I, Your Teacher, Am Actually a Villainous Magical Girl

The three magical girls gathered at the door of Teacher Haihara's office, exchanging uneasy glances.

Although they weren't entirely sure how it had come to this, the distilled spirits they needed seemed to be inside Teacher Haihara's office.

But if they went in and Teacher Haihara happened to be there, how were they supposed to explain themselves?

And if they took the alcohol and were discovered by Teacher Haihara afterward, what would they do...

Just as they were lost in thought, a voice as graceful as a gentle breeze drifted into their ears—

"Is there something you three need here?"

The three of them turned around to see a tall, slender girl with black hair standing there, watching them calmly.

There was no doubt that this black-haired girl was the school's student council president—Kazama Kiriori.

Why would she appear here...

"Uh..." Kirishima Ai froze in place, feeling awkward, her brain spinning at high speed:

"It's like this, the three of us ran into a difficult problem with our studies and really wanted to know the answer right away, so we thought we'd take this opportunity to ask Teacher Haihara."

This excuse wasn't very convincing.

After all, aside from her, the other two had grades that were at the very bottom of the class.

Kazama Kiriori smiled:

"Is that so? But Teacher Haihara is a Japanese literature teacher, isn't she? What kind of problem could it be?"

It seemed the ruse had failed.

Kirishima Ai quickly thought of a more suitable excuse and changed her tune:

"No... actually, the three of us are very close, and we wanted to ask about our seating arrangements."

This excuse was passable enough.

Kazama Kiriori didn't answer immediately, instead looking at Takanashi Shiori, and incidentally at the small magic wand and mirror in Takanashi Shiori's hands.

Takanashi Shiori looked down at the items in her hands, then awkwardly tucked them away.

"Toys, just toys..." she explained.

"Then, if I may ask, why is the student council president here?"

Kazama Kiriori nodded:

"I also have business with Teacher Haihara. Please, let me open the door."

The three girls consciously stepped aside.

President Kazama looked at them without a word, stepped forward, and opened the door, but it was deathly quiet inside; no one was there.

She wasn't in the classroom, nor was she in the office.

So, where could she have gone?

Kazama Kiriori looked back at the three girls blinking at her.

It seemed they didn't know where Teacher Haihara was either.

Although she was curious about what these three troublemakers were up to, meeting with her mother was more important right now.

"She isn't here... then please excuse me."

Kazama Kiriori closed the door again.

Before leaving, she looked at Sakaki Chika.

"Sakaki-san, are you adjusting well to the school?"

As the student council president, she still made an effort to look after students who were a bit more unique.

Sakaki Chika was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat bashfully:

"Yes, the campus is great, the teachers are great, um... the teacher is very great."

After saying that, her face inexplicably flushed red.

Kazama Kiriori found it a bit strange, but she still offered a polite smile and nodded:

"I see, that's good."

She couldn't help but feel like something was off.

Was it just her imagination?

It was probably just her overthinking things...

"That scared me. Why does that student council president always come around here?"

Kirishima Ai let out a sigh of relief.

However, they should take this opportunity to hurry into the teacher's office and see if they could find the distilled spirits needed for the summoning ritual.

They had Sakaki Chika keep watch at the door, and the other two entered the teacher's office together; having been called in for lectures so often, they were quite familiar with Teacher Haihara's office.

Whether on the desk or in the corners of the office, there was no alcohol to be found.

"Hey, isn't rummaging through the cabinets a bit much..." Kirishima Ai watched as Takanashi Shiori opened the office cabinet.

But after Takanashi Shiori pried the cabinet open, they saw it was packed to the brim with cans of alcohol.

Kirishima Ai blinked, stunned.

Are you serious...

Takanashi Shiori took out two cans of alcohol and sighed, saying:

"I'll find a way to make up for this later... It's my first time doing something like this, too."

She didn't know why the mentor needed distilled alcohol this time, either.

She didn't remember any mentors at the academy who liked to drink.

But regardless, this way, they could summon the magical girl mentor from R'lyeh to Earth.

Carefully and cautiously, she rearranged the alcohol cans in the cabinet before closing the door, trying her best to make it look like no one had been there.

Takanashi Shiori handed a can of alcohol to Kirishima Ai:

"You help me carry one too, that way we're accomplices if we get caught."

"You really are shameless..."

Kirishima Ai could only stuff the alcohol can under her jacket just like Takanashi Shiori, looking furtive and acting exactly like a thief.

Although, in reality, they were doing something just like a thief.

Still, why would Teacher Haihara have so much alcohol stashed here?

She had never smelled alcohol on her before.

In any case, they had managed to get the alcohol without incident, and now they could hold the ritual to summon that mentor from R'lyeh.

They found a relatively hidden spot, which was the dim and remote classroom where Kirishima Ai had eaten earlier.

After taking out a Magic Crystal, Takanashi Shiori used the two cans of distilled alcohol to set up the summoning ritual, placing the Magic Mirror in the center and setting the Magic Crystal upon it.

Kirishima Ai and Sakaki Chika basically had no idea what Takanashi Shiori was doing.

Soon, the Magic Crystal began to melt, turning into a glowing, crystalline liquid that seeped into the Magic Mirror.

"Now, close your eyes," Takanashi Shiori said, then immediately turned her head away.

The other two followed suit and closed their eyes.

This incredible phenomenon lasted for a moment, and the next instant, an extremely dazzling light erupted from the Magic Mirror.

Even with their eyes closed, they felt stung by the brilliant radiance.

When the light faded, the group barely managed to open their eyes, and then they saw the silhouette of an elegant and beautiful girl floating above the Magic Mirror.

Surrounding her were countless starlike lights that slowly descended like dust, embedding themselves one by one into the girl's illusory, layered attire.

"Oh, it really is excellent wine, well done, little Shiori."

It was a gentle and graceful voice, possessing both the charm of maturity and youth, as mellow and sweet as red wine.

As the light dispersed, the others could clearly see the girl's appearance.

She was a girl dressed in a somewhat classical and elegant style, though not entirely.

She wore a wide, heavy men's white dress suit, the hem extending to her ankles, the silvery-white garment adorned with countless brilliant, star-like gems, yet her two fair, slender legs were left bare.

The girl combed her silvery-white hair back, tying it into two low ponytails at the ends.

Upon seeing this summoned magical girl, Takanashi Shiori froze, staring at her in disbelief:

"You... you are..."

"What's wrong, are you surprised to see me, little Shiori?"

The girl in the gentleman's attire lightly stroked the golden monocle over her left eye.

She had a pair of heterochromatic eyes; the right was dark gold, while the left appeared as a dull, lusterless silver-white.

"Dean Eldritch... why would it be you who came?"

Takanashi Shiori was so frightened that her face turned pale.

The magical girl before her was adorned with all kinds of gems, extremely luxurious and flamboyant, yet on her, it appeared elegant and perfectly fitting.

She was by no means an ordinary mentor.

She was a Grand Duke personally appointed by Her Majesty the Queen, the Dean of Moon Academy, an existence beyond the Sanctuary, a Sage of Gem Magic, a magical girl who stood above all others save for one.

Lord Gemstone—Roland Eldritch.

Dean Roland just hugged the alcohol can happily and smiled:

"I just thought something very interesting would happen."

"Besides, this alcohol can seems to have a rather intoxicating scent to it."

Chapter 28 Teacher Lilith

Although I don't know what to make of Takanashi Shiori's reaction, it seems a truly formidable figure has arrived this time.

Kirishima Ai looked at the magical girl who had appeared before them, sensing an indescribable and overwhelming aura; no previous magical girl or monster had ever given her a feeling like this.

Is this a mentor from the Magic Academy?

The magical girl known as Dean Eldritch then looked toward Kirishima Ai and Sakaki Chika:

"You two must be the magical girls of the human world. You may call me Roland."

"As you can see, what I love most are brilliant gemstones, which is why I am also known as Lord Gemstone."

Roland smiled, her posture resembling that of an opera singer—elegant, yet with an indescribable touch of flamboyance.

"Hello..."

Kirishima Ai greeted her, feeling a bit at a loss.

Upon hearing Roland's words, Sakaki Chika wore a thoughtful expression:

"Lord Gemstone... I think my grandmother mentioned that name to me."

Kirishima Ai and Takanashi Shiori looked at Sakaki Chika.

Roland also looked at her with curiosity:

"And who might your grandmother be?"

Kirishima Ai remembered Takanashi Shiori mentioning before that Sakaki Chika might be the descendant of a magical girl who had once remained on Earth.

So, it was her grandmother?

"Her name is Tachibana Aeru. When she used to tell me fairy tales in the past, she mentioned your name."

The name Sakaki Chika mentioned took both Kirishima Ai and Takanashi Shiori by surprise.

After all, her own stage name as an idol was Tachibana Aeruru.
