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

Yachiyo nodded, and then she transformed into her magical girl form. But that wasn't all; spiritual energy leaked out from behind her like tentacles.

"Well."

Yachiyo looked pained, and seeing this, Aine used healing magic to alleviate her pain somewhat.

Then, what appeared before Aine was Yachiyo's witch incarnation, which looked like a scorpion with a small lantern hanging at the tip of its tail.

"I see, it is indeed the spiritual power of the Zero Beast."

Aine observed carefully.

"You've perfectly merged with magic, Yachiyo. Do you now have any thoughts of tearing me apart?"

Magic and spiritual power are two absolutely opposing energies. Therefore, ordinary Zero Beasts have an urge to tear humans apart when they see them.

Only those zero-sequence beasts have the ability to restrain this impulse.

"No."

Yachiyo shook her head.

"Is that so? In other words, it's different from simple spiritual energy? Tsk, what exactly does the incubator want to do?"

I thought I could figure out some of the incubators' motives, but in the end, I found nothing.

"Alright, Yachiyo, you can take it back now."

Upon hearing Aine's words, Yachiyo reverted to her witch form.

Did you fail to achieve your goal?

Yachiyo could also guess that Aine must want to do something by asking her to do this.

"No, but it's not like we've gained nothing. At least, I have a way to prevent what you call the end of magical girls."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, Yachiyo excitedly grabbed Aine's hands.

"Miss Aine, do you really have a way to stop magical girls from turning into witches?"

"Yes, after you became a witch, I saw it very clearly. The end of magical girls is not absolute, but to achieve this, I need the assistance of my friends."

"Is this the person Miss Aine has been looking for?"

"Yes."

Ai Yin nodded. This method requires the support of healing magic, so the presence of the little lamp is essential.

"Tomorrow, Hei Jiang and I will conduct a thorough search of the entire city of Kamihama. We must find the location of the headquarters of the Wings of Magis."

"Wings of Magis?"

“That’s right. Today at the Marghers Wings outpost, I sensed Tomorin’s magic. Oh, right, Tomorin is my friend’s name. So, I suspect that Tomorin might be trapped inside Marghers Wings.”

Aine explained.

"So, Yachiyo, it seems that neither Kuroe nor I will be returning to Mikazuki-sou for the foreseeable future."

"It's alright, just relax and go with Hei Jiang to search for the location of Wings of Magis. I'll take care of things here."

Early the next morning, Aine took Kuroe away from Mikazuki-no-sou. They called it a carpet search, and it really was a carpet search, leaving no place unchecked.

Tokyo

Distance between Aiyin and Xiaodeng

Seven days have passed since Aine disappeared. Su Shi and Rakuna have been frequently going back and forth between Kodama's house and the location where Aine disappeared.

Ultimately, the Emerald Sword concluded that only at Xiaodeng's home was it most likely that an opening could be torn in the Incubator's spiritual barrier, allowing the three of them to enter Shenbin City smoothly.

"Lixi, how much longer?"

Su Shi walked into Xiao Deng's house from outside, followed by Le Nai. For the past few days, Li Xi had been staying at Xiao Deng's house, assisting the Emerald Sword in breaking through the Incubator's spiritual barrier.

"The Emerald Sword says it will take about another week, which is about the same as the initial estimate."

Li Xi's voice also revealed a hint of anxiety.

"What about your side? Can you find any help? The Emerald Sword also said that if we had other intelligent magical devices, this time could be shortened."

"No."

Su Shi shook her head.

"I did manage to find a few users of intelligent magical devices by using the Nagasaki family's influence, but they were either delayed by something or lived too far away. It would take at least a month for them to get to Tokyo."

"Grandma said she would try to find a way, but the chances of finding one are slim."

Lenai followed up with her answer.

"Phew, so we can only rely on ourselves? Anyway, you two come and help first."

As he spoke, Lixi brought up a series of magical data and asked Su Shi and Le Nai to help with the calculations.

However, the three people who were focused on breaking the magical barrier did not notice that several thousand meters above Xiaodeng's house, two twin sisters were looking down in their direction.

"You're really working hard, aren't you, sister?"

"Hehehehe."

Duster let out a delighted laugh.

"Alright, we can report today's observation results to our collaborators now. Gao Songdeng won't be out for a while, so they can proceed with their mission with peace of mind."

"I don't know what our collaborator is thinking, that he's so determined to get rid of Nanoha Takamachi."

"Well, it's just human infighting. We can just watch the show."

Headquarters of Magis Wings

After about five days of thorough searching, Aine and Kuroe finally located the headquarters of the Wings of Magis and quietly infiltrated it.

After knocking out two members of the "Black Feather" faction of Maxxis Wings, Aine and Kuroe stripped them of their clothes and, disguised as Maxxis Wings members, entered the headquarters openly.

"Miss Aine, where should we go next to look for Miss Lamp?"

Following behind Aine, Kuroe asked softly.

"Come with me. Since I came here, I have been able to vaguely feel the magic of tomorin."

Ai responded softly. Along the way, there were quite a few magical girls inside the Wings of Magis, with magic power levels ranging from B to A.

However, deep within the headquarters, Aine sensed quite a few AA-level and AAA-level beings.

Aine wouldn't underestimate her opponent just because there were no S-rank magical girls here. It was because she had witnessed Yachiyo's witch transformation that Aine understood that even if the enemy's magical power level was lower than hers, she was not guaranteed victory.

Since Yachiyo was able to transform into a witch, it's not impossible that no one within the Wings of Magis could also transform into a witch.

Although witch transformation and true transformation are different, the amplification is similar, both capable of causing earth-shattering changes in magical girls.

As far as Aine knows, once Yachiyo becomes a witch, unless Aine becomes a true witch, she will definitely not be a match for Yachiyo.

As for what will happen after the transformation, we'll only know after we fight it.

Following the faint magic of the small lamp, Aine led Kuroe deeper and deeper into the area.

"Hey, you two!"

At that moment, a magical girl dressed in a white robe walked towards them.

"Are you new here? This is not a place where you 'Black Feather' are qualified to enter. Leave immediately."

"Huh? Really?"

The soul of love's voice, and then.

砰咚

The magical girl in the white robe collapsed, seeing stars, and was then pulled aside by Aine.

"Won't this be discovered?"

Hei Jiang spoke nervously from behind.

"It's fine."

Aine skillfully stripped the white robe off the white-robed magical girl.

"I'll set up a barrier around here and cast a sleep spell on her. I guarantee she'll sleep for days and won't wake up! It's just a pity we're still missing a white robe."

"What are you doing here?"

A girl's angry shout came from behind. When the girl saw the unconscious companion in Aine's hands, she immediately gasped and her magic surged instantly.

Swish

Ai Yin instantly appeared behind her, knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck, and then quickly caught her.

"Alright, that's enough."

Heijiang: ...

Although Aine's approach seemed rather simple and crude, the result was good. Kuroe didn't say much, took the white robe from Aine, and changed out of his own "Black Feather" clothes.

Since they changed into the "White Feather" clothes, no one stopped Aine and Kuroe along the way.

After an unknown amount of time, Aine, leading Kuroe, followed the magic of the little lantern and arrived at the empty rocky plaza.

There was nothing in the square except for a giant witch chained up.

"This is... a witch!"

Hei Jiang stared in astonishment at the witch before him. Although the witch showed no signs of moving, Hei Jiang felt his legs trembling just standing in front of her.

"Finally, I've found you, tomorin."

However, when Aine looked at the witch, she showed a relaxed smile.

This startled Kuroe slightly upon hearing Ai's words.

Tomorin? Is she Aine's friend? Is she a witch?

The question flashed through his mind, but then Hei Jiang realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.

The witch is not the little lamp; the real little lamp is inside the witch!

A magic circle appeared beneath Aine and Kuroe's feet, and in an instant, Aine and Kuroe vanished from their spot.

In the darkness, like a stagnant pool, Xiao Deng sat calmly, his hands one above the other with palms facing each other, and in the middle, a bracelet engraved with stars floated.

"tomorin."

When Aine and Kuroe arrived here, this was the scene they saw: inside the witch's body.

Ai Yin took a few steps forward, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Xiao Deng open her eyes.

At that moment, a memory was inserted into Aine and Kuroe's minds.

That was the memory of a girl named "Tanyu," a memory belonging to her three younger sisters, Tamyu, Touka Satomi, and Nemu Hiiragi, who stole a large amount of power and half of the Nine Star Ring from Kyubey in order to save their older sister, Iroha Tamaki.

After seeing this memory, Kuroe was still shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time. She was amazed by what she had seen.

Huan You, Li Jian Deng Hua, and Hiiragi Yin Yu—how old are those three?

She was able to discover the secret of Tamaki Iroha without relying on the help of adults, and then met Kyubey.

Even under Kyubey's influence, she remained vigilant and did not blindly trust him. She used Kyubey's personality to gradually gather information and analyze its accuracy before finally taking a gamble. She exploited the loophole in Kyubey's ability to grant wishes to magical girls and accomplished a feat that no one had achieved in fifty years.

With a mortal body, he seized most of the incubator's abilities, leaving no Kyubey in the entire city of Kamihama.

If one had to find a shortcoming, it would be that they did not consider Huanyou's ability to withstand it. After seizing Kyubey's "receiving" power, Huanyou was unable to withstand the "soul" of a magical girl and instantly turned into a witch, which is what Aine called the Fallen Zero Beast.

"No, there really is such a thing?"

Ai Yin stared in disbelief, communicating with the Crown Heart through telepathy.

"I was so sorry for arguing with you before, Heart of the Crown."

"...Hahaha, now Master won't doubt me anymore, right? As the intelligence of an intelligent magic device, my judgment is generally correct."

After a moment of silence, Crown Heart let out a haughty voice.
