Chapter 798

"Miss Luvia!?"

Chloe watched Illya's reaction with satisfaction as she spoke.

"When I was staying with Luvia, she gave me 100,000 yen as pocket money all at once. Isn't that great?"

"One hundred thousand!?"

"Still the same old person."

What's wrong with that person's view on money? 100,000 yen, as a primary school student's allowance!

Overwhelmed by a profound sense of defeat, Illya collapsed to her knees, wondering why the world was so unfair.

"Miyu is even more amazing. Because of her maid's salary, she must have saved several million by now, right?"

"Several million!?"

Illya's gaze wandered, and her thoughts became strange.

First, calm down...

"... I'm so glad I could become friends with Miyu!"

"Isn't saying that the worst thing you could do right now?"

"Haha~ Miss Illya is completely confused."

"Oh, you're so annoying! Of course I was just kidding!"

Illya took a deep breath and said.

Although Kuro's icy gaze was piercing, she ignored it.

Even though it was a joke, I'll keep something I'm seriously considering a secret...

"Ugh, I'll ask Sara for the swimsuit when she's in a better mood... I'm so looking forward to the birthday party at the beach."

"Yes."

"... I heard it!"

Just when Illya thought the conversation had come to an end, she heard the strange sound again.

This time I'm sure I didn't mishear.

There was a sound like something was colliding coming from outside.

Seeing Illya's appearance, Chloe and Ruby once again showed expressions of surprise.

"Honestly, you're saying weird things again...!?"

Just as Chloe was about to deny Illya's words, the loudest sound yet rang out.

And this time, I even felt a shaking.

Chloe noticed it too, staring intently in the direction the sound came from.

"This direction is..."

"Is this Miss Luvia's residence?"

"Or maybe they're just arguing about something trivial again... But could this be..."

The two girls looked at each other and nodded.

They left their room and went downstairs, quietly opening the entrance door.

Carefully avoiding being spotted by Sella, he stepped outside and stood in front of the mansion standing opposite his house to observe the situation.

"... It seems like nothing's wrong."

"You can't tell from the outside. This is because the mansion has erected a barrier that impedes perception."

"Yes. So even if something happens inside, the people outside won't notice."

"... Anyway, I opened the door."

Chloe nervously opened the door to the Edelfelt mansion.

Then, a scene beyond their wildest imagination appeared before them.

The once magnificent and solemn mansion and courtyard have been completely altered.

"W-This is...!?"

"What's going on...?"

"This is truly tragic..."

The scene before my eyes was shocking.

Luvia's house was completely destroyed.

It wasn't just half-destroyed, it was completely destroyed.

This is not the result of Luvia and Rin fighting.

Illya felt a chill run down her spine, while Chloe broke out in a cold sweat, staring at the completely destroyed mansion.

Then, a sound rang out.

"The intruder alarm hasn't gone off. Although they look like children, they seem to be involved as well."

A figure walked towards them with their back to the collapsed mansion.

With his meticulously straightened face, short rose-red hair, and fair skin, his upright posture exuded an imposing aura.

Despite the already hot weather, this foreign woman insisted on wearing a men's suit.

She is none other than Bazett Fraga MacRemyth, the strongest Sealing Designation Enforcer from the Mage's Association.

A new and formidable foe has shattered the tranquility of daily life.

Volume 10: 477 Don't underestimate our brother complex!

The short-haired beauty who appeared at the ruined Edelfelt mansion exuded a cold aura.

She gazed silently at Illya Miyu, then spoke.

"The intruder alarm hasn't gone off yet. Although he looks like a child, he seems to be involved as well."

However... if it's reinforcements, then it's too late.

"!?"

Illya's eyes widened.

The woman with short, rose-red hair disappeared.

However, Chloe reacted to this.

She stood in front of Illya, raising her twin swords of yin and yang.

"Empty handed!?"

The woman's punch was blocked by Chloe with her twin swords, and the latter showed a distressed expression.

"You blocked that attack? It seems you're not the ordinary child you appear to be. I need to change my opinion of you."

"Illya, stop spacing out! This guy is the enemy!"

"Mmm, mmm! Ruby! Transform!"

"..."

However, the Kaleidoscope Wand did not react at all.

Ruby!

No matter how Illya called out to her, Ruby remained silent, showing no intention of transforming into Magical Girl.

Illya urged anxiously, "If you don't hurry, Kuro will...!"

Ahead, Chloe is facing off against a mysterious enemy.

In order to protect Illya, who was caught off guard and unable to transform into Magical Girl, Chloe had to abandon her most effective guerrilla tactics and confront the enemy head-on.

"Ugh, damn it...!"

Chloe retreated with a contorted expression, while the woman pursued her nonchalantly.

The enemy's strength is formidable.

It's unbelievable that he could suppress Chloe, who possessed the power of Heroic Spirit, with his bare hands.

Every time Chloe catches an enemy's punch, a "thud" sound echoes around her.

The girl's expression alone revealed just how astonishing that power was.

"... You're pretty arrogant!"

"What?"

"That's the one engraved on your glove, isn't it 'Rune Magecraft'?"

"Ah, you mean hardening Runes? You know that quite well."

"Arms are hardened, legs are accelerated, looks like they're using other Runes... How arrogant."

This is my fighting style.

The two continued talking without stopping their actions.

The two swords and two fists clashed, and shockwaves continued to spread outwards.

Because of the shockwave, Illya couldn't even stand up, let alone escape.

She grew even more anxious and looked at Ruby beside her.

Why aren't you talking, Ruby!?

"Whoa!?"

Illya was blown away by the shockwave.

"Ugh, Illya!"

"Don't look around."

"Oh no... Ugh!"

In the instant Chloe was distracted, the short-haired woman ruthlessly swung her fist, striking the girl in the stomach.

"Kuro!"

Chloe was thrown more than ten meters before she slid down into the concrete wall.

"While it certainly possesses unimaginable power, it's still too inexperienced."

"He really is just a child, showing concern for others even during battle."

As the woman spoke, she shifted her cold gaze to Illya.

"So, are you next?"

"I... I..."

Don't underestimate me!

"Hmm!?"

What interrupted that cold voice was Chloe's attack.

The girl, severely injured and unable to move, launched an attack.

That was a completely unexpected attack.

In that case, even if they are enemies...

"You're kidding, right!?"

"I've gotten used to your fighting style."

Chloe launched a fierce attack with all her might, but failed to defeat the enemy.

The blade she swung was easily caught by the mysterious woman with one hand.
