"Um...Excuse me, where is this place?"

Looking at the shabby place in front of her, Xiaohuan couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but seeing her reaction, Taozi patted her shoulder with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. This place just looks a little suspicious from the outside. You'll know once you go in."

"Ah, um..."

Although she felt a little uneasy, Xiaohuan had no choice but to go in after hearing Taozi say that.

Inside was a space that looked very spacious. I didn't know whether it was a theater or somewhere else. The hall looked a little messy, but it was unexpectedly filled with a special mysterious atmosphere.

"Hey, Adjuster!"

Pushing the door open, Taozi greeted everyone with a smile. Soon, she saw a girl with long silver hair, wearing strange clothes and sitting on the sofa, drinking tea from a cup, standing up with a smile.

"Welcome - ah, isn't this Taozi? It's been a long time since we last met. I'm really feeling a little lonely."

"This is not my business. Let's talk about it later. Actually, these two kids want to ask you something. Please help them, Miss Yakumo."

As she spoke, Momoko pushed Tamaki and Red Ponytail up. Seeing the two girls in front of her, the girl named Yakumo narrowed her eyes and looked at them from head to toe with curiosity.

"Hmm...are you new here? Do you need your Soul Gem adjusted?"

"Hey? Hey?"

"This is Ms. Yakumo Yutama, the adjuster from Kamihama City."

Taozi also came over and explained to Xiaoyuan, who was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

"She can adjust the soul gems for magical girls, and after the adjustment, the magical girls' strength will be greatly enhanced, you know?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Xiaohuan was shocked. She had never known before that there was someone who could adjust the soul gem!

"Hmm... how should I put it, it's a specialty of Kamihama City. Anyway, you'll soon understand that as long as you live in Kamihama City, you will definitely come into contact with her. Forget it, let's not talk about this now... Yakumo, I need your help with something."

As she spoke, Momoko brought the two of them to Yakumo and explained their situation to him, and Yakumo's eyes widened in surprise.

"A magical girl who came to look for her sister and a magical girl who lost her memory?"

"Yes, please tell me... do you know a girl named Huanyou?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember the name... Because the only magical girls I deal with are from Kamihama City, so if it's an ordinary girl... I'm sorry, unless there are other clues."

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Xiao Huan seemed a little disappointed, but she was mentally prepared, so she was not particularly disappointed. Yakumo shook his head, then smiled and looked at the other person.

"So, this is the magical girl who lost her memory?"

"Yes, Yakumo, can you see what's wrong with her?"

"Um……"

Yakumo carefully looked at the red ponytail from top to bottom, then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, although I did say that, this child is not a magical girl."

"Why?!"

Xiaohuan and Momoko were both surprised to hear Yakumo's answer.

"Isn't it?"

"Yes, look carefully, she doesn't have any magical girl symbol on her."

"Now that you mention it..."

After hearing what Yakumo said, the two took a closer look at the red ponytail and found that it was indeed the case. Logically speaking, magical girls all have the same symbol, that is, they all wear a ring on the middle finger of their left hand, and there will also be a magical girl's symbol on the nail of the finger wearing the ring.

Therefore, even if no one says it, as long as you carefully observe the fingers and marks, you will immediately know whether the other person is a magical girl.

However, there was nothing on the red ponytail's fingers, and it was obvious that she was not a magical girl.

At least she's not the kind of magical girl that everyone imagines.

"How could that be? We clearly saw her transform."

Seeing this, Xiaohuan and Taozi were also inexplicably surprised. The reason why they thought Red Ponytail was a magical girl was because when they found her in the witch's barrier, she was wearing clothes similar to a tight one-piece swimsuit. After the witch was defeated, her clothes also changed and became a very ordinary one-piece suit.

This is clearly the characteristic of a magical girl! If she wasn't a magical girl, how could she transform? !

"Did she lose her ring somewhere?"

"Probably not, but it would be terrible if the Soul Stone was lost."

Thinking of this, Xiaohuan's expression suddenly became uneasy.

"It must have fallen somewhere at that time. Maybe I didn't notice it. I will go back and find it right now!"

As she spoke, Xiaohuan stood up in a panic, grabbed her red ponytail, turned around and left the adjustment room.

"Ah, wait, Tamaki!"

Watching Xiaohuan leave with her red ponytail, Taozi helplessly reached out her hand to press her forehead and sighed.

We must find this child's soul gem as soon as possible!

Pulling the red ponytail, Xiao Huan hurriedly left the adjustment room and quickly ran in the direction they came from before. The soul gem is the life of the magic girl. Xiao Huan didn't even think about what the consequences would be if it was lost. However, generally speaking, no one should lose the ring. Uh... The place where the witch appeared is also a busy street. What if someone picks it up...

Thinking of this, Xiaohuan couldn't help but glance at the girl behind her. At this moment, her red ponytail was still being pulled by her, but she didn't have any special reaction at all, just staring at her curiously, as if a cat was sizing up a friend it had just met. For some reason, Xiaohuan felt very worried when she saw her like this...

"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to find your soul gem."

Xiaohuan said something to comfort her and continued to run forward. Soon, she felt the breath of magic again - could it be that another witch appeared?

We must catch up as soon as possible!

However, what she didn't expect was that just as she walked into the alley not far ahead, a figure blocked her way.

"Wait a moment."

"Why?"

Xiaohuan looked up and saw a fashionable, mature-looking girl with long dark blue hair standing there, staring at her quietly.

"Well, um, sorry, I have something urgent to do..."

Under normal circumstances, Xiaohuan might have said a few words to the other party, but in this situation, she really was not in the mood to chat with others.

However... the other party directly blocked her way.

"If you want to go over there, please knock me down first."

"Why……"

Xiao Huan was shocked when she noticed the hostility from the other party. The girl crossed her arms and looked at her coldly.

"You should know it best, right? A weak magical girl like you can never defeat a witch. Just now someone was helping you, but now, you actually want to die?"

"No, I'm not..."

"Although there are some discrepancies, now I can drive you out of this city without any worries."

As she spoke, the girl raised her hand, and the next moment, with a flash of light, her figure suddenly changed.

"Why, why do you want to do this?"

Watching the other party transform, Xiaohuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and transform into a magical girl. However, she still didn't understand why the other party wanted to hinder her when she had never met this magical girl before?

"Because you proved to me that you don't have the ability to survive in this city."

Raising the spear in her hand, the blue-haired girl looked at Xiaohuan coldly.

"This is your last chance. Go back to your own territory. Kamihama City is not a place for a weak magical girl like you to come."

“…I don’t want it.”

Faced with the blue-haired girl's warning, Xiaohuan couldn't help but take a step back, but even so, she still bit her lip and gave an answer.

"I still have things to investigate here. I want to find my sister, and... and this child..."

“…”

Hearing this, the blue-haired girl was silent for a moment, then raised her spear again and aimed at Xiaohuan.

"In that case, let me tell you whether you can survive in this city!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the blue-haired girl stabbed out with a spear and attacked Xiaohuan!

not good!

Xiaohuan was shocked when she saw the other party attacking, and could only grit her teeth and fight back.

Unfortunately, Xiaohuan's opponent is not easy to deal with. On the one hand, she is obviously much stronger than Xiaohuan, and on the other hand, Xiaohuan's weapons are not suitable for fighting such enemies. Each magical girl gets different weapons after signing the contract. After becoming a magical girl, Xiaohuan uses a crossbow, which is a long-range weapon, while the opponent's spear is a medium-to-long-range weapon. With the overall disadvantage of strength, speed, and even weapons, Xiaohuan can't hold on for long in front of this blue-haired girl.

Just a moment later, accompanied by a scream, Xiaohuan flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"This way, it's over!"

With the announcement, the blue-haired girl jumped high and stabbed Xiaohuan with the spear in her hand. Looking at the spear stabbing at her, Xiaohuan also clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.

However... she did not wait for the expected final blow. Instead, a crisp sound of weapons clashing rang in Xiaohuan's ears.

"clang!!!"

Xiaohuan opened her eyes and found that the girl with red ponytail who had been standing beside her had appeared in front of her with her hands raised. The blue-haired girl's spear seemed to be blocked by something and stayed in front of the girl with red ponytail.

Soon, a cold breeze came.

“This, this is…”

Xiaohuan widened her eyes in surprise, and saw that the ground centered on the red ponytail began to freeze rapidly. At the same time, ice crystals flashed, and a huge black sword emerged out of thin air, revealing its true form under the entanglement of the cold air.

It has a pitch-black sword body with azure inscriptions carved on it. The eyes of the skull on the hilt shine with blue soul fire, and the whole sword exudes an ominous aura.

“What is this?”

Seeing the sword, even the blue-haired girl was stunned. However, what happened next was even more unbelievable.

“Woo——!”

The girl with red ponytail tightly grasped the big sword and hummed softly. Then, the frozen ground around her broke with a "crack". Then, dozens of undead soldiers broke out of the ground and surrounded the blue-haired girl!

“…”

Seeing this, the blue-haired girl and Xiaohuan were stunned.

What on earth is going on?
