Shizuka Otonashi || Super Magical Runway || June 28 SUN
After a struggle to open her eyes from the heavy drowsy feeling, Shizuka squinted as the sudden light blinded her vision for a moment. In an attempt to adjust her eyes, hazel orbs slowly open themselves just to be greeted by obnoxiously colorful spotlights.
"Wh... Where am I...?" Being unable to recall what had happened before becoming unconscious, the raven haired maiden straightened her sitting posture to survey the unfamiliar surroundings.
..... Sparkling runway stage. Limitless shower of cherry blossom petals. Colorful lights randomly beaming throughout the runway. Sparkles and bubbles floating in the air. ... Just
where on earth was she? Blinking at such an odd sight, the poor girl then realized there was some kind of transparent wall before her. As she looked around herself, Shizuka quickly stood on her feet from her discovery. She was inside a transparent showcase.
How did she end up here in the first place? In a sudden panic, the teen desperately tapped her hands against the transparent case while screaming, hoping someone would hear her,
"I-Is anyone out there? P-Please help me!" As if to respond to her call for help, another's voice was heard. Except... she was laughing, and it was a voice too familiar to her.
It was the sound of her own voice.Puzzled at the laughter with her voice, Shizuka's hand covered her lips in shock. In a mocking tone, the owner of the laughing voice chuckled and revealed herself before... herself? Widened eyes stared at the smirking mirror image, in an extravagantly-made white magical girl outfit, that now stood in front of her. Unable to find the words to express how utterly confused she was, the other parted her lips,
"What's the matter? Hoping for a charming prince to come and save you?" Who is she and how is she able to read my thoughts?, Shizuka continued being speechless, her hands trembling in fear.
"No response? I was right, wasn't I?" A devilish giggle escaped the mirror image's lips.
"You always sought attention from your senpais and customers to treat you as the princess you deserve to be treated as. Just like the protagonists of the games you play and mangas you read! Isn't that so?"Slowly shaking her head in disbelief, Shizuka's trembling lips began to retort against the look alike.
"N-No... T-That's not how I fe-feel...! I-I genuinely enjoy their company, I-I wouldn't ask for a-anymore." Leaning forward and waving her index finger as if she had said something wrong, the look alike teased,
"Tsk tsk tsk. You shouldn't lie to yourself like that, deary. I can hear the hesitance in your voice as clear as day." Just noticing the presence of another in the area, the magical girl outfitted image turned towards the group with a delighted expression.
"Oh, look who we have here! Our beloved senpais actually came to rescue you it seems. Fufufu, I wonder if they've heard how much of an attention seeking girl you are!"Shizuka flinched at the mention of her upperclassmen and turned her attention towards the group of four.
"Ha-Harvester-senpai!" Just the sight of the upperclassman put her at slight ease until the other Shizuka spoke ill of her.
The once smiling lips on the other girl curved into a more scheming grin as she continued her ramble,
"Too many senpai routes to pick from, what's a girl to do? Poor gullible Harvester-senpai over there has no idea you're a born otome game protagonist, you can't simply pick one! You only picked him first because he conveniently confessed. It saved all the work on your part! But like all otome game protagonists, we'll eventually have to move onto the next routes waiting for us. Sorry senpai but this is the real me, ohohohoho~!" "S-Stop saying such horrible things! Se-Senpai, it's not true, p-please don't listen to he-her...!" Eyes starting to moist with tears, the raven haired maiden pleaded, her body trembling from frustration at this mirror image that just seemed to know anything about her. Just what did she want and why was she causing this much grief to her?
"W-Why... Why are you to-tormenting me like this wi-with these lies...?""Me? Lie? But I've been telling the truth about us the whole time, silly Shizuka! After all, I am you. The part of you that you keep hiding away from everyone, Shizu-chan! There's no need to be ashamed that you want to live in your own shoujo manga with your very own harem! We both know that's what we want and with the senpais here with us, our dream has come true~!" A hysterical laugh echoed through the runway, creepy enough to send slight chills to anyone who knew of her.
Unable to hold back the overflowing tears, Shizuka desperately screamed out towards the 'fake' with streams of tears rolling down her cheeks,
"Yo-You are not me! Yo-You don't understand how I t-truly feel at all!"As if a magical phrase has been said, the look alike paused for a moment. A devilish giggle once again, before she spoke for the last time,
"Fufufu, those were the exact words I've been waiting for! With the miracle power of a maiden's heart, transform~!"Like some sort of fantasy magical girl transformation sequence, the imitator was suddenly wrapped in a pastel colored, psychedelic orb with ribbons, from out of nowhere, fully envelop the orb until POOF. Sparkles exploded from where the orb used to be and was replaced with a figure of a fox demon.
"There will be no escape from me, senpais~!"Boss theme:
