Chihaya Aine will not fall into the Shura field, never!

Hearing Su Shi say that, You Li pouted unhappily.

"Then come and play with me!"

"Sorry, Yu Li, I've been busy with some things lately."

They're busy reviving CRYCHIC, so Lixi's safety must be guaranteed.

"That's true, since you've already gone to the stock exchange."

"Has Yuli received any news? Why has the exchange become like this?"

"Well, according to my dad, it seems to be because of the newly appointed director of the exchange. I heard that he was being chased by Ave Mujica or something when he was in Tokyo, and he fled back to the exchange."

This has led him to be extremely afraid of those who are hunting him down, which is why he's caused this mess.

Good grief, now Aine understands why the person who informed her knew Lixi was in trouble. It turns out you guys were the cause of all this trouble!

"So that's it."

Su Shi nodded.

"You Li, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Is that why you're going to the stock exchange now?"

"Yes, a friend of mine has gotten involved. Since there's no bounty on her now, we suspect she's been arrested. Can you find out her location?"

"Well, Grandpa Sebastian."

"Young Miss, I'm here."

The butler standing to one side bowed.

“You are more familiar with the current situation of the exchange, so you can take my friend there.”

"Understood, Miss."

"Thank you, Yu Li."

Su Shi stood up and thanked You Li. Ai Yin and Xiao Deng also hurriedly stood up to thank him.

"It's okay. If you really want to thank me, remember to come visit me in Narumi City sometime. And remember to bring your friends along so I can meet them too."

I've made some new friends here, let's have a party together!

(PS: When talking about magical girls, we can't forget Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, which was my gateway to magical girls! I would like to include it.)

If it weren't for Gen Urobuchi's works, my impression of magical girls would still be so wonderful, QAQ.

Later on, perhaps characters like those from Puella Magi Madoka Magica will be added as well.

"it is good."

Su Shi nodded slightly.

After finishing his conversation with Youli, Sebastian bowed respectfully to Su Shi.

"Miss Su Shi and your friend, please come with me."

Following Sebastian, the group arrived at the manor's underground area.

"here it is?"

"Given Miss Su Shi's current situation, you and the others cannot reach the director's residence by ordinary means; you can only get there through this hidden passage."

As Sebastian answered, he entered the password, iris scan, and fingerprint verification on the combination lock on the wall.

"Aine asked, puzzled."

"The station chief's residence?"

“That’s right. Recently, the outsiders have not been taken to the police station, but to the station chief’s residence. Therefore, I think Miss Su Shi’s friend should have been taken there as well.”

At that moment, the underground door was opened.

"Ladies, please follow me. Although I have deactivated the mechanisms in the passage, please do not touch anything on the walls to avoid reactivating them."

Walking through the passage, Ai Yin took a few steps forward and carefully tugged at Su Shi.

"what happened?"

"Is this really okay? Building a passage to the director's residence without authorization."

Ai Yin asked cautiously. She could guess that the so-called director must be the most powerful person here. As a member of this place, how could she have a secret passage leading directly to the director's residence? Was there really no problem?

"Please rest assured, Ms. Chihaya."

Even though Aine's voice was very soft, Sebastian, who was walking at the front, still heard it.

"This exchange was established with the financial support of the Hua Cheng family, so it's not surprising that the Hua Cheng family has some privileges that even the director doesn't know about."

For example, this secret passage that could take the director's life at any time is one of them.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Aine still felt a shiver run through her body.

The family that Su Shi's friend belongs to is truly terrifying!

They walked through the dark passage for a full hour. Su Shi, Ai Yin, and Xiao Deng strictly followed Sebastian's instructions and did not touch anything around them.

"Here we are."

Sebastian stood facing a dead end and turned around.

“Go up from here and you’ll reach the station chief’s residence.”

He pointed upwards, where there was an exit, clearly indicating that one should fly directly up there.

"However, please note that once you leave here, you will inevitably be discovered by the director. Therefore, please be careful, Miss Su Shi and your friends."

"Ah."

Upon hearing Sebastian's words, the three nodded and then activated their magical devices.

"Then, please hold me tight."

"Hey, is Grandpa Butler coming with us too?"

Su Shi looked at Sebastian in surprise.

"Of course, the young lady asked me to bring Miss Su Shi and you here so that I could lend you a hand."

After saying that, Sebastian took off, followed closely by Su Shi, Xiao Deng, and Aine.

Bidu Bidu

The moment they arrived at the director's residence, an alarm sounded inside.

Aine immediately noticed that dozens of powerful mages were rushing towards them.

"Going in this direction leads to the prison director's quarters, where some prisoners who are about to be interrogated are being held. I suppose Miss Su Shi's friends should be there. You go ahead first, and let me, the young people, stay here and stretch my muscles."

"that

"Thank you for your help, Grandpa Butler."

Without saying a word, Su Shi flew in the direction Sebastian pointed.

"Um, Su Shi, is it really okay to leave Grandpa Butler here alone?"

Aine couldn't help but worry.

"Grandpa Butler doesn't need you to worry about him, Chihaya-kun."

Rumble

As Su Shi finished speaking, a deafening sound came from behind. Ai Yin glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and saw a golden ancient dragon from the East coiled and lying around Sebastian.

"No, what is that?"

Aine's mouth dropped open instantly.

"When he was young, Grandpa Butler traveled to that mysterious and ancient Eastern country. Let alone these few mages, even a hundred more wouldn't be enough for Grandpa Butler to fight alone."

Got it, he's ruthless!

Now, Aine was no longer worried about Sebastian. Following behind Su Shi, the three of them flew into the Director's mansion together.

Meanwhile, deep within the mansion, in the director's office.

"No way, someone else is coming?"

A young man with short, blue hair leaned against the window, listening to the commotion outside.

"Could it be that it's not one of the five from Ave Mujica? Doctor, you've offended quite a few people."

"That's none of your business."

The professor was browsing his computer at his desk.

"I might need to trouble you again in the future, Yuto Sakai."

"Hey, although I didn't take this on voluntarily, I really wanted to fight Ave Mujica, so to be honest, I was secretly looking forward to the outcome of this request. But instead, a magical girl came along, and I'm being asked to fight a magical girl who hasn't even graduated yet and is still in her infancy. Doctor, do you understand what kind of image you have in my mind right now?"

"So, are you going to break the contract?"

The doctor looked at Yuto Sakai and revealed a sinister smile.

"I don't really care, but are you sure you want to break the contract at this time? If I remember correctly, the Seven Stars Shining National Cup starts in a month. As the number one dribbler of the top professional team, Angle, are you really okay with encountering the problem of magic backlash at this time?"

"cut."

Yuto Sakai clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Doctor, you'd better pray that the reason you're being hunted down isn't because you've broken the law."

After saying this, Yuto Sakai got up and left the office.

"Otherwise, I'll settle all the old and new scores together."

The office door closed, and the doctor stared at it, his eyes turning sinister.

"This guy is undeniably strong, but he's not exactly a peaceful person either."

Then, looking at the computer, a deep red scene was displayed, in which a girl was lying on the ground with her eyes closed.

"Hmph, what a pleasant surprise! Shiina Tatsuki has actually delivered himself to our doorstep. So, Shiina Maki, do you still intend to continue hiding your tracks?"

At this moment, inside the director's residence.

"Chihaya-kun, how's it going? Can you find where Ritsuki is?"

The three appeared in the corridor, which was lined with rooms with their doors tightly closed on both sides.

The three dared not damage the gate carelessly, because they could sense that there was a lot of dangerous magic present here.

"No, it seems the people here have all realized we're looking for someone and are working together to interfere with my senses."

Aine's face turned extremely pale.

"It seems they're trying to force us to break the sealing array on the door using this method."

Sebastian said that some people are being held here and are about to be tried. Why are they being tried? It's because they broke the law!

Li Xi needs to be saved, but Su Shi and the other two don't want to cause serious consequences by acting recklessly.

Allowing the people here to escape would be a disaster for the exchange.

“Master, a barrier with the same fluctuations as the previous wolf-headed zero beast has been discovered here.”

Just as Aine was at her wit's end, the voice of the Crown Heart appeared in Aine's mind.

"A barrier with the same fluctuations!?"

Aine was surprised.

"Is there any mistake?"

"There's no mistake, it's definitely the barrier fluctuation of a Zero Beast."

Aine is really exasperated. Why are there Zero Beasts again? Weren't they supposed to have been driven out? Why are they still popping up one after another?

"where is it?"
