No Marriage, No Magic

When it comes to what girls long to be, it's gotta be...

A magical girl?

That's right! I'm being chased by bad guys,
so I'd like you to become a magical girl and fight them.

No way.
Eh?

Magical girls have to fight, right? Sounds exhausting.
I wanna get to cram school and study right away.

Cram school...?
In this day and age, you need to study properly for the sake of your future.
Life can be tough if you're not prepared for it.

I think children should live for their dreams a little more!
Like dreams of being a magical girl!
What a pain.

W-Wait! Don't say that! Help me!
Please just hear me out!
I'll grant any wish you want!

You wanna be a florist or a baker?
Or maybe even a popular idol? Anything you want, I can make it come true!

Anything?
Yeah! Anything!

...

Then
I want a normal marriage.

28 years later.

Hazuki! Here it comes!
Yeah, I know!

Nanase Hazuki (38)

Man~ Good work out there~
Thanks for saving me like al-
ways!?

What are you doing~?
I've been doing this for almost thirty years now.
When the hell is this gonna end, Maron?

It can't be helped.
Hanya?
What doesn't end doesn't end.
For thirty whole years?

These things just take time.
Relax. I'll make sure to keep my promise.
You better!
What kind of wish doesn't get granted for thirty years!? I haven't had anyone to marry over here!!

Whenever I had a chance to marry someone... they always called it off over some nonsensical reason.
I'm thinking of getting a sex change★

Cosplay

Think I'll go reincarnate into another world.
Wait~

Is this a curse!? Will it really not come true until it's all over!?
Uwoooah

No, surely the fault lies with you?
You're blaming me?
I'll squeeze you to death.
You picking a fight?

It's a custom on my planet too,
but I wouldn't do something like marriage~

That's completely different from not being able to marry even though you want to.
That so?

But still.
They've been showing up a lot lately.
I wonder if the big boss has found out where I am~

The big boss might attack soon~
The sooner the better in my opinion.

So this is where you were...
!

I was wondering why my servants hadn't been coming home and went to check it out.
Looks like Mamu's hit the jackpot.

p10

Hazuki! That's her! The big boss who's been sending enemies after me!
Eeh!?

Huh!?
Big boss!? That's a cruel way of putting it!

It's true that you've been sending those monsters after me, isn't it?
They're my cute servants who have been working to search for you!

p11

Well, it matters not. I'll catch you
and bring you back to our planet.
Prepare yourself.

No way.

I'm out of here!
You handle the rest!
Ah! Hey, wait!!

p12

Wai-
That was close!!

Hey! What are you doing!?
We were still talking!

Wait, he's gone already!
Geez! I have to chase after him aga-
Hey.

p13

I dunno what you two are blabbing about,
but I'm running out of marriageable age because everyone boyfriend I managed to get engaged with up until either reincarnated into another world or got a sex change.

Huh?
What are you even talking about!?
And what's that got to do with me!?

Everything, you dumbass!

I've wasted thirty years contracted to that bastard
for the sake of my dream married life!

p14

I'll crush you right here, right now!!

You guys!
Quit spacing out and get in formation!!

p15

Honestly! I finally found him after all this time!
I'm not letting him get away here!

DON'T GET IN MY WAY!

p18

Kyah!?

Kh! Not yet...

p19

Eep!?

With this, it'll all be over...

...hy?

Why...?
Why...?

p30

Why is this happening~!? You cheater~
Waaaaah
You thieving caaaaat~

Thieving cat...? Cheater...??

p31

I was only chasing after him,
Uwaaaahn
What happened?
so why do I have to go through all this painful and scary stuff?
I hate this~

I bet you're just doing this because you were tempted by him,
Waaaaah
even though he already has me~!

Hey hey...! I'm not following you!
What are you even talking about!?

p32

He's your fiancée!?

He and I were betrothed,
but thirty years ago, when we were to be wed, she suddenly ran away.
I've been searching for him ever since, but he kept on evading me...

Eh...? What...? You mean I got caught up in your lover's quarrel?
So it would seem...

But still.
What do you even like about that guy?

p33

It feels like those round eyes of his show he thinks about me seriously~<3
He showed me a world I had never known before~<3
Ah~ She's hopeless.

It's gotten quiet~

Guess I should clean things uP!?

I've heard everything. Why the hell have you been running
from your fiancée this whole time?

Coming all this way to Earth... I thought your life was in danger or something.
There we go.

W-...
Well, y'know...

p34

Guys are cool when they're being chased, right?

The hell is this guy saying?

Man~ Mamu really went all out in chasing after me,
so I've had a pretty thrilling time.
It got a little dicey here and there,
but Hazuki saved me along the way!

p35

Man~ Thanks a whole bunch!

Eh? You mean I've been doing everything you told me to do
just for your own amusement...?

Well~
I guess you could say that?

Being with me was pretty fun, right?
Mamu doesn't seem too dissatisfied herself.
Ending things here is pretty sad, but

I'm pretty satisfied.

p36

FUCK YOU!

You've been using that woman, who's been chasing after you with all her heart,
and your excuse is "because it's cool"!? Even fucking around has its limits!

Even though I'm supposed to be a magical girl, you make me fight with my bare fists and then just leave me like that!?
Don't look down on a maiden's thirty years!!

p37

Mamu, was it!?
Don't let this bastard deceive you!

Your devotion is your charm, but it's not to be used here!
Even without this asshole, there's plenty of other who are willing to treasure you!
Open your eyes already!

I'll prove that you can be happy, Mamu!!

From now on, I'll help you find someone else to...

p38

I've decided!
Eh!?

You're thinking so seriously about me.
I'm sure this must be fate!

p39

I... love you, Hazuki~!!
HUUUUH!?

I've decided! I'll be married to you for life!

Well uh, I can't get married until I complete that guy's request, so...

Huh? If it gets Mamu to stops chasing me, then the request is pretty much fulfilled, right?

Powers of deduction

Just like that!?

p40

We've both wasted thirty years of our lives... sniff
but we've both had some good times!
You just said it was a waste, didn't you!?

I said I wanted a normal marriage, though!
It's not exactly what I wished for...
Oh?

Same-sex marriage is normal in my culture, though.
I'm perfectly fine with it.
Well I'm not!

You said you'd prove I can find happiness, didn't you?
Uwooooah!
I did, but not like thaaaat!

Congratulations on getting married
