Chapter 341

But why?

Dark Feather looked so aggrieved she was about to cry.

She slept soundly this time and didn't make any unwanted advances. Even if she had the desire, she didn't have the guts.

Until she noticed that Haihara- san's posture was a little... off?

Haihara's legs were being pulled by a mischievous tail, making her look like she was tied up and spread apart, while the rest of the scenery was directed towards her.

Although her expression remained the same as usual.

But this...

"Gurgle..."

For a moment, Dark Feather didn't know where to look.

This is too much...

It's keeping me awake.

After a while, she realized something was wrong.

"Wait, how did I transform?"

Dark Feather was also puzzled to find that he had now become Dark Feather.

She remembered that the Fallen Heaven wasn't by her side right now, and she didn't have the habit of transforming while sleeping.

The next moment---

"---Smack!"

Dark Feather let out another scream.

"Put your tail back in, or you'll be putting ointment on your own ass tonight."

Haihara once again ruthlessly destroyed a beautiful woman.

Dark Feather never expected that after clearing his name and starting anew, he would be able to relive this kind of scene again.

She quickly retracted her little tail, carefully hiding it back inside her skirt, then fearfully covered her skirt, afraid that she would be beaten by Haihara- san again.

How could it have turned out like this?

She was already upset enough by having nightmares tonight.

I even got a spanking.

It caused both mental and physical harm.

Although there was a double enjoyment involved... it still couldn't lessen the harm she suffered.

After a while, this awkward yet heart-pounding scene ended, and Dark Feather, who had inexplicably transformed, sat up on the bed, pitifully stroking her restless little tail.

Haihara straightened her clothes, yawning slightly as she recovered from the drowsiness of just waking up.

After a while, the two were finally able to communicate normally again.

"I'm sorry, Miss Haihara, I don't know why I suddenly transformed, and why I did such a thing... I didn't mean to."

Dark Feather, clearly wanting to survive, clasped his hands together in apology.

Haihara wasn't that petty; of course, she didn't care as long as the other person didn't continue to disturb her sleep.

However, the current situation is undoubtedly a bit strange.

Just now, Dark Feather summoned Fallen Heaven and discovered that Dark Feather Crystal had automatically summoned and transformed upon it.

Previously, Dark Feather Crystal did not have the function of automatic transformation.

We can't let it become Magic haunted like the Silver Feather Crystal.

"Alright, don't worry, we're even now anyway. Just turn off the transformation and go back to sleep."

I have to go to school tomorrow.

Dark Feather a sigh of relief, feeling reassured.

However, she then lowered her head and glanced at her long-unseen Dark Feather Magic Gear.

There's something that's actually a bit concerning.

That is, when she uses the Dark Feather Crystal to transform, there is no change.

Same as before in the Sacred Domain.

Previously, she had always used dual- Crystal transformations like Fate Kite and Fang, so she hadn't paid much attention. But in fact, Dark Feather Crystal itself hadn't shown any Sacred Domain characteristics after its advancement.

It is still the same now.

Unlike when Phantom Wind advanced, her appearance and Magic Gear attire did not change.

It doesn't affect her fighting ability, though...

Thinking of this, she bit her little tail, feeling quite nostalgic and sentimental.

--Ever since she transformed into Dark Kite, her tail has become a dragon's tail, covered in thorns, only good for stabbing people, and it's not cute at all anymore.

After the remembrance ended, she removed the Crystal and deactivated her transformation.

Even after the transformation was reversed, the pain lingered in her body; her buttocks still felt slightly burning.

But on the other hand, she was more troubled.

Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep.

After all that commotion, both of them were exhausted and in a daze. They might not even remember doing such a thing the night before when they woke up the next morning.

As for the nightmare from not long ago, I've almost forgotten about it now.

In fact, Kuroki Yuka is probably the biggest fan at Magic Girl Center.

The sleepy girl seemed to have forgotten her affectation. Lying on the bed, she unconsciously leaned closer to Haihara, snuggling up to her side.

Seeing her like this, Haihara, who was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, felt a little helpless.

After thinking for a moment, Haihara stretched out an arm and put it around the girl's shoulder, gently stroking her hair.

Haihara stared at the girl who had closed her eyes again, drowsily contemplating that she would probably be sleep-deprived during the day because of school.

This is really a headache.

This unexpected transformation during the night was temporarily buried by a deep sense of drowsiness.

And outside, in the night sky above the city.

There was a floating, eerie green, Scythe- shaped phantom, seemingly confused as to whether it had sensed something wrong. It couldn't find the same kind of aura it had originally sensed, and eventually had to give up.

In an instant, that faint light vanished into the night.

It became a brief, perhaps unnoticed, little interlude in this winter.

Chapter 117 Making a Christmas Wish

When Kuroki Yuka woke up the next morning, she had completely forgotten the nightmare from the previous night and felt refreshed.

However, when she arrived at school and entered her classroom, she discovered that the other Magic girls were all noticeably listless, looking like they hadn't slept well and were feeling dejected and downcast.

She was a little surprised.

Did they also have nightmares?

Kuroki Yuka's doubts remained unanswered. However, for the Magic girls currently in the classroom, what they wanted most right now was to see Teacher Haihara as soon as possible so they could feel at ease.

The girls only breathed a sigh of relief after the woman, dressed in a suit, walked into the classroom as she did every morning and greeted all the students.

However, this alone doesn't seem to be enough to shake off the shadow of last night's nightmare.

Early in the morning, apart from the Magic girls, all the other students seemed exceptionally excited.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and the day after tomorrow is Christmas Day.

Those of them who are already living a fulfilling life have already planned how to spend the next two days, and today's boring day of classes is naturally making it hard to contain their excitement.

However, as teachers, we always have to dampen the students' spirits a little.

Haihara coughed twice:

"Quiet down first."

The classroom suddenly became much quieter.

Their homeroom teacher never raised his voice, but every time he spoke, it carried great weight.

After all, Teacher Haihara wouldn't waste her breath on her students unless absolutely necessary.

Unfortunately, she didn't bring good news this morning.

"Unfortunately, the day after tomorrow, which is Christmas Day, will be a make-up exam for the senior students on Monday morning because the school needs to set up exam venues for them."

"Don't forget to come to school then!"

In short, schools are in session on Christmas morning.

Kaedehara High School may have many inexplicable holidays and activities, but it is still a high school that prepares students for higher education.

Its learning tasks are actually quite demanding.

Soon, a chorus of groans and complaints filled the classroom, and these sounds not only came from Haihara's classroom but also from other classrooms in the corridor.

This was an expected reaction.

Haihara certainly didn't want her vacation to suddenly be shortened by half a day, but as her homeroom teacher, there was nothing she could do.

"Oh, right."

There's one more thing.

She looked up and glanced at the students in the classroom.

"With the end of the semester approaching, as is customary, the school has a traditional event, although this tradition has only been around for the last two years."

"In a little while, I'll give everyone a small tag where they can write down their Christmas wishes and desired gifts, and hang it on our class's Christmas tree."

The school assigned each class a tree from the schoolyard to serve as a Christmas tree.

Actually, this event is mainly for senior high school students.

But since it's a blessing and auspicious omen anyway, let's just have the first and second year high school students do it too.

Next, Haihara took a bag out of her purse, which was filled with colorful paper tags.

She handed out name tags to each student in the class one by one.

While posting, she never forgot her persona and original intentions:

"You can just write something casually like this, it's fine not to hang it up, Santa Claus won't read it anyway, it's just an activity where the school wastes its time."

The classroom erupted in laughter.

When the food was served to Kirishima and Sakaki Chika's table, Haihara stopped and paused for a moment, because she noticed that the Problem Child those two were looking at her today was a little strange.

That's not all.

Even the little girl looked at herself strangely.

It was as if I had done something wrong.

Haihara temporarily ignored the bewildered looks she received, finished distributing the name tags, and planned to see what happened later.

And so it went until the third period of physical education class in the morning. Due to the heavy snow, the PE teacher announced free time, and Haihara took the opportunity to go out and have a look around.

Although you can see it every day, if you take the time to appreciate it, Kaedehara High School is actually quite beautiful.

Then, she looked around and, after confirming that no one was near the tree belonging to Class Four, she quietly approached the Christmas tree that was already decorated with lights and decorations.

With herself all alone, Haihara looked at the many colorful plaques hanging on the tree and began to read the text on them one by one.

She read them one by one.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, it seems she didn't find the result she was looking for...

"Teacher Haihara, what are you doing?"
