Magical Girl

On the snowy plain, the three of them fell silent for a long time.

"I think my power went out of control... and threw us back to some point in the past."

"What do we do?"

Thousand Blades looked around at the endless expanse of snow.

"Can you take us back now?"

Love shook her head helplessly.

The time jump had only happened because of a string of coincidences... She had used her power to rewind time and save Bubbles, while Scholar had forcibly activated the Magic Array to achieve her own goal. That had poured an enormous amount of Magic Power into Love's magic.

With her own power alone, Love probably couldn't make a time jump at all.

After fretting over it for a while, Love rubbed her brow.

"There's no point thinking about everything else right now. We can't stay here forever. We need to find people."

"There are Headquarters and so many Magical Girls across the country in the future. Things shouldn't fall apart just because a few of us are gone. The world was getting along fine before we came along, wasn't it?"

"I suppose, but..."

Knight held Bubbles in her arms, unable to hide the worry in her eyes.

In an unfamiliar place, it wasn't easy to set her nerves at rest.

"Anyway, let's get moving!"

Love made the call without further hesitation.

Finding signs of people from the northern snowfields was simple enough: they just had to head south.

If they kept going south, they would eventually come across people or a road. Follow a road, and they were bound to find a city or town.

As for the possibility that they had landed in a time before humans had left any trace...

Come on.

That would mean traveling back thousands of years.
