It was awkward that so soon after becoming a magical girl, her parents had agreed to take in an exchange student for a while. In general, she would have rather kept her privacy, but the timing was nothing short of problematic... with the Hex Night coming up, it was going to be hard to get time away without it raising even more questions, especially when she had to help the other girl get used to the country. It wasn't like she was going to skimp on that duty, either; it was as important as doing her job as a magical girl. Possibly more, that was just a bit of fun.

On the plus side, senpai had visited without too much trouble, so that was one less thing that she would have to cut back on. As much as it was senpai's encouragement in the first place to become a magical girl, she didn't want to avoid her entirely until time freed up...

Leaning back from just-finished homework, Hikaru tapped a pencil against her glasses. She couldn't really stay home right now, with everything about to kick off. She had hoped to make up some excuse about going out for Sofia but... well, she wasn't home either, much like her parents were also busy. There were a few leftovers in the kitchen if she got back first, which would just have to do. The foreign girl would hopefully not be [i]too[/i] annoyed if she got back to find the place entry.

It was time to get ready.
