Only then did Kiana properly look over the principal.
She was short.
Even shorter than Bronya.
Come to think of it, how old was the principal?
"Lower your head!"
"Hm?"
Kiana was surprised, but she did as told.
Theresa reached out and stroked Kiana's head. "Kiana..."
"Principal, you..."
"Call me Auntie."
"No, no, how could I..."

Kiana felt that Theresa was definitely hiding her true strength.
More importantly...
She seemed to have seen Theresa somewhere before.
Where had it been?
Kiana subconsciously glanced at the magical girl advertisement on
