It must be said that Shiori's luck was really good, not in the sense that she could roll the exact numbers needed, but that her every action would advance the story's development.
Because Shiori had never played this type of game before, and Illya-san's story was truly too exciting, Shiori wanted to know what would happen next in the plot.
However, upon hearing the word [Ancient God], Shiori finally realized that something was wrong, and the pen she was using to write dropped to the floor.
The ancient god descended, and all who gazed upon it instantly lost their sanity. The world was declared destroyed by the ancient god's descent, and the game ended.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Shiori. Because of your decision, the world was destroyed. Truly worthy of Shiori, to achieve the most difficult ending."
"Eh? I... I destroyed the world? And this is the most difficult ending?"
Shiori hadn't reacted yet. After hearing that this was the most difficult ending to achieve in the game, Shiori was completely flustered.
"Exactly. Because of your detective identity, Shiori, and your persistent spirit, you actually found the correct way to summon the ancient god. In fact, some of the residents of this island you came to are cultists of the ancient god. The reason why there were strange paintings in the mansion is because the owner knew too much information about the ancient god, and an ordinary person's sanity simply couldn't comprehend the existence of the ancient god. So, he went mad."
"To uncover the truth, you kept searching. Finally, in your search for the truth, you gradually became obsessed, summoned the ancient god, and destroyed this world."
"Truly worthy of Shiori, indeed a person who accomplishes great things."
Everyone applauded Shiori, and even Tohka, who had no idea what was happening, followed suit and clapped.
However, Shiori stated that she was not happy at all. She didn't intentionally cause such an ending, it was all... it was all... "Wait a minute! I remember you secretly rolled the dice behind our backs while playing, didn't you? Were you intentionally leading me to a total party kill ending?"
"Well~ who knows? But this is also very interesting, isn't it? After all, it's just a game, used to pass the time."
[Rumble!]
Suddenly, a harsh, cold sound rang out, and the quiet sea was brightly illuminated by the lightning.
A violent wind suddenly rose, not a sea breeze, but an unnatural, mechanical wind, growing from small to large, from virtual to real, a process that even ordinary people could see.
The seawater was whipped up by this violent wind, and the waves grew larger and larger, gradually developing into giant waves.
"This is..."
Everyone in the room looked at the sudden change in the weather outside. Illya-san clearly felt something and looked towards a certain area.
The surrounding wind grew stronger and stronger, and the trees near the hotel were almost blown down, and the wind still had a tendency to intensify.
"Is this... a Spirit?"
Shiori stood up. If this was also caused by a Spirit, then she needed to go and check the situation.
However, Illya-san stopped Shiori, who was about to go out, and shook her head.
"Don't go, Shiori. If you do that, you'll die."
With such a strong wind, Shiori's small frame would probably be blown into the sky before she could even take a few steps.
Even if Shiori had Kotori's recovery ability, falling vertically from a high altitude onto the ground would probably turn Shiori into a puddle of red liquid like a tomato.
"But..."
"Alright, seriously. You all stay here. It's my turn to make an appearance. Really, I'm not weak either, so why do you all think I'm an Elementary School Student?"
(fuhai: No, you are an Elementary School Student, alright.)
With her petite body and such a tender face, if it weren't for people who knew her, they would definitely think Illya-san was an Elementary School Student, right?
And you're not weak... We haven't seen you use any abilities, and while Inaba Tsukiyo is indeed very powerful, what does that have to do with Illya-san?
Sighing helplessly, Illya-san expressed great dissatisfaction with Shiori and the others' doubts.
She just hadn't used the power of this body yet, and she had tried her best to be low-key before, so why did these people think she was easy to bully?
"Hmph! Underestimating me! I'll show you how powerful I am! It's just a storm, I'll solve it in a few minutes."
"ruby! Onegai!"
"Yes~ yes~ Illya-san, you finally called me out."
Under everyone's shocked gaze, ruby flew out from Illya-san's head. Its two wings flapped very humanly, seemingly greeting everyone.
With ruby's help, Illya-san completed her transformation.
Illya, transformed into a Magical Girl, held her magic staff and flew out of the room under everyone's stunned gaze.
It wasn't until the storm outside the room blew in that Shiori snapped back to reality and closed the window tightly again.
Leaning against the window, Shiori recalled what Illya had said during her self-introduction when she first transferred in.
"She really... is a Magical Girl."
