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

"Teleport."

Whoosh, the five people vanished instantly. And right after Xiangzi and his group left, the ice froze, cracks appeared, and then it exploded.

The golden chains swung wildly, utterly destroying everything frozen in the air.

"Anno-chan, what should we do? They got away."

Xiaodeng looked at Aine with some anxiety. She knew how important the Seed of the Holy Stone was to Aine, and she didn't want to see Aine sad.

"Don't worry, Tomorin, it's okay that they ran away. Anyway, we've already achieved our goal."

Ai Yin patted Xiao Deng's head and chuckled. Then, a sphere of golden chains appeared in front of them. The chains unfolded, revealing the Seed of the Holy Stone floating inside.

"Aine, when did you manage to do this?"

Lixi looked at Aiyin in surprise.

"Hehe, actually, when I bound that Blue Bishop with my magic, I already discovered that he had two Holy Stone Seeds on his body. If it weren't for Miss Oblivionis's actions being too fast, I would have wanted to get my hands on both Holy Stone Seeds."

"So, does that mean we and Ave Mujica are both getting one?"

The result wasn't too bad.

"Aine, that person is gone."

Suddenly, Lena spoke, and Aine realized that Bishop Qing had disappeared at some point.

Did they run away?

Ai Yin felt a bit of a headache. She couldn't let Bishop Qing slip through the net, after all, she and Su Shi had promised Deng Jin that they would wipe out all the Chongling Cult members here.

boom

Suddenly, a huge commotion came from outside, and the entire stronghold was collapsing. Ai and the others exchanged glances and left the place in an instant.

The five of them went all out. Along the way, the stronghold was empty, presumably because everyone had been captured. When Aine and the others came out, they immediately saw Fate. At her feet was a person lying there, none other than the Blue Bishop, who was now bound by shackles shaped like lightning magic.

"Miss Fate, what happened?"

Normally, the capture of the Blue Bishop should have been a cause for celebration, but Fate showed no joy at all. Her face was extremely grim as she stared at the distant sky, at the enormous, beast-shaped sculpture.

"Miss Chihaya, this is a big problem."

Seeing Aine, Fate shook her head helplessly.

"This guy activated the Zero Cult's forbidden magic, which is capable of destroying a city. Do you see that Zero Beast sculpture? That's the Zero Cult's 'Heaven and Earth Annihilation Technique.' In less than three minutes, a magical attack that will sweep across the entire city will arrive. I've already notified Yuri, and she said she'll find a way to get everyone in Narumi City to prepare defensive magic in preparation for this impact."

"Hahahaha, ignorant humans, do you think this can resist the 'Destruction of Heaven and Earth'? You actually dared to destroy the sacred stronghold of my Chongling Cult. Come to hell with me, hahahaha, uh pfft."

"Shut up."

Finally, Lixi couldn't take it anymore and kicked the Blue Bishop in the stomach, making him unable to speak from the pain.

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, but it's very difficult to do."

Fate pointed to the head of the Zero Beast statue in the distance.

"That's the vent where the 'Heaven and Earth Annihilation Law' is released. Destroying that place will break the 'Heaven and Earth Annihilation Law,' but there's not enough time."

Because they didn't even have three minutes left.

"Mr. Sushi."

Ai Yin looked at Su Shi, who had already activated her Eagle Eye magic. Upon hearing Ai Yin's words, Su Shi shook her head.

"No, this Zero Beast statue looks close, but it's at least 30,000 meters away from here."

If Su Shi could truly transform, he might be able to take it down completely with a single shot from here, but that's probably not possible now.

"Is passive defense the only option?"

Aine was a little anxious. She couldn't imagine how much damage this shot would cause to Narumi City.

Meanwhile, in a high-rise building somewhere in Narumi City.

"Heart of the Rising Sun, set up."

"OK, my master."

Surrounded by pink magic, the brown-haired girl with a single ponytail slowly put on a white magic outfit. Her long brown hair was tied into twin ponytails, and she controlled a magic wand that shimmered with a red round gem, pointing it directly at the head of the Zero Beast sculpture.

The turret was erected, and three progressively smaller magic circles appeared in front of the magic staff.

"Everything is ready to go, master."

Such a sound came from the magic wand.

"Alright, let's go, Rising Sun Heart."

"God breaks!"

On this day, everyone in Narumi City could see that the pink magic beam, which could almost tear the sky above Narumi City, swallowed the head of the giant Zero Beast sculpture in the blink of an eye.

mygo!!! : Chapter 45: The Location of Poppin' Party

"You're back just in time, Nanoha."

Seeing this massive beam of magic power, Fate knew without guessing who it was. After all, in Narumi City, there was only one person who could unleash such a binding magic.

"Nanoha, is that the captain of the Maneuver 6 Lessons, Takamachi Nanoha?"

Ai Yin asked curiously.

"Yes, it's her."

A gentle smile appeared on Fate's face.

"Afterwards, I'll take you to see her."

"Hey, is that okay?"

"It's alright, Nanoha will definitely be happy to meet you."

As he spoke, he grabbed the blue bishop who was still muttering "this is impossible" from the ground and led him toward the police car.

Other members of the Zero Cult were also arrested. Those who were innocent were allowed to return to their lives after being de-brainwashed, while those who had committed crimes were inevitably imprisoned.

Aine and her group of five stayed an extra day in Narumi City, where, through Fate and Yuri's introduction, they met the remaining members of the Maneuver 6 Lessons.

Nanoha Takamachi, Hayate Yagami, Suzuka Tsukimura, and Elisa Barnes.

Perhaps because Fate also thought that the Blue Bishop only had one Holy Stone Seed, she only asked about the Holy Stone Seed being taken away by Ave Mujica and then said nothing more, instead comforting Aine.

This made Aine feel a little guilty, but the Seed of the Holy Stone was related to something that happened two years ago, so she couldn't give it to Fate right now. Therefore, Aine could only apologize in her heart.

After the incident in Narumi City ended, Aine and the others embarked on their journey back to Tokyo, hailed by the Hanashiro family's private helicopter.

"Can this 'Seed of the Holy Stone' really help Aine find the current location of the team that went missing two years ago?"

Looking at the Seed of the Holy Stone in Ai's hand, Li Xi asked in confusion.

"What are we going to do?"

"Well, I'm not really sure either."

Ai Yin disturbed her face.

"Go find Grandma."

　Lena spoke up from the side.

Upon hearing this, Aine immediately realized what was going on.

“That’s right. Since Grandma Tsuzuki asked us to bring back the Seed of the Sacred Stone, she must have a way.”

The group immediately decided to set off to Lena's house to find her grandmother.

"Then I won't go."

At this moment, Su Shi, who had been following behind the group, stopped and looked at them with a smile.

"Hey, Su Shi, why don't you come along too?"

"I really don't need it anymore. I've taken three days off and need to go to school to register as soon as possible."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing this, Aine was also a little disappointed, but she could understand. After all, Tsukimori was a prestigious academy for young ladies, so it was understandable that it was stricter than Haneoka and Hanasakikawa.

Seeing the disappointment in Ai-yin's eyes, Su-shi's heart trembled. She almost said that she could go too, but she forced herself to stop just as she was about to open her mouth.

[This can't go on any longer; we must find Xiangzi as soon as possible.]

If Su Shi continued to stay with Aine for too long, she was afraid that she would no longer want to kick Aine out.

After parting ways with Su Shi, Li Xi frowned the whole way, seemingly lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Riki? You've been frowning the whole way."

Ai walked beside Lixi and reached out to smooth his brow.

"This doesn't look good."

Lixi shuddered and quickly moved away from Aiyin.

"You, what are you doing?"

"What?"

Ai Yin looked at Li Xi with a puzzled expression, as if blaming her for reacting so strongly.

"Of course I'm telling you not to frown, because the more you frown, the faster you look old."

"Oh, well, anyway, please don't touch my face out of the blue."

"What does it matter? Haven't we already done things that make us even closer?"

Ai Yin was even more confused. This was just a normal thing between best friends, so why was Li Xi reacting so strongly?

"A more intimate gesture?"

Xiao Deng tilted her head slightly, looking innocently at Li Xi, but Li Xi shuddered.

"No, don't talk nonsense."

"But... but... mmm."

Ai Yin wanted to say something, but Li Xi covered her mouth.

"Alright, that's enough, just shut up!"

Lixi didn't want Xiaodeng to know that he had forcibly kissed Aine after he transformed into his true form, because it would feel like he was cheating on her behind her back.

As they were talking, they arrived at Lenai's house.

open the door.

"Grandma, I'm back."

"Lena, welcome back."

The old man's voice came from inside the room. Shisen Tsuzuki came out from inside, and when she saw Aine, Kodama, and Riki following behind Ronai, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Lenai, did you bring your friends home?"

"Ah."

Lena nodded heavily.

"Grandma Tsuzuki, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Grandma Tsuzuki, nice to meet you. I am Tatsuki Shiina."

"Takamatsu Tou."

Ai-yin, Riki, and Kodama greeted Tsuzuki Shisen in turn.

"Hello, alright, come in."

After bringing the group in, Lenai spoke.

"Grandma, we've brought the Seed of the Holy Stone back, Aine."
