Accepting the job and another adventure

"In your case, it seems to be a special type of magic known as sympathy magic."

"So, how exactly does this sympathy magic work?"

"Yes, it's a very rare magic because it allows you to perceive and adapt to the emotions of others, having a variety of uses depending on the user. It's very rare to find someone with that type of magic!"

<"Interesting, and very appropriate for you.">

"Really?

Well, I already expected it wouldn't be offensive magic, so I guess it's okay, but if it's a magic that depends on how the user uses it, then I guess I'll have to train it (in secret).

"Then, tell me quickly how to deactivate this transformation."

"You just need to visualize your original appearance while releasing the tension in your body, boss!"

".... Mmm."

(¡¡Poof!!)

And after a bit of concentration, I opened my eyes hearing that sound as I looked at my gloveless hands, pants instead of a skirt, and the familiar school uniform shirt.

"I'm back!!"

"As expected of the boss! What great talent! You'll get a salary bonus!"

The annoying bear fairy was saying things behind me, but I paid them no mind at the sweet relief of returning to normal... Although I won't lie... I did like flying...

I'll only do it in secret!!

This transformation is sealed in public, that's my decision. And with that, I decided to part ways with the bear fairy, who left me a cell phone to receive magical girl emergency alerts...

"Hey... Can't I leave this job to others?"

"Of course, boss, but only if you can save them!"

Well, I can help them in my Silver Knight form, so there's not much problem with that condition, but won't they give me anything for getting into these troubles?

UNACCEPTABLE.

"So, will you pay me?"

So I said this with a "sweet" smile while kindly asking (demanding) payment for my efforts.

"Of course we'll pay you, boss! The cell phone you received comes with a point exchange to get magical objects!"

So, to check if it was true, I looked at the list of redeemable items in the phone's catalog.

"Huh?!"

Until I stopped, shocked by one of the items listed.

"Is this really for sale?!"

"Oh, that? Of course, boss, although it's something that's never requested, but it's worth a lot of points."

"I accept."

"Huh?"

"I accept working!!"

If I have to sacrifice a bit of my dignity to get what's listed there, then it's totally worth it.

<"Even though you say you can be indifferent, you were actually worried, weren't you?">

"I don't know what you're talking about."

<"I also saw what you're trying to get, and let me tell you, you're being very optimistic and naive.">

"I won't deny it."

<"Being naive can cost you dearly, but even so, I don't dislike that part of you.">

".... Thanks, Echidna."

And with that conversation with Echidna, I went back home.

(Mom!!)

"Huh?!"

Being greeted by a straw doll energy... What happened?

------------------------------------------------------------------

[That same day some time ago]

The straw dolls are curses that show great hatred towards trucks, but otherwise they are extremely innocent and playful, which is why whenever Mireya isn't present, they can usually be seen playing everywhere.

Whether they are training to protect their "mother" or bothering the cat Lysandra while she takes her nap, they are always active in one way or another.

(Where am I?)

And it is precisely because of this behavior that one of the straw dolls ended up sleeping in one of the pockets of Sara's maid outfit, who had gone shopping as Mireya's orders dictated, as usual.

"Hey, beautiful, come hang out with us."

"Nice costume."

However, a group of delinquents had gotten in her way today, which triggered a "defense order" from Mireya.

"Sara only belongs to her owner, so Sara will eliminate the thieves."

"Huh? Aaaghh?!"

"But wha-argh?!"

Causing Sara to move at supersonic speed, generating a shockwave in her wake to send the delinquents flying, but...

(Uuaahh!!)

That same wave also knocked the straw doll out of the pocket, sending it flying until it landed on a distant roof.

(Ouch, now what?)

Far from Sara, the confused straw doll looked around.

(I must go back to Mom!)

Before happily deciding to return home, taking out from its "stomach" a small blanket adapted to its size that its "mother" had made as a gift for all the straw dolls, placing it like a cape.

(Here I go!!)

And thus beginning its little adventure.
