The dim room is filled with wine bottles and the smell of long-storage alcohol. The windows and doors of the house are covered with IOUs. Even in the middle of the night, you would be suddenly awakened by the sound of someone banging on the door.
During that period, Chika Sakaki's heart would always beat suddenly very fast, and there were several times when she almost couldn't breathe.
This desperate life did not change even after she started working as an idol and earned enough money to support herself.
All the money earned was poured into a bottomless hole.
During the day, she had to keep smiling and look cute on stage to bring happiness to the audience, but at night she would return to a home full of IOUs and sometimes be beaten.
When she returned to her room late at night with bruises all over her body, she would always think of her grandmother's words.
Smile...
One day, she will find her own happiness and smile from the bottom of her heart.
Because smile is the power of magical girls.
Chika Sakaki always believed in her grandmother's words, worked hard, smiled constantly, and persisted day after day.
But those desperate days seemed to have no end.
Even after transforming into the magical girl Hoshika, she could no longer force a smile. In such despair, Chika Sakaki's heart became darker and darker, and everything in the world was gradually filled with dark emotions. To her, reality was like a nightmare from which she could never wake up.
Just then, the man showed up.
"Teacher Haibara......"
The nightmare seemed to be over here.
Her teacher, like the morning light shining into this dark world, suddenly broke into this nightmare, defeated the nightmare that had been imprisoning her, and then took her hand and led her out of this cage.
At that time, Chika Sakaki seemed to finally understand what her grandmother said.
Teacher Haibara is like a hero to her...like a magical girl.
The teacher performed a miraculous magic on her, making her smile in despair.
Looking back at this nightmare, Chika Sakaki smiled subconsciously, and her uneasiness subsided a little.
However, soon, images that frightened her began to appear.
Even though to her, Teacher Haibara was a kind magician who saved her, to her, she was just a clumsy, lonely student who could be found everywhere.
So far, Mr. Huihara has done a lot for her.
But after that, whether she gave the teacher holiday gifts, invited the teacher on a date, or even tried to take the initiative to touch the teacher's body, she didn't feel that she had established more connection with the teacher.
That fact made her extremely depressed.
What is a teacher to himself?
If I can't get further with the teacher, the teacher will one day have a happier life of his own, and will be further and further away from me...
In the nightmare, Chika Sakaki saw Teacher Haibara hugging someone's arm, leaving her with a happy and beautiful back view, which was a look she had never shown when she was with her.
Bitterness and sadness filled my heart without me noticing.
There was no more physical pain, and she no longer had to face the home that brought her nightmares, but why did she still feel so sad?
Chika Sakaki hated herself for being so greedy.
"don't want…………"
Please wait for me... Please don't be so far away from me...
That might be what will happen someday.
Nowadays, inevitably, some gloom has emerged in Chika Sakaki's heart.
...............
When she woke up again and saw the gray world in front of her, the depressed and gloomy mood still enveloped Chika Sakaki, making her filled with uneasiness and unable to calm down.
Chika Sakaki soon realized that she had undone her transformation.
Of all the magical girls, she is the most sensitive to before and after transformation.
Because after she canceled her transformation, she was just a cowardly, self-abased and gloomy woman.
After being in a daze for a while, she realized that what had just happened was just a nightmare.
She wasn't the only one who woke up.
Beside her were Kirishima Ai and Kotori Shiori, who had woken up a while ago.
They looked at Chika Sakaki with worry.
"Xinghua, you look terrible, and you haven't woken up after sleeping for so long. Are you having a nightmare?"
Chika Sakaki blinked sleepily.
The one who calls her "Star Flower" is Shiori.
She looked around.
No matter where you are, it's all gray and white, with no other colors, which makes people feel very depressed.
And although it was a classroom at Fengyuan High School, it was not the classroom for Class 4, Grade 1 where they usually had classes.
What kind of illusion did the enemy cast on them during the battle?
Just when she was confused, a very soft and pleasant girl's voice came to her ears:
"Maybe it's because there's something fearful that Xiao Xinghua has been suppressing in her heart, so she has just been affected by this world and has been trapped in a nightmare."
It was a strange voice that Chika Sakaki had never heard before.
Because she suddenly appeared in their topic, Chika Sakaki looked up with curiosity and saw a girl wearing the Kaedehara High School uniform like them.
She was a girl with black hair and black eyes, wearing a butterfly-shaped hairpin.
She had a graceful and well-proportioned figure, with just the right beauty of a young girl. Although the world was gray, her hair and clothes still seemed to be sprinkled with morning light, and she had a pure charm that even Chika Sakaki subconsciously admired.
Just like the girls who often appear in girls' comics.
But then, Sakaki Chika felt something was wrong, because the other party called her... Xinghua?
Seeing Sakaki Chika's puzzled look, the black-haired girl in front of her smiled:
"By the way, Xinghua-chan just woke up a while ago, and I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Kurosaki Asuka, and I'm a student at Kaedehara High School like you."
"However, if I'm still in school, I'll probably be in my third year, so you can call me senior."
The voice of this girl named Kurosaki Asuka was also very pleasant to Chika Sakaki's ears.
Even many of her colleagues who are idols do not have such a sweet and pure voice.
But Chika Sakaki soon felt that the name seemed a little familiar.
Some time ago, the identity of the magical girl Caiyu Renren, whom they had been investigating, was called this name.
"Is Senpai... Magical Girl Iroha?"
Chika Sakaki raised her head and looked at Kurosaki Asuka in front of her, as well as Kirishima Ai and Takanashi Shiori beside her. It seemed that they had already communicated before she woke up and had accepted this fact.
Kurosaki Asuka smiled and nodded:
"That's right. I'm the cutest and most beautiful girl in Fengyuan City who once fought against the Black Death with Xiao Huanfeng. I'm the perfect angel descended from Luluye~"
She made a scissors shape with one hand and placed it next to her beautiful eyes, like a star who confidently showed a cute smile in front of the camera.
I didn’t expect that such frivolous words would come out of the mouth of this pure and lovely senior.
The girl quickly winked playfully:
"Kidding."
When they met officially for the first time, Chika Sakaki had never expected that this magical girl senior would be of this style.
It’s a bit like my personality after I transformed into Star Flower.
In this regard, Chika Sakaki admires this senior a little bit, because he gives people a cute and very confident feeling, which is completely different from herself.
In other words, the missing senior magical girl that they had been looking for for a long time just appeared in front of them?
Where is this?
At this time, Shiori Kotori crossed her arms and calmly explained:
"Now it seems that we are all drawn into this strange world because of the power of the unknown magic crystal used by Chameleon and Dark Feather..."
"According to Kurosaki-senpai, this is a nightmare world?"
As she spoke, Kotori looked at Kurosaki Asuka.
Kurosaki Asuka nodded, then looked at the gray-haired classmates in the same classroom with them. Those students were unfamiliar faces to Chika Sakaki and the others. They should have been in the same class as the student council president and the others two years ago.
But these students were chatting and laughing among themselves, and no one noticed that there were three new strangers in the class, who were still discussing the topic of magical girls.
What's even more strange is that among these students, there is a student council president who is also a magical girl, and a girl named Kurosaki Asuka who looks a little more immature.
"You've also noticed that our presence in this world is very low. Others basically don't notice us and treat us as classmates who are unfamiliar but seem to know each other."
"Because this is a nightmare world created by the power of the magic crystal."
"What appears here are all fragments of memories from the past, so there are also memories of me and Xiao Huanfeng. It is difficult for us to affect the facts that have already happened in our memories."
After hearing what Kurosaki Asuka said, Chika Sakaki looked as if she understood but not quite.
Nightmares from the past?
Who does this belong to?
Judging from these clips, it definitely has nothing to do with the three of them, because they have no impression of these things happening at all, so it must be related to someone who was in this class a few years ago.
But maybe it wasn't Kurosaki-senpai's either, because Kurosaki-senpai, like them, was not noticed by these people and was not affected by the nightmare.
When Kirishima Ai and Sakaki Chika lowered their heads in deep thought, Shiori Kotori looked up at her magical girl senior:
"Before we figure out how to leave this strange place, could you please explain to us what happened during the two years you were missing?"
"Why don't you go back to Luluye, and why did your wand appear in Anyu's hand?"
Xiao Niaoyou's words caught the attention of the other two.
Yes, what concerned them more than the weirdness of this gray and white world was why the magical girl Genfeng and the magical girl Caiyu suddenly and mysteriously disappeared two years ago.
It was not until the chameleon monster reappeared that the student council president transformed again, allowing them to learn Huanfeng's true identity.
All of this seems to be connected.
However, because the magical girl Caiyu, who was supposed to return to Luluye to report everything, mysteriously disappeared, they knew almost nothing about what happened two years ago.
Faced with Shiori Takanashi's questioning, Kurosaki Asuka was not nervous, but looked as if she had known this would happen, and she still kept smiling.
"As you all know, in the last battle two years ago, Huanfeng and I fought against the Chameleon who evolved into the Black Death Disciple, and we won in the end."
Next, Kurosaki Asuka recounted what happened two years ago.
Kurosaki Asuka's tone was calm and gentle, but everything that happened at that time was actually full of twists and turns.
"Because Huanfeng and I were immature at the time, many misunderstandings occurred between us, and we also... hurt some people who shouldn't have been involved in the monster incident. As a result, little Huanfeng didn't even want to talk to me anymore."
"So, after defeating the Chameleon Monster and the Black Death Leader at the time, we chose to retire."
"Then, something unexpected happened."
When he said this, Kurosaki Asuka's originally cheerful tone also became a little depressed.
"The Chameleon Freak has not been completely defeated."
"Its weakened form attacked me while I was not transforming, and took away my magic tools and transformation magic crystals."
"But maybe it was afraid that killing me would attract Luluye's attention, so I fell into a deep sleep and have been imprisoned by the chameleon ever since."
As far as this passage is concerned, it is a very miserable experience.
For a magical girl who once protected the city, such an ending and what happened afterwards were too heavy.
However, there was no sympathy on Kotori's face immediately. Instead, she continued to ask:
"Why didn't the other magical girls notice this?"
