"Click, click."

The metal soles of the shoes stepped on the broken shadows as they walked on the streets.

In the distance, the crashed ship had stopped burning, and the breeze blew the fallen leaves onto the rattan chairs on the street. The deserted road and the black-clad soldiers formed a grotesque scene.

"Patrol—Monitor—Patrol—"

The soldiers' eyes glowed red, forming a net on the floor tiles and starting a carpet search of the road, not missing any details.

At this moment, the trash can in the shadow of the alley suddenly moved.

"Boom!"

"...!"

The robot turned around instantly, raised the gun, and touched the trigger with his fingertips...

"Da da da da da"

Fire flashed, and the ammunition pouring out of the gun barrel instantly turned the trash can into a sieve, and the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the street.

Jingle Bell--

Empty bullet shells fell to the ground one after another. When the gunfire stopped, the trash can had turned into a piece of tattered iron sheet, the plastic bag with a foul smell was leaking juice, and the wall had been peeled off several layers of skin.

"Alert, cancel."

The soldiers relaxed their guard, lowered their guns, and prepared to continue patrolling.

At this moment...

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

A strange sound came from the direction of the trash can again.

The soldiers were startled and immediately fired their rifles, only to find a small creature with a long tail slowly emerging from behind the trash can. It had a pointed mouth and its eyes flashed with a strange red light.

It's a mouse...

A mechanical mouse.

“—?—?—?”

The soldiers were confused by this strange little object. Although they were all made of machines, the other party did not look like a colleague at all, and they had never heard of such a machine in the team. They were a little at a loss for a moment.

"Unit? Number? Operation? Identity? Information?"

It lowered its gun, stepped forward, and prepared to scan the other party carefully.

"Sizzle, sizzle."

The clockwork sound rang out, and the mechanical mouse ran away.

The soldiers immediately chased after it, all the way to the end of the alley, and finally forced it into a corner.

"Warning—Identity—Confirmation—Friend or Foe—Final—Communication—"

The soldier gently touched his temple, his eyes glowing red, and when he turned on the scanner again...

"Click, click."

My body couldn't move.

It felt so heavy, as if being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand. My feet gradually lost strength and touched the ground, and all the mechanical joints wailed.

At this moment, the trash can next to it suddenly opened.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The girl's shrill scream and the sound of gunfire rang out at the same time, echoing throughout the alley.

Ding Ding Dong Dong

Bullet casings fell to the ground one after another, and when the gunfire stopped, all that remained was the smell of gunpowder and the girl's trembling breathing.

"Why, why do I have to do this..."

Broken glasses hung on his nose, and a few fish bones hung from his fluffy indigo hair.

It’s Ziyin.

White smoke was coming out of the gun in her hand, and her hands were shaking with fear, and she was almost unable to hold it.

It was obvious that she had successfully ambushed the enemy, but now she looked more like she was ambushed, and tears were almost coming out.

"I am clearly... a magical girl... who represents... the embodiment of love and hope..."

She looked at the gun in her hand, and the worldview in her mind collapsed again. As a magical girl, she was actually killing people with a gun!

"enemy--"

"Huh?! Still not dead?!"

The soldiers actually moved, which scared Ziyin.

When she instinctively closed her eyes and fired, most of the bullets hit the wall, and the core in the soldier's chest was not destroyed.

“H-What should I do…Ah!”

Ziyin instinctively stepped back, and the back of her head accidentally hit the lid of the trash can. Her hand loosened and the gun fell into the dark trash can.

“It’s over, it’s over!”

She immediately squatted down and began to grope for the gun, but it was pitch dark below and she couldn't see anything. The soldiers had already raised their guns and aimed at her!

"In my next life, I want to be a hermit crab..."

Ziyin had fallen into despair. Just when she gave up resistance and began to think about her last words...

"Ziyin!"

Above the alley, a rosy red figure leaped out from the air conditioner, turning into a falling spear and crashing directly into the arms of the miscellaneous soldiers.

puff-

A long knife with a blade flashing red pierced the crystal core in its chest.

「%$&¥%$¥#」

Confusing reports.

The fire flickered, and after a brief struggle, the light in the soldiers' eyes disappeared and they completely lost their response.

“Phew, success…”

In the alley, the mercury-colored princess braids swayed gently, shedding a few drops of crystal sweat.

It was the future. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, pulled out the long knife from the robot's chest, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it resolved already?"

The trash can slowly opened, and Ziyin poked her head out tremblingly, her huge round-framed glasses reflecting the light.

"It's okay, that was a close call."

"Is it really resolved? Will they suddenly come back to life?!"

"It's really solved!"

Ziyin had a banana peel on her head, looking around with extreme vigilance, her whole body shaking as if it was in vibration mode.

"Senior said that as long as their core is destroyed, they will not move. Hehe~ Look, look~!"

Weilai hugged the soldier from behind, with a wicked smile on his face, raised his hands and approached Ziyin step by step.

"Eh?! No, don't come near me!"

Ziyin let out a shrill scream and hid back in the trash can again. Her head accidentally hit the wall of the can and she cried in pain.

"I've had enough! Why hasn't the academy sent anyone to take us back? If this continues, I'll definitely die."

"Is this the legendary PTSD?"

Seeing his companion become like this, Mirai sat on the lid of the trash can, looked up at the sky blocked by electric wires, and sighed softly.

However, there is no way around this.

If she had been the one shot before, maybe she would have become like this too.

The terrifying experience of being hit directly in the forehead by a bullet is not something that anyone can endure.

She knew at least some details of the war from her sister's notebook. It was Ziyin's first time away from the academy and she was still living in the fantasy of the textbook and could not bear the pressure of reality at all.

but....

We can't continue to be weak.

The demons may attack the human world at any time, and we must do something to prevent the tragedy from happening.

At the very least, we must not let down our predecessors who have been fighting hard on the front lines, and we must not become a burden to her!

Mirai stared at the sharp sword in his hand, the blade slowly flowing with the bright red color that was familiar to his predecessor's pupils.

"Is this...senpai's ability?"

Mirai witnessed Ye Shi transforming a piece of black metal into the shape of a spear, and then into other weapons.

She is simply a mobile armory, which seems to be her ability as a magical girl of machinery.

However, it is clear in the future that the strength of the predecessors is not their abilities.

If this skill were given to myself, I would definitely not be able to bring out its value. The one who is amazing is the senior himself.

As people of the new era, we must never rely solely on our predecessors again!

"Okay, okay, break time is over!"

Weilai opened the lid of the trash can with a bang, grabbed Ziyin by the collar like a kitten, and dragged her to the next place.

"If we keep dragging our feet, Senior will abandon us. Didn't Shion say she wanted to be the strongest magical girl?"

"No, no, I don't want anything, let me go home!"

"Don't be willful. Didn't you sign the contract before coming to the Demon Realm? You can't go home until the mission is completed."

“Someone come and save me…”

Ziyin was already crying like a tearful person. Now, she wished she could strangle herself to death immediately for signing the contract in such a conceited manner a few days ago.

"I wonder how things are going with Senior..."

"Crackle"

The windows shattered, and countless pieces of glass fell to the ground from above, shattering in the bright sunlight.

The bodies of several soldiers fell in front of them, and the crystals in their chests had already been hollowed out.

"Huh?! S-sneak attack?!"

Ziyin, who mistook it for a gunshot, was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted, with white bubbles coming out of her mouth.

"No, this is..."

Wei Li noticed that these soldiers looked very strange. Electricity was emitting from their bodies. Not only the core, but also the area outside the core was brutally attacked. All their heads were gone.

Wei Li raised his head, blocked the sun with his hands, and looked at the roof.

A dark figure was standing on the top of the building.

"senior....."

The black hair that could not absorb the light swayed in the wind under the scorching sun, and the red eyes looked straight into the distance.

It's Ye Shi.

However, she makes the future feel extremely unfamiliar.

Seven or eight broken machine heads shot out from the spear in her hand, and turbid oil dripped from the tip of the spear.

"Senior, it seems like you're not in a good mood..."

Standing in the alley, looking up at the future in the sky, I tightly clutched the clothes on my chest.

Senior, what happened?

if....
