Editing Mahou Sensou:Volume 1 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 3===
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Takeshi appeared with Kurumi and Ida at the back door of the Sakuraya academy.

"We are fine now, you can go back home if you want." Takeshi said to Ida.

He had allowed Ida to accompany them to that point, but it was no longer convenient for him to stay with them. If he were to look at what would happen to the mirror, it would become a problem. Ida, however, who had no idea of anything, flatly refused and replied:

"Don't worry about me. I can come home late."

Takeshi was surprised by Ida's answer and turned to look Kurumi in the eyes with concern. She didn't know what to advise him and simply shook her head. The three of them continued on their way and because the back door of the institute was open, they were able to enter without any problems.

"Hey, why did you have to go back to school?" Ida asked.

"We just came to get something I forgot. That's why I was telling you that you didn't need to come with us." Takeshi answered conveniently.

Ida tilted her head thoughtfully and said:

"Wow, since I saw that you were talking on your cell phone and then said you were coming to school, I thought you were coming because someone was waiting for you here."

Apparently Ida had overheard part of the conversation Takeshi had with Mui over the phone and his speculation, despite not knowing anything, was very accurate.

"No, you see... it's just that today I had to return something I borrowed, but I left it forgotten here."

Although he was still confused, Ida completely believed Takeshi's story as it seemed congruent and nodded.

"I see... hun... hun... hun..."

Ida started to walk towards the high school building, but was suddenly stopped abruptly by Takeshi who grabbed him by his clothes.

"Ida, that's enough, I appreciate your help."

"Well, even if you tell me that, those strange guys might still be around. I can't just sit around with my arms crossed. I'm too used to action."

"that's because you're a brute." Kurumi said in complete shock.

Ida turned to look at Kurumi and replied:

"I'm no brute, and even if you see me that way, I'm not someone looking for trouble. Fighting is a very normal thing for a student to do."

"Fighting is not a normal thing!"

"What are you talking about? Even your boyfriend, he fights in the street."

At that statement, Kurumi frowned and said:

"Takeshi would never do that."

"Hey, do you think so?"

Ida turned to Takeshi with a suspicious look.

"I don't really like to fight." Takeshi clarified.

When Kurumi heard that statement, she smiled triumphantly saying:

"There you go."

"Ah... Well, even if you say that..." Ida muttered.

A few months ago, when Takeshi helped Futaba, he probably would have fought that guy for her. Maybe he didn't remember he was hiding it. But, even so, Ida had no intention of backing down and continued on his way silently to the classroom they belonged to. He had no intention of backing out, even if he was hiding that event, it was enough that he himself remembered it, so he continued steadily and silently towards the school where his classroom was located. However, Takeshi stopped him again immediately.

"Ida, seriously. You can't come with us anymore."

"but..."

Since they hadn't been able to get rid of him, Kurumi intervened:

"Thank you for your help, but stop being such a pain."

She had to speak harshly despite Ida's good intentions. And she spoke to him so clearly and directly, that Ida was soon in a bad mood and replied:

"For not being from Osaka, you have a very sharp tongue."

Kurumi rebutted:

"How dare you say that to me? I see that you not only look bad, you also talk bad."

"W-what are you saying?" 

Ida pointed at Kurumi pretending to be scared. 

"Nanase, you should reconsider being with her. I don't think it's going to lead to anything good. Even if she's cute on the outside, she's a witch on the inside."

Takeshi made a bitter smile thinking: "she's not a witch, I think it would be more correct to call her a "wizard" and then he answered:

"More or less..."

Hearing that, Kurumi turned to look quickly.

"Hey, Takeshi!"

"I'm kidding." Takeshi replied, raising his hand. 

Kurumi then looked away. Then Takeshi turned to Ida:

"However, Ida, I'm serious when I tell you that you can't accompany us anymore. please go back home."

At Takeshi's insistence, Ida had no choice but to agree.

"Well, if you say you'll be all right, then I'll leave."

Ida went back through the back door where they had entered and Takeshi and Kurumi waited until he was out of sight. They looked around and there was no sign of their pursuers either.

"There must be a big mirror on the second floor of the building." Kurumi said.

Then Takeshi vaguely remembered: On the second floor of the school building where the classrooms were located, there were both personal lockers for storing shoes and for storing things, and right there, there was also a huge mirror donated by the graduates. However, Takeshi did not head straight for that place.

"Before we go there, there's a place I want to pass by."

He walked to the opposite side, heading for the Kendo Club room. Kurumi didn't ask any questions, and simply followed him.
