She felt a little dizzy, as if she had suddenly fallen into a dream.

I looked up again and saw the shrine still in the rain.

Yinyu looked down at his hands, the magical girl's clothes had disappeared and his field of vision seemed to be shorter than usual.

She was wearing the yukata she wore as a child.

Rainy days, shrines, yukata.

Silver Feather... Kirishima Ai remembered when this scene happened -

It was the day Hina went missing...

Chapter 71 The Most Beautiful Freshman

"Hina, where are you?"

On a rainy day, Kirishima Ai shouted in the deserted shrine, but the only response she got was the continuous sound of rain. Her whole body was soaked by the rain, and the cold feeling seeped through her skin into her whole body. She gradually felt despair.

Just like when she was a child, her sister was missing and she got no response no matter what she did.

A feeling of despair surged in her heart, and Kirishima Ai felt like crying.

She bent down helplessly and squatted on the ground for a while. The rain covered her slippers and soaked her feet and clothes.

What if she really defeated the Demon King...

Hina will once again be unable to walk.

It will always be like this...

But she was still powerless. Even as a magical girl, she had no way to save her sister.

She stood up, trembling.

I called out a few more times, but still got no response.

"What should I do? Someone please tell me..."

Kirishima Ai wiped her tears in embarrassment and talked to herself in despair.

In her mind, scenes from the past began to emerge.

It was also on such a rainy day that she and her sister met a strange man. It was really a very, very scary strange man, especially for a child.

The monster attacked her and her sister, and after being hurt, her sister fell in the rain, covered in blood... and the monster was still getting closer and closer to them.

It's different from what you see in the cartoons...

In the cartoons, as long as you call, the magical girl will come and save those who are in fear and despair.

Because magical girls are heroes who protect others.

But Kirishima Ai waited for a long time that day, but the hero did not appear.

It's different from what's shown in the animation.

My sister's hero did not appear.

and so……

"My sister is always like this...braver than me."

So, it would be nice if she could be a hero to her sister.

Kirishima Ai was drenched by the rain and she slowly raised her head.

'Just like my hero...'

In fact, she is also afraid of the dark.

Whether she was a child or grew up, she has always been very timid, and in fact, she is terribly afraid of weird people.

The time she encountered a strange man as a child, she was so scared that she couldn't speak, wanted to run away, and was frightened to the point of wanting to cry.

but……

"Will you protect me..."

Kirishima Ai heard the crying, she took small steps to find the source of the crying, and then ran towards the shrine...

Memories of my childhood came back little by little.

I remember… I was hiding in a dark shrine, in a corner.

Finally, she stepped into a shrine with her whole body wet from the rain. The light inside was very dim, but this seemed to be the place where gods were worshipped.

Inside the shrine, there is a dusty statue of a bird with red feathers that resembles the sun.

Kirishima Ai looked towards the corner of the club.

In a dim corner, a little girl in a bathrobe huddled there, sobbing.

"………elder sister?"

As if she finally noticed the person coming in, the little girl raised her head in confusion, but her eyes were dull, stained with a hint of uneasiness and a deep blood red.

After seeing her sister who was drenched in the rain, Hina, who was wearing a yukata, lowered her head again, as if she didn't want to look at Kirishima Ai.

"I'm coming, Hina."

It was still raining outside the shrine.

The little bird in the shrine looked dull and lifeless, as if its feathers were wet by the rain.

"Now...come with me..."

Kirishima Ai looked at her sister and wanted to get closer, but for some reason she hesitated and stopped there.

And so, in the heavy rain, the two sisters hid in this shrine and remained silent for a while.

The younger sister lowered her head and did not look at her sister, but continued to huddle in the corner.

After a while, she asked in a low voice:

"Sister, do you still remember the magical girl show we watched together before?"

Kirishima opened his mouth.

"Remember……"

The first magical girl show they watched together was Magical Girl Vermillion. The protagonist was a girl full of a sense of justice, and she also had a younger sister.

Zhu Hong is very handsome, and he always appears first whenever there is a strange incident.

She is Hina's favorite magical girl.

The later magical girl Yinyu is very similar to the magical girl Zhuhong in that cartoon.

"Then, we followed the example of the sisters in the magical girl show and raised a bird. We named it Little Vermillion."

Hina's tone was a little depressed.

"Sister, did you... lie to me before?"

The devil told her that her sister was lying and that little Zhuhong, whom they raised together, might have met with an accident.

Kirishima Ai tilted her head, not knowing how to respond for a moment, and finally lowered her head:

"Well... Little Vermillion is sick. Maybe... he won't live for long."

She lied to her sister.

Drops of rain fell from the girl's hair, wetting the floor.

Hina also fell silent.

What does that bird...Little Zhuhong look like now?

If you get sick, you won't live long.

Just like herself...

And the last moments of life were also spent in that small cage, just like a ward counting down to death.

If only they had let little Zhuhong go earlier.

Hina buried her head in her knees.

"I'm different from my sister... I'm a coward and very selfish."

She used to hate the magical girl Silver Feather.

On rainy days, she hid in the shrine alone, shivering, and could only wait for others to rescue her.

Even after being possessed by the devil, she still stubbornly thought only of herself, thinking about how her sister had deceived her, and about how little Zhuhong had done the same thing to her.

"That day, I hid in the shrine. I was so scared that I couldn't speak... I just wanted others to come and save me as soon as possible."

"…………"

Therefore, someone like me cannot become a magical girl.

Becoming the vessel of the Demon King seemed to be a matter of course.

A true magical girl is someone like my sister who can muster the courage to save others.

People like her can just be defeated by the magical girl...

…………

Black fog gradually filled the surroundings, and Kirishima Ai felt as if she had fallen onto the rain-soaked ground again.

Her hands were stained with rain and mud, and were scratched and bleeding.

Consciousness gradually returned to reality.

It seemed like everything that happened just now was just a brief illusion.

She was not at the shrine.

The rain dripped on her head again, and when she raised her head slightly, she saw the devil's feet stepping in the rain.

He turned his neck with difficulty and looked to both sides, and found that his two companions had been knocked down and were lying in the rain, covered in wounds and without the strength to continue fighting.

"Now, do you understand? Magical girl."

The Demon King said coldly, then stood condescendingly in front of the magical girl Yin Yu.

"That's what she thought."

"She is such a selfish, cowardly, and timid person, that's why she became my container."

This is the most suitable container for it.

"But soon, she won't hear your voice anymore."

"It's about time this farce came to an end."

The fact of defeat was before us.

The memories of the past also led her step by step to despair.

What truly defeats a magical girl is not the difference in strength, but the "heart".

Without the reason to fight, the magical girl has no power left.

But just when the devil thought so, Yin Yu supported himself on the ground with one hand and tried to get up.

It shook its head impatiently:

"Do you still want to struggle..."

However, Yin Yu lowered his head and whispered -

"Actually... I'm scared too."

The rain soaked her whole body, making her look weak and disheveled, not at all like a magical girl who could protect the city.

Just a few years ago, there was that little girl looking for her sister in the rain.
