Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

It was Milno's slap; she slapped me toward my mother.

Then I said, "Mom, if it weren't for the fact that I got lost while taking refuge..."

"That's not your fault, Yao'er."

She pinched my cheek.

“I had a very long dream, and I was always with you and your father… so I wasn’t alone… but when I woke up and saw you all, and saw how you’ve changed over the years, I realized that I was not as happy as I was in my dream.”

"How could this be..."

"Take this. You should know what to do, right?"

She pulled something out from behind her and placed it in my hand.

Something unseen, yet undeniably present and weighty.

"This is……"

The mother broke the spell.

What I hold in my hand is a strange box.

Chapter Sixty: Wind and Flowers, Armament Disarmament

(Sun Yao)

With Warren as a little heater, even if it's freezing cold outside, the elevator won't feel cold. Besides dealing with weirdos, some magic is practical in itself.

The sound of explosions continued from the top of the sky. The fire phosphorus that spread throughout the entire area by Yangyan Amaterasu was impossible to defend against. Even a witch needs to breathe, and the pain of being burned inside her body must be unbearable.

but……

The Sword Witch doesn't seem to feel any pain.

Such a violent explosion only caused obstruction, but could not cause any effective damage.

But why is that?

Even ice-made Western-style armor has gaps; there's no way she wouldn't get hurt. Even if she could cool it down to counteract the heat of the explosion, she couldn't withstand the shockwave...

Yang Yan spread his wings and took off on the blast. Although the Sword Witch had real wings, she did not choose to follow. In order to protect her father behind her, she did not move an inch. She just stood there and swung her ice sword, manipulating invisible blades to attack Yang Yan. However, the essence of these attacks was water vapor, which would be evaporated by the fire scales along the way before hitting Yang Yan.

The two were locked in a stalemate, but the one who was clearly anxious was the Sword Witch. After all, she herself had said that the wormhole on the "other side" was about to close, and then they would have to stay in this world for a while before they could leave.

"Hooray! Got it!"

Tian Suo cried out in surprise.

The magical chain she extended quickly retracted, its end still holding a bent, broken piece several centimeters long.

That was the forehead of my father in his witch form, which was broken off by Miluno's kick.

Tian Suo fiddled with the purple highlights on his forehead and laughed, "Because the whole place was filled with smoke and dust from the explosion, that ice witch didn't notice and got it very easily!"

She threw the broken corner over.

"Hey kid, take this. First, turn your dad back to normal, then send him to jail!"

"Ah! Thank you!"

It looks heavier than it actually is.

If Dad loses the Star Crystal, he won't be able to withstand the all-around pressure inside the wormhole, and the Sword Witch won't be able to take Dad away...

"Put that in."

The mother opened the box.

That was created by Betelgeuse's magic. It was the box that was used to extract my Star Crystal, but at some point it was hidden by my mother's magic and kept by her side.

"Is it really possible to use only horns?"

"This angle isn't just good-looking."

Sirius, gradually recovering from its semi-transparent state, is now hooking its arm around its mother's shoulder.

"Just like your wand, this horn contains most of Aji's magic power. It is the crystallization of the crystal in her body. If one of them is broken, her strength will be greatly reduced. So, since this device can steal the Star Crystal through the wand, it is not impossible to retrieve the Star Crystal by using the broken horn."

Miss Sirius can see the Star Crystal inside magical girls.

Since she said that, she must be right...

Snapped--

"Aww!"

Miluno didn't say anything, but slapped me on the back again.

Aunt Linxi in the earphone urged, "Ayao, stop worrying about it. Xiaoyangyan is fighting the witch all by herself. You don't think she's handling it with ease, do you?"

That's true...

Such frequent explosions also lead to a severe depletion of magic power, and even the current Yangyan cannot continue indefinitely.

Retrieving the Star Crystal might be of some help to me.

Put the broken corner into the box and close the lid.

Without any further action, the texture of the box itself emitted a blue light, the color resembling the halo that forms a wormhole...

The blizzard outside stopped.

However, the Sword Witch broke through Yang Yan's lightning zone and rushed into the elevator, her white hair and red eyes, her angry glare resembling a demon.

"You despicable thieves who steal chickens and dogs all day long! So ungrateful, you may all die here!"

Angry insults.

Sword energy mixed with icy wind.

A box that opens automatically.

And the Star Crystal within it...

"Huh? It's not cold?"

"It's Seruno-chan's protective shield, the time to counterattack has come!"

The cold, which tried to freeze everything, failed to penetrate my protective shield.

The valiant Miss Sirius charged ahead, gathering her remaining strength into a drill of light in her fist and swinging it at the Sword Witch.

The latter retreated back to the zenith, where the blizzard had stopped, but the fiery scales of Yang Yan still lingered...

boom! boom! bobom! !

I detonated a series of fire scales at close range with the Sword Witch, and this close proximity made me understand why she was unharmed.

"Frost...can it really be this hard?"

The Sword Witch's entire body was covered with a honeycomb-structured hexagonal white frost coating, which was very sturdy and even the explosion of Yang Yan could not break through her defenses...

This bulletproof vest was evolved to counter Milno's sniper shots, but unexpectedly it ended up being used as a bomb disposal suit.

However, this kind of thing cannot withstand sharp attacks, which is why it chose to retreat when faced with Sirius's drill.

Having come to this conclusion, I shouted, "Explosions and blunt weapons are no match for her, Miss Miluno, use your sword!"

Despite being exhausted, Milno still accelerated and rushed forward. The Sword Witch was unable to escape Milno's pursuit range and could only raise her sword to block.

Yang Yan also changed his strategy and began to detonate fire scales on her face, not to kill, but to use the smoke to distract her vision.

Faced with this interference and the combined attack of Milno and Sirius, even the Sword Witch found it difficult to cope, especially since she was also worried about her father behind her and couldn't use her full strength...

Perhaps it was somewhat despicable.

But we've never had a fair fight.

"Miss Seruno, please move aside."

Miss Feng Hua's voice was calm; she seemed to be in relatively good condition.

"I'm going to unleash my ultimate attack with all my might."

Her hands rested on the scabbards at her waist, gathering some kind of power, while the twin magical girls stood on either side of her, raising their hands to unleash their magic.

Heating and cooling.

A front will form in the area where cold and warm air masses collide.

When developed to its extreme, it becomes a tornado.

And this new wind will become the power of the wind and flowers...

What is drawn is not a sword, but a compressed storm.

A tornado far exceeding the upper limit of wind force struck the Sword Witch. Even a witch could not withstand it and was instantly swept into the sky. Even the ice armor on her body was torn to shreds by the storm... Eh?

Seeing my surprise, Fuuka explained, "This move can disarm the enemy; it's a deadly technique involving cause and effect."

Simply put, it's about clothes being torn off, right?

"Although it can disarm, it doesn't cause any harm?"

"...The damage is not high."

But it is extremely insulting.

It can cause the enemy to lose their will to fight when they are extremely angry.

The Sword Witch landed with one hand covering her chest and the other hand covering her lower body, kneeling on one knee.

Although she is a witch from "the other side", she also has a sense of shame.

"..."

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Just seconds before, it was a life-or-death battle, but because of the air conditioning team's ultimate move, both sides stopped.

"How dare they humiliate me like this..."

The seemingly flimsy ice dress that appeared on the Sword Witch was clearly a temporary creation. Her dignity as a warrior was humiliated and trampled upon, and her proud and arrogant face was so distorted that she could star in a live-action Yu-Gi-Oh! movie.

"...Ahem, we'll apologize later. Beiluoshimen, we're going to defeat you right here."
