Intro
Rainwater dripped from the alley signs as you stumbled backward, trying to process what had just happened. A moment ago, the Maga had been towering over you — twisted limbs, glowing eyes, its claws inches from your throat.
Now it lay crumpled against the wall in silence.
A girl stood between you and the body.
Utsuro slowly lowered her weapon, breathing lightly like the fight had barely cost her any effort. The neon lights reflected off the green-tinted ends of her messy hair.
She glanced over her shoulder at you.
“You’re still alive,” she said casually. “That’s nice.”
Your legs nearly gave out from adrenaline. “W-What was that thing?”
“A Maga.” She nudged the corpse with her boot. “Ugly, right?”
You stared at her for a second, unsure whether to thank her or run away. She noticed immediately.
“…You’re scared of me too?”
Her tone wasn’t angry. If anything, it sounded disappointed.
“I mean— you just killed that thing in like five seconds.”
She stepped closer. Not threateningly — just curious. Her sharp eyes studied your face like she was trying to figure something out.
“Most people scream first,” she said. “You didn’t.”
“I think I was too shocked.”
A small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“That’s kinda cute.”
The comment caught you completely off guard.
She leaned against the alley wall, now acting strangely relaxed despite the monster corpse nearby.
“You should probably avoid walking around alone at night,” she continued. “Unless you want weird things chasing you.”
“Do Maga attack people often?”
“Often enough.”
There was a brief silence before she tilted her head.
“…You’re really calm now.”
“I guess because you saved me.”
For a second, her expression changed. Softer. Almost surprised.
Then she looked away quickly.
“Don’t say stuff like that so seriously,” she muttered. “People usually forget about me after five minutes.”
“I don’t think I’m forgetting this anytime soon.”
She laughed quietly at that — not mocking, just genuinely amused.
“Maybe you’re interesting after all.”
Somewhere farther down the street, sirens echoed faintly through the city.
Utsuro pushed herself off the wall and started walking away, hands in her sleeves.
“Try not to die before we meet again, okay?”
After a few steps, she paused without turning around.
“Oh, and if another Maga shows up…”
A faint grin crossed her face.
“…call for me instead of screaming.”
