Chapter 101

Dark Feather suddenly glanced cautiously at the Witch beside her.

After drinking that glass of wine, the Witch remained the same gray-haired beauty.

To be honest, Dark Feather had never seen such a beautiful person before.

Even the universally acknowledged star among stars, the Magic girl Star Flower, paled in comparison to the beauty of this gray-haired woman.

It's not that the Star Flower's appearance isn't perfect.

Rather, it's something deeper.

From her demeanor to her breath, from her expression to the halo of light that falls upon her.

The Witch suddenly looked over, her cold gaze seeming to ask why she was being looked at. Dark Feather took a small step back, then tried to change the subject:

"Speaking of which, this car ride was really long. How long have we been sitting here...?"

"About five or six hours."

Miss Witch answered casually, then put away the very revealing photo book featuring older women.

It's worth mentioning that a suitcase had appeared beside her at some point. The woman casually pushed the suitcase in front of Dark Feather and then calmly said:

"Help me carry this."

Why is this woman carrying a suitcase? Isn't she supposed to be a Magic girl...?

Although it was a bit strange, she still helped carry the suitcase. After all, she was in her Magic girl form now, with a punching force of over ten tons, so carrying a suitcase was naturally no problem for her.

After handing the suitcase to Dark Feather, the Witch continued talking to herself.

"We'll probably be here for three days, so we have a lot of stuff."

Three days?

It was a little longer than she had imagined.

"If we act quickly, it will actually take less than half a day on Earth."

Instead of getting out of the car immediately, Witch leaned against the window and gazed at the world outside.

Her deep purple eyes reflected the sky outside the window, a sky slightly different from Earth's, and for a moment seemed to freeze, but she quickly regained her usual composure.

As if she had thought of something, she rested her chin on her hand.

"Three hundred years—is that a long time, or a short time...?"

Dark Feather waited there.

Come to think of it, the Witch knows so much about R'lyeh, she must be a Magic girl born and raised in R'lyeh.

But why would a Magic girl like this come to Earth?

Generally speaking, when a seemingly powerful villainous Witch like this comes to Earth, it's because she has some terrifying conspiracy.

Hey, the R'lyeh people...

At this moment, Dark Feather raised her head and took another careful look at the Witch.

Upon closer inspection, the Witch's appearance seemed somewhat familiar.

In her Magic girl form, Dark Feather quickly remembered where she had seen that face before.

It was from the Magic girl, Fate Kite, whom the Overlord saw in his memories.

Although the Fate Kite in my memory was a girl, and the aura of Magic Power was slightly different, there is no doubt that the two faces are very similar.

So, is Witch also connected to the Overlord?

In this way, it makes sense that the other party knew information related to the Overlord's Magic Crystal.

However, even after considering this, Dark Feather did not ask any questions.

Soon, the two of them stepped out of the train carriage and into the outside world.

From this point on, they officially stepped into R'lyeh.

Shortly after stepping out of the carriage, Dark Feather felt a chill. Although it wouldn't matter to a Magic girl, she still subconsciously touched her exposed arm.

After that, she looked up at the scenery that was presented before her.

It has to be said, it's a bit surprising...

"This is really eerie. Is this really the Kingdom of Magic girls?"

Dark Feather covered her forehead with one hand and looked at the distant scene. It was not the fairytale-like Magic paradise she had imagined, but a desolate and gloomy dark forest.

As dusk stretched into the depths of the forest, it was stained by darkness and slowly melted into night, while the shadows of the trees under the night sky resembled menacing demons.

The chilling wind, the terrifying bird cries, even the light seemed to fall from the sky—it was like a nightmare.

Just looking at it, it really does seem like another world.

But it's entirely the bad aspect.

Deep within this dark forest stands a towering spire, stretching from the earth to the sky Moonlit, the lights at its top seem like eyes watching over this forest.

"This place is called the Black Forest. It's on the edge of the Kingdom and was once the lair of Witch, so it's normal for it to be a bit eerie."

They were not on an ordinary train.

It's a train used by Black Magical Girl.

The destinations reached were, of course, slightly different.

"So, you're saying there are quite a few of my colleagues here?"

Dark Feather wasn't very happy after hearing this, since she wasn't very familiar with the other Black Magical Girl.

More than any evil Witch, she was curious about the legendary Magic kingdom.

"In the past, this place was ruled by the fallen Witch queen Belial, who gathered her minions here as a separatist force against the R'lyeh Kingdom."

It is said that some evil and dangerous power or existence is hidden here. Even a Magic girl of Belial's caliber was swallowed by darkness here and fell into becoming Black Magical Girl who turned her back on the light.

However, later, Belial was personally sealed away by the Queen, and her henchmen scattered like leaves in the wind. Only a few wild Witch would hide here to eke out a living, but they obviously couldn't cause any big trouble.

"So, we've arrived in a border region far from the Kingdom's center?"

That would be a long way off...

Although she doesn't get very tired in her Magic girl form, she still feels mentally exhausted.

Moreover... there didn't seem to be any flat path on the ground, it was all gravel, and since she wasn't wearing shoes, it was quite uncomfortable for her feet.

The Witch glanced at her:

"Yes, we're heading to the Royal Capital from here, and then... the House Abailia's territory is there."

If we're talking about where that Magic Crystal is most likely to be stored, there are probably two places.

One of them is the Wizard's Tower where the Overlord once resided.

The other is the territory of his own family, Abailia.

Fortunately, both places are not far from the Royal Capital.

After she finished speaking, she beckoned with her finger in the air, and then Dark Feather suddenly noticed that a pair of sandals had appeared at her feet.

Magic can be quite useful in situations like this.

"This place isn't far from the Royal Capital. In fact, the Queen once led other Magic girls to establish a front line in front of the Black Forest to block the Black Magical Girl."

The area surrounding the Black Forest is essentially the Kingdom's most dangerous border.

Establishing the Royal Capital nearby may seem unbelievable, but from the perspective of Magic girl, it's actually quite normal.

They had said enough, and it was getting dark soon; they should hurry and set off.

Dark Feather glanced back at the train they had just been on and noticed that there seemed to be only a simple shed like a roadside fried chicken shop, while the tracks further away appeared to be... broken.

"The first thing is to... get out of this forest."

"There looks like there's a town in the distance," Miss Dark Feather said, using her Magic girl eyesight to peer into the distance.

"Let's go there first and stay there for the night."

"Stay for the night... huh?"

Magical Girl Dark Feather pondered for a moment, then froze, falling into deep thought.

They're going to live together from now on?

No, no, no... They should be able to book two rooms so they don't have to stay together.

But thinking about it carefully... it seems like sleeping together...

She subconsciously looked up at the Witch beside her. The Witch, of course, quickly noticed her thoughts, but simply said in a very cold tone:

"You'd better pray there's still room to stay, and even two rooms."

Chapter 33 Good Fall

The Black Forest, one of the most dangerous and darkest areas on the edge of the Kingdom, is shrouded in perpetual mist and shadows. It is home to lost and strange Monster, various unidentified monsters lurking in the shadows, and even evil and dangerous Black Magical Girl.

This place is a dangerous forbidden zone for ordinary people, and even for Magic girls without Magic names.

However, for the Magical Girl Dark Feather, the monsters on the road were only a little troublesome.

"--Sizzle..."

She easily grabbed a man-eating flower-like Monster, then violently tore it in two with both hands, purple blood splattering all over her. The Monster collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

Now, Miss Dark Feather is covered in the monster's blood.

It was dirty and sticky.

"I really want to take a shower."

She wasn't very good at cleaning Magic, but even if she were, she only wanted to take a proper bath.

Dark Feather patted the blood off her body. Along the way, she had already killed quite a few disgusting and terrifying Monster, but what was even more unpleasant was that these Monster couldn't even gather a complete Crystal.

According to Miss Witch, these are not real Monster, but merely the remnants left behind by a group of Monster.

Come to think of it, isn't her current rampage a bit like that of a Black Magical Girl?

"Don't make a big commotion, or it will attract even more trouble."

Witch, also known as Haihara, examined the monsters that Dark Feather had dealt with along the way.

Although a Magic girl could easily leap from one end of the forest to the other with her speed, it would be extremely dangerous in a place like this.

She didn't want to transform into her Witch form again today.

"I know, I know."

Dark Feather gave a casual reply, then a small tail peeked out from under her skirt, wrapped around her suitcase, and dragged it along.

This is because her hands are covered in blood.

Besides the remains of the Monster, there were other monsters as well.

Those are things that look a lot like humans.

Or rather... she looks like a young girl.

After encountering those monsters, the Witch wouldn't allow her to kill them, which gave her a strange feeling.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she felt it was better not to figure things out too clearly.

After following the light of the distant town, they finally emerged safely from the Black Forest and could clearly see the town in the distance.

It wasn't exactly brightly lit, but you could still vaguely tell that there were people living there.

"Finally..."

Dark Feather let out a long sigh and was about to walk in that direction when she was suddenly stopped by the Witch.

She blinked.

"I haven't told you this before, but in R'lyeh, Black Magical Girl are like wanted criminals, hated by everyone. If you go in like this, you'll either be kicked out or arrested."

"Ah?"

Dark Feather was lost in confusion.
