Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Remnant Beasts, as a type of monster that existed well before the material realm's human civilization, no one can say for sure when they were born.

The most widely known theory is that all Remnant Beasts' lives and powers actually come from the same source, a powerful entity that left behind neither name nor image. However, in the existent research on the magic side, there isn't any evidence to support this theory.

But belief doesn't require evidence, and there have never been a shortage of people who believe this claim. The "Master" mentioned by Black Ash Dawn actually refers to this unknown entity.

They call it the "Beast Lord."

"The great beast calamity nineteen years ago, while bringing a disaster to the material realm, left behind a wealth of valuable treasures for the study of Remnant Beasts' power."

The voice of the Remnant Beasts, filled with a hint of amusement, clearly penetrated the consciousness of every Magical Girl present, "A great number of Remnant Beast remains that have not been stripped of their Echoes, a great number of lives damaged by the Beast's Magic Power, and a great number of data from battles. These were unattainable by Black Ash Dawn in times of peace, but during the great beast calamity, they were easily within reach."

"After that, we extracted a rare Crystal Stone from a very special part of some Remnant Beasts. Surprisingly, every Remnant Beast that had these Crystal Stones embedded in its body showed more or less phenomenon of Magic Power enrichment."

"Their body structures were more robust; their unique organs were further developed; even the evolution of intelligence was extraordinary."

"We conducted a detailed study on this Crystal Stone and eventually found that it has the function of devouring a large amount of Magic Power and purifying it, before nourishing it back out as some sort of special energy. This special energy could greatly promote the evolution of Remnant Beasts, raising the upper limit of their evolution."

"However, the stock of this Crystal Stone was far too scarce. We dissected all the Remnant Beast remains we found from the calamity, yet we only obtained a sparse few. And the amount of Magic Power it required was too immense, the mere Magic Power could not at all support its consumption. Our experiments progressed extremely slowly."

"For the first experiment, it took us more than ten years to create a fully evolved exuviation stage Remnant Beast. But the good times didn't last; the Remnant Beast's body collapsed at the end of its evolution, turning into a pool of Magic Power-infused flesh."

"The second experiment started two years later than the first one, took even longer, but the outcome didn't differ; it collapsed."

"After two more failures, I ruled out various possible inducements and realized that it wasn't our approach that was wrong, but the 'food' was not suitable."

"We created a large number of meat pigs to feed the Remnant Beasts, but mere meat pigs were not enough. Just like humans can develop various problems if they are picky with food, Remnant Beasts also need a 'balanced diet'."

"Fairy's Magic Power, Magical Girl's Magic Power, Beast's Magic Power, all are indispensable."

"To prove this conclusion, two years ago, I made a decision in our latest breeding round: I took a portion of Magic Power from some Floral Card Magical Girls and fed it to our Remnant Beast. Then, a variance emerged: its growth rate far exceeded that of previous experiments, and it even showed a considerable degree of intellectual evolution."

"I knew, my experiment had succeeded."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The giant moth slowly flapped its wings, gazing at the blue-haired girl lying on the ground, "So I need to thank your teammate, Cornflower. It was Sakura's death that provided me with a sufficient amount of Floral Card Magic Power, giving me a glimpse of the possibility of success."

Emerald Sparrow did not speak.

Because she truly was injured.

Stripped of her magical outfit by the Remnant Beast, she then suffered a solid strike to her body.

Indeed, a Magical Girl's body is made up of Magic Power and doesn't have biological organs in the traditional sense, but the damage from the magical outfit is not to the Magical Girl's body, but to a deeper layer: the soul.

Her soul was nearly severed in half, and the pain of such a cleave was enough to cause a typical Magical Girl to lose control of her body.

At this very moment, Emerald Sparrow lay on the ground looking up at the giant moth in the sky with an expressionless face, quietly listening to the other party's proud and complacent statement.

"...You seem to lack an audience." Explore new worlds at empire

Yet even with such an injury, her voice betrayed no pain – as calm as ever, "I'm not interested in your story of enduring hardship and persevering for many years."

"Is that so?"

Mosi's voice carried a hint of surprise, "I thought you would be at least a little moved by your old teammate's death."

"If all you wanted was to anger me, then you've already achieved your goal long ago,"

Emerald Sparrow's voice remained steady, "But if you're trying to tell me 'you killed Sakura' to shake my resolve, then all I can answer you is, impossible."

"Oh? I deliberately preserved the altar until now, you should have sensed Sakura's Magic Power from the ritual earlier, doesn't that convince you?"

"So what?"

Emerald Sparrow did not avert her eyes, but no one knew what she was truly thinking beneath her calm exterior, "Sakura is dead, her Heart's Gem has vanished, I have long been aware of this fact. Your actions merely clarify to me that her death is indeed inextricably linked to you."

"You have no understanding of what the 'strongest Floral Card' truly means, nor do you grasp what she was capable of. Sakura had overcome countless enemies deemed invincible, time and again, to reach that position."
