Chapter 183

This puzzled Shafeilin for a long time.

Some time ago, when Takanashi returned to R'lyeh again, Shafeilin was genuinely puzzled when she saw that Takanashi was still using Magic Armament that even academy apprentices wouldn't use.

Perhaps Her Majesty the Queen had her own deeper meaning, but she couldn't understand it.

Upon hearing this, Queen Al White merely smiled, a nostalgic expression that occasionally surfaced on her face:

"What I gave that child was something very meaningful to her."

"... something of extraordinary significance?"

Shafeilin recalled the Magic Wand that Takanashi had used.

To be honest, it was so insignificant that she wouldn't have remembered it at all if it hadn't belonged to His Highness.

The casing is poorly made, and the Magic Power circuitry doesn't work well; it's like a toy for a child.

"Those are her mother's belongings."

Al White spoke of this with a touch of sadness.

"... You mean?"

After a moment of surprise, Shafeilin quickly understood Her Majesty the Queen's meaning.

And the corresponding information quickly surfaced in her mind.

Takanashi's mother... isn't that her?

"Shafeilin, do you remember what Lily's Crown Rank was before she became the Overlord?"

Before becoming a Serpent System Witch, Lilith was not commonly known as Overlord.

Although such a title already existed at that time, it was more widely known as the title bestowed upon the Witch when she ascended to the Sacred Domain.

At that time, the Witch's title was "Lord of Thousands".

The strongest Crown Rank, a Magic girl who ascends the Throne of a Thousand and wields the Gate of Source Numbers.

The Magic Armament she possessed at that time were called --

"The Imperial Key...?"

After that, the Takanashi kept trying to escape.

His comrades were fighting, covered in wounds, while he, like a burden, would only be a distraction if he stayed there.

Everyone else stepped in front of her, shielding her from the attacks.

Why... why is this happening?

Why did she run away alone, doing nothing, making no sense, abandoning everyone?

Now, all she can do is figure out what this blood-red Crystal in her hand is all about, then break this nightmare and get everyone out of here.

But with her strength, she couldn't do anything at all.

The rain poured down on her.

Cold dewdrops, whether rain or tears, streamed down her face.

The Takanashi seemed to be experiencing the cold, rainy day.

This reminded her of a certain day.

Soon, she heard footsteps, unhurried steps in the rain, as if taking a stroll, showing no fear of their prey escaping.

"Young man, where do you think you can escape to?"

It was a sweet voice that sent chills down your spine.

When the Takanashi turned its head, it saw the Magic girl dressed in rainbow Magic Gear walking step by step out of the rain.

In the girl's hands, a huge Scissor Blades dragged along, stained with blood, which was gradually washed away by the rain, but none of it belonged to her.

"Trying to run away with our Crystal? No way! Hand it over to us now!"

She smiled and then reached out her hand to the Takanashi.

"In that case, I'll go easy on you. After all, you're just a nobody, no threat to us."

Rainbow Feather has now defeated all the Magic girls in Maple Plain City.

The Takanashi in front of her was just a tiny mouse she could easily crush. At this moment, she was playing her favorite game of teasing people.

However, after hearing what she said, Takanashi simply held the Magic Crystal tightly in his hand:

"I'd rather die than give it to you."

She spoke each word carefully.

His gaze was icy cold as he stared at the other person.

Rainbow Feather, who had initially smiled, slightly opened her eyes, revealing a murderous glint in them.

"Yeah..."

She had just uttered one sentence.

The next moment, Takanashi saw the other person appear in front of him.

There was simply no time to react.

Rainbow Feather looked at the Takanashi in front of her and stretched out a hand--

"Then we've changed our minds."

As she spoke, she grabbed Takanashi's head and lifted Takanashi high into the air.

Takanashi couldn't even speak; he just felt like his head was being squeezed to death.

The next moment, Rainbow Feather slammed her heavily to the ground.

"Bang!"

With a heavy thud, Takanashi fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood that instantly stained her veil red.

"If you don't hand it over to me soon, I'll keep beating you until you pass out."

"But don't worry, I won't kill you."

"After all, if we killed you R'lyeh found out, even we would find it very troublesome."

That's what they say.

But to put it another way, as long as she doesn't kill, she'd be happy to use any amount of force.

As soon as she finished speaking, she kicked out, aiming a kick at the stomach of the Takanashi.

"--puff!"

The Takanashi let out a scream.

The force of the kick from the Magic girl Rainbow Feather was so intense that it almost made her faint.

The ground, which was already wet from the rain, was suddenly covered with the blood of the Takanashi.

But before she could struggle to her feet in pain, Rainbow Feather stepped on Takanashi.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

Rainbow Feather stepped on Takanashi's body, pressing hard back and forth, and Takanashi's bones made a cracking sound as they couldn't bear the weight.

"They're really weak."

Seeing Takanashi's pained expression, Rainbow Feather revealed an expression of immense pleasure.

"Why would R'lyeh send someone like you, a complete failure, to inherit our position? Does she think this job is too easy?"

"After fighting all this time, they don't even have Magic name. They're utterly useless."

She mocked Takanashi while grabbing Takanashi's hair and roughly pulling Takanashi up from the ground.

Takanashi's body was covered in blood, his face was terribly pale, and he was almost on the verge of death.

Even so, she did not let go.

While twisting off Takanashi's hand would have been a good idea, Rainbow Feather quickly came up with a more interesting method.

She simply grabbed the small Magic Wand that Takanashi was wearing around his neck.

"You transformed using such shabby stuff?"

When Rainbow Feather saw this thing, she was so tired of laughing that she was exhausted.

It's just a cheap Magic Wand that doesn't even have a name.

The Magic Crystal, too, was extracted from some random, Monster, I don't know.

"You should throw this kind of trash away for me, senior."

"What are you going to do..."

Even though Takanashi was nearly unconscious, he still noticed what Rainbow Feather was about to do.

However, Rainbow Feather only used one hand to grasp Takanashi's Transformation Magic Crystal.

After...

"--Sizzle..."

The sound of shattering.

Under Takanashi's blank stare, Rainbow Feather crushed Takanashi's Crystal.

And the Magic Crystal that had accompanied Takanashi's transformation all along was thus destroyed into fragments.

Then, Rainbow Feather threw Takanashi's toy-like Magic Wand on the ground, stepped on it, and crushed it completely.

"Hmm? What's in here?"

After Rainbow Feather crushed Takanashi's toy-like Magic Wand, something seemed to fall out of it.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a golden object, resembling both a necklace and a key.

However, she quickly lost interest.

He kicked the golden key aside, Rainbow Feather, holding Takanashi, just stared at her.

With a shattering sound, Takanashi deactivated her transformation and returned to her normal human form, but the bloodstains on her body remained.

"Junior, what are your thoughts?"

Aside from the Phantom Wind, what she was most interested in was the Takanashi in front of her.

Despite being just a Magic girl apprentice, she was sent to Earth just like her.

That's ridiculous.

She couldn't even remember this junior's name.

Not to mention, this junior doesn't even have a Magic name.

"Speaking of which, your sudden outburst of anger towards me in the infirmary really startled me."

Rainbow Feather sighed.

Takanashi, therefore, recalled what happened back then.

However, in her pain, when Takanashi saw Rainbow Feather's face, memories of everything she had seen in this nightmare world came flooding back.

"Were all the things you said back then lies?"

She said in a hoarse voice.

At that time, Kurosaki Asuka said that she liked Teacher Haihara.

However, all that Kurosaki Asuka has done so far is hurt others as Monster.

They started a fire to put that woman in danger.

Rainbow Feather, after hearing Takanashi's words, was unusually stunned for a moment.

Then, I accidentally burst out laughing:

"Of course it's a lie, junior, you're really funny."
