"…Who are you?"

Looking at the red ponytail, the blonde girl with twin ponytails' expressions changed slightly. They initially thought that the red ponytail was also like them, using the Brave APP to transform and fight. But that was not the case. In the report to the organization afterwards, the blonde girl learned that the organization did not send anyone to assist them, and there had never been such a powerful Brave.

Not only that, on their phones, the red ponytail is displayed as "UNKNOW".

In other words, she is not a hero.

"I told you, I'm just a magical girl passing by."

The girl with red ponytail smiled and shook the Coke in her hand.

"Besides, I have saved you once, isn't that enough? As for the other things, please let me keep it secret for now."

"Then please go and talk to our superiors..."

"I'm sorry, but I have no interest in human organizations, let alone any affection for them."

The red ponytail interrupted the blonde.

"I can do whatever I want. I don't want to hang out with those suspicious-looking guys wearing masks. But then again, I don't know your names yet. Shouldn't you introduce yourselves first?"

"Well……"

Hearing the words of the girl with red ponytail, the girls were a little surprised for a moment, but they didn't say anything else, but reported their names obediently. They are members of the Brave Club of Zanzhou Middle School. The girl with blonde twin ponytails is the leader of the Brave Club, Inubosaki Kaze, and the short-haired girl next to her is her sister Inubosaki Shu. The energetic girl with red hair is Yuuki Yuna, and the girl with long black hair sitting in a wheelchair next to her is Togo Mimori, and the last one with brown hair tied with two bows is Miyoshi Karin.

Well, red, yellow, blue, green and black, the five-color teams are all here.

"As for me, I think everyone already knows. My name is Red Ponytail, and I'm a magical girl of love and justice."

“Ahahahahaha…”

Hearing what the red-tailed girl said, the girls all smiled bitterly.

"Um...you're not hallucinating, are you?"

"No? I'm right here now, if you don't believe me..."

As she was speaking, the girl with red ponytail suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed Yuuki Yuna who was next to her. Then her fingers began to move flexibly as if she was playing the piano.

"Well, do you feel it? This is not an illusion, okay? How is it? How does it feel?"

“Wa ...

After being caught by the red ponytail and tossed around for a while, Yuuki Yuna collapsed on the chair, panting, her face flushed, and she said nothing. The red ponytail then withdrew her hand, stared at the others with a smile, and moved her fingers.

"How about it? Do you want to experience it too?"

“…”

The girls shook their heads and then took a step back together.

"Hahaha, just a joke."

As she spoke, Red Ponytail sat down on the chair and took a handful of potato chips with a smile.

"Well, do you mind if I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"About the monster you're fighting, and all this. Who are you fighting? Why are you fighting? If you don't mind, how about telling me about it?"

"Why?"

The girls were surprised again when they heard the red-tailed girl's question.

"Well... if that's the case, then shouldn't you go and..."

"I would rather hear your stories from those of you who are fighting on the front lines, rather than those who are just hiding in the background and sneaking around."

Red Ponytail shrugged, drank the Coke in one gulp, and then looked at them.

"How about it? You just need to tell me the parts you know."

“…”

The girls looked at each other, and then the girl with twin ponytails stood up.

"Okay, let me tell you."

Soon, with the explanation of the blonde twin-tailed girl Inubo Saifu, the red-tailed girl learned about this world.

A long time ago, this world was attacked. At the critical moment, a great being called the God Tree stood up and protected humans from the attack. It built a wall to isolate the entire world. However, the enemies outside did not give up. They would try to enter this world and destroy the God Tree. Because if the God Tree was destroyed, the barrier of the God Tree would be broken, and the humans who were protected would be destroyed.

These girls are the heroes who are chosen to obtain the power of the sacred tree, protect it, and fight against the enemy. What they face are the strange things that Red Ponytail has seen before.

As for that space, it was created when the sacred tree was attacked. If they fought in that space, it would not affect the real world. But if they fought there for too long, the sacred tree's space would also be eroded by the Batik. Moreover, they had to prevent the Batik from rushing to the sacred tree.

"But, there is no need to worry now! Because the twelve Batiks that attacked the sacred tree have been destroyed. It's all thanks to you that we were able to destroy the remaining seven Batiks in one go!"

"Seven?"

Hearing what the girl with twin ponytails said, the girl with red ponytail looked confused.

"I only killed two?"

"Ah, no... Miss Red Ponytail."

At this time, the girl with long black hair who had been sitting in a wheelchair also whispered.

"The big one is actually the product of the fusion of three Batiks. As for the small one, uh... you may not have noticed, but in fact, when you were fighting with the combined Batik, the small Batik was chopped into pieces by the swords you made..."

Oh, I see. No wonder I had no impression of it.

but……

"So, you mean, this is the end? All twelve monsters are destroyed? And then the world is at peace?"

"Uh... that's right..."

Hearing the question from the red-tailed girl, the girl with twin ponytails hesitated, but she still nodded.

"Excuse me, is there any problem?"

"No, that's no problem. I'll take my leave now. We'll see each other again in the future."

After saying this, the girl with red ponytail stood up, waved to the girls with a smile, then jumped out of the window and disappeared.

"……?"

Looking at the red ponytail that suddenly appeared and disappeared, the girls were confused and at a loss.

But no matter what, for them, the world crisis ended, and the girls lived in peace for a while.

However, the days of peace were shorter than they imagined.

A few days later, the girl with twin ponytails gathered the members of the Brave Club again and returned the phones that had been taken back to them. There was only one reason for this, that is, there were still some remaining Batiks, and only by destroying them could the world's crisis be completely resolved.

Soon, Batik attacked again. Fortunately, this Batik was not very powerful. The girls worked together to quickly defeat the monster and successfully sealed it.

However, after the barrier disappeared, Yuuki Yuna and Tojo Mimori did not return to the original school roof together. Instead, they came to another strange place that looked like a shrine.

"What's going on?"

Yuuki Yuna looked around in confusion.

"This isn't the roof of the school, is it? Where are the others?"

However, at this moment, a soft voice came.

"I've been calling you, Washio. I really want to see you..."

"Why?"

Hearing this voice, the two girls were startled. They turned around and ran towards the place where the voice came from. Then they saw a bed on the other side of the shrine. On the bed, there was a girl wearing a hospital gown and wrapped in bandages. She looked at the two of them with one eye and showed a peaceful and gentle smile.

"I finally meet you guys."

"Hey? Hey??"

Looking at the scene in front of them, Yuuki Yuna and Togo Mimori both seemed a little surprised.

"Why is there a bed in a place like this? Also, are you calling us?"

"Yes, I am calling you."

Although she seemed to be seriously injured, the girl lying on the bed, wrapped in bandages all over her body, seemed very calm.

"I can be considered your senior. My name is Nogi Sonoko."

"ah……"

Hearing this, the two girls opposite also stood up hurriedly.

"I, I'm Yuuki Yuna from Zanshu Junior High School."

"Togo Mimori."

"Really..."

When she heard the two people say their names, Nogi Sonoko closed her eyes.

"Yuuna--Kazumi Mori?"

“Well, that…”

Looking at Nogi Sonoko lying on the bed, completely unable to move, Yuuki Yuna asked with some uneasiness.

"Since you are talking like this, have you ever fought before, Senior?"

"Hmm...Is that correct?"

"Is it...was it Batik who made Senior like this?"

Seeing the miserable state of Nogi Sonoko in front of her, Yuuki Yuna swallowed her saliva and asked tremblingly. There was no need to look at it specially, just the scene in front of her was enough to show how tragic this girl had been. Her whole body was wrapped in bandages, lying on the ground unable to move until now, with only her left eye and mouth exposed, she looked like a tragic fire victim.

"Ah, no no."

Hearing Yuuki Yuna's question, Nogi Sonoko denied it with a smile.

"I'm not an enemy. Don't look at me like this. I'm actually quite strong... By the way..."

Having said this, Nogi Sonoko looked at the two of them.

"You haven't fully opened yet, have you?"

"Eh? Full bloom... is what the Minister was talking about..."

"Well, it bloomed all of a sudden, and then it became stronger all of a sudden, it's quite amazing."

"Yes, that's right..."

Hearing Nogi Sonoko's words, Yuuki Yuna and Togo Mimori looked at each other in confusion. In fact, in the previous battle, they almost chose to fight the enemy with all their might, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the mysterious magical girl Red Ponytail...

"If you haven't, that would be great."

After hearing the two people's answers, Nogi Sonoko closed her eyes with relief.

"What do you think will happen to the flowers that bloom?"

"……Why?"

"In fact, after it fully blooms, it has a hidden function called scattering flowers."

"...scatter...flowers?"

"That's right. After it fully blossoms, a certain part of the body will have an obstruction."

Facing the two of them, Nogi Sonoko smiled and spoke.

"……Why?!"

"This is the price of exerting the power of God. We borrowed the power of God by fully blooming, but we also have to pay a price for it. One flower blooms, one withers. Two flowers bloom, two withers... On the other hand, the hero will never die. And then... I kept fighting until I became what I am now... Fortunately, my original special skill was to be in a daze, so I don't feel particularly painful."

“How could it be…”

Hearing this, Yuuki Yuna and Togo Mimori were stunned and speechless.

Fully bloomed... They knew the mechanism, but they didn't know that after it fully bloomed, there was such a secret hidden.

If... we continue to fight.

However, at this moment, suddenly, another voice came from above their heads.

“I heard something really interesting.”

"Why?"

Hearing this voice, the three looked up and saw that Red Ponytail was sitting on the Torii Gate, looking at them with a smile. Then she jumped down and landed in front of the three.

"Do you mind if I chat with you for a few minutes, Ms. Nogi Sonoko?"

Then, she looked at Nogi Sonoko who was lying on the bed and spoke.
