Chapter 552

It's a large patch, not like snow.

The girl lowered her head, gazing at the falling object, and only then did she realize that it was a silvery-white feather, which had landed on the ground and piled up with the freshly fallen snow, looking quite dreamy and beautiful.

Purple Kite seemed to realize something, and then she understood.

At this moment, Fate Kite stood up completely, facing the Black Magical Girl in front of her who was similar to her in many ways, yet also quite different.

The onlookers had no idea what was happening, because suddenly, the battlefield was covered by Flowers and Illusory Butterflies, as if Star Flower had noticed something.

Everyone was watching the battle intently, but the live broadcast of the fight cut off at the most crucial moment, leaving them unable to see anything. The entire campus erupted in groans and lamentations.

However, Star Flower was aware of what was happening on the battlefield.

Even she looked quite surprised.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

When the battle ended, she flew into the battlefield, repairing the devastated and barren plaza while checking if her two companions needed medical attention.

Then, she saw this scene.

Kirishima Ai had deactivated her transformation and lay exhausted on the ground. All her Magic Power was completely depleted, leaving her with no strength left to fight. She was panting heavily.

However, Purple Kite also lay down not far from the other party.

Although the transformation was not reversed, he was clearly knocked to the ground.

"So that's how it is... I'm so unwilling to accept this."

Purple Kite raised one arm to cover her face, saying with a mix of exasperation and amusement.

Soon after, she also deactivated her transformation and lay down in the craters they had made, still wearing her school uniform and unconcerned about the dust and dirt.

"If you had played seriously and with all your might from the start, you should have beaten me much earlier."

Beside her, Kirishima Ai was reviewing and recalling the events.

Kuroki Yuka didn't say anything. The thought that her life might just be destined to be like Fate Kite made from fermented bean curd made from roe made her feel hopeless and collapsed like a salted fish.

On the other side, Star Flower infused the two with healing energy, and soon after, the two who were paralyzed and unable to move were able to stand up.

Kirishima Ai was about to say something, but felt a little embarrassed and shy, so she tried coughing to clear her throat:

"Um... Kuroki, shouldn't you be back by now?"

Ai Kirishima Ai's real purpose in fighting this was to prevent Kuroki Yuka from traveling with Teacher Haihara, and at the same time, to get Kuroki Yuka to join their side.

Unexpectedly, although Kuroki Yuka nodded, she then did something strange.

Kirishima Ai saw her hand something over.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be Kuroki Yuka's Transformation Artifact — Fallen Heaven.

She looked completely puzzled.

"What does this mean?"

Kirishima Ai raised her hand and touched her neck.

To everyone's surprise, Kuroki Yuka gave a cryptic smile, as if she had planned it all along.

The girl with snow-white skin and beautiful black hair handed the magic Magic Wand with dark Feather Wing to Kirishima Ai, and then slowly said:

"I won't help you fight against Haihara- san, so I'll sponsor you my dear Magic Wand as my contribution. But it's only a temporary loan; remember to return it later."

Kirishima Ai, bewildered and confused, accepted the Magic Wand.

... Okay, so this counts as fighting together?

After receiving it, I had a rather strange feeling looking at this wand that was very similar to, yet completely opposite to, Magic Wand Broken Wing. Moreover, some of its structures could obviously be combined with the Broken Wing.

Sponsoring Magic Wand means... it means combining two wands together?

She then looked at Kuroki Yuka not far away.

Beside Kuroki Yuka's shoulder, a small, silver-white bird dressed in a Christmas outfit had appeared, cooing softly.

For some reason, Kuroki Yuka rubbed the silver bird with a rather sullen expression, then, as if remembering something, she smiled and said---

"Oh, right, a friendly reminder."

"The combined Twin-Winged Magic Wand has a total of four slots."

"Make the most of everything!"

Upon hearing this, Kirishima Ai blinked blankly.

Four?

Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 69 The Court of the Round Table

At this very moment, in the Royal Capital of R'lyeh, another crucial meeting is being held.

The Round Table Council is the most decisive and serious meeting in all of R'lyeh when the Queen does not make decisions; it essentially represents the ultimate will of the nation.

In the past two days, almost all the high-ranking Magic girls in the Kingdom have gathered in this Court of the Round Table to discuss their plan to defeat the Overlord.

Among them, the two highest-ranking members are the two grand dukes of this Witch kingdom.

These two, along with Roland Eldritch, known as the "Lord Gemstone," are collectively referred to as the Three Grand Dukes of R'lyeh.

They were high-ranking nobles in the Kingdom, second only to the Queen in status.

While their noble lineage is secondary, what's more important is that they are all Crown Rank Magic Girls who have participated in numerous Holy War, whose glory and the Kingdom are intertwined, possessing absolute strength among Witch.

Their voices were unmatched in this meeting; however, it was obvious that they each held their own opinions, leading to contradictions and disputes in decision-making.

Yes, these two of the three.

After all, Grand Duke Roland never interfered in the Kingdom's affairs, and he showed no intention of attending even such an important occasion. Everyone had long since assumed that he didn't exist.

Besides these two, the other Magic girls were also engaged in fierce fighting and chaotic arguments.

"Isn't this a plan to overthrow the Overlord? Why does this plan include content about subsequent management and rule over the earth? Who secretly inserted it?"

"It's precisely because of the long-standing neglect of Earth's management that such a ridiculous fallacy as resurrecting the Overlord on Earth has occurred. So, of course, this should be taken into consideration, you old relic."

"You're questioning the authority of past Queen?!"

"Hmph, who knows, maybe the new Her Majesty the Queen will agree with our ideas. Times are changing, you old aunties who don't know how to adapt."

"Oh? I remember you, little one, you used to always secretly stare at me when you were little, making a fuss about wanting to grow up and marry me."

"That's all in the past! How annoying!"

The controversy not only revolved around the war against the Overlord, but also involved the conflict between the old and new factions of nobles. The new nobles seemed completely unaware of how dangerous the war against the Overlord was, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to introduce their own political views.

There are also quite a few of those nihilistic, eccentric types who are like Magic girls who have lived too long and have no interest in anything, busy stirring up trouble.

There are also Magic girls who are war fanatics, who have no problem with the Overlord or the Earth, but are very interested in throwing themselves into brutal wars where they disregard life and death.

There were also quite a few that were somewhat normal.

Meanwhile, two highly influential grand dukes were also engaged in conversation amidst the chaos, speaking in the tone of old acquaintances.

"My dear Duchess Bathory, I believe this plan is ill-considered. If we were to wage war against Her Majesty the Queen Consort on Earth, the people there would likely not be able to withstand the calamity."

The speaker was a woman of rather slender build, dressed in an ancient and austere black robe with silver patterns, and wearing a silver-white fur shawl.

This woman had short, neat white hair, and her style and demeanor were quite androgynous. She had a very beautiful and pretty face, and looked to be in her thirties, with a touch of age but still retaining her charm.

Perhaps its most distinctive feature is the ornate mask worn on its right cheek, giving it an enigmatic appearance.

The Grand Duke of the Sacred Tree, Alando, is a staunch supporter of the Queen, at least on the surface.

"Those mortals on Earth... I'm tired of hearing about them. We've sacrificed so much for humanity, protecting it for thousands of years. We deserve that world, where all lowly mortals will remember our greatness."

"But now, with us struggling to survive, you're prioritizing them?"

A gloomy and contemptuous coldness appeared on the beautiful and sweet face of the Iron-Blooded Duchess Tixia Bathory.

Compared to the mature and dignified Holy Tree Duke, this one looks much younger, like a girl still with a touch of childishness, but she is wearing a black and blood-red dress that clings to her skin and accentuates her delicate and beautiful figure.

The girl had peach-colored hair and eyes, and her hair was tied in pigtails with black ribbons.

He gives off the vibe of a little tyrant.

The Holy Tree Duke, arms crossed, was much calmer, speaking eloquently and calmly.

"That's precisely why we must remember our original aspirations and not tarnish the sacrifices of our ancestors, isn't it?"

"Very well, then let the great Overlord say those words on the battlefield. I'll see how many punches your Magic girl's heart can withstand then."

The peach-haired grand duke revealed a mocking smile.

The Grand Duke of the Sacred Tree neither confirmed nor denied it, shrugging helplessly, but still maintaining a well-dressed smile.

"Her Majesty the Queen Consort, she..."

"You're still Her Majesty the Queen Consort? I remember you were beaten quite badly by her back then..." The Iron-Blooded Duchess narrowed his eyes.

"Oh dear, aren't you? I remember you weren't even qualified to participate in the final sealing, little Bathory."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Tree Duke smiled, displaying the flippant manner of an adult who was merely dismissing a child.

Iron-Blooded Duchess Tixia Bathory frowned, looking displeased and about to lash out, but just then, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some unfamiliar figures mixed in with this sacred yet chaotic Court of the Round Table.

No, it doesn't seem like something that can be described as "mixed in".

He walked in openly and honestly, then did nothing, simply passing by the arguing Witch, heading towards the Hall of the King.

"Uh... where did this kid come from?"

Iron-Blooded Duchess Tixia looked confused.

"What brat?"

The Holy Tree Duke, not understanding what was going on, also looked in that direction, and then saw a blonde Magic girl dressed in dark red, Demon King -like Half-Armor Magical Attire, who resembled an old friend, walk past.

She also showed a blank expression and blurted out:

"Your Her Majesty the Queen Consort?"

This Magic girl I've never seen before looks so much like the young Overlord from back in the day!

Suddenly, the entire Court of the Round Table, which had been arguing incessantly, stopped, and everyone's attention turned to this uninvited, seemingly passing-by Snake-Type Magical Girl.

No, who is this?

Is this Magic girl invited to this meeting? She's quite pretty, too.

"Oh, everyone, please don't mind me. I just came to ask for directions. Where is Her Majesty the Queen in the Royal Palace right now? I need to speak with her."

The Magic girl, Thousand Sins, waved her hand, as if she were just a passing Overlord's daughter.

"?"

Everyone present was immediately filled with question marks.

Seeing that no one had spoken for a long time, Thousand Sins couldn't help but feel a little socially awkward. Finally, she spotted a somewhat familiar face and quickly asked politely:

"Um, Aunt Alando, where is Her Majesty the Queen now? Can we find her at our usual spot?"

The Holy Tree Duke, who was called, didn't know what to say. Perhaps he was still a little confused, but he nodded instinctively.

"Uh... I guess?"

This child called her auntie, have they met before...? Wait, the Royal Palace, the blonde child, Shiori?

The Holy Tree Duke spent some time studying documents in the Royal Palace and was deeply impressed by a well-behaved and intelligent child.

"Okay, thank you."

After saying that, the other party turned around and walked straight towards the Royal Palace without looking back, as if he regarded the Great Witch as nothing.

After a long pause, the Holy Knight Commander, Shafeilin, finally realized what was happening and immediately summoned the knights to intercept this "uninvited guest."

The group of high-ranking Magic girls were left looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what was going on.

What is this person here for?
