Apocalypse Witch:Volume1 Marika SS

TL:botman

She puffed her cheeks out in exasperation.

They were puffed to the extent of explosion, those cheeks of the childhood friend, Marika Amaashi, with the strawberry blonde curly twintails.

The reason for this was her clothes.

"... I can't accept this."

"Marika, what's your problem with the facilities of the ocean-top Crystal Magic Academy Grimoire? It has a whole gymnasium inside the ship?! You're gonna get struck by lightning if you keep complaining."

"I'm upset about those things that you boys are staring at! What the hell are these clothes! What decade are we living in!? Why do we still have to wear those gym shorts-!!"

Marika's cheeks turned red, as she shyly covered her thighs up. Rather than her dress, it was

Grimoire taught crystal magic, the techniques that allowed one to fight the Threat that plunged the world into crisis, so obviously, there were a lot of situations where you had to move your body.

Kamazuki Gekiha stood beside Karuta Utagai, putting on a serious expression.

"Of course, this principal... He not only discovered crystal magic, he systemized it, and even had the foresight to create this school. It's truly no wonder that he had a bronze statue of himself built."

"He wouldn't create this school just to instigate the revival of short gym shorts, would he?"

Seemingly annoyed with the boys who were watching from a safe distance talking nonsense, Marika's curly twintails swayed back and forth, much like a wave.

"Arghh, screw this, I'm going straight to the principal and negotiating! So what if I wear hot pants!!"

"Stop it, you idiot! Don't destroy the final paradise for mankind because of your personal opinions!!"

Later, even being surrounded by noisy students, the silver-haired gentleman remained as still as a mountain.

He then said this, with a misty-eyed look in his eyes:

"Well, you can change into hot pants if you want."

"Great!"

"Wait, Marika, there's something wrong."

And just as Karuta had warned.

You could never let your guard down. After all, this was no normal school. This was Crystal Magic Academy on the Sea, Grimoire, where anything could happen and it would not be out of place!!

"Although the visual impact of hot pants are a bit weaker than of gym shorts, since hot pants absorb sweat, it'll cling onto the curves of the body. If one squats in that state, the rounded curve of the butt will become clearly visible. Because this situation is so rare, one'll feel like something incredibly lucky has happened to them. And if it's hot pants, if it's fitted on loosely... You boys following me? I'm referring to a situation where the panties stretch upwards. Squatting in hot pants, it allows one to see the upper bit of the panties stick out of the outer pants. The probability of that kind of miracle..."

Marika's "Hey, uhh" was drowned out by the incessant speech.

However, she was not defeated by this.

After a few days of recovered, she clenched her fists, shouting:

"If both gym shorts and hot pants are out of the question, I'll just wear safety shorts!!"

"...Why do I feel like you're getting led around by the principal again."
