Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"Isn't today a holiday? There are so many people here. If it's just preparations for the school festival, there shouldn't be so many people, right?"

"Have you forgotten about tomorrow's activities?"

"Oh!" She then remembered that there was a so-called pre-school festival mobilization meeting tomorrow. No wonder there were so many people at the stadium. It turned out that they were all here for training.

"How about it? An Teng, do you want to try it?"

No wonder Li came to me. It turns out she wanted to train me in the three-legged race.

Meiko Anten thought with sudden enlightenment.

But it's true that the training time left for students is only one and a half days, and she left half a day early yesterday.

In other words, if she missed these few hours in the afternoon, she might have to go on stage unprepared tomorrow.

It doesn't matter if she embarrasses herself, but she can't let Li embarrass herself with her.

Maybe it was because she ignored this matter that her body and her not-so-good brain went to school together.

All in all, it's great to come and take a look out of curiosity.

"Hurry up, Meizi, maybe you can still grab a good seat... Um, sorry... I called your name suddenly."

"It's okay. We're partners now, so it's okay to call each other by our first names, right?"

Meiko Andeng's words were actually a test. Perhaps being able to call Rei by each other's names has always been her dream.

After hearing this proposal, she took Anten Meiko's hand and responded with a playful smile: "Let's go, Meiko!"

If the person in front of him was still Koichi Anten, he would never have been treated like this, but now, it was Li who took the initiative, even though she might not have meant that at all.

Li's hands were soft as if they had no bones, and they felt cool and comfortable to hold. To Anten Meiko, such a small hand was full of security, as if she was the most suitable person to have a boyfriend.

However, she always felt that Li's personality was somewhat different from her impression of her, but she didn't want to pay attention to such details. As long as Li still held her hand well, she felt that nothing mattered.

If I could just get her favor like this, maybe there wouldn't be any harm in continuing to live as Meiko...

With a soft sigh, she shook her head to get rid of the dangerous thought.

From the school gate to the playground, Li was talking all the way. She was so immersed in the soft jade in her hand that she had completely forgotten who she was. Even if she was asked something, she just smiled and agreed.

She never knew that Li could have such a passionate side, completely different from the cold look when she rejected her.

"At first I was worried that I might draw some creepy guy, but luckily, I drew a cutie like you, Meizi."

"Haha, yeah, I was worried about that at first too."

But Rei, if I hadn't turned into Meiko, your partner would be Koichi now. Is Koichi considered a creepy guy? Probably not.

She felt that her performance in school was quite decent.

The two went to the equipment room and borrowed a rope for the three-legged race, then walked all the way to an empty space in the playground.

Many people who participate in the competition think that there is no need to train for such childish events, but this idea is undoubtedly wrong.

The three-legged race tests the tacit understanding between two people. After all, they have different heights and leg lengths, so the distance and speed of each person's step is basically impossible to be the same.

"Right here, Meizi, come here and stretch out your feet."

At Rei's command, Meiko Anten took a step forward with her right foot, and Rei half-knelt down and tied her left foot together with hers.

I always feel nostalgic.

The games that she used to play with Fuko and the others were no longer played after she grew up. Now, looking at Li's back, Meiko Anten seemed to have regained the feeling of those days.

"Okay, that's it." Li stood up and tried it a little, and An Teng Meizi's feet were also pulled up with her.

Is it too tight? I can't move around properly.

"Then let's take a walk first?" she asked weakly. Unexpectedly, Li patted her shoulder happily when she heard it.

But for her weak body, these blows were quite heavy.

"Haha, yes, I thought so too."

She seemed very happy. Should I cooperate or agree with her at this time? Asshole, if I had known this would happen, I should have prepared myself mentally in advance.

Why is the male protagonist in the game so strong that he can talk and laugh freely in front of the girl he likes, unlike me who starts to panic when seeing the person I like.

She was really upset about her disappointing self.

"Meizi should know how to get there, right?"

"Although I don't usually exercise, at least I have no problem with the three-legged race." After all, I played it a lot when I was a child, so it can be considered one of the joys of childhood.

"One, ah...ah..." It turned out that flags cannot be raised randomly. As soon as she finished speaking, problems arose here.

Li's feet touched the ground before her, and she immediately felt awkward not being able to keep up with the other person's rhythm. The sudden imbalance in her center of gravity and coordination caused her to fall forward.

“Be careful…ah…”

Li, who wanted to catch her, was tied to her feet, so her attempt to save her ended up making things worse. Not only did she fail to help, she was also tripped and fell.

Meiko Anten, whose reaction speed was pretty good, quickly turned over, not caring whether she would get hurt or not. Her first thought was to avoid dropping Li.

So when she stretched out her hand and was about to take Li... her hand unexpectedly pressed on her mountain..., the soft feeling made her unable to help but pinch it twice more.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in her mind.

So cool.

"Meizi, um, although I don't really mind this kind of thing, it would be better to let it go for now..."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Li's voice made her let go of her hand quickly, and her body unconsciously took two steps back, but this time she was moved forward again.

Without the support of Anten Meiko, Li leaned against her again this time.

Although this allowed her to experience the facial cleanser from the person she loved, the poorness of it, which was so different from Fu Zi's, made her eyes go dark and she almost fainted.

Li raised her body, and there was a hint of doting in her eyes when she looked at An Teng Meizi.

The two of them just stared at each other until Rei started laughing, and then Anten Meiko followed suit.

"Meizi, you did this on purpose."

"No... no, I'm not used to it yet, sorry..."

After all, it had been many years since she last played the three-legged race, and she was really not used to exercising with this body.

"There's no need to apologize. Just let me take responsibility and teach you."

"Okay."

Volume 1: About the incident where I was tricked into becoming a magical girl: Chapter 27: Don’t use me as a shield!

When you focus on doing one thing, time flies by very quickly.

An afternoon passed in the blink of an eye, and the cooperation between Meiko Anten and Rei Nakajima became much more proficient.

"I'm a little tired. How about going for a drink? It's my treat."

"Ok."

It was quite some time before dinner, and since she thought it would be nice to stay with Li for a while longer, she didn't refuse, and she had no reason to refuse.

"Be careful on your way back." The security guard who still remembered them reminded them with a smile.

"Uncle, thank you for your hard work." After symbolically greeting the security guard, she left the school with Li.

"Did Meiko just transfer here? I don't remember having such a cute classmate."

"I guess so. I'm actually substituting for Koichi Anten."

"Anten Koichi? Who is that?"

"Eh?"

Didn't she remember it at all? I confessed to her three times and was rejected three times, but she didn't even remember my name?

Li's words made Anten Meiko's heart darken.

"What's wrong, Meizi? You suddenly look unhappy."

That's true. If it's someone who has no interest in you, no matter what they do, you won't remember their name or anything they did.

"But since you're a transfer student, we're friends now. If you have any questions or encounter any troubles, you can come to me."

"Okay, thank you in advance, but where are we going now?"

Li smiled mysteriously at her and said, "You'll know when you come."

Being led by her, Meiko Anten walked for the first time on a path that did not belong to home or school, nor did it belong to her former self.

Commercial street.

Having lived in the outskirts of Tokyo for so long, this was her first time to come to this commercial street, and also the first time she saw how prosperous it was, as prosperous as the center of a city.

She was still wondering why she didn't see those classmates during the holidays. She originally thought that most of the students in the school were stay-at-home kids, but now it seems that the opposite is true. It turns out that they are all active students.

But speaking of it, it would be strange for a otaku like her to come to a place like this alone. Seeing that they were all in groups when they were strolling here, it meant that this should be a place where only modern people are qualified to go.

Who would have thought that one day I would be able to sit here.

"Yezi, this is the milk tea you ordered."

"Come to think of it, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't come to places like this so often."

"why?"

"Because it would be weird if I came alone, right?"

Strange? Is Li alone too? That shouldn't be the case. I often see her walking with friends. Could it be that she's actually lonely?

"If you want to come next time, you can ask me to come with you."

After all, she is also a person. After becoming what she is now, Meiko Anten no longer has any desire for the game itself. Maybe being called out to play can give her a chance to experience the so-called real-life life.

"Hey, let's exchange contact information first."

Taking out her phone and entering Rei's contact information, Anten Meizi glanced at the time and said, "It's already this late."

"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"Well, before I came out, I made an appointment with my family to go back before dinner."

"Then let's go home separately today. Let's work hard together tomorrow." Li smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up.

"come on!"

"My home is over there, so I won't send you off. Be careful when you go back alone, Meizi."

"You too, be careful on the road."

Although she felt a little sorry to part with Li, she still finished the rest of the milk tea, threw the cup into the trash can, and walked towards home.

only……

Just as Meiko Anten was about to leave the commercial street, a feeling of disgust suddenly surged up her spine and into her brain.

[Master, something's wrong.] Ruby called out hurriedly.

"I won't mention when you caught up with me, but are you the alarm? You're telling me something's going on here... I don't even want to hear it!"

[However, if the master feels nauseous, it means that its magic ether has already affected the present world.]

【Tsk. 】

"Master, don't be so willful. They've already bullied us to the point of wanting us to take a detour?"

【right. 】

A monster that can influence the present world through the magic ether, what if it's a Void Beast on the level of the Void King Snake? How can I resist it? If I just go in like this, wouldn't that be courting death?

"Master, your worries are unnecessary. If it were a Void King Snake of this level, the area around here would have been destroyed."

【This is too scary. 】

"So, Master, don't run away. Fight with all your might! I'll assist you... Besides, avoiding battle will only put you in a more disadvantageous position."

Fight? You're kidding, I don't want to fight.

"It can't affect the present world anyway, so it's okay to just leave it alone."

「That’s what I said, but Master, aren’t you afraid… Ah, here it comes…」

Although she planned to go home, before she took a few steps, she felt dizzy, the sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
