"To see Onii-chan make so many friends, Kaju is deeply touched!"
Nukumizu Kaju pulled out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe away tears.
"Kaju, isn't your definition of a friend a bit too broad?"
Nukumizu Kazuhiko complained.
"Sodayo, I really hope it can be a compromise with Yuki's definition of friends."
Yuigahama Yui nodded vigorously.
"Compared to such irrelevant matters, On... Kaju-kun, what is your Magic?"
Gokou asked Nukumizu Kaju with a tense face.
"Magic? Is it the superpower that senior just used to turn Onii-chan into a Snake? Sorry, Kaju doesn't know either..."
The girl shook her head, then asked Gokou in return, "Does Gokou also know that kind of Magic?"
Gokou nodded, pointed at her, and a pair of fuzzy black triangular cat ears popped out on the girl's head.
"Wow, how cute!"
Yuigahama Yui, who especially loved cute creatures, looked at the cat-girl version of Nukumizu Kaju, her eyes gleaming, and Napoleon in her hand was stretched out of shape.
"Speaking of which, Ruri and Kaju-chan are a bit alike."
Asakura observed the two of them.
Both had long black hair, and their hairstyles were also a blunt cut, leaning towards the Hime style. Their aura was more cute than beautiful or cool. However, Gokou was about half a head taller than Nukumizu Kaju, and her facial features looked a bit stronger, while Nukumizu Kaju's were much softer.
"I see! Then Ruri and I... no, Ruri-nee and I are the Witch Sisters!"
Nukumizu Kaju happily embraced the caught-off-guard Gokou.
The latter was like a cat being forcibly cuddled by a human, with an expression of helplessness and disdain on her face, using her paws... I mean, her hands, to push against Nukumizu Kaju's soft cheeks.
"No need, I have enough sisters already! And what's with that group name that sounds like it's been outdated for years from the Heisei era? It feels like it could disband at any moment due to lack of popularity."
"How did Ruri-nee learn Magic?"
Nukumizu Kaju asked humbly.
"It just happened."
Gokou looked at Asakura with some difficulty.
"When you realize it, Magic will naturally emerge from your heart. If you can't recognize your Magic, either there's no Magic residing within you, or you haven't met certain conditions to activate your Magic."
Asakura explained for Gokou.
"I see... I wonder what kind of Magic I'll have."
Nukumizu Kaju clasped her hands to her chest, smiling with an expectant tone.
"Being able to change someone else's gender should be [Genderbend] or [Sex Change]."
Gokou, who had mastered many obscure characters from writing chuunibyou novels, said expressionlessly.
"No, considering the only case so far was simply a male turning into a female, the possibility of [Feminization] also exists."
Asakura added beside her, looking serious.
Nukumizu Kaju's smile froze.
"Why are all those characters so lewd! They don't suit the pure Kaju at all!"
Yuigahama Yui protested.
Nukumizu Kazuhiko looked at his sister, who had entered low-pressure mode, with sweat dripping down his face. He stiffened his neck and said, "It's okay, no matter how strange Kaju's Magic is, I won't dislike it..."
"Really, Onii-chan?"
"I-if you can control it and not turn me into a girl again, that would be even better."
Nukumizu Kazuhiko said with a dry laugh.
"Onii-chan, why don't you stop being an Onii-chan…?"
"Kaju's… Kaju's broken?!"
"Don't worry,"
Asakura patted his shoulder: "I can still help you change back."
"Tha-thanks…"
Nukumizu Kazuhiko felt a little relieved.
"Ah, but after pregnancy, you might not be able to change back, so it's best not to play around after becoming a girl."
"Words I never imagined would apply to me in my first sixteen years of life have appeared!"
"It's not bad to just enjoy life as a girl when the time comes,"
Asakura continued to comfort him.
"Thanks, I'm not comforted at all."
As soon as Nukumizu Kazuhiko finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He nervously turned his head and, as expected, saw his younger sister, Kaju, covering her face and whimpering.
"Onii-chan, do you really dislike Kaju? It's okay, Kaju can wander alone outside…"
"No, no, I'm not that Unwinged Angel, and Kaju, you're just faking it, aren't you?"
"Hehe."
The girl lowered her hand, indeed showing no signs of sadness on her face, and stuck out her tongue at her Onii-chan.
She looked at Asakura: "As long as I come here regularly to clear out the unnecessary… Magic? Then it'll be guaranteed that nothing like that will happen again, right?"
"If Nukumizu's transformation into a girl was indeed due to your Magic, then yes, that's correct."
Asakura nodded.
"Do I need to come as often as Gokou?"
"Not necessarily. Your Magic isn't too much, so coming once or twice a week should be enough."
Asakura calculated and replied: "Of course, if your Magic grows later, that's another story."
"Can Magic still grow?"
Yuigahama Yui, whom Asakura had judged as having low Magic, asked curiously.
"It's like a girl's cleavage; if you squeeze, there'll always be some."
Asakura replied casually.
"Liar, Yukino and that Student Council Vice President don't have any no matter how much they squeeze!"
Leaving aside that Vice President Amakusa, does Yukino know you're saying that about her? What a plastic friendship…
"It's just a metaphor, no need to overthink it,"
Asakura looked at the serious girl: "You lose if you take it seriously, Yuigahama Kakashi."
(Kakashi means scarecrow)
"Scarecrow? Why suddenly mention a scarecrow?"
"Yeah, why indeed~"
Asakura said, looking at the ceiling.
"Oh, right, since Onii-chan won't be able to come in anymore, how about we all take a commemorative photo together?"
Nukumizu Kaju suddenly said: "Actually, to photograph Onii-chan's embarra… cough, to photograph the scenery, I specifically brought my digital camera from home today."
Saying that, she pulled out a small pink digital camera from the pocket of her pleated skirt.
"I'm not interested in group photos, but I can help you take pictures."
Asakura walked over and took the camera from the girl's hand.
"Do you need my help?"
Asagumo Chihaya asked: "I know a little about photography and composition."
Asakura then remembered that she seemed to have a digital camera as well.
However, he still shook his head: "No need, I just think it's fun… Stand still, say cheese or whatever you like."
His gaze shifted to the digital camera's viewfinder, and then Asakura's face showed a meaningful expression.
"Oh ho… So that's how it is."
