It had to be said that Diabolos moved quickly.
By the afternoon of the third day, Shizuku received word from Diabolos that he had reached an agreement with Makdara Monastery. As for whether they would join forces, they would give their answer at dawn that same day.
That was why Shizuku had brought Tamamo-no-Mae and Eris here.
The Hudson River was shrouded in mist before dawn. Shizuku stood silently by the railing, staring at the river before her. Tamamo-no-Mae and Eris stood quietly behind her. Not far away, Diabolos was still dressed like a gentleman, standing silently beside two men also clad in trench coats and wrapped up tightly, all three as motionless as statues.
At that moment, headlights tore through the dim fog. Shizuku turned her head and saw a car emerge from the mist, slowly pulling to a stop before Diabolos and the others.
The doors opened, and out stepped a girl with shoulder-length blonde hair, a boy slightly shorter than her with purple hair and purple skin, and a mature woman with long red hair.
The instant she saw the blonde girl, Shizuku froze.
So it was her.
Though she was not wearing her distinctive blue nun's habit and instead wore clothes that looked no different from those of an ordinary girl, Shizuku recognized her at once.
Rosette Christophe.
I see.
At that thought, Shizuku looked again at Eris beside her.
Right, Eris, Rosette, Chrono... No wonder those names had sounded familiar. So this was... Gunslinger Girl!!!
Only now did Shizuku finally understand what was going on.
Gunslinger Girl—if one were listing Fang Zheng's childhood-trauma series, then Gunslinger Girl would definitely rank among the top three. The other two were Robot Mahoro and Elfen Lied, though there was no particular order among them.
