Soubu High School, after-school club time.
"Isn't Soubu High School Onii-chan's school? Why are you still sneaking around in your own school? Haven't you gotten used to it after so long since school started, Onii-chan, you need to cheer up."
Nukumizu Kaju cheered on her older brother.
"I'm used to walking around school, what I'm not used to is walking around school in this form!"
Nukumizu Kazuhiko said timidly in a low voice: "By the way, is it really okay for me to wear a skirt? Kaju's skirt isn't the style of the Soubu High School uniform, is it?"
"Sailor uniform skirts are all pretty much the same. For uniforms, it's hard to distinguish between male and female styles without wearing the jacket. It's fine, it's fine. Now Onii-chan is a girl, it suits you quite well."
Nukumizu Kaju said with a beaming smile.
Her younger sister's expression always gave Nukumizu Kazuhiko the illusion that she was enjoying it.
…Hopefully, it was really just an illusion.
"But Onii-chan actually believes Gokou, I'm quite surprised."
Kaju said happily.
"Well, after all, she's someone Kaju trusts, and after seeing that kind of sight, it's impossible not to believe she has superpowers, right?"
Nukumizu Kazuhiko said softly.
Question: Nukumizu Kazuhiko has his own Soubu High School uniform, Gokou Ruri has a uniform kindly lent by Yanami, so how did Nukumizu Kaju, who has no uniform, get into Soubu High School?
The answer is by walking in.
As long as you don't encounter anyone on the way, even if you're not wearing the Soubu High School uniform, or even if you don't look like a high school student at first glance, you can still walk swaggeringly around the Soubu High School campus.
As for why Nukumizu Kazuhiko had to wear a uniform, and even a skirt, that brings us to Miss Kaju's solemn statement: 'This is insurance!'
And to ensure that there's no one on the path when students are running around everywhere during club activities, it's obviously not relying on luck, but requires a little trick.
For example—
"Meow."
Gokou Ruri called softly.
The stray cats hiding in the bushes also let out meows.
"Very good, this path's safety has been ensured."
Gokou Ruri nodded.
Gathering a large group of stray cats, communicating with cats without barriers, controlling cats to patrol around and find safe paths to move… Just the parts already demonstrated could no longer be explained by coincidence or "innate cat-loving saint body" or similar statements.
It could only be explained that the girl in front of them indeed possessed supernatural powers.
"Don't stand there nodding with that strange, relieved smile, hurry up and follow me."
Gokou Ruri turned back and said, then led the way, following a small cat lightly slipping towards the club building.
"Huh, is there such a wall in the club building?"
Only when they arrived in front of the Chiba Magic Society did Nukumizu Kazuhiko look at the wall in front of them with some bewilderment. It looked as if a house from a fairy tale had been embedded in the hallway wall. He said with some disbelief.
"If you can see this, it means you are indeed troubled by supernatural phenomena."
Gokou Ruri nodded upon seeing this—if Nukumizu Kazuhiko couldn't see the Clubroom, she wouldn't have bothered to continue accompanying him.
After all, Asakura had said yesterday that only those who were genuinely troubled by supernatural phenomena and hoped to receive help could see the cabin's door.
So she led the Nukumizu siblings into the cabin.
However, as soon as she entered, the young woman showed a surprised expression.
The interior of the cabin was pitch black, with only the center illuminated by an unknown light source.
The usual slight grassy smell from failed Essence of Dittany concoctions was no longer present in the room. Instead, it was replaced by the scent of incense, mainly from lavender-type floral essential oils.
In the center of the cabin was a table that hadn't been there yesterday. Asakura sat behind the table, a beam of light falling from the ceiling, illuminating him like a spotlight on a stage with a Tyndall effect. On the table in front of him, a crystal ball glowed brightly, emitting a faint light.
"Welcome, lost gypsies~"
In the space filled with a mysterious atmosphere, Asakura's voice, accompanied by strange, hissing sounds like a Snake, sent shivers down their spines and almost completely gripped their hearts with this eerie sensation, making them realize that the person in front of them was the 'real deal'.
Nukumizu Kazuhiko felt her mouth dry, and her calves trembled uncontrollably.
She licked her parched lips, and for a moment, even had the unpromising thought of 'even if I don't speak, Kaju will definitely help explain.'
But soon, she managed to suppress this tempting thought and desperately urged herself to speak.
"Um… we're not gypsies…"
What am I saying?! Is this the time for complaining?!
Nukumizu Kazuhiko desperately cursed herself in her heart. Never had she regretted having a complaining soul so much.
"Just kidding."
Asakura put away the crystal ball and also removed the light bulb underneath it.
The cabin instantly brightened, completely dispelling the mysterious and eerie atmosphere from before.
"It's just a Cosplay prop…"
"I've already heard the general situation from Gokou Ruri. You're Nukumizu Kazuhiko, right?"
"Mm."
Nukumizu Kazuhiko nodded repeatedly.
"Takuma, is Nukumizu Kazuhiko a witch?"
Gokou Ruri asked.
"We'll know if we try."
Asakura took the Sorting Hat from a nearby shelf and placed it directly on Nukumizu Kazuhiko's head. Nukumizu Kazuhiko quickly held the brim with both hands.
Nothing happened.
Not only not a witch, but not even a trace of magic? Just an ordinary person simply affected by supernatural power?
"In that case, it's simple."
He picked up the Sorting Hat and put it back on the shelf, then pointed directly at Nukumizu Kazuhiko: "Snake."
"What?"
"I wasn't talking to you."
An invisible barrier enveloped Nukumizu Kazuhiko, but she didn't change back to him.
"I see, it's not a continuous influence by some external cursed power, but an internal influence… or perhaps even her body has become female?"
Asakura nodded thoughtfully. After dispelling the Snake on her, Asakura pointed at her again: "Scale."
The next moment, the unsuspecting Nukumizu Kazuhiko completely transformed into a giant anaconda-like python.
Nukumizu Kaju beside her screamed in fright: "Onii-chan?!"
However, before anything unexpected could happen, Asakura had already swiped his finger, directly dispelling the curse.
So, in the next instant, the giant python transformed back into Nukumizu Kazuhiko.
And it was the male version.
"It's changed back!"
Nukumizu Kazuhiko first touched his hair, then tried to suppress the urge to touch his little Kazuhiko, only touching his Adam's apple, before letting out a surprised sound.
