I, Your Teacher, Am Actually a Villainous Magical Girl

"How should I put it, middle schoolers are such a pain, but you lot are my responsibility for the time being."

Teacher Haihara was making another one of her problematic statements today.

Kirishima Ai lifted her head slightly, feeling a bit concerned about this.

That was because her younger sister also attended Kaedehara Middle School.

However, it was mostly just a name on the register; Hina's health was so frail that she spent most of her time bedridden and couldn't attend school at all.

Much like Teacher Haihara, she had no interest in this camping trip.

After all, she didn't have any close friends in class.

If only she could go with Hina this time...

"Oh, right, for this event, our class's new assistant homeroom teacher will be joining you as well."

Recently, their class had suddenly gained an assistant homeroom teacher.

That would be the new physical education teacher, Roland.

Although no one knew exactly what was going on, Roland was a beautiful girl, so the students were generally quite welcoming.

Takanashi Shiori, upon hearing this, fell into deep thought.

"That's about it. Does anyone have any questions, or is there anyone who wants to request leave?"

Haihara scanned the classroom.

No one requested leave for the moment; it seemed everyone was quite looking forward to this camping trip.

Should one say as expected of high schoolers? They were truly full of energy.

"Before school ends this afternoon, you can think about what kind of programs you want to have for the camping trip. Once you've decided, you can tell Kageyama, and I'll compile the list."

Kageyama was the class monitor of Class Four.

"Alright, you lot continue with your self-study. I'm off to a meeting."

It is worth mentioning that recently, Haihara's work environment had undergone some slight changes.

Because the class had an extra assistant homeroom teacher, the office that used to belong only to her occasionally had other people visiting, and she had to pull out an extra chair for them.

Yes, that little girl named Roland was always running over to her office.

At first, she felt a bit uncomfortable, as she was used to quiet and being alone.

But eventually, she got used to it.

In the past, she barely had any interactions with her fellow teachers outside of work, and she ate lunch by herself, but things were a bit different now.

After the meeting, Haihara still had to coordinate the camping activities with Roland, and the location for their discussion was, of course, her office.

"Teacher Haihara, I think this test of courage program is very interesting. Why don't we play that that night?"

Although she was suspected to be a Magical Girl native to R'lyeh, Roland had integrated into modern life unexpectedly well and possessed plenty of common sense. At the very least, aside from her appearance, Haihara felt she was just an ordinary high school teacher.

"Hmm..."

Speaking of a test of courage, Haihara had basically never played such a thing, as no one had ever taken her to play one while she was growing up.

But upon closer reflection, the memories of that Magical Girl did contain content regarding tests of courage.

That mysterious Magical Girl had once been an instructor at the Magic Academy and had also taken students to play similar games.

In her memory, such games were very popular in R'lyeh.

However, the way they played seemed to involve confiscating the Magical Girls' magic tools and then sending a Monster to hunt them down.

The students who had played it all said it was thrilling.

"Teacher?"

Roland noticed that Haihara seemed to be spacing out.

Upon hearing Roland's melodious voice, Haihara did not react immediately; instead, more images surfaced in her mind.

In her memories... there seemed to be a voice like this, calling her "Teacher."

Haihara suddenly looked at Roland:

"I'm telling you."

"Hmm?"

"Aren't you leaning in a bit too close?"

Without her realizing it, Roland had already moved to her shoulder, her cheek gently pressed against the side of her neck; she could kiss her just by turning her head.

Roland, hearing this, looked puzzled and moved even closer, her lips brushing against Haihara's ear:

"My apologies, I was just worried you wouldn't be able to hear me clearly."

As she spoke respectfully, she carefully inched closer and closer, as if she couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"I'm not deaf, there's no need for that."

Teacher Haihara said casually.

If it had been someone she wasn't very close with, she probably would have chased them away with a cold tone.

However, unexpectedly, she didn't really dislike this little girl named Roland.

There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

So, even though she was a bit overly intimate, she didn't mind much; it felt like something she was used to.

"Speaking of which, are you getting used to teaching here?"

After they had finished talking about the camping trip, Teacher Haihara brought this up casually.

Roland taught physical education.

Physical education at Kaedehara High School was separated by gender, but even so, Roland didn't look like the type who could teach girls' PE.

"Mm, I'm very used to it, though the stamina of these students is still a bit outrageous. They really should exercise more."

Roland said with a smile.

Teacher Haihara had forgotten that Roland was a Magical Girl.

And not just an ordinary Magical Girl, either.

If one were to talk about physical purity, she would probably at least have stats in the late-stage EA-Series.

"By the way, do you have some kind of conflict with the principal?"

Thinking back to the situation during the meeting earlier, Teacher Haihara suddenly asked.

The principal had also attended today's meeting.

The principal of Kaedehara High School was a young and promising woman; although she was called young, she was actually nearly forty years old.

But looking only at her appearance, she was just a charming beauty under thirty with a mature temperament.

And coincidentally, the principal's surname was also Haihara.

Although the two of them had no relation to each other.

"Why would you think that?"

"How should I put it... it felt strange when the two of you looked at each other."

During the meeting today, Teacher Haihara noticed that the principal and Roland seemed to exchange glances, and then the atmosphere became somewhat odd.

"That must be your imagination."

Roland maintained her elegant and refined smile, adjusting her beautiful monocle.

"On the contrary, why would the principal be dissatisfied with you?"

"It doesn't count as dissatisfaction."

That woman just liked to use such things to make things difficult for her.

Although Teacher Haihara was very annoyed, she didn't want to lose her job.

"It's probably because the class attendance rate has been poor lately; those problem children are the same as always."

Teacher Haihara sighed, feeling a bit tired.

When would she finally be able to get these Magical Girls to stay in the classroom and attend lessons obediently?

Roland showed an expression of regret and pity—

"Some students nowadays really don't know how to be considerate of their teachers. Teacher Haihara, you must be having a hard time, right?"

As she spoke, she gently took Teacher Haihara's hand and began to stroke it slowly.

"It is quite hard."

Teacher Haihara hadn't yet noticed that this young girl had been stroking her hand the whole time.

Roland had leaned in close to Teacher Haihara's ear at some point, breathing softly, her cheeks slightly flushed:

"When I was a student, I was very respectful to my teachers, you know."

"To reward you, how about I treat you to a drink this weekend? Let me properly care for and cherish you, Teacher."

So said Roland, the most considerate and respectful student Teacher Haihara had ever known.

Chapter 47: Now, It's Fantasy Time

The location chosen for their weekend drinks was a bar with a great atmosphere, which was a bit unexpected for Teacher Haihara, as she had assumed that with Roland's style, she would choose some expensive, high-end restaurant rather than this kind of place for ordinary people to drink.

However, based on how they had been getting along these past few days, Miss Roland seemed to simply like gemstones and had no interest in other luxury goods.

She would drink cheap but delicious shochu, and her favorite snack was konjac.

Teacher Haihara actually quite liked the atmosphere of this bar; there weren't many people, and it wasn't noisy.

"What should I order..."

Looking at the menu, Teacher Haihara began to ponder.

Today, Miss Roland was treating, so she could order whatever she wanted.

Watching Haihara lower her head in thought, Roland rested her chin on her hands, watching with a beaming smile.

"Please, Teacher, order whatever you like, don't hold back."

"Even if you get drunk, Teacher, I'll take responsibility and see you home."

Roland wasn't dressed in her school attire today; she wore a very loose white shirt that revealed her slender waist, paired with a black skirt that leaned toward a more androgynous style.

Compared to before, she perhaps felt a bit more mature.

"You're surprisingly kind."

Haihara was a little surprised.

After a while, Haihara finished ordering her drinks, though she hadn't yet decided what to eat.

Usually, she would probably just order something like fried chicken.

She didn't know what Roland liked to eat.

She looked at the menu for a moment:

"Do you eat tofu? It looks like they have chilled tofu here?"

When she saw the tofu on the menu, for some reason, she suddenly felt like ordering it.

"Hm?"

"Tofu, it sounds quite delicious."

At first, a hint of confusion flickered across Roland's expression, but it seemed to be just an illusion, as she quickly returned to her previous smile.

"Sure."

They ordered the tofu, the fried chicken, and some snacks like french fries.

While they waited, the two of them barely spoke, likely because they weren't very familiar with each other and didn't have any common topics to discuss.
