Chapter 93 End of Call

Emerald Sparrow's hand tightened slightly, but there was no excess of expression on her face, "What is Black Ash Dawn?""That's exactly the second matter I wanted to discuss with you. There were two groups that attacked Fangting City this time: one was 'Claw Mark,' composed of rebellious Magical Girls; the other is this organization called Black Ash Dawn."

The blonde girl opposite the mirror spoke evenly, "According to investigations over the past two years, we can basically confirm one thing, in the incident where Magical Girl Sakura was attacked, this organization called Black Ash Dawn was involved."

"Who are they?"

"A group of people who believe they can overthrow the Magic Kingdom."

Golden Green Cat's Eye's words carried no emotional tone, but Emerald Sparrow could sense a hint of disdain, "Composed of restless magicians from the material realm and radical enemies from the inter-realm."

Upon hearing this, Emerald Sparrow fell into brief silence.

Two years had not cooled the flames of hatred in her heart. Hearing the names of her enemies and the news of Tumi's death only added fuel to that fire.

She and Tumi were not really acquainted; after all, she had retired too early, so early that she had never fought alongside Tumi. What kind of Magical Girl Tumi was, what types of battles she excelled in, or her style in combat, she had no idea.

They were merely acquainted due to An Ya, nothing more than a senior and junior in name. In fact, Tumi was just a teammate of An Ya's.

However, Tumi ultimately stepped onto this perilous path to investigate An Ya's death and now had truly paid with her life. This left Emerald Sparrow with a feeling of unrest.

She suddenly recalled the Remnant Beast she had killed a few days prior, supposedly a creature that had originated from Black Ash Dawn and had transformed from a human.

Merely ripping that Remnant Beast in half seemed too lenient now.

Emerald Sparrow thought silently.

However, she was still in a formal conversation, so she must suppress her emotions and continue to ask calmly, "…What about the others from Fangting City?"

She had long grown accustomed to suppressing, accustomed to silence. She would not show her anger towards her enemies to anyone, as this was not the right occasion for an outburst.

"The others are still on duty."

Apparently oblivious to Emerald Sparrow's emotional fluctuations, Golden Green Cat's Eye flipped through her notebook and closed it, "Regarding Tumi's sacrifice, colleagues in the Investigation Institute are also saddened by it. It's just that the matter of the sacrifice subsidy is handled by the Magical Affairs Institute, and the efficiency of the Magical Affairs Institute… regrettably, you know, we can only describe it as 'regrettable'."

Emerald Sparrow nodded impassively.

As the only power structure that had yet to be assigned a Gemstone Scepter and nominally under the Queen's direct control, the Magical Affairs Institute was actually the most lax and disorganized. The Magical Girls who worked there were mostly natives of the kingdom or veterans who had joined the kingdom and been away from the frontlines for many years. These people were notoriously lazy in their work and had always been the target of sneers from the Magical Girls of the other Four Great Institutions.

Putting aside the matters of the Magical Affairs Institute, whether or not Golden Green Cat's Eye truly felt sorrow for Tumi's "sacrifice" as she professed, deserved a big question mark.

Because, everyone who knew Golden Green Cat's Eye came to a consensus: No one knew what her true thoughts were.

As a Gemstone Scepter who had held her position for over a hundred years, Golden Green Cat's Eye kept her past tightly in her own hands, and since taking the position, she never openly expressed her stance on anything.

This was one of the reasons Emerald Sparrow disliked dealing with her.

"Besides the matters concerning your juniors, there is also your companion, Miss Margaret, recently promoted to the rank of Flower Card and the one with a soaring reputation in the institute for becoming the new patrol Magician."

Seeing Emerald Sparrow remain silent, the blonde girl opposite the mirror suddenly spoke up again to add, "While she was on a solo investigation mission in a foreign land, she somehow learned about the recent events in Fangting City, so she applied for a transfer to Fangting City…"

Emerald Sparrow shook her head grimly.

"That's good, it seems my decision was the right one."

The Golden Green Cat's Eye narrowed her eyes, silencing her voice, "It seems you really don't want to meet her."

"If possible, at this stage, I don't wish to meet any 'old friends,' Director."

Forced to respond, Emerald Sparrow said somewhat helplessly, "That goes for Margaret as well." Your journey continues on empire

"Then, I will respect your wishes."

Somewhat noncommittally nodding her head, the Golden Green Cat's Eye seemed to have said all she wanted to say, setting aside the notebook in her hand, "So, since I can see you again standing before me as a Magical Girl, does this indicate you have thought about what to do next?"

"...I know, I am prepared." seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Emerald Sparrow spoke softly, "I just need to stay in this city for a while longer. The Magical Girl of Fangting City has been gone for generations, and before the true day arrives, I need to train a newcomer first."

"I think Miss Margaret can help you with training newcomers," hinted the Golden Green Cat's Eye.

"Better not, if she knew I was making a comeback, I guess there would be quite a few problems," Emerald Sparrow insisted, shaking her head.

"You should know that the Institute always has the most informed information, and if she wished to investigate, she would always find out the news from Fangting City."

The words spoken by the other party rendered Emerald Sparrow silent again, because she knew all of it was true.

"Alright, then let me confirm one last time, you still intend to stay in Fangting City and have no intention of going to the Magic Kingdom, nor do you wish for more people to know about your comeback, right?" Seeing Emerald Sparrow still didn't answer, the Golden Green Cat's Eye didn't repeat herself but gently moved on from the topic.

"Yes."

"Then that is all, the purpose of this conversation has been achieved."

The blonde girl narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, "You may end the call now, Miss Emerald Sparrow."

"My respects to you, Director."

Emerald Sparrow nodded, then reached out and touched the gem atop the magic mirror. After a surge of magical power, the image in the mirror began to blur.

—"But before we end this, there is one more thing I need to remind you of."

Before the magic mirror call ended, the blonde girl suddenly added, "Regarding the current Seeder in Fangting City, the Fairy called Moco, it may harbor some little secrets."

"While it's not necessarily a bad thing, if you're interested, you might want to find it and learn a bit about them."

As her words trailed off, the image in the magic mirror also disappeared completely, reverting to an ordinary mirror once again.

And the final piece of information plunged Emerald Sparrow into thought once more, looking at the magic mirror in silence for a long time.

The call with the Golden Green Cat's Eye had thus come to an end.
