"I'll play the bullied girl, Natsuki will play the bad guy, and Juju-sama will play the magical girl who saves me." Marin Kitagawa gave a thumbs up, "Plan complete."
"It feels a bit fake…" Juju-sama said hesitantly in a low voice, "Will it be useless?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"We'll know if it's useful by trying it."
After saying that, Amamiya Natsuki put down the water glass in his hand, got up and walked in front of Marin Kitagawa, then suddenly reached out and pushed the girl's shoulder.
Bang.
Marin Kitagawa fell backward onto the sofa.
"You ambushed and bit me just now when I wasn't paying attention." Amamiya Natsuki said, reaching for his belt, his voice quickly deepening, revealing evil, "Uncle, I'm really angry…"
"S-Sorry." Marin Kitagawa blinked, quickly covered her chest and skirt, like a helpless girl who had stumbled into a wolf's den, her body nervously recoiling, her voice timid and flustered, "I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me!"
"If apologies worked, what would we need the police for?" Amamiya Natsuki's voice was cold and merciless. He bent down and grabbed the girl's jade feet, encased in black stockings, "Only pain can make people remember, so, use your body to fully experience the pain that's coming."
"No, no, no." Marin Kitagawa kept shaking her head, "This is the only pair of stockings I have at home. If they get dirty, I won't be able to go to school tomorrow."
"…"
Juju-sama was dumbfounded.
H-How amazing!
You two are too good at acting!
Especially that line, 'Uncle, I'm really angry,' a simple line that instantly made people imagine all sorts of terrible scenes, full of immersion.
If she hadn't known beforehand that they were acting, someone hiding in the dark and eavesdropping would probably have believed it, truly thinking it was a greasy middle-aged uncle bullying a poor, helpless, fragile girl.
"Juju-sama, save me!"
Marin Kitagawa resisted with her feet while reaching out to the pink-haired girl for help.
As for teary eyes… she really couldn't cry.
It was already good enough that she could hold back her laughter and cooperate with the acting.
"Hmph…"
Juju-sama silently clenched her pink fists and took a deep breath, knowing it was her turn to make an entrance.
In a performance with three people, she couldn't drag them down.
"Stop!"
Juju-sama took half a step forward, pointed her magical girl wand at Amamiya Natsuki, her small face quickly reddening, and whispered, "L-Let go of that girl."
Marin Kitagawa suggested, "Juju-sama, you can speak louder, with more presence, to gain the upper hand."
No.
I can't do it.
Juju-sama already had the urge to cover her face.
Saying magical girl lines loudly, no matter how she thought about it, was too embarrassing.
Sure enough, she had already graduated from the chuunibyou stage of life, hadn't she?
"Oh, it's Magical Girl Meruru." Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow, squeezed Marin's sole, causing the golden-haired girl to let out a low 'ah', and then said, "You magical girls are just like those police officers, always late… Today, I'll let you know how severe the consequences of being one step late are."
"Eh?"
"Put down your weapon."
Amamiya Natsuki commanded, "Otherwise, I'll kill the hostage in my hand. Marin's life is now in your hands."
Juju-sama's pink cheeks puffed out: "H-He's threatening me?!"
"As an evil villain, it's perfectly normal for me to use innocent civilians to threaten a magical girl, isn't it?"
Amamiya Natsuki replied righteously.
With all due respect.
Those villains who grab hostages, escape to other places, and then wait for magical girls to find them and defeat them are all idiots.
"I…"
Juju-sama's small face showed a conflicted expression.
"Juju-sama, save me." Marin Kitagawa continued to play the role of the frail girl, pleading pitifully, "I still want to eat tomorrow's yakisoba bread."
The pink-haired girl hesitated for two seconds, then put down her magical wand.
If she were a true magical girl, she definitely wouldn't disregard the lives of innocent bystanders, so she could only obey the evil villain's command.
"Very good." Amamiya Natsuki nodded in satisfaction, then commanded, "Take off your stockings."
"Eh?"
"Tie your hands with the stockings."
"…"
Juju-sama hadn't spoken yet, but Marin Kitagawa was already protesting.
"Too much." The golden-haired girl lightly kicked Amamiya Natsuki, "That's too much bullying."
Amamiya Natsuki squeezed the sole of Marin's foot, making Marin let out a low 'ah', then slowly said:
"If you encountered a real villain, it wouldn't just be Juju taking off her stockings, but all her clothes."
"During practice, you should simulate all situations and find countermeasures from them."
"For example, now."
Amamiya Natsuki extended a finger and continued:
"Juju can feign compliance, obey my orders, and then, when I become complacent, she can ambush me from behind and defeat me."
"As a Magical Girl, one should never give up hope, no matter the circumstances."
"I understand."
Juju's eyes widened, and she nodded in sudden realization.
That's right.
If it were a true Magical Girl, she wouldn't feel despair and want to give up just because someone threatened her.
She must strive to find hope in adversity!
"Huu…"
Juju clenched her small fists, took a deep breath, her face flushed, and bent down to take off her stockings.
"No, I can't." Kitagawa Marin suddenly clutched her stomach, her voice pained, "My stomach hurts so much."
As Amamiya Natsuki looked over at her, the blonde girl suddenly hugged Amamiya Natsuki's waist and loudly declared:
"Juju-sama, now's your chance! Quickly ambush Natsuki from behind!"
Inui Sajuna paused, quickly reacted, and hurriedly picked up her magic wand to ambush Amamiya Natsuki from behind.
A moment later.
"…You're under arrest!"
Inui Sajuna's face was flushed, and she was slightly breathless, but her eyes sparkled, exceptionally bright.
Although it was just a practice, the feeling of playing a Magical Girl and saving helpless passersby… was quite enjoyable.
Amamiya Natsuki held his hands over his head and surrendered, "I surrender."
Seeing what Amamiya Natsuki held in his hand, Juju pouted, "Give me back my stockings."
In the chaos, Amamiya Natsuki didn't know how it happened, but a pair of black stockings appeared in his hand.
"Hmph hmph." Kitagawa Marin hummed triumphantly while tidying her hair, "I'm a succubus, not an ordinary hostage without the power to resist… Juju-sama, how's the role-playing?"
"It went up." Juju's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a small smile, "It went up by a full ten percent, but no new abilities were unlocked."
"For now, we can confirm that Magical Girls can increase their role-playing by punishing evil and promoting good."
Amamiya Natsuki took out his notebook and recorded the data, "Next is to raise the Magical Girl's role-playing to 50% to see if she can awaken active skills."
"Come on, come on." Kitagawa Marin put her hands on her hips, full of energy, "Let's continue."
