After listening to Xiaohuan's story on the road, Red Ponytail was completely speechless.

Do you dare to drink the free drinks given out on the street? Don’t you know that free things are the most expensive?

It’s a good thing it was a witch. What if it was a human?

If they put something in your drink, so that you can't stop drinking it, and want to drink more, and then ask you for money after you are addicted to it - this is considered good. If they squeeze you for money like in many books, and then say that since there is no money, you have to pay the debt with your body, and then do this and that to you, and then sell you to other men or make a movie...

Well, it seems like she is a witch now.

Compared to witches, humans are so scary.

Not bad, not bad.

“It’s right here.”

It didn't take long for Xiao Huan and Felicia to bring Yachiyo, Red Ponytail and others to the place, where they saw that the free beverage delivery service was still going on. However, in everyone's eyes, those guys who were supposed to be sales staff turned into paper figures like those in a drawing book, walking around on the street with a strange pace, while the people around them seemed to turn a blind eye.

It looks quite surreal and weird.

“Hey, you!!”

However, before Xiaohuan could say anything, Felicia rushed over and grabbed one of the paper men.

"How dare you give me that weird stuff to drink!"

"I don't know what you are talking about. This is the lucky owl water that brings good luck..."

"Shut up!"

What no one expected was that Felicia let out an angry roar, and the next moment she suddenly transformed in public, raised a hammer that was bigger than herself and smashed it directly at the stall of Owl Lucky Water!

"All witches must die. All must die!!"

"boom!!!"

With a loud roar, the crowd around them, as if hypnotized, screamed and ran away. When the dust settled, there was nothing around, including the previous stalls and the paper people, all of which disappeared completely.

"Hey? Where's the witch? Where did those guys go?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, and then Yachiyo frowned.

"That's not a witch, what are you doing, get out of here!"

Since the weird guy disappeared, everyone left the scene in a hurry. They didn't expect Felicia to be so tough and transform and start fighting in public. Fortunately, the people around seemed to be hypnotized by the witch and didn't notice the problem. But... this is too exaggerated!

"What on earth are you thinking about!"

Running into a small alley nearby, Yachiyo immediately grabbed Felicia and started to scold her.

"Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Did I do something wrong?"

"Yes, really. That's why I said you don't have to come with me. Besides, I had no obligation to save you in the first place."

"Oh, yeah, me too. I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense!"

Hearing Yachiyo's reprimand, Felicia immediately retorted, then turned around and left unhappily. Seeing this, Xiaohuan hurriedly spoke up.

"Felicia! Wait a minute, let me hire you. You are a mercenary, right? Then you will be willing to help me, right?"

“…”

Hearing Xiaohuan's words, Felicia, who was about to leave, stopped, turned her head to look at Xiaohuan, and then she stretched out her hand.

"Witch extermination, 1,000 yen per session... Oh, this guy isn't a witch, then 500 yen will be fine."

"Um."

Hearing Felicia's offer, Xiao Huan nodded, and the red ponytail next to her was speechless, one thousand yen per time... no, only five hundred yen, which is less than fifty yuan! Is it really okay?

"Wait a moment."

However, just as Xiaohuan took out her wallet and was about to pay, Yachiyo hurried over to stop her.

"I can't just pretend I didn't see this. Please use something other than cash."

"That……"

After hearing Yachiyo's suggestion, Xiaohuan thought for a moment and looked at Felicia.

"I'll treat you to a meal, and I'll cook. Felicia, you've been eating out, right? How's it going?"

"Xiao Huan, are you going to cook?"

Felicia blinked, then smiled.

"There's really no other way. I'll help you this time!"

After that, everyone quickly found the paper man spreading rumors outside the school - from a certain perspective, this was their good luck. Then, the group followed the paper man and gradually came to an empty and deserted highway.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the bright red sunlight shone through the pillars onto the ground, which looked extremely strange. However, just as everyone was walking along the direction where the paper man disappeared, suddenly, several figures wearing black cloaks suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"Who are you?!"

Looking at the black cloaks that suddenly surrounded her, Yachiyo's face darkened and she asked in a stern voice. Soon, she saw those black cloaks looking at them and speaking.

"Are you the ones who are investigating the rumors about the lucky water and hindering Maggis's teachings?"

"So what?"

"let it go."

"Rumor has it that it's redemption, it's liberation."

"It's the key to saving the magical girl."

"If you want water, we can give it to you, as long as you don't get in our way."

“…”

Hearing the black cloaks talking in unison, Yachiyo was silent for a moment.

"What you mean is that as long as we become your companions and stop pursuing rumors, we can drink this water every day. Is that what you mean?"

"That's right."

"I don't believe it."

At this moment, Tsuruno also cried out.

“What about the children who drank the water and disappeared?!”

Faced with Tsuruno's shouting, the black cloaks remained completely unmoved.

"Magical girls will be saved by Magis. Freed from their tragic fate. We will destroy all witches and save the fate of magical girls."

Hearing this, Yachiyo frowned, but just as she was about to speak, suddenly, a strange, clear and pleasant voice sounded.

"So, what exactly are you going to do?"

"Why?!"

Hearing this sudden voice, Yachiyo and Tsuruno turned around in surprise, and then saw the girl with red ponytail walking out from among them and looking at the black cloak in front of them.

"Now, you just said you want to save the magical girl, so how do you want to do it? What is the principle? How to achieve it? Can you explain it to me?"

"Can you speak?"

Compared to Felicia who was confused about the situation and Xiaohuan who had already noticed it, Yachiyo and Tsuruno were obviously more surprised. After all, before this, Red Ponytail had never said a word in front of them.

"Just for a little while."

The red ponytail glanced at Yachiyo, then looked at the black cloaks again.

"From what you said, those rumors are related to an organization called Maggies, and Maggies is trying to use the rumors to save the magical girl. But these rumors alone are not enough for us to join. We need more information. If possible, can we meet with the relevant people inside Maggies? We need further intelligence. Then we can make a decision."

“…”

Hearing the red ponytail's question, the black cloaks were silent for a moment, as if they were considering and pondering. After a long while, the leading black cloak shook his head.

"Sorry, we can only welcome those who have drunk the lucky water to join us."

“Haha…I see.”

Hearing the black cloak's answer, the red ponytail sighed.

"It's really a pyramid scheme. They are very skilled in recruiting people, and they use southern techniques. I really doubt whether your boss also ran away from an anti-pyramid scheme organization. Since you don't want to, then there is nothing I can do..."

As she spoke, Red Ponytail raised her hand, and the next moment, a pitch-black sword suddenly appeared in her hand.

"I have no choice but to ask you to lead the way!!!"

"--call--!"

As Red Ponytail finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew around them, and then the scenery in front of everyone changed from the original highway to a dark Icecrown Fortress. Countless undead stood on the city walls and in front of the gates, surrounding them tightly.

"Xiao-Xiao Hong?!"

Seeing this, not only Yachiyo and the others were stunned, but even Xiaohuan was stunned. Although she knew that Red Ponytail would be very tough in battle, she didn't expect her to be so tough!

This is kidnapping if the invitation fails!

"Negotiations have broken down, let's start fighting."

Red Ponytail glanced at Xiaohuan and swung the sword in her hand vigorously.

"As long as we catch them, we will know what that organization called Maggies and those rumors are all about!"

As soon as the words fell, Red Ponytail raised her greatsword and rushed towards the black cloaks in front of her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno were stunned for a moment, then quickly transformed and followed closely. Just as Red Ponytail said, they had been looking for clues about the rumors. And now the clues appeared on their own initiative. They did not act rashly before because the other side had more people and they were all magical girls. It would not be good to fight them.

But now, Red Ponytail has locked them in the barrier, and there are so many undead creatures around, are they more numerous than people?

Is there any need to compare?!

In fact, there is really no need to compare.

Faced with this sudden scene, the magical girls were completely confused. After all, it would be fine if you suddenly moved to another world, but when a flash appeared before your eyes and tens of thousands of undead armies surrounded you, even the magical girls didn't know what to do.

After all, even when facing the witch's familiars, there are rarely so many of them.

In addition, Red Ponytail and Yachiyo were both powerful magical girls, so they could hit them with every strike. So after only a few minutes, when Red Ponytail retracted the barrier again, those in black cloaks had been completely knocked to the ground.

"Okay, now can you please take us to the organization called Maggies?"

The red ponytail raised the pitch-black sword, pointed it at the black cloak in front of her, and spoke directly with a smile. The black cloak clenched his fists, looking like he would rather die than surrender.

"I refuse. I won't agree to it even if I die."

"Don't think I can't really kill you."

Hearing this, Red Ponytail stretched out her greatsword and tapped lightly on the soul gem of Black Cloak, which made Black Cloak tremble suddenly.

"And, as I said before, what I want to know is how exactly the organization Maggies plans to save magical girls? What is their approach, what is their theory, and how do they accomplish it? Perhaps you can explain these to me?"

“Well…I…”

Faced with the red ponytail's question, the black cloak suddenly didn't know what to say.

"So you see, we need to discuss this with someone who knows something about it. If what you do can really save the magical girl, then we can also contribute, right? At that time, we might even become your companions."

“…”

Perhaps moved by Red Ponytail's words, after a moment's silence, Black Cloak finally nodded.

"Okay, follow me."
