Chapter 237: Be Positive in Everything
It was very windy today.
The clouds were flowing, and the silver moon arc was leaning against the horizon.
The moonlight that fell on the sky and earth reflected the girl in red.
The girl stared at me seriously with her blue gem-like pupils.
"Listen carefully, I will tell you something very important next."
"Next you will become a magical girl and collect [Class Cards]."
She said this in a stern voice.
"——"
I couldn't make a sound.
Because there were too many things happening, I was a little overwhelmed.
But this was the only thing I understood deeply.
I seemed to be involved in a very troublesome matter.
————
"I knock!"
"It hurts!" With a scream, Illya, who was lying on the desk, woke up suddenly, covering the back of her head and raised her head.
"Um, be careful not to doze off in class!" The English class teacher Fujimura Taiga, also known as the famous 'Tiger of Fuyuki', was standing in front of Illya, with his hands on his hips, full of majesty.
"Sorry..." Illya's pitiful apology caused the classmates to laugh, and the classroom was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Seeing Illya apologize obediently, Fuyuki Tiger let her go with satisfaction and continued the lecture, while Illya also sat in her seat, resisting sleepiness and listening carefully.
In fact, Illya can't be blamed for dozing off in class. Who made her be fooled by the Ruby Wand into turning into a magical girl last night, and was instilled with a lot of knowledge by Ruby's former owner Sister Rin?
Because of Sakutsuki's forgetfulness magic and Ruby's (forced) concealment, Illya didn't know what kind of disaster the bathroom had experienced a few minutes ago. Even so, Ruby still tried every means to authenticate Illya's information and forcibly bound her to become the new owner.
And just when Illya turned into a magical girl and ran out "naked", the "middle-aged magical girl" called by Ruby, that is, its original owner, Rin Tosaka, happened to follow the magic track and came to the door.
After a tense and intense exchange, Rin Tohsaka had to admit the fact that Illya was bound to the ruby, and returned to the bedroom with her to briefly talk about the class card.
[Let me first tell you the conclusion. We came to this city to recycle the cards according to the instructions of the clock tower. ]
[I see, so Rin-sister is a kind of unknown bomb disposal organization that secretly removes bombs placed in the city? ]
[… This is a brand new metaphor, but it’s almost right, I’m a little unwilling. ]
[Well, that’s about it, and this stupid wand is the key item for removing class cards. But since she recognizes you as her master now, at least before I successfully convince it, you have to help me recycle the cards - you have to be prepared. ]
[Ha... Eh!!! ]
“Ding dong ding dong…” The bell for the end of get out of class rang, successfully making Illya realize that she was distracted again.
“Alas.” She held her head and sighed helplessly.
It is said that girls have a lot of worries, but the things she worries about are too strange.
To be honest, she just wanted the magic of love at first!
It was lunch time, and Illya and her good friends put their desks together and took out their lunch boxes to eat.
"Illya actually dozed off, it's really rare, is it because of lack of sleep?"
"Well... I was thinking about something last night. '6' '9' 's' 'h' 'u' 'x' '.' 'c' 'o' 'm'"
"Thinking about something?"
"Are you worried about anything?"
"Compared to this kind of thing, I'll play dodgeball after dinner!"
"I really envy you for having no worries."
"No, I'm not worried about anything, but my thoughts can't keep up with the pace of reality... or the facts are more sudden than animation."
"Ha... Although I don't quite understand it, it's really hard for you."
"Yeah." Illya laughed.
A magical girl.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the cute and girlish outfit she transformed into last night, as well as the strange energy flowing in her body.
I haven't really experienced it yet, but I seem to have really been involved in this adventure.
However, I still feel a little excited... right.
In anxiety and anticipation, Illya finally waited until school was over. While her friends were still playing, she had already packed her schoolbag and ran downstairs.
"I can't stand it. Is school finally over?" Ruby, who had been lying in the schoolbag, poked her head out, "It's so boring to stay in the schoolbag all the time."
"Haha, sorry." Illya jumped down the stairs, holding her hat, and ran downstairs without stopping.
"By the way, Ruby, tell me how to use magic."
"Yes, I can. But why do you ask me this all of a sudden, Illya? You were so reluctant last night."
"It's a rare opportunity, so I want to enjoy it. It turns out that you have to be positive in everything."
Illya said this and opened the shoe cabinet.
————
"Ah, it turns out that you have to be positive in everything."
In the room with the health room sign, the white-haired and golden-eyed boy was watching the scene in the magic projection with interest.
At this time, he was no longer wearing the boring priest's clothes, but a white coat. The wide robe on him made him look like a little kid: "In the end, I still can't escape the law of true fragrance, Illya-chan."
"Children are really energetic." Karin, who also changed into a white coat with a lace jabot embroidered on her chest, sat on a chair and said casually.
Because Sakutsuki had reported Illya's acquisition of the magic wand to the church, the target of the supervisor naturally shifted from Tosaka Rin to Illya, and the base was also moved to the health room.
"I have been living an ordinary elementary school student until now, but suddenly I got a fantasy-style magic wand and had the possibility of becoming a magical girl. How can I not be excited about such a thing?"
"You sound a little envious?
"Yes, I do envy it, but not because of the magical girl, but because of the joy that children feel when they encounter new things. I also have such memories, but my feelings no longer respond to me. "
Watching Illya running, Shuoyue leaned back in his chair, curling his lips helplessly.
"I still remember that I would be surprised by the candy box full of chocolates, feel comfortable because of the beautiful songs playing at the wedding, and feel joy because the sun shines on the mountains in front of me... But now, these precious feelings are as boring as the records written on A4 paper. "
"Perhaps the longer people live, the more mature they become, and the better they are at hiding their emotions... But it's not good to rot. Rot will only attract insects and flies, and it's impossible to have anything more. "
"Is this why you want to keep this attitude? Karen glanced at the child-like Shuoyue, and said meaningfully, "Trying to examine something in the past?"
"No... No, maybe I do have such an idea in my subconscious, but it's more because this form has higher growth potential. Haha, maybe every teenager who shouts about bondage and love will become a boring guy who likes to care about gains and losses."
"Ding!" The health pot next to him was steaming, and the rich porridge fragrance dispersed the smell of disinfectant in the health room.
"Oh, the porridge is ready." Shuoyue hooked his finger, and Kato Danzo appeared like a ghost, picked up the health pot, poured out the medicinal food that Shuoyue carefully cooked, and handed the bowl to Karen.
"Drink it, don't worry, considering someone's taste, I put a lot of brown sugar."
"Tsk." Although she expressed her dissatisfaction blatantly, Karen still frowned and drank the medicinal porridge obediently.
It's not a question of whether it tastes good or not, but facing Shuoyue's care, Karen instinctively felt uncomfortable and even felt like escaping.
In her life, no one had ever done this to her, and this strange feeling made Kallen almost at a loss.
But she couldn't change her mind at all. Danzo was watching quietly beside her.
At this moment, Sakutsuki looked at Illya on the magic screen, who was excited and reaching for the envelope in the shoe cabinet with trembling hands. Looking at her steaming cheeks, he couldn't help but laugh.
"I really look forward to her expression after she finds out that this is Rin's threatening letter. Oh, no matter what happens, you have to be positive, Illya~~"
I don't know if it was intentional or not, when Rin Tohsaka pointed at Illya and said "Next you will become a magical girl", Illya and Rin Tohsaka's position and composition were exactly the same as when Shirou Emiya summoned Saber.
