My Brother Can’t Possibly Be a Fallen Magical Girl Chapter 2 Part 3

Chapter 2: Nursing Home (Page 3)


**Just a year later, the second Black Tide Crisis erupted.**


Spatial rifts appeared once again, but this time, they weren’t limited to East City. They emerged all over the world, primarily in highly developed cities like New York, Washington, London...


Faced with this situation, humanity was on the verge of despair. They couldn’t possibly drop nuclear bombs on their own cities, could they?


At this critical moment, magical creatures akin to Pokémon appeared. These beings could form magical contracts with young human girls, granting them the power to combat the Disaster Beasts.


Soon, the second Black Tide Crisis came to an end, and humanity finally found a glimmer of hope for resistance.


That same month, humanity established the Earth Abyss Handling Security Bureau. The girls who formed contracts with these magical beings were officially dubbed "Judicators," a title widely accepted by the older generation.


However, the younger generation preferred to call them "Magical Girls," with the anime and manga community leading the charge. They even formed fan clubs for their favorite Magical Girls, cheering them on during battles. It wasn’t uncommon to spot these die-hard fans lurking in the ruins during fights, despite official regulations explicitly prohibiting such behavior. Yet, nothing could curb their enthusiasm.


Even the Judicators themselves secretly preferred the term "Magical Girls." The term was brimming with youthful energy and a sense of girlish charm—after all, who didn’t have a bit of a  girl’s heart? Over time, except in official documents, most people referred to them as Magical Girls.


During this period of repeated Black Tide Crises, humanity also categorized the Disaster Beasts based on their destructive impact on society and the difficulty of combating them. The hierarchy was as follows:


**<Falling Star, Eclipsed Moon, Descending Sun, Asura, Crystal Wall>**


---


**The Third Black Tide Crisis**


During this crisis, humanity, emboldened by the power of the Magical Girls, believed they could easily fend off the Abyss’s assault. Overconfidence led to a rude awakening, and the cost was devastating.


The Disaster Beasts emerging from the spatial rifts were significantly stronger. In the first two Black Tides, most Disaster Beasts ranged between **Falling Star** and **Eclipsed Moon** in strength. By the third wave, their overall power had escalated. The weakest among them were now at the **Eclipsed Moon** level, with **Descending Sun** and **Asura**-level beasts forming the core forces. At the pinnacle were the three **Crystal Wall**-level Demon Princesses, and finally, the Abyss Lord—a colossal titan rivaling Godzilla in size, summoned by the three Demon Princesses.


The victory came at a tremendous cost. Humanity’s population plummeted from a peak of 7.4 billion to 4 billion. Two-thirds of the Magical Girls were lost in the fight. Out of 24 human defense fortresses, 14 were breached. Countless bustling cities were reduced to ruins overnight.


Peng Liang’s family was among those lost during this crisis.

“Let’s not dwell on the past. When are you going to let me meet your future wife? The elder here are getting anxious. If you can’t find anyone, I can introduce you to a few candidates,” Peng Liang teased with a mischievous grin.


“Tsk, I’m in no rush. I’m more curious about how you’re planning to handle your two gorgeous girlfriends. I’d hate to one day find myself mourning your headless corpse,” Bai Yuze shot back, glancing at his friend. Peng Liang stood at 185 cm, looking every bit the tall, goofy guy.


Bai Yuze then caught a glimpse of himself in the nearby glass: 178 cm, with short black hair, sharp features, and a somewhat androgynously handsome face. His eyes sparkled with a certain brightness, and his well-toned physique, while not imposing, was at least more refined than Peng Liang’s.


So why was it that Peng Liang had two girlfriends while he had none? Life was truly unfair.


“You laugh at Brother Cheng for leaving early, but Brother Cheng laughs at you for having no game. Don’t worry, they’re both my wings. I’ve got this under control. It’s getting dark, you damn sis-con. Hurry home and cook dinner, or you’ll end up crashing at my place again, ruining my quality time with my girlfriends.”


Peng Liang emphasized the word “quality time” with a smirk.


“As if I’m scared of my sister. I just let her have her way,” Bai Yuze retorted, though his eyes betrayed him as he glanced at the darkening sky.


Unnoticed, the moon had risen, and the day was fading. It was indeed time to head home.


“Damn it, you traitor. Acting like I enjoy staying at your place.”


“Yeah, yeah, you’re so noble and righteous. Next time your sister kicks you out, don’t come crawling to my place for food and shelter.”


Bai Yuze: “......”

Chapter 1: The Enthusiastic Female Colleague (Page 1) In a brightly lit  conference  room, a group of people sat around a table, deep in discussion. At the front of the room, a leader wearing half-rimmed glasses spoke with great enthusiasm. Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner, Bai Yuze sat with a vacant expression, seemingly lost in thought—or perhaps not. In his line of sight, the scene before him was entirely different from the reality of the meeting room. He was no longer in the same world. In his vision, he found himself in a cave filled with piles of purplish-brown flesh. The glowing objects above were low-level abyssal calamity beasts, clinging to the fleshy ceiling of the cave. They wriggled as they absorbed nutrients from the fleshy walls, their bodies emitting a faint green light that illuminated the damp, cold cavern. A putrid stench filled his nostrils. At the center of the cave stood several calamity beasts, arranged in a clear hierarchy, gathered together as if ...

Chapter 1: The Enthusiastic Female Colleague (Page 2) Hoshino Seri looked at his perfunctory attitude and sighed. "Actually, Mr. Bai, if you have any psychological needs, you can always come to me for help." "Really?" Bai Yuze suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with hope as he turned to Hoshino Seri. His gaze caught her off guard for a moment, but she quickly composed herself and nodded seriously. "If I can help, I’ll do my best." "No, you already have. Seeing Ms. Hoshino’s pure and flawless smile every morning fills me with hope and motivation for the new day!" A faint smile tugged at the corners of Bai Yuze’s lips, as if trying to make his expression more convincing. "Mr. Bai, you’re so smooth with your words. Were you a playboy in the past?" The young Ms. Hoshino clearly wasn’t thick-skinned enough to handle such compliments. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed a bit embarrassed. Her gaze lingered for a few secon...

Chapter 2: Nursing Home (Page 1) "So tired..." As he walked out of the school gates, Bai Yuze muttered about being exhausted, but instead of heading straight home, he boarded a bus and made his way to the Akihabara Nursing Home, located across half of Ye Qiu City. He was going to volunteer at the nursing home. Most of the residents at the nursing home were victims of the third wave of the Black Tide Disaster. Their families, children, and friends had all perished in that catastrophe. As soon as he entered the nursing home, the elderly residents turned their eyes toward him, their wrinkled faces lighting up with faint smiles. It seemed that the arrival of a young person had lifted their spirits. "Xiao Ze is here! What funny stories about your mischievous students do you have for us today?" "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ze. You come here every day to help us old folks with this and that." Bai Yuze greeted the elderly residents warmly and made his way i...
