Uh oh. MC is gonna kill her friends at this rate.

Thank you for the translation. I’m assuming the demons used some kind of mind manipulation magic

Bad time to catch up. (Page 48)

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Taikhi]

After waiting for such a long time.

Thank you for your hard work.

"Smack them around until they wake up" is a standard mahou shoujo trope.

I think we expected this to happen. I mean wasn't it last chapter where she had the thought of aren't humans stealing the smiles of demons. Given that a magical girl is to protect everybody's smiles, who qualifies as everybody? I would say a "Brave" that kills children and believes that going straight to extremes like murder probably shouldn't fall under that grouping (including if he has some BS backstory about how the magical girls led the demons to kill his village which probably had them injured, left them to die, and actively made their life worse). Does a king who protects his people with extremes such as using forbidden magic to manipulate his daughter's memories because of an inconvenient truth count?

Maybe, maybe not. But I don't think a heroine "protecting everyone's smiles" would be ok with enabling the assault on the civilians in the town outside in order to get to him.

hopefully it's not a bad end manga

friends all become evil
Haruna in despair become the demon lord
get killed by brave
end

Are we the baddies gif

Even if she's sympathetic to their cause, I doubt someone that would willingly endorse these methods would be someone that Haruna calls a friend like this.

We last saw her at the start of chapter 1. Haruna was warped as they had just finished a battle and were being told about "a big magic crystal under their town" that needed to be destroyed to stop the monster attacks by their team mascot thing.

Haruna was warped alone, as far as we know.

From what the hero said, the other mahou shoujo were active before (or maybe simultaneously with, though I think things have been happening too quickly for the destruction of the hero's hometown to be similtaneous...) Haruna's arrival. That means the order in which they warped does not correspond to when they arrived...

We don't know if the circumstances of their warping were the same as Haruna's or not. They could have been sent over as a consequence of the attack on the "big magic crystal" under their town (or some other operation), or they could have been defeated (and gotten captured... Magical girls being brainwashed and slapped back to their senses is not uncommon in the genre), or even the mascot could be something other than it seems.

Would be a twist if the warp was supposed to brainwash them all, but Haruna stayed free will because of her own strong conviction as Magical Girl or sth

You can ignore this post because I'm here just to make some explanation because I'm taking some liberty with translating some line in this chapter.

Spoiler: Spoiler

The second one is this.

I asked my proofreader to make it more like a transformation spell and this is the result. It's good, that's why I use it.

I think the original transformation lines are meant to be read like a single-line summoning command: "Bloom brilliantly, magic of smiles!" (i.e.: requesting the magic of smiles to bloom). Similar to shikai in Bleach (e.g.: "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!").

 

[kirby_422]

So, Yellow has decided protecting "everyone's smiles" includes protecting the demons smiles?

 

[derpdederp]

Maybe she's been there for thousands of years looking for Haruna and has gone insane. Maybe the demons and magical girls do have a connection and it explains why they came to Earth. Perhaps its one messed up time paradox.

Or maybe she's just been brainwashed. Or even being a magical girl itself is where the brainwashing began.

 

[dokidoki]

Ok this got interesting sorta, Wonder whats her friends excuse for killing innocent people like that

 

[WatermelonPlease]

What if the king executed the blue magic girl so they where understood to be the enemy?

 

[Redsaint]

she recognizes her friend but seem only mildly phase by it, so either it was a short absence with a brainwash for her or it was so long ago and she just became insane by her unending “childhood“ like other magical girl manga.
on the plus side if she has to beat her old friend to death, Emy could end up with her transformation. I’m leaning this route cause Emy is clearly uncomfortable with the clothing modification so we got that continue comedy going.
also, the king is stabbed and probably dying, he’s definitely end up releasing the magic sealing his daughters memory so that gonna end up being a factor.

I was soooo confused like what why does this guy hate her so much and it made sense in like a few panels lmao. Thanks for the translation
