Author's Note: I think that there's some goodness in Kenjirou Tateyama. Still, the path that he took in order to save his wife was a pretty stupid decision. Look before you leap, Kenjirou. Look before you leap.

"I'm Magical Ayaka-chan!"

"...what?"

For some reason, Kenjirou Tateyama was walking down an empty street during the night, when suddenly, this strange black monster showed up. It was a mass of jet black snakes with blood red eyes, and it told him:

"YoUr REseArch oN Us mUsT nOt bE rEveALed To sUcH fOoLISh hUMaNS..."

Kenjirou, who had been doing research on the medusae ever since he began dating his girlfriend in university, tried not to panic. Looking at his options, he had found none. The monster's abilities was still unknown to him, and with the narrowness of the road that he was walking on, he wouldn't be able to get through it.

Despite seeing the futility in doing so, Kenjirou decided to turn around and run in desperation.

He was knocked down with ease immediately.

"Keh...Damn it..." he deadpanned as he lay face-first on the ground, with a snake wrapped around his leg.

"DiE, HuMaN..."

As he tried to calmly come to terms with the approaching entity named Death, another entity declared that Kenjirou didn't need to do that.

"That won't be necessary, you evil snake monster!"

Kenjirou heard a voice and saw a light in front of him. When he looked up, he gave out one word as his glasses fell off his face.

"...What?"

The brown-haired man couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"WhO...ArE yOu...?" the snake monster replied. Its tone seemed to have gained surprise as well.

The figure in front of the monster and its victim spun around on one heel and struck a pose. Wearing a frilly dress of white, black, and red, she flashed a smile and declared her name.

"I'm Magical Ayaka-chan!"

"...what?" Kenjirou repeated. My girlfriend...is a magical girl...? What is going on right now...?

"A maGIcAL gIRL...? nO!"

"Oh, looks like you're scared now, huh, snake monster?" Ayaka answered with a smirk. She then materialized a crowbar in her hands, and it appeared with a flash of light. Holding with two hands in a kendo pose, she continued speaking. "Well, time to say goodbye, because you're gonna get a taste of my CQC that will leave you with not only a crushed body, but a crushed mind as well!"

I don't think I should watch what's going to happen next, but she looks so...cute... Kenjirou thought as he stared at his girlfriend.

"Take this!"

Ayaka's crowbar slashed at the snake holding Kenjirou's leg, causing the mass of snakes to scream in pain.

"And this!"

She jumped up and slashed down at the middle of the mass of snakes, leaving Kenjirou to re-equip his glasses and watch the brutal beatdown that she was delivering to the monster. One slash here, blood splatter there, slash combo here, screams of pain there...and all the attacking that she was doing was horrifying (because the attacking was so fast and strong, and it seemed like she was enjoying it) and arousing at the same time (because her outfit's skirt was short enough to emphasize her knee-socked legs, and it was short enough for his eyes to take a peek at what was under it).

"..."

Kenjirou stared for several moments, losing track of time as he watched his girlfriend, who was wearing some cute outfit, slice and dice a black snake monster. He continued to stare, even after his girlfriend had finished with sending the monster to oblivion using some "Eldritch Destruction Blade" or something.

"Alright," Ayaka said, dusting her hands off as she approached Kenjirou. "Are you okay, mister?"

Noticing that she was talking to him, he stuttered. "Y-Ye-Yes..."

"Alright! Another job well done!" Ayaka declared with a fist pump. "Bye now!"

"Wait!" Kenjirou shouted as Ayaka turned to leave.

"Yes?"

"Uhh..." Kenjirou said while slowly blushing, "You're cute...even if you seem scary..."

"Umm...thanks, I guess?"

"Oh, and one more thing!" Kenjirou said as he immediately stood up, adjusting his glasses before taking a deep breath.

"What is i-mmmppffhhhh?"

The bespectacled university student locked lips with the magical girl.

And then everything faded to white.

"...huh?"

The university student named Kenjirou Tateyama suddenly found himself with his head on a study table and a blanket on his back. An opening door caught his attention as sat up, stretched out, and yawned.

"Morning, sleepyhead," his girlfriend and research partner, Ayaka Asahina, said while holding two cups of coffee and handing one out to Kenjirou. "You suddenly fell asleep while we were doing homework yesterday, and I didn't feel like going back to my place, so I slept on your bed. You really need more sleep, Kenji."

"I guess so," Kenjirou said as he took a cup of coffee with one hand and scratched the back of his head with the other.

Suddenly, he remembered the dream that he had while he was asleep.

"Kenji, why are you blushing?" Ayaka asked with a mischievous grin.

"It's nothing..." Kenjirou said as he looked away, and then shook his head after a few moments. "Oh, alright, I had a dream where you were a magical girl, you saved me from some monster by using some insane CQC or something, and I...kissed you on the lips in the end..."

Ayaka simply reacted with an interested smile. "Is that so? What a coincidence. As for me, the dream that I had last night was one where you were some Super Sentai, saved me from some ugly robot by fighting with a team of goofy snakes, and then I smashed your helmet open and kissed you on the lips as well."
Kenjirou replied with one word again:

"...what...?"

"But for you to dream of me as a magical girl..." Ayaka continued, wearing her mischievous grin again, "...You must have been hiding something from me, huh...?"

"I like a magical girl show, so what?" Kenjirou replied after taking a sip of coffee, face red with embarrassment.

"I was just messing around, Kenji, don't flip out over it," Ayaka replied with a friendly smile. "I like Super Sentai shows, and I don't care if you tell me that I have bad taste when it comes to watching TV shows. Also, I don't mind if you like magical girl shows, Kenji. Still, I wonder why you like one, though...but you don't need to talk about that immediately. Anyway, it's funny, isn't it? You know, us dreaming about each other like that?"

"Yeah...hahaha..." replied Kenjirou, smiling along with Ayaka. "We're quite strange, huh?"

"We're probably too strange, considering what we've been doing with our lives lately," Ayaka declared with amusement.

"Yeah...and I don't mind being strange. Besides, each and every one of us in this world is weird, don't you think?"

"Yup. It's just that there are people who don't want to admit it."

The couple smiled at each other. Then, as they drank their coffee, they faced the window and looked out at the sky, where the morning sun rose to brighten up the world.
