Magical Hunter Girl Decorates the Dungeon! Episode 001
— — —
A dungeon is a battlefield of survival of the fittest.
It is a natural sight to see the weak being hunted, or rookie hunters being exploited by veteran guilds.
That was the daily reality of the dungeon as perceived by Mr. Kim, a mid-level hunter.
‘But… what am I looking at right now?’
Even after rubbing his eyes, and even after using an item to dispel hallucinations just in case, the image of the young girl in a hoodie did not vanish from Mr. Kim’s field of vision.
‘What is that kid?’
Her only educational background was likely graduating from kindergarten.
Seeing her solemn expression, which contrasted with her cute face, Mr. Kim almost burst into laughter.
‘I shouldn’t let my guard down. The fact that she got in here means she breached our guild’s security, right?’
Perhaps she was a hunter who had transformed into a child.
Mr. Kim tensed up and opened his mouth.
“Kid…? Who are you?”
“Magical Girl Daisy! …is who I am.”
“…….”
The young voice adding a polite honorific late made his grip loosen on its own. It was the exact tone of a lower-grade elementary student playing princess transformation games at a local playground.
The child continued with a serious expression.
“You are exploiting low-level hunters in this dungeon, aren’t you?”
“Exploiting? Ha, do you even know what that means?”
“Stealing time and effort!”
As if she expected someone to ask seriously. Finding her crisp, clear response amusing, Mr. Kim openly curled one corner of his mouth.
“Wow, you’re sharp. Where did you learn that?”
“From the dictionary by myself… No, don’t change the subject. I came here knowing that you all are doing bad things.”
The child pointed behind Mr. Kim. Magic stones were scattered across the ridges of the low-level dungeon, which the Dungeon Management Department had designated as E-rank.
However—
“D-rank monsters appear here, right? If left alone, they might slip and die stepping on those piles of magic stones, so it’s fine to ignore them.”
“…….”
“But I heard your guild is so stingy about a few magic stones that get crushed by monsters that you bring in hunters and force them to fight the monsters.”
“……That is a hunter’s job, kid.”
“But you guys use the dungeon rank as an excuse to bring in E-rank hunters to fight D-rank monsters, don’t you? That’s fraud!”
As she kept pushing with logical arguments, Mr. Kim, who had been dismissing her as just a child, was now speechless.
‘What on earth is this kid? Did she swallow the Ministry of the Interior and Safety manual?’
His pride, which refused to take a brat seriously, moved Mr. Kim’s mouth.
“Little girl. Haven’t you learned your ABCs yet? The letter E comes after D. It’s better.”
“I guess you only eat Grade 3 beef, then. Since it’s better than Grade 1.”
“Hahahaha!”
Ah, he had tried to let it slide nicely.
Mr. Kim twisted his lips and delivered a reality that was somewhat harsh for a child.
“It’s because E-rank hunters are much cheaper than D-rank hunters! Isn’t that obvious?”
“It’s not obvious. I came here knowing that many hunters have been hurt because of your guild!”
“The ones who got hurt are just stupid. I don’t know how you found out, but—”
Mr. Kim scratched his head and stood up.
“I can’t play with you anymore. I have work to do.”
Before long, those naive E-rank hunters the kid mentioned would enter the dungeon. Mr. Kim had to clear a path to lure the monsters before then.
Mr. Kim paid a little attention to the kid.
‘Seeing as she made it this far, she must have some trick up her sleeve—’
The magical power felt from the child was very weak, and there were no other signs of life nearby.
‘She’s a pushover, isn’t she?’
Even a Chihuahua would be more threatening than this kid.
His tension, which had quickly dissipated, turned into annoyance.
‘I could have made her cry if I’d just scared her a little; what a waste of time.’
Fine. Let’s just throw her outside the gate.
Then the guild guards would handle investigating who was backing this kid.
“Hey kid. Want me to play airplane with you for a bit…?”
The moment Mr. Kim reached out his hand.
The kid pulled out some kind of book and shouted.
“Where justice is needed, I bloom! Flower Warrior Daisy, blooming here!”
As soon as she finished speaking, yellow petals began to flutter.
That wasn’t the only strange phenomenon.
In the desolate dungeon where the only plant life was moss, flowers began to bloom one by one. They were all things even someone with no interest in flowers would recognize. Roses, sunflowers, forsythias….
Is this a dungeon, or Everland in May?
The sunflowers that had shot up even swayed left and right as if dancing. As if they had eaten an Everland part-timer.
‘Did the hallucination-dispelling medicine I took earlier go bad?’
But what bewildered him more than the flowers was….
‘My body won’t move!’
Forget his limbs, he couldn’t even twitch his eyelids. Petals repeatedly slapped his face, which could not resist.
Meanwhile, an even more unbelievable sight unfolded before his eyes.
The kid’s hoodie seemed to glow, and in an instant, it transformed into a dress with unbalanced skirt hems that fluttered. Her sloppy cargo pants also changed into rolled-up shorts.
Finally, the kid’s Crocs floated slightly in the air and changed into ankle boots….
*Pop—☆*
With a cheerful sound, the brat stood on the ground and shouted.
“Magical Girl Daisy, appearing!”
The petals circled the kid once and settled down.
‘…What on earth is this situation?’
Mr. Kim’s strength returned a moment later.
But the strange phenomenon wasn’t over.
The book the kid had pulled out earlier was floating in the air, flapping its pages like wings. A strange voice, as if modulated, rang out.
[You have no fear. Daring to lay a hand on Daisy?]
“Wh-what is this…?”
[Let’s show them a bitter taste with a friend, Daisy!]
*Flap, flap, flap*, the pages turned faster—
The kid placed her hand on the page and shouted.
“My friend, Black King Rabbit, summon!”
Overwhelming light poured from the book.
At the same time, another magical power began to be felt in the dungeon.
‘Was she a summoning-type hunter?’
But I can’t let her do as she pleases anymore.
Mr. Kim drew his weapon.
His instinct, honed from living a rough life, whispered—even now—to do his best against an elementary student.
“Hnnngh!”
Almost at the same time he imbued his club with magical power, what was summoned in front of Mr. Kim was….
“…….”
A black rabbit.
It was a bit big, but it was just a rabbit nonetheless.
Just before Mr. Kim could burst into a mocking laugh.
A heavy male voice flowed from the rabbit’s small snout.
“Seeing a club, are you a close-combat hunter? You relied only on magic and neglected your exercise, I see. Your muscles are pathetic.”
“What? Wh-who are you!”
“What does it matter to you?”
For a rabbit, its voice was unnecessarily good. If you listened with your eyes closed, it sounded like a handsome man speaking….
‘…Wait. That voice. I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before?’
However, before Mr. Kim could reach an answer, Daisy shouted.
“King Rabbit, your tone!”
“Ha….”
The black rabbit furrowed its brow and took a step forward, saying.
“As one who judges, I ask you, meow!”
“……Meow?”
What kind of concept is that with such a cool voice?
The rabbit, with an expression as if it were gritting its teeth, continued firmly.
“The defendant recruited rookie hunters under the guise of providing good jobs, made them face overwhelming monsters, and then, using the excuse that they didn’t fight well, even skimmed the promised daily wages. Most of them were severely injured and unable to work for a while, meow.”
Ha, today even a rabbit is pretending to be righteous. Feeling truly cornered as a villain, Mr. Kim snapped back.
“Is it my fault they’re weak? If they got paid, they should have been worth the money!”
“Thanks to them buying time, you mined magic stones and easily defeated the monsters, meow. Now it is you who must pay the price, meow.”
“Uh, uhhh?”
Suddenly, the surroundings grew dark, and two paths unfolded before Mr. Kim’s eyes.
The black rabbit said in front of the fork in the road.
“There are two paths for you, meow. Atone by helping others, or be consumed by your sins right now.”
The left path was a flower path surrounded by the flowers that had bloomed earlier. However, it looked closer to YouTube horror content than Everland anymore.
A suspicious voice rang out like a broken radio.
“Ha, hee, hoho!”
“Happy, life! Good, adult!”
Between the flower beds, nameless beasts with mouths torn wide open waved their front paws with grinning faces.
The right path was… a familiar dungeon landscape.
But there, pitch-black human shadows were staring at Mr. Kim.
Seeing the blood dripping *drip, drip* from the shadows, Mr. Kim realized what they were.
They were the rookie hunters Mr. Kim had sacrificed until now.
On the path to them, magic stones were sprouting like thorns.
“Ah, ah….”
I hate both.
I want to run away. But why won’t my feet move?
Even my mouth wouldn’t open.
I have to say something—
“There is only one ending for a villain!”
With the girl’s sharp voice, the darkness lifted.
Beyond the flower bed and the rabbit, Daisy shouted.
“I speak with the power of my friend, Black King Rabbit. Live a good life from now on!”
Light poured from Daisy’s hands.
The wind blew, and at the same time, the petals on the left path attacked him.
“Aaaaaaah!”

* * *
For the past few weeks, a strange rumor had been circulating in the hunter community.
It was that a self-proclaimed ‘Warrior of Justice’ was breaking into dungeons famous for unfair contracts and messing with the dungeon owners.
Title: One of the thug guild’s dungeons is ♬ed
Body: The manager there has gone crazy.
They say the guild leader locked up the person who was going around lecturing on how to avoid fraudulent contracts lololololol
[Comments]
-Isn’t it a case of ‘turns out they were a good guy…!’?
-As if. They were a named rookie-crusher.
-The pattern is the same as other warrior victims. They work alone, fight someone, and then the person changes.
Title: If even the thug guilds are being robbed
Body: It’s about time they joined forces and moved.
From what I know, many guilds have been robbed. They’re just keeping quiet because they’re embarrassed.
[Comments]
-Are they going on the dark wanted list?
-That would be so fun. Welcome to the Great Pirate Era.
-↑Otaku bastard.
Title: Don’t get your hopes up about a wanted list (Internal info)
Body: They say no one knows their appearance.
Even the ones who fought them can’t remember.
Even though they remember them coming with their face exposed.
[Comments]
-Is it a skill?
-De(x) Da(x)
-[OP] Even though they remember them coming with their face exposed.
-Hey, you ♧♪♬
Yes. No one will be able to remember.
Passive Skill
[It’s a Secret That I’m a Magical Girl☆ (S)]
: Witnesses of the ‘Magical Girl’ cannot cause harm to the hunter’s daily life due to acts such as leaking information.
