Chapter 299

Meanwhile, Haihara finally found the remote control and turned on the TV, which was showing exactly the program she wanted to watch that Haihara.

With the television playing, the two of them could finally have a proper chat.

So, what are your thoughts?

After the TV program started, Haihara stared at the screen and casually asked Silver Feather, who was standing next to her.

Silver Feather had no idea what Teacher Haihara was asking.

Or perhaps they know a little bit about it.

"You mean... where?"

Silver Feather suddenly realized that the teacher was watching the same TV program that she watched every night.

Before this, she had been watching it alone at home.

However, Kirishima Ai would be doing her homework nearby.

"You think it would be better if you disappeared, but didn't Kirishima say she'd try to find someone to help solve this problem?"

Although it was thwarted by that female ghost, namely Belial.

Do you still think that way now?

Haihara was very curious about this.

Upon hearing her words, Silver Feather remained silent for a moment, one hand supporting her cheek, her blue pupils reflecting the faint light emanating from the television screen.

Perhaps her thoughts are hard for others to understand.

After a while, Silver Feather said:

"How should I put it... I'm her Monster."

She slowly lowered her hand.

Although she is partly derived from a fragment of Crystal, when Kirishima Ai transforms into her, she herself is also influenced by this girl and gradually takes on her traits.

Sometimes she doesn't know what she is.

"Therefore, I am also her pain, her flaws, and her desires."

She raised a hand and touched her chest, where her own Crystal was embedded, bright and pure, yet cracked and fissured.

Monster are both complex and simple beings.

Their simplicity lies in their being born of desire.

The complexity lies in the fact that sometimes people themselves don't understand their own desires.

"I was supposed to disappear as Monster normally and become part of her as the Magical Girl Silver Feather, but instead I'm the one who stayed here."

It's like having a very cherished doll.

Of course you like it very much, cherish it, and are willing to be with it again.

But if one day it develops its own consciousness and can speak, then it will no longer be a doll.

"There are still many, many problems."

At this moment, Silver Feather appeared unusually mature.

"Our current lifestyle, even if it continues, won't last long."

Perhaps this period was the most relaxing time of Kirishima Ai's life.

But one day, Kirishima Ai will realize that this is not a life that can continue forever.

"How are we supposed to live after this?"

"Should I keep having her cook, and then occasionally pretend she's going to school?"

She definitely needs to be honest with her parents and others; only then might she be able to continue living.

However, this alone presents many problems.

"Kirishima is afraid to face her parents, afraid that her life will change, and I don't want her to face the various problems that will keep me alive."

Will Kirishima Ai want to end her current life living alone?

After that, will she still want to live with someone who looks exactly like her?

Kirishima Ai cannot remain a high school student or a child forever.

If she continued living like this, Silver Feather didn't know if she would still be willing to be Kirishima Ai's shadow.

One day, Kirishima Ai might also want to live alone.

How will she exist then?

And ultimately, she's a Monster.

She could also pose a danger to others, or attract danger, just like today.

"So, you think it would be better if you disappeared?"

Haihara, watching the TV program, asked.

Silver Feather was about to say "yes".

However, looking at the TV programs she watches every night and thinking about her life during this period, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

People are greedy.

She is too.

At first, just coming out for some fresh air and a chat made me feel very happy.

But now, she doesn't want to disappear.

She could hear the sound of television programs, those humorous songs, every night, and each time she heard them, she knew another day had passed.

"What should I do if I don't want to?"

She couldn't hold back any longer.

The girl's voice trembled slightly with a hint of a sob.

Even without the threat of Belial Kirishima Ai, there's no way to save her.

Her Crystal had shattered.

She will disappear soon.

Because she was Monster, she knew very well that even Dean Roland and the others couldn't salvage the situation.

Thinking of this, Silver Feather sat on the sofa, hugging her knees, her face almost buried in her legs, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I'm only a few years old, I don't know anything, I haven't experienced anything, there are many things I've seen on TV but I've never seen in person."

"I never intended to hurt anyone, but my very existence is a mistake..."

She said, feeling very wronged, tears streaming down her face.

Even though she's a Magic girl, she's afraid of pain.

But if being Silver Feather, or Crystal of Silver Feather, can help others, she would be happy.

"I still want to eat, I really love to eat, but I'm like an idiot, I can't even taste anything."

In reality, she was a Monster.

They resemble Kirishima Ai and the Magical Girl Silver Feather, but it's unknown why they were born or why they have their own consciousness.

What exactly is she...?

"Kirishima's mother hates me, and my other Magic girl companions don't know me. Who am I? Why was I born? Why hasn't anyone asked me?"

Silver Feather cried so hard she looked terrible, with snot and tears streaming down her face, and her fair cheeks turned bright red.

As she spoke, Silver Feather began to cry.

Like many children.

She didn't know why she was born, or what purpose she was meant to serve after being born.

But she had no one to complain to.

However, to the side.

Haihara heard her words and saw her like this, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Although she could understand, what should she do if she suddenly burst into tears like this?

"Why were we born...?"

She spoke in a low voice.

Seeing the girl crying, Haihara reached out a hand, stroked her face, and wiped away the warm tears from her cheeks.

The girl's face looked somewhat familiar.

It wasn't because of Kirishima Ai.

Haihara vaguely knew it was because she was thinking of someone else.

"Silver Feather."

She called the girl's name softly.

At that moment, she suddenly had a good idea.

Strictly speaking, it's not that great either.

"Since you're about to disappear and I don't know what to do, would you like to help me?"

Haihara spoke as if she were coaxing a child.

"Um?"

Silver Feather's eyes were still red.

She felt the teacher's somewhat cold hands.

When she looked up, Haihara's cold and somewhat indifferent face was right in front of her.

She had expected some comforting words, but what the teacher said instead left her confused.

... help.

She nodded, somewhat bewildered.

"That sounds good, but what kind of help is it...?"

I thought it would be something important.

Then she heard Haihara say---

"---Want to join me as a villainous Magic girl?"

Silver Feather expressed utter confusion at this.

"... Eh?"

Chapter Ninety: A New Week

After the battle ended, the Magic girls did not immediately separate.

Apart from Kirishima Ai, who was in very bad shape, the others had not yet recovered from the unexpected and perilous situations they had encountered in that battle, and their expressions were unusually solemn.

If the group of Black Death Cult was still within our control, then the mysterious woman shrouded in black mist at the end was a completely different matter.

Although the other party doesn't seem to intend to fight, who knows what will happen in the future?

At this moment, Sakaki Chika asked somewhat uncertainly:

"If even Takanashi and the president can't handle this enemy, could we ask Professor Roland to come to Earth again to guard against them?"

After all, this is no longer something that an ordinary Magic girl living on Earth can handle.

She had never seen such a powerful and Monster.

She had only ever sensed such an aura from the Bird-Type Devil King... Even the aura of that Lunar Monster was more terrifying and unfathomable than that of the Bird-Type Devil King.

The Magic girl's intuition told her that the woman must be another Demon King.
