Mahou Sensou:Volume 2 Epilogue

Epilogue

A portal opened in a mirror from which a person emerged, making its surface ripple as if the mirror was made of water. That place was Tokyo of the living world, which was full of things that the ruined world did not have. Proof of this was the siren of an ambulance that at that moment was passing in front of the building where it had just appeared. That person was Violet North, who was wearing a hood, which she removed, revealing her face. She let out a sigh and started to fix her blonde hair. At that moment, she started to walk hurriedly because first of all, she wanted to visit a person who was very important to her and who was sleeping in that place, but her feet stopped suddenly before reaching the room she was looking for. Violet grimaced in complete displeasure as she saw a man approaching from down the hall, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his trench coat. However, that man smiled as he always did and greeted her by waving his hand and saying:

-Hello! You've done a good job, now who asked you to make any predictions for him this time?

In response Violet whispered without changing her uncomfortable expression:

-Forget that, Kippei. I heard what happened. You weren't able to capture Aiba Mui even though I handed her to you on a silver platter.

Hearing that Washizu Kippei-the man in the trench coat-scratched his head and closed his eyes.

-Yes..., I feel ashamed.

However, he did not look like someone who was truly sorry. Violet continued:

-Someone who is defeated by his younger sister is a good-for-nothing....

Then Washizu raised his head and looked at Violet.

-Mmmm... Actually, it wasn't her who actually defeated him.

Violet frowned not knowing what he was referring to, then Washizu immediately replied:

-Tsuganashi was very careless, but no less was to be expected of Twilight....

-Twilight?!

Washizu smiled at Violet's impulsive reaction. That name brought to Violet's mind the memory of a person. It was the face of a woman she thought she had already forgotten. However...

-I remember, it was that sword....

According to Violet, she shouldn't have had to have heard the name of that sword mentioned.

"That sword should be kept in a storage room at the Subaru Academy."

While Violet made a suspicious face, Washizu said:

-It seems that someone capable of using it has appeared. He's interesting, so we won't kill him for now.

-Who is it?

In response to Violet's suspicious voice, Washizu simply dropped his shoulders and said:

-I have no idea...

-Kippei, this is important, so don't beat around the bush.

-I'm serious, Vi. I don't know who it is...

Although Violet pressed him, Washizu simply shook his head slightly and said:

-I have an idea, I don't know who he is, but I might as well explain to you what I could observe.....

At that moment, Washizu looked like a child who had just come up with a prank.

Violet had a bad feeling when he suddenly approached her and for some reason grabbed her arm.

-How about giving me a kiss first? Of course, I mean give it to me with tongue and everything?

However, before Washizu could do anything, Violet took out a package from her pocket, opened it and quickly threw the contents into her mouth.

-Hey, what did you put in your mouth? -Washizu asked.

-It's bitter melon candy....

—…

Washizu was silent while Violet opened her mouth showing him those candies on her tongue.

-So what did you say about a kiss?

Washizu at that moment let go of Violet's hand and shook his head.

-Nothing, forget about it....

For Washizu Kippei who hated bitter, sweet and sour or spicy things, it would have been torture to kiss Violet under those conditions, so he gave up and slumped his shoulders, saying:

-Now that I remember, you are involved in the academy so I thought you already knew about this, didn't you, Violet-sensei?

Violet smiled the moment she heard the academy mentioned.

-That's right. I can find out for myself. I don't need to ask you anything.

It had already been two years since she infiltrated the academy as an English teacher. So, she could very quickly find that student who had become Twilight's new user.

Violet had her cute subordinates in junior high and high school to use for that. They were just waiting for her command. Washizu smiled broadly at how confident Violet was and said:

-It will be fun. Then, when you find out something, tell me about it too.

-If you want to...

Passing Washizu, Violet continued on her way to where she was headed. She walked along the corridor while her head that always remained occupied by her beloved Ryuusenji Kazuma, was gradually filled with other kinds of thoughts.

"I like that I heard. Twilight was a magical sword used during 'The First Great Magical War'. Possessing it will be quite useful. If it stays the same as before, it will be worth using."

With her back to Washizu who was supposed to still be standing there, Violet laughed at him in mockery and thought:

"You're better off as a subordinate like that cold ice man."

Violet thought that Washizu never made much effort to manipulate Tsuganashi who, despite being brainwashed, always looked suspicious. She would not like to have Aiba Tsuganashi as a subordinate at all.

Certainly those with destructive magic capabilities are valuable, but not everything is about fighting directly. Then, Violet came up with a good idea:

"I should approach during the magical attitude test, I'll make him reveal himself and make him mine," Violet thought.

Her face shone vividly with a smile as she planned the way to accomplish her task.
