"Calm down, Asuna!" Konoe Konoka said helplessly to Asuna. Why was she so easily agitated today? At the same time, Ryuudou also came down from the second floor.
"Don't worry, Negi is very smart. Starting today, Negi will be your homeroom teacher for Class A!" Ryuudou said with a smile to Asuna, but unexpectedly, after hearing this, Asuna's expression became even more agitated. Her crush, her teacher, was being replaced by this brat—anyone would feel agitated, right?
"What?! How can this be! I don't like this kind of brat at all! He, he just said something rude to me… he said something disrespectful!" Asuna said agitatedly, giving Negi a look of dislike. She looked at Negi as if he were a plague god, wishing he would get as far away from her as possible right now.
"That's the truth…" Oh, boy~ don't provoke her fragile heart any further. Didn't you see that she was already on the verge of exploding?
"That's clearly nonsense!" The boy's weak voice was directly interrupted by Asuna. "I hate brats the most! Especially short, unremarkable, and immature brats like you!" Due to the damage to her maiden's heart, Asuna said to Negi with tears in her eyes. She didn't notice that her pigtails swept across Negi's face, making him look like he was about to sneeze.
"Hachoo—" A wind, not naturally formed, swept up. For those in the inner world, this was a recognizable fixed Magic Formula called "Wind Flower, Armed Release." As a result, Asuna, who was too close, had all her clothes except her underwear turn into strips of cloth and fly away. Everyone except the twin-tailed girl was thinking that she was currently wearing bear panties.
"Ah—ah—ah… Waaahhhhhh!!! How could this happen!!!" The twin-tailed girl's shriek echoed throughout Mahora.
"Oh my~ Oh my~ I didn't expect to see such a sight as soon as I arrived. Thank you for the treat. But you're already a middle schooler, is it really okay to still be wearing bear panties? I feel like even plain white panties would be more mature than yours. I didn't expect the little one from back then to regress so much." Just as they were worried about the twin-tailed girl's situation, a teasing voice suddenly came, seemingly delighted by her current naked state, making her feel even more ashamed.
The four turned around and saw a Little Girl wearing a white straw hat appear not far from them. Although the large straw hat prevented them from seeing her face clearly, her small stature indicated that she must be a cute Little Girl. The rabbit puppet on her left hand was covering its mouth, laughing 'Pfft! Pfft!' It seemed the voice had come from the puppet. Ryuudou frowned when he saw her, then suddenly realized something and widened his eyes. A guess was forming in his mind.
"Who are you?" Ryuudou stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Negi, Asuna, and Konoka. He asked with a slight tremor in his voice. The fact that she could approach them so closely without him noticing proved her strength. And that familiar figure and familiar sense of closeness, if he wasn't mistaken. At the same time, many Magicians hiding in the shadows began to gather. They didn't know what kind of existence the other party was, only that she was very dangerous.
"Oh my~ Oh my~ Xiao Ryuudou, you haven't forgotten, have you? Although more than ten years have passed, it shouldn't be that easy to forget, right? You know, we went through life and death together back then. It seems peaceful times have made you forget many things." The rabbit puppet's voice came again, like a complaint from an old friend, further solidifying Ryuudou's thoughts.
"Xiao Ryuudou?" Several people said, somewhat puzzled. The other party looked about the same age as Negi. Why could she call the thirty-something Ryuudou "Xiao Ryuudou"? The seniority was all messed up, wasn't it? Could it be that the other party was actually an elderly person whose body had simply stopped developing?
"It really is you, Yoshinon. No one else talks like that except you. If I'm not mistaken, Her Highness the Saintess should be back too, right? Sleeping for over ten years made us wait a bit too long." Ryuudou smiled happily and lit a cigarette, waving his left hand in the air to send all the Magicians hiding in the shadows back. This was not an enemy.
"What Her Highness the Saintess, didn't I say you should call me by my name? Ryuudou. We're partners, you know, it makes me feel uncomfortable." At this moment, the girl who had been looking down finally spoke, causing Negi and the others to involuntarily look at her, curious about her voice. It felt very pleasant to listen to.
"You can just call me Yoshino, Ryuudou." Yoshino lifted her head, revealing her face to them.
It was just another meeting after more than ten years.
