She lowered her head, looking at the brooch pinned to her chest, utterly baffled: "Appearing in a strange place out of nowhere, getting attacked by monsters out of nowhere, being able to transform into a magical girl out of nowhere, not being scared at all out of nowhere, and even shooting and killing so many monsters."

She sank into thought: "Could it be that in my past life I was actually a cowboy or a police officer?"

Boom—

A strange sound came from somewhere in the distance.

Su Fang was momentarily stunned, then quickly stood up and looked toward the direction of the noise.

Then.

She saw an unbelievable sight.

Even though the black fog obstructed her view, the two specks of light—one silver and one red—were far too dazzling in the distance, like a sun and moon breaking through the darkness. As the two-colored light spread out, she could spot them at a glance.

"...Ah!"

Su Fang blinked, realizing something.

The two specks of light grew larger and larger, seemingly heading straight toward Su Fang's direction.

But... how strange.

She stood there in a daze, the two-colored shining stars reflected in her pupils.

If it had been her old self, hearing such a dangerous explosive sound, the first thing she would have done was find a place to hide or run away.

Why?

Su Fang just felt that... those two specks of light would never hurt her.

There was no trace of unease, no hint of unfamiliarity.

The specks of light rapidly magnified before her eyes, carrying a stirring melody as they pierced straight through this gloomy, dead silent forest.

The black fog in the forest, which had been so thick it almost swallowed all visible light, violently trembled under the fierce collision of two massive surges of magic power. Then, it churned and retreated inch by inch in all directions.

Her view suddenly opened up.

Su Fang finally saw the true forms behind those two specks of light.

They were two slender silhouettes, beautiful yet brimming with astonishing power.

One of them wore a lightweight silver armor, more pristine than moonlight, with beautiful silver wings spread behind her back. Her long silver hair danced wildly in the storm of magic power.

The other wore a passionate, fiery-red performance outfit, her figure agile and dazzling.

The two figures were like a pair of meteors streaking across the night sky, fully entangled and clashing in midair without holding back.

The two streams of magic—silver and red—constantly intertwined like splendid fireworks. Every collision between the phantom sword and the staff made the surrounding magic power resonate, sending visible turbulence rippling through the air.

Su Fang tilted her head up, her jade-green eyes reflecting this incredible scene of battle—something unimaginable for ordinary people—as an indescribably strange feeling slowly spread through her chest.

Silver was sharp and precise; red was blazing hot and agile.

Although they seemed to be opposing each other with fierce moves, to Su Fang, it felt like there was an unspoken harmony and familiarity between them.

So familiar.

Whether it was the silver-armored girl with the cold expression or the red-dressed girl with flames dancing in her eyes, at the very first glance, a strange sense of recognition welled up from the bottom of Su Fang's heart.

But.

At this moment, the aura of their fight—like a life-or-death struggle—and the ruthless offense and defense felt like a thorn suddenly taking root in her heart, making her feel an uncontrollable urgency... and sorrow.

Why?

Why did they have to fight?

This was absolutely not something that should be happening between them...

The surging emotions in her chest made Su Fang unconsciously grip the gem brooch on her chest.

However, just then.

The two stars in the sky suddenly seemed to erupt to their most intense point, as if putting an end to this battle that hadn't been long. They abruptly converged together.

Boom!!!

Light blossomed in the black-fog-shrouded sky.

And then—

The red meteor was knocked away, its brilliance abruptly dimming.

And the next moment, the silhouette within the silver meteor seemed to catch sight of the figure on the ground.

"Su Fang! Hold onto me tight!"

Her voice pierced through the roar of the battle, carrying far into the distance.

Before Su Fang's mind could fully process the meaning of those words, before she could even nod or raise her hand in response, a wave of phantom silver light, carrying a faint cool fragrance, rushed straight at her face.

The silver-haired girl broke through the limits of distance in an instant. Her wings flapped behind her as she charged to Su Fang's side like a silver bird.

A slender arm firmly wrapped around Su Fang's waist, lifting her up gracefully.

Without a moment's pause or hesitation, the silver-haired girl used the massive momentum from her charge, flapped her wings again, and took off, carrying Su Fang as she continued flying toward some direction.

"I'm a magical girl from the Association. My name is Airwen. I'm here to save you."

Su Fang heard the silver-haired girl's slightly cold voice by her ear.

The spirit outfit on her body was somewhat tattered, with obvious scorch marks from flames on her shoulder armor. Her silver wings, layered like an illusion behind her back, had her gaze locked firmly ahead. She spoke rapidly in quick instructions:

"The one chasing us is an enemy."

"Remember, no matter what she says next, absolutely don't believe her."

Enemy?

Su Fang instinctively tightened her arms around the other girl's shoulders.

Then, she couldn't help but turn her head, looking past the silver-haired girl's back toward the distance.

The red meteor that had been knocked away didn't give up as they pulled away. Instead, it chased after them with a desperate determination.

The distance was gradually shrinking.

This let Su Fang clearly see the red-haired girl in the performance outfit.

She was a stunningly beautiful girl, at most a year or two older than Su Fang herself. Her face was sweet, her features flawless, like the most beautiful idol imaginable.

If she smiled, even another girl like herself would probably feel her heart race.

But...

At this moment, there wasn't a trace of a smile on that girl's pretty face.

She didn't say a word. She just stared at Su Fang from across the void with those crimson eyes, burning like raging flames.

In those eyes, Su Fang saw not a hint of hostility—only a stubbornness so familiar it almost made her want to cry.

That stubbornness, as always, never changing.

Su Fang suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.

The pain manifested in her heart, yet it felt more like it came from the depths of her soul, unbearable even for a millisecond.

A firm conclusion took root in her heart: There must be some misunderstanding here.

That red girl could never, ever be an enemy.

Just as Su Fang's thoughts were churning, the red meteor behind her suddenly erupted with an astonishing burst of speed. The blazing red light flared up again, like a true meteor chasing the moon, on the verge of catching up to them.

But.

The next second.

Su Fang's eyes widened slightly.
