Chapter 503
On a clear morning at Kaedehara High School, the school gate was adorned with various decorations and a plaque from the "School Festival" was hung up. Many students were dressed in costumes and entered the school, making it look exceptionally colorful.
Naturally, the classroom for Year Four, Class Four, has also been completely renovated today, but the decorations are secondary.
"Is this for real...? It looks so real!"
"The effect is amazing!"
"Kirishima, look over here! Wow, it looks just like the real Silver Feather."
All eyes were undoubtedly drawn to the appearance of the four Problem Child today.
The Magic girl costumes, so glamorous they looked like they were for a ball, were presented in colors and styles perfectly suited to each of them, and were dazzling enough to catch the eye even without lights.
In the morning, the girls in the class even helped them with their makeup.
Even though it differs from real Magic girls in some ways, it definitely has a charm that rivals the authentic product.
---Although it is indeed me.
"Hmm... the quality is better than I expected, it feels quite strange."
Kirishima Ai tugged at her gloves slightly, noticing that many details were different from the real Silver Feather Magic Gear, giving her a slightly peculiar feeling.
"... This is so tiring to wear."
Takanashi Shiori, somewhat awkwardly, held up the Arm Guards on one of her arms, which was far too large for her size.
How come she hadn't noticed before that the Arm Guards was so big and heavy?
The physical condition of the original body is naturally not comparable to that during transformation; Takanashi Shiori's physical condition is exceptionally poor.
As for the other two, they adapted quite well.
After all, one is a former idol, and the other has a very unconventional personality.
"Come on, Chika, take a look at the camera."
Kuroki Yuka, dressed in her Dark Kite cosplay outfit, moved closer to the petite Sakaki Chika, took out her phone, and took a beautiful photo of the two of them.
Click, click.
The two looked incredibly beautiful and adorable, and the photo was captured on the phone; they both appeared to be smiling just right.
At this moment, what appeared before the students of Year Four, Class Four, Grade 1 seemed to be four real Magic girls: Silver Feather, Star Flower, Dark Kite, and Thousand Sins.
Hmm... Although there's still a significant difference in figure between Little Chika and Ms. Star Flower.
But its cuteness is by no means inferior.
Although the activity was supposed to start soon, the students in Class Four were the first to get engrossed in it because their performances were so good.
At that moment, someone remembered that two teachers might also be dressed as Witch today. Teacher Haihara and Teacher Suzuki had already arrived in the morning and had even brought their costumes over.
Teacher Suzuki was very accommodating and accepted the gifts for both of them.
Although it wasn't as exaggerated as a real Magic girl costume, it was still quite novel to see a mature beauty like the teacher dressed as Witch.
With this in mind, everyone became excited.
I wonder if the two teachers will be dressed Witch when I see them today.
Of course, we're even more excited for the four Problem Child.
The bells of Kaedehara High School's clock tower are ringing loudly, signaling the start of the morning celebration.
More and more students were leaving the school corridors.
Before that, let's officially open the café for business.
Before we knew it, the corridors of the teaching building had become lively. The students of Year Four, Class Four were full of enthusiasm for it. After all, it was no surprise that their class's activities would be the most popular in the whole school.
"Did you hear? The Class Four event—I heard the Magic girl there looks exactly like her! Let's go check it out."
"Really?"
"It's all an exaggeration. How can real girls compare to Xiao Thousand Sins and the others? It's all photoshopped, just post-production effects."
The news of Class Four's activities quickly spread throughout the school. It wasn't just spread by word of mouth; Class Four students also uploaded some stunning photos to the school's social media circles.
But some Magic girl otaku are still not convinced.
"But the actress playing Thousand Sins is Takanashi, that super beautiful girl who looks like a Russian doll."
"... Is that person really as cute as the rumors say?"
"Putting everything else aside, Little Chika is a star among Star Flower..."
That's how it is; everyone's talking at once, with different opinions.
Although all these comments will immediately vanish upon meeting the person in person, leaving only awe.
In the morning, the queue outside the cafe for Year Four, Class Four was incredibly long.
Regardless of gender or age, people flocked to the Magic girl-themed café.
Standing at the classroom door were the two dressed as Magical Girl Silver Feather and Dark Kite.
A Magic girl duo, one representing light and the other darkness, one representing black and white.
One is Silver Feather, the most popular and quintessential Magic girl among children in Maple Plain City.
One is Dark Kite, the only dark Magic girl in Maple Plain City who went from black to white, and no one can resist her.
"Welcome, welcome! Please stop taking photos in moderation and queue properly."
Kuroki Yuka, who plays An Dark Kite, is calmly managing the scene.
Besides her appearance, Kuroki Yuka also possesses the Dark Kite.
Both men and women can easily fall for the charm of this little devil.
"Hmph, if you make a purchase now, you can get autographs from Dark Kite and Silver Feather themselves."
Kuroki Yuka said smugly.
"... You should stop a little; your tail is getting too high."
Beside her, Kirishima Ai, dressed in Silver Feather, looked a little embarrassed, using the coffee shop sign to cover the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of eyes that showed a hint of resentment towards her companion.
The area was quite lively for the rest of the morning, with everyone queuing up very enthusiastically, and some even coming back repeatedly. Every student in Class Four was basically kept very busy.
But they were mostly students.
On this day, teachers generally don't show up.
While waiting in line, the noise was quite loud, but Kirishima Ai could faintly hear something like the sound of high heels.
She felt a slight sense of anticipation, wondering if it would be something like Teacher Haihara.
Just then, it seemed as if excited shouts from students could be heard from within the crowd—
"--- Teacher Suzuki!"
With the sound of high heels and the call from before, the students all looked in that direction.
Kirishima Ai immediately turned her curious gaze toward the source of the sound.
Unsurprisingly, the most popular teacher was there— Teacher Suzuki.
However, her outfit seemed a little different from usual.
Today, Teacher Suzuki seemed quite appropriate for the occasion, wearing a Witch- style pointed soft hat and a small cloak. It looked neither over the top nor lacked any sense of atmosphere; it was the very gift that the students had given to Teacher Suzuki and Teacher Haihara this morning.
It does look quite pretty.
However, Kuroki Yuka, standing to the side, also blinked and looked left and right along with Kirishima Ai.
Where is Teacher Haihara?
After a while, the two of them finally found a woman not far from Teacher Suzuki, still wearing thick glasses and dressed in a teacher's uniform; the figure was all too familiar.
Without a doubt, it's Teacher Haihara.
But unlike Teacher Suzuki, she didn't wear a cute Witch outfit.
Instead, it's her usual, ordinary work attire.
Is that correct?
Kuroki Yuka felt her enthusiasm for work had been greatly dampened.
"Teachers, this way, you go first. Would you like something to drink?"
A female student immediately and warmly invited the two teachers to the main entrance, where they first received a greeting from the Magic girl duo.
The students naturally made way.
As soon as the two girls and the two adults met, Teacher Suzuki immediately looked surprised and delighted.
She couldn't help but pat Kuroki Yuka's head:
"Yu Ke, you look so cute today! I have to take a picture and show it to my sister."
Teacher Suzuki immediately recognized that the actress playing Dark Kite was Kuroki Yuka.
After all, the two of them lived together for a long time before Kuroki Yuka found an apartment.
The surrounding students naturally turned their attention to it.
"Aunt, isn't this... not a good idea?"
Even Kuroki Yuka felt a little embarrassed at this moment, feeling the gazes of her classmates.
She's a young person herself, and she's quite uncomfortable interacting with elders in public; she's rather shy.
Teacher Suzuki has always been understanding and considerate.
"Hmm? That's true. Haihara and I would like to go inside and make a purchase, is that alright?"
Compared to Haihara, who had remained silent ever since she walked over, Teacher Suzuki seemed more like the homeroom teacher here.
Meanwhile, Kuroki Yuka and her female classmates were having a smooth conversation with Teacher Suzuki.
Two people in the group, however, remained quiet.
For example, Kirishima and Haihara.
For some reason, Kirishima Ai looked at Teacher Haihara with a slightly worried expression.
After all, although she didn't know if it was just her imagination, Teacher Haihara had been acting distant and cold towards her lately, which made her feel a little sad.
Will it be the same today?
Just as she was thinking this...
"---Click."
Both she and Kuroki Yuka heard the sound of a cell phone taking a picture.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Haihara, who had been standing next to Suzuki, holding her phone expressionlessly and taking pictures of Kuroki Yuka and Kirishima Ai.
After taking the photos, he carefully admired the results of his photography.
After a while, Haihara looked up, her expression calm as she gazed at the two Problem Child girls in the class:
"Aren't you going to pose cutely for the teacher?"
As she spoke, she smiled, which was rare for her.
Kirishima Ai felt her mood inexplicably brighten all at once, easily shifting from gloomy to sunny.
---Today, the School Festival for troubled girls begins.
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 26 Everyone Has Different Goals, But I Just Want to Win
In Year Four, Class Four, Kirishima Ai, dressed as Silver Feather, looked humiliated and forced to perform, and tremblingly raised her hand under everyone's gaze.
Shortly after, she raised her hand, which was covered by a pure white lace glove, with her thumb pointing down and the other four fingers together.
Then, she lowered her head and turned her face away in despair.
At that moment, another graceful and alluring arm, embroidered with dark purple lace butterflies, rose up and touched Kirishima Ai's hand from the opposite direction.
"---Click."
