Chapter 528

Perhaps he is a very important person.

But now, I can't remember anything at all...

Even when she woke up, Kirishima Ai felt very groggy. The nightmare had kept her from sleeping well, and she hadn't had much energy since waking up.

She didn't wake up on her own.

She was awakened by her younger sister, Kirishima Hina.

"Sister? Wake up."

Her younger sister looked at Kirishima Ai, who was sleeping soundly, with a mixture of obedience and curiosity.

At this moment, Kirishima Ai, who was still quite confused, blinked and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

How did I end up sleeping here all of a sudden?

Is this their home?

If she remembered correctly... she and her companions were fighting against Teacher Haihara had transformed into Overlord, right?

What happened next? What happened to the others?

She snapped out of her daze and hurriedly asked---

"Hina, did the news report what happened after the Magic girls lost to the Overlord?"

Kirishima Ai sister, Kirishima Hina, has always shared secrets and activities about Magic girls with her, so they can talk about this topic without worry.

However, the usually sensible and intelligent younger sister looked slightly confused and blinked her bright and beautiful eyes.

"Um, sister... what are you talking about, Magic girl and Overlord? You have to go to school today, didn't you hear your alarm clock?"

The obedient and sensible chick stretched out a hand and touched her older sister's forehead with concern to make sure she had a fever.

Upon hearing this, Kirishima Ai tilted her head blankly.

Was there anything I didn't express clearly?

Or perhaps their previous battle wasn't reported in the news for some reason, so Hina knew nothing about it?

With these questions in mind, Kirishima Ai groggily crawled out of bed, confirming that there seemed to be no change in her body, no wounds, and everything seemed normal.

After confirming that her older sister was alright, Kirishima Hina left her sister's bedroom to continue making breakfast.

Kirishima Ai was left alone. After wondering for a while, she first changed her clothes, shivering because the room was too cold. Then she quickly picked up her phone and went to the sink to wash up.

While brushing her teeth absentmindedly, making gurgling noises, she held her phone in one hand, quickly pulled up her friends list, and started sending annoying morning text messages to Takanashi and the others.

"Are you all alright? What happened after that? Where are you now?"

I'll send this out first and see if anyone replies.

All are currently unread.

For the first time, Kirishima Ai so desperately wanted to receive text message replies from her classmates.

Let's wait patiently for now. If that still doesn't work, then we'll have to transform and fly to the school to see if we can meet up there.

This means I might run into Teacher Haihara again.

Her mind was immediately filled with confusion.

She quickly washed her overly cold face, which made her feel much more awake. After putting on a warm coat, she originally intended to transform and head straight to school, but then she heard Hina calling out to her from where she had prepared the meal:

"Sister, breakfast is ready! Are you all tidy up?"

Kirishima Ai pulled her coat tighter to keep out the cold morning wind. After a struggle with her conscience, she decided to eat the breakfast her sister had made before leaving, otherwise she would really freeze to death.

She sat down on the carpeted floor, tucked her legs under the heated table, and slowly rubbed her hands together.

While waiting for her daughter to bring breakfast, she noticed that the television was still on.

It looks like they're broadcasting the morning news.

[Yesterday, in Heartlight City, the Magic girl Star Lamp single-handedly defeated the mature-stage Swan Monster, once again protecting the peace of Heartlight City from a powerful foe...]

When Kirishima Ai first heard it, she thought it was news from several versions ago, and it felt a little unfamiliar.

She then listened to the next broadcast.

[This morning, three more cases of Monster Disease were detected in the New Fog Sea Region...]

The girl touched the hair by her ear again.

Monster Disease.

Although the term includes the word "Monster," Kirishima Ai has rarely encountered it.

After all, this is not a problem that Magic girls can solve.

In simple terms, they are Monster that were born naturally from humans without the influence of the Black Death Cult organization.

The cause and origin of this disease are unknown, and it is basically incurable.

However, their city hasn't seen such a case for many years.

"Sister, let's change the channel."

"Good."

Kirishima Ai picked up the remote and changed the channel.

After that, she ate the breakfast that Chu had made carefully and quickly, trying not to waste any time.

"Looks like my sister knew she was going to be late."

Chu sighed.

Kirishima Ai was holding a fork in one hand, biting into bacon, while hurriedly pouring hot milk with the other.

She swallowed it whole:

"I'm sorry... I have to get up quickly for school..."

The understanding younger sister has grown accustomed to her older sister's bluntness and straightforwardness.

She watched as Kirishima Ai hurriedly went to get her sister's schoolbag and even helped Kirishima Ai put the schoolbag on her back.

Looking at her older sister, who was dressed in a school uniform and as beautiful and pretty as ever, Hina smiled faintly.

"Then, be careful on the road. I'll get home earlier and wait for you."

"Hmm... no problem."

Finally, Kirishima Ai had stuffed almost everything into her mouth, then she adjusted her backpack strap and quickly ran out.

But after she went out, she certainly didn't ride a bicycle again.

Instead, he found a secluded corner and took out his Broken Wing and Fate Kite Transformation Crystal.

Even now, Takanashi and the others haven't returned to their own time.

Then we'll have to go to the school and try looking there.

Kirishima Ai discovered that her Magic Crystal was in a state of very high Magic Power, which didn't seem like she had just experienced a major battle yesterday.

I can't worry about that anymore.

"Magic girl—— Fate Kite!"

Early in the morning, noisy transformation sound effects rang out near the apartment.

A crimson figure flapped its fiery Feather Wing, dispelling the bitter cold, and flew at an incredible speed toward Kaedehara High School, leaving everyone else in the dust.

It didn't take long before they flew to the rooftop of Kaedehara High School, still far from the start of morning self-study.

She deactivated her transformation and continued on her way to the classroom.

I was rushing around while thinking.

Honestly, after something like that happened, did their class still have a homeroom teacher?

It's hard to imagine that Teacher Haihara has returned to work as usual.

After rushing into the classroom, half of the students were still missing.

She immediately spotted several familiar faces.

"Kirishima, why are you here so early today? Haven't you finished your homework? But I won't lend you my homework to copy."

Kuroki Yuka was drinking a hot cappuccino early in the morning, which gave the impression of being very unhealthy.

But what puzzled Kirishima Ai even more was that Kuroki Yuka remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Huh? No, no, is that the point? Didn't you read the text messages I sent you?"

Kirishima Ai a little confused, wondering if Kuroki Yuka had really gone this far.

Then, she suddenly noticed that Sakaki Chika was also in the classroom, perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened, and was even diligently memorizing poems...

"You even texted us? What's so urgent?"

Kuroki Yuka seemed to have simply not thought there was anything important, and only now did she pick up her phone to take a look.

She read it slowly and deliberately.

Kirishima Ai awaits her explanation and response.

"Uh... wait, what did you post that's so incoherent?"

To everyone's surprise, Kuroki Yuka looked completely bewildered.

Kirishima Ai blinked.

At that moment, Sakaki Chika also picked up her phone and checked it again.

After watching it, Sakaki Chika asked with great care:

Is there something urgent that I need help with?

"No..."

The reactions of these two people made Kirishima Ai begin to doubt herself.

She quickly leaned close to Kuroki Yuka and Sakaki Chika's ears and described the situation in very confident language.

"So, you mean, at the School Festival, we fought with Teacher Haihara, and then everyone was knocked unconscious?"

Now that things have come to this, she no longer cares whether it's discussed in the classroom or not.

As a result, both Kuroki Yuka and Sakaki Chika showed very surprised expressions, as if they couldn't understand what Kirishima Ai was saying at all.

Sakaki Chika looked both curious and confused:

"Um, Ai, why are we fighting against Teacher Haihara?"

"You ask why..."

Could it be that everyone else except her suffered amnesia after being beaten?

Then why did Hina also say there was no news about that incident? How exactly was it handled...?

Besides these questions, Kirishima Ai also discovered another strange thing.

Today, all the students in the class are so well-behaved and quiet.

Has Yamajima always been this obedient since his childhood?

And he even looked forward to morning self-study.

She thought to herself that it was almost the end of the semester, and there were no music or PE classes scheduled.

Just as she was thinking this, a tall and graceful figure appeared naturally at the classroom door. Although she had never been in this classroom before, Kirishima Ai felt that the figure looked strangely familiar.

Kirishima Ai's pupils gradually widened...

The other students didn't find it strange at all; instead, they all greeted him warmly.

Good morning, Ms. Lily.

Good morning, teacher!

"Would the teacher like some milk tea?"

Kirishima Ai had never seen these classmates so enthusiastic before; they had never been this enthusiastic towards Teacher Suzuki, had they?

However, upon seeing that face, one has to admit that it was only natural.
