Chapter 322

The rain fell again, quickly soaking Thousand Sins's hair and washing away the bloodstains on her body.

Thousand Sins was also exhausted and breathless this time.

She raised a hand to wipe the rain from her face, then looked at the mangled remains of the Thousand Fiend.

It's raining again.

Come to think of it, it seems that every time a decisive battle like this happens, it just so happens to rain in this city. They really know how to create a certain atmosphere.

Then she glanced at the city center in the distance, at the battlefield where she had just Fate Kite to go.

After whipping the corpse of Thousand Fiend more than ten times, hurry over there.

This is also recorded in R'lyeh's textbooks.

That is, after the battle with the powerful Monster, you must completely destroy the body and leave no trace, so as to prevent the Monster from coming back to life.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Thousand Sins flew towards Star Song Street. She could now sense that almost all the familiar Magic Power energy in the city had gathered there.

In other words, the student council president, Kirishima, and Idol-kun were all there.

In addition, there are other complex Magic Power ingredients.

She flies very fast; she'll arrive there in less than a minute.

However, when she arrived, the first person she saw was the president.

The president also looked exhausted.

Moreover, he was being carried on the shoulder by a blue-clad member of the Black Death Cult, seemingly just observing.

What are they looking at?

After scanning her surroundings for a while, she spotted a figure that surprised her.

"Wait... how did you get here?"

Thousand Sins suddenly uttered a sound of utter confusion.

Because right in front of her, amidst these ruins, stood the figure of an incongruous girl who hadn't transformed.

The girl was sweet and cute, dressed in an all-black outfit, and wearing a bow.

But her temperament is a little decadent compared to before.

---It's Kuroki Yuka.

"Hey, stop looking at me like that. I really did a great job in this battle, okay?"

Kuroki Yuka, who was also standing there watching, immediately became indignant.

She stood there with her hands on her hips, looking inexplicably proud, as if she had won the MVP award in this decisive battle.

However, in a certain sense, this is indeed the case.

---As the piloted Gundam, Kuroki Yuka launch an attack in the Heavenly Blazing Kite Form, securing the most valuable kill in this final battle.

She even rose to become the strongest Black Magical Girl of the new generation.

It's normal to feel a little proud when you regain your footing at this point.

Thousand Sins was, of course, completely bewildered.

Amidst confusion and bewilderment, she awkwardly scratched her forehead:

"Uh, okay, let's put that aside for now... But what's going on here? Why is everyone just standing around like they're watching?"

There were other Black Death Cult members around.

Shouldn't the battle be over by now?

Or is it that the Magic girls are about to have another loving final battle with the Black Death Cult?

That's clearly not the case.

Kuroki Yuka was unexpectedly quiet at this moment.

It was even a little awkward.

Thousand Sins discovered something: Kuroki Yuka didn't have Magic Wand.

Kuroki Yuka raised her hand and pointed into the distance.

Following her direction, Thousand Sins looked in that direction.

All that could be seen were two figures standing opposite each other in the rain.

One is Kirishima Ai.

She held the Broken Wing in her hand, hadn't transformed, and was soaked to the bone by the rain. She seemed to have just woken up from a daze and was still somewhat disoriented by her surroundings.

And the other person is...

"... What?"

The other person is... the Magical Girl Silver Feather.

In her hand, however, lay the Fallen Heaven Wand that Kuroki Yuka.

Two girls who looked almost identical gazed at each other in the rain, holding similar but different colored Magic Wand.

This seems to be why this whole thing isn't over yet.

The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, playing its final curtain call for the two of them...

Chapter 104 The Resurgence of Flash Blade

In the desolate, deserted ruins of the city, both Magic girls and Apostle silently witnessed the final scene of this decisive battle under the gray rain curtain.

It seems that all of this will soon come to an end.

But there's one last thing left unresolved here.

The rain soaked the girl's black hair, blurring her vision, but she could still make out a figure that resembled herself standing in the heavy rain.

--- Silver Feather.

Since waking up, Kirishima Ai seems to have sensed something, so she remains silent and doesn't utter a word.

He only possessed the Transformation Crystal of Broken Wing and Fate Kite.

Finally, Silver Feather's words broke the silence.

"It seems it's finally over. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you since I showed up."

She rubbed her wet hair, looking a little embarrassed.

The silver-clad girl still wore that smile that seemed out of place amidst the gloomy rain.

Her smile quickly faded.

"However, all of this will soon be over."

Silver Feather said very seriously.

Then, she slowly turned around and looked at Kirishima Ai.

Most people around had no idea where this scene came from, nor what it meant to Kirishima Ai.

Thousand Sins wanted to ask something, but he felt somewhat out of place in the atmosphere and didn't know whether he should speak or not.

At this moment, it was Star Flower who spoke:

"Um... Ai, now you can explain to us, right? What exactly is going on with this Miss Silver Feather, and what are you all doing...?"

She looked at the two of them with concern.

However, at this moment, looking at one Silver Feather and one Kirishima Ai, she couldn't even tell which one was the real person.

Faced with this unsettling atmosphere, Silver Feather replied.

"I'm her Monster. You can just call me Silver Feather. It might be a little hard to understand, but I'll be gone soon, so don't worry about it."

For a moment, Star Flower was also stunned and speechless.

Although Silver Feather was a stranger to the real Kirishima Ai, she didn't want this to happen, whether by instinct or by her inner thoughts.

After much internal struggle, Thousand Sins finally couldn't help but ask:

"Um... although I'm not entirely clear on the situation yet, let's not jump to conclusions. Perhaps we can work together to find a solution to your coexistence with Kirishima."

Clearly, while Thousand Sins had almost never heard of a Magic girl who coexisted with Monster, R'lyeh's classes hadn't covered the idea that it was impossible.

They could ask Dean Roland and the others for help; perhaps there's a way.

Silver Feather simply shook her head at this.

She picked up her Crystal and showed it to Thousand Sins and the others.

When Thousand Sins saw the Crystal, already riddled with cracks and beginning to turn into dust, he fell silent.

Crystal and fragmentation...

This means there is no way to salvage the situation.

When some Magic girls fail to ascend to the Sacred Domain and are about to turn into Monster, some of their mentors will choose to shatter the Crystal of these Magic girls.

This way, the Monster attached to them will also be killed.

In other words, when the Crystal shatters, it means death for the Monster.

Although I don't know when or why this happened, it's all meaningless now.

Aside from the legendary resurrection of the omniscient and omnipotent Witch, Thousand Sins couldn't think of any other way to save the other party...

In other words, even Dean Roland was powerless to reverse the situation.

At that moment, Kirishima Ai raised her head:

"... Is there anything else I can do?"

Her voice was low and slightly somber.

If this is the last time, she doesn't want it to end in silence.

Silver Feather seemed to think so too.

As she counted down the last moments of her life, she appeared surprisingly relaxed.

"The other me, I am your Monster, your weakness, your regret, your wish."

"If I could, I would love to continue witnessing your future with you. It's a little disheartening to see you disappear like this..."

She gave a slightly bittersweet smile.

However, such feelings were fleeting, leaving only the regret of not being able to continue spending time with the other person.

Even after I'm gone, these problems will still be with you, and even more difficulties will arise.

"If you were all alone, could you still face all of this with strength?"

It's like worrying that a fledgling bird, once separated from the protection of its parent's Feather Wing, won't be able to survive on its own.

Silver Feather gazed at Kirishima Ai, awaiting her reply.

Kirishima Ai spent most of her life in solitude.

But she was never strong enough to face it alone.

She has always been like that child she used to be, lonely and longing for care. If she feels pain, she longs to confide in someone and can never bear it alone.

To this, Kirishima Ai's answer was---

"I will."

The sound of rain seemed particularly desolate.

Unbeknownst to us, the rain was falling harder and harder, as if it were a final frenzy before everything came to an end.

"Yeah?"

Silver Feather smiled.

Then, she picked up the shattered Crystal in her hand, as well as the Fallen Heaven Wand Kuroki Yuka.
