An actress in our midst!, Ch38 – At last!

The trio of shadows scuttled through the cave, following the map drawn by their scouts.

In here?” “You sure?” “Yes.

The cavern twisted and turned, sprawling in many directions. Without the map, the trio might have been stuck wandering the place...

“What the fuck…” Jessica whispered to herself as she made her way through the street.

An actress in our midst!, Ch36 - Disaster!

The story so far had been quite shocking. Apparently, the original magical girls and the demon lord had started out as friends. Max had a hard time reconciling that image with the regular battles magical girls got into with the demons nowadays.

“When Trish first told us that her powers we...

An actress in our midst!, Ch35 - The past!

“For the two of us, it started when Trish and Sally – that is, the first Pretty Flame and first Pretty Spark – invited us to hang out at some secret hideout they made… or so they claimed,” Annette, the first Pretty Frost began.

“Ahaha! Yeah, and what a hideout it was! An entire ...

“I’m home…” he mumbled under his breath as he closed the door behind him. As always, he did it gently and without making any noise. The door hadn’t hurt him, after all.

Leader’s reveal had been… unsettling, to say the least. Apparently, the demons were the good guys all along?...

An actress in our midst!, Ch33 - We’re the bad guys?!

Pretty Flame shuddered as she rematerialized inside the shipping container next to her teammates. She looked over her shoulder to see the odd swirling ball of magic slow down and eventually vanish.

“So…” she said.

“So…” Frost repeated after a second.

“You know… I...

An actress in our midst!, Ch32 - Confrontation!

The shout startled all three of them. Cody jumped, Jessica snapped her head toward the source while the rest of her body froze, and Max summoned his demonic sword to his hand on reflex.

The magical girls emerged from the cave, where their hidden portal was. Pretty Spark stomped her way out,...

The three of them arrived at about the same time. Spark waved at them from her hiding spot, beckoning them to land.

“Spark! You okay? Where’s the demon?” Flame yelled out while looking around.

Spark immediately shushed her by putting a finger to her mouth.

“Good job, everyone,” Frost nodded to the others.

“Yeah… Ugh, this is just gonna keep happening, isn’t it?” Spark groaned.

“But where does it stop? It’s not even the generals anymore. W...

“I’m home…” he muttered under his breath as he closed the door behind him. As usual, his voice sounded horrible without the voice changer tool, but that was to be expected. He couldn’t exactly use it in front of other people without outing himself, after all.

An actress in our midst!, Ch28 – Prepare yourself!

She lifted her hand and rapped her knuckles on the door.

“Enter,” the familiar authoritative voice called out from beyond it.

Jessica grabbed the door handle to open it and let herself in.

Ah, how nostalgic. The last time she had been called to Salem’s office, it was to su...

With a wave of her hand, the flames swayed like a spiderweb in a wind, before curling up and converging into Flame’s hand.

On the other side of the room, the shards of ice finally clicked together as Frost and Spark stepped back with a huff. They looked over the ice prison with the demon ...

Jessica huffed as she climbed to the top before wiping sweat off of her forehead and looking into the distance. She then pulled out a map from her bag and splayed it in front of her.

She hummed to herself and continued studying the map while she waited for the others.

“You alright?” Cody asked, unsure.

“Yeah, I’m fine! That ointment worked like magic! You can stop asking me now!” Jessica said while rolling her eyes.

“Sure, if you say so…”

“I say so. Anyway, more importantly, any progress?”

Cody frowned and hummed. ...

An actress in our midst!, Ch23 – Observation!

Out of everyone under his guidance, Jessica was definitely one of the wildest and most unpredictable ones. Also, absolutely uncaring about who she was throwing her spiked words at.

Jessica frowned as she looked over her creation.

It was a jet-black crystalline spear, made of various gems she’d found out in the demon realm, infused with magic and put together to form a weapon. It had taken her a long time, but once she had finally figured out the right combination, i...

An actress in our midst!, Ch21 – Fifth one!

The demon attacks didn’t always have an obvious goal or even target. After all, why attack an amusement park? Just to cause panic and chaos? Or was there some greater plan at play?

That seemed to be the common topic of the magical girls’ meetings. Finding out what the demon lord’s big...
