Chapter 500

Just now, Kirishima Ai noticed something again.

When Ms. Lily and Teacher Haihara hugged... it felt so similar.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Miss Lily again.

But she couldn't imagine that Teacher Haihara would stay by her side like this, listening to her words and troubles, and even humming a song with such a cute expression.

In this atmosphere, Kirishima Ai found time passing quickly, even though she was just sitting there with another person.

Today, the time spent in the Materials Room felt like a dream.

Kirishima.

In fact, quite a while had passed, and when Miss Lily suddenly called her, Kirishima Ai was still a little reluctant to leave, because she had to go back.

Each time she returned, Kirishima Ai wasn't sure if she would ever meet him again, or if she would ever have that dream again.

"Yes, I'm here."

Miss Lily seems to have something to say again.

Her gaze was slightly lowered, and it was unclear where she was looking or what she was thinking.

After considering for a moment, the woman spoke softly:

"If I'm trapped in that nightmare, unable to wake up, just like before, then you..."

"What?"

He only got halfway through his sentence before it abruptly stopped.

Kirishima Ai was a little puzzled, but patiently waited for Miss Lily to continue.

But Miss Lily didn't continue, gently shaking her head to herself.

She then smiled:

"No, it's nothing."

Have a great time at the School Festival!

Just like every time we parted, she wore a gentle and cheerful expression, free of any gloom.

Then the woman turned her head away, and their gazes no longer met, returning to being two parallel lines.

Kirishima Ai was actually a little curious about what Miss Lily was going to say next.

She lowered her head, her thoughts a jumble of emotions as she rubbed her fingers together, her palms interlaced, sometimes closing, sometimes opening.

But when she raised her head again and blinked, she felt something was missing beside her.

She looked towards the Materials Room in front of her.

The Materials Room seemed to darken suddenly; the alcohol lamp that had been lit earlier had gone out, and the drunken woman in the room had disappeared.

Kirishima Ai was left alone, stunned as if in a dream.

"..."

A slight sense of loneliness welled up inside me.

It seems my dream has come to an end.

Kirishima Ai slowly sat up, first squatting down to put the lid on the alcohol lamp, then putting the scattered items back in their original places one by one.

After patiently putting everything away, Kirishima Ai a slight sigh of relief.

Let's go back to the classroom.

Now, she thinks campus life is pretty good.

Just like when I first met Miss Lily.

Not long after stepping out of the Materials Room, Kirishima Ai saw Teacher Haihara passing by in an ordinary way.

She barely saw Teacher Haihara all day.

Come to think of it, she hasn't had a chance to be alone with Teacher Haihara for quite some time now.

After struggling with her not-so-thick skin for a while, Kirishima Ai suddenly mustered up her courage and decided to quietly strike up a conversation with Teacher Haihara for a little while when no one else was paying attention.

We did it right away.

Kirishima Ai followed behind Haihara, cleared her throat, and asked:

"Teacher Haihara..."

She had just called the other person's name when Haihara stopped in her tracks, slightly pausing Kirishima Ai's prepared words.

However, it seems like it wouldn't be bad to discuss it face-to-face.

Just as she was thinking this, the woman in front of her turned around, and Kirishima Ai saw the woman's face and was slightly stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Haihara, standing before him, revealed a cold gaze that was quite unfamiliar to Kirishima Ai.

It's like a snake—a feeling that sends chills down your spine.

"Is everything alright?"

The woman asked indifferently.

Lacking confidence, Kirishima Ai's gaze darted away slightly in the face of the woman's cold demeanor.

However, Kirishima Ai quickly regained her thick skin—

"... If you're going back to the classroom, I'll go with you."

As she spoke, she adopted the demeanor of a model student and obedient follower.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Haihara's somewhat unfamiliar and cold demeanor seemed to have faded a bit after she came to her senses, and she seemed to have returned to her usual self.

The woman gazed at Kirishima Ai for a moment with her silent, indifferent eyes.

Then, he said:

"Then let's go."

The commotion had not yet subsided before the School Festival arrived.

The students are still diligently working on preparations for the event.

What kind of drama will unfold at this grand event before the end of the semester?

Volume Four Is this group/teasing ⊙ Lu Temple, Qi sai er $ Ba! considered a Magic girl?: Chapter 23 A girl praying

Yuri Aozuki, who has been increasingly adapting to and integrating into Earth, and even somewhat forgetting about Ruruye lately, is in a good mood.

She was the type to go with the flow and be content with a simple life. Compared to her life as the top student and the center of attention at the Magic Academy, she preferred the time to go home first thing each day, turn on the living room lights, and wait for the lady of the house to return.

As a working-class woman with a relatively easy job, she often helps the Magic girls in school deal with problems like Monster.

To be honest, she did clearly feel a feeling called happiness.

Recently, she has something else to look forward to.

That means she should go and participate in Takanashi's School Festival. She heard that on the second day of the event, she can enter as an outsider and visit the school. She can also take the opportunity to see Haihara.

Everything is fine.

However, Cangyue Yuri was not completely blinded by the life she cherished.

Recently, she's been feeling something strange.

Sometimes, when she reflects on recent events, she feels like she's overlooked something.

She might subconsciously think that things are unimportant and therefore ignore them, but that might not be the case; otherwise, she would have remembered them sometimes, given her memory.

Cangyue Yuri is quite intelligent most of the time.

It's obvious without even thinking that it was Ms. Haihara who did it.

Perhaps it's psychological suggestion?

What I overlooked must be a clue that is very important to Haihara- san and cannot be revealed to Takanashi and the others.

And it must be very simple, something you could easily come up with, but because of psychological suggestion, you just can't think of it.

Well, unfortunately, before this, Haihara had already used a contract to force herself not to reveal any information about Ms. Haihara in any form.

Thinking about this, Cangyue Yuri was quite distressed. Although she understood her own situation, all she could do now was pray for Takanashi and the others.

Life is tough, the puppy sighed.

If she really is just a puppy adopted by Haihara, then there's no need to overthink it.

---And now, she also has to face another layer of pressure from life.

"Yuri, as you know, we were always very good sisters when we were at the R'lyeh Academy."

After work, in front of Cangyue Yuri, Takanashi Shiori had a serious expression. She, who always disliked close contact with others, was now tugging at the sleeve of the Moon Academy Chief, looking like she was unwilling to leave.

Even though Cangyue Yuri was always humble and gentle, she couldn't hold back anymore, and her expression turned slightly unpleasant.

"How come I remember the time when we were closest in college was when you beat me so badly that my head was bleeding and I had broken bones all over my body?"

"Doesn't that just prove our relationship is extraordinary? I even visited you at your bedside back then."

Takanashi spoke without batting an eye, and this shamelessness immediately Cangyue Yuri of her own mistress.

At this moment, the two were standing in front of the flower shop. Takanashi was holding onto Cangyue Yuri, refusing to let go no matter what, showing no sign of wanting to entangle her.

Both girls were so strikingly beautiful that they couldn't be ignored, and many passersby couldn't help but look over curiously, wondering what their story was.

Cangyue Yuri also looked troubled at this moment:

"... You know, I'm terrible at socializing, and my background isn't particularly strong either. If Her Princess dislikes me, how will I ever be able to R'lyeh? I'll just have to reluctantly remain exiled to Earth..."

Yes, the content of their argument was quite simple.

Her Highness Princess R'lyeh, Dailuoluo R'lyeh, is about to arrive on her disloyal Earth.

Therefore, Takanashi, the Magic girl intern who has been working in the human world for a long time, naturally had no choice but to bite the bullet and give her a proper welcome.

Without hesitation, Takanashi used her best skill—dragging her colleague into the water.

Simply put, she was too nervous to be alone and wanted to find a companion to accompany her.

"That's why you must perform well in front of Her Princess, to prove that what's truly precious is your noble heart!"

Cangyue Yuri was immediately shocked. What noble spirit could she possibly possess? She'd been reduced to being someone's dog on Earth; was she supposed to demonstrate to the princess just how humane she was when she was a dog?

Seeing that Cangyue Yuri still refused to go, Takanashi grabbed Cangyue Yuri's clothes tightly with both hands:

Please.

This beautiful girl with long, grey-gold hair, as delicate and captivating as a doll, now wore a slightly gloomy gaze that sent a sense of unease through the eyes.

"Cangyue, my classmate."

She spoke each word slowly and deliberately, her voice low and deep.

Seemingly unwilling to give up, after taking a few deep breaths, Takanashi's inner demons gained the upper hand, and a truly shameless tactic emerged from his mind.

Wisdom is rising, morality is fading away.

You wouldn't want certain acquaintances to know you're a puppy, would you?

"... Eh?"

Suddenly, Cangyue Yuri's body stiffened, and her face turned pale.

After that, Takanashi didn't say anything more, and just waited for Cangyue Yuri.

The sound of the Takanashi just now was like a whisper from hell, calm and deep, yet it made one's heart sink.

It hasn't dissipated even now.

She glanced at the Takanashi.

As everyone knows, Takanashi and Kuroki Yuka classmates.

Even now, Cangyue Yuri still occasionally acts like a puppy dog in front of Kuroki Yuka...

Passersby walked by one by one.
