Chapter 134
Haihara hugged her.
Goodnight... Mom.
Kazama Kiriori touched her lips. Just then, thunder rumbled outside the window again, but she seemed oblivious, lost in the sweet touch she had just experienced.
The night slowly passed.
Looking at the woman who had fallen asleep sometime earlier, Kazama Kiriori lovingly stroked her face:
"I will protect you, I promise..."
Chapter Sixty-Nine: Opening Ceremony
With the last heavy rain of the rainy season, the season gradually moved from the height of summer to its end. The city's temperature dropped steadily after reaching its peak, quietly heading towards autumn.
Haihara's vacation, along with this sweltering summer, is coming to an end.
Late summer and early autumn is also the start of the school year in this city.
Although Maple Plain City is famous for its rainy season, its most attractive feature is its autumn, when maple leaves often cover every corner of the city streets, hence the city's name.
For senior high school students, this is also their last semester at this school.
As is customary every year, an opening ceremony is held at the beginning of the second semester for senior high school students to prepare for the college entrance examination at the end of the semester. Some freshmen also participate, which is considered a handover with their seniors.
Among the classes participating in the senior year opening ceremony this time was Class Four, which was under the supervision of Teacher Haihara.
Haihara is very busy today.
Not only do they have to lead their classes to the opening ceremony, but they also have to hold a class meeting every morning as is customary each semester.
This year's opening ceremony also included a speech by Student Council representative.
As the Student Council and also the top student in her senior year, Kazama Kiriori attended the ceremony as a student representative.
On the stage, only Sakaki Chika and Takanashi Shiori are present.
Because Kirishima Ai's grades are in the top 20 of the school year, she will be standing on the stage as the representative of Class Four in a little while.
On stage, Kazama Kiriori, stood tall and straight. Her long, black hair swayed in the cool morning breeze. Many people didn't pay attention to what she was saying; they were only captivated by the girl's graceful figure.
"Hmm, so this is the opening ceremony. It's not much different from R'lyeh's."
From below the stage, Takanashi calmly.
Because she transferred in halfway through the semester, she did not participate in the opening ceremony for her first year of high school.
"President Kazama... you're amazing! You're not nervous at all in front of so many people."
Sakaki Chika, on the other hand, greatly admired Kazama Kiriori's loud and clear speech on stage.
It's a new semester again.
For the Magic girls, it was a somewhat uneventful start, much like the mundane yet anticipated school life of any ordinary high school girl.
This uneventful period lasted until Sakaki Chika and Takanashi Shiori received a text message from the Doctor.
The Doctor, the mysterious woman who has provided them with intelligence and support so far.
Since there were very few Monster around during the holidays, they hadn't received a text message from the Doctor for quite some time.
I heard that during this holiday, the Doctor spent a lot of time with his fiancée, and even changed his ring.
The last time they went to see the Doctor, the usually languid and plump woman had suddenly lost a lot of weight. Not only was she pale, but she also looked weak and couldn't concentrate very well, yet she seemed incredibly happy.
Although they didn't have that experience, they could guess what it was.
I really hope the Doctor can exercise some restraint.
In short, when they received the message, it meant... the Monster had reappeared.
Instinctively, Sakaki Chika and Takanashi looked up, wanting to see if there was any chance to leave.
But as soon as they looked up, they saw Teacher Haihara sitting next to them, looking at them with a very cold gaze.
"..."
Sakaki Chika and Takanashi both instinctively flinched.
It looks like this time, getting away will be a bit difficult.
The only one not present was Kirishima Ai.
We can only hope that Kirishima Ai can sneak out during a break backstage.
At the same time, just as the Student Council was finishing her speech, a teacher jogged to the podium and whispered something to Kazama Kiriori. Kazama Kiriori's expression changed slightly, and she quickly spoke into the microphone:
"We are very sorry, but due to the presence of Monster near the school, for your safety, please evacuate under the guidance of security guards and teachers."
This time, the Monster actually appeared near the school.
Although it didn't appear directly at the school like last time, it was still nearby, and there was a possibility that the battle would affect the school. The opening ceremony wasn't even halfway through, but now it had to be ended early.
For the students and teachers at Kaedehara High School, such things are nothing new.
While other teachers had already stood up to prepare to evacuate the students, the young high school teacher, Haihara, remained seated, seemingly too lazy to get up.
I thought it would be a peaceful day, but Monster incident occurred right after the start of the semester.
She also brought her camera today, intending to take pictures of Kiriori.
"--boom!"
Just as the students were preparing to evacuate, a loud crash was heard, the wall of the auditorium was broken, and a figure flashing with light fell into an empty spot in the center of the venue, smashing a large area of the hall.
The falling figure kicked up dust, and even if you couldn't see the area obscured by the dust, you could tell that it was probably smashed beyond recognition.
After the smoke and dust cleared, the people who were about to evacuate saw two figures lying there.
One of them is Moth Monster struggling on the ground, while the other is a Magic girl in a silver dress struggling to subdue Monster.
"It's the Magical Girl Silver Feather!"
One of the students excitedly shouted out the Magic girl's name.
"What kind of Monster is this time? They look really tough to deal with."
"Ugh... bugs, how scary!"
The students were buzzing with discussion, but were quickly urged on by the teachers:
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave, don't disturb the Magic girl..."
This time, the Monster seems to be much more difficult to deal with than before.
Magical Girl Silver Feather couldn't even control this Monster properly, and he took the battle to the school grounds.
On the stage of the venue, Student Council Kazama Kiriori remained, her brows furrowing slightly upon seeing the Magic girl and the Monster appear in this gathering place of students.
In a corner of the hall, Sakaki Chika looked thoughtful.
"Moth... what kind of Monster is this?"
While creatures with wings are generally Bird System, this thing is probably still an insect.
"Could it be Lunar? That's truly rare."
Since arriving on Earth, this was the first time Takanashi had encountered Monster from the Lunar.
Moreover, although this Monster is still in the mature stage, he is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary Monster.
However, this wasn't the first time they'd encountered this situation.
Perhaps this is another Monster who wasn't completely defeated by Phantom Wind and the others three years ago, and has only fully recovered today. Although he hasn't become his Perfect Form, his accumulated Magic Power and experience are enough to put Silver Feather in a tough fight.
"You bastard, are you also Monster who were born three years ago?"
In the center of the hall, the Magical Girl Silver Feather restrained the Moth Monster's arm, and due to the tug-of-war of their forces, her own arm was trembling slightly.
This was the first time she had ever dealt with Lunar Monster.
This Monster gave her a feeling somewhat similar to Serpent System Monster, and had some characteristics of other types of Monster.
Like the wings of Bird-type Monster, and the pollen of Flower Monster.
However, they are all degraded versions.
"Kuku... You're quite agile, Magical Girl Silver Feather. Well then, obediently let me defeat you and allow me to advance to my Perfect Form!"
The Moth Monster let out a strange laugh.
"You bunch of Monster, weren't you defeated by Phantom Wind long ago? How come you can come back again!"
Silver Feather asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
Phantom Wind is a more powerful Sacred Domain Magic girl than them.
If at the beginning there was only one Monster that wasn't completely defeated, she could understand it. But as one defeated Monster after another appeared, she began to wonder if these Monsters were really just overlooked by Phantom Wind.
Furthermore, if there are Monster that have been missed, why have only the Mature Form appeared so far, and not the Perfect Form ones that posed the greatest threat to Maple Plain City?
However, the Moth Monster did not answer Silver Feather's question.
It simply raised its head with difficulty and looked at the ordinary people in the hall.
The next moment, its wings flapped, spreading pollen carrying anesthetic and poisonous gases onto Silver Feather. Although it did not cause much harm to Silver Feather, it briefly affected it, allowing it to stand up from Silver Feather's suppression.
"Cough cough..."
Silver Feather was disturbed by the pollen and coughed violently.
The Monster quickly flapped his wings and took off, checking to make sure that the ordinary people in the venue had not yet left.
Then, it quickly noticed a familiar-looking human in the corner of the hall.
She was a bespectacled, gloomy, and unassuming female teacher.
She was one of the few people in the hall who hadn't left yet, and it seemed she was about to leave as soon as she made sure the other students had evacuated.
This person... could it be...?
Then, a strange laugh rang out from beneath the Monster's pale mask.
Written request for leave
I have a midterm presentation on Friday, and I need to prepare tonight. I'd like to ask for leave here.

Chapter Seventy: The Magic Girls' Righteous Brawl
After most of the students had left the scene, Haihara, the teacher, and Kazama Kiriori, the Student Council, were still at the back of the line dispersing the remaining people. After most of the students had left, they also prepared to leave.
During the evacuation, Kazama Kiriori occasionally glanced at the Monster resembling a moth, seemingly deep in thought.
"That Monster... should have already been defeated."
She muttered to herself.
Upon seeing the Monster, she unconsciously stopped in her tracks, subconsciously reaching her hand to the edge of her sleeve and pulling it up slightly, vaguely revealing something resembling a sleeve ring inside.
Just as she was about to pull the curtain up further, her gaze suddenly fell upon someone who had not yet left the hall.
It was a female teacher wearing glasses. Her class was at the back of the evacuation, and only a few students remained. The female teacher, Haihara, was leading them out.
"..."
The action that was about to continue stopped, as if she remembered something terrible. After a moment of silence, Kazama Kiriori finally lowered her arm.
In the center of the hall, the Moth Monster and the Magical Girl Silver Feather were still locked in combat. However, in the next moment, the Moth Monster flapped its wings, and pollen, like a mist, splattered onto Silver Feather 'Silver Feather face, causing her to cough violently.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Moth Monster broke free from Silver Feather's restraints.
Instead of retaliating, it looked at the people who had not yet left the hall.
Soon, it noticed one of the female teachers, who wore glasses and had a gloomy and unremarkable appearance.
In almost a few breaths, the Moth Monster was upon the female teacher, its massive shadow quickly enveloping her, followed by a sinister "kukuku" laugh.
"There are still female teachers here who haven't escaped. I've got an idea, I'll just take you hostage, kukuku..."
It spread its arms wide, looking menacing, and was about to grab Haihara when a bright light suddenly flashed outside the hole that had been torn open in the hall.
