Magical Boy ~ English version

Chapter 14

The girls were all happy with their outfits. No incident like Mineko's happened again. The shy Soma Yuto was especially happy with her power, which was to talk with animals. Nanaya hadn't really followed the different transformations. Most with pastel colors, pink, bows and lace. He was afraid he would end up wearing such a costume. Inoue's, which had been given the name Black Swan, and the very simple power to spread wings, was dark, oscillating between black and a little red. Nanaya would have gladly picked up the accessory she was wearing, but they were earrings and his weren't pierced. Three o'clock was well past when Angel Ferret called him.

"You are left, Uchiri." She declared. 

The young man took a deep breath and stepped forward, Hyokko hovering beside him. The creature stammered out some incomprehensible words, even more stressed than his human.

"I did not understand." Nanaya sighed.

"Ah. Hm..." the guardian hesitated. "Your magical gi ~ hm... boy. Magical boy name."

"...Yes ?"

"... F ... Frosty Kitty. "

Nanaya sighed. It wasn't the worst he had heard. He glanced at his bracelet. He hadn't really looked at how his classmates were doing, but he seemed to get it. He raised the arm where the jewel was, glancing at Hyokko who motioned for him to lift it as high as possible. This is what he did.

"Frosty Kitty, transformation."

He hadn't shouted that sentence, like his classmates, and for a second thought it wasn't going to work, but the bracelet began to sparkle to become a scepter. His clothes followed immediately behind, changing. Tights. Tall boots. Baggy mini-shorts. A shirt with a short jacket and a discreet bow at the collar. All in blue and white colors. His black hair turned ice blue as his red-colored tips turned white. Two cat ears pointed to his head and a slender tail, ending in a tuft of hair, also appeared.

The transformation barely finished, the ears flattened against his head like an angry cat and his tail swayed nervously. Hyokko slowly pulled away from him.

" It's correct." Nanaya muttered between his teeth. 

The creature let out a sigh of relief. He moved closer to tell him about his power, but it activated on its own. From where Nanaya stood, the ground of the courtyard was covered with a layer of ice. Some of his comrades slipped and found themselves on the ground.

"Heh? I did not do anything." The young man wondered.

"It happens sometimes." Explained Angel Ferret, hovering a few centimeters so as not to slip. "Be still girls, don't try to move. Uchiri, sometimes the body of the magical girl, or in your case, the magical boy, adapts so well that the power unleashes on its own. This will make it more difficult to control."

"Oh... a specific reason? "

The adult's face grew a little more melancholy.

"Well..." she continued. "These are usually people whose bodies are used to undergoing severe treatments ... do you ..."

"I'm fine. "

Mineko, kneeling on the ice after falling too, raised an eyebrow. He kept saying this over and over but it was clear he was not doing well. Udo even pointed out that when they asked him questions about himself, his childhood, his past, he always changed the subject. As he had done when he asked her how her parents were, when she asked him about his father. He wasn't the type to release his emotions so easily.

Hyokko was trying to help him clear that sudden ice rink. But against all expectations, Nanaya ends up slipping himself. And in spite of himself, he had created an ice pylon, as if to catch up, finding himself on the ground, one foot stuck in the frozen structure.
