#my favorite part of this chapter was the arashi locking mika in the bathroom for probably 10 mins and then the two of them being like nothi

[rui-drawsbox]

Ehe, my shower was quick and so was my brain, episode three is about to hit your inbox at max speed.

Also I might take a crack at drawing weapons for the knights if I finish my history essay tomorrow, so we’ll see lmao.

After last time, Arashi is about to have so much fun, and so is Shu :):):):)

So we start with Tsukasa actually

its him in class and we hear his internal monologue

He’s questioning what the hell he saw and trying to figure out what class that girl he saw transform is in (he’s walking around during this cuz it’s lunch time at this point and like the scenery would be nicer for animation if he was walking lmao + nicer if my dumbass wants to draw him)

he actually does find Arashi + the besties (no Izumi tho) but he’s too shy to approach them so he just watches them

hes mostly focusing on listening in and looking at that makeup brush that he saw turn into a sword

then he feels a hand on his shoulder

he turns to look behind him and, “Sena?”

izumi is kind of pissed lmao, cuz he found someone spying on his friends 🥰🥰 aww ge cares about them

anyways Tsukasa tries to explain himself but Izumi doesn’t want to hear it and try’s to drag him away, until Leo spots him.

“SENA!!!” At this point Leo is bolting toward him to drag him over to lunch 🥰🥰🥰🏳️‍🌈 love wins: Izumi joins them for lunch + Tsukasa now

These mfers tease Izumi about making a new friend and he’s like “no this is just some weird kid that I found watching you guys”

Ritsu makes a joke about Tsukasa watching them cuz he has a crush on one of them, Tsukasa denies cuz, I mean it’s Tsukasa. The bullying continues <<33

Lunch ends like normal, school goes on

the next day is much of the same

Arashi invites Mika to lunch, he hesitates and then declines

Arashi catches on to his hesitation but decides to change the subject cuz she can tell that it might be a bit of a sensitive topic for him and she doesn’t want to press

she changes the topic to Mika’s friends, and in a panic without anyone else to mention he says “Shu Itsuki”

We then cut to Leo’s class for a bit.

Shu asks to borrow Izumi’s glass pen for a moment so he can write something down, Izumi gets furious and almost punches the guy

then we cut back to Mika and Arashi.

Arashi is like “really??? That guy??? Oh my god you could do so much better” but she doesn’t say this out loud she just thinks it <<33

she only knows him from Izumi’s complaints <<33

Mika can kind of tell that she doesn’t like Shu and immediately starts verbally defending him like a Reddit user defending his favorite anime woman.

Arashi is like “chill for a moment please, I just don’t know him that well, I’m sure he’s a wonderful person once you get to know him :)” (Lmao 💀 with my plans for this outline ma’am you’ll know him a bit too well by the end of this)

Mika is like “yeah <<33” before realizing he’s supposed to be keeping his distance from Shu at school and immediately going onto the “well I don’t know him that well either, he’s just in the craft club with me, he’s just really nice sometimes”

Arashi drops the convo there and decides to show Mika some pictures of the cat

Mika likes cats so she invites him on a friendly study date at her house so he can see the kitty and they can do homework together

Mika, after a bit of hesitation, and also thinking about the pros and cons of listening to Shu vs playing with a kitty, decides that Shu won’t be too mad if he goes to play with the kitty. Also he reasons that Shu would want him to blend in well and get good grades so a study date with a cute girl who he happens to be friendly with can’t hurt.

anyways when they do get back to the house the study date is going well expect for the fact that the cat doesn’t like Mika very much, in fact his hands are scratched to hell and back.

Arashi helps him bandage them up but as they’re doing that they hear a loud bang from outside the bathroom

Arashi has the makeup brush in her pocket so she’s ready to transform if it’s another one of the dolls

she tells Mika to stay in the bathroom and to lock the door if he hears screaming, Mika is like “???😰😰😰☹️😨???” About this

arashi gets back to her room to find it being rummaged through by a bunch of little porcelain dolls. Like the creepy Victorian kind.

all of them turn in sync when she opens the door and after a second they lunge at her to grab the makeup brush.

Arashi transforms and yells for Mika to lock the door.

She fights off the horde of dolls, detransforms and then rushes back to the bathroom to check on Mika

He’s fine btw, just worried about Arashi

she tells him that everything’s fine and it was just the neighbors dog that got in again so she had to escort the dog out cuz the dog isn’t friendly to people other than the dogs own family and her family

Arashi asks if Mika wants her to walk him home, Mika declines and thanks her for the offer before leaving

Arashi texts her friends about what just happened

anyways we cut to a dimly lit mansion, it’s quiet and the only sound is the sound of a sewing machine and the frustrated sighs of the man using it.

The man methodically weaves golden thread into wine red fabric, his work is as delicate as it is precise, practically perfect to the untrained eye, and impressive to one who knows what to look for.

The dolls around him move about his work shop, carrying supplies, organizing shelves, dancing at his whims with the simple flick of the golden strings tied to his finger tips.

the air in the room changes and life sized doll clad in wine red with a frilly veil obscuring his face materializes across the room from his master.

he reports the intel he has found, and the man stirs from his work at the news.

“Another magical knight? And you’re sure the cat was with her?” The man allows his strings to flow freely toward the doll, enveloping his frame in a warm golden glow. “Well, there’s no need for you to bring the cat anymore, if she can transform already then there’s no point. That cat is useless to us now. We need that makeup brush. Make sure your dolls get it next time.”

the doll nods and waits for further instruction.

when he is given none, and is dismissed he stops kneeling and leaves the room.

the man who is sewing (the audience can’t see his face btw) sits back down at his machine and grumbles about there now being two headaches to deal with.

I’m having too much fun with this ✨✨✨

Imma try and draw the weapons tomorrow if I have time, if not, I’m off from school on Monday so I’ll just have my history course work which means I’ll have time <<33

Hello there! Everyone's ready for their weekly Magical Knights AU?! No?! I dont care let's gO

ok tbh the whole sequence has been in my head non stop so i had to animate it, and this time i made a storyboard! who knew that actually planning things beforehand made it easier!

i swear in krita it looked better

i know its in 144p i cant do anything about it sobs

now Mika defending Shu's image like his fav waifu is so canon to me. Is like IzumiP's trying to clean his image in any hate post about him adfkash

Shu VS Izumi who has the worst image 100% real no fake (goes wrong)

and im so jealous of mika for going to a study date w arashi fr i want to live that dream sobs

Also Arashi's cat just knowing that Mika's is not to be trusted is so good, like lil kitty knows things. Poor Mika's hands tho

fake screencap! i took the bathroom from a 3d printer site, hope that's not illegal akjdfsa

anyways Mika would be hearing how some loUD crashes and tumps and shi and then when he goes out there's nothing broken (by miracle), not suspicious at all nono

and Arashi offering to walk him home, what a gentlewoman 🥰🥰

also Shu and Mika living in a mansion?? so true?? Shu robbed a bank before the main story?? definitely. still it would be so funny if it's just a medium apartament and is just very well decorated--

take this as a promo poster btw i just like the compo a lot--

nOW i have this idea of the little dolls walking all over the house but not in the floor cuz that would be annoying when Shu/Mika walk, so they have these wood planks in the walls like the ones for cats!

that's all for today! seeya in huh,, dunno! ill see if i procrastinate less!!! :))
