There were many other things in the back, such as wooden swords, wooden people, magical objects and armor.

Separate them and look for the magic doll that they said they used last year.

"Hey, Misaki, what's up?

Then, I feel something touching my shoulders and look back.

"Bye."

"-----!!

The face of a beast suddenly appeared in front of me.

The moment I saw a lion's face, covered in hair, I clasped my hands to activate magic aggressively.

I thought it was a magical beast, but when I looked closely, I couldn't feel alive on his face.

Then, a giggle of laughter can be heard from behind the beast's face.

The beast's face twitched.

"Ahahaha! Surprised?

It was Masaki who stood there as soon as his face was removed from the side.

I exhale a lot.

"--hey, don't joke about that...."

I almost killed you. Seriously...

Thousands of years ago, I had no hesitation in releasing magic.

"Something surprised me, so I thought I'd scare you. You know, surprised?

Misaki looks at me with his glittering eyes.

Staring straight into that pure expectation, I inadvertently stray.

"Well... somewhat. I'm so glad you broke my shell and looked fine...... just clean it up."

"Yes."

Misaki smiled satisfactorily and finally ruined the object.

"Damn, where did you find it..."

And just behind Masaki left, I found the magic doll I was looking for.

A yellow magic doll with two main lines on its face.

It is consistent with Homura's characteristic.

They were lined up in a rack in triplicate.

Hey, there it is, Misaki.

Really?

Masaki, who told me to dance with the object, peeks into the magic doll as he returns to the run.

"... it's true. You just have to take this, right?

A simple magic doll abandoned for a year.

Covered in dust, he stands secretly in a dim storage room.

"That should be it. --Take it with you.

Hmm, but I wonder if I can hold it all at once.

I look under a rack lined up with magic dolls.

"It looks like there's a pulley on it, so it's okay. Push me."

"Yes, sir."

Ask Misaki to push back and I'll pull forward to move the rack.

Then, Misaki and I managed to carry the magic doll out of the small storage room, and for the first time in a long time, we were exposed to the sun.

Looking at the bright spot, you can see the damage more clearly.

You can see that this magic doll has history.

Well, let's go back.

Thank you for waiting ~

Misaki and the two of you push the rack on the magic doll and return to everyone in the class.

Wow, thank you so much.

Looking at the rising dust, Dorothy drowned lightly.

"Uwah, that's so dusty...."

"If it hadn't been in use for a year, it'd be like this."

"I'm fine... are you okay?

Everyone expresses their thoughts and feelings while touching the magic doll.

Loki, the only one of them, looks at us with his arms around his boring face.

"What's the matter, are you bored?

I somehow speak up.

"... I just want to practice magic. I don't have time for this."

Loki was staring at us with a twitch.

"That said, it's a school event. Have you ever moved a magic doll before?

Loki shook his head with a sigh of frustration.

"Then it's like that practice. Let me show you a sample, Dorothy."

"Eh, me!?

Dorothy looked back with a face she didn't even think about.

"You're good at that. You're good at that."

"Well, I'm in a category I'm pretty good at...."

Magic dolls are made differently depending on their purpose.

Mostly cheap wooden magic dolls with an apologetic level of fire magic on the surface.

When used for training, there are also protective magic techniques other than fire protection, and some are designed to be able to use general-purpose magic.

The system is still simple, with magical formations written on the inside of the limbs, head and torso, where magic flows and the magician manipulates it.

Some neighborhoods call it "marionet."

The test used to be a more high-performance autonomous magic doll (this one is called an automaton), but it seems to be a marionette type that uses only the cheapest minimal behavior at the festival.

This requires endurance that keeps magic flowing deeply, and dexterity that can be well balanced and controlled.

In that regard, Dorothy, who is good at treating Golem as a Golem Master, can be said to be the most qualified of them.

"Well, let me see. Loki, let's fight."

"Hmm... what happens when you fight this? I'm watching."

"I don't know. So, Belle, you want to try it?

"Eh, me?

Bell looks at me confused.

"It's not good, Belle, it's a match!

That's how Dorothy touches the magic doll with a lot of motivation.

The magic flows in, and the eyes shine brightly yellow.

Magic has poured into the magic formation.

A magic doll is a type of magic equipment.

Anyone can use magic.

The loosely moving magic doll stood in front of Dorothy with his hands lowered.

"It doesn't look interesting! Nice!"

Looking at Dorothy's motivation, Bell's motivation rises.

"Fufufu, here we go, Dorothy!

"I'm going to beat Bell here! Even if you lose in direct confrontation, I feel like a magic doll can do it!

Thus began the battle of the magic doll VS Bell.

We are very excited about the noise whilst supporting both.

It was Dorothy's magic doll, who fought surprisingly well, but Bell sealed the movement with a chain.

It seemed like Bell was taking care of the magic doll, but it seemed like it was really hard to do.

But after all, it's an inexpensive magic doll that can't do general magic.

Once we know Dorothy's maneuvering habits, we can quickly drag him into Bell's pace.

I still managed to avoid the bell chains, but I could adjust the timing gradually.

"Don't do it, Belle...!

"Dorothy's operation is pretty good...! But now...!

In a moment, Bell's chain wraps around the magic doll's arm.

The magic doll, who can no longer move, raises his grudge.

"Kuuuuuu...!! Move it!

Dorothy's magic flowed in at once, and the magic doll spasmed violently.

However, the chain could not be broken, and the magic doll stopped moving while smoking.

"Ahahah, I wonder if a magic doll cheap on a boulder can compete."

Dorothy swallows her teeth with regret.

"Kuuu!! That's right! I got on with my momentum, but it's impossible! Take your hands off the bell!

"I pulled it out a bit..."

Dorothy sighs at the words.

"Well, aren't you having fun? I had a good time. It's fun for a non-magician to enjoy it - I can't move it."

"Len, you can't do this."

"Oh, Misaki, you're starting to say ~ Are you going to fight me?

Ahahah, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I haven't felt peace in a long time for my classmates who care about fun.

I'll approach Loki again.

Would you like to move Loki?

"Not interested"

"Really... I'll try to move it a little."

I swapped places with Dorothy and stood behind the magic doll, touching his back.

Practice your magic and stroke...

- Hmm?

However, there is no response at all.

"That's weird."

I don't feel tingling when I pour it in many times.

Is that too much?

"Oh, Gilford. You don't have talent, do you?

Dorothy looks down on me with such a hateful face.

"Ugh! Wait a minute, now...."

The next moment, the right arm of the magical doll fell.

Then it collapses one after the other, completely falling apart and scattering on the ground.

The magic doll's neck rolled to my feet and said, "What are you doing?" and stared at me with vain eyes.

"Me!? Is that me!?
