Defending Miluno

(Miluno)

The roar of a heavy motorcycle engine grew louder as it approached, the headlights of the motorcycle like Thunderous Resonance, dressed in a blue dress, rode her beloved motorcycle with a dashing entrance, even knocking away a Monster was trying to ambush her along the way.

It's cool and stylish, but I don't know what she was thinking wearing sunglasses so late at night...

The motorcycle sped through the sea of fire in the middle of the road, drifted to a stop in front of us, leaving a tire track on the asphalt. She flipped off the motorcycle, clutching her helmet, and flashed us a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha! Are you all alright? This castle with no doors or windows that suddenly appeared gave me quite a fright... Hey, what's with the witch?"

So, does that area also resemble a castle from the outside?

I explained, "She is Mono. She left her own Base Body at the City School and didn't bring it with her. Without a body, it's inconvenient for her to move around. We just killed a witch, so she used the other woman's Base Body first... Anyway, they're both alive and have all their limbs intact."

"Can Witch Persona freely change bodies?"

"Generally speaking, that wouldn't work, but she's a special case."

I nodded in response, then added, "Oh, right, a van should have taken three wounded people Past..."

Thunderous Resonance nodded.

"Oh, there was a Wuling Hongguang that drifted into the school gate, dropped off the injured person, and sped off again. It was going really fast; we couldn't stop it."

"... That's it."

But after leaving the wounded, did Gong Ling also run away?

Whether it's the Proxy or Gong Ling, as Sun Ji's insiders, they didn't play a role in advancing this operation; in fact, they even helped us. Perhaps this really was an unilateral action by the "Supreme Council."

After all, raising the Corruption Rate all at once wouldn't fit Sun Ji's plan.

Ceruno asked, "Quanyin- nee, how's the situation at the shelter? Are you under pressure to defend it?"

The shelter... that's the middle school we saw earlier.

Magical girls from all directions, leading the people who couldn't evacuate in time, gathered at the town's high school on the edge of the barrier, eventually forming a temporary base.

But this is just a school after all, and it won't be easy for it to withstand the invasion of Monster.

There are frictions, but the issue hasn't been resolved yet.

Lin Quanyin replied, "We can barely hold them off with the magical girls we've gathered, but those Monsters and witches are also closing in. The enemy isn't in a hurry to attack; instead, they're ambushing you magical girls who have come to join us around the stronghold. We're outnumbered, so it's difficult for us to go out and provide support... However, by taking down that witch, you've eliminated the threat to this main road."

Is it really clean?

During the conversation, several more furtive figures appeared in our field of vision...

Do these burly Monster really think they can hide behind mailboxes and lampposts?

However, they dared not come over.

Not far away, the charred remains of the Monster were still emitting black smoke. And it wasn't just the Monster's remains... the entire street and the buildings along it were smoking and burning! What happened to being able to control the range of explosions after advancing?

This horrific scene was most likely the result of Phoenix's dive bombing. In my opinion, calling the fusion of Heat Haze and Falcon Phoenix is not impressive enough; their combined form should be called Magical Girl B-52.

As a deterrent, the few Monster scattered in the distance dared not approach rashly.

"Those Monster are surrounding us again? But there are too many of us, so they don't dare come any closer."

Ceruno, who was in charge of reconnaissance, hugged Mono in the Wolf Woman's Base Body, rubbing against her as he said:

"However, staying here will only attract other witches sooner or later. Considering Ceruno's value, wouldn't it be better for us to head to the base before things get complicated?"

Ceruno, nestled in her arms, also raised her hand and whispered:

"Send me to the edge of the barrier; perhaps I can open it and evacuate the civilians and wounded, and also bring in reinforcements..."

"Wait, you can open the barrier?"

Lin Quanyin stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"Um..."

Seeing Ceruno nod timidly, Lin Quanyin was overjoyed and quickly jumped onto the motorcycle.

"Get in the car! I'll take you there now. The rest of you, go and help defend the outpost!"

"Oh."

Ceruno glanced at me, pressed down on her skirt, climbed onto the back of the motorcycle, and then put on her rabbit helmet.

"Then I'll go to the base with Quanyin- nee first?"

I nodded and then asked:

"By the way, is SpiCa at the base?"

Lin Quanyin put on her motorcycle helmet and replied:

"No! I haven't found her yet... Bai Ze is still in charge of the operations at the base, so we're leaving now! You guys take your time coming over!"

Two girls, one wearing a blue dress and the other a pink and white dress, sat one in front of the other on a beast-like heavy motorcycle. The combination was very... incongruous. Lin Quanyin revved the engine and sped away.

But SpiCa still hasn't arrived?

SpiCa arrived in the North Suburbs the moment the wormhole appeared; she must have been enveloped by this enormous Witch Domain.

If SpiCa is stationed at the temporary outpost, there's a possibility of defeating a larger force with a smaller one...

That's what I was thinking, but the little thing grinned and said with a smug look on its face:

"Her in charge? That Miss SpiCa is always getting outmaneuvered by the other side! She's already mobilized so many magical girls, but the enemy they've sent is even bigger... And she wants to use a scattered encirclement, fifty people surrounding two hundred? Ha! Isn't that ridiculous?"

While I disagree with SpiCa's handling of certain matters, the current disadvantages cannot be entirely attributed to SpiCa.

Even in my opinion, a response team of fifty magical girls is already quite impressive.

I therefore refuted this.

"That giant pillar is the enemy's shuttle pod, capable of breaking through the world's rules and bringing in a large number of enemies at once. We've never heard of anything like it before, so it's normal that we were caught off guard... Moreover, it's thanks to her transferring more people from the City School; otherwise, the magical girls that Skyreach City could gather would have been wiped out by now, right?"

We know far too little about "the Other Side," yet "the Other Side" has Sun Ji as an advisor, so the Supreme Council knows quite a bit about us as well.

This information gap means that whenever the situation changes, we can only react passively. Although SpiCa tries its best to extract information from the witches, the witches created by magical girls are excluded from the council, and they know very little about the movements of "the Other Side"...

SpiCa must not be harmed.

I pushed the tiger-striped catgirl towards Phoenix and said:

"Heat Haze, take Tiger Cub to the stronghold and deal with those Monsters are getting close."

Although she still didn't understand the situation, upon hearing that she could fight Monster, Tiger Cub picked up her long-handled hammer with great enthusiasm.

"Call me Phoenix! And you? Where are you planning to go this time?"

"Mono and I will find a way to locate SpiCa. Regardless of whether we need command, we cannot lose her."

At this critical juncture, what if something unexpected happens to SpiCa...?

Only the Sirius Association remains to be seen, and its fate is still unknown.
