Liuzi had gone off to carry out a "suicide mission" behind SpiCa's back.
Although she had sworn that the success rate wasn't zero, I still didn't think she was capable of luring the agent back.
If we had to put a number on the possibility, it was probably no more than one percent, right?
All things considered, as long as nothing unexpected happened, this operation would achieve its intended goal of forcing the Magical Girls into a hard battle. Even if A-Liu truly completed this impossible mission, I could still consider the follow-up plans.
I did feel somewhat indebted to SpiCa, though.
But it was fine. We would compensate her in the end... by making her the predetermined winner.
Terra mocked me within my consciousness:
"You're talking as if we've already got everything under control."
"We have to do it even if we can't. Since we're playing the hidden sixth man, it's bound to be difficult. After all, being the traitor is the hardest role to play...
Come to think of it, you've joined my side? What about Earth Crystal's neutral stance?"
When I asked that, Terra answered with sophistry:
"I only joined you in a personal capacity, but I'll still fulfill my duties as an observer~ I'll keep public and private matters completely separate and never overstep!"
What flexible principles. Where had this imperial envoy come from?
After watching Liuzi leave in her new armor, Xiao Yi and I returned to the command center.
"SpiCa, have Phoenix come back first."
When I said that, she still hadn't realized the severity of the situation and refuted me without turning around.
"How could she come back? The effect of that Time Stasis move is your magic, isn't it? Did someone from Enheria dig the Sirius Crystal out of the Dark Seal?"
