Chapter 90
She was quite curious about where this little girl, who had transformed into Dark Feather, got her confidence that she could defeat Silver Feather.
Whether it was Broken Wing or Fallen Heaven, both were once the Witch's Magic Armament, so she was well aware of the difference in their abilities.
Although it is also a basic form, Dark Feather's power is ridiculously strong, far surpassing any Magic girl with a Magic name.
But Silver Feather possesses the Phoenix Crystal.
In other words, it's already outdated.
"..."
Dark Feather fell silent for a brief moment.
The Witch glanced at Dark Feather, then beckoned with her finger, causing the Dark Feather binding him to shift and tighten Dark Feather his body.
"Now, are you interested in talking to me?"
The girl nodded shyly.
Soon, the Witch gently tugged at the ropes, and in the next moment, all the ropes came loose from Dark Feather, and the girl fell to the ground.
After falling to the ground, the girl's bare buttocks touched the ground, and the places where she had been beaten earlier...
After the restraints were removed, Dark Feather's first reaction was to look for the clothes that had accidentally fallen to the ground. However, just as she was about to retrieve them, a Magic Power tentacle snatched them away, leaving her frozen in place.
"Keep looking like this until we're done talking."
The Witch said with a hint of wicked amusement.
The black tentacle continued to sway against Dark Feather's clothes, which were the same color as her Magic Gear...
With no other option, she could only desperately cover her skirt, even though at this point, she had nothing left to hide from this woman.
After a while, Dark Feather calmed down.
"You said you'd help me... so you mean your goal is also to defeat the Magic girl?"
After she asked, the Witch simply touched her chin gently.
That's one way to understand it.
"But since you possess such immense power, why do you seek my cooperation to defeat them?"
In her opinion, the Witch's words were somewhat incomprehensible.
The Witch before her, in terms of Magic Power, strength, and aura, far surpassed Silver Feather, whom she had fought that day.
Why would someone like that come looking for me?
Were they here to tease her?
"It's simple, because I don't want to do it myself, so I need you."
As she spoke, the Witch waved her hand, her tentacles picking up the Magic Armament that Dark Feather had just dropped on the ground, and then lifting it into the air, though she did not touch it directly.
The Witch said calmly:
"Of course, if you give me your Magic Armament, I can use it myself."
Upon hearing her words, Dark Feather immediately snatched her small Magic Wand back from the tentacles with extreme vigilance. However, for some reason, her Magic Wand seemed to still feel a certain attachment to the black mist, or perhaps a fondness for the woman shrouded in the black mist.
Only the Overlord himself can use his Magic Armament; women shouldn't be able to steal them, but even so, one should still be careful.
She carefully tucked the Magic Wand behind her skirt.
After that, Dark Feather began to seriously consider what the woman had said.
The opponent is extremely dangerous, possessing greater strength than himself and an incredibly wicked personality.
But this person said they wanted to help me...
"But... how do you intend to help me?"
Dark Feather raised her head and gazed at the Witch in front of her, shrouded in black mist from which nothing could be seen.
Under the girl's expectant gaze, the Witch said:
I will give you the power you desire.
Just like Black Death Cult with Snake Crystal to enhance their power, she now wanted to make this Black Magical Girl stronger so that she could pose a threat to those Problem Child.
"As for how to do it..."
No Magic girl knew better than her how to make the Magical Girl Dark Feather stronger.
Whether it's Broken Wing or Fallen Heaven, both are powerful Magic Armament with one main slot and one sub-slot.
This also enabled the Fate Kite, which transformed using two non-high-grade Crystal, to possess power comparable to that of Sacred Domain.
If Dark Feather wants to become stronger, he also needs to master the power of the Magic Crystal.
The Witch snapped her fingers, and countless points of light appeared in the black mist, slowly turning into Crystal and falling in front of Dark Feather.
Dark Feather lowered his head and looked at the Magic Crystal.
The Crystal came in all sorts of colors... rose red, grayish white, blue, and even an unprecedented dark green.
Bat, butterflies, balloons...
They're all Magic Crystal.
Why does this woman have so many Magic Crystal...?
"You've been collecting these Magic Crystal before, haven't you? I can lend them to you during battle."
These Magic Crystal were all Crystal she had collected from Monster.
She looked at the Magic Crystal on the Dark Feather Magic Wand.
The best way to enhance your character is to replace the Transformation Magic Crystal in the main slot and transform into a new Magic girl, just like Silver Feather transformed into Fate Kite.
However, she needed to recall where such Magic Crystal could be found...
It seems that in the Witch's memories, R'lyeh still possesses a Magic Crystal that a Fallen Heaven could use.
Perhaps, after this, we can retrieve that Crystal.
After showing these things to the little Witch, the woman reached out and lifted the girl's chin.
"Then hurry up and choose."
"Do you want to cooperate with me or not?"
Dark Feather felt a little itchy from the woman's tickling and instinctively flinched.
But after seeing those Crystal...
There was no time for her to consider. After a brief moment of deliberation, she reached out and took the woman's hand.
To achieve her goal, she needs power, and while the woman before her is dangerous, the prospect of gaining her help is undeniably appealing.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you... my dear... Miss Witch..."
Although she still harbored a fear of women, since they were going to cooperate, An Dark Feather regained her previous elegant and composed demeanor.
If one of her hands wasn't covering her skirt.
And so, the two villainous Magic girls formed a temporary alliance.
The Witch nodded in satisfaction:
"Very well, then let's agree on a time and place for our next meeting. That concludes our initial meeting for now."
It was already quite dark, and for most people, it would probably be time to draw the curtains by now.
That was the end of their first meeting.
Just as Dark Feather was about to stand up and leave, she noticed something.
It's so cool under the skirt...
She hasn't gotten her clothes back yet... which were taken from her by the tentacles at the beginning.
Dark Feather looked up and saw the Witch smiling faintly, while the girl's little dress had disappeared into the thick black mist.
She didn't quite understand what that meant.
"Excuse me... could you please give that back to me?"
The girl's face showed a bewildered and innocent expression.
The Witch, however, smiled.
"As final punishment, you may return like this."
"... What?"
At first, she didn't understand what the other person meant, but after she realized it, Dark Feather's face turned pale.
She suddenly felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body.
"No... didn't we agree that you'd return it to me after we finished talking?"
She felt like crying.
From here... how do I get home?
Even after the transformation is deactivated, she's still... completely naked underneath her skirt.
But this wicked woman showed absolutely no remorse.
"Don't worry, I used Magic; there won't be anyone else on the road."
This woman doesn't seem to have forgotten the time he called her old.
That's just too perverse...
In other words... she's going to go home with nothing underneath her skirt?
Seeing that Dark Feather was still hesitant, the Witch gently shook her head:
"Miss Dark Feather, you wouldn't want to be unable to gain power because of this shame, would you?"
Chapter Twenty-One: The Suzuki Family
A rarely discussed fact is that Maple Plain City is a city with a high incidence of depression. It is located in the north, has a cold climate, and experiences an incredibly long rainy season in the summer, sometimes with the city shrouded in clouds for more than a month.
Overcast skies, rainy days, and indifferent people—this was once a repressive city.
Perhaps this is also related to the fact that this is a place where those evil forces have taken root.
It wasn't until the arrival of the Magic girl that a glimmer of light shone through the gloom of the city.
At night, Suzuki sat on his sofa at home, eating a fruit salad while watching the evening's television programs.
However, when this child is at home, she basically stays in her room the whole time, which sometimes makes Suzuki feel like she's all alone in the house.
These past few days she's been watching a tokusatsu drama with a Magic girl theme. She herself isn't particularly interested in this genre, but her female colleague has been watching it recently, and she watched it too so they'd have something to talk about when they're drinking together.
On such a quiet night, with only the sound of the television in the room, and lying on the sofa, it's easy to feel sleepy. However, these past two days, she's been having trouble sleeping because of some worries.
She's almost thirty and still hasn't found a partner, so she's been living alone since she started working. She used to feel lonely sometimes and thought about sharing an apartment with someone, but she thought it would be too inconvenient and didn't do that.
Recently, there have been other people in her house.
She is her sister's child.
She was alone in the house now; the child who was temporarily staying with her had left about half an hour ago.
Taking advantage of this moment, she made a phone call to her sister.
She and her sister weren't very close because of their large age difference and their incompatible personalities, so they rarely called each other.
My sister is usually very busy at work at this time, so it took her a while to answer the phone.
[Nana, is something the matter?]
A calm and intellectual woman's voice came through the phone.
Nana is Suzuki's name, which sounds a bit old-fashioned, so Suzuki doesn't really like being called by that name.
She envied names like her colleague Haihara's, which sounded like the protagonist of a shoujo drama.
"I wanted to talk about... Yu Ke."
