Pink Scissors and Morning Trouble

Yuki adjusted her scissor hairpins and checked her pink nails one more time. The morning sun streamed through the windows of Hair Magic Salon in Nakaibito village, making her elaborate pink curls shimmer.

"Another busy day ahead," she said to her fellow magical hairdressers, Maki and Yuko, who were arranging their tools.

Outside, angry voices echoed down the street. Through the window, Yuki spotted five boys being dragged toward the salon by frustrated parents. The boys had long, greasy hair that hung past their shoulders, and they were kicking and screaming.

"No! Not the scissors!" one boy shouted.

"Please, we promise to brush it!" another cried.

Yuki's purple eyes widened as she recognized the Tanaka family approaching. Mrs. Tanaka looked exhausted as she pulled her son Ren by the arm. Four other families followed, each struggling with a boy who looked terrified.

"Girls," Yuki whispered to her friends, "I think we're about to have some very reluctant customers."

Unwelcome Visitors

The salon door burst open with such force that Maki's styling tools scattered across the floor. Three older boys stormed in, each carrying enormous scissors that gleamed menacingly in the morning light.

"Where are those little brats hiding?" shouted the tallest boy with spiky black hair. His name tag read "Ryusei - Head Bully."

Behind him, two shorter boys grinned wickedly. "Yeah, Daiki and I want to give them a proper haircut," sneered Sato, snapping his giant scissors in the air.

Yuki's purple eyes widened as she watched the five terrified boys dive behind salon chairs. Ren peeked out from under a pink styling cape, his greasy hair trembling.

"Please don't let them cut our hair!" Ren whispered desperately.

Yuko stepped forward, her own styling scissors looking tiny compared to the bullies' weapons. "This is a professional salon. You need to leave."

Ryusei laughed harshly. "We're not leaving until we give these girly-looking boys the worst haircuts of their lives!"

The frightened boys whimpered as the bullies advanced, their giant scissors clicking ominously. Mrs. Tanaka and the other parents had disappeared, leaving the magical hairdressers to face this unexpected threat alone.
