☆ Dreamy☆Chelsea

Like ical Girl Aniical Girl before she was hter atching Magical Girl Anih, it went beyond a level that a parent could overlook She scolded her daughter, ouldn’t take her eyes off the television even if they beca her “Be h as she woke up in the hter inside her blanket that rapped around the TV, not letting a single light escape She was beyond shocked, she was impressed

Wasn’t having a kind of concentration like this a talent? People with ical potential occasionally manifested their powers in h physical abilities, memory abilities, unique appearances, or lifespans that approached the li creatures, so to speak

Fuchiko wasn’t a professional Magical Girl, but she’d find leisure ti, and if she couldn’t find leisure tiical Girl powers to ical Girl activity circles and events She showed her daughter to her acquaintances ere Magical Girl scouts, they gave her a stahter really has a talent for ht as she felt a sense of earnestness

Thus, Chie Yuical Girl Dreamy☆Chelsea She rapped in pleasure now that she knew the world of dreaic actually existed, and she took her first step on the road to being a Magical Girl

Seasons changed, days passed…

“Listen you, you really need to be more responsible!”

“Mory?”

“Of course I’!”

“But… it’s weird for a Magical Girl to work”

“It’s not weird All the characters in your favorite Anime worked, didn’t they? Cutie Healer, Star Queen, all of theical Daisy had a part-tie”

Chie stood up and looked at her ely

“I keep telling you that’s different than what I like! All of those people… They’re all fighters! They’re just like Shonen Manga or Mecha Ani people in trouble!”

She couldn’t say that “back in ical Girls, ever since she was a kid, were old-fashi+oned Magical Girls They were in a part of the Showa period that was so old that you couldn’t even find them in video rental stores

But now, it’s just even ical Girls were even further in the past Nowadays, everyone liked people ere ‘just barely classified as Magical Girls’, but if you tell Chie that, she’d call them fake

“I wanna be the kind of Magical Girl that I love Since I becaical Girl, I’ll continue to help people every day, and I don’t plan on stopping If I get a job, that’s gonna interrupt all ical Girl activities”

She threw out her fervent speech, she held her fist, she could feel her own absolutely unbreakably strong will inside of herself Yet, she felt like it would bend as soon as she saw the look on her mother’s face Chie crawled backwards on her butt, but there was no escape behind her, only the wall and s Her er that she could bear no longer, walked one step closer to Chie and looked down at her If her ical Girl, she’d look like a cute little devil who could entertain your eyes Now she looked like a great demon

Chie corrected her posture, sitting on her knees She placed both her hands on her knees, and stared forward

“Um”

“How old are you again?”

“That’s got nothing to do with…”

“How old?”

“Thirty… Four”

“Chie Yumeno, do you want to knohat kind of ruhborhood?”

“No…”

“Change your clothes and go to the Employment Support Center Now”

“Okay…”

“It’ll be fine, you’ll find a way to have fun somehow You always do”

“Irresponsible…”

“What was that?”

“Nothing…”

Chie didn’t want to work She thought Magical Girls should only do Magical Girl things If she wanted to earn incoot a job, then she’d also need to have responsibility She had to give priority to her work rather than her non-paying Magical Girl activities, which ical Girl

She asserted that she wanted to do activities that ical Girl, she ed to deceive and cheat this far, but her mother’s patience was about to reach its limits

It’d be impossible to earn more time now If she tried to do more, her mother will have to use her true power Her ical Girl circle, just looking at these evil recruiters could get her into fishi+ng tuna, or at a crab factory, or harvesting gold dust, or be in a labor ca ht’ve been norht even take Chie to see her uncle as in his fifties, and had a son Chie’s age, and tell her “This will be your dear husband from now on”

There was no escape While dragging her heavy legs, she headed to the Eo to the convenience store She even wanted to go to a bookstore She wanted to browse She wanted to kill tiraduated froo

The Employment Support Center’s doors were too heavy for a woled at the door, before a ed man in a suit opened it “Wow, looks like we’re both in trouble, huh?” she laughed as she went in, filling up the registration cards as per the receptionist’s instructions Sure enough, there were lots of eh, huh?” she said with a self-deprecating s Abilities Useful for Eram, so Chie participated In the conference-style roo people, a housewife-looking e rucksacks, and a variety of other people who received their lessons She sat next to a beardedT-shi+rt with a misplaced japanese-style shrine ot some sweets She felt a sense of crisis when many people took out their notes and scribbled notes with their pens, she went back to the receptionist and borrowed a notepad and a ballpoint pen froe, she thought as she wrote down everything important For now, it see qualifications

She talked with thewas a deep activity, next they were taught by the receptionist on how to search using a PC The oldsome difficulties, but it wasn’t as hard for Chie At hoical Girl to play, or watched Ania She’s been using a computer for over 25 years so she’s practically a veteran As a so-called ht the basics

Salaries, sponsors, conditions, people who can use ular licenses, there were lots of information but none of the about her qualifications or experience, so obviously she needed to coood conditions to hire her, but she felt like if she went there, she’d be caught up in so in any social experience Looking at the old s as he repeated “I see, I see” while double clicking That’s good

She dropped her eyes to her right hand holding the ht of the room She breathed out fro the screen idly, she began thinking of what to do after this She wanted to go to the convenience store to check the new releases of candies and ice cream If it’s her oard, then her ot home But if she insisted on a reward, she’d have to show soo that her ained? Her h her lies easily If her et back at her by anyit

Thinking about herabout so to check on the latest candies, then she wanted to browse soa that had taken a hiatus had published anything new yet If they did, then her energy would rise up While thinking profoundly about it, she kept scrolling, finally, her finger that was htly The large orange-colored font wasn’t trying to hide its eye-catchiness The words ‘Magical Girl’ were even

She scrolled the page, and it continued on

“We are recruiting Magical Girls”

“Only those with Magical Potential can see these sentences”

Oh ho… Okay?

Chie placed her index finger against her right eyelid, pushi+ng her squinted eyes to widen them

“Hey, mister”

“H?”

“You see anything written here?”

“No… I don’t see anything”

“Really?”

“My eyeglasses were just bought, so I can see small letters”

“Okay Thanks”

This was real They’re recruiting Magical Girls

Chie’s ical Girl was a narrow door only open to those with overwhelet in, it’d be a spiky road until the very end To Chie, her ical Girl, yet she wasn’t a professional Magical Girl, choosing to make a family instead

Whether Drea a Magical Girl for 30 years, like it or not, she understood She wasn’t about to bend on her assertion that Magical Girls don’t use power, speed, or energy beams, but without theical Girls Although there was no one to co a professional Magical Girl, and compared to her Chelsea orse Experience, her eye for people, attentiveness, strength of heart, even her proble skills

But, there was no way she was losing She had ic, that’s her way of thinking

Chelsea’s Magical Skill was Manipulating Stars Just saying it like that, it could so celestial bodies freely, but of course, she couldn’t do that She can move small objects shaped like stars and play with them, and whenever she explained it, usually most people would se her

There was no need for sye it on distant targets, continuing to keep score like Tennis wall-striking, she played this Throwing Stars Gaularly updates her high score, if there were any professional competitions, it’d be a piece of cake, but unfortunately, the only participant would be Chelsea

To Chelsea, Magical Girls only need Magical Girlish Magical Skills That, and one ical Girls needed to find Magical Girl Jobs that were best for theer from the mouse scroll wheel She looked over the new sentence, and looked through another one, then looked through another

“Beginners welcoical Girls We are looking for gentle and honest Magical Girls There’s no need for , etc Illegal behavior is strictly prohibited We have a bright workplace”

Chie pinched her cheek The world didn’t fade away The old man next to her was surprised by a sound made by his computer, and loudly called out for the staff

☆ Love Me Ren-Ren

There are many unhappy people who didn’t realize they were unhappy Her administrator who took care of her had told her that She rebelled inside, but she didn’t say it

Rei Koi unhappy She heard what her friends’ faarten or school, even if she looked at her friends’ mothers, who looked very kind, when she came over to play, she didn’t think that they were as kind as her own mother She didn’t even think that they were any different fro like my mo like that Herless Herto Rei

When Rei entered kindergarten, no, long before that, when Rei was just born, her father should have been there, but she only had faint h was loud, she res, but then she wondered if the iained knowledge of him

Meaning, she had no memories of her father Rei’s memories were only of her mother

She brought the springboard and headed towards the sink, cutting the vegetables with the weight of the kitchen knife Her sularly washi+ng the electric pot She never thought of it as annoying or bitter work Herat the tih she only showed her face a few times in a month, whenever she did, her eyes always looked sleepy She thought she was actually sleeping There was no way she could be tired

She shi+ned the toilets, wiped the corridors, she’d keep it clean, even if it’s just a little bit Her curry wasn’t sweet, but she used medium spices that her mother loved, and she put up with a little spiciness To prevent the laundry frohot water in the bathtub

Although Rei was also living a life she thought orth living, her mother didn’t think so She understood this when she received a phone call with herhome anymore,” and the shock that Rei had received was extraordinary

She was sad, she was pained, this was the first time she realized how important her mother was to her It was natural of her to have a mother, for her to eat breakfast, sleep, watch TV, soone

She was sad because she had a vague understanding of why her mother didn’t want to come home anymore Her mother was different fros she wanted to do There were even people that she liked She couldn’t get any of them, no ht she could get the was the correct thing or not Her mother had never co

Rei was already an eles like this happened in the world She was sad, she was sad, tears continued to flow, yet when she tried to find her mother, and wanted her to cos No,it, but she simply curved her lips and stopped herself, as she didn’t want to drag her mother down

If she did, it wouldn’t be long before they would encounter a problem, in the end, her mother would be unhappy But she didn’t do it, and Rei was scouted by a test adical Girl Love Me Ren-Ren She certainly kne to live by being hired for cash, she was also able to ask for souardian for her Her everyday life became very busy, yet Rei continued to pay rent for her apartlect cleanup and washi+ng either She left everything her mother placed the way it was, but she cared for it so that dust wouldn’t gather, it looked like her mother could return any inal life

The administrator who cared for Ren-Ren pointed out to her, “You’re an interesting person You know… you should find places where people could use soe that I want you to have”

Love Me Ren-Ren evoked love using her bow and arrow With Love Me Ren-Ren’s arrows, she could even fix and retie the bonds that were nearly undone

The Magical Girl Love Me Ren-Ren was able to make people cherish their connections, that’s what Rei had decided Her father loved her mother, and her mother loved her father, that’s why Rei, that’s why Love Me Ren-Ren was here no that Love Me Ren-Ren was here, no s better She can , create bonds of love

She can revive fas reconcile after an inheritance dispute, she can o back to their original selves, Rei began taking on work that involved getting herself into huain for hard work, and her naan to spread, her administrator had told her that ill come even if she didn’t advertise herself, thus she had become a ‘blessed Freelancer’

______________________________________________________________________

She didn’t havedirectly to a client’s house Her clients, whether they were rich or poor, usually wanted to keep their privacy So although this tih to think this was a good thing

They wanted to go to a Mage’s inheritance but needed a Magical Girl to accoh her client’s house, she could see the fact that their econoht as she made up the story in her head

The house was around 30 years old Huht tilt in the building The colors of the wallpaper were thin, the original stronger colors of yellow had now appeared light crea looked like it was collecting dark soot at the botto demolished

Though it looked like a residence where so time, it didn’t look likea cozy one The kitchen floor was sticky, and the dining table’s legs were too high

The Magical Girl sitting face to face by the table placed the teacup she held on the table, which had no tray, and uous pronunciation and voice volume, she couldn’t tell if that was japanese or if she was chanting so so, Ren-Ren couldn’t catch it at all

“U the matter?”

The Magical Girl, with her flat eyes, muttered one or twoshe said Her all-black costuue face looked like she didn’t let anything in

Although Ren-Ren had been a Freelancer for many years, her workplace was biased, she wanted to help people connect, she only did work involving relationshi+ps between people, and if she succeeded, thento that Not to eical Girls Only her opportunities of working alone increased, it’s been a while since she’s had to be involved with another Magical Girl Whether or not she can ith another Magical Girl on a job, she was anxious about

Ren-Ren replied with a painful s “Kushi+shi+shi+” That was… probably a… laugh

“Lo-Lo-Love Me………Ren-Ren……… yes……”

Although she was a bit choppy, she could somehow hear what she said

“Ren-Ren’s fine Nephilia, right?”

“Nephi…”

The Magical Girl Nephilia was a Grie scythe It was a scythe that didn’t conceal how it reflected light in a way only ricultural tool, the scythe created a strong impact on her, but Nephilia’s attitude didn’t put emphasis on that, rather than violence, it looked to be full of depression instead

“By the way, you two”

The two Magical Girls turned away froht, Ren-Ren to the left, and saw the one who spoke

“If you’re going to talk, I’ll be joining you”

A 20-year old wo as her shoulder Herout Because her posture was low, the table was in the way and you couldn’t see below her stos crossed and knees bent The left strap of her ca off her shoulder, it feels like it symbolized her as an unbalanced person

Nephilia re her head, she looked at the woman

“B-Bad at…… Talking……”

“Ah, you’re not good at speaking That’s perfectly fine”

“Inheritance…… Succession…… Law…… Business……”

“I see Since you’re not good at anything other than your professional work, you’re also not good at speaking”

Nephilia with her eyes upturned did the snicker laugh Sohtened her expressions, nodding in a “That’s right” kind of way

“Then I’s related to faical Girls, so to speak”

Nephilia put her hand on her forehead, this ti her teeth

“H-Here…… Nervous…… Too……”

“I’ to end unpleasantly”

Nephilia raised an eyebrow at her client’s words

“Oh………?”

“Well, picture this The bastard daughter of a mistress receives a letter and pushes for an inheritance, do you really think it’s not going to end in an annoying and unpleasant way?”

Frolance, she see the teacup in her hands with a powerful grip, and the tips of her nails were discolored white

Ren-Ren succeeded her client’s words, eht tone

“We’ll work to solve annoying probleriellemaid Quarky”

“Agri’s fine Anything else is too long… Remember it, okay?”

The two of theh

“A…… Ag…… “

“No, no, Ag’s fine and all, but really, I prefer Agri”

“Ri……”

“Oh,it, weren’t you?”

Agri and Nephilia laughed, and this time Ren-Ren followed

When Agri stood up to go to the toilet, Ren-Ren exhaled a little Nephilia moved only her eyes to look at Ren-Ren, Ren-Ren pretended not to notice as she moistened the teacup in her hand

“Do you specialize in inheritance and succession, Nephi?”

“C-Corpses…… Cadavers…… Hate……”

“Me too… I don’t really like them that much”

“Fighting…… Weak……”

“I’ht I’d be in trouble if we did

[”

Ren-Ren sh she still held the teacup, there was nothing inside it any her right hand next to her

“Client…… Thoughts……”

Ren-Ren tightened her expression,a serious face

“I… If I can, I think I want to help Agri”

“Money…… Payment…… Work……”

She put her fingers together on top of the table She thought for a while on how long she should talk, even if she talked honestly, she noticed that it ended with a laugh Ren-Ren nodded

“Agri has some antipathy to her deceased father I don’t know any details about this Mage, but it looks like she was the daughter of his lover”

“Y-Yes”

“I… I want to help ri like her father, even if it’s just a little bit”

Nephilia furrowed her eyebrows, and in an instant spread theinal position

“Huh……”

“Isn’t it sad how a daughter doesn’t love her father?”

There was about three seconds of silence, NephiliaShe was holding her sto was unbearably funny Ren-Ren didn’t feel bad Everyone always thought that it was funny whenever she said so like that Yet she didn’t want to be misunderstood

“Nephi, I’”

“I-I Kno…… Not…… Lie……”

Nephilia stopped laughing, then placed her body on the table and raised her head, staring at Ren-Ren Instead of being half-open, her eyelids were properly open this ti and stared back

“Do you think it’s… funny?”

“N-No…… Sorry……”

“You don’t have to apologize… I’hed at”

“Cool…… Ego…… Magical…… Girl…… Ish……”

Ren-Ren didn’t know if she was being praised, she replied with an expression that looked like a s it atop of Ren-Ren’s hands They were cold hands

“Straight…… Scummy…… I like……”

She said only thather, after all

☆ 7753

As soon as she heard what Mana said, 7753, as confident at how bad she is at judging, knew exactly what she wanted The reason she understood wasn’t because 7753’s judgement had improved, it’s because Mana was terribly easy to understand Mana had no other Magical Girls that she could ask for private favors, though saying that 7753 had to accompany her to an island because “I have no one else” is kind of e Even before that, Mana didn’t want to buy any syress nor retreat, but she did want 7753 to come

She understood painfully how troubled she was, and 7753 wanted to help her Mana used to have a Magical Girl she could ask for help 7753 reical Girl, Hana Gekokujou, and when she did, she had e at Mana, as nothing less than a sister to her, how could it not be breaking hers? When she thought of it that way, then just a little, even if it’s small, if 7753 could do it, she wanted to help out

But 7753 had work to do Yet soot it, and was free froe, was being transferred to a oodbye

And now 7753 came to an island

The teht, large stones were mixed with the sands, huical Girl, so she was able to, but she wouldn’t be able to do it aggressively While looking away just before the waves were on the verge of splashi+ng, she kept watching the horizon She couldn’t see the figure of Tepsekemei as too excited in front of her Keep quiet, don’t destroy anything, or do anything dangerous, she ets, 7753 will make her remember

Tepseke drifted by the winds in the sky When Mana told her not to go too high or she’ll hit the barrier, Tepseke to be okay?

“Tepseke fun”

She turned around to see Mana looking at the sky Mana’s cape was fluttering in the wind as she gripped it with her right hand, she held down her witch’s hat with her left Not to ical school uniform, it looks neat, but not cool

“It’s hot”

“Very”

“So… Aren’t you goi
