Chapter 273
When she finally smiled, the Snowman smiled too, and the thread that had been sewn to its mouth fell off, revealing a smile that wasn't so bad after all.
Lilith was slightly dazed.
As the song grew more cheerful, and as the Snowman's clumsy body couldn't keep up with Lilith's pace, the Snowman's body began to melt, growing human-like legs, as slender and long as Lilith's, and taking graceful dance steps.
Lilith's gaze gradually froze.
As the girl watched the Snowman slowly crumble and melt away, transforming from a plump Snowman into a lonely, seemingly lifeless ice sculpture of a girl, Lilith let out a subconscious sigh.
The Snowman seems very hot.
So much so that its entire body was melting.
However, it was completely unaware that it was leaving, its face still bearing a happy smile, and the snow Fairies did not stop playing, all feeling happy for the Snowman.
Even though it's winter, why doesn't the Snowman feel cold? It's even melting from the heat!
Why are the Witch, despite being human, not afraid of the cold, and unlike mortals who huddle in dilapidated huts shivering?
All of this was something Lilith couldn't understand.
Her steps finally faltered for a moment as she looked at the Snowman, which had almost vanished in the snowstorm, and said:
"If you jump like that, you'll melt."
The Snowman said, puzzled:
[Melt?]
Seeing its puzzled look, Lilith felt confused.
"It means either you're going to die, or we're separated and never see each other again."
She spoke coldly and calmly.
If they were to separate now, the Snowman would feel lonely again, filled with emptiness once more, and in that case, the Monster would not disappear.
But the Snowman didn't understand anything.
It understands neither death nor the appearance of spring; it is merely a Monster born of desire, insatiable and greedy. Even if such a thing dies, it does not mean it has ever lived.
Then she heard the Monster say:
Does this mean I'll continue to be alone?
"Right?"
Lilith started to feel that the Snowman's hands were a little cold.
[Let's keep playing then, until I melt. For the first time, I feel so warm in this chilly forest. Maybe death will be even warmer.]
Lilith remained expressionless.
The snow and wind played a joyful song, echoing the carefree days of the little girl and the Snowman.
Until the cold winter extinguished the campfire, burying the traces of their past fun and laughter.
The snowy night was quiet, with only the howling of the wind.
The two sisters stood before the extinguished campfire, gazing quietly at the dim, lifeless Crystal of the Monster. As usual, neither of them showed any sadness; their eyes were fixed on this spot.
The Snowman melted before winter ended.
In other words, it died.
Monster born of loneliness died because he was no longer lonely.
What an incredible Monster.
Does it have life, or is it truly dead?
So, what caused the other Monster to come into being?
Why do Monster exist?
"Sister, why do Monster arise from the depths of a person's heart?"
The Witch became genuinely curious about this question.
Her more mature older sister said:
"Perhaps it's because people always have so many desires, hoping to have more good things, yet they can't be fulfilled. So, the Monster in their heart wants to fill this emptiness and desolation."
Because mortals are weak.
They have short lifespans and little strength.
It will be blown away by the wind, feel cold in winter, and feel pain when its wound is cut.
That's why Monster arise within them.
And so it is with weak Magic girls.
Because of various desires that cannot be satisfied.
That's why the Monster born from the weak become so powerful.
When the Monster feel "satisfaction," it means their lives have come to an end.
It may become Perfect Form, or it may melt away like Snowman.
Why would Snowman choose to melt?
Yes, when a lonely soul no longer wanders and finds a temporary home, how could it not be content?
I'm so happy.
So much so that it seems a Snowman has begun to live in Lilith's heart, longing to be melted by the sunlight.
Chapter 71 Yes, although I am still cute and lovable
Miss Roland believed she understood her teacher better than anyone else.
Rather, it was precisely because she understood her teacher so deeply that she gained her teacher's favor and became her only disciple to be taught Magic.
Now, she has returned to Earth once again.
Although this is only a clone, it's enough.
Soon after arriving on Earth, she noticed that she seemed to be in a restaurant. The dishes looked quite tempting. If it weren't for the fact that her teacher was waiting to be intimate with her, Roland might have been willing to sit down and enjoy a meal.
The wine seems good too.
After that, the first thing she noticed was---
"Hey, isn't this Little Yuri? She's gotten so cute in just a few days!"
Roland smiled as he looked at the little puppy in Sakaki Chika's arms, then couldn't help but reach out and pick up Cangyue Yuri, who had turned into a puppy.
The girl's slender hands easily lifted the puppy above her head, as if she were teasing a child.
Cangyue Yuri barked helplessly twice.
"... Is it really possible to summon you from R'lyeh to here so easily?"
What about all that struggle for survival she endured at Haihara's house?
If she had known this would happen, she might have been able to steal some wine from the master's house and set up a ceremony to summon Dean Roland.
Just kidding.
Since she was in her puppy form, she had no Magic Power left, so she could only hope to steal it occasionally when she transformed back into a human.
Wouldn't that make her a perverted woman who steals alcohol with her bare body?
"I'm so glad to see you safe and sound. But besides wanting to see my dear teacher, I also have some other important things to tell you about my trip to Earth."
"But that's for later."
Dean Roland always appeared calm and composed. After that, she gently touched her elegant Monocle and looked out the window at Haihara and the principal who had just left.
When Roland saw the woman with the beautiful beauty mark near the corner of her eye, he smiled happily again, though it was unclear what lay hidden beneath that smile.
After that, her first action wasn't to chase after them, but instead... she took out her phone.
Yes, mobile phone.
In fact, as the former physical education teacher and assistant homeroom teacher of Year Four, Class Four, she has maintained online contact with Teacher Haihara even after leaving the job.
We send each other "goodnight" messages every night before bed.
Naturally, I also had text message exchanges with this dear "principal".
Let's go.
Roland gently waved to the Magic girls.
The Magic girls were immediately filled with anticipation for this high-ranking noble and Crown Rank Magic Girl of R'lyeh.
If it were Dean Roland, he would surely lead them to thwart the principal's plot and successfully win back Teacher Haihara!
Only Sakaki Chika asked Roland- sensei curiously:
"What are we going to do next?"
Roland gently stroked Cangyue Yuri's head, her heterochromatic eyes gleaming slightly. She walked out unhurriedly, saying as she spoke.
"Don't worry, nothing tense will happen. It's just an old friend meeting up."
After walking for a while, Haihara and Ryo went into a convenience store and bought some things, mainly juice. They had just finished drinking alcohol, and although Haihara was fine, Ryo needed to drink something to sober up.
Just as Haihara was choosing a juice flavor, Ryo suddenly received a phone call. Considering that the convenience store was quiet at the moment, Ryo gently patted Haihara's shoulder, indicating that she needed to go outside to take the call.
As Liang stepped outside, she looked down at the caller's name and felt a sense of helplessness.
"Roland".
How could it be this troublesome little girl?
Back then, among the many little girls who wouldn't leave Lily alone, Roland was the most troublesome one.
People could never understand what she was thinking.
In other words, just like Lily.
At this moment, Liang remembered Roland, who had suddenly come to her office some time ago and told her that she wanted to be the deputy class teacher of Year Four, Class Four.
You can imagine how she felt at that moment.
If she remembered correctly, it was that group of Problem Child who had summoned Roland, this troublesome guy, back then.
Thinking about this, Liang scratched his head thoughtfully.
How could this be?
Liang had just finished drinking, and her face was flushed.
She straightened her collar slightly, tucked the strands of hair that had fallen in front of her shoulder back, and then her dark pupils, which had been focused on the front, gazed down into the shadows where the streetlights had not yet reached.
That was behind a car parked on the side of the road.
The silhouettes of several girls were faintly reflected in the car window.
She naturally discovered that the group of girls had noticed their presence shortly after they started eating at the restaurant and had been spying on them from the next room ever since.
If nothing unexpected happens, my beloved disciple Kazama Kiriori, should be the leader.
After all, that child had always been very clever and wary of her.
But...
How should I put it?
Although she had always harbored ill intentions and ulterior motives, tonight she simply wanted to have dinner with her family.
Yes.
Today, being cool, I wasn't thinking about anything lewd.
Even she, doesn't think about sex every single day.
With that in mind, Liang answered Roland's call.
A familiar, adorable yet slightly mischievous voice rang out on the phone:
