Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

"Thank you for your hard work, Shizuki-kun." Kumari Kinro handed a cup of freshly brewed oolong tea to Shizuki Soujuro. After seeing Soujuro take the tea, she immediately ran to pour a cup for Tsukisuka Tobimaru, and finally the red-haired girl who was suspected to be the student union president.

"Thank you."

Kusajuro didn't care that Kumari Golden Deer had left. He just followed the rules in his mind.

My grandfather once said that when you accept someone’s kindness, you should express your gratitude. This is the secret of human beings living in groups.

After finishing his work, Kusajuro sat in the student union's general affairs seat, took out the study materials and notebooks from his schoolbag, and started his new day of catching up.

Time flies, and more than two months have passed since he left the deep mountains and old forests. Since entering school, Shizuki Sojuro has been living a hard life, both in terms of part-time work and study.

Fortunately, there are very good people in school and the store where he works part-time, so Kusagirou doesn't fall behind due to lack of experience.

He was already very satisfied with this, because Soujuro understood that those people were not helping him out of any debt, but were helping him purely out of kindness, for which Soujuro was very grateful.

At this time, the only sounds in the student union office were the turning of pages and the sound of pens writing on paper.

---Dividing line---

About half an hour later, Qingzi exhaled and threw the pen into the pen holder beside her.

"It's all done," Qingzi said, leaning back in her office chair, her fingers crossed. "This side was approved, and the other side was rejected."

"So fast?!" Tsukiji Tobimaru couldn't believe it. He quickly stood up to check Aoko's work results, in case the student council president was lazy and muddled through.

However, when he checked each document one by one, he found that each of these application documents had received detailed instructions, and those rejected application forms all had very reasonable reasons for rejection written on them, which left no room for fault.

Tsukiji Tobimaru couldn't help but admire in his heart, he was really impressed by Aozaki Aoko.

Although she was often absent, she always managed to maintain the best test scores in the school. And now it seems that her academic performance was definitely not obtained by cutting corners. We can get a glimpse of this from the fact that Aozaki Aoko was able to handle these application forms in such an efficient manner.

What is even more amazing is that such a guy with enviable talents is also very handsome. God is so unfair.

This is what Tsukiji Tobimaru thought in his heart.

If Aoko knew what Tsukiji Toimaru was thinking, she would laugh at him for being so out of touch with reality.

Because Tsukiji Toimaru himself is also a child of a wealthy family, he is a typical "beneficiary of God's favor." Although the Tsukiji family's influence in Misaki is not as great as the Kuonji family, it is also a well-known financial group ranked in the first echelon.

However, Tsukiji Tobimaru himself was a bastard, a so-called illegitimate child. When he was a child, his family situation was not very good, and he was bullied and excluded by his brothers and sisters.

However, because Tsukiji Toimaru was indeed a ruthless person, he was eventually recognized by the head of the Tsukiji family as the next heir to the family consortium through his continuous efforts and natural talents.

From then on, the brothers and sisters who had previously excluded Tsukiji Toimaru began to treat him with fear and avoidance, which made Tsukiji Toimaru have a very cold personality when he first entered high school, and he was also one of the most famous cold-faced handsome guys in the school.

The current Tsukiji Tobimaru has become more approachable, at least he is not the guy who looked down on others before. He can also empathize with a kid from the mountains like Shizuki Sojuro and run over to help as much as possible, which is really touching!

So who made Tsukiji Tobimaru able to understand the situation of ordinary people?

Aoko blinked her eyes, completely unable to remember the tearful accusations of some boys who had confessed their love to her but were ruthlessly rejected by her and then humiliated in public. Tsukiji, who had witnessed the miserable state of his seniors when he first entered high school, was extremely shocked.

It doesn’t matter, it can’t be me, haha.

Chapter 30 Trap

Qingzi, who was sitting in the student union office, suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the window.

She stood up and looked outside, noticing a group of male students hiding in the shadows at the school gate, making it much busier than usual.

What are these monkeys doing? Qingzi frowned and thought, she squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and found the reason.

It was a young girl standing in the middle of the road at the school gate.

She was wearing a black cloak and underneath it a set of clothes that looked very much like a nun's uniform.

Of course Qingzi recognized this outfit, because it was the school uniform of the famous academy for rich ladies, Reien Girls' Academy. She looked closely and saw that it was Youzhu.

Why is Yuzu coming to Misaki High School now?

Of course the boys in Misaki would be attracted to such a girl named Aritsu. Firstly, because the reputation of Reien's prestigious school for young ladies was too loud, and secondly, the pitiful look of Aritsu standing in the middle of the road was too adorable. At first glance, she looked like a person who had walked out of a painting.

"What a bunch of idiots," Aoko cursed in a low voice while staring at the school gate, "Tsukiji, Kumari, I'll leave the rest to you. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Before the other members of the student council could react, Aoko grabbed her jacket and motorcycle helmet and strode out of the office.

---Dividing line---

"Hey, is that the student council president?!"

"She dyed her hair red, so scary...Will she eat that girl?"

"What do you mean by dyed her hair red? Hasn't she always had red hair?"

"Is she trying to chase that girl away? She's such a heartless person. That girl is so pitiful—"

Qingzi glared at the boys at the door, and they immediately scattered. Then she put on her helmet, drove her motorcycle from the parking shed nearby, and parked it next to Youzhu.

"Get in the car." Qingzi pointed to the seat behind her with her thumb, motioning Youzhu to sit down.

Arizuma's Reien uniform didn't allow her to sit astride, so she could only sit sideways on the back seat of Aoko's motorcycle like a witch, then stretched out her slender arms and hugged Aoko's waist.

"well?!--"

Seeing this, the boys wailed, as if something was broken.

Aozaki Aoko looked straight ahead, twisted the throttle of the Interceptor, released the clutch lever, and the whole motorcycle immediately took off, raising a cloud of dust, and sped away in front of many of Misaki's students.

"Damn it, can't this woman Aozaki Aoko leave a little bit of dream in our high school life?!"

...That's how the boys wailed. Tsukiji Tobimaru, who was standing by the office window, heard it and sighed, then closed the window and returned to his seat.

"...You are very popular in school, Aoko." Youzhu said to Aoko while sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle.

"How did you know that?" Qingzi asked, "I'm usually absent, how could I be popular?"

"...Why didn't you kill the male student who had contact with Orange?" Youzhu answered the question irrelevantly and questioned Qingzi in a cold tone.

"Who?" Qingzi pretended to be ignorant and thought for a while, then answered, "Are you talking about the unlucky guy who I hinted at?"

"You are not a novice anymore, so you should understand the secret principles of magicians, right?" Youzhu continued to ask relentlessly. Qingzi felt the pressure from Youzhu on her abdomen.

"I have deleted the relevant memories of that guy," Qingzi said in a relaxed tone, "If you insist, I can control him to commit suicide now, okay?"

The wind from the motorcycle speeding on the road blew their hair into a mess. Youzhu stretched out a hand and tidied up her hair a little, but did not respond to Qingzi's words immediately.

"... whatever you want," Yuju said, "just don't mention my name if you get in trouble."

Hearing Youzhu's reply, Qingzi, who was wearing a motorcycle helmet, smiled as if she had heard something happy.

"Let's go have a drink at Dawn, Arizuma," Aoko asked, "You found something, right?"

"Yes," Youzhu admitted, "I'll talk about it in detail later."

---Dividing line---

Sitting in the coffee shop, Aoko and Youzhu each savored the coffee that the waiter had just served them.

Youzhu took a sip of the espresso she ordered. Beneath the mellow taste provided by the thick coffee oil was a little bit of bitter extract.

She looked up at Aoko, who was still adding sugar to her caramel macchiato spoonful by spoonful, making one wonder if this guy would get sick from excessive sugar addiction.

"You really like sweet taste, you," Youzhu couldn't help but complain, "Are you a child?"

“Life is bitter, so I like sweetness.”

Saying these wise words that he had copied from somewhere, Qingzi picked up the coffee, took a big sip, and then hummed with satisfaction.

"I found a trap," Youzhu said as he placed the coffee on the table, "It looks like it's trying to lure us in."

"Ah?" Qingzi said with a surprised expression, "What trap? Is Orange crazy? Do you think you can trick us like this?"

"KistyLand," Youzhu said an English name, "Have you heard of it?"

"Ah, I know," Qingzi recalled after taking another sip of coffee, "Isn't it the amusement park that closed down and was abandoned a few years ago due to poor management?"

"Yes," Youzhu nodded and said, "It's right there."

"You mean Orange placed the trap there?" Aoko recalled doubtfully. In her 'previous life', as long as she and Yuzu hadn't fallen out over Shizuki Sojuro, there was no need to go to this place. "Is there anything special there? I don't remember any spiritual vein nodes or anything like that."

The table of Youzhu and Qingzi has been separated by an ingenious suggestion magic barrier, so at this moment any information about the magic will not leak out and be heard by ordinary customers.

"...That place is my magic testing ground," Youzhu explained, "I once set up an exit of the Nap Mirror there, and a PLOY to guard the mirror, but now they are all hijacked by Orange."

Aoko understood why Yuzu thought the abandoned amusement park was a good place. Yuzu's fairy tale magic was based on various fairy tales produced in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, and KistyLand was an artificial paradise created by humans and then abandoned by humans. This is what the so-called fossil of fairy tales is like.

Some PLOY with beads can exert 200% effect in this place.

"It seems that Orange wants to eliminate the fighting power around me first," Qingzi sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Yuzu, I dragged you into this this time."

"...It doesn't matter," Youzhu shook her head, not angry at all, "It seems that Chengzi has forgotten my ability. I need to make her remember it well this time."

Chapter 31 Shopping

In the coffee shop, he and Youzhu carefully discussed the strategy of luring Orange to come out in person.

Aoko's plan is to go on her own and defeat all of Orange's obstacles head-on. By then, Orange will definitely be so angry that he will run out to fight Aoko.

Youzhu disagrees with this plan because it involves her property, so Youzhu wants to turn the entire amusement park into an alien world, so that if Orange hides somewhere in the amusement park, she will find her immediately and catch her.

...

Isn’t this as lonely as myself?

Qingzi thought with a headache, forgetting that Youzhu was a lone ranger like himself, and they actually wanted to fight each other on the initial version of the plan to deal with the orange trap, with no sign of cooperation at all.

But she thought about it carefully and decided that this was not a bad idea. Chengzi was generally a very calm person unless he got too excited. Their goal was to make Chengzi get excited and come out on his own. So it made sense to let Youzhu go alone while they ambush him on the side.

To this end, Qingzi took out a teleportation scroll that she had previously created at the cost of a 5th-level spell slot. As long as Orange appeared or Youzhu was in danger, she would immediately rush to the scene and launch a sacred beating.

After the general plan was decided, Qingzi briefly talked to Youzhu about it. Youzhu was silent for a while, then was a little surprised that Qingzi could perform the space transfer technique, and then asked her if this was part of the fifth magic?

"Not really," Aoko explained, "Although the fifth magic can do something similar, the overall cost is too different, and it is completely not cost-effective."

After getting Aoko's answer, Youzhu said he could accept it.

The time was set for tonight. KistyLand was relatively close to this "Dawn" and Misaki High School, which was why Yuzu found Aoko's school for the first time today.

However, Aoko guessed that it might be because Azuma was a little curious about Aoko's high school, because she had once told Azuma some interesting things about Misaki High School, which aroused the girl's curiosity?

The specific time of the action was set after 11 o'clock tonight.
