Teacher, I'm Actually a Villainous Magical Girl

So whether before or after transforming, Kirishima Ai was used to calling her a "flirty idol."

Kirishima Ai always felt that Sakaki Chika was the kind of love-struck girl who would someday marry some weird, frivolous man.

She would probably get beaten by him every day afterward, while her husband used her money to play pachinko.

But out of politeness, Kirishima Ai did not say it aloud.

Of course, Sakaki Chika was not the one she cared about most.

It was Teacher Haihara.

If one observed carefully, one would notice something strange.

—Teacher Haihara was in the classroom too.

Normally, whenever it was another teacher's class, Teacher Haihara would return to her office to slack off. She did not want to spend even a moment longer in the classroom.

Yet somehow, she only stayed in the back corner of the classroom during music class.

It was truly baffling.

Could Teacher Haihara and Teacher Suzuki be close?

It was not impossible. After all, they were both young female teachers teaching the same class.

But Kirishima Ai had thought Teacher Haihara was the type who could not even be bothered to make friends.

At the very back of the classroom, Teacher Haihara sat in an empty seat in the last row, quietly watching Ms. Suzuki teach.

Just like her students, music class on this day every week was what she looked forward to most.

Ms. Suzuki was beautiful today too.

Haihara also liked how gentle she was.

Haihara silently nodded.

Though she admired and cared about Ms. Suzuki, Haihara did not want to become some heavy, gloomy woman who peeped at her every day. After watching for a while, she started playing with her phone instead.

Listening to Ms. Suzuki's voice while looking at her phone, Haihara felt as though even her morally bankrupt soul had been healed a little.

As a female teacher, she did not have many hobbies.

Watching dramas, movies, beautiful women's photo collections, teasing Snake, and occasionally going out for a walk.

On Saturdays and Sundays, she would spend money to hire a JK for one day to accompany her shopping or to the movies—commonly known as playing with women.

It was merely the simple daily life of an ordinary female teacher.

There was nothing special about it.

Other than that, she chatted with the few people she knew.

Such as some online friends.

Oh, right, and her ex-boyfriend from university, who had been her first love. They still kept in touch even now.

The reason they broke up was that she thought he was a little too effeminate.

Even his online name was something like "Magical Queen A-chan?"

It was too stupid and too effeminate. Haihara simply could not stand that kind of nonsense.

But today, the person texting her was not her ex-boyfriend, but...

"Cyber Immortal Girl."

Yes, it was her childhood friend, Kougami Kage.

That research Monster.

Though that was merely the nickname Haihara had given her.

She had heard that after Kougami learned what nickname Haihara had given her, she had changed her online name overnight to match it.

Then why had Haihara even bothered adding a nickname...

Cyber Immortal Girl [Wifey, wifey, do you want to go out for dinner with me this weekend? I know a really nice restaurant. I'll treat you to a romantic candlelit dinner?]

Come to think of it, Haihara remembered that this childhood friend had once been very introverted and timid. How had she become so outgoing now?

Even though their relationship was only average, she still spoke to her so affectionately.

Magical Girl Lily-chan☆ [Not eating.]

Haihara gave a brief reply.

Very quickly, another long message appeared on the screen, making Haihara wonder whether this person was monitoring her screen.

Cyber Immortal Girl [Wifey, then do you want to watch a movie with me? I heard there's a really good horror movie out recently. You should like it. I'll book out the theater, and it'll just be the two of us. How about it?]

A horror movie?

Haihara did quite like horror movies.

She had no interest in Hollywood blockbusters or coming-of-age romance films. Horror movies were much more interesting.

But if she were going to watch one, she preferred watching alone.

Magical Girl Lily-chan☆ [Not interested.]

Cyber Immortal Girl [Okay, then wifey, drink more water and take care of your health?]

Inside the laboratory, Doctor Kougami Kage scratched her messy ash-black hair and fell into deep thought.

What exactly had gone wrong?

She looked at the large screen before her, her AI smart butler, "Haro."

Unable to figure it out, Kougami Kage could only question her AI butler.

"Haro, did you analyze it wrong? Why doesn't Lily like that movie?"

According to the data analysis, that movie was clearly the kind Haihara liked.

Haro on the large screen fell silent for a moment.

[Could it be that what she dislikes is you?]

"?"

Haihara's Melancholy

In the morning, as usual, there was Haihara's boring Japanese class. In the nearly hypnotic atmosphere, the students were drowsy, and the teacher at the front had no motivation either.

However, Kirishima Ai and Sakaki Chika in the first row were both listening attentively.

Recently, Haihara's class had been peaceful, probably because no Monsters had appeared.

Haihara had agreed with Sha Qina that they would deploy Monsters after the weekend. That way, even if the girls had to go out as Magical Girls, it would not affect her performance.

Suddenly, Haihara noticed that the phone on her podium vibrated.

She did not pay it any mind and simply continued teaching.

At the same time, Kirishima Ai, Sakaki Chika, and Takanashi Shiori in their seats all froze.

The three of them had been listening to the lesson properly when they suddenly exchanged looks, each looking at the others.

Kirishima Ai signaled Sakaki Chika with her eyes.

Sakaki Chika widened her eyes, then frantically shook her head.

When they looked at Takanashi Shiori, she had already lowered her head and pretended not to know anything.

Kirishima Ai immediately gave them a deadpan stare.

After a while, a voice that made Haihara's heart stop rang out—

"Teacher, excuse me."

Haihara's hand holding the chalk trembled.

She fell silent for a moment, then turned around and saw Kirishima Ai in the first row standing up again with resolute determination.

The two fell silent, as if confronting each other.

Finally, Haihara was the first to crack.

"Kirishima, what is it?"

Under Haihara's icy gaze, Kirishima Ai once again repeated the excuse she had used countless times.

"Teacher, my stomach hurts."

The entire class turned to look at Kirishima Ai.

They all showed expressions of admiration, once again awed by Kirishima Ai's courage in standing up to the teacher. It was as though she had no respect for the teacher at all.

Haihara watched her coldly for a moment without answering immediately. She merely reached for her phone and opened it.

It was a text from Sha Qina.

[Ms. Haihara, sorry. The new Monster ran out on its own.]

"..."

Haihara almost wanted to transform into a Magical Girl and eliminate that Monster herself.

She raised her head again and looked at Kirishima Ai.

"I'll give you five minutes. If you're not back in five minutes, prepare to come to my office."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Kirishima Ai quickly ran out, leaving behind Haihara with a dark expression.

The air in the classroom immediately became extremely oppressive, and the students who remained did not even dare breathe.

After a while, Haihara returned to her previous cold and calm state, turned around, and continued teaching.

Less than five minutes later, she heard her phone vibrate again.

This time, she did not ignore it.

Haihara turned around and expressionlessly opened her phone. It was another text from Sha Qina.

[Ms. Haihara! The new Monster is incredibly powerful! Magical Girl Silver Feather is no match for it at all. We're winning big!]

Magical Girl Silver Feather was about to be defeated, which should have been good news.

But Haihara did not rush to pop the champagne.

Soon, another figure stood up before her.

The little girl who stood up was trembling nonstop. Too afraid to raise her head, she stammered softly.

"T-Teacher..."

"...Speak."

"M-My stomach... hurts too."

Sakaki Chika said with a smile that looked like she was about to cry.

For some reason, Haihara did not feel any particular emotion at that moment. She only felt her mood suddenly grow calm.

She even smiled.

It was merely exceptionally cold.

"You and Kirishima, prepare to come to my office together afterward."

Not long after the battle began, the invincible Magical Girl Silver Feather had been knocked to the ground by the new Monster, her eyes shut tight and her mouth hanging open.

This battle took place in an amusement park. Because of the Monster's destruction, the Ferris wheel had stopped turning, a large section of the roller coaster track had fallen away, and people scattered in panic, screaming everywhere.

What made them even more panicked this time was that even the Magical Girl had been defeated.

And beneath the Ferris wheel stood a strange and eerie humanoid creature—the so-called Monster.
