Chapter 208 - Sakura Kyoko

The women present all let out small gasps of surprise.

Hitomi and Sayaka remembered that Adam seemed to have mentioned other worlds yesterday- that magic healing light he had used.

"-Therefore, there are no other people in this world with abilities like mine." Adam spread his hands as he concluded. "There are only magical girls like you, student Tomoe."

Of course, Kyubey might have done other experiments which might have resulted in similar things like superpowers appearing….Though Adam doubts it, it is indeed a possibility.

"Then Teacher! Teacher! What are other worlds like?"

Having mostly ignored it yesterday because of Kyosuke, Sayaka naturally couldn't resist her curiosity when she heard about this other world again today.

"The world I live in is called Earth. It had a similar development to this world. Except a mysterious force called honkai is threatening civilization..."

..

.

Adam gave a very brief description of the honkai world. Only the barest of bare bones. 

Yet, this still was enough to give them chills.

"T-this is a bit too much, right?"

Sayaka quickly deflated.

She longs for a world filled with superpowers and grand adventures—the cool things! Not something so depressing!

"Teacher Adam…."

Madoka and Hitomi, standing to the side, also had downcast expressions.

They never expected Teacher Adam's world to be so depressing.

"I see…."

Mami lowered her head, her emotions unreadable.

"Can I come with you?"

The blond girl asked, looking up at him with half-lidded eyes.

What is she thinking? It's a mystery. But judging by her conflicted gaze, even she herself isn't sure.

"...Sure, if you insist."

The silver-haired man looked deeply at the only magical girl in the room.

Of course, he won't actually take her to his world. Well, he might, but most likely not. It depends on how the final plan will turn out.

"If it's alright with you, can you not call me 'Student Mami'?" The blonde clasped her hands. "It feels weird."

Looking at her earnest expression as she made this request, Adam narrowed his eyes.

"Sure, Mami."

He smiled at her, now knowing that he has definitely succeeded.

-Of course, calling someone 'Student' constantly is also weird. It feels wrong.

"Okay, please call me that from now on, Mr. Adam."

Mami mirrored his smile, her face alight with satisfaction.

The other three girls looked at their interaction with confusion.

Why did it seem like Mami and Adam knew each other for a long time?

..

.

After lunch break ended, only Adam remained alone in his council room.

The silver-haired man faced the window, the sun's glow gently bathing his face.

"Though I expected this, I'm still surprised."

He put his hands behind his back, speaking out loud without caring for Kyubey listening in on him.

[Individual Mami Tomoe has retained an impression of you.]

"Yes, this is very good. My plan hinges on this, so it's good to actually have a confirmation"

[Madoka Kaname also has retained an impression.]

"...."

[As a foreigner outside of this world, you disrupt cause and effect. Individuals you come in contact with are also within the scope of this 'disruption', and thus get affected.]

"Did you see anything in Sayaka and Hitomi?"

[Negative. Preliminary requirements to qualify are: Contact, and a deep emotional connection.]

"Looks like we need to speed things up."

Adam put a hand under his chin and pondered.

For the plan to work well, it'd be best to have all magical girls that appeared canonically to be there in the final battlefield

Originally, he planned to find Sakura Kyoko in the next reincarnation. But since he has obtained the confirmation he needs, he can speed things up

..

.

Without hesitation, Adam spread all his senses throughout the entire Mitakihara and the surrounding cities. With [Great Sage]'s processing, he quickly filtered through all the information and found his target.

-He located Sakura Kyoko's location and discovered that she is currently strolling around the neighboring Kazamino City.

..

.

The silver-haired boy wasted no time and teleported near her location.

The faint breeze whistled in his ears, and he felt the air brush against his face. Listening to the birds chirp, he raised his head and observed Sakura carefully.

Her outfit is exactly the same as the one in the anime.

She has long, crimson hair tied with a black bow, a middle parting, and a pair of bright red eyes. 

A cute girl normally, however, right this moment, she is wearing a light green casual outfit and blue jeans.

Of course, though her outfit isn't great, she's still a pretty girl- so it doesn't matter.

"Hey!" 

Four thugs, looking like hooligans dressed in tattered clothes, approached her and stopped her in place.

"Little girl, how about lending us some money?"

These 4 ugly greasy guys asked her 'politely'.

As for pedestrians? She had veered off course to a non-frequent spot where the weren't many people. That's also the sole reason these thugs dare rob her in broad daylight.

"Finally here. You guys are so slow today."

Sakura Kyoko rubbed her hair, looking impatient.

She deliberately wandered through these deserted alleys, waiting for these people.

Although the inheritance her father left her was enough for her to live on, she preferred to 'borrow' some pocket money from these people.

After all, these thugs here are like monsters in a game- constantly spawning new waves. Since she has a ready made source of income, why not take advantage of it?

"Hey! Stop dawdling and hand over your money right now!"

The thugs all brandished knives and threatened crimson haired girl.

"How much do you want?"

Just as Sakura was about to make her move, she heard the sudden voice of a man.

 "I'll pay for it."

A silver haired man appeared in the alleyway, unnoticed by both her and the thugs.

His appearance is exquisite, and his clothes neat and tidy. He looks like a typical young master from a well off family.

"Huh? Kid, you're rich?"

One of the thugs walked up to the newly appeared man and stared at him with his eyes narrowed.

"Just so-so." The silver haired man stared back at the thug with no trace of fear on his face. "How much do you want?"

Why is the foreigner looking so amiable in front of such scum? Nothing much, he's just feeling merciful today and has decided to give them a chance to live.

"How about one million yen?"

After sizing up Adam and estimating his wealth based on his looks, the thug made an outrageous demand.

"Oh…?" The supposed 'young master' raised an eyebrow without changing his expression. "You guys are really greedy."

As expected, they don't value the chance he's given them.

Of course, even they themselves don't know who they are provoking, so it's understandable.

The only thing preventing them from being given the death sentence is the fact that they only asked Sakura for money and not something else.

"What? You want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but you're unwilling to give us this little bit?" The hooligan's expression turned fierce. "So were you just talking big?"

"Keke!"

The rest of the thugs all looked at him with sneers.

"You, who asked you to save me?!" Sakura stomped her foot on the ground as she glared at him. "Get the hell out of here!"

She isn't grateful for his 'save'. 

"Haha! Kid, it seems she's not very appreciative." The lowlife chuckled. "But you can't leave yet. First, hand over all the money you have."

He extended his rough hand and made a grabbing motion.

"Haah, and I was trying to be a saint for once."

Adam sighed in pity.

"Huh? You-"

"Guess what? Izanami."

Before the hooligan could finish speaking, the silver haired boy's eyes glowed.

Thud

Thud

Thud

-And the thugs dropped to the ground like puppets without strings immediately after. Echoes of bodies hitting the ground echoed throughout this alleyway, with dust being kicked up.

"Um?!"

Sakura frowned. Her body tensed, and she immediately drew her weapon and pointed it at Adam.

"Who the hell are you?!"

This random man who looks like a sheltered young master just made 4 people faint in an instant. Sakura is an elite magical girl, and she has never seen anything similar before.

Is he a magical girl with transformation abilities?

"What do you want from me?"

The cherry haired girl glared at him and bared her teeth.

Though she looked fierce, she didn't rush to attack or make a move. Both out of caution, and because this guy's intentions are unclear.

"I heard you have been letting familiars attack humans?"

Adam crossed his hands behind his back, his expression righteous.

Sakura Kyoko is a magical girl who focuses her energy on defeating the witches themselves and utterly ignores their familiars. Those familiars in turn slaughter humans.

She is not a bad person, however, you can call her 'righteous' like Mami, either.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?"

The petite magical girl's expression changed.

Is he/she one of those righteous Magical Girls who wants to give her a piece of their mind?
