Chapter 331
A father's responsibility and love triumphed over a child's willfulness and enthusiasm.
This made Kazama wonder: if her mother lost her memory and became like this, how could she awaken her?
To respect the original work, perhaps she should have taken one of her mother's stockings as well.
Just kidding.
She asked Haihara this question.
"It's very simple."
Haihara answered calmly.
Kazama Kiriori was naturally very curious:
What should I do?
Haihara pointed to her cheek, as if indicating something.
"Just a kiss here will do."
Haihara continued to coax the child as before, and Kazama Kiriori quickly followed suit, kissing Haihara's cheek.
In the end, Shin-chan's family defeats the villains and continues to face their new life.
The past is the past.
Children will eventually grow up to be adults.
Even if the past is worth cherishing, let it remain only in the past.
After the movie ended, Haihara pulled the blanket up to cover most of her body and then leaned against Kazama Kiriori.
Kazama Kiriori pulled the blanket she shared with Haihara, feeling the warmth emanating from her mother.
The two decided to just go to sleep there for the night.
The two women nestled together in the dimly lit living room, covered by the same blanket, their eyes closed, seemingly quite at ease.
With each other's body heat, the two felt peaceful and content tonight.
Haihara, after a long time, felt incredibly sleepy, as if she were about to dream.
She murmured something softly, while anxiously stroking Kazama Kiriori, who was sleeping beside her. It was unclear whether she was already asleep or just murmuring in her sleep.
"Do not leave Me..."
Chapter 110 The Round of Stars Within Stars
After the chaos caused by Belial ended, the popularity of the Magic girls in Maple Plain City rose once again in R'lyeh. Now, there are discussions about these Magic girls in many sections of the R'lyeh Magic Web.
In fact, several years ago, during the period when Magic girl Phantom Wind was active, a small group of Magic girls were already paying close attention to Phantom Wind's activities.
Some even compared her to the Moon Academy Chief at the time, believing that although Phantom Wind was an Earth Magic girl, she was undoubtedly the most talented and promising Magic girl of the contemporary era.
After that, Phantom Wind and Color Feather disappeared without a trace until a series of recent events brought them back into the public eye.
Right now, a Magic girl is spying on the screen, searching intensely on her own.
---She is Ms. Takanashi, the person who transforms into the Magic girl Thousand Sins.
"Let me see what they said today..."
As Takanashi spoke, he used his Magic Power to browse through the Maple Plain City section of the R'lyeh Magic Web.
Then she saw the first few very eye-catching posts.
"The most rigorous combat power ranking of Magic girls and Monster in Maple Plain City, officially certified, Dark Kite will definitely annihilate Fate Kite."
First and foremost is the daily challenge of fighting beasts.
"I'm Phantom Wind's dog. Doesn't anyone think that Phantom Wind is the hottest Magic girl in Maple Plain City?"
"Among all the Magic Gear by Magic girls in Maple Plain City, whose shoes are the least breathable..."
Takanashi suddenly looked like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
She quickly blocked all topics related to "feet" to avoid hurting her feelings.
Can't we have some normal posts?
She frowned as she scrolled through one absurd post after another, trying to find one that was more normal or interesting. Then, she did find a relatively normal post.
It's a post asking for help.
"It seems like Ailulu- chan is having a big solo concert soon. Does anyone know how to apply to go to Earth and get concert tickets in Magic Girl R'lyeh?"
It's about my idol classmate.
Takanashi blinked.
It's surprising that R'lyeh would have fans of her idol classmate. Generally speaking, it seems that very few Magic girls like R'lyeh would like someone like Sakaki Chika.
It's not that they're not cute or lovable.
It's just that everyone prefers the kind of person the student council president or Cangyue Yuri.
She continued reading.
"Why doesn't Star Flower- chan have a new form yet? She's clearly at least a second-ranked Magic girl! Please, I want to see Star Flower- chan's new Magic Gear! #crying"
The Takanashi paused here for a while.
She pinched her chin.
Come to think of it... that makes sense.
Lately, it seems that my idol is finding it increasingly difficult to keep up in the battles.
Just like I used to be.
You can't do any damage to Monster; they'll fall to the ground with their mouths open and eyes closed if they get even a slight touch from an enemy attack. When everyone's in a group, you can only clear out mobs or repair the floor.
She knew very well that it must be quite unpleasant, although she didn't know what her idol was thinking.
Normally, it seems like my idol is busier with her work and studies at school.
When Takanashi was bored and wanted to chat with his other companions, he suddenly noticed that everyone around him was discussing something enthusiastically, as if they were looking forward to it.
So she also lifted her chin and looked at the group of enthusiastic people.
The reason they seem so excited is probably because Christmas is just around the corner?
This is a very popular holiday.
In R'lyeh, although no one deliberately celebrates this Earth festival, according to senior Magic girls from R'lyeh who have been to Earth, Magic girls always encounter unusual things on this festival.
That's something to look forward to.
Generally, people would invite popular people or someone they like to go out on such holidays and then give gifts.
Like an idol classmate.
They are now completely surrounded.
Although she received invitations, it was clear that Takanashi hadn't accepted any of them...
"Well..."
The girl sighed softly, a rare hint of melancholy in her voice.
She rested her chin on her hand, looking out the window with a listless expression, as if she had something on her mind.
Just then, a sweet, girlish voice reached her ears:
"Why are you sighing? Did you ask someone out on Christmas and get rejected?"
Although it's a very pleasant female voice, it's somewhat frivolous.
When the Takanashi turned its head, it saw a smiling girl wearing a black bow.
Her eyes immediately turned dead.
"That's none of your business... Kuroki Yuka."
Beside her stood Kuroki Yuka, the former Black Magical Girl.
However, she is currently wearing the uniform of Kaedehara High School.
Not long ago, this guy suddenly transferred to their class and became their classmate.
The number of hidden Magic girls in the class has officially increased to four.
"Was I right?"
Kuroki Yuka immediately looked smug.
After getting to know her, I realized that this girl was the kind of person who could be very annoying.
"I didn't... Never mind, so what?"
Perhaps realizing that there was no point in arguing, Takanashi simply skipped the topic and instead asked Kuroki Yuka in front of her.
Although their impression of Kuroki Yuka was limited to her being Black Magical Girl, she was also a shut-in otaku.
But unexpectedly...
After arriving in their class, this guy... was quite popular.
"Hmm, I received quite a few invitations, and many people said they would give me gifts that day. This is the life of a social butterfly!"
Kuroki Yuka a "V" sign.
In fact, there is a lot of discussion at school about the new transfer student Kuroki Yuka.
Most people's impression of her is that of a rich girl from an elite girls' school, and as cute as Kirishima Ai, yet approachable.
Yes.
This woman is a very sociable and popular person.
"So, I suppose no one rejected your Christmas date invitation?"
Takanashi rested his chin on his hands and said calmly.
Then, she raised her eyes and observed Kuroki Yuka's reaction.
"..."
Suddenly, Kuroki Yuka fell silent.
After glancing at each other and their eyes meeting, the two seemed to realize something.
Then they all fell into a deeper silence.
Kuroki Yuka to her lazy, slumped-over state, slumped dejectedly onto the table, and said---
"Actually... I don't think I have any hope of success, so I haven't even started asking yet."
Her tone was much less confident than before.
Seeing this, Takanashi didn't hold back in criticizing her:
"Coward."
It seems the two of them have similar ideas.
Having learned about Takanashi for Earth's holidays beforehand, I'm naturally very interested in Christmas.
She had been thinking about what to give as a Christmas gift for a month in advance.
If possible, it would be even better to invite them on a Christmas date.
Unfortunately, this time... she was rejected.
Even the Takanashi unconsciously lowered its head.
It's impossible not to feel frustrated.
The reason given for the rejection was that he already had plans; that is, there was someone else more suitable than himself who would be dating that woman on that day.
It's truly infuriating.
Takanashi rubbed his face repeatedly until it became deformed with resentment.
Just then, Kuroki Yuka noticed the booklet on Takanashi's table.
