The Time Cycler from the Type Moon

This is how it used to be when cleaning a room, and it is how it is now.

"A person hid in the magic workshop in the name of making a contract, and threw this troublesome guy directly to me."

Qingzi murmured to himself full of resentment.

Later, it was probably out of the principle of "doing things well after taking over".

She looked back at Ando Hideo.

"Since you know that after signing the contract, you will become obedient and unable to lie, so don't try to play tricks at this time."

"Do you guys really like Youzhu?"

As the witch's cohabitant, Qingzi is quite aware of what her friend, who is cold on the surface, looks like on the inside.

The witch, who has almost no friends except Aoko, is emotionally slender and fragile, like fragile glass, and can easily fall into a paranoid state.

"It's too late to regret it now. Whether you really like it or not, you will never be able to escape after signing the contract."

Aoko spoke to Hide Ando in front of him with a rather serious expression.

"Regret... I never need to regret."

Regarding Aoko's words, Hideo Ando smiled and spoke in a riddle tone with a little deep meaning.

He never needs to regret it, because everything can be repeated for him.

"What do you want to ask, I will ask after I sign the contract tomorrow."

"Now--"

Facing Aoko's extremely serious expression, Hideo Ando showed a bright smile instead.

At the same time, Qingzi's precious TV went black for an instant, and then played a picture she had never seen before.

Some familiar and touching music came from the TV.

"Come on! Qingzi, let's play a tense and exciting Super Mario!!"

Hideo Ando held out the handle to Aoko Aozaki while opening his mouth.

At this time, the thing he connected to the TV in the mansion is called Nintendo FC, also known as the red and white machine, the first generation host of the "world master" Nintendo, and Hideo Ando spent a lot of money to get it by relying on his own time loop ability. of.

Release time: 1983

Including classic games: Super Mario Bros., Red Fortress, Green Corps, Bee, Contra, Street Fighter, Tank War, Ninja, Double Dragon, Dragon Fist 3, Squirrel War, Salamander, Mega Man , Bomberman, Elf, MapleStory, Rainbow Island, Blood Series, Circus, Kirby, The Legend of Zelda...

"This is... a game console?"

Qingzi murmured subconsciously, she looked sideways at Hide Ando beside her, with a feeling in her eyes that seemed like a world away.

About the game console, she heard a boy at school mention it when she passed by the corridor occasionally.

If there hadn't been an accident two years ago to inherit the magic engraving of his grandfather, Qingzi felt that he would probably actively try various new things.

However, when she stepped into the magic world, everything had to be overturned.

Because she wants to inherit the family's spiritual line located in Misaki City, her original wish to leave the small town and go to a big city to go to school cannot be realized.Because they have to practice all kinds of magic tricks to fill in the gaps and learn the knowledge that other people have already mastered, so the entertainment of normal high school students is excluded.

As a magician who pursues the roots and mysteries, she is destined to stay away from the crowd and the modern times.

Although Qingzi felt a little resentment in her heart, since it was the path she chose, no matter how tired she was, she would go on without complaint or regret.

However, today's Hideo Ando is grandiose, bringing the game console that should not have appeared in front of Aoko's eyes to this mansion belonging to the witch.

The scene in front of me gave Qingzi the feeling.

It's like a returning traveler meeting a long-lost friend, or like an employee who was squeezed by the boss to the brink of collapse and was given half a year's paid vacation.

"Watching TV is weird enough, do you know what it's like to play video games in this mansion?"

Aoko looked at Hideo Ando in front of him with such a weird expression and said

"Like a serious business meeting, a pink fur bunny walked in, and the other party sang nursery rhymes while walking, leading the social elites in suits, and danced ballet together on tiptoes in front of the French windows. "

Hideo Ando thought for a while, and then answered Aoko.

"In short, it is very inconsistent."

Qingzi nodded in agreement, with a sense of certainty in his words.

"Social elites in suits must never do such a shameful act."

"Similarly, things that are ahead of the times like video games should never appear in Western-style mansions with beads."

and so--

The girl looked intently at the boy next to her again.

"Want to play?"

Hideo Ando raised his handle to Aoko Aozaki and extended an invitation.

"of course."

Aoko responded like this, and manipulated the handle handed over by Hideo Ando without a teacher, with a full of joy in her voice.

She likes to watch the social elite dance ballet with the pink fur bunny.

dang~dang~

Accompanied by the sound of Mario jumping up and knocking down bricks on the TV.

The two began to happily play games with each other in the living room in a way of one life, one life.

Time passed minute by minute.

Qingzi, who was getting emotional, had already taken off his socks and coat, crossed his legs and started playing the game.

"Qingzi, you can't do this."

"What's the matter, what's the matter, Qingzi, didn't you say that you would definitely win?"

"Falled, our invincible Qingzi fell down again."

"Hey!! Don't go too far, you guy!! Believe it or not, I'm making gestures with you in reality."

"No way, my beloved student council president, Aozaki Aoko, is the kind of guy who can't beat the game and wants to conquer by force? No way~ no way~"

"Shut up and eat my combo!!"

Aoko pursed her lips and stared at the screen unhappily. While manipulating the controller, she used Jio to constantly harass Hideo Ando who was manipulating the character.

That's how Hideo Ando harassed her just now when she was about to win, and called it 'tactics'.

The two, who gradually started playing Street Fighter (a two-player fighting game) and bickering with each other, didn't realize at all that there was a girl standing quietly behind them at some point.

Chapter 7 Belongs to the Possessiveness of a Witch

The western mansion in the early morning of Saturday shines into the room through the skylight of the mansion.

Youzhu, who has been busy all night and finally made magic props, is dressed in home clothes.

Black long sleeves with black tights and a brown patterned skirt.

At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, holding a lavender magic item [Little Beauty's Contract], and looked at Aozaki Aoko who was playing the game with a flat gaze, full of a sense of danger.

"Um?!"

"Why do I feel a little cool behind my back, I didn't feel this way all night before."

Qingzi put down the handle and murmured involuntarily.

After struggling all night, she finally got through Super Mario completely, and she felt a little uneasy after relaxing.

"Woo~~~"

The girl stretched greatly.

The beautiful body curves look even more beautiful in the morning sun.

Although she played the game all night, there was no visible fatigue on Qingzi's face at this moment. As a magician, when she was making magic props, it was not uncommon for her to stay up all night.

Originally, the game time between the two should have ended at 12 o'clock in the evening.

However, Aoko himself is a bit obsessive-compulsive, and Hideo Ando, ​​who quickly cleared the game, ridiculed him again and again.

For the game that can't be cleared in front of her, she always wants to finish him thoroughly.

Because of this, Hide Ando, ​​who was not assigned a room to sleep for the time being, had no choice but to ask Aoko for a blanket, and fell asleep next to her.

"Tch, it's so annoying when you're asleep and not when you're awake."

After stretching his muscles and bones, Aoko looked sideways at Hide Ando beside him.

At this time, Hideo Ando, ​​who wrapped himself up in a ball and curled up to sleep beside him, looked a little handsome in a quiet manner.

Looking at Hideo Ando who fell asleep, Aoko knew how sad it is to be awakened from a dream

"Hey, wake up."

There was a malicious smile on her face, without much hesitation at all, she pushed and woke up Hide Ando.

"Is it morning?"

Shu Ando, ​​who woke up from a deep sleep, rubbed his eyes.

Ando Hideo narrowed his eyes slightly due to the harsh sunlight coming in from the skylight of the mansion.

He didn't have any gas for getting up, but just woke up with low blood sugar in a daze.

"Yes, it's morning, do you feel something is wrong?"

"in addition……"

"I, Mario, cleared the level."

Qingzi's tone has a serious feeling, especially the second half of the sentence, and it also has a sense of "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi".

"Oh, congratulations. If you said something wrong, it should be because Kuonji has been watching us from behind."

Looking around, Hideo Ando yawned and spoke.

"It turns out that there are pearls behind..."

It seemed that he was brought into rhythm by Hideo Ando's nonchalant attitude.

Qingzi subconsciously accepted the information with a more casual attitude, but she was just halfway through her words.

"There are beads?!"

The carefree girl turned her head abruptly, and looked at the girl who was sitting on the sofa behind her, who was savoring the tea at some point.

"What's the matter? Qingzi."

The fairy tale witch spoke to Aozaki Aoko with her usual steady voice.

"... How long have you been watching behind your back?"

Qingzi used some tentative words to ask his own Youzhu, and subconsciously put on a defensive posture with his hands.

As the other party's cohabitant, she is quite aware of how narrow-minded this witch is.

When you encounter something you care about and cannot stop.

Qingzi would usually step forward to intervene without hesitation, even if the intervention was of no avail, Qingzi would still act.

But Kuonji Yuju is just the opposite. The girl will watch everything silently behind her back, then keep all the unhappiness in her heart, and look for opportunities to revenge secretly in the future.

The question before Qingzi right now is how long You Zhu has been watching behind his back so secretly and angrily.

This will determine whether Kuonji Yuzu will carry out silent protests against her in the coming days, or whether she will be a vocal assassin.

"Oh~Qingzi, is Jiuyuanji such a narrow-minded person in your eyes?"

"As the number one pony under the Fairy Tale Witch, I am the first to express dissatisfaction."

Hideo Ando, ​​who was on the side, interrupted the topic solemnly at this time.

Aoko Aozaki: "..."

I see you want me to die! !

Qingzi turned to look at Ando Hide beside him, with a particularly fierce look in his eyes.

Now she even suspected that this guy was going to watch his jokes from the very beginning, and pulling her to play games was all on purpose.
