The battle was over, so the others naturally finished their transformations and returned to their normal attire. The black-haired girl in front of them frowned and stared at them, wondering what she was thinking.
"If possible, could you please tell us what happened? We have just arrived in this world and don't know much about the situation here..."
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's question, the black-haired girl did not answer. She looked at everyone cautiously, then quickly took a step back. The next moment, the girl did something that surprised everyone.
Turn around and run.
“……???”
Seeing the girl disappear in the night in a few seconds, everyone was also a little stunned. You know, just now they thought that this young lady might exchange some information with them, or say something to each other.
But right now, what is this...
"What should we do now, Sensei?"
Sakura scratched her head as she looked at the now-vanished girl, while Fate asked with some concern.
"Do you need me to track you down?"
"No, um... let's put it this way, it's time for you to get familiar with the working procedures of our Tiandao Palace."
Facing the magical girls' inquiries, Fang Zheng clapped his hands - since he announced to Lindy that this place belonged to the Tiandao Palace, Fang Zheng naturally told Sakura and Nanoha about the Tiandao Palace. Just as he said before, the Tiandao Palace is an organization that travels through time and space and the world to protect the earth and human civilization.
Of course... that's exactly what happened.
"We have arrived in a new world. The first thing we need to do is to determine the situation of this world."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened his inventory, took out a few Protoss detectors and threw them into the air. He then turned on his personal terminal, and soon, a series of images appeared in it.
"We must first confirm where this world is currently located, what era it is in, whether civilization is advanced, and what the focus is..."
"The point?"
"That's right."
In response to Xiaoying's question, Fang Zheng nodded.
"The Tiandao Palace has been to many Earths. Although each Earth looks the same, its development and situations are different. For example, there is a game world where the technology is advanced to the point where people can enjoy entertainment in the electronic virtual world as if they were playing real games. There is also a biochemical world. Because of the spread of the virus, when we went to that world, most of the people in that world had turned into irrational zombies..."
"Alas……!"
Upon hearing this, Sakura, Nanoha and Tomoyo's expressions changed slightly.
“Is there still such a terrible world?”
"This is not the scariest thing. There is another world where there are children called Cursed Children. They are all mutated children due to being infected by a virus before birth. However, these children are discriminated against in that world. They are regarded as monsters and can even be killed at will..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng adjusted the lens.
"In short, each world has its own different rules and order. We must first investigate and understand this, and then determine how to intervene. Instead of acting according to our own feelings right away. As the Tiandao Palace, as a third-party organization that protects the earth and human civilization, we cannot judge according to what people in this world say, but should investigate it with our own eyes."
Hearing this, the girls were silent, and after a moment, Fate asked with some uneasiness.
"Teacher, what happened to those children in that world you mentioned?"
"The Tiandao Palace has found a way to treat their viral infection, and has brought most of them to live in the Tiandao Palace. Thanks to them, the Tiandao Palace is now very lively. As for that world... it is currently under our management, and similar things are not allowed to happen again."
"call……"
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the girls beside him all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, just hearing Fang Zheng's few casual words was enough to make them worry and nervous for the children in that world.
"Okay, let's take a look."
After setting up the Protoss detector, Fang Zheng quickly connected the screen. Soon, sci-fi buildings and cities appeared on the screen in front of the girls.
"Wow...so beautiful..."
"It looks a bit like science fiction..."
"That's right."
Hearing the girls' comments, Fang Zheng nodded.
"From the current perspective, this should be a near-future world."
"In the near future..."
"It's a world that will be several decades later than the one you grew up in, maybe twenty or thirty years later."
"Really?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's explanation, Sakura couldn't help but look at the city in front of her curiously.
“Will there be so many beautiful skyscrapers in our world in 20 or 30 years?”
"Why do I feel like this style of painting doesn't match the magical girl style?"
Xiao Hei next to him complained.
"This is too sci-fi, not magical at all."
“Ahahahahaha…”
Hearing Xiao Hei's complaints, Illya smiled bitterly helplessly.
Indeed, this doesn't look like a magical girl at all... After all, magical girls in the near future... are too sci-fi.
"But we still don't know what the magical girls in this world look like, and why do they fight?"
At this moment, Zhishi also raised his own questions out of curiosity, and Fangzheng nodded.
"That's right, so we have to at least find a few magical girls, talk to them, and ask about the situation in this world. The girl just now was a good breakthrough, but it seems that she is wary of us."
"He feels a bit like Fate when we first met."
Thinking back to that girl, Nanoha sighed now, and Sakura nodded.
"Yeah, it feels like she doesn't want to communicate with us at all, and how should I put it... I also feel a sense of mission from her..."
"Eh? Really?"
On the contrary, Fate himself was quite surprised and didn't seem to have any sense of it.
"yes!"
In response to Fate's question, Nanoha nodded vigorously and then clenched her fists.
"I will have a good talk with her next time we meet!"
“…”
Hearing this, Fate couldn't help but tremble all over, and then she looked at her friends around her.
"Nanoha..."
"Hmm? What's wrong? Fate?"
Looking at Nanoha who turned around and looked at him curiously with a smile, Fate was about to say something, but stopped talking, and finally...
"Come on, come on, I believe she will understand your feelings, Nanoha!"
In the end, Fate could only clench his fists and cheer Nanoha on.
