Chapter 266

Takanashi blinked.

Meanwhile, Sakaki Chika, standing to the side, was also playing with her fingers in confusion.

When the two girls tried to ask the puppy a question, Kazama Kiriori, who had initially been playing around, started to get a little serious.

"I have a rough idea of what's Kirishima."

This is what the Magic girl senior said.

The other three Magic girls all looked at her.

Reflecting on everyone's gaze, Kazama Kiriori didn't keep them in suspense and quickly revealed her guess:

"Kirishima's current appearance is somewhat similar to when I was about to advance to the Sacred Domain."

An unexpected conclusion has emerged here.

"Advancement to the Sacred Domain?"

This was indeed a bit unfamiliar to Takanashi and Sakaki Chika.

I won't even mention Sakaki Chika.

Takanashi herself ascended to the Sacred Domain in a rather haphazard way, seemingly relying solely on her powerful Magic Power and the power of Crystal to directly become a Sacred Domain Magic girl.

For other Magic girls, advancing to the Sacred Domain is a rather complicated process.

Takanashi looked down at Cangyue Yuri.

If it's about advancing to the Sacred Domain, then Cangyue Yuri has naturally gone through that process as well.

After that, while organizing her thoughts, Kazama Kiriori also began to explain to everyone.

In addition to directly obtaining Sacred Domain Magic Crystal, many Magic girls also attempt to have their Transformation Crystal advance along with them when they ascend to the Sacred Domain.

Once the Magic Power increases to a certain level, the Crystal of the battle with the Magic girl will be nourished by the Magic girl's own Magic Power and reborn.

In other words, it transforms into Sacred Domain Crystal.

After that, the Magic girl aspect will begin to influence the user.

"Personally, because my personality doesn't change much after transforming, it's not very noticeable, but I can still feel the influence."

After the Student Council explained, Takanashi and Sakaki Chika nodded.

Now that you mention it, it does seem quite similar.

Although Silver Feather only exists during battles, in terms of personality alone, she is much more straightforward and innocent than Kirishima Ai herself, and occasionally reveals her natural side after battles.

However, if one wants to advance to the Sacred Domain, their power may occasionally go out of control.

While it's a bit of an exaggeration, it's still somewhat explainable.

So, is it a good thing that Kirishima Ai has suddenly become so strange lately?

However, we cannot let our guard down just because of this.

"Even so, there's still a possibility of failing to advance to the Sacred Domain. If this guess is correct, everyone should pay close attention to Kirishima's situation."

Kazama Kiriori suggested.

Advancing to the Sacred Domain comes with risks.

Like Color Feather in the past, who became Monster after failing to advance to the Sacred Domain, her wicked nature was further amplified because of that.

Within every Magic girl dwells a Monster that symbolizes their inner vulnerability.

Only by defeating the Monster within yourself can you become stronger.

They believed that Kirishima Ai was capable of doing this, but they couldn't help but worry about what she would face.

Moreover, neither the president nor Cangyue Yuri seemed to entirely believe that this guess was correct.

Perhaps... there are some differences between this and a normal ascension to the Sacred Domain.

After they discussed it for a while, Takanashi and the others looked up and glanced at the sky.

In any case, they've accomplished something today. It's getting late, so they should go home and do their homework.

I hope Kirishima safe and sound.

After that, logically, the Magic girls should have gone their separate ways and gone home.

However, due to a small incident, things didn't turn out that way.

The incident started when the group of them, on their way back, happened to pass by a main street.

The streets were still brightly lit at night, and there were many pedestrians coming and going.

This is a place that seems to be frequented by many wealthy people, with jewelry stores, high-end clothing stores, and perfume brand stores; in short, it gives off a very upscale vibe.

Sakaki Chika has been here a few times.

A few times I tried on my own clothes, and a few times my manager took me to celebrate with my fellow idol colleagues.

At first, it was just out of curiosity that she looked into the upscale restaurant she had eaten at before.

Then she couldn't walk anymore.

The other two people and the dog also noticed the stunned Sakaki Chika and turned their heads in confusion.

"Hey, Sakaki? Are you hungry?"

The Takanashi others by its own standards, expressed its understanding.

Actually, she also wanted to eat there.

However, I'm a bit short on cash.

The Student Council and the puppy Yuri also looked at Sakaki Chika curiously, wondering what was wrong with their idol.

At that moment, Sakaki Chika suddenly said in a stiff voice:

"President."

"Um?"

Kazama Kiriori didn't know why she was suddenly called.

"You're the famous detective of Maple Plain City, right?"

At this moment, Sakaki Chika suddenly asked Kazama Kiriori this question with unusual seriousness, as if she had an urgent problem that needed a detective to solve.

Kazama Kiriori was a little embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly coughed twice and said proudly:

"Of course."

However, just as Sakaki Chika turned her head and pointed a finger at the upscale restaurant, especially through the glass window at a table inside, the others subconsciously followed her gaze.

"Could you help me investigate what's going on with that woman having dinner with the teacher?"

Sakaki Chika's voice trembled violently.

Soon after Sakaki Chika finished speaking, a strange change occurred in Kazama Kiriori and the others.

Their expressions changed from initial confusion to gradually becoming as unpleasant as Sakaki Chika's.

Only Cangyue Yuri wore a bewildered expression, like a puppy, wondering why these Magic girls had suddenly changed like this.

What happened?

She was being held in Takanashi's arms, so to be honest, she couldn't see very clearly. She had to crane her neck to look over Takanashi's shoulder.

Then she saw it.

Inside the restaurant, two women were sitting at a candlelit table with a distinctly romantic atmosphere, enjoying their meal and chatting happily.

One of them... was her mistress?

Yes, Haihara appeared there.

The other person having dinner with us, a complete stranger, stood out with her exceptional demeanor and appearance. Just sitting there, she exuded a mature charm that could captivate anyone.

She wore a gentle and indulgent smile, as if she were looking at her younger sister or girlfriend.

The Magic girls, at the same time, had the same thought pop into their minds.

Why is this woman eating with Teacher Haihara here?

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Quickly Go and Invite Immortal Roland

Magic girls, when they come together, always have an unimaginable level of power.

In less than a few minutes, they had sneaked into the restaurant.

The restaurant staff were initially puzzled when they saw a group of high school-aged girls walk in, since these students were carrying backpacks and didn't seem to be planning to eat there.

However, she suddenly noticed something.

These kids seem to be even more handsome than celebrities.

Like that girl with long, wavy, gray-gold hair, she looked like a doll, her skin so white it almost glowed, and she didn't seem to use any skincare products.

That tall, mature woman also had a cool, laid-back vibe; she'd probably be very popular with girls.

As for the last one that looks like a small animal, it's quite cute, but why is it wearing sunglasses...?

She was wondering when she saw the petite girl take off her sunglasses, revealing a face the waiter couldn't forget after seeing it a few times. The waiter exclaimed in surprise:

"Ailulu?"

This popular young idol is naturally a VIP customer of their restaurant, and thanks to her celebrity status, Tachibana Aeruru has brought a lot of customers to the restaurant.

Then, Sakaki Chika skillfully flashed her professional smile:

"Hello, I'd like to have dinner here with my friend. Are there any seats available?"

"Of course, do you have a room you prefer?"

Next, the waiter professionally led Sakaki Chika and the others into the restaurant and even showed them to their room.

Sakaki Chika recalled the room where Teacher Haihara had been, which she had just seen outside.

So she nodded.

"There's a room with a window on the second floor, thank you."

She said it very politely.

Fortunately, no one was eating in the room next to Teacher Haihara's.

Soon, the three high school girls were seated in the upscale restaurant like adults.

This is a victory for the wealthy Sakaki Chika.

After successfully entering the restaurant next to Teacher Haihara and the others, Kazama Kiriori and the others looked at Sakaki Chika with a hint of approval and gratitude.

Meanwhile, Takanashi, having just sat down, couldn't resist picking up the menu on the table. Her eyes lit up after opening it:

"Oh... Oh oh."

This was her first time visiting such a high-class restaurant.

None of the dishes on the menu had ever been tried before.

However, she quickly suppressed her urge to order and reluctantly closed the menu.

There are more important things to do now.

And then, a tiny dog's head popped out from the seam of her backpack.

Just now, Cangyue Yuri had been hiding in Takanashi's empty backpack, feeling quite suffocated.

So, they've successfully gotten in now.

"..."

Inside the restaurant room, several Magic girls looked at each other, seemingly deep in thought.

After that, although they hadn't said anything to each other, they suddenly fell silent, stood up in unison, and pressed themselves against the wall to listen to the sounds from the next room.

The rooms here are very soundproof.

However, the Magic girls had better hearing.
