Elephant still remembered.

How the girl who had been so strong and stout clung to her, her small body trembling.

She cried because she was afraid of fighting and losing her life.

So she felt she had to protect her.

She knew she could not let this girl fight any longer.

And yet,

「Sylph-chan!」

The girl is now standing on the battlefield in Elephant’s line of sight.

「——— —」

The girl, Tyrant Sylph, raised her great cane and moved her mouth.

Everyone present understood that it was a magic key word, although they could not hear even the words of Sylph floating high in the sky.

The wind, roaring and curling up.

Screaming like a beast no one had ever seen before, three tornadoes were released from the great staff of the Sylph. They attack the Giant Diest, wriggling its huge bodies like serpents with a will.

「That’s magic on a huge scale. And it’s completely controlled. She’s very good at this.」

Knuckle, who had distanced himself from the Diest with Elephant at the same time the tornado was generated, marveled at Tyrant Sylph’s magic.

Many nature-based magics have high firepower, but if they are not well controlled, their aftermath can spread far and wide. In this respect, Tyrant Sylph’s magic precisely attacks only the Diest and its surroundings, and Knuckle who was observing from a little distance are only hit by a strong wind.

「But I’ve never heard of a witch like that. Even if it’s phase 2, there’s no way she’s a nobody with that kind of power.」

Samurai Peach, who had evacuated with Blade and Press as well as Knuckle, joined them and questioned them.

According to current published information, there are 12 witches. Their appearance, the magic they use, their names as Magical Girls, and their main areas of activity are widely known, and Tyrant Sylph was not among the twelve.

Also, a strong Phase 2 magical girl, though not as strong as a witch, naturally sells its name. Their leader, Magical Girl Extend, is also well known to the extent that few people in the area know of her.

In Samurai Peach’s view, Tyrant Sylph is a Magical Girl who can stand alongside Extend. It was hard to imagine that such a Magical Girl had never been known before.

「That girl just recently became a Magical Girl.」

「I don’t think she have ever released a video or anything.」

「Does it make sense? That’s what’s so puzzling about being that strong as a newcomer…」

「It’s not impossible. I heard that the Sleeping Witch was the strongest from the very beginning.」

While Blade and Press mingled in conversation and talked about Sylph, Elephant was the only one who just stared at Sylph as she manipulated her magic.

The raging tornado was chipping away at the Diest’s huge body more and more while the four were conversing, and the next moment it regenerated, it was shattered into pieces again.

In addition to the fact that the Diest is struggling to regenerate its physical body, it is unable to even move properly due to the intense storm.

The speed of regeneration gradually slowed down, and within a few minutes, the Diest was gone.

「Looks like it’s over.」

「Nhn? Was that girl trying to transfer away!?」

「Sylphy-chan is a solitary magical girl, you know?」

「Wait, Elephant!?」

When the battle was over and the magical girls were taking a breather, a glowing transitional magic circle began to overlap the Sylph’s body.

Tyrant Sylph’s lack of cooperation was something the magical girls of Sakira Town were accustomed to, but it was unexpected for the magical girls of Junkoi Town that she would walk away without exchanging any words, even after such a fierce battle.

While Press was giving a proper explanation to the two astonished people, Blade shouted out.

Elephant jumped up faster than the three could shift their gazes in surprise at the sound of her voice.

She ran up and up using pre-collapsed houses, apartments, and condominiums as footholds, and finally jump into the sky with her all-out body strengthening magic.

「Sylph-chan!」

「Eh!? Elephant-san…」

Elephant embraced Sylph, who was becoming enveloped in the light of the transition.

This does not mean that they will be able to transition together. Elephant knows that.

Still, the only reason she came this far recklessly was because she wanted to talk to the Tyrant Sylph.

But she was one step too late.

Just as Elephant was about to say something, the light shone brighter and disappeared along with Tyrant Sylph.



When the light of the transition subsided and she opened her eyelids, which had been closed by the glare, Elephant was in a room she had never seen before.

The room was furnished with a bed, a small desk, a television, and various other objects that gave the impression that someone was living here.

「You’ve come to the right place, Elephant-san.」

「Uweehh!?」

She heard a voice very close by, right above her, and when she looked up, she saw Tyrant Sylph with a dumbfounded look on her face. The transformation has been lifted, her hair, which used to be in twin-tails, is now long and bedraggled, and she is wearing only a single, fugly T-shirt.

Elephant hastily removes her arms and remembers that she was clinging to the Tyrant Sylph.

Then she understood the situation. Elephant had been caught in the Tyrant Sylph’s transition.

「Wh–Why…?」

Essentially, there is no such thing as being involved in a transition because one was in contact with a magical girl in transition. If you activate it with the intention of transitioning together from the beginning, you can do something similar, but this time it is not by the will of Sylph. Elephant knows this, and that is why she was puzzled that she has been able to follow Sylph to her new location.

Tyrant Sylph seems extremely calm, despite the fact that something that should not have happened is happening.

It was as if she had been blown out of the water, as if she no longer had any doubts, and there was a certain composure that was not the calmness that had come from her previous strength.

「I’m sorry, Sylph-chan. I didn’t mean to follow you.」

「I understand. Elephant-san is pushy, but she’s still very considerate of what she really doesn’t want me to go into.」

Sylph giggles at the apologetic Elephant.

Seeing Sylph, Elephant was more happy than sorry.

Sylph looked happy when they played as friends for a day that day, but now she seems even more spontaneous than that.

Elephant was inwardly frenzied that Sylph had finally opened up to her.

「I can’t help what I’ve come to do. It’s a small place, but please take your time. I don’t have any food on hand, but can you have barley tea to drink?」

「Eh, ah, yeah, it’s alright.」

Elephant was puzzled by Sylph’s attitude, as if a friend had come to visit.

(I know it’s a little late for this, but this is Sylph-chan’s house… Should I say hello to her father or mother?)

She waited for Sylph, who has gone to get some barley tea, to return, feeling a complex mixture of excitement and a little uncomfortable, as if she was visiting a friend’s house for the first time.

While waiting, Elephant, who was a bit bored, looked around the room and found a stuffed elephant on display.

(Sylph-chan, you take good care of it. But this is the only stuffed animal you have, and your room is very simple…)

There are no cute accessories or stuffed animals typical of girls, and the layout seems to emphasize functionality.

Elephant understands that not everyone likes pretty things, but even so, she felt that the room was bleak for a little girl’s room.

「Thank you for waiting. I took the time to find a cup for you because I never get any guests.」

「No, it’s alright, I’m not waiting at all!」

「So, what’s the matter? You wanted to see me about something, didn’t you?」

Even though she had no intention of following her, Sylph knew that she had something to do when she suddenly jumped on her, and that is why she did not turn her away. If this were a magical girl other than Elephant, it would be a different story, but Sylph is not impervious to Elephant.

「Yeah! That’s right! Sylph-chan!!」

Elephant, who had forgotten her original purpose in the rush of events, finally remembered what she wanted to say and what she wanted to hear when Sylph told her.

「Sylph-chan, you said you were afraid to fight, right? You’re also afraid of being deprived of fear. So why did you come to fight? I said you didn’t have to come, you know? The other magical girls helped us, and we probably could have managed without Sylph-chan coming. You don’t have to push yourself anymore, okay? If you don’t want to fight, you can run away. So if we lose, it’s a consequence of the choices we made. And you don’t have to worry about that, Sylph-chan, okay?」

Elephant was concerned that Sylph might have shown up to the battle feeling responsible.

The strength of the magical girl named Tyrant Sylph is overwhelming. There is such a difference in their abilities that she quickly annihilated a Diest that it took five people to finally bring it to a decent standstill.

But that is no reason why Tyrant Sylphs should fight.

There is no responsibility for being strong. It’s up to you to decide what you want to do with that power.

Even if many magical girls will lose their lives in the coming battle, it has nothing to do with Tyrant Sylph.

「You may not think of it that way because you’re so kind, Sylph-chan, but you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.」

If Sylph had something she wanted to protect, even at the cost of her life, as she did, Elephant had no intention of stopping her. No, It doesn’t matter what the reason is. If Sylph is fighting of her own will, she had no right to stop her. But Sylph said it. She don’t really want to fight. She was afraid to fight.

So Elephant stops Sylph. If she tried to fight by hiding her true feelings, she would always try to stop her by asking her about her true intentions.
