My inner thoughts at the start of the broadcast: Wow breasts

My inner thoughts at the end of the broadcast: Wow breasts

(´⊙ω⊙`) Looking at the ages of confirmed magical girls so far, Beginning-chan must be 17 or under, completely high school level.

Everyone, where are you going holding your pants www

(A masked figure wearing a horse mask stands in the center of the screen.)

“Hello.”

“I will get straight to the point: I want to recreate Beginning-chan’s breasts.”

“But there’s a challenge from the start.”

“Beginning-chan’s body profile doesn’t exist anywhere.”

(A photo of Shizuku)

“So I want to compare using Shizuku-san, who is currently actively working as an amateur baker.”

(A captured photo of Shizuku and [Beginning] standing side by side)

“From Shizuku-san’s published height, we can estimate that Beginning-chan is about 160cm tall.”

(Creates a 160cm female model using a body proportion calculation program)

“From here on, it’s a time of patience.”

(Adjusts approximate values for foot size, hand size, neck circumference, shoulder width, body fat percentage, muscle mass to create the most similar silhouette)

“This took 6 hours so far.”

(Compares with broadcast capture photos to find the breast size with the most similar shading)

“Now that we know the size, we’ll start making a silicone model with advice from a professional women’s underwear designer.”

Mr. A from Hokkaido: Wherever I go on Witch Talk, it’s all about [Beginning] (laugh)

Miss C from Saga: Well, with Kabukicho and all, her solo performance level is different ww

Mr. A from Hokkaido: Just looking at what appeared on the broadcast, everyone seems to avoid mentioning it, so I thought ‘Eh… am I the only fan?’ (laugh)

Mr. H from Kumamoto: It’s probably because it seems to be in opposition to Fujimoto, so people are being cautious

Miss C from Saga: Honestly, even when I saw that broadcast, I was surprised at how indifferent I felt, thinking ‘Ah, Fujimoto is being Fujimoto again.’

Mr. H from Kumamoto: Since the Meiji era, everyone’s been scared and just can’t say it, but they all know ww

Mr. A from Hokkaido: I was surprised that Fujimoto unexpectedly let it slide smoothly.

Mr. H from Kumamoto: Yeah, I thought they would issue a public wanted notice, if only for face.

Mr. A from Hokkaido: I hope Beginning-chan stays around and keeps active for a long time. The things she says are beautiful ww

Miss C from Saga: Kind and with an amazing style, she’s a complete angel ww

It was dizzying.

There were even posts mocking me by comparing my bust shots with those of girls like the magical girl of [Baking] or the magical girl of [Nursing] who frequently appeared on broadcasts.

‘Is, is this okay to do? Shizuku or Himari would be hurt if they saw this.’

There were also suspiciously exaggerated fan arts of buttocks or breasts, cosplays (with fake breasts attached), ‘I tried dyeing my hair similar silver,’ and so on.

“How many different ways are they playing with me? It’s surprising that most of the keywords are about breasts.”

“Leader has been all of Japan’s content since her first appearance, you just didn’t know it.”

“It’s amazing that you’re only finding out now.”

Ichika and Kyoko were lying on the floor, grinning as they showed me videos and posts related to me.

‘Is it because of the impression of being the first bloomed magical girl?’

In the original work, the first bloomed magical girl was Sumire, the magical girl of [Protection].

However, in the original work, her image was bad because she showed a harsh side in the war that took place from December 2011, when the first blooming appeared, until the magical girl of [War] appeared in 2012.

‘Knowing only her father’s ways, she struggled with her father’s ghost on her back and died miserably to [War].’

In contrast, the interest the public is showing me now is close to a kind of affection.

It’s not a magical girl forcibly commercialized by companies, but a liking felt from seeing actions as they are.

“This is…”

Having never received this kind of attention from an unspecified majority before, I felt a bit dazed and embarrassed.

“Look at that, as soon as you found out, you’re enjoying the attention.”

“I’ve been thinking this for a while, but while pretending not to want to stand out, you really love getting attention.”

“Shut up, it’s natural for people to like receiving attention.”

“Wow, that’s exactly the logic of an attention seeker.”

“Shut up! So what are we going to do about the housewarming party?”

“Look at you forcibly changing the subject! It’s funny.”

Slap!

“Ugh?!”

“Answer quickly before I hit you again!”

I slapped Kyoko’s thigh hard as she was lying down using her phone, and urged Ichika.

“I looked it up, and we need to file a moving-in notification, check the room condition, and do various things before having the party.”

“Didn’t the orphanage say they sent all the necessary documents?”

“Haah, they were faster than when giving allowances, so relieved to have one less mouth to feed.”

“It was the same for me! I’m disappointed! They checked documents when giving allowances!”

“Heh, I always said I was buying snacks and got fake receipts from the old man at the candy store.”

Given the circumstances of orphanages where purely donation-based spots are insufficient, Ichika and Kyoko, being over 16 and having secured a residence, seemed to be among those they wanted to leave even without an incident.

‘The weed-like vitality of these kids is something else.’

Even I, who had done all sorts of part-time jobs in my previous life, couldn’t have maintained such a stable lifestyle pattern as now without the help of Master and the Sato couple when I first came to this world.

“Oh right, they said to check inside the closet and floor after moving in.”

“It’s because of the tatami and mold, I brought the sprays earlier, let’s spray them now.”

Hiss

Hiss

Since it was an old apartment, residents of Planet B were inevitably often spotted, so we sprayed pest control spray thoroughly in every corner of the room. Surprisingly, there weren’t many areas with mold or torn tatami.

‘Strange, I’ve never seen a caretaker in this apartment.’

Pushing aside the uneasiness, we sprayed disinfectant on a dry cloth and scrubbed hard, and before we knew it, it was completely night. Despite the room still smelling of chemicals, Ichika and Kyoko said they would sleep in their room.

The next day, Ichika and Kyoko said they would go to the ward office to file a moving-in notification.

While Ichika and Kyoko were out, I contacted the people to invite to the housewarming party.

“Heheh, I want to go too, but I’m sorry that my probation period isn’t over yet.”

Haruko, being a minor subject to juvenile law and considering the current social meaning of a magical girl’s star, received a suspension of prosecution in court, with the decisive sentencing reason being that it was violence committed for self-protection purposes.

“Wow! I’ll go! Hikari-chan! Thanks for inviting me!”

Hana accepted refreshingly as soon as I stated my business.

“It’s been a while, Shirogane-san! I heard everything from Ichika-chan and Kyoko-chan!”

The four magical girls working as apprentices at the home handicraft factory in Saitama Prefecture accepted readily, as if they already knew.

‘It’s going to be bustling again after a long time.’

Although only a month had passed since the days when 13 girls lived together preparing for the debutante, I felt a rush of nostalgia.

‘It was something planned targeting Fujimoto, but the real cause was in this society.’

Japanese companies in this world were just not taking the lead because they were wary of Fujimoto, but if the fundamental perception of magical girls hadn’t changed, a second research facility could have appeared at any time.

“We’re back!”

“We’re back, I say!”

“Everyone except Busujima-san said they can attend.”

“Ah~ As expected, getting out right after the trial was too much, I say.”

“Heh~ I’ll have to feed that cheeky Sato kid the orphanage’s special dark hot pot!”

“What are you trying to feed Hana-chan!”

“Leader, you’re subtly favoring Sato, I say.”

“That’s because you two keep trying to play tricks!”

We exchanged silly banter while organizing the list of things needed for the housewarming party in a few days.
