Chapter 332

"Huh? Don't you never study? What's the purpose of this notebook?"

Kuroki Yuka had never heard that Takanashi, the most hopeless student in the class, could take notes.

It even has a picture of Magical Puppy drawn on it.

This pile of scribbles and R'lyeh's writing were clearly beyond her comprehension.

"I can't understand R'lyeh's language."

She frowned.

Takanashi covered up the Magical Puppy in the booklet, which had a silly cat-like drawing style, and snorted, saying:

"I'm just piecing together some clues."

"Clue?"

Kuroki Yuka blinked curiously.

"Um."

Takanashi opened the booklet, revealing a page with a drawing of a Scythe- shaped, intricately detailed, and ethereal Magic Wand.

Takanashi's sketching skills are actually quite good.

In R'lyeh Kindergarten's Sunflower Class, her sketching skills and talent have always amazed her art teacher.

"This is probably the most important mission I've ever undertaken on Earth. Although I didn't have high hopes for it initially, recently... there have been more and more signs and clues that have made me start paying attention to its existence."

She said.

The object depicted in the painting is none other than the Magic Armament once possessed by the Overlord.

This was also one of her missions in coming to R'lyeh.

If you find this, you can graduate from R'lyeh Magic Academy with a perfect GPA, although that's not the point.

Seeing that Kuroki Yuka recognize the object, Takanashi explained it to her.

"Oh... I see."

Kuroki Yuka suddenly realized.

"But, the Overlord's Magic Armament, isn't that...?"

She suddenly seemed to remember something and began to mutter to herself, which left Takanashi looking puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"No... it's nothing."

After seeing that Kuroki Yuka had nothing constructive to say, Takanashi did not press the matter further.

Kuroki Yuka, became even more curious and pressed for details on what had happened.

Considering Kuroki Yuka's past record as a Black Magical Girl, Takanashi couldn't help but wonder if this guy was reliable and trustworthy.

"Haven't there been a lot of strange urban legends appearing in the city lately?"

"Some Monster have also become very strange."

This happened frequently throughout the city after they defeated Belial.

It wouldn't be quite right to say that, like before, a group of strange and difficult-to-fight Monster suddenly appeared.

But something just doesn't feel right.

Also, regarding the incident where Cangyue Yuri was turned into a dog, the truth about who turned her into Magical Puppy remains unknown.

Yes, there are many other clues that they have, but cannot yet connect.

Just as she was about to say something, Takanashi suddenly felt a buzzing sound in her mind that she couldn't understand.

Things always happen very suddenly.

Just as she was having a good chat with Kuroki Yuka, a sudden accident disrupted their rhythm.

She instinctively covered her head.

It sounded like someone was calling her.

Lately, she has often had this feeling, especially in her dreams.

If it were just strange noises in my head, that would be fine...

But this time, something even more unexpected happened.

Her Magic Armament, the Imperial Key, began to glow on its own, something that had never happened before.

---An unexpected situation suddenly arose.

Takanashi's expression changed instantly, and she frantically covered the golden, glowing cross she was wearing around her neck with her hand.

However, the shine on her hands was still unavoidable.

She unconsciously let out a sound--

"Ah?"

What's going on?

This is a school.

If someone notices, I'm doomed.

The Takanashi looked around, trying to find a place where no one would notice it and hide so it wouldn't be discovered.

Kuroki Yuka was standing nearby, was also dumbfounded when she suddenly saw this scene.

The two of them worked together seamlessly at that moment. Kuroki Yuka stood up to cover for Takanashi, while Takanashi secretly slipped out through the back door.

No one should have noticed it yet.

Even after the two of them reached a secluded spot, Takanashi's cross continued to glow.

"That's strange... why did it suddenly..."

Takanashi, as R'lyeh's Magic girl, didn't understand what was going on.

However, deep down, a gut feeling told her that she should perhaps know what this meant.

It was telling itself to hurry and look for something.

Perhaps there is something connected to the Imperial Key caused it to resonate with it.

She herself was attracted to him because of some certain quality.

That's strange.

"So, what's going on here?"

Kuroki Yuka asked curiously.

Just then, a signal from the Doctor came through the device worn by Takanashi.

However, it's not entirely a sign of someone being Monster.

This means that something has suddenly happened in the city that requires the Magic girl to handle.

Considering her current situation, Takanashi felt it necessary to take matters into her own hands.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and saw Kuroki Yuka looking very interested. After pondering for a moment, she tentatively asked:

"How about... we go take a look together?"

While everyone else was still discussing how to spend Christmas and who to spend it with, Sakaki Chika had just escaped the crowd and questions from her classmates and walked out of the classroom.

She pondered the many topics about Christmas that had just been discussed, her expression slightly complicated and thoughtful.

She walked out of the classroom looking for someone.

It's lunch break now, and the person she's looking for is usually in the office at this time.

With her head down, she walked quickly and quietly down the school corridor, trying not to attract attention. However, it was inevitable that some people would notice her. Sakaki Chika would politely respond and then hurry past.

She felt slightly uneasy and nervous as she walked to the office door.

Then, she knocked on the office door.

After a series of footsteps, the office door was opened by a languid, tall woman. As she looked down, she saw a nervous-looking Sakaki Chika.

Haihara is not wearing glasses now.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and after a while, her dark eyes looked at Sakaki Chika at the door again, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Haihara was taking a nap just now.

"Sakaki-kun, is there something you need?"

After a moment of preparation, Sakaki Chika mustered her courage and revealed the purpose of her visit to the woman.

"Teacher, for Christmas, could we meet at that restaurant we went to last time... um..."

Sakaki Chika was only halfway through her sentence when Haihara felt her heart stop. She immediately reached out and covered the idol's mouth, causing the idol to groan in confusion.

Haihara hadn't felt this sense of relief in a long time.

She held up a hand to her lips in a shushing gesture, then pulled the student who was talking nonsense at the office door inside.

Sakaki Chika realized at that moment that she had been too nervous, her mind went blank, and she almost blurted out what she was going to say in private at the office door.

After confirming that the office door was closed and no one could hear her, she turned her attention back to her idol.

At this moment, Haihara was wide awake. She found her incredibly unfashionable glasses on the table and put them on.

"Let me hear what you just said about Christmas."

Chapter 111 Preparations for the Date

After pulling her idol into her office, Haihara began to wonder how many people had asked her out for Christmas recently.

Unfortunately, Haihara's energy is limited. No matter how you divide Christmas Day, there are only 24 hours left. If you really want to, you can spare the eve of Christmas.

As for Christmas Day, she will probably be with Kougami and Kazama.

She rejected almost everything else.

Right now, in the office, Haihara is stirring her freshly brewed instant coffee with her little spoon.

The coffee emitted a sweet, warm aroma.

"You can tell me now."

Just now, at the door, Sakaki Chika suddenly said something about inviting her to dinner at a restaurant, Haihara almost had a heart attack.

There shouldn't be anything going on in the office, though.

She and her adopted daughter had verified this multiple times.

Sakaki Chika sat obediently in the small chair with a backrest that Haihara had prepared for the guests, right in front of the desk.

Whenever Sakaki Chika sits down, Haihara notices that the child really is quite small.

Seemingly because her spellcasting had just been interrupted by Haihara, Sakaki Chika's speech became hesitant again. She lowered her head and spoke in a barely audible voice:

"It's... that... Christmas, can I spend it with you, teacher...?"

As she spoke, she clasped her two soft, delicate hands together, her pink fingers rubbing against each other, revealing her anticipation and nervousness.

After initially staying at her house, this young idol now occasionally says some very direct and bold things.

Haihara clearly looked troubled.

She brought the coffee cup to her lips, feeling the steam as she pondered.

"I had an appointment that day..."

For some reason, Haihara couldn't bring herself to coldly reject this bunny-like girl as she usually did with the Problem Child.

This wasn't the first time Haihara had rejected Sakaki Chika in this regard.

But this time, Sakaki Chika seemed unusually disappointed.

Haihara even felt a little ashamed and wondered if she had done something wrong.
