Chapter 249
"Just then, that Magic girl appeared."
President Cangyue had a smile on his face.
The other tourists exchanged knowing smiles, knowing full well what was about to happen.
Soon, the president of the Cangyue Society disappeared from the screen, and in his place appeared a Magic girl dressed in silver-white Magic Gear, looking at the camera with a bewildered and innocent expression.
[Please look, everyone. The girl in the picture is the new Magic girl who just defeated the Monster that destroyed the city and protected everyone. She's wearing a beautiful, pure white Magic Gear that looks like Feather Wing, and she seems to be Bird System Magic girl.]
The reporter sounded very excited.
Even Haihara is very familiar with this scene.
After all, it has been shown on television countless times.
[Uh, is this a live broadcast? Will it be on TV?]
The girl in the picture wasn't as composed as she would later become; instead, she looked like an ordinary girl who had suddenly learned she was going to be on TV, with an expression of surprise and confusion.
Then, she frantically touched the Magic Gear she wasn't quite used to, worried that she had gotten the Monster's blood on her during the battle.
Then, in the footage, the reporter handed over a microphone.
[Yes, so I believe everyone is curious about one thing: new Magic girl, may I ask how we should address you?]
After the veil is lifted, the Magic girls will be transformed from Magic without personalities or names into true Magic girls with Magic names.
The Magic names of Magic girls signify names that hold extraordinary meaning and accompany them throughout their lives.
It represents their strength, ideals, and spirit.
The silver-white Magic girl in the picture pondered for a moment after hearing the question:
[That's true... How should I address you?]
[Speaking of which, I think I heard a strange sound effect when I transformed.]
[The sound effect seemed to say that I am...]
From that day on, the people of Maple Plain City remembered the name of that Magic girl.
This name adds a dazzling silver hue to the grayness that hangs over the city.
[Um.]
My name is ---
On the girl's beautiful face, from confusion and bewilderment, a bright smile, like the morning sun, gradually appeared. No one could resist being captivated by that smile.
When Haihara saw that smile, she paused for a moment, her gaze lingering on the image for a long time.
She said---
[Magical Girl Silver Feather.]
Haihara often feels that reality is very different from movies.
Therefore, movies sometimes seem to touch people more than reality.
Movies always play the right music at the right time, and when someone is in a particularly emotional moment, they will single out the most touching scene.
The video was just ordinary footage, with messy and unclear sound, and no particularly moving background music.
However, Haihara found the Silver Feather in the story rather appealing.
Suddenly, someone started clapping, and then, one after another, more and more people joined in. Ms. Suzuki didn't know that the Magic girl in the picture was her student, so she also clapped enthusiastically.
It seems Silver Feather is really popular.
Haihara also thinks Silver Feather is quite cute, and she's the kind of classic Magic girl, so it's normal that she's popular.
However, even after the commemorative event had been going on for so long, and even after a short film about Silver Feather had been shown, Kuroki Yuka still hadn't returned, which made Haihara realize something was amiss.
Isn't it a little too late?
Did she and the Problem Child really get into a fight?
I'll go check it out in a bit...
Haihara sensed something was wrong, but remained silent for the time being. Then, the screen changed, showing the female company president again.
The female president was smiling, maintaining a professional demeanor.
"Magical Girl Silver Feather's first appearance saw her defeat Monster that even Magic Girl Star Flower couldn't handle, saving Maple Plain City from its crisis."
"Looking back on that Monster incident, it was a rare crisis and period of chaos in the history of Maple Plain City."
Although it's rarely mentioned now.
However, in reality, despite the fact that the Black Death Cult are still so weak and unable to create even Perfect Form Monster, just a few months ago, the sheer number of mature Monster was enough to keep Magic Girl Star Flower busy.
The data inflation is due to the Magic girls' internal frenzy of vying for power and creating new forms, which has made even Perfect Form Monster seem insignificant now.
Before Silver Feather's first appearance, Maple Plain City experienced an extremely troublesome Monster incident, with multiple mature-stage Monster appearing in the city, causing great destruction and chaos.
Therefore, the appearance of Silver Feather was seen as a glimmer of hope, like the birth of a new star.
"While we rejoice that the Magic girl saved us, we can't help but recall how terrible the destruction caused by the Monster and villains was back then."
"And one of the villains involved in that Monster incident has still not been identified."
Suddenly, a corner of the screen appeared, showing a blurry image amidst the smoke of battle.
In the image, a terrifying figure wearing gray-black Feather Wing and with eyes emitting a scarlet light is vaguely visible.
Many Magic girl fans remember this blurry picture.
At the time, many people speculated that it might be an unknown Apostle, a Black Magical Girl, or even Monster that had taken human form.
"The unidentified object in the picture caused an explosion that destroyed a large part of the neighborhood. Although no civilians were injured, the scene was still shocking."
"Unfortunately, even the Magic girls have yet to catch this villain who caused all this destruction."
A look of regret appeared on the female president's face.
Indeed, this villain who caused such destruction never reappeared.
Perhaps she has already been taken care of by some Magic girl who did a good deed anonymously, or perhaps she is still hiding in some corner of this city.
Only Haihara, as if she had already anticipated this, looked at the blurry little image in the screen.
However, when she looked at the female company president again, Haihara's expression turned a little cold.
Then, a smile appeared on the female president's face:
"Fortunately, after years of investigation and research led by Phantasmal Dream, we finally managed to reconstruct the video using a combination of methods, and found other photos and videos as evidence."
Upon hearing this, many people present showed expressions of surprise and great curiosity.
Phantasmal Dream's technology and financial resources are beyond doubt. Together with the Kougami Zaibatsu, it stands as a world-class enterprise. In many regions, they even collaborate with Magic girls.
They wouldn't doubt that they accomplished this with the help of Magic girls.
"So, look, this is the true face of this villain."
Then, all the lights in the museum dimmed, drawing everyone's attention to the image on the screen that replaced President Cangyue.
In the scene, the outline of the person standing in the smoke and ruins gradually becomes clearer, and the details that were originally indistinguishable also gradually emerge from the fog of the past.
When the scene was halfway through its restoration, some people already began to sense that something was amiss.
Clearly, this villain is a teenage girl.
Moreover, that feathered robe, which looked like it had been burned, seemed somewhat familiar in terms of its outline and shape.
As the faces began to become clearer, people started whispering among themselves, and some even cried out.
The girl seemed to be standing unsteadily on the ruins, her back bent. She seemed completely oblivious to the scorching flames and thick smoke around her, her scarlet eyes coldly surveying her surroundings.
Perhaps she felt a little lost and uneasy.
But without a doubt, her Magic Gear, resembling a monster with its wildly growing, messy, and dark feathers, combined with her actions, made her seem like a beast in the guise of a young girl.
The girl wore a mask similar to the Monster's, making it impossible to see her true face.
However, the most important point is---
That girl, in both figure and clothing, looked remarkably similar to Silver Feather.
Chapter 53 Heartwarming Girl Magic Black Kite
When the lights in the museum came on, everyone saw the image on the screen. In the image, the figure standing in the ruins and smoke became incredibly clear. Everyone could see that it was a girl dressed in Magic Gear that looked like charred feathers.
Although she wore a pale and terrifying mask that resembled Monster, both her clothing and her figure felt very familiar to everyone.
Without a doubt, he was a Monster looked very similar to the Magical Girl Silver Feather.
But... why?
Why does this Monster look so much like Silver Feather? And why is this Monster different from all the other Monster we've defeated so far?
This Monster in Maple Plain City more than half a year ago, during a major urban crisis, and has not been seen since. It is highly likely that he is hiding in some corner of the city.
What is the relationship between this Monster and the Silver Feather Society?
Although Dark Feather's appearance is very similar to Silver Feather's, Dark Feather does not have a record of destroying cities like this Monster, which inevitably makes people think of the Monster's dangerous nature.
"Could this be some kind of Monster that turns into Silver Feather?"
"But how should I put it... I just feel like it's Silver Feather."
"Are you kidding me? I remember this photo appeared even before Magical Girl Silver Feather appeared, and how could Monster turn into Magic girl?"
Discussing voices filled the museum.
Although Magic girls are mysterious heroes shrouded in enigma, after protecting the city time and time again, people have gradually figured out some patterns and unveiled part of the mystery surrounding these heroes.
Many Magic girl fans can discuss this topic quite convincingly.
Ms. Suzuki also sensed that something was off. She was about to tug at Haihara's clothes to ask her a question when she saw that Haihara was still staring at the screen.
"Haihara?"
Just after this picture was released, and many tourists were about to take photos, the scene on the screen changed again, seemingly to a scene inside a museum.
Everyone looked up again and realized that this seemed to be the lobby of the museum that had not been open to the public before.
And in the hall, there was...
Magic girl Fate Kite and... another Magic girl?
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Magic girls had just dealt with most of the Perfect Form Monster, leaving only a few who, although severely injured, were still putting up a stubborn resistance.
These Monster were not only incredibly resilient, but each possessed a formidable ability, and their combined efforts gave the two of them a considerable challenge.
To be honest, although she was a little annoyed, thankfully Kuroki Yuka was helping her this time.
Moreover, this guy becomes ridiculously strong after transforming into his new form.
Otherwise, if it were just her alone, encountering so many Monsters, she would probably have collapsed on the ground and started talking and closing her eyes today.
Damn it, why is she already out of touch with the latest version?
Just as the two of them were focused on fighting, the screen in the hall suddenly lit up, forcing Fate Kite and Black Kite to divert their attention to see what was happening.
Then, on the screen, they saw a woman sitting at a desk, her hands supporting her chin, a very unpleasant smile on her face:
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, we were fortunate to welcome a special guest who arrived at the museum. Now, it's time to reveal the guest."
What?
Fate Kite was stunned for a moment, looking at the woman.
If she remembered correctly, this woman should be the president of Phantasmal Dream, her mother's current boss.
But why is this kind of thing suddenly playing in this room?
Just as Fate Kite was feeling confused, the image on the screen began to change. By the time they realized what was happening, the image on the screen had transformed into a girl dressed in dark red Magic Gear in the hall.
Looking at the gray-haired, red-eyed Magic girl, Fate Kite blinked and quickly realized that it looked like her.
Immediately afterwards, she heard the woman say:
"---That's right, she is the Magic girl Fate Kite."
