Festival of Lights · Diwali
Haihara balanced her secret dealings with the Black Death Cult against her efforts to protect her students, especially when she rescued Sakaki Chika from her abusive home. The girls’ search for liquor ended with Takanashi Shiori summoning Roland Eldritch, the dean of Moon Academy.
Haihara’s connections with Kiriori, Chika, Ai, and Kage deepened as the Bird-Type Demon King spread her influence through Hina and the city. The students and magical girls set out on a mountain camping trip, with Hina’s struggle against the Demon King still unresolved.
Kirishima Hina became the Demon King’s vessel, forcing Kirishima Ai to awaken a new form and defeat the Demon King before a mysterious woman took its crystal. After Hina began recovering, Haihara found a new job and grew closer to Liang, while the Magical Girls faced questions about the black-mist woman and Ai’s growing strength.
Haihara's entanglements with her students and her growing connection to the Witch unfolded alongside Dark Feather's rise and defeat by Silver Feather. The Witch took Dark Feather to R'lyeh in search of power, and they arrived at Black Forest.
Haihara and Dark Feather traveled through R’lyeh, where Yuka took a powerful crystal and became a monster before Haihara stopped her. Meanwhile, Takanashi uncovered ties between Haihara, Lilith, and Queen Al White, and Haihara left with Kougami Kage to revisit her childhood home.
Haihara drew closer to Kougami Kage and her daughter while her students investigated the Chameleon Monster and the secrets of past Magical Girls. The Chameleon ambushed the Magical Girls at the festival, leaving Fate Kite fighting several monsters as Hina sensed a frightening magical presence.
Phantom Wind tried to take over the fight against Chameleon Monster, but Dark Feather joined the monster and unleashed Nightmare Dragon, trapping the Magical Girls in a world of memories. As they searched for a way out, Kuroki Yuka relived the fire that haunted her and saw Teacher Haihara risk her life to save her.
Haihara and the Magical Girls defeated Rainbow Snake and exposed Kurosaki Asuka as Rainbow Feather, while Takanashi awakened the Golden Key’s power and nearly killed her. Haihara then revealed herself as a Devil King, pursued the Devil King Crystals, and set off on a hot spring trip with Kirishima Ai.
Teacher Haihara and Kirishima Ai took a trip that brought them closer, while a series of Monster attacks and revelations drew new threats toward Maple Plain City. After Cangyue Yuri was transformed into a puppy and found by Haihara, she was adopted as Haihara faced the prospect of being separated from her students.
Kirishima Ai struggled with her fading bond to Silver Feather while Haihara confronted memories of Lilith and helped Kuroki Yuka become Dark Kite again. At the museum, President Cangyue’s plot forced Fate Kite and Black Kite into battle, and Silver Feather’s crystal began to glow.
After the museum attack, Ai became closely tied to Silver Feather while the Magical Girls investigated her growing power and Yuri’s transformation into a puppy. Haihara’s reunion with Liang and memories of Lilith’s past brought old connections into the present, while Ai and Silver Feather kept their secret from the others.
Silver Feather’s crystal began to fail as the ghost woman and the Black Death Cult pushed her toward her monstrous nature. After Haihara rescued Silver Feather and took her to Kougami’s laboratory, Silver Feather admitted she wanted to live, while Kirishima Ai was left to recover and face the danger of her own fading body.
Kirishima Ai and the Magical Girls fought Belial and the Thousand Fiend while Ai faced the memories and fears that bound her to Silver Feather. Ai defeated Silver Feather without destroying her, and Silver Feather faded after entrusting Ai with her courage and blessings.
Belial faded away, while Haihara’s students faced strange magical disturbances and shared Christmas with her. After Christmas Lily fought Tachibana’s transformation into the Flower Demon King, Haihara vanished, leaving the Magical Girls searching for her.
Haihara Lily Chou lost her memories and returned to a child’s form, leaving her students and allies to care for her while they investigated the curse. As Lily grew closer to Takanashi and encountered a mysterious Demon King, the others uncovered a threat linked to Lost Paradise Twilight and wondered what had happened to Sakaki Chika.
Haihara began recovering fragments of her memories while Thousand Sins and the other Magical Girls fought the Black Death Cult to find Sakaki Chika. Trapped in Tachibana’s dream, Chika confronted the loneliness and grief behind her wish to keep smiling, and the arc left her facing her transformed father.
Star Flower rescued Sakaki Chika from Tachibana and reclaimed her confidence with Haihara Lily Chou’s help, while the Magical Girls uncovered a time-stopping Black Death Cult member. Haihara lived with Kazama Kiriori as they tried to rebuild their bond, until Tachibana confronted Kiriori and demanded that she hand Haihara over.
Tachibana altered Haihara’s age and memories, taking her to World Apart while the Magical Girls prepared to rescue her. The group stormed the demon tree, and Kazama Kiriori transformed with the Ace crystal to confront the Black Death Cultists blocking her way.
Phantom Wind and Star Flower fought their way to Tachibana, while Kazama Kiriori and Haihara Lily Chou confronted the dreams and grief binding them. Kiriori became Savior Skywind and defeated Ailulu, the citizens were restored, and Haihara reunited with Kiriori as the remaining Devil King Crystal stayed unaccounted for.
Haihara faced Kazama Kiriori’s confession while navigating her feelings for Kuroki Yuka, Cangyue Yuri, and Auntie Kougami, and she agreed to keep Kiriori close despite refusing to become her lover. As the class prepared for its school festival, Princess Dailuoluo set out to retrieve Lilith’s artifact, and Miss Lily’s dream and Haihara’s hidden clue left new questions hanging.
