Volume Seven, Magic Autumn Finale Trilogy: Kanon: Take My Grand Resurrection Spell!

Stella did not explain herself to Shiori.

She turned, her gaze settling on Wu Huayin in the distance. Wu Huayin was watching the battlefield too, but she could not join the fight.

Butterflies scattered. When they gathered again, Stella appeared beside Wu Huayin.

"Why are you still standing there?"

Those were Stella's first words to Wu Huayin.

The tall, black-haired girl looked lost. She turned to Stella and made a confused sound.

"...Huh?"

"Don't 'huh' me. You still have something to do." Stella spoke calmly. "You haven't used your resurrection magic yet, have you?"

"That's right. As you are now, you can't," Stella agreed.

Wu Huayin said, "Then I..."

"But that doesn't mean you still can't after unlocking a new form."

Stella did not answer, but her silence confirmed Wu Huayin's guess.

"N-no... I can't... I haven't built up enough strength... Besides, even if I activate Shining 2..."
