Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

But by the time I understood the meaning of those words while speeding up, it was too late.

I.

Disappeared.

Chapter Forty-Nine: The Veil of the Hidden Moon

(Albinocotyledon)

I disappeared.

But it didn't completely disappear.

Although my five senses, including sight and hearing, are still there, I can no longer see my body, and not only that, I can't see any other objects either.

When you enter Seruno's mother's magical range, everything becomes invisible?

There might be a trap ahead of me, or it could be Sirius, or even the mermaid witch who should be locked in a cage.

This seemingly empty cell felt dangerous to me, yet I couldn't just pull out a watermelon knife and start hacking around.

I dare not make a sound, because if the other party locates me, I might be attacked.

Even more deadly is...

I don't know if others are like me, unable to see anything, or even if they are still in this space.

However, inaction is not an option either.

Since everything I see is unreliable, I simply closed my eyes and tried to explore with my hands, reconstructing my understanding in my mind.

Thinking about it this way, Fuuka is more suited to handle the current situation. She's a swordswoman who can deflect bullets with her eyes closed. I don't know if that's her magic or some other trick...

"Ok?"

I touched someone's shoulder, and judging from the width of the shoulder blade, it couldn't possibly be Seruno's father.

She's shorter than me, so she couldn't possibly be Secretary-General Anjie.

I touched her neck again, and the touch was icy cold. Could it be that man in black robes?

No, these scales are rough to the touch, like shark skin...

Realizing I had touched something, I instinctively pulled my hand away, and then I heard a click—the sound of teeth clashing together.

Obviously, I almost had my hand bitten off by the Mermaid Witch.

Not to mention those sharp serrated teeth, this thing can also drain my bodily fluids and cause my blood to flow backwards. Her magic is quite dangerous, and I shouldn't make contact with her rashly.

However, the fact that the Mermaid Witch is still in the cell means that Serino's father and the others have not yet achieved their goal. Although they have been released from the cage, Serino's mother has made everyone transparent in order to deal with Sirius who broke in.

should be.

Since they didn't open the portal to escape immediately, it means that even they themselves couldn't figure out their location.

Just as I was thinking this, someone grabbed my arm.

She was a woman shorter than me, but with hands that were somewhat normal human-sized... not Sirius... I didn't smell that intoxicating perfume.

Is it the man in black robes this time?

I reached out my other hand to check her clothes, but she grabbed my wrist—it seemed like she could see my movements.

"..."

Then, she grabbed my hand and started writing in my palm.

beat.

……

faint.

……

I.

...?

A strange request, could she possibly be...?

Although I felt apologetic, I had no time to hesitate. Understanding her intentions, I reached out and struck her neck with a horizontal slash. However, a blow to the brainstem can easily cause unconsciousness and is more likely to be fatal, so I dared not use too much force.

If she really intends to cooperate, all she needs to do is pretend to be knocked unconscious.

The girl in his arms collapsed limply, and this became their vow.

The magic that had enveloped the entire cell and made everything invisible was also dispelled.

"!"

The cell wasn't very big. Secretary-General Anjie was just a few meters in front of me, looking completely bewildered, probably unable to comprehend the situation.

Several blood-red threads were wrapped around her fingertips, one of which was tied to the wrist of Seruno's mother... Aunt Yuehan.

The man in the black robe and Chairman Sun also had the same red thread on their wrists.

This is for positioning.

The four of them used this method to confirm each other's positions while completely invisible, but she didn't expect that I would be the first to deal with the "array eye". As the only person who could see everything clearly within the range of the invisibility magic, Aunt Yuehan should not have been caught by me so easily.

However, she brought it up herself.

Ange's bloodline magic was incredibly fast, but her own reaction was still too slow. At least in my opinion, she was as slow as a sloth in a zoo. In the instant she manipulated the bloodline to launch an attack on me, my fist had already slammed into her soft belly.

"Goo-"

The expression of someone who had been hit hard in the abdomen was not pleasant, and saliva or throat fluid was spitting out of their mouth.

She crashed against the wall, curled up on the ground, and couldn't even make a sound. Although she didn't lose consciousness immediately, she couldn't stand up for a while.

Artificial magical girl?

It's still too weak.

Although I don't want to attack women, this crazy woman is really hard to like. If we can deal with her here, Sirius and I will only have the Mermaid Witch, the man in black robes, and the reinforcements who haven't come out of the wormhole yet.

The twin magical girls will arrive soon, and there are other magical girls waiting downstairs, not to mention the magical girls who were already recuperating at the treatment facility.

The situation is in our favor.

The custom-designed cell is dry, so the Mermaid Witch can't exert her power here. Although direct contact would drain her dry, I'm confident I can take care of her before that happens.

The man in black robes is the final uncertain factor.

"Aji... I have nothing to say to you right now."

Sirius, filled with emotion, fired several materialized laser beams, binding Seruno's parents and Ange like dumplings, before looking at the still mysterious man in black robes.

"You're really calm. You don't actually think you can handle the two of us, do you?"

A hand reached out from beneath the black robe.

He was holding a pistol.

bang bang bang-

She fired a magazine at me and Sirius. Such a direct attack was obviously ineffective, but in the instant we dodged or parried the bullets, she vanished from our sight.

"The hunter's clone... is Betelgeuse!"

Beneath the black robe lay a gaze as fierce as a ravenous dog.

"...Invisibility? No, where did she go?"

This is the first time Sirius has faced off against the Hunter Witch.

"This clone was created from her magical 'arsenal'! She can move at will as long as she dispels the magic—tsk!"

clang!

Perhaps annoyed by my explanation, she suddenly appeared in front of me in a very low posture and brandished a dagger to attack my lower body. Fortunately, I was standing on solid horseshoes, and I stepped on her dagger.

However, the hunter's fighting style meant that she wouldn't care about a small defeat. If she missed her first attack, she would wait for the next opportunity. Even if her magical clone was destroyed, it wouldn't matter to her.

But I didn't expect that even this offensive was just a feint.

"Aha!"

Her figure appeared behind the Mermaid Witch.

Immediately afterwards, the black blade pierced through the latter's chest.

"...Ha...why...?"

The Mermaid Witch's eyes were filled with astonishment, anger, and resentment. She died without understanding why she had been betrayed by her "comrade."

I had a vague idea that this was possible, but I never expected it to actually happen...

The Hunter Witch's primary objective upon her first appearance was flow.

It is a rebellious wolf.

The duty of the hunter witch is to purge those who break the law.

Chapter Fifty: Son of the Sun

(Sun Yao)

Despite reporting the discovery in her father's office, she was relegated to guarding the water dispenser in the break room.

In the end, both Miss Spica and Miss Sirius opposed my participation in the operation to arrest my father, even though I had already made my determination clear to them.

"It's too cruel to make children fight against their own parents. You have to understand Director Spica's feelings; she rarely shows any humanity."

Miss Lulu sat down beside me to comfort me.

As a liaison, she had been running errands for Spica for the past two days. It wasn't until Sirius led several recruited magical girls out that she had a chance to come and rest at my place. Right now, she was taking off her shoes and massaging her sore calves while drinking a can of iced coffee from a vending machine. Her rough behavior was a bit of a disaster, making her look like an office lady coming home from get off work. However, she didn't mind me seeing this side of her, which gave me a strange sense of familiarity.

If I had an older sister, I would want her to be like Miss Lu'er, but unfortunately she is already Miss Yin Wei's older sister.

Sometimes I wonder, do these two people really only have one liaison officer in this branch?

I sighed, "I'm not a child anymore, of course I understand her intentions..."
