Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

第100章 「救世 光」（2月1日，5/5）

Early morning, Chenghua Women's College.

Xun stepped into the school gate on time.

The distance from the factory to the school is not far.

The only thing that takes a little time is the short road, more than a kilometer long, from the factory to the bus station.

There were no other means of transportation on that road, and the surface was uneven.

But she got used to it in a few days.

Getting up a little earlier by ten or twenty minutes makes the journey seem like nothing.

She walked into the classroom.

Her seat was in the front row by the window.

Put down your schoolbag and sit down.

His gaze unconsciously drifted out the window.

The morning light was clear, and students from the track and field club were doing their morning exercises on the playground.

Xun, however, was somewhat distracted.

The president seems to have stayed up all night again last night.

She remembered the continuous hum of the equipment room when she left, and his profile as he squatted among a pile of parts, focused.

Do you have dark circles under your eyes again?

Did he finish the miso soup?

My thoughts drifted away.

Until one "Ciallo~ President!"

A face suddenly appeared in front of her from the side.

With golden twin tails, smiling eyes, and a black face mask, she is Hoshino Saki.

Xun was startled, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Then, she glared at the other person with a completely non-fierce look.

"Good morning, Hoshino-kun."

The voice was steady, yet carried a hint of helplessness.

Hehe~

Saki Hikari laughed like a cat that had just pulled off a prank.

She leaned over Xun's desk, tilting her head to examine her.

"President, you look really tired~"

She deliberately dragged out the sound.

"Could it be that you didn't sleep well last night because the older man was so energetic?"

Xun's fingers curled slightly.

She's used to it.

I'm used to the other person's way of speaking, where they always start with dirty jokes.

So she didn't reply.

He simply lowered his eyes and tidied up the textbooks on the table.

Class is about to start.

Her tone was flat.

"Hoshino-kun, it's time for you to go back to your seat."

Saki blinked.

"I tried to tease the serious student council president today, but I failed again~"

She wasn't discouraged.

Instead, the topic shifted.

"By the way, student council president, do you know about the transfer student?"

Xun raised her eyes.

"————What is it?"

Not only the club president, but Hoshino has also started paying attention to that freshman.

Saki moved closer, lowered her voice, and spoke mysteriously.

"I did a little research on that transfer student, that guy—"

Before he could finish speaking—

Ring ring ring ring!!

The school bell rang suddenly.

It interrupted all whispers.

The classroom front door was pushed open.

Xuecun Baihua walked in carrying a stack of lesson plans.

His gaze, behind the glasses, swept across the entire class before finally settling on Saki.

"Hoshino-san." Although she's usually gentle, she can also show the authority a teacher should have when she starts teaching. "Go back to your seat."

"————Yes~"

Saki stuck out her tongue.

She winked at Kaoru and mouthed silently, "President, I'll talk to you about the new students after school~"

After saying that, she turned around and jogged back to her seat.

Xun watched her light and quick retreating figure and gently pursed her lips.

Transfer student —

She subconsciously looked at the still empty seat at the back of the classroom.

A vague sense of concern, for reasons I couldn't quite explain, flickered through my mind.

Class began, and Xuecun quickly finished taking attendance.

She closed the roster.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the audience.

"Today, a new student transferred to our class."

The voice was calm, yet it drew all eyes in the classroom to the podium.

"Let's invite her in now and let her say hello to everyone."

Xuecun turned towards the classroom door and raised his voice: "Savior, please come in."

salvation?

When this surname was mentioned, everyone in the audience was stunned.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Whispering among themselves.

"Savior—? Is there such a surname?"

"Did I hear that right?!"

"What a strange surname—"

The hushed discussions spread like ripples.

The classroom door was pushed open.

A girl walked in.

Her light flaxen hair was tied into a high short ponytail at the back of her head, swaying with her steps.

She grinned widely, her smile radiant.

A small canine tooth was showing.

His eyes were incredibly bright, like two polished glass beads, reflecting the classroom's fluorescent lights.

She walked with her hands behind her head, her posture unsteady, as if she were not there for class but for a temple fair.

A diamond-shaped crystal, about the size of a palm, hung from her waist.

Something like a talisman.

He stepped forward to the podium.

She turned around and faced the whole class.

Hello everyone!

His voice was loud, almost drowning out everyone's breathing.

"My name is 'Saviour Hikari'! Nice to meet you!"

She picked up the chalk, turned around, and quickly wrote her name on the blackboard.

The handwriting is bold and forceful.

"Salvation Light"

Three large characters, blindingly white.

The audience was silent.

Really—a savior?

Someone couldn't hold it in and took a low breath.

Savior Light put down the chalk and dusted off his hands.

"I transferred from Kyoto because of work!"

Work-related relationship?

The students in the audience suddenly realized.

So it turns out it was because my parents were transferred to another job.

Can understand.

But as Xuecun stood beside the podium, his fingers unconsciously touched his neck.

There was nothing unusual.

But why————

Why did she feel a chill down her spine when she looked at this smiling transfer student?

A strange, chilling feeling crept up my spine.

That concludes the introduction of the Savior Light.

She turned to Xuecun, her smile unchanged: "Teacher, I've finished my introduction."

Xuecun came to his senses.

"----OK."

She looked away and pointed to the empty seat by the window in the back row of the classroom.

"Your seat is over there."

"yes!"

Salvation Light skipped and hopped off the stage.

As he walked down the aisle, his gaze casually swept over the students on both sides.

It looked like they were sizing something up.

It was as if they were confirming something.

She walked to her seat and put down her backpack.

His movements were so natural, as if he had been there for three years.

Xuecun took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart.

She looked at Xun in the front row.

"Suzukawa-kun."

Xun raised her head.

"As the student council president, could you please show Savior around the campus during lunch break?"

Xun nodded gently.

"Okay, teacher."

The tone was calm.

But her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the back row.

The new transfer student —

He was resting his chin on his hand, staring intently at her.

His eyes didn't blink.

That overly bright smile still lingered on his lips.

Xun withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and unconsciously curled her fingers.

The sunlight outside the window is lovely.

The air in the classroom, however, seemed strangely stagnant.

She transferred to Tokyo at this time, and even said it was because of work.

Kaoru had a growing sense of unease.

She suddenly transferred from Kyoto to Tokyo at this time, saying it was for work...

Could she be a magical girl?

She already knew from the president that Kyoto was the headquarters of magical girls, with a considerable number of them.

Since the president defeated [Tensen], Tokyo, with its highest population density, should send another magical girl.

If we consider her as a magical girl who came to provide support, then everything makes sense.

But why is she looking at me?

Did she discover something?

So-called transferring schools was just a way to investigate me?

Or perhaps we should investigate the night patrol?
