Chapter 301

Being overly concerned isn't good either.

She quickly chopped up the remaining vegetables for Kirishima Ai, put them on a plate, sealed it in a plastic bag, and then left, leaving Kirishima Ai alone.

When the room became quiet again, she heard it once more... the voice of the female ghost.

[Hmph... I didn't expect Silver Feather to be taken away by that woman of unknown origin.]

While the Lunar Monster were wreaking havoc, the female ghost chose to remain meek and silent.

Now, when only Kirishima Ai remains, she reappears.

Kirishima Ai touched her empty stomach and ignored her.

She has always been alone, ever since she first came to this house.

No matter what happens, whether it's something sad or something happy.

Everything belonged to her alone, and to this small room.

But why?

Now, she doesn't even have a place to process her bad emotions alone.

An annoying female ghost kept nagging in her ear.

I really want to die...

Kirishima Ai covered her ears, trying to block out the ghost's voice, but in reality, it was no use.

After that, she deliberately avoided thinking about Silver Feather.

At times like these, she starts to want to confide in someone again, just like before.

But who should I contact?

She has already rejected her Magic girl companions.

Miss Lily never appeared again after that.

She didn't want to tell her mother about it.

Then, she had no idea what kind of relationships she had left.

Yes, there are.

But she... doesn't know if she'll get a response.

Oh, right, I should ask Teacher Haihara for leave.

It suddenly occurred to her.

Afterwards, she picked up her phone, wanting to text Teacher Haihara -Teacher Haihara, wondering if she would be home so late.

It's worth mentioning that, apart from phone calls, her only contact with Teacher Haihara was through a friend on the office software they used for school work.

Therefore, this software does not contain any content about Teacher Haihara's private life.

Kirishima Ai picture is a very cute penguin.

She really liked this bird; its fur was thick and warm, and it looked plump.

And it can't fly.

However, it seems that Teacher Haihara prefers owls.

[Teacher, I have something I'd like to tell you. Are you there?]

She mustered her courage for a moment and then sent the text message.

I wonder if the teacher is online at this hour.

In the dimly lit room, she stared at the glowing screen, waiting for a long time.

Maybe four or five minutes.

Maybe it's not that long, it's just an illusion.

But finally, she received a reply from the woman.

What's up so late?

I can't understand women's emotions through words alone.

But just reading the words feels a bit cold.

However, receiving a reply at this time made Kirishima Ai feel a little better.

Next, let me tell the teacher about asking for leave...

Let me tell you... I'm feeling really unwell right now, both physically and emotionally.

Kirishima Ai paused for a moment.

"Idiot..."

She was talking to herself.

His eyes were dim, and a hint of tears welled up in them.

Why would she be thinking about something like this at a time like this...?

[Teacher, my body...]

Halfway through typing Kirishima Ai's words, she felt the sensation of holding her phone disappear.

With a "thud".

Her phone fell to the ground.

Her arm became transparent and ethereal once again, making it impossible for her to hold the phone. This left Kirishima Ai frozen in place, motionless like a statue.

During this long, tense silence, the phone rang a few more times.

[Hmm? Are you still there?]

It was sent by Teacher Haihara.

[Is there something you want to tell me, Kirishima?]

Teacher Haihara seemed to think she had logged off halfway through her speech, so she sent several text messages asking about it.

Kirishima Ai reached out several times, trying to grab the phone, but each time she missed.

This continued until Teacher Haihara's profile picture, the chibi-style hammer snake, dimmed, indicating she was offline.

The girl's movements stopped there.

"..."

Kirishima Ai sniffed.

She knelt in her room, watching the glowing screen gradually dim, her once lovely face now showing signs of collapse and bitterness.

Finally, with a sob, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears in the room, her tears falling to the floor.

Tears fell, drop by drop.

She cried and cried until she was exhausted, until she fell asleep and slept until the sun rose the next day.

The next morning.

At Kaedehara High School, students were discussing the unprecedented Monster incident that had occurred the previous night, the terrifying alarms that blared during the night, and the towering fire that could be seen across much of the city.

Upon arriving at the classroom, as usual, under the supervision of their homeroom teacher, Haihara, they all returned to their seats, while others checked to see when the others would arrive.

The morning atmosphere at Kaedehara High School is actually quite relaxed.

However, it wasn't until the morning bell rang that the other students in the class realized that one person seemed to be missing from the classroom that day.

The homeroom Teacher Haihara, showed no apparent difference in expression compared to usual. She merely glanced at the empty seat of the Problem Child, then swept her gaze over the remaining students in the classroom.

"Today, Kirishima taking the day off due to health reasons."

"Also, remember that I will be collecting everyone's essays this Friday. Before then, think carefully about how you plan to complete this assignment."

"Alright, let's begin today's lesson."

Chapter 91 The puppy is confused. jpg

Everything that happened today left Cangyue Yuri feeling extremely confused.

First, it's daytime.

She was once again taken to school by Takanashi to discuss their next move.

The fire was so big last night that she could have noticed it even from Haihara's house. She also sensed that something terrible might have happened. A heavy atmosphere hung over the Magic girls today.

And, another thing.

Today, the user of the Magic girl Fate Kite did not come to school.

It's said to be because of what happened last night.

A fight broke out among a group of Monster, causing an unprecedented disaster. Although no one was injured, it was still terrifying enough.

Among those Monsters, one looked very much like Silver Feather.

Finally, the Monster looked a lot like Silver Feather was taken away by a mysterious woman who called herself a villainous Magic girl.

In other words, in the recent events, more than one force was involved...

This is really complicated.

These Magic girls have always known far too little, and they are always completely baffled whenever an incident occurs.

However, there are also resurrected Black Death Cult who were defeated in the past, Monster with Silver Feather appearances, and mysterious villainous Magic girls.

All of this seems to connect to Dean Roland's instructions to Cangyue Yuri before she left.

So, what exactly happened?

Setting aside their questions for the time being, Takanashi and the others were organizing the information they had.

Takanashi was wearing a pair of large, black-rimmed glasses, which was unusual for her, and they looked a bit like the ones Haihara often wore.

"So, last night there were at least two different, mutually hostile forces, neither of which seemed to be Black Death Cult... One was a resurrected ancient Black Death Cult, and the other was that woman of unknown origin."

Although she served as Magic girl apprentice for a long time, Takanashi consistently ranked among the top students in the Bird Academy in written exams, making her a true academic achiever.

In the many Monster -hunting activities organized by the R'lyeh Academy, Takanashi was always able to calmly strategize and organize their execution.

"Besides that, there is actually a group of Monster of unknown origin that we have overlooked."

As she spoke, Takanashi pulled up a few photos on her phone.

That was the museum incident a while ago.

Although only Kirishima Ai was personally involved in the incident, there is no doubt that an extremely dangerous Perfect Form Monster appeared during that event.

Normally, if it were just Kirishima Ai on her own at the time, she wouldn't have been able to solve the problem at all.

Where did these Monster come from?

At this moment, Sakaki Chika nodded knowingly:

"Come to think of it, it seems like Ai started acting strangely around this time, right?"

At this point, the others also began to notice something amiss.

Although they had actually felt this way before, they had been too relaxed during that period, and Kirishima Ai had never mentioned anything unusual about these things to them.

"Furthermore, during the time we were tracking them, a Perfect Form Monster of unknown origin appeared... Now it seems their target was Kirishima?"

President Kazama's handsome face also furrowed slightly.

That's right.

These events, when considered together, all point to Kirishima Ai.

Or perhaps it's something deeply connected to Kirishima Ai.

Cangyue Yuri also fell into deep thought, barking softly.

"In other words... the recent events might all be related to that Monster with the Silver Feather appearance."

"Could it be that the Black Death Cult with the Silver Feather is actually Miss Kirishima's Monster?"
