Magical Subcontractor Ririka ch18-1: Chaos (Part 1)

An unexpected situation continues...

What are you doing, Leaf-chan...!?
Watch out! I don't think she's in her right mind!

Don't tell me Leaf's being manipulated too!?

She's gonna fire -kyu!!

Hey now.

That packed a punch.
So this is Leaf-chan's magic when she doesn't hold back...

I'll get Himawari-san to safety!
Okay, got it!
We'll handle Leaf...

Wait... everyone...

Don't hurt Rifu-chan...
I'm sure she has her reasons...
So please...!

...Okay. Leave it to us!
We'll stop them somehow!

And how exactly
do we do that...?

Wah~
Kya~
I've applied first-aid...
but you need to get treated by a specialist as soon as possible...

Thank you. I'm fine now.
I need to get back and stop Rifu-chan...
You can't! You're seriously wounded!
Please stay still!!

Leaf-san is most likely being manipulated somehow.
The other magical girls seem to be the same.
I can't move?

Manipulated...?
But Rifu-chan was with me until just a moment ago?

For magic such as this, there is always someone behind it.
Have you seen anybody strange?

...Now that you mention it,
there was someone who asked Rifu-chan to help her.
Could you describe this person?
Eh... Erm...

Despite how I look, I am a ninja.
I may not have magic, but I still have tricks up my sleeve.
I want to be of use to everyone, after all.
Momiji-chan...

Intelligence gathering, assassination, infiltration.
I've been training in these skills daily.

Even if I can't take part in the battle,
I will still carry out my role.

Shield!!
Nice one, Akarin!

That's good!
Tch...

Watch out!
This situation... is too much!
...

Hey, where are you going...?

I must first tidy up those getting in the way of our plan.
I'll deal with you afterwards.

What's in that direction...!?

p10

Mimimi-senpai!?

First is Mimimi.
I can shoot her accurately from this position.

Oh no! Mimimi-senpai!!
No good... She can't hear me from here!

Oh no you don't!

p11

Kh!!

Mimimi-senpai isn't transformed!
Uhi~
If Leaf-chan shoots her like that, not even Senpai will be able to...

I've got you. Now die!
Please...! Save Mimimi-senpai, Lupina-chan!!

p13

Oh?

Pii~
That doll!?

Alright, it worked!!
Watch out, Mimimi-senpai~!
Wait! Don't let her escape!

Out of my way.

p14

Urk!

Ririka! Go handle Leaf!
R-Right!

I'm the one you guys gotta face!
You ain't taking another step!!
