✨ Nopan Mahou Shoujo ✨


However, Kouhei wasn't doing this out of sheer goodwill. He had ulterior motives for this naive girl.

"Say, Hanako-chan. Do you think it is completely random which girl gets chosen to be contracted?"

"I .... never really thought about it."

"You see, I think the chance to be contracted is way higher, if you already fulfill the requirements to be a magical girl. This way, the contractor can already be sure who he is signing and doesn't have to just hope that you can develop the necessary traits."

"I see, I see! This makes sense! So what are those requirements then!!"

His explanation sounded logical. If magical girls would exist, that is. Full of motivation and curiosity, Hanako inquired further guidance.

The dialogue was playing out perfectly according to his plan, so he had Hanako exactly at the point he wanted, in the center of his little sugar coated trap.

He decided to make this chance count. The probably only chance he would be given his life for what he planned with this girl. He made up his mind and switched to a serious tone when he started replying to her question in a blunt way as if it would be the most obvious thing in the world.

"I think the most important requirement is how comfortable a girl is to not wear panties."

"Eeeeeeeh!! Kouhei-kun!! There is no way someone...--"

"Think about it for a second", he interrupted her complaint, "you never have seen the panties of any magical girl, right?"

After surveying the illustrations of various magical girls who were scattered around the big table, Hanako came to a realization.

"...I... I never knew! But you are right! You never see them!"

The reasoning worked so well because all the illustrations were brought to this meeting by Hanako herself, so Kouhei wouldn't have the possibility to manipulate any of them. For whatever reason she always carried a few illustrations around, like good luck charms.

"Sssh!" He prompted her to lower her voice so the other visitors of the library wouldn't get too annoyed.

"Ah sorry..!"

Hanako lowered her voice but couldn't stop being any less amazed. Her wide eyes sparkled like stars.

"They really are brave...!"

"Correct. I think if a girl is not able to do that, it is basically an automatic disqualification for becoming a magical girl... Even though of course no one would actually...--"

"Don't say that, Kouhei-kun!" This time it was him that got interrupted by this girl who set her mind on the goal. She was longing for this opportunity. She waited her whole life and wondered why no one would send her a magical girl contract. But today she learned the reason.

"I will do it!"

With the brightest smile, she announced to him that she is willing to meet the requirements to finally get contracted as a magical girl.

After a short loss for words about how flawless his scheme turned out, Kouhei continued.

"However, I dont think it's enough to just try it once or twice. Your possible contractor really has to be sure that you are comfortable with it and that you do it habitually."

Two possible outcomes of this played through his mind. Either Hanako would get angry and fast-steppingley leave the library, not before giving him a slap across his face, probably sending him flying from his chair with his body performing a double rotation in mid-air. An understandable reaction. Or..

"Okay!! If this is what it takes..!!"

Kouhei was left for words once again, his mouth still half open, and didn't know how to respond. Should he tell her that it was just a story he invented on the fly and that magical girls wouldn't exist? This was the last exit he could take before the irreversible future would be set into motion.

"...Do your best then."

Smilingly, Kouhei made up his mind to let her be in the dark for just a bit longer.

After some more heated discussion about magical girls had passed, the first official magical girl mentor meeting came to an end. Aside from Kouhei's scheme, he was mostly listening to Hanako's explanations because he wasn't as knowledgeable as Hanako assumed. 

In the following days, Hanako didn't spend a single moment not thinking back to the insightful first meeting she had with her mentor. It was a completely new concept to her. But it made perfect sense in her mind.

To get used to this new experience brought up by Kouhei, Hanako wanted to practice a few times before actually going to school in the way she would appeal to a contractor. She planned to use the upcoming weekend for this test.

Her first try was a simple walk around the neighborhood. She aimlessly walked around the residential area as her first attempt. She was torn how to feel about it.

On one hand, she didn't feel that different from usual. At times, she almost forgot about her experiment.

On the other hand, once she became aware of the fact with her full mind and understanding, she felt extremely uncomfortable all of a sudden. It was a rollercoaster of sensation and she was just headed into consecutive loopings.

After returning home safe and being greeted by her sister like on any other day, she decided to go for the next step. She would slowly increase the difficulty by increasing the distance she would travel and the time it would take to do so.

The next opportunity she took was when her mother asked her to get groceries from the supermarket.

After taking the money which her mother gave her, she left the house. Not even two minutes later, she came back.

"Forgot something?" The voice of her mother could be heard from the kitchen while she prepared a meal.

"Yeah, but don't worry, I am on my way in a second!" Hanako replied while taking off her panties, which was the thing she still hasn't gotten used to, "Alright. I'm off!"

"Take care."

As a next step, she went to the station and rode the local train line until returning just after a few passed stations.

After the initial feeling of unease she came to a conclusion. "Actually, it is not as awful as I expected. Especially since no one would ever consider that a person would do this."

The tutorial missions were completed. She was ready for the real deal. The first time going to school without panties had come. All in order to become a magical girl.
