Chapter 355 Sakura Magician
Chapter 355 Sakura Magician
In the Service Club, as Harumi Nakano finished her club activities, the sky outside the window gradually darkened. The setting sun, like a shy maiden, slowly lowered her blushing cheeks, quietly hiding her gentleness and radiance behind the mountains.
In the past, she would never have carried a heavy schoolbag home. In her mind, the only purpose of these books was to block the teacher's view, to create a thin veil between them, so that they could teach their lessons and she could do her own thing without disturbing each other.
But all of this took a strange turn after she took a few people to the rooftop to meet the strange transfer student.
She couldn't remember what happened on the rooftop, but the only thing she still vaguely remembered was a strange voice that kept echoing in her head:
Learning is the cornerstone upon which humanity stands at the pinnacle of all things, and the key to mastering the future.
[Learning—only through continuous learning can humanity maintain keen insight and the ability to respond to crises, ensuring its own safety and development.]
Go and study, young lady, for only through learning can life be truly beautiful.
You'll die if you don't study!
【.
Study, my foot!
These were Nakano Harumi's inner thoughts as she stepped off the rooftop. She no longer cared about the transfer student, because these words were like a recording, repeatedly playing in her mind.
Not only her, but also Oshima Sakuna and others were like this.
No matter how she covered her ears or banged her head on the table, it was no use; these words kept echoing in her mind.
But everyone else acted as if they hadn't heard a thing, continuing with what they were doing.
The strange noise only started to subside when she picked up her book during class, unable to bear it any longer.
When she told Oshima Sakuna and Kawada Kei the news, they didn't believe it at first, but after actually trying it, they found that the voice in their heads really did weaken.
What surprised them even more than the annoying noise was that their memory seemed to have improved; they could memorize ancient poems and words from books after just a few glances.
However, the only drawback is that this ability seems to only work with textbooks. When they take out novels, this annoying sound comes out again, and in their eyes, the words on these novels even begin to slowly turn into patches of mosaic.
So, what exactly did this transfer student do to them?
If the other party beats them up badly, they'll accept it, acknowledging that they're simply outmatched.
But their current strange appearance was too eerie. Of course, they considered going to find the teacher, but as soon as the thought came to mind, a chill ran down their spines.
Without a doubt, if they dared to tell the teacher, something absolutely terrifying would happen to their bodies.
Harumi Nakano regretted it a little. Why did she have to provoke that transfer student?
"Why don't we give it a try and study seriously? I've already finished reading all those novels, and there haven't been any new idols debuting lately, have we?"
"Kawada Kei said."
"Me too."
"Me too."
Harumi Nakano and Sakuna Oshima exchanged a glance and silently picked up their books to begin studying.
The moment Nakano Harumi picked up the book, she felt as if she had seen her favorite cosmetics in a store and that she had just enough money to pay for them.
unstoppable.
All three of them were completely absorbed in studying all day.
The transfer student arrived in the classroom in the afternoon.
As Harumi Nakano saw the transfer student getting closer and closer, her heart skipped a beat. She knew that the reason the three of them were in this state was all thanks to this transfer student. Although studying seemed to be quite enjoyable, she always felt strange about this forced and involuntary feeling.
It was a bit unpleasant.
Therefore, when she heard that the other party was planning to rebuild the Service Club and was going to recruit them into it, Nakano Harumi refused outright.
The Service Club—just hearing the name tells you it's not a good club.
Although we are a little unhappy that you make us study, we all know in our hearts that studying is definitely a good thing, we just don't like it.
But serving, buddy, absolutely not! Don't think they haven't watched erotic anime!
When they refused, the transfer student explained the purpose of the Fengbu Club, and the three of them immediately agreed.
Being forced to study by others is very painful for them, but it's a completely different story if they are the ones forcing others to study.
The Service Club is a wonderful club dedicated to helping students who dislike studying fall in love with learning.
When Nakano Harumi got off school in the afternoon, she boarded the train home, as her teacher described her.
During peak times, a train carriage in Japan resembles a sushi roll, with each person like a grain of rice inside, pressed firmly yet remaining a complete individual.
To be honest, Harumi Nakano doesn't like taking the train. Perverts are a very mysterious thing; you might think they're there, but they never show up.
But they appear when we let our guard down.
However, in Sakura-cho Ward, the train is the safest place to go home, as neither monsters nor abyssal beasts rarely launch attacks at the train station platforms.
Because there are the most magical girls here, launching an attack here would be counterproductive.
As a result, places other than the tram are full of strange people.
If you're lucky, you might even see monsters fighting each other, or even abyssal monsters fighting monsters.
Today, Harumi Nakano seems to be having good luck.
啊—
A terrified scream startled the girl who was intently flipping through her textbook.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage shook violently.
Fortunately, an older man grabbed the girl's arm, preventing her from being thrown off balance. The other passengers who lost their grip were thrown to the other side of the carriage by the immense inertia.
"Little friend, please sit here."
The uncle looked at the girl clutching her textbooks and smiled with satisfaction. With such a studious girl in Japan, how could Japan not stand up one day?
"..."
Nakano Harumi was completely bewildered as the older man pushed her into a seat, while the man walked towards the spot where the collision had occurred, much to the girl's confusion.
The next second, a loud creaking sound rang out, and a long spider spear pierced into the carriage, easily piercing several passengers. It felt like being skewered on a stick. The surrounding passengers could no longer bear it and screamed wildly.
Harumi Nakano's complexion wasn't much better; she was pale.
She never expected that she would be attacked by the Abyss Beast on her way home.
As the vehicle was stopped by the Abyssal Beast, the humans inside finally got a clear look at its overall appearance: a large spider three or four meters tall, with eight sharp and long spider spears on both sides. Its body was covered with a hard shell, covered with strange patterns and spots, resembling a bizarre totem.
In the dim light, these patterns seemed to shimmer with an eerie glow, sending chills down one's spine.
The atmosphere was oppressive; no one in the carriage dared to move, afraid of being noticed by this terrifying thing.
At that moment, Nakano Harumi suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was the uncle who had given her his seat earlier. He fearlessly opened the carriage door and walked towards the terrifying abyssal beast.
Amidst the bewildered and puzzled gazes of the crowd, the man's body suddenly underwent a drastic change. Thick black energy completely enveloped him, stripping him of his human form and replacing him with a hideous monster.
Suddenly, the monster opened its eyes and let out a terrifying and sharp screech. Its eight legs swung rapidly. Even though the surrounding space was not wide, its speed was exceptionally sharp. The two figures, one large and one small, collided fiercely in an instant.
Seeing this, the people in the carriage could no longer hold back and opened the doors to try and run outside.
However, at this moment, a few sounds were faintly heard in the dim light. Then, another long spider spear appeared and with a few swift movements, the fleeing people were instantly cut in half, their internal organs scattered all over the ground.
The squeaking and creaking sounds around them suddenly increased; they were from countless small abyssal beasts, which frantically rushed onto the human corpses and began to devour them.
At this point, everyone in the carriage understood that they had encountered a hunt for abyssal beasts.
Upon seeing this, a staff member resembling a train attendant came out and said, "Everyone, please stay hidden in the carriage and don't move. These monsters will prioritize hunting moving prey; they prefer live prey. Also, the shrine maiden is on her way quickly, so don't worry."
Shrine maidens are magical girls, just as magical girls are called Arbiters in Ye Qiu City; the names vary from place to place. However, regardless of the location, most young people still prefer to call these beautiful girls magical girls.
Hearing the staff's words, the people in the carriage, though still pale, were at least no longer as anxious as before.
What truly made them feel at ease and ashamed was the young girl in the carriage who was engrossed in reading. All of them were mentally inferior to a little girl.
Under Harumi Nakano's influence, the people in the carriage gradually calmed down, and they began to call their families to explain various things.
In this state of despair, a pink figure appeared on the horizon, with long, glossy black hair cascading down like a waterfall, a few strands cleverly braided into small braids and wrapped around her ears.
She wore a long kimono that reached her ankles, with a light cherry blossom pink base color and intricate cherry blossom patterns embroidered on it. The edges of the kimono and the cuffs were inlaid with fine pearls and jade, which made a crisp and pleasant sound as she moved.
"Cherry Blossom Shrine Maiden?"
"We're saved! It's a cherry blossom magician!"
Hearing the calls from the passengers in the carriage, Nakano Harumi also raised her head. Even she, a girl who didn't often follow magical girls, had heard of the name Sakura Shrine Maiden, because many people said that Sakura Shrine Maiden was the strongest magical girl in Japan, which she hadn't believed before.
But now she believes it.
In her gaze, cherry blossoms slowly rained down from the sky, countless petals swirling around her, forming a giant cherry blossom shape.
The magical girl stood in the very center of the bouquet, and with a soft cry, she uttered, "Purification Realm - Evil-Dispelling Light!"
In an instant, a dazzling light gathered from the center of the petals, condensing into a brilliant beam of light that shot directly toward the Abyss Spider.
When the smoke cleared and the people in the carriage looked in the direction of the Abyss Spider, the spider's figure quickly dissipated in the bright light, finally turning into specks of dust that drifted away with the wind.
The battle ended, and the cherry blossom mage vanished, leaving only a shower of petals slowly falling, bringing this brief but intense clash to a perfect close.
From the arrival of the Sakura Mage to the death of the Abyss Beast, everything happened so quickly that the people in the carriage couldn't quite process it.
"Is that all?"
Watching the Sakura Magician leave, Harumi Nakano couldn't help but feel a desire to become a magical girl, but this thought was quickly suppressed by the study voice in her mind.
No, you don't want to be a magical girl, you just want to study hard.
When Harumi Nakano returned home, her mother, Nishiko Nakano, had already prepared the meal.
Harumi Nakano's appearance is derived from her mother, Nishiko Nakano. In her early thirties, even though she has already given birth, her face still looks young, with long, black hair tied in braids that hang down over her magnificent, undulating chest.
Harumi Nakano glanced around; her father hadn't returned yet. But it was better that he wasn't back; at least she didn't have to worry about him going on a drunken rampage for no reason.
Seeing Nakano Harumi's actions, Nishiko hesitated and looked nervous: "Your father might have to work overtime today, why don't we eat first?"
"Um."
The two remained silent, the only sound in the quiet room the news report: "A disaster has occurred on the Chikogawa Line in Sakurahana Ward, resulting in five deaths, eighteen serious injuries, and one missing." "Harumi, the Chikogawa Line seems to be your usual route. You weren't injured on your way back, were you?"
"Ugh, this is so annoying! I'm just sitting here perfectly fine, why are you asking so many questions?"
Harumi Nakano despised her mother Nishiko's weakness. If it weren't for her mother's weakness, her father's behavior wouldn't have become increasingly outrageous, to the point that he openly kept a mistress outside the marriage.
"6
'
Nakano Nishiko dared not speak. Seeing the other party's cowardly appearance, Nakano Harumi became even angrier.
He went straight into his room.
"Ugh!"
Nakano Nishiko sighed softly, as if lamenting the unpleasantness in her relationship with her daughter.
But if Harumi Nakano were in the living room at that moment, she would have noticed that her mother no longer showed any weakness, but instead appeared cold and puzzled.
Why would the Eye of the Abyss appear on my own daughter's body? It seems that the Eye of the Abyss is not among Princess Tsuru's retinue.
So, Demon Princess Phantom Butterfly has arrived in Silver City, Dongying?
Sigh, I was planning a big family reunion dinner, but it looks like that's not going to happen now.
Nakano Nishiko cleared the dishes from the table, and began to wallow in self-pity again.
