Chapter 99

"The train ticket back to R'lyeh has been applied for, and you should have packed your luggage by now. We'll leave this afternoon."

As mentioned before, this holiday gave them the opportunity to travel to R'lyeh, and if they were lucky, they might even have the chance to meet the legendary Her Majesty the Queen.

Kirishima Ai put away her train ticket.

"I've packed everything up... but what if I can't reach someone who tried to contact me during that time?"

Their trip will last at least three or four days. While it's fine for ordinary tourism, this is a trip to another world, and she has absolutely no experience with it, so it's impossible for her not to be worried.

There probably isn't much cell phone signal in R'lyeh.

Takanashi shook his head at this.

"Don't worry, although we'll be staying in R'lyeh for several days, in reality, due to the time travel, Earth will only be there for less than a day while the train is on its journey."

"Yeah?"

Kirishima Ai somewhat surprised.

This kind of setup seems quite common.

Because of time travel, the flow of time in the two worlds becomes completely different, and so on.

If it's only for less than a day, then that's certainly acceptable...

"Anyway, just enjoy yourself. R'lyeh has a lot of interesting things to offer, although there are quite a few annoying guys there too..."

Takanashi Shiori is having a rare moment of joy.

After returning to R'lyeh this time, she must apply to the academy for all the benefits she deserves for her training on Earth, at least for her own house and living expenses.

With living expenses, I can do many things.

What can it be used for?

Should we buy her a gift for her sugar daddy's mother...?

She began to ponder to herself.

Chapter Thirty: Next Stop

Maple Leaf Plaza is a famous tourist attraction in Maple Plain City and one of its most bustling areas.

During the day, many young girls dress up as their favorite Magic girls here.

I've heard that occasionally, real Magic girls sneak in among them.

But that's just an urban legend.

The sky was slightly overcast today. A little girl was waiting for her parents, surrounded by a crowd of people. In her other hand, she gently held a red balloon, but it was accidentally knocked away by an adult passing by.

The little girl stared blankly at the rising balloon, like a bird released from its cage, as if gradually breaking free from the shackles of gravity, flying towards the empty, cold sky.

She opened her mouth and called out a few times in a panic.

However, her attention was quickly drawn to other things on the street.

She was a very glamorous older sister dressed in a black and purple dress, with a small Bat- like hair accessory on her head, and seemingly, incredibly, she also had a thin tail.

The little girl's first impression was that this older sister looked like Silver Feather.

"Is the older sister Magic girl too?"

There were many other Magic girls around.

They were all dressed in clothes similar to those of Silver Feather or Star Flower, but none of them knew Magic.

The black-clad Magic girl gently bent down amidst the bustling crowd, revealing a smile:

"Yes, the older sister is Magic girl."

"Does that older sister know Magic?"

The older sisters said the same thing, but they just looked like they were wearing clothes that resembled Silver Feather's; they couldn't fly or conjure up beautiful flowers.

But the Magic girl seemed to have thought of something, and picked up the small Magic Wand in her hand.

Then, the older sister told her to close her eyes.

The little girl obediently did as she was told, waiting for the older sister to cast her Magic. When she opened her eyes again, the older sister had a purple balloon in her hand that was exactly the same as the one that had just flown away.

The little girl looked at the balloon with surprise and delight.

"Look, it's Magic!"

The black-clad Magic girl handed the balloon to the little girl, then bowed like Magician after a performance.

After conjuring the balloon, the Dark Magic User turned to leave, but shortly after she walked away, she heard a "bang".

She paused for a moment, turned her head, and saw that the little girl's balloon had popped, and the frightened little girl burst into tears.

Without offering any comfort, the Dark Magic User awkward for a moment, then sighed.

"I guess I'm really bad at this kind of Magic that helps people..."

If it were Star Flower, turning a balloon into a balloon should be a piece of cake.

But for Black Magical Girl like her to conjure balloons to amuse children is still a bit of a stretch.

It will only turn into a prank to scare children.

After seeing the child's mother arrive, the Black Magical Girl didn't turn back. Instead, she went to the agreed-upon place according to the address given by the Witch.

There are many Magic girl cosplayers around this square, so she can walk down the street without anyone suspecting anything.

However, because she was dressed as the Magical Girl Dark Feather, who has recently become a hot topic online, people often asked her for photos, so she had to use Magic to reduce her presence.

What few people know is that there is an abandoned underground station near this square.

Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering, and there are no tickets available.

Stepping over the prohibited railings and obstacles, she descended the stairs, gradually moving from the darkness towards the light deep underground. The surroundings were incredibly quiet, as if completely isolated from the outside world.

When you reach the bottom, there's a closed door in front of you, and lights are shining from the ceiling above.

She glanced at the sink next to the door and recalled what the woman had told her.

Dark Feather took a Magic Crystal from her Magic Wand and inserted it into the slot beside the door.

"Welcome, Magic Girl Color Feather."

The familiar voice of the Magic Wand Fairies.

The device next to the door appears to be something like Magic Armament.

However, she said with some dissatisfaction:

"I've already told you, I'm not some kind of Color Feather."

None of her clothes could be considered colorful; in fact, she was completely black, bearing no resemblance to Color Feather whatsoever.

In short, after inserting the Magic Crystal, the door opened, she retrieved her Magic Crystal, and entered the station.

The station inside was very clean and beautiful, but there were no passengers, and the first impression was one of quietness.

She glanced around casually and saw the trash cans in the station.

There seems to be a box of mango-flavored juice inside.

Has anyone already been here?

A sign hangs on the ceiling of the station.

"R'lyeh Station".

Below it is written "For Magic Girls Only".

Dark Feather didn't pay much attention and continued walking inside the station. However, she didn't stop at this station but instead found an inner staircase and went to the waiting hall next door.

After walking through the corridor, she arrived at a place that was somewhat darker than the waiting room she had just left. But once she entered, she found that it was not just dark, but rather eerie.

The waiting hall gave off a dilapidated impression.

Dark Feather's feet trod across the cold floor, making almost no sound. The murky, unlit floor barely reflected her dark silhouette, yet it was remarkably clear in the silent waiting room.

Rows of iron chairs, some rusty and others damaged, revealing sharp edges.

The ceiling lights flickered on and off, and the loudspeakers in the hall occasionally emitted jarring, distorted sounds.

It felt completely different from the neat and beautiful feeling it had just given us.

Looking outside, the tracks seem to be in a bit of a mess; I wonder if they're still usable...

The sign had many words crossed out by someone.

It's barely discernible that it's called "Belial Station," probably referring to the legendary Black Magical Girl.

This is the inner station, distinct from R'lyeh Station.

The woman told her to wait there.

"Hasn't he arrived yet...?"

Looking around and finding no one else, the Magical Girl Dark Feather casually picked a rusty iron chair that wasn't broken yet and sat down, swinging her legs as she did so.

Her Magic girl form can last for a long time as long as she's not fighting.

So you can wait patiently for that woman.

"Never mind, let's rest for a bit first."

After a while, she felt a little sleepy, so she closed her eyes, crossed her legs, and rested for a bit on the chair.

The clock in the waiting room ticked slowly, the second hand making a constant ticking sound. Unbeknownst to her, Dark Feather, who was resting there, had become somewhat drowsy. It wasn't until she sensed a familiar Magic Power aura that she finally opened her eyes.

She rubbed her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the waiting hall, where she saw a woman shrouded in black mist standing there.

Sure enough, even in a place like this, he was still completely obscured.

This inevitably disappointed her somewhat.

After all, she still didn't know what this Witch looked like.

"Good afternoon."

After she woke up, she gave a beautiful yawn, then curled up like a cat and stretched.

She raised her arms overhead, stretched her limbs, and stood up from the chair.

The Witch also responded:

"Good afternoon. You should have all your luggage by now."

"Of course I took it," Dark Feather replied casually.

The Witch nodded, then took out a crumpled ticket from the black mist, which looked like it had been unusable for a long time.

The train will arrive at the station soon.

And naturally, this train will lead to the world of that mysterious Magic girl, R'lyeh.

Even so, Dark Feather herself knew virtually nothing about that legendary world.

All you can do now is follow the woman in front of you...

The Witch simply tied her hair up, and before she knew it, the sound of a train whistle gradually drifted from the end of the tracks.

"Then, let's set off."

Chapter Thirty-One: Greatness needs no further explanation.

The station they had just been at was a hidden station prepared for the Black Magical Girl.

However, what they have in common is that this train also goes to R'lyeh.

After the train started moving, Dark Feather looked out the window curiously, but all she saw was darkness, as if she had entered a long tunnel and couldn't see anything.

"So, once we go to R'lyeh, we'll be able to obtain the power to defeat Silver Feather?"

The reason they took this train to R'lyeh was because of the Witch's invitation some time ago.

It is said that there is a way to obtain power there that can rival Silver Feather's.
