Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

"Does someone like you even deserve to transform into a magical girl?"

"I……"

Before he could finish speaking, a finger touched his forehead.

The cold touch was completely different from that of the real Shion-sensei.

The witch Shion revealed a cold smile, "He hates people like you who are indecisive the most. You should be grateful that you are his sister to be able to stay by his side."

Before the words were finished, a loud "boom" was heard.

Coco shot out like a cannonball and plunged headlong into the dark fog!

The sonic boom roared, and the black mist surged until it crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater.

Amidst the billowing dust and the sounds of bricks crumbling and wooden beams breaking, she realized she had stumbled into the ancient courtyard behind her.

Then the entire courtyard collapsed with a roar!

Coco got up, clenched her fists tightly, and looked around, panting heavily.

The shockwave dispersed some of the black mist, revealing that the place was empty.

It was as if she was the only one left in the whole world.

Without a second thought, Coco, ignoring the excruciating pain in her body, lunged to the side!

The next instant, a terrifying magical spear pierced through the spot where she had just been standing!

The spearhead pierced the ground, causing the magic to vibrate wildly and erratically.

Boom!

The spear exploded, and the shockwave sent the ruins flying.

Coco was swept up by the blast wave, thrown out of the ruins, and fell heavily into the river outside.

The icy river water poured into my mouth and nose, went straight into my heart and lungs, and pierced my bone marrow.

Coco clenched her fists.

Every bone in my body was groaning, and every muscle was in excruciating pain.

The river water was icy cold.

"Just die quietly like this."

The witch's nonchalant voice came from above, flowing along the rippling river and into her ears and mind.

Jiang Si doesn't need a younger sister.

unnecessary……

unnecessary……?

Words are like torches, igniting something.

The flames rose before the miracle!

As a result, the river water began to boil.

It is an anger that burns hotter than flames!

From where Coco fell, the water surged like boiling river water, and then, crimson magic erupted from the riverbed like magma!

The intense light tore through the darkness on the water's surface, steam exploded, and a deafening roar shook the heavens!

The witch Shion raised an eyebrow, reached out to stop the oncoming crimson magic, and then looked down.

The dry riverbed was clearly visible through the rising white mist, and a huge cavity was exposed in the center of the entire riverbed!

The surrounding river water continuously flows back into the area, and then evaporates into a large amount of water vapor.

In the middle of the dry riverbed, the red figure slowly stood up.

He was panting heavily, his body completely dry except for strands of hair clinging to his cheeks.

He looked disheveled and weak.

Only those eyes shone with an inextinguishable flame!

Able to forcibly transform within the Ruins...

The witch Shion's gaze grew increasingly cold.

However, the magical girl who had forcibly transformed began talking to herself, as if she didn't even notice her:

"I was really hesitant because my brother is my only family."

“I don’t want to lose my brother. Without him, I’ll be a lonely orphan, and I won’t be able to handle all those relatives…”

I'm afraid of being abandoned by my brother, afraid that he won't need me anymore.

"But you're right, the people my brother killed also had their own families and loved ones. I can't save them, and I can't ignore them either."

"...I think my brother must have had a reason, because I am his sister, we are family, and I believe my brother wouldn't do such a thing without a reason."

It's been repeated over and over again, but even belief needs a reason.

Blindly believing without reason and ignoring the victims only makes one appear foolish and hateful.

A wave of heat emanated from her, and the air began to distort.

“I don’t want to misunderstand my brother anymore, so I’m going to look for evidence and reasons. If I can’t find any, I should be prepared.”

Even if you trust and love your older brother, you must respect the facts.

"For the happiness and future lost by those who have died—"

The blazing flames roared and engulfed the witch Shion in an instant.

However, it quickly went out.

The witch Shion reached out and pressed down.

Coco raised her wand, and instantly half of her body was pressed down to the exposed riverbed!

Around the larger water cave that appeared centered on her, flames surged and mingled with the surrounding river water, creating violent explosions. She frantically poured magic into it, and finally managed to free Coco from the witch Shion's grasp.

The continuous firelight still illuminated her face, and her eyes reflected an unwavering determination!

"I will be buried with my brother."

As atonement.

Family members should be together.

Even if we die together.

I won't be scared as long as my brother is around.

This is the best solution that even an idiot could possibly think of.

I will not let anyone down, nor will I hurt anyone.

"So, I can't die here. I have to find the truth!"

She gripped her wand tightly, and crimson magic transformed into eight fiery tails behind her, tearing through the black mist in front of her!

As the wand spun, eight kinds of magic surged from the void, gathering, rotating, and compressing in her palm. A fiery lotus bloomed in the heat, its petals layered upon each other, each burning with a different color.

She drew back the bowstring, and the fiery lotus transformed into a burning arrow between her fingers.

The bow trembled, and the arrowhead locked onto the witch in the sky.

"Whether it's for the dead or for my brother, I must defeat you!"

Before the words were even finished, a heat wave swept across the area like a tsunami, the river beneath their feet evaporated instantly, and invisible water vapor shot into the sky, rolling in and almost dispersing the black mist of the entire Chongxu!

The bow is drawn as full as a slender moon, its energy soaring high!

The radiance of eight-colored magic gathered at the tip of the arrow, and an endless aura of destruction was about to shatter everything and ignite the Ruins!

【Rusei Ichijo】! !

However, just as she was about to release the bowstring—

The witch Shion had already stepped in front of her.

So close, his smile, carrying the fragrance of his breath, pierced through the heat and landed on her cheek.

"Then why can't you die for Jiang Si? If you truly love him, wouldn't it be better for you to atone for his sins alone and let your brother live freely? Isn't that what a sister should do?"

Her fingers slowly closed, grasping the eight-lotus arrow that was about to burst forth.

"If it were me, I could do it."

He clenched his fingers tightly, and a huge explosion shot into the sky!

The eight-colored flames, like ancient ferocious beasts breaking free of their cages, rolled, roared, and rushed towards the sky!

The intense light, as bright as day, completely illuminated the ruins shrouded in black mist.

Layer upon layer of dome was pierced, and the dilapidated ruins above fell through the broken sky, rubble, debris, and broken beams, but they melted silently the moment they touched the flames!

It was as if even the world itself trembled before her power.

The witch Shion stood at the center of the explosion, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

Half of the demonic armor was torn apart by the shockwave, revealing the dark outline beneath.

"You can become a magical girl not because you are stronger, nor because you have any wonderful qualities."

"It's just because you're lucky, isn't it? As Jiang Si's sister, anyone could become a magical girl."

But her voice remained calm, a calmness that was despairing.

"When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven—a detestable theory of bloodline."

Grabbing Coco by the neck as she fell, the witch Shion tilted her head slightly. "However, what isn't yours will never be yours. Can you repeat those words to them again, so shamelessly?"

She snapped her fingers.

The turmoil trembled violently at that moment.

Centered on the two people, the earth rose up, bricks and stones were automatically stacked, and a huge stage rose from the ground.

[The Stage of Destiny for Anchored Observation]!
