Chapter 100

She had just been beaten to the ground by Silver Feather, rolling around with her mouth open and eyes closed, so she agreed without thinking.

However, now that I've come to my senses, I realize that it was a bit reckless of me to so easily travel to a completely unknown other world.

The Witch, meanwhile, was flipping through a book of older women's lingerie photos and casually replied:

"It was just an experiment."

"Try?"

That doesn't sound very plausible.

"Didn't you say you wanted to obtain the power of the Overlord? Well, I happen to know of a Magic Crystal left behind by the Overlord somewhere in R'lyeh."

"If they hadn't thrown away all of the Overlord's belongings after Overlord death, there might still be hope."

If she remembered correctly, it was a Magic Crystal with unknown power, which even the Overlord himself had never used.

Because it was the first "snake" type Crystal created.

That Magic Crystal was only a high-level Crystal, which wasn't of much use to the Overlord at the time, let alone for transformation.

Upon hearing the Witch's description, Miss Dark Feather immediately became interested and asked excitedly:

"What kind of Crystal is that? Is it from a bird?"

As a Magic girl who has experienced setbacks, she greatly envies Silver Feather's ability to switch forms.

"I haven't decided on a name yet."

The Witch shook her head.

"... Haven't decided yet?"

Dark Feather tilted her head.

Ignoring Dark Feather's reaction, the Witch suddenly lowered her head and began to ponder. After a while, she spoke in a much more serious tone than usual:

"What do you think of calling it 'Blade of the God of War'?"

Dark Feather fell silent for a moment, then asked with a somewhat bewildered expression:

"Uh... why this name?"

Although it's unclear why they suddenly chose a name, the name "Blade of the God of War" alone is enough to make people wonder.

"Don't you think that calling them that will make them obediently return to class and atone for their sins by wiping out those Magic girls?"

Moreover, having this name makes one feel like they're likely to suffer a setback.

"Hmm, if that's the case, calling it Ancient Dragon isn't bad either..."

Without waiting for Dark Feather's response, the Witch continued muttering to herself. Dark Feather had no way to deal with her, so she took out her phone from her Magic Wand.

I tried it, and sure enough, there was no signal.

Is this train we're on really heading to another world...?

Dark Feather looked to both sides, but there was only darkness, pitch black. Coupled with the complete silence in the carriage, if she weren't in her Magic girl form, she might have felt scared.

However, even now, she felt a little uneasy.

But beside her was only a terrifying woman shrouded in black mist.

I said...

She looked up at the woman sitting opposite her.

Witch seemed to dislike being too close to others, so she sat in a seat on the other side.

"What's the matter?"

The Witch slightly raised her head.

"We can't stay in this transformed state forever, can we? Should we take this opportunity to de-transform and get to know each other?"

Since they're going to travel together, she can't keep maintaining her Magic girl form indefinitely.

Moreover, the Witch's current appearance is probably not her original form.

I doubt any woman would enjoy being shrouded in mystery all the time.

"No need. In R'lyeh, you can maintain your Magic girl form as long as you want. Haven't you noticed that your transformation hasn't consumed Magic Power since we entered the tunnel?"

Hearing her words, Dark Feather was stunned for a moment, then raised both hands and looked herself over. She found that her Magic Power was indeed not being consumed, and transforming was as easy as breathing.

In that case, it's okay to stay in the transformed state indefinitely.

What's the underlying principle?

Dark Feather fell into thought.

Seeing Dark Feather's confused look, the Witch casually explained:

Have you ever watched Ultraman?

"I've seen it, that's all."

Dark Feather didn't know what "Miss Witch" meant.

The Witch turned another page of her book and said calmly:

"Ultraman can only maintain his transformation for three minutes on Earth, but he doesn't have this problem in the Land of Light. That's probably the reason."

Dark Feather blinked.

That's easy to understand... but saying it like that still feels a bit strange.

However, she was somewhat surprised that the Witch in front of her had also watched this popular tokusatsu series.

Can the Witch in front of me maintain this transformation indefinitely?

This left Dark Feather with a slight sense of regret.

She was quite curious about what the Witch's supposedly "twenty-seven-year-old" face looked like.

But the carriage had become deathly silent.

"..."

Dark Feather glanced out the window; it was still pitch black, completely opaque.

I glanced at the clock inside the carriage; it seemed like we still had a long time before we reached our destination.

She wagged her tail a little lonely, then held it up in front of her and stroked it by herself.

It seems like it's time to take my medication.

Although her mental state is stable in Magic girl form, it's uncertain what she'll look like after she stops taking the medication and the transformation ends.

She took out a bottle of medicine from her Magic Wand space, skillfully poured out two pills, and swallowed them dryly.

It seems a little hard to swallow.

"Hmm... is there no water here?"

It seems she forgot to bring water.

At that moment, the Witch raised her head:

"That's true, then let them deliver some water."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands in the empty carriage.

Dark Feather was somewhat confused.

Were there anyone else in the carriage besides them?

Just as she was thinking this, she felt as if a dark shadow was floating upside down on the ceiling of the carriage. She looked up in confusion and saw a strange, dark shadow with many legs.

It was a black spider with red markings, much larger than a normal spider, perhaps the size of a crab.

What really bothered Dark Feather was that the spider had a pale mask on its abdomen that resembled that of Monster.

Rather, this is what you'd call Monster.

"What would you two Witch like to order?"

The sound it emitted was also a strange and grating sound, like that of Monster, ending with a shrill laugh.

"A glass of water, then a glass of Black Forest wine."

The Witch casually ordered drinks.

The spider- Monster seemed quite surprised, yet also pleased.

"You have excellent taste, sir. Such fine wine is rare in R'lyeh. Many Magic girls have fallen into a nightmare from which they never wake after drinking this. That blissful, dreamlike feeling must be wonderful..."

The spider- Monster left quickly.

Dark Feather couldn't help but lean forward a little and asked curiously:

"What kind of Monster is this spider?"

"If you can't tell what kind of thing it is, it's probably Lunar."

The Witch said calmly.

Of the four Magic systems besides serpent magic, Lunar is the most mysterious and difficult to understand, and it is very difficult to categorize the characteristics of such Monster.

Loosely speaking, its symbolism encompasses all sorts of things imbued with mystery and the bizarre.

The most frequently occurring element is "poison".

Things like scorpions, centipedes, and spiders all belong to the Lunar.

When the spider-like Monster emerged from the shadows once more, its web, carrying two crystal glasses, descended like a cradle in front of the two women.

Dark Feather took the water glass with a sense of novelty.

The Witch also picked up the wine glass containing the red and black liquid. After swirling it, the liquid in the glass turned into a thick and deep dark red, and the aroma of the wine became even stronger than before.

The strong smell of alcohol could be detected even from Dark Feather's side.

But the Witch drank it without hesitation.

Dark Feather watched as the cup slowly emptied, recalling what the spider-like Monster had said. A wave of worry washed over her, and she instinctively reached out her hand.

"Uh, it's not good to drink so fast..."

Even with regular alcohol, drinking it like this is bad for your stomach.

But soon, the Magical Girl Dark Feather couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and her eyes gradually widened.

The scene before her left her stunned.

After the Witch finished drinking the wine, the black mist around her gradually dissipated, revealing her previously indistinct outline and slowly outlining her cold and beautiful female figure.

Like the mist that had been lifted from an oil painting, the woman gradually began to reveal her true form.

She was a woman with long, silver-gray curly hair, a slender and tall figure. Although she was dressed in modern casual wear, she still looked like a still life in an oil painting. Her skin was so pale it seemed translucent, and her face was dignified and beautiful.

The woman's expression was indifferent, just as Dark Feather had imagined. Her calm, deep purple eyes glanced at her for a moment before lowering to look at the pages of her book, and then she said calmly:

"Don't interfere with what the adults do."

Faced with such a cold response, Dark Feather didn't argue back as usual, but...

It is indeed... quite large.

She is a mature woman of twenty-seven, and possesses the greatness she should have.

"Okay... okay..."

Miss Dark Feather was utterly captivated by this maturity.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Black Forest

When the Magic clock showed three o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived at its destination. But to be honest, Dark Feather felt that the train journey was exceptionally long, not just an hour or two. It should have lasted until evening.

However, before boarding this train, the Witch had mentioned that the flow of time would be somewhat disrupted during the train's journey, and they might have been on the train for longer than expected.

This feeling was still a bit strange, since she wasn't wearing a watch and wasn't sure how much time had passed.

In short, when Dark Feather looked out the window, she saw a dusky scene approaching twilight, along with some unfamiliar buildings that she couldn't quite place, which made her curious about what the outside world was like.

Speaking of Miss Witch...
