Well well well~ it’s time for the next arc of AtE! And while I’m at it, Happy Lunar New Year!!! ‘Tis now the Year of the Dog! —and speaking of dogs, Michi has a lot of them!! Just kidding, she has more than a lot (lol).

That aside, I do apologize for the late release. I have realized that with my school, plus having to do weekly releases of CSWH, a monthly release of AtE probably isn’t sustainable for me at the moment (especially since I don’t have a stockpile). So for now (particularly until I’ve caught up with CSWH), releases for AtE will be whenever the arc is finished, probably averaging at about an arc every 1.5 to 2 months. Next arc is 7 chapters, while the one after that is 10, so it might be difficult. But hey, maybe there’s more chapters, but they’re shorter. Who knows? I certainly haven’t checked yet.

Please note that for the sake of convenience and maintaining consistency with the RAWs, the formatting for speech bubbles, etc. has been changed. I’ll be editing Arc 1’s formatting at a later date. The formatting for Michi’s spells has also changed, and for certain characters, I shall be including both Kanji and Katakana translations, with the Kanji’s translation in brackets.

While I do have some complaints about some of the translation this time around, I shall leave them until the end of the arc to avoid any spoilers. So for now, hope you enjoy the chapters!!

AtE Arc 2: The Magical Girl’s Commandments – Chapter 1

A completely private room in the bar with the conveyor belt sushi system, “Ritsu”.

This store, whose manager is a “Tokusen” graduate, is to us Seven Heroes, suitable as a gathering place.

That being said, it wasn’t so easy to gather all the members of our group. The only ones who didn’t have any work arrangements and were thus free to meet up when called out generally just included me, whose professional duties did not extend to nighttime, and the leisurely guy Shidou. This man has the money to be able to visit one place after the other without being fazed like this, so when I think about the reality of my salary, that can’t quite be described as meagre, being unable to even reach his feet, my chest hurts.

「Well then, in celebration of Nana’s inauguration——cheers!」

However, that also ends today.

After Agatsuma Suguru’s case, Tokusen no longer has a Mental System Ability User. Wanting me to do something, the Director clung to me in tears, and having entered the school through my connections, I wasn’t able to turn him down. Having nothing to lose, I tried calling out to my “little brother figure” from way back when.

「Thanks. I was happy to have Michi invite me.」

He spoke in a voice that oozed with delight.

For a man his voice was a little high, but it was a good voice that quickly penetrates your ears.

「You’ve grown. Even though you were just a little brat not too long ago.」

「I don’t wanna hear that from Shidou, who’s still a kid mentally.」

「Ha ha ha. You’ve really said it now.」

The young man’s mysterious blue hair was refreshingly arranged, and his eyes that couldn’t be compared with neither ashes nor silver, gently narrowed.

He was what was probably called the Prince-type. The beautiful youth had grown to the point where one couldn’t even begin to imagine how he had been ridiculed for having a girly name in the distant past.

He was one of the members once known as the “Seven Heroes”, Kagami Nana.

「Michi? Is Michi not going to congratulate me?」

「You know there’s no way I’d do that, right? I was the one who asked you after all. More importantly, is it really okay?」

I reflexively returned to my senses at his eyes trembling insecurely.

Even though he was an ikemen, to show such a cute gesture like that, somehow, it was sly.

「If it’s something that Michi is requesting, there’s no way it could be something bad. Rather, I am happy that Michi is relying on me.」

A complete change from his expression moments ago.

His face revealed a smile, and his delighted figure, which possessed a sex appeal gained as a result of his maturity, shook one’s sense of reason. However, here is where I had to show my spirit as an older sister figure and suppress myself.

Ahh, geez. Yeah, as I thought it’s kind of sly.

「Is that so? Thanks, Nana.」

As a matter of fact, he had a slightly unique birth, and possibly because of that, he often speaks in this sort of straightforward way. The way he talks and informs other of his good will is direct and frank, and there are numerous statements that he says which can cause misunderstandings if other people were to hear it.

But well, having known him since he was young, I have been taking this ticklish friendship with a generous heart. No, cause after all, even if I felt a bit dizzy at his sex appeal, and his body and heart were that of a Prince’s, it’s nothing, you know? He’s my little brother figure after all?

「You haven’t changed. Black-hearted bastard.」

「Shidou also hasn’t changed. Religious fanatic.」

「You’ve said it now. Are you sure you don’t wanna be spoiled by”Onee-chan”?」

「As always, all you do is delude yourself like that. Isn’t it about time you come back to live in reality?」

「Ha ha ha.」

「Hahahahahaha.」

And, as I started to ponder deeply about something, my thoughts went astray, so I wasn’t listening to the conversation between the two of them.

Not good, not good.

「Eh? What? What’s wrong?」

「It’s nuthin’.」

「Nothing is wrong.」

Is it that? The friendship that only fellow men can understand?

Tokusen doesn’t have that many students that burn with youth like in a Shounen manga – hot-blooded, making friendships, or making great efforts for victory, or something like that – so it’s a little lonely.

「Anyways. Congrats on your inauguration. I’m depending on you, Nana.」

「Yup. Leave it to me, Michi. If it’s for Michi’s sake, then I’ll work hard——as bug repellent.」

「Bugs?」

「Since it’s almost summer after all.」

「Something like bugs won’t scare me, you know?」

「Is that so?」

「Yeah.」

Right, because what really scares me is “transforming”!

While rousing the gathering by making such a masochistic joke, my younger brother figure smiled politely, while the chuunibyou gave a roar of laughter.

So one way or another, our Tokusen Kantou area had another hero newly appointed.
