Chapter 286
A strange, somewhat comical-looking, round Monster emerged from the snow.
It has a round head, snow-white feathers, and a long beak that looks like a nose.
Although the appearance was strange, Silver Feather immediately sensed that this Monster was different from the previous Monster, giving off a surprising feeling.
Powerful... no, it should be said to be dangerous.
This Monster, resembling both an owl and a poorly constructed Snowman, has a Chameleon -like quality that sends chills down your spine.
It is an existence above the Perfect Form Monster — the Black Death Cult.
"Is it that Belial's henchman again...? They're always harassing me, when will this ever end?"
Even Silver Feather doesn't give Monster a friendly look.
She revealed a cold expression and had already condensed feather blades with Magic Power, ready to fight the Monster in front of her at any moment.
For some time now, Silver Feather and Kirishima Ai have been frequently attacked and harassed by a group of annoying Monster.
Not only were some of those Monster Perfect Form, but they also claimed to be subordinates of the great Belial, and that they had come to reclaim the power from Silver Feather and Kirishima Ai.
Of course, the two of them wiped out all those guys.
However, she also knew that the other party was not easy to deal with.
This group of Monster is much stronger than the Monster that came before.
The Snowy Owl Black Death Cult immediately let out a sharp, comical laugh.
[Belial's subordinates?]
Its tone was very polite; if you ignored its appearance, it looked like a chubby gentleman.
[While we did indeed cooperate with that Black Magical Girl, unfortunately, we are loyal to an existence greater than Belial.]
Just like every new villain who appears.
This Monster began a nonsensical self-introduction---
[We were awakened from the darkness by Her Majesty the Demon King and acted for her desires. Now, we cordially invite you to join us, Silver Feather Black Death Cult. As the Monster successor to Her Overlord, we hope you can become one of us.]
Not one of Belial's subordinates?
Silver Feather looked puzzled.
Then where did this powerful, Monster was able to find her come from?
Moreover... "Demon King" and "we" are not reassuring words either.
To be honest, Silver Feather didn't understand most of what this suddenly appearing, dangerous Monster said.
But at least one sentence she understood.
When Silver Feather heard the way the Snowy Owl Black Death Cult addressed her, her expression darkened slightly. Her usually bright and cheerful demeanor now appeared somewhat frightening.
She lowered her head, her blue pupils fixed on the Snowy Owl:
"... What did you just call me?"
Upon seeing its appearance, the Snowy Owl burst into laughter. It removed the almost invisible black top hat belonging to Snowman from its head and bowed to Silver Feather with its plump body.
This strangely polite Monster tucked his hat into his chest, then stared at the Magical Girl Silver Feather, with his terrifying, eerie blue eyes.
[This is truly rude of me; I never imagined you would so readily deny your true identity as Monster.]
It chuckled like an owl.
Not cute at all.
Silver Feather remained silent, not immediately making a move to deal with his opponent.
The Snowy Owl simply observed the Silver Feather.
[Are you really going to betray your essence as Monster, betray the meaning of being Monster, resist your desires, do nothing, and just disappear? So that the users of Magic Girl Fate Kite can live on in peace?]
It seemed quite puzzled.
After the Snowy Owl appeared on the silent Snowfield, the snow began to fall continuously. Unlike before, this snow made people feel uneasy, and... it was quite chilling.
"This is none of your business."
Silver Feather couldn't understand why this Monster was wasting so much time talking to him.
At the same time, she was also hesitant.
With her current strength, Silver Feather doesn't seem to be enough to defeat the opponent.
But if we were to unleash her true power... then...
[Of course it's relevant, esteemed Silver Feather.]
It spread out one of its enormous wings.
[We need your power to become the vessel that holds the Magic girl Belial. In fact, isn't that why you were awakened from that silent darkness?]
When Snowy Owl Black Death Cult mentioned this, Silver Feather seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and her expression immediately turned grim.
However, this appearance was not enough in the eyes of the Snowy Owl Black Death Cult.
We need to be even angrier.
[Therefore, if you were to simply disappear like a Magic girl... that wouldn't do.]
You must have been deceived.
It said.
[As a Monster, you've been misled by the false happiness offered by humanity, mistakenly believing yourself to be content—this is extremely dangerous.]
This Monster, resembling Snowman, spoke to Silver Feather with heartfelt emotion, as if reciting poetry, as if it were a true acquaintance of Silver Feather, expressing its sincerest concern and worry.
However, its cold, melodious tone only made people feel uncomfortable.
[If the Monster mistakenly believes he's satisfied, he'll suffer a miserable meltdown.]
Therefore, one should be angry.
To be truly Monster is to be consumed by rage, to transform into a hideous, wicked beast that wants to tear everything apart, to act purely for unsightly desires.
What if I said it didn't matter to me?
Silver Feather's expression was icy.
The other person kept hitting my sore spots.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
These things weren't enough to make her so angry that she made a complete fool of herself.
This appearance of being devoid of desire, or rather, of suppressing desire, did indeed trouble the Snowy Owl Black Death Cult, who stroked its neck and chin, which were obscured by feathers, with its enormous paws.
This is really troubling.
[In your current state, you are certainly not suitable enough...]
I can't believe it Snowy Owl said regretfully.
However, halfway through its speech, its beak and the button on its head suddenly cracked slightly, revealing an extremely bizarre smile.
[But speaking of which, just now... I seemed to see you chatting and laughing with an ordinary woman, looking very happy.]
The Monster revealed a twisted smile under the cover of night.
Upon hearing its words, Silver Feather paused for a moment, as if realizing something.
She suddenly realized a terrifying possibility.
And the Monster's voice continued to come from beside my ear:
[If I were to say now that I have another, terrifying accomplice, searching for that woman, intending to torment her and then kill her while you are careless...]
What are you planning to do?
The Snowy Owl's words, like the snow wind, were gentle yet icy.
Its calm words were chilling.
If the Snowy Owl's words had only made Silver Feather's face darken, then at this moment, Silver Feather's entire figure was shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see what her expression was.
Her body trembled slightly.
Silver Feather's fist clenched unconsciously, and her foot stomped on the ground, cracking the earth beneath her weight.
An extremely terrifying killing intent silently enveloped the Snowy Owl.
It heard the Magic girl's frantic roar---
"What did you say---?"
Will they win in Chapter 80?
After seeing Ms. Suzuki home and saying goodbye to the Magical Girl Silver Feather, Haihara didn't plan to go home immediately. Instead, she decided to visit her childhood friend's laboratory nearby and say hello.
She packed some of the oden she had just eaten to go.
After all, the owner was very welcoming and even gave them a small box of dipping sauce because they were regular customers.
She hummed a song softly as she walked towards Kougami Kage's research institute.
I heard that the other side is currently developing new gadgets due to some issues with Magic girls. These gadgets are supposedly new weapons that can enhance the Magic girls' combat abilities.
Haihara was quite curious and decided to go and take a look.
However, on her way there, she suddenly noticed that it seemed to be snowing lightly.
She stretched out her palm and caught the snowflakes.
The snowflakes melted in my palm, feeling cool.
"The weather forecast isn't very accurate."
She remembered that they hadn't said it would snow tonight. Although such a light snowfall wasn't a big deal, the air was a bit colder than she had expected.
Of course, it could also just be a placebo effect.
However, after it started snowing, she remembered the Magical Girl Silver Feather, who had chatted with her during dinner and the things they had said to each other.
That child seemed happy today, yet also quite lonely.
Although the Problem Child usually seems to be starved for love, tonight was a little different.
So what exactly happened?
Perhaps Haihara already had a hunch.
Only...
She suddenly raised her head and looked behind her. In the snow-covered woods, there was a huge, indistinct black shadow. If you looked closely at its shape, it seemed to be a strange alien with three heads.
This aura was so powerful that ordinary people wouldn't even notice it, or by the time they did, they would already be killed by that figure.
Haihara, seemingly oblivious to the figure following her, calmly continued walking towards the research institute...
[Oh, look, that's it, that's what makes Monster look like.]
Seeing Silver Feather's ferocious, beast-like rage, the Snowy Owl Black Death Cult looked satisfied and pleased, as if it knew perfectly well that this would enrage the Magic girl.
[That's how you should be... uh---]
However, its smug look didn't last long. Soon, its thick neck was tightly gripped, and then it was lifted off the ground by the girl's slender arms.
The Monster wobbled awkwardly in the air, its legs dangling and its wings flapping.
[---Coo coo coo!]
Silver Feather showed no regard for its pain, roaring furiously and irrationally—
Where is she!?
On the television screen, Silver Feather had never shown such a terrifying expression before; her face was contorted with rage, and her gaze was deathly still.
Her fingers plunged into the Monster's flesh, the black blood staining her veil black.
The Monster coughed twice, then said--
