Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"Serno is upstairs too."

"That idiot..."

Before the smoke had completely dissipated, Sirius hugged me from behind, and the photon propulsion on her back started working at full speed, carrying me out of the fire escape window.

Price surge.

"there!"

On the top-floor helipad, Seruno was bound by crimson lines of blood. Although she was protected from injury by a protective membrane, she was unable to move.

Even so, she shouted something at her father, but the man just stood behind Betelgeuse and Secretary-General Anjie, holding his wife and unmoved.

It's infuriating to look at.

That idiot has been blaming himself for this kind of person for so many years?

Sirius, let me go.

"Now?"

"I'm fine."

"I believe you."

Sirius generously released me, and a feeling of weightlessness crept over me, but...

Time-freeze!

Thirty...forty times!!

Kick!

Adjust your posture.

Gravity accelerates.

I don't know how much power my evolved body can withstand. This kick might break my bones, but with Betelgeuse's reaction speed, I definitely wouldn't be able to dodge it, and probably wouldn't even be able to disintegrate my body.

If they can kill him, Ange will be no match for Sirius.

The robot's head, made of hard, inorganic material, deflated halfway like a flattened soda can, followed by an explosion of electrical sparks and an unidentified blue fluorescent liquid...

The momentum of the flying kick came to a halt.

…………

……

This level of damage is not enough for the robot.

I turned the hourglass.

—Rewind!—

Kinetic energy reversal!!

mahou-shoujo

wkick!!

My right leg was a little numb, so I switched to my left leg and continued kicking at the Betelgeuse doll.

When she fell to the ground, all that remained beneath my feet was a pile of scrap metal.

"call--"

As time returned to normal, Ange finally came to her senses, but when she saw the remains of Betelgeuse, an unconcealable fear appeared on her face.

She has very poor mental fortitude.

But my situation is actually quite bad; after all, my clone is a lump of iron, very hard.

I can't walk a single step with either leg. If I lift either leg, I will fall to my knees with a thud.

That won't do; my authority won't allow me to do that.

Fortunately, there was Sirius. She jumped down and looked at Secretary Ange. Although the latter was afraid, it was unlikely that she would be made to surrender in front of Seruno's father.

"It's time to end this."

The blood vessels were burned off by the laser.

Seruno was also freed from this.

“Aji, it’s regrettable that things have come to this... but you’ve lost.”

"..."

The man remained silent.

"How can we draw conclusions about winning or losing until the very end?"

The voice came from behind Seruno, and a humanoid figure materialized from the void.

"...Betelgeuse?!"

Chapter Fifty-Three: What Was Stolen

(Sun Yao)

Even though Milno had already trampled Betelgeuse into recyclable waste, it inexplicably reappeared behind me.

Not only that, she also snatched my wand when I wasn't looking and held a dagger to my neck...

Oh no, I'm a hostage now.

Milno was somewhat wary, and she remained standing there, not daring to make a move. Miss Sirius, on the other hand, was much bolder. A scorching laser beam grazed my ear and blasted onto Betelgeuse's face, also scorching my already curly hair.

Betelgeuse dissipated quickly after being hit, but soon reformed itself behind me, making the entire machine as good as new.

We must eliminate them all at once, otherwise this will happen.

Even if they are eliminated, new individuals will appear, so it's only a temporary solution.

This isn't right.

Although she is a clone, she has never been seen constantly reassembling herself like this before, even when she was on Naboo Island, and she can even create another clone after one is destroyed.

Is this related to the wormholes that have opened up in the sky?

Although no enemies were sent, it directly strengthened her connection with the original "on the other side"?

or……

"Betelgeuse! You've come here too, haven't you? Stop hiding and show yourself!"

Sirius, who was cursing and swearing, suddenly had clear and bright eyes.

A complex expression flickered rhythmically in his pupils, beautiful and dazzling, like a precious gem, yet inspiring awe.

Beneath the beautiful idol's exterior lies the first and largest Star Crystal to arrive on Earth.

Doppelgangers began to appear on a large scale.

Each one was identical to the clone behind me; the Hunter Witch's robot army had taken over the helipad.

"Even if you become a witch, you still can't get rid of this dark and wicked habit?"

Sirius cursed angrily, raised his hand and shot a beam of light from his arm into the sky, followed by a devastating barrage of lasers from the clouds bombarding his clones on the field.

After shining their own light into the sky, it scatters into countless light arrows, which then materialize and fall back down, using gravity acceleration to increase the destructive power of a wide-range attack.

It is not only fast, powerful, and has a wide kill range, but it can even be terminally guided.

"As expected of Miss Sirius! She really was hiding her true strength all along... Wow!"

The robot clone behind me was clearly the focus of attention; it was instantly riddled with light arrows and turned into a honeycomb, which startled me.

However, before she collapsed, she passed my wand to another clone, as if passing a baton.

Knowing that I can't use magic without a wand, are you determined to separate me from my wand?

Despite controlling so many clones simultaneously, Betelgeuse's strength did not diminish much. Each clone skillfully dodged the rain of flashing arrows and manifested a variety of weapons to counter Sirius and Milno. Even if a clone was destroyed by Sirius, Betelgeuse could quickly replenish its troops.

This formation is similar to the overwhelming mechanical arms on Naboo Island, but the fully functional clones are obviously more troublesome than mechanical arms, being agile and flexible, and capable of coordinated attacks.

The most troublesome thing is that we don't know her real location, so we can only face this endless stream of enemies.

By concealing her true location and relying on an endless stream of puppets to wear down her opponents, the witch possesses an astonishing amount of magical power. Even Miss Sirius probably wouldn't be able to outlast her indefinitely...

"We'll help too!"

A chain climbed up the wall from below, and the magical girl in the black jacket rushed up the chain.

First, a chain whip strike sent the clone in front of him flying, then a king-slaying thrust pulled him toward another one...

boom--

A magical girl named Tensaku was kicked off the building by her clone.

But it was blown back by a strong gust of wind.

"Wind and Flower! Thanks!"

"Don't underestimate them; these are not fodder soldiers."

The magical girl in kendo uniform also rushed up the chains.

Faced with numerous clones on the rooftop, she sheathed her katana, closed her eyes, and assumed an iaido stance.

"Secret Sword...arashi!"

Pushing the tsuba with his thumb, what was drawn from the sheath was no longer a sword, but a surging storm.

The invisible wind could even blow away heavy robots, causing them to be burned through by the laser rain in mid-air.

"...So strong."

“If I draw my knife indoors, I can’t guarantee I won’t hurt you.”

She deftly sheathed her sword, her eyes still closed as she spoke.

I asked again, "Miss Fuuka, could you please retrieve my wand? Otherwise, I won't be able to participate in the battle."
