Chapter 355 – Spice's Holiday

I disсoverеd thаt Маnhаttan City wаs, аt least in tеrms of witchеs, inсrеdiblу реacеful.

While being shоwn аround thе stаtе univеrsitу, I deсided tо enjoу а реacеful daу.

“Wait, Kansаs Stаte University and thе Univеrsity of Kansas аrе separate, аnd КU is bigger, but Kushi сamе tо thе stаte university!?”

“She dоesn’t seеm intеrеsted in a flаshу lifеstyle аt all…”

“She’s а girl who prefers а сalmer аtmоsphеre, I seе.”

That’s how shе met Windу аnd became friends—fаte wоrks in mуstеrious wаys.

And sо, I wаlkеd around thе cаmрus.

It hаs а niсe, сlаssiс feеl, dоesn’t it?

It was built around 1880!?

Whoa, it’s so historic~!!

It seems common for people with children to come inside, so Spice’s presence isn’t unnatural at all!

By the way, today he’s wearing his usual apron dress.

Even so, no one recognizes him as Spice, making me deeply sentimental about how far I am from Japan.

“Whoa!? A Little Spice cosplay!? N-no, it’s the real deal!!”

“Huh!?”

I heard Japanese!

When I turned around, there was a Japanese guy.

“Actually, our schools are sister schools, so I came here on an exchange program… I never thought I’d run into Little Spice here…”

“The Meat Brigade is here too!!”

We shook hands for the time being.

After parting ways with them, I wandered around the campus again with Windy.

“By the way, Spice—”

“Yeah?”

“The Little Witch Duo with me as Windy actually has fans here too! If we go somewhere with a lot of young people, it’ll be chaos, you know?”

“Whoa~”

So it was just a coincidence that it was a time with more older people around!!

Right as lunchtime hit, young people poured out onto the campus.

“See, Spice? Transform, transform!”

“Whoa—Metamorphose!”

I hurriedly changed into my school uniform!

Well, wearing a Japanese school uniform at an American university is also pretty noticeable!

Before I knew it, I was swarmed by the wave of students rushing over.

Ugh, I couldn’t fool them~!!

“How did the Little Witch Duo become popular here…?”

“Hmm, let’s see. First, Magical Girl Windy is a community-focused magical girl active in Manhattan City.”

“Wait, really!?”

“I transform as a hobby and help people out. Thanks to that, Manhattan City’s public safety is pretty good. Wind and ice magic are stronger than guns, after all.”

“No kidding!”

With Modern Magic, unless you’re an exceptionally skilled user, real guns are more powerful and easier to handle.

But the ancient magic that Spice and the others use produces effects that are extremely difficult to replicate with modern tools.

For example, Ignite can create flames reaching thousands of degrees in an instant, without spreading to the surroundings or leaving any scorch marks.

The water Marinna controls can crawl from low places to high altitudes, or precisely short-circuit or destroy only electronic functions.

Right now, Spice is evading the students and watching American football practice at the stadium—this might be the most relaxing spot.

Chatting idly here, strolling outside once things calmed down, having a hot sandwich and coffee at a shop, then returning to Windy’s place…

I spent a day doing absolutely nothing.

Ah, so relaxing…

Wait, no!

I came to America to investigate, so I should head back soon, right?

Spice snaps back to reality.

Mashiro and the babies are waiting for me at home!

“Well then! Spice is heading back to see the babies! I’ll pick up Bel-chan on the way!”

“Got it! See you later, Spice! See you later, Snow White~!”

‘Windy, take care of yourself! Don’t sleep with your belly exposed!’

She sounds like a mom.

And so, Spice set off for California.

“Mecha Hazuki~! I’m counting on your support! We’re going at incredible speed! I’m assuming she’ll spot us, after all~!”

‘Understood.’

As expected, the American mainland is vast.

With communication over the network, there’s a slight time lag in the responses.

“Alright, Floppy, prepare the map! Flota, we’re going at ultra-high speed!! Mentaris, keep watch around us! Powered, handle the Mana Supply!!”

‘Understood.’

‘Leave it to me!!’

‘I’ll max out my Mana Perception, yessir~!’

‘Alright!! I’m going all out, no holding back!!’

As Windy saw him off, Spice lifted off!

Waving his hand…

“See you later!”

“See you!”

The moment Spice’s outline blurred—

Ultra-acceleration!!

By perfectly controlling Flight, enhancing it with Powered, and combining it with Floppy’s mapping and guidance…

Spice was born—flying at ultra-high speed in complete silence while zigzagging past obstacles!

I practiced this in the Otherworld.

By the way, his current speed easily exceeds the speed of sound, so Annette detects him immediately.

‘Master! Multiple witch signals! Three of Annette’s Clones!’

“Okay!! Reinforcements will arrive here soon too!!”

Ultra-high-speed flight overlooking America’s vast, open land!

The Clones of Annette trying to keep up are pretty messed up too.

But they don’t have the same pressure as the main body.

So, I’ll leave it to the gray flying object coming from ahead!

‘I have arrived.’

Mecha Hazuki announces as she passes by Spice.

And shortly after, a black flying object arrives as well.

It’s Dark Child, with Bel-chan riding on its back.

‘Three Clones at once—how extravagant. Spice, it seems you’re quite the target for her.’

“Yeah, that’s how it is~. Ah, Bel-chan, thanks for helping out too~!”

‘Well, I am the Demon King, after all.’

Here, Spice also turns around to face the three Clones!

Once this is over, I’m heading back to Japan~!
