Chapter 304
Tachibana casually picked up a Crystal, as if feeding a pet, and gently tossed it onto her Magic Wand.
The Crystal are absorbed immediately after being added.
At the same time, the color of a spot of light on the Magic Wand was filled in, signifying that a Monster had moved in.
She didn't stop; she continued to dedicate herself to it.
Tachibana plans to feed all these Monster into it.
Even if it exceeds the Magic Wand's capacity, like overeating and getting an upset stomach, causing damage to the Magic Wand.
She wanted to see just how long the Magic Wand could last.
Thinking of this, Tachibana smiled happily.
"Grow up quickly, and then... be reborn again. Last time you were defeated by R'lyeh's Magic girls, but this time I've fed you so much, you should become stronger than before."
That is the most powerful ability of Belial's Magic Wand.
It is also an ultimate existence that surpasses R'lyeh's understanding of Monster and transcends the limits of a single Monster.
She softly called out that name.
---The Great Combined Monster, Hundred Fiend Demon.
Chapter Ninety-Three: We Unite Again!
The next day, Kirishima Ai came to school again.
She no longer needed to worry about her body suddenly disappearing again, because the female ghost had made an agreement with her to temporarily suppress this situation.
Just like before, she became taciturn, focusing on listening to lectures and doing homework, and wouldn't talk to anyone else.
This also includes Magic girl companions.
There were many other classmates around, talking about how she had reverted to her old self, no longer as cheerful and smiling as before.
Even now, Kirishima Ai's head was still spinning.
Teacher Haihara's classes were as boring as ever.
Even if the teacher asks a question, no one will raise their hand except for her deskmate Sakaki Chika.
At times like this, Kirishima Ai would usually do some homework.
It just so happens that Teacher Haihara has an assignment due on Friday, which I think is an essay. I can write it now.
The title is... (self-chosen).
Just like at home, when faced with the topic given by the teacher, Kirishima Ai held her pen on the composition paper for a long time but couldn't write anything. To be honest, she was completely clueless.
This is really quite troublesome.
The theme is: what is important to one's own life?
Kirishima Ai couldn't explain it clearly.
She lived her life in a daze.
If we're talking about family, while it's certainly important, it's hard to say what to write about. She spends very little time with her family, and she doesn't like to make things up for these kinds of assignments.
Looking back on her life so far.
It's all about myself.
That sounds rather lonely, but she certainly couldn't write it like that in her essay.
After the bell rang, she slumped onto her desk, gazing blankly out the window.
It's snowing again these past two days.
Compared to others, her impression of Xue was actually just so-so.
Even if the snow was piled up very thick, she had no one to play with, and playing in the Snowfield alone wouldn't be very interesting.
Incidentally, after class, Teacher Haihara sat at the desk in front of her, seemingly looking at her phone.
After a while, she heard Haihara ask:
Are you feeling better?
It came from the teacher's care.
"Um."
"It seems you haven't figured out how to write it yet."
A woman's cold, calm voice gently sounded in my ear.
Kirishima Ai, then nodded.
The classroom was always filled with the noise of students, but it seemed to have nothing to do with Kirishima Ai; she had grown accustomed to these sounds that had nothing to do with her.
After a while, she asked softly, as if talking to herself:
"... How should this be written?"
In the past, Kirishima Ai would never have asked Teacher Haihara such a question, but this time, she felt particularly troubled.
Time seemed to stand still.
The past was faint, the future is vague and distant.
It would be great if someone could tell her what to do and help her in this situation.
At that moment, Kirishima Ai a glimmer of hope that someone could teach her the answer.
Qingchuan Lan, the vice president of the student council at Kaedehara High School, has been quite troubled lately.
On the surface, she is a well-educated and refined heiress with excellent grades, angelic beauty, and extraordinary intelligence. However, in a hidden world, she is actually a female executive of the Black Death Cult, Villain Organization wreaks havoc in Maple Plain City.
Once upon a time, during the era when Magic girl Phantom Wind was active, she was even the mastermind behind all the Monster activities in Maple Plain City.
All this glory ended when she was kicked by Phantom Wind, leaving her crippled and unable to recover.
After that, she stepped down from the front line, handing over the responsibility and power of managing and leading the Black Death Cult to the new cadre Sha Luona.
Here's the problem.
Now, their organization has a diminishing presence in Maple Plain City.
The recent Monster incidents that attracted attention had nothing to do with the Black Death Cult. Not only that, this time they didn't even know where these guys came from.
This greatly frustrated Qingchuan Lan.
How did her Black Death Cult end up like this?
This situation continued until recently, when Sha Luona told her some incredibly good news.
---Unbeknownst to her, Sha Luona found a host for the Moon-Type Devil King's Crystal, and now, the great Demon King has returned to her loyal Black Death Cult headquarters.
At first, even with Qingchuan Lan's extraordinary wisdom, she couldn't believe this fact for a while.
When asked who the Demon King's current host is, Sha Luona always remains silent.
This made Qingchuan Lan very suspicious.
However, she herself has a history of such behavior; when the Bird-Type Devil King was resurrected, Qingchuan Lan didn't tell Sha Luona anything.
She truly believed it because of the Monster incident that happened the night before.
She sensed it.
As Apostle, a loyal subordinate of the Demon King, she genuinely felt the aura of the Moon-Type Devil King, which made her even more willing to submit to him than the Bird-Type Devil King.
The subsequent intelligence reports from Sha Luona further fueled her confidence in the rise of the Black Death Cult.
The first order the Demon King sent her was rather strange...
However, since Her Majesty the Demon King has made this request, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
So today, Qingchuan Lan transformed into her Apostle form and stood in a corner of the school.
Her long-awaited appearance this time also brought with her a Monster.
Originally, they planned to cause a disturbance before attracting the Magic girls, but it seems the Magic girls have been too efficient lately. Before the Monster alarm could even be sounded, a gust of wind swept by and the Monster she brought were defeated.
The Monster Crystal naturally crystallized on the spot.
Blue Dream Apostle crossed his arms.
With a sallow complexion and covered in dark blue tattoos, she may appear inhuman at first glance, but she exudes an intellectual beauty and has transformed from a youthful figure into a woman somewhere between a girl and a young adult.
This is her posture as Apostle.
After seeing the Monster defeated, she didn't panic. Instead, she smiled calmly and looked at the Gale figure that had just Monster.
The figure slowly straightened up, smoothed her long hair, a mix of blue and dark brown, and skillfully took over the Crystal of the Monster that the cadres had painstakingly cultivated.
---It's Magic Girl Phantom Wind.
Two years ago, the two of them were already old rivals.
From the very beginning, the Blue Dream Apostle held the advantage as a cadre, until Phantom Wind grew stronger and stronger, until almost all of the Black Death Cult were wiped out by Phantom Wind.
In a sense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were destined to meet again.
But this time, upon seeing that it was Phantom Wind, the Blue Dream Apostle revealed a knowing smile.
"It's been a long time, Magic girl Phantom Wind."
Clearly, she had no intention of fighting.
Phantom Wind, unlike his usual quiet but ruthless self, appeared patient as he looked at the waiting Blue Dream Apostle.
She unexpectedly smiled, put one hand on her hip, and waved cheerfully like a close friend:
"You're still the same as ever. Has your old injury healed almost completely?"
The smile on Blue Dream Apostle's face twisted slightly for a moment.
However, it was quickly suppressed, as if it had never existed.
This time, she came with serious business.
So, after calming down her emotions towards her old enemy, she spoke to the strongest Magic girl in Maple Plain City from a few years ago—
"Hmph, I happen to have some information about those Monster incidents that have happened recently."
As she spoke, she gathered Magic Power in her hand, conjuring a stack of papers containing the knowledge she had in her mind.
"This intelligence contains information about the origins and purposes of that ancient Black Death Cult, which may answer many of your current questions. However, I also have some things I'd like to discuss with you."
That was the task entrusted to her by His Majesty the Demon King.
After saying all this, she put on a confident smile, as if she had taken control of the conversation, but in reality, she was nervously waiting for Phantom Wind's reaction.
After all, all her schemes and tricks were ultimately thwarted by Huanfeng's Phantom Wind punches, leaving her with psychological scars.
Even though it's just a normal transaction without any scheming or backstabbing, she still felt pressured.
However, this time, Phantom Wind rarely showed a genuine smile, which subconsciously reminded Blue Dream Apostle of her most hated Student Council president Kazama Kiriori.
Although it looks like a harmless big dog, in reality... it's not flattering at all.
"Yes, I'm very interested. Perfect timing, I actually had some things I wanted to discuss with you."
"That's what the Magic girl, Phantom Wind, said."
Chapter Ninety-Four: The Unique Team Battle on a Special Effects Set
In the morning, a blizzard blanketed Maple Plain City, waking many people with the sounds of cars honking on the streets outside. Looking out the window, they could see the city submerged in a gray, blizzard-like blanket.
The sky was unusually dark today, with dense clouds completely blocking out the sunlight, as if night was approaching.
Such heavy snow will certainly have a significant impact on traffic.
After getting up, Kazama Kiriori received a notification from the school, which was specifically sent to her, the Student Council.
The gist of the message is that classes are suspended for first and second-year high school students today.
However, senior year students will continue as usual.
