In the dim underground passage, it was pitch black.
A small figure was sprinting ahead, while another figure pursued closely behind.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!"
Purple magic bullets were being intermittently fired, targeting the small figure in front. The small figure struggled desperately, attempting to escape pursuit. However, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t escape the chase. Occasionally, a magic bullet grazed by, leaving bloodstains on its body.
This scene also appeared on Fang Zheng and Shisei’s screens, stread through Little Hei’s personal terminal.
"It seems we’re not the only ones looking for this thing."
Seeing the small, battered white creature frantically running ahead, Fang Zheng sighed, and Shisei nodded in agreent.
"Indeed, looking at it like this, it seems quite pitiful."
As Shisei ntioned, at this mont, the white, peculiar creature on the screen was covered in wounds, its movents not even as agile. However, the pursuer behind it showed no sympathy, firing one magic bullet after another, trying to annihilate it.
"Teacher, that child is the Magical Girl we previously encountered, right?"
Shisei pointed to the screen, where a Magical Girl closely pursued the white creature, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Yes, that’s her... It appears that we’re not the only ones who find sothing odd about the being called QB... But we still don’t know if it really is QB."
At that mont in the footage, the white creature rushed into a ventilation duct, attempting to escape. But not only that...
"Big brother, soone’s coming!"
Through personal terminal searches, Little Hei quickly detected sothing unusual. Soon, a pink-haired girl appeared, looking around as if searching for sothing. This clearly wasn’t just a simple coincidence.
"What should we do now?"
"You go retrieve that white thing; Little Sakura and Illya will co to support you. If any issues arise, create a barrier and head straight up; Nanoha and Fate will be waiting to support you over there. Just rember, given how dangerous that thing is, don’t underestimate it."
Facing the situation, Fang Zheng quickly issued commands.
"Understood!"
anwhile, in the underground passage, Madoka Kana continued looking around, bewildered and unsure.
Just monts ago, she had been enjoying music with friends at a nearby CD store. But suddenly, a voice calling for help had echoed in her mind, luring her into this closed-off area under renovation.
"Is anyone there? Who’s calling for ?"
Cautiously walking through the dim corridor, Madoka Kana called out nervously.
"Crash... Crash..."
Just then, the ceiling overhead abruptly collapsed, and a white, heavily injured creature fell heavily to the ground alongside it.
"Ah———!"
Seeing this white creature fall from the sky, Madoka Kana scread and hurried over, trying to rescue it.
But suddenly, a series of flickering cold lights appeared, and several large sword blades rapidly descended, forming a cage around the white creature.
Soon after, Madoka Kana watched in astonishnt as a girl with long silvery-white hair and tanned skin, dressed in strange clothing, appeared out of nowhere and blocked her path.
"Sorry, big sister, this area is off-limits to unauthorized personnel. We’re conducting a mission; could you kindly leave?"
Little Hei grinned mischievously at the pink-haired girl in front of her, and faced with Little Hei’s sudden appearance, Madoka Kana was clearly taken aback. She instinctively took two steps back, but just then, the white creature let out a few sorrowful cries. Hearing this sound, the pink-haired girl paused once again.
"But, um... That child is severely hurt; shouldn’t we help it? At least, we should, we should let it..."
Speaking, the pink-haired girl tried to bypass Little Hei to assist the white creature. However, as she moved, Little Hei swiftly swung her right hand, and in the next mont, a sharp blade rested against the pink-haired girl’s throat, halting her actions.
"Big sister, this isn’t sothing you should ddle with. You’re just an ordinary person. If I were to advise you, it would be best for you to leave here imdiately."
"Uh... ah..."
Staring at the silver-haired girl before her, feeling the cold blade against her neck, Madoka Kana inhaled sharply. At that instant, her human instinct for survival prevailed, and under Little Hei’s threat, Madoka Kana finally started to retreat slowly.
"Good."
Seeing that Madoka Kana followed instructions, Little Hei smiled playfully and then lowered her dagger.
"Now then..."
"Clang!"
However, before Little Hei could finish her sentence, accompanied by the sound of chains, another figure leapt down from above. Seeing this figure, Madoka Kana’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Homura!!"
Indeed, appearing before Madoka Kana was none other than Akemi Homura, the transfer student who had just arrived in her class today. However, now Akemi Homura wore peculiar clothing, coldly staring at Madoka Kana without saying a word.
"Ah, it’s you, the black-haired big sister."
At this mont, Little Hei also noticed Akemi Homura, cheerfully greeting her. However, Akemi Homura looked at Little Hei, frowning slightly.
"It’s you..."
"That’s right, it’s . Are you also here to find this thing, Big Sister? It’s called... QB, right?"
"Yes."
"That’s good."
Hearing Akemi Homura’s response, Little Hei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our big brother is looking for it to ask sothing, I was thinking how troubleso it would be if we found the wrong one, but luckily, it seems we got it right. So..."
As she spoke, Little Hei walked to the side of the Sword Cage, reached out, and grabbed QB, shaking it in front of Akemi Homura.
"I’m taking this, okay?"
"Whatever."
"Wait, wait!!"
Seeing this scene, Madoka Kana instantly scread out again.
"That child... what are you going to do to it? It asked to save it, I..."
"I say, Big Sister, don’t jump to conclusions. I’m not a bad person."
Seeing Madoka Kana’s tearful appearance, Little Hei rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Just because sothing looks pitiful doesn’t an it’s a good person. Criminals being chased by the police are even more miserable than this. Do you think criminals are good people too... So this... I’ll be taking it?"
After saying this, Little Hei grabbed QB again, shaking it in front of Akemi Homura. The latter just nodded slightly without saying anything.
However, at this mont, suddenly, a voice rang out.
"That won’t do."
Accompanied by this voice, several ribbons suddenly appeared on the ground, jumping up as if they had a life of their own, tightly binding Little Hei and Akemi Homura. Then, a girl with golden curls ca over. Although she wore a smile, her tone revealed uncontrollable anger.
"That child is my friend. Can you please give it back to ?"
"Wow, another one, what a bother... ah!"
However, just as Little Hei was about to say sothing, the QB, which she had been holding in her arms, suddenly took the opportunity to leap away, escaping from Little Hei’s hands and quickly running towards Madoka Kana and the golden-haired girl.
"Ah———!"
Seeing the white creature running towards her, Madoka Kana hurriedly crouched down, reaching out to pick it up.
However, at that mont...
"Wind, please transform into binding chains———WINDY!"
A howling gale arose from the flat ground, transforming into a translucent barrier in the next mont, enveloping QB within it. Then, Little Sakura swiftly charged from the other side of the passage, landing next to Little Hei. At the sa ti, her controlled "Wind Card" steadily pulled QB back.
"Little Hei, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, just a little surprised."
Exchanging a joke with Little Sakura, Little Hei once again looked at the golden-haired girl in front of her.
"It looks like you don’t intend to let us take QB, Big Sister."
"Of course not."
At this mont, the golden-haired girl also raised her right hand, and as she did so, several firearms floated behind her.
"This child is my treasured friend. I advise you to let it go, or else I won’t be polite."
"Ah, um, I..."
"Little Sakura, leave QB to you!"
But just at this mont, Little Hei suddenly interrupted Little Sakura, and then several flashes of blade light appeared. In the next mont, the ribbons that had bound Little Hei were instantly torn apart and cut open. Little Hei reached out, and soon, two daggers, one black and one white, appeared in her hands.
"I’ll take care of this Big Sister. I heard Nanoha fought with the magical girls of this world before, and I’m a bit itchy to try too. I’ll handle this curly-haired sister!"
"Ah... okay, then I’ll leave it to you..."
Hearing this, Little Sakura nodded, obediently controlling the Wind Card to bind QB and stepping to the side. Little Hei then grinned, giving a slight smile to the golden-haired girl.
"Co on, Big Sister, show what you’ve got, try taking soone from my hands!"
At this point, Little Hei’s eyes squinted slightly, and then she muttered an almost inaudible spell text softly.
"I’m the bone of my sword..."
