A Fox's Logic

"Winged Folk Shasha—her original name was too long, so I won't read it."

"Place of birth—why is this still so long? Let's just call it Sparrow Village."

"One of the survivors rescued from Sparrow Village by Kun City's Song Yan team. With the consent of her father and herself, arrangements were recently made for her to transfer to Rongcheng Hero Association Affiliated Academy."

"I handled her file. I remember this child."

A little later.

After Meteor sent the two people from out of town, who had been temporarily called in to help, back home, the heroes gathered in the Rongcheng Association office for an in-depth discussion.

Scarlet Snow carefully flipped through the copy in her hands, pinching her chin with her small fingers as she sank into thought.

Then she turned her gaze toward Hyacinth and Dandelion.

"Following that logic, Hyacinth, you and this child named Shasha are friends, right?"

"Mm, at least that's what I think." Hyacinth nodded rapidly.

"Then that makes things much easier."

Scarlet Snow let out a long breath, as though her worries had finally found a secure place to settle.

But Hyacinth still looked tense.

A Star Realm Behemoth? That was no pushover. It took multiple Magical Girl teams, or even several Shadows of the Stars, just to barely handle one. The destruction it caused would be utterly devastating.

Jörmungandr alone had damaged Harbor City so badly that the repairs still had not been fully completed.

"Senior, why does this have anything to do with Shasha?" Hyacinth pressed. "Shasha is just an ordinary girl. If there's anything special about her, it's only—"

"Only that she has outstanding magical talent, right?"

Scarlet Snow said what Hyacinth had wanted to say first. Hyacinth's eyes widened, and after stammering for a while, she could only nod in agreement.
