Chapter 246

The crucial point is that Lord Belial is currently asleep.

Although it comes from R'lyeh and doesn't know much about things in Maple Plain City, there is one thing it can see.

That is—the dangerous person in front of me is a Black Magical Girl.

Why would a Black Magical Girl come to stop it?

Doesn't this brat know he's working for the great Dark Magic Queen!?

"So, you guys aren't Black Death Cult, but you don't seem to be a small force either. And what kind of conspiracy were you plotting just now?"

As a former villain, Black Kite knows very well what these troublemakers are thinking. After all, back then, the Chameleon basically plotted their schemes in secret corners unknown to the Magic girls.

Judging from these Perfect Form Monster, they are clearly a force no less powerful than the Black Death Cult.

However, this force lacked a leader like the Chameleon.

Did it not exist, or did it simply not appear?

"If you tell me now, I might give you a chance to escape."

To put it simply, what is Black Kite's current mental state?

That is self-confidence.

Extremely confident.

This is the Magic Sacred Domain's throw, capable of easily defeating this group of Perfect Form Monster with a single hand.

She practically wanted to point her thumb at herself and tell these Monsters that she was now Superdak Om!

If she were to recreate the scene from back then where the Magic girls ganged up on the Chameleon, she could probably replicate the miracle of how Fang Trump Card thrashed Rainbow Snake Black Death Cult.

Cough cough.

The above was just a joke.

After all, these guys are still completely unknown enemies. If we are careless and let one of them go, who knows what the consequences will be.

It's best to finish this quickly.

However, the Illusion-Shifting Monster being in front of them, who appeared to be Magic girl, spoke up:

"Magic Girl Black Kite, although you are Magic girl, you are different from other Magic girls. You are Black Magical Girl rejected by R'lyeh, am I right?"

The Monster- looking girl in front of him stared at Black Kite and said this.

Black Kite placed one hand on her hip, puffed out her chest, narrowed her red eyes, and looked down at the Monster. She did not respond immediately, but maintained a bit of patience, her fingers lightly tapping the handle of the Scissor Blades.

In that respect, the other party is right.

From the moment she was born, Dark Feather has been a Black Magical Girl.

Unlike other Magic girls, she has always used the power of dark Magic.

Throughout it all, she never rejected this identity.

"Right."

Black Kite effortlessly lifted the Scissor-Blade Tachi, twirling it in her hand like a dancing flower, creating ripples in the air with faint sparks.

At this moment, the Illusion-Shifting Monster also recalled the knowledge it had frantically studied about the Magic girl R'lyeh during this period.

Magic Girl Black Kite, formerly Dark Feather.

She is Black Magical Girl who has been an enemy of Silver Feather and others since her debut, which fits the general public's perception and definition of Black Magical Girl.

She possesses the Overlord's original Magic Wand and is the strongest Magic girl in the Sacred Domain besides the Fate Kite.

And now, she doesn't know when she has already advanced to the Sacred Domain.

"If that's the case, then instead of being our enemy, why not join us? Perhaps you don't know, but we are the organization of Black Magical Girl Magic girls who are enemies of R'lyeh's magical girls."

"And leading us is that very being, the source of all dark Magic power."

The Illusion-Shifting Monster reached out its hand to Black Kite.

In a sense, the Black Kite is precisely the fighting force they desperately need to truly contend with the Magic girls.

Their true main force in R'lyeh is also Black Magical Girl, just like Black Kite.

As a subordinate of Lord Belial, it certainly had enough leverage to persuade Black Kite to join them.

"So that's how it is, the source of dark Magic power..."

Black Kite merely showed a slightly thoughtful expression before breaking into a satisfied smile.

Upon seeing her smile, the Illusion-Shifting Monster initially thought it had succeeded, until it gradually discerned a cunning glint in Black Kite's smile.

Suddenly, the spinning Scissor Blades in her hand stopped, and the girl gripped them firmly. Magic Power flowed into the blade, and the black flames behind her transformed into jet-black Feather Wing.

Black Kite raised the Scissor Blades in her hand and gently slashed them in the empty air. In the blink of an eye, the flames formed a pitch-black ring, like a Black Sun hanging in the sky.

"It's a very interesting proposal, but unfortunately..."

The new form of Black Kite still possesses the power of Black Magical Girl, and is a Magic girl who inherited the power of Dark Feather from the past.

Even if it transforms from Rainbow Feather back into Dark Feather, nothing changes.

As the Monster saw the raging fire closing in on them, some showed expressions of fear, while others stood ready with ferocious expressions.

The Magic girl walked towards them step by step, and said in a mocking tone—

"Lately, I've become quite interested in playing dark heroes."

Chapter Fifty: A Conversation Between Mother and Daughter

In Kirishima Ai's memory, her mother was an awkward and somewhat cold person. Compared to her gentle father, her mother seemed to be good at nothing. She cooked terribly, always left things scattered everywhere, making the house a mess, and would quickly forget what she told the children.

This often left her father with a wry smile, and she and Chu sometimes felt a little puzzled by their mother's behavior as they grew up.

However, everyone in their family is very proud of their mother, and when she talks about her past work, she shows a rare look of nostalgia and pride.

Kirishima Ai really liked her mother like this.

However, just like many children who don't know how to get along with their parents, Kirishima Ai never knew how to get along with this woman.

To be honest, sometimes, even when Kirishima Ai tries to get closer to her mother, she doesn't know if her mother will be happy or even want to be close to her like that.

How should I put it?

She kept wondering if her mother loved her. Even though she knew it was pointless, after all, her mother had sacrificed so much for them, she still felt lost and confused when her mother left her.

When she sees herself in a museum with her mother like this, just like a normal mother and daughter, Kirishima Ai still feels a sense of unreality.

However, it would be a lie to say I wasn't happy.

It had been a long time since she had spent time with her mother in a museum like this, listening to her mother gently explain each artifact to her, making Kirishima Ai feel like she had returned to her childhood.

After walking around, Mom and her daughter found a place to sit down and wait for the commemorative event inside the museum later.

Kirishima Ai saw that Teacher Haihara and the others were also waiting there.

However, I didn't see Kuroki Yuka.

"That's a bit strange..."

There probably isn't much else in the museum.

Where would Kuroki Yuka go and what would she be doing at a time like this?

Even so, Kuroki Yuka couldn't transform now, and Kirishima Ai didn't want to be suspicious, so after a while, she started chatting with her mother.

The mother seemed to know the specifics of the activity, but remained silent.

Maybe I wanted to give her something to look forward to?

For some reason, ever since she sat down with her mother, her mother had been acting strangely, sometimes remaining silent when talking to her, and never looking in her direction.

Everything was fine just a moment ago.

Perhaps the fact that she hadn't sat down alone like this in a long time made Mom feel a little uncomfortable.

She herself remained silent for a while.

"Speaking of which, Mom, why did you bring me to the museum today? And it's nice to bring Chichi out to play too, isn't it?"

Kirishima Ai gave a somewhat awkward smile and asked casually.

A few weeks ago, when she heard that her mother was going to bring her to the museum, and that it would be just her and her mother, not her sister, Kirishima Ai a little surprised.

During that time, she was puzzled for a long time by herself, wondering why it was just her and her mother.

Although bringing her to the museum is not entirely incomprehensible.

After all, this museum contains many of my mother's past achievements, which were previously privately owned and rarely seen by others until today, when they are being exhibited for the first time.

"..."

Unexpectedly, Shiratori Aoi sat there quietly, saying nothing for a moment.

Kirishima Ai rarely saw her mother like this.

But for some reason, I was deeply impressed by that appearance.

She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, after her parents divorced and her mother left her, she would look similar to how she does now.

"Mother?"

She asked, puzzled.

Kirishima Ai certainly wouldn't think that way, but she was indeed a somewhat sensitive and prone to overthinking things. At times like this, she didn't know why, but she felt that her mother seemed to feel a little guilty.

"... Oh." Shiratori Aoi suddenly snapped out of her reverie and looked apologetically at Kirishima Ai:

"Sorry, I was just spacing out."

As she spoke, she concealed the slight panic and unease that had just been evident in her expression.

Kirishima Ai didn't notice this.

Then, she looked up and saw the large screen in the museum showing footage of the Magical Girl Silver Feather in battle.

This seems to be a montage of battle scenes, from when she first became Magic girl to when she gradually grew into Magic girl capable of standing on her own.

Indeed, experiencing battle firsthand is quite different from watching footage on camera.

During battles, she is completely absorbed and often doesn't even have time to catch her breath. As a result, her mind often goes blank after a battle, and she can't remember what she did just a short while ago.

So, there really are times like that?

Kirishima Ai blinked, and before she knew it, she was engrossed in watching.

In reality, Magic girl battles can sometimes be quite brutal.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is not at all at the level of what would be shown in an animated film.

The video clips mostly showed her covered in scrapes and dust.

But in reality, there were several times when she was being beaten until she vomited blood while tearing Monster apart with her bare hands. The scenes were so bloody that she would sometimes vomit herself after she deactivated her transformation.

The others seemed to be watching intently as well.

There were also children cheering for Silver Feather in the distance, making Kirishima Ai a little embarrassed.

However, the thought of her mother sitting right next to her, watching her bravely fight the Monster, inevitably made Kirishima Ai feel a little ashamed, so she looked at her mother beside her.

Then she noticed that her mother's expression seemed a little unpleasant, and that she had unconsciously clenched her hands.

What's wrong...?

"Mom... don't you really like Magic girls?"

Kirishima Ai didn't know much about her mother's affairs, but seeing her mother like this, that seemed to be the only explanation she could come up with.

Shiratori Aoi then realized she had acted somewhat inappropriately. After a moment of stunned silence, she regained her composure, and without looking at Kirishima Ai, she said in a complex tone:

"A little."

"I think it's really strange to send a group of kids to fight Monster like this."

"Ultimately, it's wrong to just let these girls protect the city while the adults do nothing... Although many people are proud of them, I think it's a mistake."

Shiratori Aoi spoke with great seriousness.

For some reason, Kirishima Ai guilty and lowered her head upon hearing these words.
