Gokou Ruri sat in the classroom, enjoying her homade bento alone.
The girl had never been good at socializing, and coupled with her dislike for reading the room and agreeing with others, she was always alone, even though she was quite cute.
If it were in the past, she might have felt a bit lonely because of this, entrusting her social needs to online communities, but after joining the Chiba Magic Society, the situation had greatly improved.
Although she still continued to post in online communities out of habit, she now valued her real-life relationships within the Chiba Magic Society more than online interactions.
I must practice Magic diligently today. I wonder if Takuma will praise ?
With such thoughts, even if the surrounding classmates consciously or unconsciously kept their distance from her, Gokou Ruri no longer found it difficult to bear.
"Excuse , are you Gokou-san?"
Suddenly, a charming figure appeared in Gokou Ruri's line of sight.
The person was a girl with long, hi-cut-like hair, neat bangs, slender limbs, and fair, clean skin, looking utterly endearing.
"…Who?"
Gokou Ruri, holding a chopstick with bean sprouts, looked at her in confusion.
Was she soone who had specifically co to mock her for fun? Just like how boring boys would bully girls to prove their heroism, such people were rare, but they did appear occasionally.
"Let introduce myself, I'm Nukumizu Kaju."
The girl stood gracefully opposite the other girl and said, "Do you mind if I sit here?"
"Don't ask , that's not my seat."
Gokou Ruri said.
"Then excuse ."
The girl gracefully sat on the chair, her posture as elegant as a young lady's.
Gokou Ruri subtly scrutinized her for a mont, morizing her sitting posture, intending to sit the sa way during the Magic Society eting that evening.
"Although it's a bit sudden, I wanted to ask if Gokou-san knows anything about dark Magic?"
"That's just a rumor."
Gokou Ruri calmly chewed her tamagoyaki and replied.
I practice Magic, what does that have to do with dark Magic?
"Is that so?"
Nukumizu Kaju looked at the unperturbed Gokou Ruri and then asked, "Then what do you think about supernatural phenona, Gokou-san?"
"What kind of supernatural phenonon?"
At the ntion of supernatural phenona, Gokou Ruri perked up slightly and looked at Nukumizu Kaju, who seed like a typical good girl.
"For example, a boy suddenly turning into a girl… sothing like that?"
Nukumizu Kaju said casually.
Gokou Ruri stopped her chopsticks and looked her up and down in surprise: "Are you a boy?"
"…Of course not."
Nukumizu Kaju's perfect smile stiffened for half a second before she continued, "It's not convenient to talk here. Could we have a proper chat after school? Do you know Wagnaria?"
"Wagnaria…"
"It's the family restaurant in front of the station. If you don't know the way…"
"No need, I've been there."
She had just been there yesterday and even ate the hamburger steak from the children's al.
"That's great, the person involved and I will et you there."
Gokou Ruri, with her chopsticks in her mouth, pondered for a long while, then slowly nodded.
Anyway, even if it was a trap, it didn't matter. With Magic, she could calmly handle many dangers. Even if it was just a prank ant to bully her, she wasn't without ways to punish the other party—of course, to prevent retaliation, she wouldn't be as gentle as she was with Yukino or Yuigahama Yui.
As Nukumizu Kaju left the classroom, satisfied, she was stopped by a friend from another class whom she knew.
"Kaju, I think it's better not to get too close to that black-haired girl."
"What's wrong? Is there sothing bad about that child?"
Nukumizu Kaju asked curiously.
"There are many unpleasant rumors…"
The other person said with a serious expression.
"No, no, I ant, has she done anything bad at school?"
Nukumizu Kaju interrupted the other person and asked gently.
"This… no, she hasn't, but it might just be an act to appear well-behaved at school…"
"Then it's fine."
Nukumizu Kaju said cheerfully, "Thank you for your warning, but I still think it's better to confirm a person's character with my own eyes."
"I see. Your cat-ear shaped ribbon is very cute too. Well then, Kaju, take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, the other person understood the girl's aning and could only awkwardly find a topic to say goodbye and leave.
"Cat ears?"
Nukumizu Kaju curiously touched her tie, but found no cat ears.
Did the other party just see wrong? The girl left in confusion.
In the classroom on the other side, Gokou Ruri's lips curled slightly. It seed that the eting after school would be more exciting than she had imagined.
Ti flew by… Well, not quite to that extent.
It was soon ti for school to end.
Gokou Ruri casually tidied her schoolbag and then, like a nimble Kuroneko, darted off to the promised family restaurant.
She thought she would definitely arrive before the girl nad Nukumizu Kaju. After all, in Gokou Ruri's impression, girls who looked as sweet and soft as marshmallows always seed a bit slow.
However, when she arrived at Wagnaria, she found that the girl nad Nukumizu Kaju was already waiting for her in a booth in the corner.
Beside her sat a sowhat restless young woman, who looked a bit older than her. Was she Nukumizu Kaju's older sister?
It was just that compared to Nukumizu Kaju, the Nukumizu sister's appearance was quite inferior, at most only describable as delicate. But paired with that flustered expression, perhaps there would be people who liked that type?
"Long ti no see."
Gokou Ruri sat down across from them with a casual air.
"Would you like sothing to drink?"
Nukumizu Kaju asked to break the ice.
"No need, as we might not stay here later."
Gokou Ruri's gaze fell on the Nukumizu sister beside the other party: "Is this the 'person involved' you ntioned?"
"Mm, how is it? Can you tell anything?"
Nukumizu Kaju put down the nu and asked Gokou Ruri.
The young woman carefully examined her, but to her dismay, she couldn't sense anything unusual about the Nukumizu sister.
If it were Takuma, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance whether the other party had magic, whether she was a witch… Hmm, in this situation, perhaps it should be called a warlock?
Afterward, Gokou Ruri carefully inquired about what had happened to the Nukumizu sisters in the past two days, but found no special clues. From their perspective, these two days were just like normal, with absolutely nothing worth ntioning, and naturally no particularly 'abnormal' situations.
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Gokou Ruri sighed.
"Even Gokou, you have no clue? It seems Onii-chan can only be a girl for the rest of his life…"
Nukumizu Kaju was a bit dejected, and of course, even more dejected was the Nukumizu sister beside her. Gokou Ruri always felt like she could see a mochi-shaped soul floating out of the other party's mouth due to the great shock…
"Although I can't help, it doesn't an there's no way to change back."
Gokou Ruri pulled out her phone and said while sending a ssage to her Takuma.
"Really?"
The Nukumizu sister revived.
"Mm, be fortunate, there are people in this world more powerful than , the Fallen Saint Kuroneko."
"Fallen… what?"
Nukumizu Kaju watched Gokou Ruri curiously.
Because the other party's eyes were too clear, Gokou Ruri felt a bit embarrassed to continue emphasizing her persona to enhance her persuasiveness.
"Angel or fallen angel, as long as I can change back, anything is fine…"
The Nukumizu sister looked like she was on the verge of tears and had given up on herself.
"ssage received."
Gokou Ruri's phone screen lit up: "Nukumizu Kazuhiko."
Nukumizu Kaju and the Nukumizu sister both looked up: "What (What's wrong)?"
Realizing that it was a bit confusing, Nukumizu Kaju imdiately added: "Because both of us are Nukumizu, from now on, Gokou can just call Kaju."
"Be honored that I can call you by your given na, Kaju."
"Okay, okay~"
"That sounds a bit perfunctory… Never mind, Nukumizu Kazuhiko, which school are you from?"
"Soubu High School, why?"
The Nukumizu sister said.
"Very good, it seems we don't need to get an extra uniform."
Gokou Ruri raised the phone in her hand: "The target is Soubu High School, Chiba Magic Society."
