Chapter 566

Just as mountains suddenly rose from the earth, ice-forged peaks rose up in an instant, freezing all the flames that were about to ignite and swallowing the falling Fate Kite.

In a moment of distraction, Fate Kite was frozen into the iceberg.

Crystal, like magnificent ice, was sculpted into a staircase leading to the heavens. The Magic girl, Phantom Wind, casually stepped onto the top of that staircase and raised a hand.

The fierce wind gathered in her hand, swirling rapidly into a vortex faster than the storm, and finally transforming into a massive, saw-blade-like wind wheel that almost filled half the sky, while the sound of the storm enveloped the earth.

This attack can definitively break the transformation of the Fate Kite.

So she threw it away.

What will happen?

Just as the Wind Blade Wheel was about to rush towards the glacier and split the iceberg in two, the translucent ice was suddenly completely filled with bright firelight.

Then, only the sound of a violent explosion was heard, and when the wind blades surged into the flames, with a "boom," the powerful wind blades seemed to be cut away and deviated from their trajectory.

The wind blades crashed into the earth, creating towering waves.

The fiery Magic girl emerged from the wind and flames, and the ice and snow that originally covered the earth were evaporated and melted by the blazing flames.

Phantom Wind seemed slightly surprised. After a moment of silence, he smiled and remarked:

"You've really gotten a lot stronger, Kirishima."

Wind System Magic girl who can manipulate various natural disasters.

That naturally includes storms, tsunamis, snowstorms... wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the like.

However, Phantom Wind clearly didn't like ice and snow Magic.

After that, the wind and snow stopped, but the sky grew even darker because the dark clouds that covered the sky had not yet dissipated.

With a thunderclap piercing the sky, the Fate Kite that emerged from it heard the sound of raindrops falling.

The heavy rain quickly poured down, extinguishing the smoke and flames. Along with the rumbling thunder, it continuously drenched the earth, and the air soon became cold and damp, chilling one to the bone.

Beside Fate Kite, the pitch-black Scissor Blades stuck in the ground, their blades washed clean by the rain, were as cold as mirrors and emitted a deep, dark light.

She reached out and pulled it up.

The outcome will be decided soon.

Volume Four Does This Count as a Magical Girl??: Chapter 80 Gathering and Facing

Maple Plain City is a city that rains often, and some say it's a city that cries often. Although Magic girls always bring hope and miracles, it is always accompanied by gloom.

So, the theme of this city is girls and rainy days.

In the past, Phantom Wind often appeared on rainy days, perhaps just a coincidence, but it was as if she appeared to stop the city's weeping, so some people called her the goddess of Maple Plain.

And the current scene matches that statement very well.

The Magic of the Phantom Wind brought gray rainy days, with thunder rumbling incessantly, and together with the wind and rain, it gave birth to the storm that the Fate Kite was about to face.

Both sides were constantly depleting their Magic Power, the boiling fire roared in the rain and storm, and Fate Kite's spirit became increasingly tense.

However, amidst the ear-piercing scraping of blades and the booming of lightning, Fate Kite couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity, taking a deep breath and saying:

"So, what about you, President?"

"I?"

However, Phantom Wind still has the leeway to respond to Fate Kite.

"Do you think what I'm doing is stupid or something?" Fate Kite put it more clearly.

Phantom Wind smiled.

"No, not at all. In fact, I think it's better than doing nothing."

She had just finished affirming it when she sighed softly, a look of regret on her face.

"But from my personal standpoint, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you then, no matter what. I can't accept anyone attacking my Miss Lily, and I'm afraid I'll have to become your enemy."

That's right, this matter happens to be related to her family's Haihara.

So when she received the invitation, Kazama Kiriori spent zero seconds thinking about whether she should help them fight her own mother or continue to be the most loyal mama's girl.

The final conclusion is beyond doubt.

---I'm afraid that Kazama Kiriori will not only fail to help Kirishima Ai and the others, but will actually become a Kirishima Ai for them because of this.

"... So that's how it is."

Fate Kite understood this time.

But I don't quite understand---

"Did the president try to persuade Teacher Haihara?"

After the two had to step back, Phantom Wind touched her slightly sore wrist. Her long hair was obviously wet from the rain, and it clung to her slightly pale skin, shimmering with a translucent light along with the raindrops.

Miss Phantom Wind shrugged in the rain, whether out of helplessness or indifference, it was hard to tell.

"That person is very willful. Once they have something they want to do, they will absolutely not listen to anyone else's advice, so my words are useless."

That's entirely conceivable, and I can relate to it deeply.

After speaking, as if remembering something, Phantom Wind's gaze pierced through the rain and fixed on Fate Kite, who was also soaking wet. He looked at Fate Kite's beautiful face, which gave off a rather aloof and self-centered feeling.

"So, Kirishima, do you think she'll listen if you try to persuade her?"

In the cold rain, the girl's voice was light and melodious, but unlike the usual calm yet somewhat cold tone of her senior, Fate Kite felt that Phantom Wind's words conveyed a different kind of emotion this time.

Seeing Phantom Wind's enigmatic, faint smile, Fate Kite didn't quite understand.

"I've already tried to persuade her, but I doubt she'll listen to me."

Of all the people who said it, hers was probably the most useless.

Although she's now a little unsure after seeing some memories from the past.

"Yeah?"

Phantom Wind's gaze initially drifted towards some distant, empty space, just as it had before the battle began, as if he felt that this would allow him to make eye contact with someone.

Then he looked away and took in the reality before him.

She slowly raised the gun barrel, with a fierce and surging curtain of rain behind her. The entire storm revolved around her, growing stronger and stronger. The raging hurricane, carrying water vapor, seemed to surge upwards, erupting with a howl that made nature tremble every moment.

"But I feel that perhaps only you can do this."

Why do I feel that way?

She didn't know either; perhaps it was just a gut feeling.

In that respect, she was a little jealous.

But there's also a slight hope that this Problem Child can actually be solved.

"Real?"

If I told you it was true, would you want to try it again?

"Definitely. No matter what, I'm going to bring Teacher Haihara back and restore everything to normal, back to how it was before."

Fate Kite said it was only natural, without the slightest hesitation.

Phantom Wind was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say about this decisive action.

And so, in silence, they ended the battle with their whole hearts.

As the battle drew to a close and the forces were exhausted, Fate Kite had no choice but to use some powerful Crystal to aid in the fight. She had just taken out a Crystal that she had prepared long ago.

But unexpectedly----

With a whooshing sound, the Crystal in her hand seemed to be drawn away by some force, and suddenly flew out of her hand.

"What..."

She watched helplessly as her Crystal was sucked away, and ran to the gun that Phantom Wind was charging up.

At the tip of the Lost Spear, Crystal continuously adhered and extended, like constantly condensing ice crystals, emitting an incomparably brilliant and clear iridescent light, primarily in the color of the blue sky.

The Magic Power in nature is rapidly gathering into Crystal, while simultaneously attracting all surrounding Magic Power Crystal, converging them onto Phantom Wind's Magic Armament.

Clearly, this is also the power of the Wind Devil King.

"Well then, Kirishima."

The girl closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, her pupils, face, and everything around her body were already bathed in the brilliant light of Magic Power, and the clanging of lightning resounded throughout.

"Let's start by proving this by overcoming the challenges before us."

Without further hesitation, Phantom Wind channeled all his Magic Power into his Magic Armament, unleashing his most powerful attack.

The fierce wind and thunder dragged out a trail of light like winding branches, gathering the torrential rain into a raging torrent. The entire wilderness before us was swept up in a shocking frenzy, surging endlessly with the impending, poised shot.

The dark storm clouds settled down, shaped by the spiraling storm spears into a vast vortex of clouds, which, with a deafening roar of thunder, surged forth with seemingly endless wind, rain, and lightning.

The roar of the storm was incredibly fast and deep, and the entire land was stripped of its color by this divine attack, leaving only its outline.

This is the final, decisive blow.

"Call..."

Fate Kite was a little nervous, and let out a breath to calm down.

Faced with the storm sweeping across the entire land, the Magic girl Fate Kite's figure appeared extremely small, yet she did not retreat an inch.

The ground beneath her feet had begun to deform and sink.

Fate Kite then raised both Magic Sword above her head.

Before the fierce storm, blazing and black flames suddenly rose, like two Flame Bird spreading their wings and embracing each other. They then intertwined to form a spiral that connected to the sky, spreading out two seas of fire, one black and one crimson, just like Paired Wings.

Regardless, she had to surpass the person in front of her.

Beyond Maple Plain City, past Lu Yi Yi Zhuo Ba Si Ba Yue/Yi - to the strongest Magic girl.

This one strike will decide everything.

Then—the two unleashed their attacks.

The Storm Spear clashed with the Flamewing Sword.

An endless storm engulfed the sea of fire, but it was also consumed by the flames. The collision of the two created unparalleled waves, and even with the protection of Magic, it directly crushed everything uneven under the sky.

Finally, the Wind and Thunder Spear pierced through the sea of fire and rushed further away, but the sea of fire did not dissipate. Instead, it continued to devour downwards like a beast with its jaws wide open.

The outcome of the battle came to a close amidst the deafening roar of the ensuing storm.

When all the flames and storms subsided, even though Fate Kite tried her best to dodge at the last moment, she was still grazed by that attack, and most of her Magic Gear was already broken.

She walked forward step by step, with immense difficulty, wanting to see the outcome.

However, it could no longer hold on.

Naturally, she leaned forward.

At that moment, Erliner felt herself being supported by a pair of slender and reliable hands in front of her.

Fate Kite raised her head and saw Kazama Kiriori, who had already deactivated her transformation, and smiled helplessly.

She heard the other person say softly:

"It seems you've won."

Upon hearing this, Fate Kite finally couldn't hold on any longer.

With a flash of light, the two Magic Sword swords in her hands crashed to the ground, and her Magic Gear was removed, restoring her to her original appearance.

Kirishima Ai is truly exhausted this time.

She sat down on the ground in a very unladylike manner, panting heavily.

Meanwhile, Sakaki Chika and the others, having transformed into Magic girls, repaired the devastation left by the battle and then rushed over to check on the two.

As Star Flower cast her healing Magic, the two exhausted individuals gradually recovered, and Kirishima Ai finally caught her breath.

The girl sighed, looked up, and asked expectantly:

"So, President, you're willing to join us?"
