I Am Actually a Villainous Magical Girl, Teacher

She whispered.

"..."

Haihara did not know why this group of young girls always liked to run over at night and hug her waist.

However... could this be considered them coming to her to act spoiled?

Fine, just for tonight.

Haihara gently hugged her back and said calmly and gently:

"Alright, good night."

"Mmm... Cyclone... Joker... Henshin..."

The student council president of Kaedehara High School, Kazama Kiriori, was sleeping while hugging her dog plushie again today, muttering indistinct dream talk.

As she slept, perhaps she caught a bit of a chill, so she woke up in the middle of the night and rubbed her eyes.

Looking at the empty, deserted room besides herself, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

Suddenly, she sneezed.

"Achoo..."

The young girl slowly rose from her blankets, letting out a soft huff, her black hair lazily disheveled, a few strands gently sticking to her fair skin, while her long, beautiful eyes still held a trace of sleepiness and haze.

Hmm... did she not cover herself well?

No, no, no...

Kazama Kiriori blinked her sleepy eyes, still a bit dazed, but according to a young girl's intuition, this must mean someone was missing her.

Yes... Mom must miss her very much too.

She had made up her mind; when this weekend came, she would sneak home and give her mommy a surprise!

"Good night..."

Kazama Kiriori tucked herself in and began her fantasy time for the night.

Chapter 26 Magical Girls

"You were so dejected yesterday, why are you so happy today?"

Kirishima Ai looked at Sakaki Chika, who had been giggling foolishly, with some confusion.

It was hard to describe the current state of this little idol, and it seemed like she was constantly looking at someone, just like a young girl deeply in love.

Sakaki Chika was stunned for a moment, then shyly covered her face:

"Is... is that so?"

"It is, you're just like a girl in love."

"Ehehe..." Sakaki Chika started giggling foolishly again.

Kirishima Ai was instantly bewildered.

"You... you're hopeless."

Just as the two of them were talking, two arms suddenly wrapped around them respectively. Kirishima Ai and Sakaki Chika turned their heads and saw Takanashi Shiori leaning in.

Kirishima Ai looked at her in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

Takanashi Shiori revealed a rare, excited expression. She pulled out an elegant and exquisite mirror from somewhere, looking like a prop from a fairy tale movie.

The mirror was emitting light, but it did not reflect a human face; instead, it reflected a vague, chaotic blur.

"This is..." Sakaki Chika and Kirishima Ai both looked at the glowing mirror with curiosity.

"I just re-established contact with R'lyeh. They said that in a little while, an instructor from the academy will descend to Earth to bring us some things we need!"

Takanashi Shiori said excitedly.

An instructor from the academy?

Once it sank in, Kirishima Ai and Sakaki Chika also became very curious. After all, the academy instructors were said to be magical girls far more powerful than them.

What kind of person would it be?

And, an academy instructor must be quite old, right? Could they still be called a magical girl?

"However, according to that instructor's request, it seems we need to prepare some offerings as a medium for the summoning..." Takanashi Shiori revealed a troubled expression again.

"Offerings?"

Hearing this word, Kirishima Ai had a bad feeling.

Could it be that they needed to prepare materials like those used in witchcraft rituals? It seemed the most basic ones were all kinds of insect carcasses, or perhaps live animals like chickens, cows, or sheep.

And Takanashi Shiori quickly stated the name of the offering:

"This instructor said they wanted... uh, high-proof distilled spirits?"

At this point, Takanashi Shiori also paused in surprise.

Distilled spirits? What were those?

She had never heard of such things in R'lyeh; after all, very few magical girls enjoyed drinking.

Legend had it that when Her Majesty the Queen sealed the Overlord, she had also cast a curse regarding alcohol.

Only after consuming alcohol could the Overlord recover a portion of her magic power while trapped within the seal.

"Alcohol... although it's a bit better than I imagined, where would I find distilled spirits at school? Beer would be one thing, but..."

Even if they went to a convenience store, they wouldn't be able to buy distilled spirits; Neon strictly prohibited the sale of alcohol to minors.

After thinking about it, Takanashi Shiori also felt that it seemed a bit difficult.

"Anyway, let's try to look for it first. Let me search for a spell to locate alcohol."

Takanashi Shiori pulled out that thick magic book once again and began to flip through it.

Very quickly, she found a spell related to alcohol inside.

"Ah, found it. Wine Seeking Spell. The higher the alcohol content, the stronger the resonance."

This magical girl from R'lyeh nodded with satisfaction, then took out her wand—a silver wand carved with a bird.

It felt roughly like one of those small wands from Harry Potter.

She waved the wand and channeled her magic power. A radiance bloomed at the tip, and then it began to sway on its own, pointing steadily in a certain direction.

"It actually exists?"

Takanashi Shiori looked in the direction the wand was pointing.

Today, Kazama Kiriori was busy as usual in her role as student council president.

At school, she always maintained a perfect, elegant, and gentle image, and naturally, many people admired her for it.

After finishing the discussion meeting regarding the school festival in the student council room, she had not walked far after stepping out when a girl quietly approached and blocked her path.

Kazama Kiriori was confused for a moment and looked at the girl.

"U-um, President, this is for you..."

The girl, blushing, handed her a very pretty pink envelope.

Kazama Kiriori quickly realized what this was.

Other students nearby also looked over, watching the scene with curiosity, and some began to whisper to each other.

Is it a girl this time?

Naturally, many people had confessed their feelings to President Kazama.

However, President Kazama's charm was universal; regardless of gender, many people had confessed to her, and no one found it strange.

And the outcome was always the same.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm very sorry, I cannot accept this."

Kazama Kiriori shook her head, refusing in a calm and gentle manner.

"It should be Chiba, right? I remember you. Your performance recently has been excellent as always. I wish for you to maintain that excellence in the future."

She expressed her refusal very tactfully, and the girl blushed as she took back her love letter, then asked in a small voice:

"Then, President, do you already have someone you like..."

She seemed unwilling to give up just yet.

Hearing this question, Kazama Kiriori was uncharacteristically stunned for a moment.

She pondered for a while, then revealed a rare smile:

"Yes, it's just that she is a person even more excellent than I am. If I want to be with her, I need to overcome many obstacles, so even I have to work much harder."

Hearing these words, both the girl who confessed and the other onlookers wore expressions of astonishment.

The president... that perfect President Kazama, actually already had someone she liked?

And, someone even more excellent than the president—did such a person exist?

Everyone couldn't help but be curious about who exactly the person the president liked was.

However, President Kazama soon left everyone's sight to go handle other work.

This time, she seemed to be heading toward the first-year building again.

Quite a few students noticed that President Kazama's frequency of visiting the first-year building had been a bit high lately.

What exactly was she going there for?

"Hmm-hmm-hmm~"

On the way to the first-year building, Kazama Kiriori hummed a happy little tune.

I will be able to see Mom again soon.

However, after the midterm exams, Mom seemed to have encountered some problems, and I don't know if it will affect her work.

As for those problem children in Class Four, Kazama Kiriori had heard a thing or two about them.

Of course, there wasn't much she could do, other than keeping an eye on these troublemakers to ensure they didn't do anything like what happened three years ago.

Not long after arriving at the freshman building, she still attracted many gazes.

This time, she still couldn't find Teacher Haihara in the Class Four classroom.

Kazama Kiriori felt a little happy, as this meant Teacher Haihara might be in the office.

She quickened her pace slightly and headed toward Haihara's office, but stopped after a short while.

The reason was that she saw those three problem children.

And they were all gathered at the door of Haihara's office.

They seemed to be whispering about something.

"Hey, are you sure there's really distilled liquor in there..." Kirishima Ai asked with a cold expression.

"This... this is Teacher Haihara's office, right... Is it really okay for us to go in..." Sakaki Chika didn't quite dare to enter, but she was also a bit curious.

"It should be in here, and it's the kind with a very high alcohol content too. My Wine Seeking Spell can't be wrong!" Takanashi Shiori was absolutely certain.

What were these problem children up to again?

Were they called to the office by Mom together? It didn't look like it.

Kazama Kiriori raised an eyebrow, then walked over with light steps.
