Chapter 40 Clumsy Guide

“Okay, done.”

I moved all the magic books that had turned into art decoration in the room to the secret base library and take a break.

There are books made of ordinary paper, books made of parchment, silly-looking books with lots of gold and jewels, and strange books that I cannot quite figure out what they are. They have a variety of bindings and designs, but all of them are thick and heavy.

It’s a good thing I have a superhuman body, but if I were to do this work as an ordinary person, I would have given up halfway through.

It seems that as long as I brought them into the library, the rest would be arranged automatically, anyway I was able to return them to their original rooms by putting them in the closet one by one.

Today is the day I promised with magical girls. I don’t know what they are going to do, but they want a proper time and they want me to stay at home because they are going to pick me up, so I am cleaning up my room.

The other day, an avalanche of books I had piled up caused a mess, and I left them strewn all over the floor. I can’t have people over to my room in such a mess, and even if not, I can’t let people see my magic books and such.

It’s not like I went all out to welcome them, but I also don’t want people to think the room is a mess, so I cleaned the whole room, not just the magic books.

However, once the magic books were put away, the rest is easy.

I transform, take out my gun, set the bullets, and pull the trigger.

“Clean!”

Clean is one of the useful life magic spells. As the name suggests, it is a magic that I would recommend to housewives because it cleanses the target.

As soon as the magic was activated, a light breeze blew, and the dust and dirt disappeared instantly, and the wrinkled carpet and sofa were neatly arranged and became as clean as new.

After a while, when the gentle wind stops, a space so neat and tidy that it could be used as a sample room in a magazine appears. If

This magic is a surprisingly complex mechanism that uses the person’s memories and the records engraved in the room to recall a well-arranged state, and then uses them as a blueprint to manifest the magic.

Originally, the objects and spaces were to be separated and the magic was to be invoked one by one, but it was too much of a hassle, so I did it all at once.

Incidentally, I put away the magic books first because I was told by Mokyu that it was better to move them out of the way as there is a possibility that the magic might interfere with each other. I become uneasy about using the Warp in the library, but it seems that the magic books are placed in high places so that they do not interfere with each other.

Although it took a long time, I felt good after finishing the job.

I don’t know how long it will be until the around noon, but I have to finish my meal anyway.

“I finished it before noon. Now, let’s eat.”

“Mokyu already said it’s better to do it yesterday kyu. It’s sloppy to leave it until the last minute kyu.”

“I’m the type to do my summer vacation homework on the last day.”

I thought there’s no way steamed bun would understand human psychology at all, but after thinking about it, fairies who pursue research out of curiosity must have done something similar.

I’m sure even Mokyu is the type of person who never cleans when Mokyu is doing something she likes. Yeah, no doubt about it.

“Mokyu, roze is slapping a disgraceful label on Mokyu without permission kyu.”

“Don’t mind it, don’t mind it.”

Ignoring Mokyu’s suspicious eyes, I open the store and search for a nice meal. After much deliberation, today’s lunch is stew. When I bought it at the store, it came in a retort-type pack, when I opened it and put it on a plate, it came out warm and already finished. I bought the rice separately and served it on a plate, and the stewed rice is ready in just a few minutes.

“Not having to cook sure is comfortable.”

“You don’t have to go through the trouble of heating up the water kyu.”

No, as expected just that much can’t be called cooking .

The steamed bun, who had never even cooked before, is munching on the stew deliciously.

I can cook for myself, but the delicious food in the store is more important than that, so I’ll enjoy it without retorting.

“I wonder if it’s about time. I should have specified the time.”

“Roze is quite careless after all. If you’re worried, just ask Quartz.”

After finishing the stew, I was wondering when the pickup would come, when I received a sharp prodding from Mokyu.

But even though we had exchanged contact information, whether by phone or e-mail I don’t know how to contact her, so I just left it at that.

It is too hard for me to communicate with middle school students without a trigger to do so.

It would be nice if Takanashi-chan would at least make some kind of move, but she might also be waiting for me to do the same. I can predict what she will do, but I can’t do it myself.

Well, it’s confirmed that she’s coming today, so there’s no need to confirm it again. Let’s have dessert and wait gracefully.



 

Lately, I eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and after meals as dessert. Taking advantage of the fact that it doesn’t make me fat, my obsession with sweets is escalating.

I understand that the brakes aren’t working, but I’ve given up thinking there’s no need to stop, so the day when ice cream becomes my staple food may soon come.

Today’s ice cream flavor is strawberry ice cream. It’s an excellent product, with a strong acidity that complements the sweetness.

I savor it in a relaxed manner, exchanging some with the honey flavored one that Mokyu is eating.

“Why is ice cream so delicious? I feel like I can eat ice cream every day.”

“Mokyu agree with that kyu. Mokyu can’t live without ice cream.”

In fact, I don’t think I would ever do such a thing, and I would probably want more than just sweet things, but the fact that it is a luxury item, coupled with its reputation, has kept it at the top of the food hierarchy, and sweet justice continues to reign supreme.

The palm-sized cup of ice cream must have been quite a large portion, but I found myself devouring one with gusto, and the spoon in my mouth had nowhere to go.

Looking at the empty cup, I was about to go to the refrigerator to have another one specially for today when the doorbell finally rings. It must mean that it was time to pick me up.

It’s true that I am waiting impatiently, but I was in the mood for the next ice cream, so I cried at the back of my mind as I go to the entrance to meet her. Resenting the fact that Mokyu is taking out the second ice cream.

Twisting the doorknob, I greet the person who rang the doorbell, and there stood Takanashi Momo, everyone’s hero Quartz, with a smile on her face.

“Rose-chan! I’m here to pick you up! Um… were you eating?”

“Hmm? Ahh, it’s okay. Come inside.”

“Really? Excuse me.”

She pointed out that I was still holding the spoon in my mouth because I wanted ice cream.

I led her inside while hiding my embarrassment, since she said she was going to pick me up, so I guess we’re going to do something elsewhere, not at my place. It seems that only Takanashi-chan is here.

Takanashi-chan is looking around the house, but there’s nothing unusual, so I want him to calm down a bit.

“So what should I do?”

“Eh, ah, um! I’m here to pick you up!”

It’s nice and all that she answered with a smile and open her arms happily, but I don’t understand it at all.

It was the same with Sapphire, but magical girls may have a habit of omitting details and speaking in compressed language. No, I don’t think so, the maid was rambling on after all. I don’t want to think that it’s my comprehension that is poor.

Takanashi-chan, for someone who is picking me up is fatally lacking in explanation, seems to be wondering if she said something strange, but I want you to tell me what I should do.

don’t feel the calmness and pale complexion that I felt when I first met her, and now I get the impression that she is a cute and energetic girl, though a little clumsy. Perhaps this is the real Takanashi Momo.

“I’m glad you came to pick me up, but what are we going to do now? I’ve had lunch, so I’m fine anytime, but are we going somewhere?”

“Ah, that’s right. You see, magical girls open a gate that leads to a place called the Magical Girl School. Today, I’m here to open that gate for Roze-chan!”

“So there’s a magical girl school. That’s amazing.”

Is that what they mean by picking me up? I’m going to go to the Magical Girl School now. I’ve always wanted to see one, so I’m really looking forward to it.

I hope I can gather a lot of information while I’m there.

I’ve been unable to get any information about other magical girls or the committee since Mokyu became the only fairy.

There were also some incomprehensible things like true ‘wanderers’, and it’s not like there’s any guarantee there’s no stray kids like the Witch Girl who was bat-shit crazy.

I was invited by Sapphire to exchange information, but I only wanted information one sidely, so if I had the option of not meeting her I would choose that.

At the very least, I’d like to make sure the Blackrose won’t be exposed if we break in. If there is no security, I can go in without permission and just take the information without asking. Since I am also a magical girl, I should be able to open the gate to the school. I’ve never used it before, so I can’t be sure.

“Then, should I go to the magical girl school through the gate Takanashi opened?”

‘Yes! I’ve opened it many times, so I won’t fail! So, I’m going to open it now, is Roze-chan ready?

“I’m Ready. I have bring the bare minimum.”

I’m dressed to go out, and I have my wallet and two cell phones.

Today’s hairstyle is a simple one with only a ribbon as an accent, without tying it up. Cute.

“Then I’ll turn the front door into a gate! Oh, don’t worry, it’ll be back to normal soon.”

“good. I would have been in trouble if it had become that gate forever.”

“It’s okay! Leave it to me! First, transform!”

When she casts the transformation, she transforms from an ordinary girl to Magical Girl Quartz.

“Then I’ll open the gate!”

Quartz fumbles with her phone, and the cheap-looking door to the entranceway is instantly transformed into a solid wooden door. She twists the knob and opens the other end to reveal not the outside world, but a view I’ve never seen before, shimmering like a mirage.

She opens the door wide, and as she does, she grabs my right hand and squeezes it tightly, so as not to let go.

“Originally, only the magical girl who opened the gate could pass through, but if we hold hands, other people can enter too. So, please give me your hand! Oh, and don’t let go of me in the middle, okay? I don’t know what will happen, but they say it’s dangerous.”

“Don’t say scary things please…”

I heard that the magical girl school is in another world, but what would happen if I let go of the hand in the middle of the gate that connects to that world?

I’m not at all familiar with how it works, but as far as I can imagine, it would definitely be a bad idea.

While squeezing back Quartz’s hand so as not to let go, and then secretly holding Mokyu with the other hand so as not to forget her, I fearfully follow her leading her through the door.
