Midnight Princess, Cinderella

London was unusually quiet at night. One by one, people wearing green plaid shawls flew and moved silently through the streets. They were members of the management team, searching for the danger their captain had conveyed.

Although they didn't know how the captain knew about the impending danger, in wartime, they had to obey Captain Harry Sack's orders, no matter how many complaints they had.

"Sawada-sensei, are you sure you feel right?"

On the phone, Harry Sack's somewhat weary voice came through. He had mobilized the entire management team to search, but they hadn't received any reliable information.

"Captain Harry, believe it or not, my intuition is always terrifyingly accurate."

Hearing Tsuna's serious tone, Harry Sack had no choice but to believe Tsuna's unsubstantiated claim and continue urging the team to search for signs of danger.

However, the team members didn't notice that after they flew through the alley, a hairless, pointed-beaked reptile swiftly swept past—it was a chick-like creature that Haschwalth had let in.

This phantom, using the partial ability of Haschwalth to move through shadows in the darkness, roamed the streets and alleys, and not a single member of the management team could detect it.

And it gradually chased after its goal, the bright disc in the sky.

Not far from it stood a towering crane, a structure specifically designed for constructing high-rise buildings. The chick-like creature climbed the crane upwards, trying to get as close as possible to the bright moon hanging in the sky.

The second hand of Big Ben slowly turns, eventually causing the minute and hour hands to overlap, marking midnight. The deep, melodious chimes of the clock resound throughout London.

It was at this moment that the chick climbing the tower crane began to undergo a transformation. Its body grew larger and larger, and feathers gradually grew on its originally featherless body. Its weak and powerless eyes gradually became sharp.

This towering crane is like a staircase for its ascent and transformation; with each step it takes, its body evolves.

A beautiful tail feather quietly appeared, its wings were adorned with pretty skirt-like patterns, and most importantly, a golden crown formed on its head.

Stepping onto the top of the crane, it undergoes a complete transformation, its main color being white, its overall shape resembling a bird with four claws and a pointed beak, yet possessing beautiful wings.

The graceful and beautiful way she leaps from the tower crane is like a princess who has wandered away from a palace, exuding a powerful and elegant aura from within.

Its spiritual pressure gradually increased until its body, with its wings spread wide, overlapped with the bright moon in the sky, and its spiritual pressure reached its peak!

At that moment, no one in the management team complained anymore; everyone saw that noble and elegant figure in the sky.

Some of the academically gifted members were already trembling. They couldn't believe their captain was referring to this danger—"It! It's Cinderella!"

"What? Cinderella!"

The member's words were transmitted to the ears of every member via a signal: Cinderella is the protagonist of the fairy tale Cinderella, which means that the dragon that covered most of the moon is the ancestor of evil dragons, one of the seven Fairy Tale Dragon, Cinderella!

"Cinderella?" Tsuna stood up, looking at the dragon standing shoulder to shoulder with the moon. "Riding a pumpkin carriage at midnight and transforming into a noble princess, does the Fairy Tale Dragon also evolve while chasing the midnight moonlight? Interesting."

"Interesting" is Tsuna's assessment. Back in Karakura Town, he had already defeated a Fairy Tale Dragon named Bubble, who was on par with Cinderella, but his reaction was far less dramatic than that of the Manager Team members.

"Sawada-sensei, please cover for me and protect London. I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

Harry Sack's voice came from the phone in his chest pocket, followed by a busy signal. Harry Sack had hung up. As one of the captains of the West Bureau, he had to step forward to face the Fairy Tale Dragon.

Tsuna noticed that in the darkness, a figure was climbing towards the night sky. He had removed his upper body clothing, revealing complex fluorescent patterns on his body. The patterns converged on his body to form a giant dragon the Roar towards the sky.

That was the light of magic. Harry Sack imprinted magic onto his body, using an unconventional method to achieve a physical body no less powerful than that of Dragon Rider.

Harry Sack didn't have any dragons as companions, but he knew almost all the dragons in London because he had bought Dragon Blood from them.

Using Dragon Blood as the base material for magic, one can construct a dragon-shaped magic circle on their body. The more intricate the dragon patterns and the richer the lines, the greater their power.

Harry Sack had almost reached the end of this road. He had earned his captaincy through hard work and skill, and his knowledge of all the dragons in London and his strong interpersonal skills had earned him the title of captain of the management team.

Right now, Harry Sack is attacking Cinderella in the sky as if he were walking on air, using his powerful physical body to trample on the tiny Reishi in the air.

Cinderella, enjoying the midnight moonlight, didn't notice the tiny Harry Sack. Suddenly, Harry Sack leaped to Cinderella's chin.

By the time Cinderella noticed the sudden explosion in front of her, it was too late.

Harry Sack's right arm flashed with sharp claw-like features, and he punched Cinderella in the chin.

Like being slapped by a dragon, Cinderella, who was looking beautiful under the moonlight, was suddenly overturned by Harry Sack.

As expected of magic comparable to dragon armor, the magic on Harry Sack's arm was suddenly imbued with the power of Dragon Claws.

As Cinderella was knocked over, countless stardust fell from her body, sparkling and beautiful, just like her princess status.

However, this beauty was tinged with a suffocating danger. One of the stardust pieces drifted down in front of Harry Sack. Just as he was captivated by the beauty, an intense sense of crisis arose deep within his heart.

Just as Harry Sack raised his hand to shield himself, a violent explosion erupted before him, the shockwave emanating from the crystal-like beauty that Cinderella had showered upon him.

With a thud, Harry Sack was blasted from the sky. Even with magical protection, he suffered extensive burns all over his body, and the intense pain made it difficult for him to maintain his freefall.

But Harry Sack was clearly more concerned about his physical condition than his own; he remembered that Cinderella had scattered far more than just the one in front of him.

As he knocked it over, countless beautiful stars fell from its wings; if each stardust were a high-explosive bomb...

London is doomed!

Despite the pain, Harry Sack struggled frantically, unsure of the effect of his actions, but as captain, he had to do something.

But reality is often contrary to expectations. As Harry Sack struggled, he suddenly found himself being held upside down and grabbed by a force that was no less than his strength in his dragon form.

A familiar voice made Harry Sack stop struggling.

"Don't worry, Uncle, everything will be fine in London." An upside-down face appeared in front of Harry Sack —it was Ichigo Kurosaki grinning with his teeth showing.

The instant Harry Sack was blasted away, Uryū used the force of a complete reversal to switch his position with Harry Sack. Unlike Harry Sack's brute strength, Uryū was able to easily stand in the air using the Hirenkyaku.

Harry Sack, who had been teleported there, was captured by Chad. When Chad put Harry Sack down, the intense thunder attracted Harry Sack's attention.

The boy named Sawada Tsunayoshi had somehow gotten into wearing a helmet with bull horns and magnetic coils, and a shield decorated with bull horns was stuck in the floorboards in front of him.

Lightning transformed into magnetism, attracting the surrounding iron sand to condense into six enormous horns. Tsuna placed these six iron horns around the shield, and at that moment, the bull horns, along with Lambo's Shield, became a device to guide the Lightning Attribute flames.

Harry Sack vaguely heard Tsuna murmur, "To become a lightning rod, to bear the damage alone..."

The terrifying green spiritual pressure condensed on the two horns of Tsuna's helmet, not wasting a single drop, and poured entirely into the shield.

Using the shield as a conduit, Lightning Attribute flames bloomed from Tsuna's center, spreading across London in an instant at the speed of light.

After the lightning flashed, it seemed as if the surfaces of all the buildings in London were covered by a semi-transparent green spiderweb.

The next moment, enormous fireballs erupted in London, fueled by the energy released from the stardust scattered by Cinderella. Had Tsuna been even a fraction slower, at least half of London would have been destroyed in this catastrophe.

Now, with the most robust Lightning Attribute flames as protection, no matter how many and scattered the bombs were in London, Tsuna managed to defend them perfectly.

"Thank you, Sawada-sensei. On behalf of London, I extend my sincere gratitude to you," Harry Sack said, barely managing to stand up.

The burns on his body still caused his mouth to twitch, but Harry Sack had to kill Cinderella as soon as possible. If Cinderella continued to cause trouble like this, he didn't know how long Sawada Tsunayoshi could protect London.

Glancing at Harry Sack's injuries, Tsuna said, "I'm sorry, Captain Harry, but in order to maintain the lightning protection, I'm unable to treat you for the time being."

"It doesn't matter. From the day I became captain, I was prepared to dedicate everything to London!"

Harry Sack threw away his shattered sunglasses and was about to dashingly go after Cinderella when Tsuna stopped him.

"Captain Harry, aren't you a bit too compatible with Cinderella?"

Harry Sack paused for a moment. He was mainly a one-on-one melee fighter, and he really couldn't handle a dragon Cinderella that could unleash large-scale explosions at any time.

Even so, I cannot allow it to wreak havoc in London...

"Let us go. Ichigo and Uryū are more suitable than you for large-scale attacks." Since there were more suitable candidates on the scene, Tsuna felt there was no need to send Harry Sack; it would be a waste of time and there was no guarantee of victory.

"Them?"

Although he had witnessed Ichigo and Uryū's attacks on the other captains, Harry Sack believed that Ichigo's strength was at most about the same as his own, and Harry Sack felt somewhat embarrassed to send two young men who had come from afar to charge into battle.

"Don't worry, uncle, I'll protect London!"

Ichigo gave a thumbs-up, left a bright smile, and then leaped into the night sky.
