Chapter 564
Al White didn't quite understand.
When interacting with others, Al White can generally maintain the air of mystery and majesty as Queen by using royal etiquette and the feigned profundity she has learned since childhood.
In front of Lilith, Al White completely transforms into Haihara and willful Princess R'lyeh, acting all cute and affectionate towards Haibara.
"Uh-huh."
Although Haihara felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she wouldn't say anything insincere or pretentious at a time like this, so she answered directly and frankly.
Under the table, Al White's two hands were restlessly intertwining and caressing each other. Although her face was only slightly flushed and her gaze and expression were very calm, she didn't seem as radiant as she had been at the beginning.
"So, our... is?"
She spoke softly, as if talking to herself.
The blonde woman's voice trailed off towards the end.
"I died, and now everything starts anew, doesn't it? So, that's all in the past."
Although Haihara now basically remembered everything.
But she still spoke these cold and indifferent words in a flat tone.
After saying all this, Al White was speechless. He picked up the bottle again with both hands, ready to swallow the bitter liquor and feel the pain in his heart.
Haihara's family has quite a lot of alcohol, so she can let Al White drink as much as he wants. As his ex-wife, she has that much magnanimity.
Soon, Haihara stood up, raised her hand, stroked Al White's head, then stroked the hair of her other childhood friend, and said in a rather gentle tone----
"I'll go get you some juice."
Liang glanced at her own Her Majesty the Queen.
She glanced again at her current brother-in-law.
These two are Lily's former childhood sweetheart and current childhood sweetheart, as well as Lily's former fiancé and current fiancé.
Um?
Looking at these two people, who seemed so foolish in their dealings with others, Ryo suddenly realized, could it be... that Lily actually eats these seemingly natural foods?
Meanwhile, Kuroki Yuka looked at Al White and Ms. Kougami, two incredibly beautiful and mature women, and couldn't help but feel that the competition was quite fierce.
Her looks are unlikely to be an advantage.
Its only advantage seems to be serving as both a strategist and a reliable advisor.
Although she had expected it, when Kuroki Yuka actually met so many beautiful and outstanding adults, she inevitably felt a little inferior because she was just a clueless little girl.
However, the thought that Haihara- san and everyone else were Magic girls made me feel a little better for some reason.
Her mind started to wander without her even realizing it.
After a while, Haihara brought over a few glasses of juice with straws already inserted. After distributing them to the people present, she sat down again between Kougami Kage and Kuroki Yuka.
Oh, Haihara didn't leave herself any juice, but she did cut herself a plate of fruit to go with her drinks.
"So, you still hope to improve your relationship with Shiori..."
Since the night was still long, and it was a rare opportunity to chat with her childhood friend, Haihara was quite interested in talking to Al White, even though they had some rather unpleasant memories.
It's like discussing how Takanashi Shiori came to be.
Also, how did Takanashi Shiori manage to live to be so old?
During their casual conversation, at one point, Haihara suddenly felt her right hand being grasped by the hand of a girl who was slightly smaller and had a very soft touch.
She knew it was Kuroki Yuka without even turning her head.
At first, she didn't quite understand, but feeling that the child in her hand clearly wanted to interlock her fingers, Haihara finally gave up resisting and let Kuroki Yuka secretly hold her hand.
After Kuroki Yuka had Haihara's hand to hold, her smile brightened considerably. She happily sucked on her juice through the straw, humming softly.
The adults chatted about old times and recent anecdotes. Kuroki Yuka finished her homework early and, unusually, relaxed for herself tonight, not studying but instead scrolling through her phone at the table.
As she was scrolling, she blinked in surprise.
"Hmm... this juice is pretty good. Should we put some at Kiriori's house too? But she's probably asleep by now."
Haihara took a sip of the chilled juice Haibara had poured for her and thought it tasted pretty good.
But considering the time of day, my incredibly disciplined eldest daughter is probably already asleep?
Unexpectedly, Kuroki Yuka's voice came from the side:
"Hmm? It seems like President Kazama isn't asleep."
"Not asleep?"
Haihara was slightly confused and looked at Kuroki Yuka, wondering how Kuroki Yuka knew.
Then, she saw on Kuroki Yuka's phone the chat group for the Problem Child Magic girls.
Above, some people sent messages, Problem Child.
The photo shows Kirishima Ai Kazama Kiriori outdoors at night.
Haihara seemed slightly confused.
Kuroki Yuka for a moment, then decided to summarize concisely----
"Kirishima-kun, you've gotten into another fight with Kazama-sama."
Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 78 The Strongest S in History, the Strongest in Modern Times?
In Kirishima Ai's memory, President Kazama acted very strangely during their last meeting.
It was after the School Festival ended that she discovered everyone's memories had been altered; no one remembered what Teacher Haihara originally looked like, not even President Kazama.
After Kirishima Ai explained the incredible events that had occurred during that time to her, it's unclear whether President Kazama ultimately believed her.
But no matter what, looking back now, that reaction seems very strange.
Now, Kirishima Ai has no idea what President Kazama is thinking or what he means.
"Now it's my turn, Kirishima. Please allow me to observe Kuroki's approach. If I lose to you, please give up on letting me join you."
On the outskirts of the city, in a deserted and desolate Kazama Kiriori was stretching her arms and loosening her stiff muscles.
The Magic girl senior smiled naturally and explained her situation to Kirishima Ai in a gentle and friendly manner.
"... You want to fight me too?"
Kirishima Ai never expected things to turn out this way.
In short, when Kirishima Ai invited the student council president to help them again, the president initially declined.
After Kirishima Ai explained the reason, Kazama Kiriori, as if she had been prepared to do so, smiled and suggested that they decide through a duel as well.
Kirishima Ai's prepared reasons seemed to have no effect whatsoever; the student council president appeared not to listen at all.
The key is to fight a match.
After thorough testing, it was found that there was no other way, so Kirishima Ai accepted the challenge.
But, to be honest, it's a little worrying.
Does she have to challenge each of her teammates individually before they'll join the team?
The last one whose participation in the team is still uncertain is Sakaki Chika.
She hit the Star Flower? Really?
"Sometimes, actions speak louder than words. Words alone aren't enough to convince me, Kirishima."
The Student Council, who ranked first in the entire academic year, was surprisingly a militant.
"Okay... I understand, I'll do my best." Kirishima Ai was as straightforward as ever when it came to fighting.
Having said that, he took out his two-winged Magic Wand.
After defeating Kuroki Yuka, she received the Fallen Heaven Wand from Kuroki Yuka and combined it with the Broken Wing, transforming them into two intertwined Paired Wings.
However, before starting the battle, she had one more question---
"But President... I remember you said before that you didn't have any suitable Crystal?"
This was mentioned by Kazama Kiriori herself.
Both the "Gale" and "Fang" Crystal had been lost in previous battles.
The remaining Crystal are mostly countermeasure cards for specific situations, and cannot be combined with the "Ace" to form the complete Sacred Domain Phantom Wind, so their strength should be greatly reduced.
Kazama Kiriori, however, maintained a calm expression and merely chuckled lightly.
"Yes, that's true, so please wait a moment."
Hold on?
Kirishima Ai looked confused, not knowing what this meant, until she saw Kazama Kiriori raise her hand and snap her fingers without hesitation.
---- Smack
The next moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the once silent, cold night, followed by an incredible light and ripples in the field of vision.
All the Fairies of the wind in nature dance at this moment, playing a Magic Power melody together and gathering at a specific frequency and rhythm.
Strands of wind and light weave together into a spiral, gathering into emerald crystal.
In the end, it transformed into a familiar sky-blue Crystal, which fell into the hands of Kazama Kiriori.
The black-haired, black-eyed girl held the Crystal in her hand and briefly showed it to Kirishima.
"That solves the problem."
She spoke with remarkable ease and naturalness.
But Kirishima Ai felt that the student council president might have done something that a normal Magic girl would absolutely never do?
---Did she mold a Crystal with her bare hands?
No?
Why don't I know this trick?
"President, you... you... is this right?"
Kirishima Ai was stunned.
Kazama Kiriori remained calm and collected, even pulling out her other Crystal Ace.
She explained very gently and patiently:
"Just kidding. I learned this by chance after using the Devil King Crystal to transform, but I'll explain in more detail later."
"Now, shall we begin?"
After Kazama Kiriori finished speaking, for some reason, she raised her head and looked in a direction where there was no one.
Her dark eyes were fixed on that direction, as if she felt someone might be watching the battle from there.
But that place is just a distant land where nothing exists.
Meanwhile, on the other side, two others were watching the battle with a slightly puzzled expression. These were Sakaki Chika and Cangyue Yuri. Sakaki Chika, in particular, asked with some curiosity:
"President, what are you looking at?"
After being reminded, Kazama Kiriori snapped out of her daze and calmly withdrew her gaze. Her beautiful and radiant face showed no sign of unease, and she maintained her impeccably dressed smile.
"I was just wondering if anyone was watching."
That's really strange, and of course someone's watching.
Sakaki Chika was holding a hand warmer while watching them because she was cold, while Cangyue Yuri was also looking forward to the outcome of the battle, as she was quite curious about Kazama Kiriori, her senior Magic girl.
After recovering from her surprise, Kirishima Ai prepared for battle.
She has already produced the Crystal.
"Then, let's begin."
With that, he embedded it into the Magic Wand.
"--- The Phoenix Myth!"
Meanwhile, Kazama Kiriori used the Crystal she had just created, along with the Ace Crystal, to place them both into her silver armband.
