Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Page 216

But at that moment, before Xiangzi had even started thinking about what to do...

A powerful guitar riff erupted from the sky.

The sound echoed through the night sky.

"The world is so vast, yet I wish it were even bigger, and even bigger still!"

The soaring guitar music drew everyone's attention to the sky.

A tiny golden spot, no bigger than a sesame seed, fell from the sky and entered Xiangzi's field of vision.

"That is......"

Xiangzi stared blankly at the falling figure.

That's one of the Protagonists, the leader and lead vocalist of Hello, Happy World!, the heiress of the Genmaki Zaibatsu, and the true owner of the Genmaki—

The strings of the heart.

Why is she here? !

Oh no, the String Roll is her ship, how can she not be here... But, but, but! How could she appear at this time!

What do you want?!

not--

"There are so many exciting things~ so many joyful things~"

String Heart sang a cheerful song, like a mechanical deity descending, like a shooting star falling onto the sea.

"Heart—! You didn't bring a parachute!"

Whoosh-!

A second figure descended from the sky—a pink...bear?

The bear's feet spewed out high-temperature flames, like those of a jet aircraft, and it approached the falling core of the coil at an exaggerated speed.

Two figures fell into the tsunami.

"Kokoro, I've got you!" The pink bear hugged Kokoro, who was free-falling. "Next time, remember to bring a parachute, okay...?"

"Yay! Michelle!" Heart smiled brightly in her arms. "Your smile is great today too!"

"Haha... Michelle has this expression every day."

Beneath Michelle's hood, Misaki Okuzawa, one of the Protagonists of Reed Plains and the person behind Michelle in HHW, gave a helpless smirk.

They received the distress signal from the Strings within a few hours and rushed over immediately.

As a result, they arrived just in time to witness the tsunami.

“Heart, where do I put you?” Misaki asked.

"Just put me down on the sea," Xin said with a smile. "Michelle, hurry up and save everyone on the ship."

"understood."

Misaki controlled her outer armor and suddenly changed direction when she was only five or six meters away from the sea surface, letting go of her worries.

The man and the bear separated in mid-air.

The pink bear flew toward the rickety String, its backpack opening to release dozens of palm-sized jet drones that pressed against the already overburdened middle section of the String.

But it's not enough.

Misaki looked up and fired a laser beam into the sky.

A few seconds later, drones rained down from the sky.

These things, which clearly did not come from normal human technology, unleashed astonishing power, forcefully stopping the String Horn's downward trend.

The remaining six hundred people on the ship were finally free from crying and making a scene on the deck, which was tilted at a 30-40 degree angle.

Michelle landed on the deck and gazed into the distance.

The girl who faced the tsunami head-on.

“Miss Oze, the young lady…” The captain stood beside Michelle, looking at the golden figure, and said worriedly.

"Don't worry." Misaki raised her bear paw and patted his shoulder. "That's her heart. There's nothing she can't do."

The string heart gently landed on the sea surface, like a feather, without making a sound or stirring up any waves, defying the laws of physics, standing on the sea surface as if walking on flat ground.

The sea breeze tousled her long golden hair, yet her heart remained steadfast in the face of the approaching tsunami.

What does she want to do?

she......

Clenched fists.

Then, with a push of his feet, he disappeared from the spot without splashing a single drop of water.

From afar, Xiangzi saw a golden meteor flying towards the tsunami.

Genjuro took a deep breath, inhaling the sea-scented air into his lungs, transforming it into energy, and condensing it in his clenched right fist.

"Hey!"

With a cry from her heart, she threw a punch that struck the overwhelming curtain of water.

The world seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards——

Boom——————!

The tsunami blasted a hole in the sea.

=======

The oncoming water curtain was shattered into a shower of water droplets, and the spreading ripples were punched by Xin, creating a gap large enough to accommodate the stringed instrument and the entire area around it.

Even the speed at which the water curtain spread was slowed down by the impact of this punch.

If this trend continues, by the time it spreads to the major islands of Ryukyu, it may no longer cause much harm.

Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned his attention to the center of the tsunami.

Although Bsk and Cascade disappeared on the surface of the sea, they left behind a huge magical vortex that stretched from the seabed into the unknown distance.

so......

Was that the black witch I just saw Chu Hua? Has she completely turned into a witch and is beyond saving?

Xiangzi bit her lip, shook her head, and denied her own idea.

No, although she looked like a witch, she always felt that Bsk looked a little different; she didn't have that violent, malevolent aura about her.

Bsk......Hatsuka wanted to fight Mio to the death.

But where are they going?

Xiangzi gritted his teeth and plunged headlong into the magical vortex beneath the sea.

=========

thump--

In the deepest part of the ocean, a whirlpool moves forward with the ocean currents on the seabed. Bsk is in Cascade's mouth, drifting along with the ocean currents on the seabed.

The sound of the splashing water nearly shattered Bsk's eardrums. It pulled its hands out of Cascade's mouth, grabbed its upper and lower jaws, and forcefully pried them outwards.

With the blessing of the souls, Bsk grew to a size of about sixty meters, barely half the size of Cascade's head.

“Ah ...

Bsk grinned and uttered a sound that belonged to Chu Hua.

"Where do you want to take me this time?!"

“Let’s go somewhere where no one can bother us!” Mio’s voice floated from Cascade’s throat.

"You're scared—you're scared of those magical girls who fell from the sky? You don't even need the barrier to protect you anymore, yet you're afraid of them?!"

The jaws began to loosen, and Bsk's eyes on one side of his head widened to their maximum, actually managing to pry open a gap in Cascade's jaws, which resembled those of a crocodile.

"That's enough, shut up!"

Mio's voice became furious.

She didn't want to admit that she'd been right. The five auras that appeared in the sky were more powerful than the dozen or so magical girls on the Scroll combined. Even if she were the Flower Witch who had fully ascended to immortality, she wasn't necessarily confident she could kill them.

Not to mention Chu Hua, who is actually the biggest threat to him and can steal the vengeful spirits accumulated in his body.

If all these people attacked together, she would definitely lose.

So she fled, escaping the original sea area, and headed towards a deserted sea area with Bsk.

She fears no one but Chu Hua—Chu Hua will take away her power.

However, she could ignore everyone else, except for Chu Hua.

She was determined to make Chu Hua a complete part of herself!

The sea dragons, resembling the Great Wall, carry jet-black beasts as they navigate the ocean currents, as if riding an underwater Shinkansen, drifting along the ocean currents towards the unknown future.

Bsk struggled, its sharp claws pricking Cascade's skin like needles. Calculating that they were almost there, it twisted its massive head and flung the sixty-meter-long beast away.

Bang!

Bsk crashed through the water and returned to above the sea level.

The massive body was tossed into the sky by Cascade, then crashed back into the sea, splashing up a huge spray of water.

Logically, it should have sunk and been at the mercy of Cascade in the water, but miraculously, Chu Hua instinctively gripped the surface of the sea with its hind paws, knelt on one knee, and did not slowly sink.

The sensation underfoot wasn't like stepping on water, but rather... stepping on unseen ground?

"This is......"

Chu Hua felt a force lifting her up from the ground, a force that didn't belong to her.

It was a thin layer of wind that supported Bsk's feet, allowing it to walk on the sea as if it were flat ground. She had only ever seen such power in one person.

"Mother?"

Inside the barrier, Chu Hua suddenly turned around and looked at Lin.

Outside the barrier, Bsk was surrounded by a gust of wind, and the high-pressure airflow condensed at its hands, making its claws expand even more.

"This is my last power as a magical girl." Lin stroked her daughter's head and gently kissed her forehead. "Use it well."

Lin's magic as a magical girl is manipulating air currents, and she has developed her own way of compressing air currents into various weapons that she needs.

"Why does Mom have such magic?" Chu Hua asked curiously.

“Because…” Lin blinked, “I was born in a country where it’s rainy for two-thirds of the year, and the sky is always gray, making it very inconvenient to stargaze. My wish back then was to be able to see the stars anytime.”

Thus, he gained the magic to manipulate air currents, allowing him to remove any clouds that might get in his way.

It's really practical; ever since Lin made her wish, she's never been unable to see the stars because of the weather.

"Could it be that she dislikes Mom's magic?" Lin pouted.

"Uh..." Chu Hua twitched the corner of her mouth, "...Not bad?"

"How can you talk about your own mother like that?"

Lin tapped Chu Hua's forehead, then seemed to realize something and immediately changed her words.

"Watch out, it's gone!"

"Who's missing?"
