—short in stature, clad in heavy armor, with only a youthful face exposed and a long katana tucked at her waist.

Su Fang exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! It's the fifth generation's 【Azure Star】!"

Next came a peculiar magical girl in extremely skimpy attire, making Tang Keren's eyes sparkle with excitement: "The seventh generation's 【Silent Hunter】!"

Then a very familiar figure appeared.

Su Fang spotted that spirit-like silhouette: "Ah! Senior 【Forest Pixie】!"

Her smile was still as sweet as ever: "Little Su Fang, you really did it."

"..."

One after another, streams of light fell.

Amber, Tang Keren, and Su Fang called out names like they were rattling off a menu, instantly recognizing these retired magical girls, and each of them greeted everyone in their own way.
