I am Kisayama Chisaki, 14 years old. I am an ordinary middle school student, like anywhere else. But I have one secret that makes me different from everyone else.

 

Actually, between you and me, I'm a Magical Girl!

 

Don't tell my family or friends about this. I am a Magical Girl who protects the world in the shadows.

Of course, there are hard times, but I can do my best to protect everyone's smile!

 

「Morning, Chisaki.」

「Morning!」

「How are you doing recently? Any problems?」

 

This person is my dad. He works from early in the morning until late at night every day, and the only time our life rhythms match is when I get up early for morning training for club activities.

He is kind of a worrier, and whenever we have dinner together, he always asks about my school life and friendships.

 

「I'm having fun every day.」

「Then I guess that's good… If you have a problem, you tell me anything, okay?」

「Yeah. Thanks, Dad.」

 

It pains me to lie to my father, who is very kind and I love him very much, but I can't help it because I can't tell anyone but Magical Girls about this problem.

 

My latest problem.

It is to make friends with a new Magical Girl.

The girl who sashayed into our pinch that night and left without a word.

We became Magical Girls in the same town, and I want to be friends with her.

 

「Chisaki really was a good girl. Oh yeah, you got enough pocket money?」

「Come on, don't spoil her.」

 

My mom smacked my dad on the head when he tried to smile and talk about upping my allowance.

She is usually very calm and gentle, but sometimes she is very strict with my dad. But my father doesn't get angry when he gets hit. He just says, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry,” and smiles, and his mother laughs at him, saying, “It can't be helped.” My mom and dad are very close!

 

「Thanks for the food. I'll be going now!」

 

I must hurry up or I will be late!

I'm not very good in the morning, so I'm always in trouble just in time.

 

「Ah, Chisaki-onee-chan! Good morning—!」

「Good morning, Rikchan!」

 

As I was leaving the house, I happened to run into Rikchan from the house next door.

Rikchan is in the fourth grade, but she goes to a private school and takes the train to school, so she wakes up early every morning. I don't really know what a private elementary school is like, but it must be tough to have to get up early every day.

 

「I'm gonna be late, so I gotta go! Be careful!」

「Okay!」

 

Rikchan is adorable as she responds with full of energy～!

I wonder if I had a little sister like this. I still think little kids are adorable and I feel like I have to do more to protect them like this.

 

I made a mad dash and managed to get there without being late, but my clothes were sticking to me with sweat and I felt uncomfortable.

I hate summer because of this.

 

「Mornin', Chisaki. Just in time for another day.」

「Morning, Yuri-chan! Just safe in time!」

 

After slipping into the club room a few minutes before morning practice began to greet all the club members, the last boyish girl with a short cut to talk to me was my best friend, Sonohara Yuri-chan.

 

「You've never been late for anything, so that's great. You've skipped a lot of classes, though.」

「I'm not skipping out!」

 

When I deliberately puffed out my cheeks to show that I was angry, Yuri-chan pinched my cheeks with her fingers and I let out a silly sound.

I laughed, and Yuri-chan started to laugh as well.

 

Yuri-chan didn't really mean to say “skipping out” either, it's just the kind of communication that can only happen when I'm on good terms with someone that I don't really care about it!

 

「Ah— I'm tired.」

「Ahaha, you're still dead on days when you have morning practice. Good morning.」

 

I was lounging on my desk after morning practice when a girl with glasses sitting in front of me spoke to me.

This girl is my best friend and class president, Shirayuki Miho-chan! There's quite a bit of time between the end of morning practice and the start of morning homeroom, but Miho-chan always comes in early to do her committee chair duties! It's amazing!

 

「Morning— Hmm? Did something good happen?」

 

Miho is always smiling, but today I feel like she's smiling even more than ever! She's smiling for 120% now!

 

「Oh, you get it, right? Actually, the Witch pickup gacha was held yesterday and I got the SSR Lazy Lady. She's also cute and strong～ That's what they call human rights～ I'd like to get Permafrost or Red Ball for the offensive side, but I've already used up all the rocks I've saved up, and I'm wondering if I should spend my allowance on them or not.」

「Miho-chan really likes Magical Girls, aren't you?」

「Of course I do! They're so pretty and strong! I mean, how can you not be excited by this! I'm sure Chisaki-chan will understand when she starts playing Magical Girl Wars. Of course I don't want to force you to try it, but if you are even a little bit interested, I think it's a good idea to give it a try. The illustrations of the Magical Girls are cute, but so are the real ones. Because they are cute and the game system is not bad.」

 

I like to see Miho talking happily about magical girls, and I like Magical Girls too, but as I said, I would be a little embarrassed to play a game in which I appear.

 

While I was listening to Miho-chan's story, it was homeroom time, class started, lunch came, afternoon class, and then after school.

 

「Chisaki— I'll go to club activities!」

「Yeah! I'll wait for you!」

 

Yuri was in a different class and seemed to finish homeroom a bit before our class.

I was about to hurry up and pack up my stuff and leave the classroom, when the magiphone I had tucked away in my bag started playing loudly.

Notification of the occurrence of a Diest. A special alarm that only magical girls can recognize. Everyone continues to get ready to go home and chat as if nothing is wrong.

 

Every time I see a scene like this, I think to myself. I was lost that day, but in the end I'm glad I became a Magical Girl. Because most people are unable to recognize the wonders of Diest. Only when the damage begins to occur do they finally realize the danger that looms so close at hand.

I want to protect. My precious friends and family. If that's all I can do!

 

「Sorry, Yuri-chan! I've got some errands to run, so I might not be able to make it today!」

「Ah— Then I guess it can't be helped. Come to me when you get this—」

 

As Jack taught me in the beginning. Any action related to your activities as a Magical Girl will not be questioned. It is believed unconditionally and is not maligned.

I know it's not good for me either that I'm having to skip the club activities I started, but I'm putting a lid on that feeling for now.

 

「Transfer Coordinates: Deception World, Sakira Town, Section-A.」

 

「Kick them to the curb!」

 

With the transition, my transformation is complete!

The Diest informed by notification is the Knight class. Normally I would be the only one who could take them down, but now that we're in an emergency situation, I think they're probably calling Blade and Press too.

And maybe Sylph-chan will come, too. If we could fight together, maybe we could talk a little?

 

I don't know, but I have to find the Diest anyway!

 

「Power Of Elephant!」

 

With a, big jump!

 

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

At night it's hard to find the pitch black Diest, but at this time of night it's easy to spot it from above! I'm so smart～!

 

「I've found it!」

 

And someone is already fighting!

I have to hurry!

 

As soon as I land, dash as fast as I can!

Magical girls don't tire that easily!

It would be so much easier to do morning practice if I could do it in my magical girl state.

 

「You're in the way!」

 

Break through the wall and go in a straight line. It won't affect reality anyway, so this is the fastest way to get there in the shortest amount of time!

 

I saw a Magical Girl fighting! An unfamiliar, Magical Girl in an outfit that looks like something someone in a church would wear in a history textbook. It's Sylph-chan!

 

Considering how strong Sylph-chan was the last time I saw her, a Knight class should be a twist. That means the fight isn't over yet, so is she dealing with a new strain of Diest?

 

「I'll join you!」

「I'm alright.」

 

Ehh!?

 

I wouldn't have bothered to say that if Blade or Press were fighting, but in case you're wondering, I called out to her while running, as Jack had taught me as part of the Magical Girl etiquette, and she refused. Why!?

 

I was ready to help even before I got the understanding, so my body kept moving. I didn't expect them to say no, so I'm stepping toward the Diest as fast as I can.

 

If I stop now, I'll lose my balance. I don't think I can avoid or defend against Diest attacks.

What's done is done. I'll apologize later, but I'm going to fight with all my might here.

 

「I'm so sorry!!」

 

With apologies to Sylph-chan, I launched my fist at the gorilllike silhouette of the Diest.

I don't think it will be an effective strike either, since Sylph-chan does such a struggling foe. At best, it was a check. If only Sylph could use her powerful magic while I hold them off…!

 

「Eh?」

 

The Diest that took my punch easily scattered and disappeared.

 

Eh? Eh? Wasn't this a very strong Diest? Even if it was a regular Knight class, I couldn't take this out with a single blow…

 

Don't tell me!

 

「Did I suddenly become so strong!?」

「Definitely not–ran.」

 

This distinctive, odd end-phrase!

 

「Jack!」

「Elephant, now that is bad manners–ran. I'm sure you didn't mean it, but the result is the same as when Tyrant Sylph sidestepped the weakened Diest–ran.」

「Ugh, I'm sorry.」

 

I see, Sylph had weakened it. No wonder it was so easy to defeat it. Jack is right, it's like I just took the best part.

Sylph-chan, who was approaching before I knew it, was also musing and seemed to be in a hearty mood…

 

The grumpy-looking Sylph-chan is cute, too.

 

「I'm really sorry, Sylph-chan. I wasn't thinking of taking it over, but I jumped the gun and said I had to help…」

 

Uuughh, I thought I might be able to make friends with Sylph-chan, but what am I doing! This sounds like an excuse, and I hope I didn't offend her too much… I'm starting to feel like she's staring at me…

Come to think of it, we haven't even introduced ourselves yet! I only know her one way, Sylph-chan, and she don't necessarily know me either.

 

「I am Magical Girl, Elephant. In case you're wondering, I'm a Magical Girl in this town…」

 

Uuughh, Is she still mad at me…?

 

Oh, that's right! I've got a good idea!

「I'll buy you dinner in the Magical World to make up for it! I know a great place! I haven't even thanked you for saving my life the other day!」

 

I don't go to the Magical World very often, so I don't know what level that coffee shop is at in the Magical World, but I do know that it was good, so it doesn't matter!

 

「…It's not necessary. Just give me information about the store. And please don't get involved with me in the future.」

「Haguu!」

 

Eh, wait a second.

This girl…

Her cute voice is amazing! I was so focused on the fight earlier that I didn't have time to pay attention, but the sweet, lisping, yet somehow tall talker was so cute! She's super duper cute! She look like she's still in early elementary school, yet so solid and adorable! But she's also adorable when it comes to good food! She was cute without talking, but hearing her voice doubles her cuteness!

 

I couldn't help but hold my chest and make strange noises because she was so adorable!

 

「H–Hey, what's going on? Are you all right?」

 

Ahhhhh. She was too kind to worry about me when she told me not to get involved!

There's a reason for that, isn't there? She's really a good, kind-hearted girl, but she's trying to keep other people away from her because of her circumstances.

 

I will protect her. No, I must protect her!

 

「Sylph-chan! I'll tell you about the store and I'd love to get your Magiphone's contact info.」

「Eh… Just give me the name of the restaurant.」

「It's some kind of difficult foreign language that I can't pronounce. I'll send your Magiphone the URL of the store.」

「O–Okay then, I'm going home.」

「Wait!」

 

Quickly, I grabbed Sylph's arm and held her back.

I have to tell her this.

 

「I'd like to be friends with Sylph-chan.」

 

I looked straight into Sylph-chan's eyes and makes a serious appeal.

But Sylph-chan shook off my hand with a somewhat frightened expression.

 

「I–I'm fine. Like I said before, please don't ever get involved with me again.」

 

Ahh! Sylph-chan has transferred and left.

Hmmm, I wonder if she doesn't want to get involved with other people that much? Or maybe she don't want to get involved with other Magical Girls?

 

But I can't leave her alone!

I'm sure Sylph-chan doesn't like to keep others away either, and I wish I could be of some help…
