Chapter 131 The Maiden Possessed by Sacred Power
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
It happened about a month ago. After school let out, we were out on patrol with Dum-chan as usual…!
We’d heard about Orgoamii-san, who supposedly fled to this area. We heard what she and the Demon Lord did in Dum-chan’s world, and we couldn’t let Japan face a similar crisis! I felt a real sense of duty about it.
But! No matter how much we patrolled, we couldn’t find Orgoamii-san at all…!
Gin-chan was complaining about it too, and on this day, she finally let something terrifying slip.
”Hey, Ducky. Is she really here? We’re always being made to walk around for nothing, you know?” Gin-chan said.
’I feel the presence. There is no mistake she is here.’ Dum-chan replied.
”For real? You aren’t just making us walk randomly, are you? If we don’t find her today, dinner won’t be NN Churu¹—it’ll be a whole tube of wasabi. …That’s what Merurun said~” Gin-chan said.
”What!?” Merurun cried out.
’Nyan!?’ Dum-chan exclaimed.
I’m just a perfectly ordinary wasabi lover you could find anywhere. It’s well known that I always carry a tube of wasabi with me and add a little bit to anything I put in my mouth, like bread or snacks.
I used to give Dum-chan NN Churu, but since I eat wasabi every single day, she must have gotten curious! One day, she said to me: ‘I wish to lick a little as well.’
Dum-chan looks like a cat, but she isn’t just a cat. I really wanted to be there for the moment a fellow wasabi enthusiast was born, so I squeezed a little bit of wasabi onto the tip of the tube.
Dum-chan sniffed it and said, “Is this truly food…?” but then she took a lick. I was just thinking that I’d have to add wasabi to her Churu from now on, when suddenly—
’Nyara-ppohyuu! Funya-burappoo!’
She screamed, rampaged around the room, and then fell flat on the floor…!
Ever since then, whenever I pick up the wasabi tube, Dum-chan vanishes from my sight…. She wouldn’t even make eye contact with me for a while….
Why!? I don’t understand how it turned out like that at all!
When Gin-chan and Kiyo-chan heard the story, they started using wasabi as a way to tease Dum-chan too…! I! I won’t stand for it!
’Wait, do not be hasty. There is no doubt we are closing in on them…!’ Dum-chan said.
Even now, Dum-chan is acting really panicked…! It’s honestly insulting to have wasabi treated that way!
”But in actual fact, even if we find this ‘Orgoamii’… what can we actually do?” Kiyo-chan asked, voicing a very reasonable doubt.
Yes, yes, that’s exactly it! We can’t just leave Orgoamii-san alone, but we don’t have the power to go “Hiyah!” and defeat her…
’There is no need for concern on that point. I shall bestow my power upon the pure maidens, and with that power, you shall smite Orgoamii.’ Dum-chan said.
”But even if we get Dum-chan’s power, I don’t know if we can fight…” Merurun said.
Even if you have the power to fight, I think whether you can actually fight is a different story…! Even if I’m given a kitchen knife and told to go fight a bad person! I don’t feel like my body would move!
’You may rest easy regarding that as well. Once you harbor my power within your bodies, I shall directly move the bodies of the maidens.’
”Eh… what do you mean by that?”
’Hmm… shall we actually try it? Is there a place nearby that is hidden from public view?’
When she said that, we ended up at Gin-chan’s house. Actually, Gin-chan’s parents spend most of the year flying all over Japan, so they rarely come back to their family home.
Since Gin-chan gets lonely by herself, she often comes to stay at my house. That’s fine and all, but she always hugs me when we sleep…. In the summer, it’s so hot….
’Then, let us try it immediately. Kanade Gin-ya. I now entrust one-third of my power to you.’
”Yeah, yeah, sure thing.” Gin-chan replied.
Dum-chan and Gin-chan’s bodies began to glow. And then, what do you know! Gin-chan transformed!
”Eh… Gin-chan…!?”
”Kanade-san…!?”
”? Eh, what, what? Wait, what’s with these clothes…!?” Gin-chan asked.
Gin-chan had transformed into something very dignified…! Her face was still Gin-chan’s, but her clothes were something else entirely!
It was a high-leg cut with a lot of exposure on the lower body, yet it felt incredibly noble, like an SSR² fantasy knight you’d see in a smartphone game gacha…. Actually, she was even holding a sword!
B-But… the angle of the fabric covering her crotch was pretty intense…. It made my heart race a little bit…!
Gin-chan was striking various poses while looking in the room’s mirror. Since she was originally tall and model-like, she looked really good in it.
Ugh… I don’t feel like I could pull that off so coolly if I wore the same thing….
Gin-chan turned her gaze toward her own crotch reflected in the mirror.
”Whoa, close one. If I hadn’t shaved, I wouldn’t be able to wear this. Hey, Koushi. You should probably make sure to shave too~” Gin-chan said.
”I am always shaved, so it is no problem.” Kiyo-chan replied.
”Eh? For real? Koushi, were you the type to shave?”
”I checked the booklets left in my older brother’s room, and in all of them, they didn’t have any hair. I thought that would be better, so I am always maintained so I am ready whenever that time comes.” Kiyo-chan said calmly.
”……? What have you two been talking about for a while now?” Merurun asked.
”Haha! It’s probably something that doesn’t concern Merurun!” Gin-chan said.
Anyway, it seems Dum-chan can divide her power into three and harbor it within us. And when that happens, we end up dressed like knights.
’In this world, I cannot wield my power freely. However, if it is you who are humans of this world, you can harbor my power—even reduced to a third—and demonstrate it to its fullest extent.’
”Hmm. But I’ve never swung a sword or anything before?”
’That too is no cause for concern. As a test, let us try a little.’
In the next instant, Gin-chan’s movements stopped dead, and the light seemed to vanish from her eyes.
”Eh…? Gin-chan…?”
Gin-chan started pacing around the room and moving her hands.
’The one moving that person now is me.’ Dum-chan said.
”Eh…?”
’Yes… as expected, if it is pure maidens, there seems to be no problem. With this, I can demonstrate my power without issue.’
* * *
And now. We have finally found Orgoamii-san…! Apparently, she sensed the presence of Orgoamii-san’s subordinates.
Dum-chan seemed to be talking to someone, but the moment she said, ‘Do it,’ we had moved to a place I didn’t recognize…! We were supposed to be in the park just a second ago!
There, besides a fairy, was a man and a lovely girl. The fairy was cute too, and she didn’t look bad at all no matter how you looked at her.
…W-Well. It’s definitely not good to judge people by their appearance. The man was… how should I put it… well. It wouldn’t be strange to see him on the news….
N-No, that’s not it! I’m definitely not deciding that he’s a bad person…! Hauaaaaa!?
But we can’t let our town face the same fate as Dum-chan’s hometown. Besides, everyone has a wish they want to come true.
We stood next to Dum-chan and accepted the power she sent us. Actually, we’ve had training to accept the power several times before, so this isn’t the first time we’ve transformed.
When I opened my eyes, Kiyo-chan and Gin-chan had also finished transforming into their knight outfits. All that was left was to entrust our bodies to Dum-chan.
While we are entrusting our bodies to Dum-chan, we have no consciousness. Moreover, due to something about an Existence Case or a Spacial Sensory Index, it seems ordinary people can’t perceive us while we’re transformed.
I didn’t really get it, but according to what Kiyo-chan said, “No matter what we do, ordinary people cannot perceive us, and they are in a state where they cannot even keep memories of us in the first place.”
To put it in extreme terms, even if we commit property damage, nobody will know it was us…! Amazing!
But during that time, it seems our existence has vanished from this world, and our families and everyone else perceive us three as if we aren’t there.
It’s a little scary, but once we return to normal, everyone will perceive us again.
In other words, now that we have transformed, in this very moment… our memories have vanished from everyone…. But when we wake up next, I’m sure. This world will be at peace.
Believing that, the three of us entrusted our bodies and consciousness to Dum-chan.

Summary:
Merurun, Gin-chan, and Kiyo-chan continue their patrol for the fugitive Orgoamii under Dum-chan’s guidance. To combat the threat, Dum-chan reveals he can split his power to possess the girls, transforming them into magically empowered knights. Gin-chan tests the transformation first, revealing a revealing yet noble outfit. After locating the enemy’s subordinates, the three girls fully commit to the transformation, knowing they will be temporarily forgotten by the world while they fight.

Character Insight:
This chapter highlights the contrast between the girls’ mundane lives—complete with wasabi obsession and mobile game hobbies—and the heavy responsibility of becoming vessels for a deity’s power. Merurun’s internal conflict over judging a ‘bad-looking’ man shows her innate kindness, while Kiyo-chan’s pragmatic preparation (shaving to match her ‘adult book’ references) illustrates her serious, albeit slightly misguided, dedication to their mission.

Behind the Scene:
The author uses the ‘magical girl’ trope but twists it with the ‘possession’ mechanic, where the girls lose consciousness and become invisible to society. The humor involving the wasabi-hating cat-god provides a lighthearted counterpoint to the high stakes of the upcoming battle.
