Chapter 106
In her mind, the Perfect Form Monster was already an extremely terrifying existence.
Only the Magic girl from the Sacred Domain can handle it.
Even the current Magic girl, Fate Kite, would probably only be able to put up a fight, and she wouldn't have any chance of winning.
"That is the true form of the Perfect Form Monster, or you could say its sublimated existence."
"We call them 'Black Death Cult'."
"This kind of Monster truly possesses the strength to defeat Sacred Domain Magic girl."
A Perfect Form Monster, after gaining complete control of its power, transcends and becomes the Black Death Cult.
It is also the origin of the name of the Black Death Cult organization.
They are messengers of destruction and death, the most powerful minions of the Demon King.
"But that only applies to ordinary Sacred Domain Magic girls..."
Magic Girl Phantom Wind should be even better than that...
Miss Emma wore a complicated expression:
"Indeed, if that were all, two Sacred Domain Magic girls should be able to defeat them."
"But that Monster was too unusual."
"We call it the Chameleon Black Death Cult, and it's not some kind of Monster from the Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon."
Chameleon —the name doesn't sound like anything from the Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon.
And in this way, the Takanashi can be more or less guessed.
"Is he Serpent System Monster...?"
If that's the case, then it makes sense.
Serpent System Monster are much stronger than other types of Monster of the same level. For example, the Pterodactyl Black Death Cult that appeared before required two Magic girls with Magic names to barely deal with.
If the Serpent System Monster becomes its Perfect Form, or even evolves into Black Death Cult, then it might no longer be as simple as just contending with the Sacred Domain Magic Girl.
"Although Phantom Wind and Color Feather should have defeated the Black Death Cult in the end, they both disappeared afterward. At the time, this incident also involved many ordinary people."
Miss Emma sighed softly.
This is the most serious incident caused by the Monster in recent years for R'lyeh, directly causing two young Magic girls at the Sacred Domain- level to disappear without a trace, and even affecting ordinary people.
What's most puzzling is where these Serpent System Monster came from.
Only Overlord could create such Monster.
And what kind of desire could give birth to such a powerful Black Death Cult?
"The host of this incredibly powerful Monster must be truly wicked and morally corrupt..."
While Miss Emma was speaking, Takanashi was also looking through the information in the book and finally found information related to that Monster.
The most powerful Monster ever to appear on Earth.
In typical Magic girl anime terms, this would be the final boss.
However, the information that followed made Takanashi's eyes widen and she fell into a daze...
"Oh, host, it's mentioned in this file too. She seems to be an ordinary teacher, what was her name again? Something like..."
Miss Emma smiled as she recalled the name of the Monster host from the data.
She hadn't noticed Takanashi's fixed gaze, and casually said—
"... Haihara... Lily Chou?"
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Return of Teacher's Morality
Around noon, Haihara and Dark Feather arrived at R'lyeh's Royal Capital.
After leaving the Black Forest, Miss Dark Feather was much faster than a regular car, whether running or flying, so they quickly reached the Teleportation Array closest to Nightingale Town and arrived directly in front of the Royal Capital.
Compared to Nightingale Town and Black Forest, this place is much more prosperous and dreamlike, exactly the scene of the other world that Dark Feather imagined.
The city is brightly lit and decorated, with residents who look like they're living in a fairytale. It's a utopian city, with towers that resemble the dwellings of wizards in novels, and in the far distance, a pure white Royal Capital.
Colorful bubbles floated in the sky, reflecting the clear blue sky.
In the distant sky, there are other Magic girls flying on Magic Wand.
Dark Feather looked around curiously and found other Magic girls, but most of them wore masks or veils, just like the Bird System Magic girl from Maple Plain City.
"Speaking of which, doesn't using that Teleportation Array require the lord's visa? Isn't it a bit inappropriate that we didn't go to see that Magical Girl Nightingale?"
Haihara gave her a cold glance.
"You're Black Magical Girl."
"Besides, I have no interest in meeting other Magic girls."
Normally, Teleportation Array requires the lord's authentication to activate, just like the various checks and authentications required for airplanes.
But for Haihara, that's not necessary.
With just a little Magic Spell, the Teleportation Array can be used without anyone noticing; there's no need to specifically seek out the lord.
Besides, she didn't want to see him.
"Do you know the lord there?"
"Dark Feather asked curiously."
"I don't know him."
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of Magic girls named Nightingale in R'lyeh, not to mention that the Nightingale Lord was probably less than two hundred years old, long after the Witch had passed away.
She simply didn't want to interact with other Magic girls.
Haihara currently wearing a long white robe, with a hood covering her head and her face hidden in the shadows.
The reason is that otherwise, it would attract too much attention.
In a place like the Royal Capital, being stared at by so many people all the time made her a little embarrassed.
Moreover, it's also troublesome to be approached by strange women from time to time.
"Speaking of which... I haven't asked you yet why you helped me defeat the Magic girl."
Dark Feather tilted his head slightly beside the woman and spoke softly.
This time, the answer she wanted was different from the one she wanted last time.
What she wanted to know was why Witch wanted to see the Magic girls defeated.
"I told you before, I'm a teacher."
"Are they your students?"
Dark Feather had more or less guessed it.
The Witch had mentioned this before, saying something like, "Make those Magic girls come back to class obediently."
At that time, she was being punished by the Witch with a cane, so she didn't have time to pay attention.
"So, I hope they'll come back to class obediently, that's all."
In response, Dark Feather wagged its tail.
"But... it would be fine to defeat all the other villains, right? As long as there are no enemies, the Magic girls won't have to fight."
Although that would be much more troublesome than directly dealing with the Magic girl.
However, the Black Death Cult organization in Maple Plain City is now quite weak, so if it were Witch, dealing with them wouldn't be too difficult.
"..."
Instead of answering immediately as usual, Haihara slowly looked around at the faces of the unfamiliar Magic girls.
Most of their faces were shrouded in masks.
Then, Haihara withdrew her gaze, her face slightly lowered, her eyes gleaming with a hazy light, like rain and haze tinged with gray in the night sky.
"I don't want them to continue being Magic girls."
After a period of silence, she answered in this way.
This is quite different from her previous answers.
Previously, her answer would have been to hope that the Magic girls would give up fighting the Monster and obediently return to class.
But if that's all there is to it, just like Dark Feather said, she could eliminate the villains like a righteous Magic girl.
Upon hearing this, Dark Feather pinched her chin:
"Could it be... that transforming into Magic girl is actually accompanied by some terrible curse? Are all Magic girls destined to be unhappy?"
She's recently watched a lot of Magic girl anime, and the Magic girls in them all have tragic endings, completely different from the children's shows she watched as a child.
"... How is that possible?"
Haihara flatly denied it.
There's certainly no terrible conspiracy involved.
Suddenly, Haihara stopped in her tracks, slowly raised her head, and calmly looked at the statues of several Magic girls standing in the center of the city square.
Most of them are unfamiliar statues, probably Magic girls born after the Witch's death.
"I hate Magic girls in this world."
She was referring to the Magic girls of R'lyeh.
Of course, you could also say that you dislike the Witch from your memories.
Because of this, the Witch known as the Overlord instigated a rebellion, and was eventually overthrown by the masses and sealed away forever under the Queen's supreme Magic Spell.
"Why? Aren't Magic girls all good people?"
Although the Witch is a bad woman, she might also dislike those innocent and pure girls.
"That only applies to Magic girls on Earth. In R'lyeh, kindness and purity are not necessary conditions."
"So, there are some really annoying guys."
Seemingly realizing she had said too much, Haihara didn't continue.
Next, they were headed to R'lyeh's Magic Academy. After all, it was a rare opportunity for her to come here, and she was very curious about what it had become.
R'lyeh's Royal Capital enormous; its central city alone is roughly the size of several Maple Plain City.
Fortunately, after all these years, the layout of the city hasn't changed much, and their current location is probably very close to the Bird Academy, one of the four academies.
R'lyeh Royal Magic Academy, despite its name, looks more like a noble garden or palace. The Bird Academy, in particular, is entirely white, decorated with carvings of Feather Wing and white doves, and white birds can be seen roosting in various parts of the academy.
Bird Academy is also the most populous and prosperous academy.
Perhaps because legendary Magic girls often appear among Bird System, many girls in R'lyeh aspire to become Bird System Magic.
The midday sun shines on the pristine white marble, scattering golden dust that, together with the white birds, creates an almost frozen scene.
Haihara was walking alone in the pure white open-air corridor, leisurely admiring the surrounding scenery while looking for anything interesting.
After entering the Bird Academy, Miss Dark Feather became very curious about what was happening there.
So, Haihara let Dark Feather go play by herself for a while.
Anyway, she still needs to spend some time here searching for literature.
Surrounding the long corridor are gardens and courtyards, where you can see one or two young girls sitting nearby, enjoying themselves or reading.
This scene was somewhat familiar to Haihara.
This applies to both herself and the Witch.
As for the cloak, it's not unusual in this Magic Academy; it's just a common attire for Witch.
Suddenly, she saw a girl running frantically down the corridor.
To be honest, this girl looks familiar.
