Taking advantage of the sulfur's delay in stopping almost all the candle women, Lorraine drove Azure, speeding away in the direction where Butina had fallen earlier.
However……
When they hovered closer to the area, they found only a small crater that had been smashed open, and no trace of the evil Magia.
Azure felt sorry about this.
"That girl isn't here. It looks like she's trying to escape. Lorraine, we have to find her as soon as possible!"
She looked around, trying to find Wu Tina's whereabouts.
But Lorraine, who was riding on her back, didn't say anything. Instead, she looked up at the sulfur that was being besieged in the distance.
"Lorraine?"
Azure turned her head to look at him in confusion.
Lorraine immediately landed her on the ground, untying all the ropes binding her and taking the reins from Azure's mouth.
"Lorraine, what are you doing?"
"It's too late, Azure, listen to me... We must split up now. Sulfur can't hold out for long by herself. You must go back and help her, fight alongside her!"
"And what about you?"
“I will stay and continue the search for traces of Magia’s evil.”
"No, that's too dangerous! I have to stay with you!"
"Listen to me, the sulfur side needs you more than I do."
"But……"
"Mageya's evil is already at its last gasp and poses little threat to me. On the other hand, it doesn't matter if we let the evil escape, but if Sulfur is injured or even loses its fighting ability, that would be the worst outcome for us! There's an old saying in our country, 'Those who know the times are wise...' oh no, it's 'Where there's life, there's hope!' Don't lose sight of the bigger picture and forget what's truly important!"
Upon hearing this...
Azure was deeply moved. She hadn't expected Lorraine to care so much about them, the magical girls. Sulfur had been very unfriendly to him before, but what about Lorraine?
He didn't care at all, and instead put aside past grievances, prioritizing the safety of the sulfur.
What a kind and generous person!
Azure was moved by this.
She nodded solemnly. "Okay, I'll go help her now. Be careful, okay? Don't get hurt without my permission, understand?"
"Go ahead, but be careful not to get hurt."
"Okay, I understand."
The other person's concern made Bilan feel very warm.
——
After Azure left.
Lorraine immediately launched a thorough search of the spot.
...
Beside a big tree.
Wu Tina sat there, still shaken. The battle was so intense and terrifying, far surpassing anything she had ever experienced before. Only now did she perhaps truly understand why Brother Lin had been so reluctant to involve her in such matters.
Thankfully, Brother Lin helped her today, otherwise...
I'm afraid we'll really be completely defeated in a place like this.
Waaah...
That's terrifying.
Now's the time to slip away quietly.
However--
Just as Wu Tina decided to retreat and stood up to leave, a USP pistol with a silencer was pressed against her forehead the instant she turned around. Lorraine's figure was also reflected in her small eyes, which were filled with fear and dread.
Lorraine smiled leisurely.
"Hey, Miss Magia, where are you headed? You've already come all this way, and you think you can just run away after offending a magical girl?"
"Brother Lin..."
"The game is over, little girl."
He was being held at gunpoint.
Wu Tina felt somewhat relieved, and she simply spread her hands and said, "So, does that mean Brother Lin is going to destroy me? Like a righteous magical girl destroying an evil monster?"
"Hmph, what do you think?"
"If Brother Lin really wants to attack me, then just do it."
"Oh? You're not afraid of dying?"
"Everyone has to die eventually, but if I had a choice, dying at Brother Lin's hands would surely be a happy thing."
"Haha, even when you're about to die, you're still being glib."
"Let's do it, Brother Lin."
As he spoke.
Wu Tina even took a step forward, opened her arms, and looked as free and easy as a princess facing death.
Lorraine held the gun to her head, but out of the corner of her eye... she glanced meaningfully at the magical girls fighting high in the sky, or more precisely... at Sulfur in its second form, who was practically unstoppable.
soon.
He made his choice, put away his gun, and said to Wu Tina, "You can go now."
"Oh? What's wrong? Why did Brother Lin suddenly stop killing me?"
A peculiar smile appeared on Wu Tina's face.
She looked so happy.
Carefree.
They showed absolutely no remorse as prisoners of war after their defeat.
Lorraine remained silent.
"Just leave when I tell you to, stop with all the nonsense."
"But I want to chat with Brother Lin a little longer."
"Remember, young man, I'm letting you go not for your sake, but for my own."
"Ah, right, right, right..."
"Remember this again: this is a battlefield, this is war. You won't always be so lucky. If you want to survive, you must improve your strength. Otherwise... death and defeat are your inevitable fate."
That's all I have to say.
Lorraine said nothing more and turned to leave.
