Chapter 1 – Magical Girl Noah
Part 1
“I am bored… I’m bored… Uuhh, I’m so bored~…”
On the way home from Ousei Academy.
A girl let out a long sigh with a worried look on her face.
She had long, shiny hair that reached down to her waist and clear eyes.
Her appearance was so beautiful that anyone would be captivated by her, and her back was beautifully straight.
The name of this girl, who perfectly fits the description of a Japanese beauty, is Kaori Houjou.
She is beautiful and academically talented. In addition, she is the daughter of the president of one of the world’s most elite schools, Ousei Academy, and is also a student council officer.
She is a young lady who truly embodies the phrase “talented and beautiful” with the grace and kindness befitting the daughter of a good family. Due to her perfection, some students even call her “princess” and admire her.
However, despite her radiant aura, her expression is troubled and clouded.
“Ugh… I don’t feel like doing anything. Is Yuuya-san busy? I haven’t seen him much lately…”
Kaori has feelings for a certain person named Yuuya Tenjou, but he is so extraordinary that he constantly causes unprecedented incidents to happen around him.
After getting used to such an extraordinary everyday life, Kaori now feels a bit dissatisfied with the uneventful days she spends without Yuuya.
“Ugh, I’m bored… I wonder if something exciting will happen? Like a mysterious fairy appearing, or me getting a crazy ability like Yuuya-san and saving the world… Gosh, what am I thinking?”
She shakes her head, embarrassed by her unrealistic fantasies.
“Because of Yuuya-san, I’ve been having all kinds of dreamlike fantasies lately. I’d better go home and review the English lesson I had today─Kyaaa!”
She stumbles over something and stops in a panic.
“Oh, that was close. What exactly did I trip over?”
Kaori turned around, thinking that if it was a branch or something, she should move it to the side for safety… But what she saw was the lower half of a girl’s body sticking out from under a vending machine.
“A-a person is dead…!”
Kaori screamed involuntarily, and a faint voice reached her ears.
“Fuh… it hurts…”
The faint voice came from the girl who was trapped under the vending machine.
“Ah, you’re alive! Are you okay? I’ll get you out now!”
She grabbed the limp legs and pulled with all her strength.
“Heave ho!”
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!? It hurts~!”
“Awawa, I’m sorry…! It seems like something is stuck in there, and I can’t move it at all!”
“Probably because my breasts have grown recently~!”
“B-breasts~…”
Kaori couldn’t help but look down at her modest breasts.
“Oh no~! The ants have swarmed; please get me out quickly~!”
“Ah, I’m sorry!”
She tried pushing and pulling, but it wouldn’t budge.
“Hm, hm, it’s no use, it won’t come out! How on earth did that happen…?”
“Waaaaaah, I don’t want to die here! I don’t want to die until I’ve become a millionaire, eaten all the delicious food I want, and slept in a soft bed! I also want to laugh maniacally in a bathtub full of money with a fan made of wads of cash in my hand, I want to hire my nasty seniors as maids and make them work like crazy, and I want to keep my sarcastic boss in a tank with piranhas and watch him while drinking wine. I can’t die until I’ve achieved all these ambitions~~~!”
“Y-You have some pretty outrageous ambitions, don’t you? Please don’t struggle so much~~!”
The girl’s legs flailed around.
With the momentum, a small object fell out of Kaori’s pocket.
A hard metallic sound rang out.
“T-that metallic sound… Could it be money…?”
The girl, who had not moved at all until then, jumped out from under the machine with tremendous force.
“Kyaaa?!”
“Did I just hear a jingle? Where is it? It’s here…”
The girl picked up the object and held it high in the air.
“I’m sorry, but this is a hairpin. I always carry it with me for when I have to tie up my hair for gym class…”
“Hoh…”
Looking at the hairpin in her hand, the girl slumped her shoulders in disappointment.
“Oh, it was just a false alarm… but wait, did I get out?”
“Yes, you got out safely. That’s a good thing.”
Kaori smiles softly at the girl, who stares dazedly with wide eyes.
The girl bursts into tears and hugs Kaori.
“Uwaahhhh, thank you so much! I was stuck in a corner and didn’t know what to do, and I thought I was finished! If you hadn’t helped me, I would have been torn to pieces by wild dogs, pecked at by crows, and my bones would have been sucked clean by cats~!”
“I-I’m not sure if I was much help, but… anyway, I’m glad you’re okay. For now, please come this way.”
Kaori sat the sobbing girl down on a bench in the shade of a tree.
She gently wiped the girl’s tear- and mud-stained face with a handkerchief.
“That must have been terrible. Are you in pain?”
“Oh, how kind of you! I’m fine, and I’ll never forget your kindness!”
The girl who was crying and sobbing was very different in appearance from the Japanese.
She had pale blonde hair tied in twin tails and blue eyes.
Her small face was doll-like, with a touch of childishness.
Her clothes were a simple dress that looked a little worn upon closer inspection, but the girl’s pretty face made up for the shabbiness.
“Are you a foreigner? But you speak Japanese very well.”
Kaori asked the girl, muttering to herself.
“But why were you in this place?”
“I was looking for some coins!”
“C-coins?
“Yes. I had a situation where I really needed money… I saw something glittering down there, so I jumped in with joy, but even with this, I couldn’t reach it at all…!”
The girl who emphasized her frustration held a walking stick in her hand.
The stick was covered with jewel-like decorations, and it was not only beautiful to look at, but it also gave off a mysterious aura that even Kaori, who was used to seeing many famous items, could recognize at a glance.
“Oh my, it’s a beautiful staff! It’s a little dirty, though, probably because you scratched it when you tried to get under the vending machine…”
“Ugh, if this stick was a little longer, I could have reached it…! I’m so frustrated…!”
“Well, even if the money was there, it’s not okay to take something you find and make it your own.”
“What? Is that true?!”
The girl looked extremely shocked.
“But still, what kind of situation would make you need money so badly…?”
“That is…”
The girl started to say, clutching the walking stick. At that moment…!
“Ah, I found you!”
“Piieeee!?”
Turning around at the angry voice, they saw a burly man in an apron glaring at the girl.
He looked very angry, and the veins in his impressively shaved head stood out.
The girl dropped to her knees at the speed of light and, trembling, handed over a few coins.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this is all I have…!”
“Like I said, you can’t use this money! That’s enough, I’m turning you over to the police!”
“Pyaaaaaaaaah! Please don’t do that!”
Unable to leave the girl trembling like a little rabbit, Kaori hurriedly called to her.
“W-wait, what exactly happened?”
“She didn’t pay for her food! That girl ate all the crepes in our shop and then said she didn’t have any money.”
As Kaori looked around, she saw a crepe shop in a square a short distance away.
It was a crepe shop popular with Ousei Academy students. Students who looked like they had just come back from club activities stood in line, carrying things like shoes and tennis rackets.
The man seemed to be the owner of the crepe shop.
The girl hung her head in front of the angry shopkeeper.
“Ugh, actually, I’ve only been eating bean sprouts for a few days…”
“What!?”
“Oh, but it’s okay; there are all kinds of weeds growing here, and I can drink water too! This city is wonderful; you can drink as much clean water as you want by turning on the tap in the park!”
“S-such a hard life…?”
The girl nods and slumps her shoulders.
“I was looking for some nice weeds here today, but that food called ‘crepe’ looked so delicious… I forgot that I have no money in this world and ended up eating a lot of it…”
The girl, with tears in her eyes, was holding a coin she had never seen before.
“This is definitely an unknown coin. I wonder if you’re not from Japan after all…”
The shopkeeper mercilessly dragged the frightened girl away.
“I don’t know where you’re from, but you’re causing me trouble. Let’s go to the police.”
“Pyaaaaaaaaah! Please forgive me; if my seniors find out that I’m causing more trouble, I’ll be fired for real, this time, in a physical sense!”
“In a physical sense?!”
Kaori is stunned, but the shopkeeper is not listening.
“That’s not going to work! Now, come on!”
“Pigyaaaaaa!”
Kaori shouted in panic.
“W-wait a minute! Um, uh, is there something──”
While being stared at by the shopkeeper, Kaori frantically searched her bag──
“Oh, look what I found!”
Kaori put the thing she had taken out into the shopkeeper’s hands.
“Eh? T-this is──”
“Yes, it’s a pile of money! Is it enough?”
“”Pile of money…””
The girl and the crepe shop owner are taken aback by the sudden appearance of a thick pile of money.
“Whoaaaaa! A-a-a pile of money? Is that really a pile of money? I’ve never seen anything like it!”
“No, no, no, no! I don’t need that much; 10,000 yen is enough, and I have enough change!”
“Oh, is that so? I’m sorry, I panicked and just…”
“Just? You just happened to have that much money on you?!”
“A-anyway, here’s your change! Thank you for your patronage!”
The shopkeeper, completely taken aback, handed over the change and hurriedly left.
“Phew, that was close.”
Kaori breathed a sigh of relief when the girl spoke.
“Ah, thank you very much! Um…”
“Ah, I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kaori Houjou.”
“Kaori-san! My name is Noah!”
“I see, you’re Noah. But what happened to you that you ended up like…”
Kaori was about to speak when the girl─Noah─ leaned forward energetically.
“But that’s not important! Kaori-san!”
“Y-yes!?”
“Do you always carry such a large amount of money with you, Kaori-san!?”
“No, it’s not like that… but maybe the maid put it there by mistake, thinking it was a lunch box. They’re about the same size…”
“How could you mistake a bundle of money for a lunch box? Or rather, what kind of maid is she? Could it be that Kaori is the daughter of a very rich family?”
“Hmm, I don’t know… I don’t think so…”
Kaori tilted her head, and Noah rubbed her hands together and leaned in close.
“Um, I’m going to ask you a rather personal question, but… what kind of house do you live in, Kaori-san?”
“Huh?”
“How many rooms, how big is the yard…”
“Well, I never counted exactly, but… I think there are about 96 rooms.”
“96 rooms!?”
“Oh, that includes the maids’ rooms, of course. The garden isn’t that big, just a fountain and a small forest. My father’s guests often come to ride horses.”
“A forest in the garden for riding? W-what kind of work does your father do?”
“He’s the chairman of the school board now, and he’s focused on developing human resources. He used to be involved in a lot of different things, but now he seems to be leaving the management to people he trusts.”
“Whoaaaa~~~After running several companies, he retired and is now pouring his heart and soul into training young people with a future, isn’t he? He’s a real rich man! Kaori-san, no, Kaori-sama!”
Noah’s eyes lit up, and in the blink of an eye, she was kneeling before Kaori.
“No-Noah-san? What are you…”
“Please, please take care of Noah! I’ll do anything, even lick your shoes, see? Lick, lick, lick!”
“Kyaaa!? P-please stop!?”
“Whoaaa, please make me your slave! I promise to devote my whole life to you with all my heart and soul, and I’ll gladly submit to you! Look, I’m licking you!”
“Noah-san, please calm down! The other people are watching you!”
She manages to stop Noah from licking her shoes.
