What's this?

Looking at the moving undead around them, Xiao Huan and the blue-haired girl were shocked. They had never seen anything like this before!

However, what happened next shocked them even more. Red Ponytail turned the sword over and thrust it into the ground, then whispered something.

“…Seal it.”

“——!”

Along with the low moan of the red ponytail, a bone-chilling cold air whistled and spread, instantly enveloping the two of them. Xiaohuan and the blue-haired girl instinctively closed their eyes and stretched out their hands to block their eyes. However, when they opened their eyes again, the scene in front of them completely stunned them.

In front of them, it was no longer the dark alley, but a huge circular platform. In front of this circular platform, they could see a throne made of ten thousand years of ice. It was dark all around, and the frozen wilderness and the huge ice fortress enveloped everything.

"This is?"

"Barrier!?"

Before the two could react, the girl with red ponytail suddenly swung the sword in her hand and pointed it at the blue-haired girl.

"The end is coming!"

As she spoke, a violent wind arose, followed by an instant burst of ice. The girl was unable to dodge and was directly hit by the burst of ice. She screamed and flew backwards.

However, this was just the beginning. As the blue-haired girl fell to the ground, the ground around her suddenly opened up, and then a huge zombie crawled out and pounced on the blue-haired girl.

“Ooooo…!”

Looking at the strange undead spirit in front of her, the blue-haired girl gritted her teeth and waved the spear in her hand. Soon, hundreds of spears appeared behind her and blasted at the ghoul in front of her. The huge ghoul was quickly scattered to the ground under the whistling and flying spears, and turned into fragments and disappeared into the air.

However, the girl with red ponytail didn't even look at these zombies, but raised her sword and pointed it at the blue-haired girl!

“Woo!!”

The moment she was locked by the red ponytail, the blue-haired girl felt her body tremble suddenly, and a burning pain came from inside her body, as if she had suddenly fallen seriously ill. This caught the blue-haired girl off guard and she fell to the ground immediately. At the same time, a beam of light like black lightning burst out from the red ponytail's sword and directly hit the blue-haired girl's body.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

The incomparable pain made the blue-haired girl scream. She desperately held the spear and resisted the black lightning. But even so, under the attack of the black lightning, the blue-haired girl still couldn't support it. She waved her spear hard and tried to fight back. However, just as the blue-haired girl started to move, she saw a figure flashing in front of her. The next moment, the red ponytail appeared in front of her, and the big sword in her hand suddenly raised up.

"clang!!!"

Along with the crisp sound of weapons clashing, the spear in the blue-haired girl's hand was knocked away, and at the same time, the red ponytail rushed into the blue-haired girl's arms, and the big sword in her hand stabbed straight into the blue-haired girl's chest!

“Stop it now!!”

Following the scream, the red ponytail girl stopped moving instantly. She kept rushing into the blue-haired girl's arms and turned her head to look behind her. She saw Xiao Huan looking at them with a pale face.

"Well, um... stop hitting me, okay? Please, stop..."

At this moment, Xiao Huan was looking at the red ponytail with some uneasiness. She had never expected that this magical girl who looked like she had lost her memory would be so powerful. More importantly, she had clearly wanted to kill her just now! This also frightened Xiao Huan, so she hurriedly spoke out to stop her.

“…”

Red Ponytail stared at Xiaohuan silently, then lowered the big sword in his hand. The next moment, the black big sword disappeared in Red Ponytail's hand, and the scene around him shook again and returned to its original appearance.

"……call……"

Only then did Xiaohuan's legs go limp and she fell to the ground. Red Ponytail silently walked back to her side, staring at her curiously, still without saying a word.

"What on earth is going on..."

The blue-haired girl also stood up at this time, but unlike before, she looked at the red ponytail warily at this moment, because the previous battle almost scared her to death. You know, the blue-haired girl didn't expect that she was almost killed in that instant!

"Yachiyo!"

Just then, another voice was heard. Everyone turned around and saw Taozi rushing over.

"Really? What are you doing? What on earth happened?"

"Momoko-san!"

Seeing Taozi appear, Xiaohuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Taozi nodded to her, then frowned and looked at the blue-haired girl.

"That won't do. Are you bullying the new guy again?"

"I didn't, it was just advice."

The blue-haired girl changed back to her original form and looked at the red ponytail warily.

"But now it seems that I have a lot of questions that need you to answer."

Because of the inexplicable battle before, both sides finally had to go back to the adjustment house. After learning what happened, Taozi was quite surprised.

"Huh? Did this kid actually defeat Yachiyo?"

"That's right."

The blue-haired girl, Nanami Yachiyo, nodded and stared at the red-tailed girl warily. The latter sat quietly on the sofa, saying nothing and not moving.

"Who is she? What she did before doesn't make her look like a magical girl, but more like a witch!"

"Witch?"

"That's right."

Yachiyo nodded.

"She can cast a barrier and summon familiars, which are things only witches can do!"

"But, but, this child is obviously a human being, right?"

Hearing what Yachiyo said, Xiaohuan hurriedly denied it, but Yachiyo shook her head.

"It's not impossible for a witch in human form to exist. Although it's rare, it's not impossible."

“How could it be…”

Hearing Yachiyo's answer, Xiaohuan lowered her head in depression, while Taozi frowned and stared at Yachiyo.

"So, what are you going to do?"

“…”

However, faced with Momoko's question, Yachiyo did not answer for a long time.

What is she going to do?

What else can she do?

She was almost killed by the opponent in the previous encounter. Does she want to fight back?

"I have a suggestion."

And at this moment, the black-hearted, unscrupulous businessman, Yakumo, the money-swindling proprietress spoke with a smile.

"Although I don't know whether this child is a magical girl or a witch, at least so far, she hasn't shown any hostility, right? And from what Yachiyo said, this child seems to be quite obedient. She attacked you before because you wanted to bully Iroha-chan, right? In that case, let's just keep the status quo. Anyway, this child isn't harming anyone else."

"That's true, but it could also be a new witch..."

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to destroy her here? You were just defeated by her."

“…”

Sister, you're in a tough situation. Your chest is bleeding.

Hearing this, Yachiyo's face turned pale and then purple, and then purple and then pale, and finally she shut her mouth and stopped talking. After all, she was the leader of the East District of Kamihama City, but she was beaten up and almost had to go back to her hometown to get married. This was indeed not a good thing worth promoting.

"It's better this way."

The proprietress Yakumo had no intention of continuing to pursue Yachiyo, and seeing that she looked unhappy, she quickly changed the subject.

"Let this child stay with me first. She has nowhere else to go anyway, right?"

"Hey? Is this okay?"

Hearing this, Taozi became a little worried. She knew that although the proprietress had the skills to adjust soul gems, her own combat power was not strong. This was why the adjustment house was opened in such a remote place, in order to avoid witches and familiars.

As for this girl... Although I don't know whether she is a magical girl or a witch, the fact that she can easily defeat Yachiyo is enough to show her strength. Momoko really feels a little uneasy to let such a powerful being stay here.

"It's no problem. I think this child is still very obedient, right?"

"That being said... um, well, there's nothing else to do."

After making the decision, Yachiyo turned around and left, but Momoko liked Xiaohuan very much and told her that she would bring her friends to help Xiaohuan find clues about her sister in Kamihama City. This made Xiaohuan very happy, but also a little frightened.

“Um… Is this really okay? I’m already very grateful to you for saving me from the witch, so there’s no need to bother with me looking for my sister…”

"What's the matter? We are already friends. I rely on my parents at home and my friends when I go out. Besides, we can relax at this time. Don't worry. Leave it to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Since the other party said so, Xiaohuan had no way to refuse, so she nodded and agreed. When Taozi heard Xiaohuan's answer, she also laughed.

"In that case, let's go meet them now. Let's go."

“Ah, yes…!”

Hearing this, Xiao Huan stood up in a panic. She looked at Hong Ma Wei with some uneasiness, and then turned around and left the adjustment room with Tao Zi. Hong Ma Wei sat on the sofa, staring at Xiao Huan's back as she disappeared, then she tilted her head, stood up, and quickly disappeared outside the door.

"Oh my god."

Seeing this scene, the proprietress Yakumo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"This is really a disobedient child..."
