Bonus Chapter: White Lion’s Day

As a super high-ranking cadre of the Dark Organization, White Lion believed his mornings should begin exactly like this:

Knock knock knock!

The office door was knocked upon. 

White Lion, who had pulled an all-nighter handling every last bit of official business, slowly awakened from his sleep.

“Lord White Lion, these are the most urgent documents. Since BOSS is still completely obsessed with those boring toys and can’t tear himself away, I could only bring them to you for review.”

His most valued cadre candidate, Lina, handed a sealed file over to him.

This concerned the Dark Organization’s future strategic plans regarding the Magical Girls. 

In principle, any single clause in this document could influence the organization’s future arrangements and schemes. 

One careless mistake might affect the ultimate goal or even lead to its failure!

Therefore, this file was classified among the highest secrets. 

It required the highest leader’s review and approval before anyone else could see it.

But now, as the highest leader, that Black Dragon… the guy might as well not exist!

Thus, such classified matters could only be handled first by the second-in-command.

White Lion’s brows furrowed tightly as he memorized the document’s contents, silently calculating everything in his mind.

“Proceed like this first… (omitted 500 words), then… (omitted 700 words). Remember, we must… (omitted 1000 words). That is the specific situation. Do not make any mistakes!”

The cadre reserve Lina nodded seriously and recorded every single word White Lion said in her ever-present notebook.

“The rest… Mm, there are no other issues. That will be all. Time to move on to the next task!”

White Lion passed the remaining documents to Lina and propped himself up on the desk with one hand.

The prolonged high-intensity work had left both his body and mind exhausted. 

His body swayed noticeably when he stood up. 

Fortunately, White Lion had not neglected his physical conditioning, preventing him from collapsing back into his seat.

“Lord White Lion, you’ve worked hard.”

Lina thoughtfully handed White Lion a cup of coffee loaded with an enormous amount of sugar and milk. 

The rich aroma and sweetness revitalized his body functions to peak efficiency once more.

“You thought of everything. I needed this.”

White Lion accepted the coffee without any politeness.

The warm temperature and excellent flavor brought immense pleasure to his taste buds.

After a simple break, White Lion arrived at the employee work area.

Seeing their leader arrive, the monsters currently working all stopped what they were doing.

“Lord White Lion!”

“It’s Lord White Lion!”

“Oh my god! We get to see him in the flesh!!!”

The monsters grew extremely excited upon seeing their idol. 

One seal monster became so emotional that it instantly transformed into a magic crystal nucleus surrounded by swirling black magical energy.

It was fine, though. 

Even after turning into a magic crystal nucleus, rational monsters would temporarily store their consciousness inside. 

Sending the injured party to the infirmary would allow it to bounce around in a new body within minutes.

“Don’t overwork yourselves. Just finish your assigned duties. There’s no need to rush the extra tasks.”

Looking at the monster employees who were nearly evolving into panda monsters, White Lion felt a touch of emotion.

It turned out he wasn’t the only one working hard…

In the time that followed, White Lion moved back and forth across the work area.

Whenever he saw a monster encountering difficulties in their tasks, he would stop to offer guidance.

Because some monsters’ minds had not yet developed to the level of adult humans, White Lion’s guidance sessions were not always smooth. 

Errors frequently occurred due to various immature reasons. 

Fortunately, through the joint efforts of White Lion and the monsters, these mistakes were quickly corrected.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, afternoon had arrived.

White Lion did not halt his steps. 

The weekly routine training session with the Magical Girls had yet to be completed.

He casually selected a shopping mall and ordered some fried foods at a fast food restaurant to quickly satisfy his hunger.

After dealing with these minor matters, White Lion headed to the most prominent and crowded spot in the shopping mall.

Without saying a word, he drew his treasured ornamental piece—a long sword crafted from pure gold.

“Oh my god! It’s the leader of the Dark Organization! Everyone run!”

After he pulled out his weapon, the nearby passersby immediately recognized his identity and fled in all directions.

“‘Elegant Commander’! Your days of committing evil are over!”

A group of vibrantly colored Magical Girls poured into the shopping mall after all unrelated personnel had evacuated.

Excellent. It seemed these Magical Girls had made progress instead of standing still.

Isn’t this them recognizing me when I’m not wearing my tailcoat?

In the past, when White Lion went out without his tailcoat, merely carrying his sword, he was always mistaken for a clumsy imitator—even by those Magical Girls!

But today! He was finally going to shed that strange label of “Tailcoat Monster”!

Seeing these Magical Girls standing fully armed before him, battle intent filled White Lion’s eyes.

“Come! Let’s have a satisfying fight!”

He drew his golden sword and single-handedly clashed with over a dozen Magical Girls.

Despite their numerical advantage, they could not overwhelm White Lion’s presence.

The disparity in strength was simply too great. 

His sword moved like peeling an apple—a casual swing could send a Magical Girl crashing to the ground.

However, an unyielding spirit shone in the girls’ eyes. 

Each failure only made them stronger.

The battle lasted a full two hours.

White Lion thoroughly enjoyed himself, and these Magical Girls grew even more powerful through his tempering.

At the conclusion of the fight, White Lion deliberately created an opening and took the simultaneous ultimate techniques from the Magical Girls head-on. 

Then, he vanished within the smoke and dust produced by the battle and departed the shopping mall.

Their real objective was not to thoroughly defeat these Magical Girls, but to gradually raise the Magical Girls’ strength through repeated battles.

Only when they became sufficiently powerful could they truly protect this beautiful world.

By the time this battle ended, dusk was approaching.

Yet White Lion still did not stop. More important matters awaited him.

He quickly returned to the Dark Organization’s concealed building.

In the massive training field at the lowest level—large enough to accommodate two football fields—a blue-haired girl had been waiting for quite some time.

“You’ve arrived, Lord White Lion.”

This blue-haired girl spoke with an unbelievable boyish voice. 

Any ordinary person hearing it would find it strange. Correct, this “girl” was not actually female but a boy with the equipment.

He was the ultimate weapon White Lion had personally recruited and secured the loyalty of, to be used against the anti-humans. 

He was also the older brother of one of the Magical Girls White Lion had battled earlier that day.

One could only say that blood siblings truly resembled each other. 

Their appearances were identical. 

If their heights and voices matched perfectly, the two would be utterly indistinguishable.

“Begin today’s training.”

Immediately after, dark green-black light radiated from the youth’s entire body. 

Amidst a majestic surge of energy, a powerful dinosaur-shaped monster was born!

Allow me to solemnly reintroduce it—this was the Dark Organization’s great killer weapon against the anti-humans!

—Dark Fang!

Although his strength was quite formidable, in terms of technique, he fell far short of White Lion.

Subsequently, the final battle of the day unfolded within this enormous training field.

At first, the two fought neck and neck. White Lion could not help but sigh in admiration. 

As expected of the person personally selected by Black Dragon. His growth potential was truly terrifying…

Later, White Lion utilized his perfectly honed combat techniques to break through the opponent’s defense in an instant.

“I lost…”

The defeated Dark Fang did not appear overly dejected. 

He simply felt a bit unconvinced. After all, powerful warriors possessed their own pride.

“It seems I still cannot defeat you after all…”

White Lion turned around. 

He held an extremely deep appreciation for this warrior. 

However, the other party was still too green! Until he matured into a true warrior, Dark Fang did not yet qualify for White Lion to use his full power.

“Wait, White Lion!”

Dark Fang suddenly charged forward, blocking his path.

“Please continue to guide me in the future!”

The corners of White Lion’s mouth lifted into a curve. 

What he enjoyed watching most was talented warriors who continuously strove through effort to surpass themselves—this inspiring process.

Ring↑ Ring↑ Ring↓ Ring——

A rather catchy musical tone suddenly sounded. It was White Lion’s phone ringing.

“Hello, who is this?”

Although the other party’s contact was the first one saved in his address book, he deliberately asked anyway.

“You… Never mind. Come to my office. There’s something I need to assign to you…”

The voice on the other end belonged to Black Dragon. 

For some unknown reason, his tone today was exceptionally gentle, leaving White Lion unable to summon even the slightest urge to punch him.

“What is it? Can’t you tell me over the phone?”

White Lion felt it was troublesome. All his time should be devoted to practical affairs.

“It’s something very important…”

Hearing Black Dragon speak in such a tone, White Lion—who had known him for many years—did not waste any more time. 

He quickly made his way to the top floor of the building.

As soon as he pushed open the office door, White Lion saw Black Dragon standing with his hands behind his back, facing the large floor-to-ceiling window to the side.

This time, he was not wearing that incredibly sturdy set of armor.

“You’ve come.”

Black Dragon did not turn to look at him. He simply pointed at an object on the desk.

“Take this.”

White Lion stepped forward and discovered it was a black crown.

Black Dragon spoke once more. His words carried the weight of many years yet also contained an indescribable sense of anticipation.

“From today onward, you shall be—Toward the light🎵~ Toward hope🎵~ For a better tomorrow🎵~ We dedicate our youth🎵~”

Black Dragon turned around and abruptly began singing the signature song of the renowned Magical Girl idol—Ying Guang.

“Wait, what is all this?!”

Just as White Lion stood there dumbfounded, a massive black shadow suddenly engulfed him.

When he looked up, he saw it was Vivian—no, it was Super·Giantized Vivian!

Then, the poor White Lion was snatched up by Super·Giantized Vivian, who had torn open the roof.

“Ehehehe~ Big Brother White Lion, you’ve gotten so tiny!”

Super·Giantized Vivian giggled cheerfully while looking at White Lion clutched in her hand.

“Such a small little cutie must be delicious, right~”

Under White Lion’s horrified gaze, Vivian opened a bloody maw identical to Dark Fang’s.

Before he could even let out a scream, his body entered a state of weightlessness.

Bang!

“Ow! That hurts!”

White Lion woke up from his dream, looking around in a daze.

What was going on? Where was Super·Giantized Vivian? Where was Dark Fang? Where was Lina? And… that damn Black Dragon?

He found himself sitting on the floor, dressed in pajamas, with the bedsheets he had messed up beside him. 

Only then did White Lion realize that the utterly absurd scene from earlier had been nothing but a dream.

Right at that moment.

“Toward the light🎵~ Toward hope🎵~ For a better tomorrow🎵~ We dedicate our youth🎵~”

The familiar music sounded from the floor above once again.

White Lion: “…”

Good grief. So this was what caused my nightmare!

This was the Dark Organization’s dormitory. For some reason, White Lion’s room was located directly beneath Black Dragon’s room.

Without hesitation, he activated the long-prepared floor-vibrator. The noisy music from upstairs cut off abruptly.

Several minutes later, an intense and satisfying free-for-all brawl broke out in the dormitory corridor.

What a beautiful morning…
