Chapter 226

Haihara quickly realized what was happening.

"Nothing."

Haihara was a little surprised that they were suddenly talking about this topic.

To be honest, Haihara hasn't been a teacher for very long, less than two classes at most?

Previously, she had never been a homeroom teacher, and she was not very popular. One year, she even experienced a bad reputation being damaged. So, for Haihara, she really rarely had a deep emotional connection with her students.

When Haihara very unwilling.

What happened next made her have an even worse impression of certain Problem Child in the class.

But why?

"Indeed... it's a bit disappointing."

Haihara lowered her head, stroking Luna's head, her eyes filled with a mixture of emotion and disappointment.

After looking at her for a while, the puppy Luna seemed to want to say something, but only let out a howling sound before lazily lying down and silently enjoying the petting.

Outside the window, snow gradually turned the city white.

You'll probably see similar scenes in almost any corner of the city.

Perhaps not expecting such a reaction to the topic, Suzuki then talked about other things.

[Oh, right, Haihara.]

"Um."

Do you remember the girl from the sister's family I mentioned?

Haihara does remember.

It seems like she has some psychological issues. She was planning to transfer to a school in this city, and currently appears to be living alone.

Ms. Suzuki would occasionally mention that child.

Just as Haihara was wondering why Ms. Suzuki would bring this up, she heard Ms. Suzuki say on the phone:

I'd like to take her to a museum in the city in a while. Could you come with me?

At home, Kirishima Ai is looking at her phone.

In this cold winter, Kirishima Ai didn't really want to work, so she took a break this weekend and stayed home.

Recently, the well-known entertainment company, Dream Society, in Maple Plain City has launched a series of events.

For example, the museum in Maple Plain City will be opened to the public after a period of time.

On the other hand, the company has recently launched a lot of Magic girl merchandise.

For example, the latest and trendiest Magic girl Fate Kite kit from FRS.

However, after glancing at the price, Kirishima Ai's face fell.

"So expensive..."

Why is it so expensive?

Wouldn't that mean they couldn't even afford the Magic girl Fate Kite herself?

Furthermore, why are the beam blade and light wing effect parts sold separately from the main unit?

When she's fighting, Lightwing is always there when she calls; wouldn't it be very dangerous if she weren't there?

In fact, Kirishima Ai owns a figure of Silver Feather in her own home.

She originally wanted Fate Kite and Silver Feather to be a couple.

Looks like I'll have to be more careful with my money when I'm working lately.

Thinking of this, Kirishima Ai turned off her phone and shrank further into the covers. Although she hadn't finished her homework, she felt increasingly sleepy as she lay there.

She was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

Who would call her at a time like this?

However, after seeing the caller ID, she fell silent.

After a while, she answered the phone.

Then he opened his mouth, and then somewhat awkwardly uttered a sentence:

"... Mother."

Yes, it was her mother who called her.

Lately, my mom seems to be quite busy with work, so I haven't been able to text or call her much.

However, what her mother said this time surprised her a little.

"Next week... to the museum?"

"Chihaya, aren't you coming along?"

As they talked, Kirishima Ai showed a slightly confused expression.

The museum Mom was referring to should be the one in the city center, right? It seems that it will officially start selling tickets and holding exhibitions in a while.

I remember that before the museum officially opened, she worked odd jobs there, though nominally as a volunteer.

"Is it just me and my mom? Oh, I see..."

Kirishima Ai was slightly surprised.

I always felt that it would be a little awkward if it were just her and her mother.

However, it seemed she had no way to refuse.

Looks like I need to prepare properly next week?

Chapter Thirty-One: Faded Silver Feather

On this day, Kirishima Ai finished her work as Magic girl. However, unexpectedly, when she was about to leave after restoring the scene, she was stopped by a group of citizens who looked like reporters.

She turned her head and saw a camera pointed at her, while a reporter stood to the side, holding a microphone out to her.

"Miss Fate Kite, it's a great honor to meet you. I'm a reporter from the Dream Society. Would you have time to give us an interview?"

Kirishima Ai, in her Fate Kite form, blinked.

Reporter?

This wasn't the first time she'd been interviewed by reporters. Although Magic girls usually create barriers to prevent civilians from entering during battles, there are exceptions.

Moreover, the intensity of the battles recently has been very low, and they usually end quickly, so Kirishima Ai didn't pay special attention this time.

"I do have some free time. What's the interview about this time?"

Fortunately, after transforming into a Magic girl, Kirishima Ai now has a great sense of camera presence; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she has star-level confidence.

She quickly flashed the typical energetic smile of Magic girl.

The photographer seized the opportunity and pressed the shutter button, causing the flash to go off in quick succession.

The reporter looked familiar; it seemed like this wasn't the first time I'd interviewed her.

"Well, I don't know if you've heard, but our company is about to hold an exhibition at the city's Witch Museum."

As a world-renowned entertainment and technology company, Genm Corporation' upcoming museum opening has attracted considerable attention, and promotional materials for the event can be seen in many parts of the city.

Unfortunately, Kirishima Ai also knew this.

Yes, I've heard of it.

Then, Kirishima Ai saw the reporter smile, a smile that left her feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Actually, the museum exhibition has set aside a special area to commemorate your first appearance in our city as Silver Feather, and a commemorative booklet will be given away free of charge."

"For this reason, we've launched the Magic Girl Playing Cards series, and we've also released alternate art foil cards featuring Silver Feather."

The reporter suddenly said something that Kirishima Ai hadn't expected.

Kirishima Ai genuinely taken aback and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Commemorative activities? Her?

"Huh...? But I haven't even been a Magic girl for a year yet, and there's already a commemorative event?"

Rather than commemorating her, wouldn't it be better to commemorate earlier Magic girls like Phantom Wind or Star Flower?

Like Star Flower, if you think about it carefully, it's almost been two years.

However, after thinking about it, she realized that there seemed to be quite a few of her related products recently.

"This is also the idea of our president, Cangyue. She has been paying close attention to your activities. In fact, if possible, we would like to invite you to our exhibition in person as our spokesperson."

The reporter said very enthusiastically.

In a sense, the popularity and fame of Magic girls as celebrities are completely incomparable to those of ordinary actors; they are even from completely different dimensions.

Because Magic girls are truly magical girls who appear on the television screens of ordinary citizens every day, without the need for filters or embellishment, and who are beautiful female heroes who save the city every day.

"Oh, not at all. As Magic girl, I still have many shortcomings..."

Kirishima Ai even seemed a little embarrassed by what was said.

Although it sounds like the hypocritical platitudes of a rich person, it's not impossible that the company president might actually be a fan of hers.

The reporter, however, continued to gaze at Fate Kite with enthusiasm and even offered her the microphone.

"Speaking of which, could you Fate Kite transform into your Silver Feather form, Miss Yuan, so we can take a commemorative photo?"

As he spoke, the photographer set up his camera.

Upon hearing Kirishima Ai looked down at her current Magic Gear.

Ever since her body adapted to this form, she seems to have been moving around in this form without even realizing it.

Now that the Fate Kite form can be used as a regular transformation, there seems to be no reason to use Silver Feather anymore.

At that moment, Kirishima Ai felt inexplicably lonely.

I have a feeling that I feel somewhat apologetic towards Silver Feather.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and removed the Crystal of the Silver Feather from her hair ornament.

"Then wait a moment, I'll transform into my Silver Feather form..."

With that, Kirishima Ai removed her Phoenix Crystal and Serpent Crystal, and then embedded them into the Silver Feather Crystal.

Afterwards, she plucked off her Feather Wing and prepared to transform with great skill.

But...

"... Huh?"

When the Silver Feather Crystal is embedded in the Broken Wing and the corresponding transformation is performed, neither the Magic Wand nor the Silver Feather Crystal transformation produces any reaction.

At first, I just thought I had made a mistake by not transforming into Silver Feather for so long, but how could that be?

Kirishima Ai tried several more times.

But the Magic Wand remained completely still.

The air fell silent for a moment.

"Excuse me... what is this?"

The reporter and photographer both looked confused, seemingly unsure of what Fate Kite was doing.

Ai Kirishima Ai's expression shifted from initial confusion to a growing sense of unease.

Why can't I transform?

Although there were times when I couldn't transform into the Fate Kite before my first transformation, that was probably because I couldn't control the Fate Kite's power.

What's going on now?

Thinking of this, Kirishima Ai lost all interest in responding to the reporters and hurriedly said goodbye to them.

"Sorry, I... I have something to take care of here, maybe another time for the photos."
