“At present, Lady Grace is doing most of the teaching by herself, is that right?
If there is a way to reduce that burden, I thought the efficiency would improve.”

At my words, the Demon King’s gaze and Lady Grace’s stabbed into me.
…Dorothea’s gentle gaze was a balm, truly.

“That is certainly so, but what do you mean to do?
Will you devise some ingenuity in the manner of teaching?”
“As for the manner of teaching itself, I have hardly enough to speak of, so that is a little difficult…
But in a sense, it is the manner of teaching, yes.”

I answered the Demon King’s question with a small laugh.
The only teaching I have done is cram-school tutoring as a side job, after all.
But this sort of place, too, I think is as one would expect of them.

“What is this, making such a show of it. You tease.”
“Is it not because Your Majesty is meddling?”

Dorothea put in a tsukkomi, smiling and without mercy, at the Demon King, who was a little sulky.
No, I did make a bit of a show of it, so I am somewhat sorry. Continue reading →

The day after the vampire subjugation, Romulus Castle.
Many nobles, ministers, and knights had gathered in the audience chamber.

King Zenon sat on the throne, a mild smile on his face.
Where his gaze fell, three girls were on their knees.
Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha.

“Charlotte, Olivia, Natasha. Your service in this vampire subjugation was admirable.”

In a solemn air, King Zenon’s voice rang out.

“Thanks to you, peace has returned to the town of Romulus. On behalf of the country, I convey our gratitude.”

He rose from the throne and walked up to the three of them.

“You did well, Charlotte. Olivia and Natasha, I thank you for helping my daughter as well.”

“Father…” Continue reading →

11 Magical Girl, One Year On

A year has passed since I became a magical girl, and a new summer has come.
I had my birthday on March 30 and turned ten, but as of July some of my classmates are already eleven, which is unfair.
It’s still eight months before I turn eleven.
But from the summer I became a magical girl, in this one year, I’ve fought all kinds of magical beasts, youkai, ghosts, and things hostile to people.
I’ve met magical girls from other places, and fought together with them too.
There aren’t many magical girls.
The magical girls I’ve met are five or so, at most.
A lot, and not a lot.
I’ve even met a magical girl from overseas, just once.
As a perk of becoming a magical girl, being able to understand overseas languages helped.
I mean, I don’t understand foreign languages, and I can’t speak them either.
But the Cat God used a magic circle and made it so I can understand foreign languages.
Of course I can speak foreign languages too, and I can even read foreign writing, and write it.
This applies in ordinary times as well.
I feel like I’m cheating somehow, but I’m risking danger to fight, so I think it’s all right to have this much of a benefit.
The other day I even went to see a foreign movie with subtitles.
I can follow the movie without looking at the subtitles.
It felt a little like I’d become a grown-up. Continue reading →

10 Magical Girl Meets Bears

I come to the mountains to defeat a bear that has become a magical beast.
The season is winter.
Snow is piled on the mountains.
But I’m not cold.
The magical girl outfit doesn’t only defend; it protects you from heat and cold too.
My legs and arms and face are showing, but it’s strange that I’m not cold.
Incidentally, you can protect yourself from heat and cold by covering your body with mana as well.
Lately I’ve been wrapping myself in mana when I go to school.
I’m not cold, so it helps.

And when I arrive at the mountains, Dad calls, and I can pick up.
By then the phone charge has gone up to 50%.
I put the phone away in the Extra-dimensional Box.

“So, where’s the bear?”
“That way.”

I follow the Cat God flying through the sky.
Then there it is: the bear I was looking for, tainted by miasma and turned vicious.
If this bear came to where people are, there would definitely be damage.
I use magic and fight the vicious bear.
The bear’s eyes are red, its fangs bared, and it comes at me.
The bear slashes the magic I loose with its claws.

“Strong.” Continue reading →

“First, to learn that much content, there would never be enough time.
In other words, in the world you were in, children applied themselves to study and hardly worked. Is that wrong?”
“It is as you say.
To be precise, having children work was restricted by law.”
“I see. I could not imagine going that far… but I also accept it.”

Lady Grace nodded at my answer, looking convinced.
That’s how it is. In Japan, children did not need to work.

“In other words, there was no need to have children work.
That much surplus could be held in production and the like.”

I can only say, as expected.
Lady Grace probably understands that as well.
Yes. That world could turn society on adults’ labor alone.
That there happened to be an industrial revolution, and mechanical civilization developed after that, had something to do with it, I suppose.
I am not so much a romantic as to think the ideal of not having children work came first.
But when surplus arose, that they did not take children as labor is something I wish to pay respect to.

…Well, around the industrial revolution there is also a history of working children hard in coalfields and factories, because they could be put into narrow places. Continue reading →

Sunlight peeked over the horizon.
Scattered by the light, dust in the air began to glitter.

The town lit by the morning glow had become a different place in a single night.
Cobblestones crumbled to ruin by the aftershock of the fight.
The outer wall of Romulus Academy was deeply gouged by annihilation magic.

And Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha, covered in wounds, battered.
All three sat limp on the ground.

The early-morning town was still. House doors opened one after another.
With sunrise the ban on going out at night was lifted, and the citizens of Romulus came outside. Continue reading →

9 Magical Girl Is Asked to Subjugate a Bear

About half a year has passed since I became a magical girl.
Since I saved Dad from the curse, he hasn’t been cursed, for now.
He’s working in good health.
And as for me, I’ve kept being a magical girl.
The biggest reason is that Dad might be cursed again later.

The first time I saw magical beasts, youkai, and ghosts, I was scared.
But I saw them attacking people.
People can’t do anything, get attacked by a magical beast, and get hurt. In the worst case, they die.
Even if you take one down with a hunting rifle, it just moves to another animal. Nothing is solved.
If a magical girl doesn’t defeat them, the damage spreads.

I’ve told the Cat God we should just make more magical girls, but there aren’t many girls with the aptitude to become one.
And as he said at the start, it isn’t only having mana. Personality matters too.
So there aren’t many girls who can become magical girls.
If I quit being a magical girl, I’d be making other magical girls do the things I don’t like.
And I don’t know when Dad might be cursed again.
If I didn’t have a magical girl’s power then, I couldn’t save him.
That’s why I keep being a magical girl. Continue reading →

While I wet my throat with the tea Dorothea had brewed, we waited a while for Lady Grace to write down what I had said so far.
…In that time, the Demon King grumbled a while at the tea Dorothea had brewed.

“Now then, that is rest enough.
Please continue.”

Lady Grace announced it again.
So I nodded as well.

“Yes. As you will.
As for the contents of education at each stage… from elementary through higher education, the headings themselves do not change greatly.”
“Is that so? …I see. For continuity, to build up, I take it.”
“As expected of your insight.”

Well, to be precise I did not study education as a specialty, so I do not know if that is truly so.
But as a person who received education, I think so.

“That said, it is only of the era I received.
The education given to commoners still earlier was so-called reading, writing, and calculation.”

There is no abacus in this world, so I adapted it a little.
I might introduce the abacus to this world.
…Huh? Come to think of it…?? Continue reading →

“Mm. That’s enough!”

Lady Ulrika had appeared all of a sudden.
She was holding Bram’s Demon Claw at bay with one hand, easily.

“Lottie! Livi! Sasha! All three of you did well!!”

Lady Ulrika turned and smiled at them.

“Leave the rest to me…”

Then she turned a sharp gaze on Bram.
In those eyes was a quiet, deep killing intent.

“…What are you?” Continue reading →

8 Magical Girl Saves Her Father

After I killed the crow tainted by miasma, I ended up in a feeling I couldn’t put into words.
The Cat God told me, “Try thinking of it as defeating, not killing.”
The words are similar, but killing and defeating are different.
I switch my feelings.
I tell myself I can fight.
From now on I have to fight as a magical girl.
And more than anything, I have to save Dad.
I can tell my heart is gradually settling.

“Ordinary girls cry, or they hate it, but you’re different.”
“So, with this, can I save Dad?”
“I still think it’s early. But stopping you looks pointless.”

I know Dad is suffering.
I want to save him even a little sooner.

“Well then, tonight, let’s save your dad.”

I can finally save Dad. Continue reading →
