Magical Girl (Middle-Aged Woman) / Aoko: You're Going to Laugh Me to Death
Watching himself arguing with Luviya on the TV screen, Rin shook his head helplessly.
She was unaware of the rumors circulating among Magecraft, nor was she aware that her "glorious deeds" at the Clock Tower had been distorted, and even Shinji had been "injured" by word of mouth.
But there was one thing Tohsaka Rin was very clear about—she had made a huge fool of herself.
The average viewer might not know, but surely the Magecraft do?
Especially those Magecraft who studied at the Clock Tower could immediately tell from the beginning who Shinji was subtly implying.
"I thought it was just about playing True Magic old lady on camera, but I didn't expect it to start like this. Why didn't Shinji tell me beforehand?!"
"Isn't that obvious?" Sakura said calmly. "Just letting you know, this beginning can still be kept?"
"Matou Shinji!!"
In the dead of night, the mournful cries of the Tohsaka family's eldest daughter echoed from the Matou Residence.
Fortunately, no outsiders overheard, otherwise strange rumors like "Shinji Matou forced himself on Tohsaka Rin" would definitely have spread the next day.
Chapter 275 Magical Girl (Old Lady)
Under the brilliant night sky, beautiful fireworks bloomed continuously.
If someone were to observe this with a high-powered telescope, they would discover that what was flashing in the sky was not fireworks, but rather a series of Magecraft attacks.
One red, one blue – two figures, darting and weaving through the sky, were clashing at incredible speed.
"Hey! Why are you attacking me?! Haven't you forgotten this is a joint mission?"
Although the red figure was shouting and yelling, her attack speed with her staff was not slow.
"Hooray! This kind of simple task can be done by me alone! You're the biggest obstacle to me completing the task!"
The blue figure continued her frenzied attack on the red-clad girl opposite her, letting out a haughty queenly laugh.
In this scene, Rin and Luviya, two True Magic women over 17 years old, are recklessly using Magecraft to attack each other.
What? You're asking why a 17-year-old is considered an "auntie"?
As everyone knows, the career of Magical Girl has an extremely short shelf life.
The term "girl" typically refers to females aged 7 to 17.
However, modern people are more lenient with their language. Let alone the critical age of 17, even those who are a little shameless can brazenly call themselves "teenagers" before the age of 25 and no one will object.
The only exception is [True Magic Girl]. Due to the special nature of their profession and the extremely high level of embarrassment, once they pass the "chuunibyou" age, they can no longer be considered "girls" but rather "old ladies".
Of course, if we consider "[Magical Girl]" as a profession, then there are Magical Girl who are 35 years old.
Regardless, for Rin and Luviya, two girls who already knew about shame, it was undoubtedly a bit embarrassing for them to be floating around in the sky in light, ribbon-adorned clothes at their age.
However, this is only in the typical case.
Anyone who knows even a little about Tohsaka and Edelfelt knows that once they get into a fight, they can battle each other for three days and three nights, no matter what—whether they're dressed as Magical Girl or in sexy lace dresses.
Faced with such a violent young lady, not only would people find it unbearable, but even the True Magic they wield would be unable to withstand it.
After shielding Tohsaka Rin from a beam of light, Ruby the Red Staff finally reached her limit and refused to let Tohsaka Rin use her Class Card.
The same thing happened to the blue staff Sapphire in Luviya's hand; it also refused to let its master use Class Card.
"..."
"..."
Suddenly, the sky, where the battle had been raging, fell silent, shrouded in an eerie stillness.
"Hey! Ruby!"
Tohsaka Rin tapped her staff with the card while complaining, "Why isn't it reacting?! Give me a reaction, Ruby!"
However, the only response they received was a helpless gesture with the True Magic shrugged.
"Seriously, I'm speechless about you two."
"What?!" *2
At this moment, the two young ladies were unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
"You didn't lend us to fight, did you?"
"Is this for you to complete the tasks you've been assigned?"
"But you're actually using our power for personal fights... Shouldn't you stop putting the cart before the horse?!"
Faced with the staff's string of grand pronouncements, Rin and Luviya both shrank back.
There's no way around it. They know it's wrong to fight with wands, but when they get really angry, they don't care about anything else. The only right thing to do is to use a fierce attack to knock the other person down!
Faced with such a capricious Master, these two wands decided to be capricious for once as well.
"Temporarily--"*2
Before her two True Magic aunties could react, the wand slipped from their hands at lightning speed.
"--Let's relax a bit!"*2
Rin and Luviya's Magical Girl costumes vanished abruptly after losing their staffs, and they themselves fell directly from the sky.
"Ah!! I fell!!"
"You wretched Safia! You'll remember this!"
With a wail like that of a villain from a comic book, the two young ladies of Magecraft plummeted to the ground.
In the original manga and anime, after the wand slipped from their hands, Rin and her friend argued with it for a short while before falling.
But that's a technique used in anime; it would be too jarring to film a live-action version.
Although Rin and Luviya are Magecraft and can use Magecraft to levitate, they shouldn't have fallen from the sky in such a pathetic way.
Shinji wouldn't do something so pointless as to create a loophole that would require various explanations later on to fix this short dialogue.
So Shinji simply had Rin and Luviya fall from the sky, which was a clean and efficient solution.
However, while Shinji handled the situation cleanly, the person involved suffered a major embarrassment.
Smack
Off-screen, Tohsaka Rin covered her face and let out a long sigh, "Don't hold it in, just laugh if you want to."
"Haha--Sorry, Rin--Haha."
Artoria waved apologetically at Rin while shaking her shoulders and laughing.
Rin feigned magnanimity and said, "I expected this to happen when we were filming. Consider it a treat for everyone."
Compared to the insightful opening, this argument was much calmer.
It's not that she didn't care, but after being mentally prepared and experiencing the initial shock, Rin's mindset became much calmer.
This was also related to Artoria's very restrained laughter, giving Rin the illusion that she hadn't lost too much face.
In fact, Artoria was only being polite because Rin was around; some people's laughter was far more exaggerated and unrestrained than hers.
"Pfft, hahaha! That's hilarious! This is the first time I've known that Shinji Matou has a talent for comedy! Hahahaha!"
Lying on the sofa, Aoko burst into laughter, almost spitting out the potato chips she was eating.
Aoko's rude behavior wasn't disliked by the others in the club, because everyone was in a similar situation.
Seeing Rin and Luviya's desperate attempts to slow down using Magecraft, only to end up falling flat on their faces, the young Magecraft couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Most people watch movies for entertainment, but Magecraft, in addition to enjoying the plot, can also find more enjoyment in the characters than the average viewer.
It's important to know that the Edelfelt family holds a significant position in the Magecraft world, Tohsaka family's popularity has been steadily rising in the Shinji Matou's promotion.
To witness these two young ladies suffer a setback, especially one based on a true story, is like seeing your favorite class heartthrob perform on stage as Mr. Wang, the father of Teacher Yu, as described by Teacher Guo.
Besides the joy of comedic stories, there is also the joy that comes from being an actor.
Aoko burst out laughing, collapsing onto the sofa and groaning, but her eyes remained glued to the TV screen, as if afraid of missing an even funnier episode.
Chapter 276 Aoko: You're going to make me laugh to death.
The laughter in the club gradually subsided when Rin, her hair disheveled, got up on the screen and followed Ruby's magic.
There's no way around it, I can't keep laughing, I need to take a break during this calmer part of the story.
Everyone believes that this is definitely not the only comedic moment in <Magical Girl liner Prisma Illya>.
Unfortunately, the story didn't continue focusing on Tohsaka Rin and Luviya, but instead began telling the story of the protagonist, Illya.
This left the viewers who had been laughing non-stop somewhat disappointed, since the first episode has only had three segments of story so far.
The first segment is the opening, which tells the story of Luviya and Rin causing a huge mess at the Clock Tower and being exiled to Fuyuki City, Japan.
The second paragraph introduces the protagonist, Illya, providing the audience with background information about the story.
The third segment is the scene where Rin and Luviya fought in the air, and Rin was ultimately tricked by the magic wand.
This shows that the first and second segments mainly consist of Rin and Luviya bickering, providing the audience with a lot of laughs.
In comparison, while Illya's storyline is also humorous, it's clearly not as funny as Rin's and Luviya's.
But soon, the audience changed their minds.
Because Ruby, this lively character, and Illya's interactions are also very interesting.
Due to censorship issues, the scene between Illya and Shirou in the bathroom definitely cannot be filmed.
Putting everything else aside, the image of Illya completely naked in the bathroom would never appear on camera.
Even using a light and mist mosaic wouldn't work, because not only would the censors not approve, but the parents wouldn't approve either, and the great Demon King Kiritsugu Emiya certainly wouldn't approve.
Therefore, this scene was changed so that Illya was attracted by the flashes of light created by the two True Magic women in the corridor, stopped there and looked up at the sky, and Shirou Emiya went up to talk to her.
He had been secretly patting Illya on the shoulder to scare his sister, but unexpectedly, a True Magic fell from the sky and hit him directly in the face.
This time, the club erupted in laughter again. Aoko's eyes narrowed into crescents as she pointed at Shirou the screen, which had been distorted Ruby Ruby's collision, laughing so hard she couldn't speak.
Indeed, the core of comedy is watching people suffer misfortune.
This wasn't the end of it. Ruby wanted to send herself directly to Illya and sign a contract with Illya, but she failed because the little girl instinctively dodged.
But this didn't stop the eccentric True Magic from continuing to woo the little girl.
It introduced itself to Illya in a standard salesman's tone that was innocent, naive, righteous, and even a little cloying.
"Nice to meet you! I'm True Magic - Ruby, the True Magic wand of love and justice~"
"You've been chosen as the next Magical Girl candidate!"
"Quick! Grab your cane!"
"Join me in the fight against the evil forces (that I perceive as such)!"
To summarize Ruby's words. "Make a contract with me and become Magical Girl!"
Then, Illya, who absolutely adores Magical Girl, immediately expressed her opinion.
"This guy... is too suspicious."
It's no wonder Illya thought that way; Ruby's deep, masculine voice was just too suspicious.
It was supposed to be the voice of a cute young girl, but it emitted a grotesque laugh that sounded like that of a middle-aged man. This was definitely not a legitimate True Magic.
At least when QB is abducting young girls, he tries to act cute!
Unfortunately, even though Illya had already noticed Ruby's problem and was on guard, she still fell for the strange cane's trick and made a contract with it, becoming Magical Girl.
After all, the show is called <Magical Girl Prisma Illya>. If Illya doesn't fall for the trick and become Magical Girl, it'll be like Naruto in Hokage not becoming a ninja but opening a ramen shop instead.
However, just as Illya became Magical Girl, Tohsaka Rin, who seemed to have returned from the Middle East battlefield, appeared.
"Found you, Ruby ~~"
Tohsaka Rin clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, preparing to send her True Magic straight to the Counter Force.
"This look... pfft hahaha!"
Viewers off-screen were doubled over with laughter at Rin's comical appearance, but Tohsaka Rin and Ruby's comedic antics continued unabated.
After discovering that Ruby refused to come with her and had even signed a contract with an innocent little girl by the roadside, Rin slammed Ruby against the wall to vent her anger.
