Realizing that the other party had figured her out first, Kaoru Amagawa tried to calm herself down. This must be a trap set by this man, and she must not fall for it.

Yes, that must be nonsense.

Kaoru Amakawa smiled leisurely.

"Then tell me, what kind of person am I? If you're wrong, you're in for a lot of trouble!"

Come on.

She wanted to see just how this man perceived her!

Hmph... it's no use.

No matter what you say, she will deny it, because... the final interpretation of what kind of person Amakawa Kaoru is will always be in her own hands.

She can admit it or deny it if she wants to.

How dare a mere man try to manipulate her, Tianchuan Xunzi? He's just too arrogant and ignorant.

"My conclusion is actually quite simple, and it can be summarized in one sentence."

"I'm all ears."

"You are a good person."

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Amakawa Kaoru was momentarily stunned. She pressed on, "What do you mean? Are you giving me the 'friend card'?"

Lorraine laughed.

"No, I'm telling the truth. Through our time together today, I can fully feel that you are a good person, Ms. Kaoru."

"What's this all about?"

"Could I have misjudged her? Is Miss Kaoru actually a heinous scoundrel?"

"Who are you calling an asshole!"

Kaoru Amakawa was furious.

Lorraine lay back down, a contented smile on her face, gazing at the sunset sky above, and remarked, "To be honest, I feel a little more at ease now."

"Safe?"

"I feel at ease because the partner I will be fighting alongside in the future is not a bad person."

"Hey, why did you unilaterally define our relationship as partnership? I haven't agreed to it yet."

Kaoru Amakawa stood with her hands on her hips, looking down at the man who was talking to himself.

Lorraine turned and glanced at her, his warm smile momentarily making her lose her composure.

He said.

"In any case, in my heart, Miss Kaoru can already be considered a partner. If Miss Kaoru encounters danger on the battlefield in the future, I will definitely come to support you without hesitation."

"You... don't think that just because you say some cool things, I'll accept you. I'm not a girl who's so easily fooled. I've already said it, I'm not like Xiaoye! Your sweet talk has no effect on me."

Kaoru Amakawa turned her head and snorted.

“It’s okay, because no matter what you’re thinking, as long as I say it, I will definitely do it. You’re a good person, so I’m willing to show you my back without reservation.”

"I've always been a good person."

"If I misjudge someone today, then even if you stab me in the back in the future, it doesn't matter. I can only blame myself for being blind and misjudging the right person."

"What? I would never do such a despicable thing. What do you take me for? This is too much!"

Upon hearing this, Kaoru Amakawa became genuinely angry.

She would never do something as despicable as stabbing someone in the back!

Upon hearing this, Lorraine's smile widened.

Is this really true?

"nonsense."

"Then aren't we already partners?"

"ha?"

"Fighting side by side, relying on each other on the battlefield, sharing life and death... isn't that the best kind of partnership?"

"you!--"

Kaoru Amakawa realized she had been tricked.

From the moment she uttered those words, she had already tacitly accepted that the other person was her partner.

Upon realizing this, Kaoru Amakawa felt a sense of shame, as if she had been tricked.

In order to save face.

She turned her head and snorted.

"I'm a magical girl, Magia Sulfur, so on the battlefield, you should be more concerned about your own safety than mine. Don't talk so cool now, when the fighting really starts, you'll be stuck in the middle, and I'll have to come and rescue you..."

"Haha, you're right."

"How can you still laugh? You're not a magical girl. Fighting an evil organization is a very dangerous thing. Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"......"

Hearing this, Lorraine paused for a moment before saying deeply, "If the people most important to me... are facing danger and death, how can I remain unaffected... and just watch all of this happen?"

The most important person... could it be Saya?

Upon hearing this, Kaoru Amakawa felt a sudden tightness in her chest for some reason.

She remembered the promises that Xiaoye had made to her.

He already said it, but the person he likes is me.

Tenkawa Kaoru asked.

"Aren't you afraid? We're all magical girls, and at least we have magic to protect ourselves. But what about you? You have nothing... Even if you have a lot of powerful weapons, that doesn't change the fact that you're just an ordinary person, does it?"

Faced with this problem.

Lorraine fell silent once again.

Under Kaoru Amakawa's gaze, he stared at the half-sunset that was about to disappear behind the mountains, as if lost in some kind of memory. He murmured, giving the answer in his heart, "Miss Kaoru, I was also afraid. I ran away. I watched helplessly as my best friend died tragically at the hands of the enemy. He told us to leave, saying he would help us hold off the enemy, so we really left. But what we got in return was his cold tombstone. That day, I sat in front of his grave for a very long time, and could only shed useless tears like a powerless coward."
