Illya walked along an eerily quiet street with a scarf around her neck.

As a cold gust brushed past her, she trembled like a tragic heroine. Anyone would pity her current situation.

“I thought I was past the point of continuously sacrificing sweet sleeping time…”

Illya complained out loud.

“Why me?!!!”

“Illya…”

Ruby enjoyed her Mistress’ plight as she gleefully pointed out.

“This is all for you, don’t screw it up.”

“Uuu…”

Illya choked on her complaints.

“The Mahou Shoujos in TV made it look so easy. Maybe I am just bad at my job.”

“Why would you say that?”

Ruby asked.

“Illya is a good magical girl.”

“Huh?”

Illya was happy to hear Ruby taking her side for once.

“This is out on a limb but, why did you say that?”

“Well!”

Ruby explained.

“You’re cute! Magical girls just need to be quick! We can forget about your other shortcomings. Illya’s perfect for the job!”

“I Knew it…”

Illya deflated like a popped balloon.

“It was my fault for even asking.”

Ruby and Illya strolled along the street while chatting with one another.

A few individuals peeked from around the corner.

“This feels…”

Hinagiku turned her head the other way.

“Wrong, we are looking at a little girl shivering in the cold.”

“Poor Illya…”

Mikoto chimed in.

“Looks cold…”

“Nah, Ruby can supply her mana and keep her away from hypothermia even if it’s heavily snowing.”

Rin said.

“Cold and walking around the streets for 3 hours alone, given the choice, I would prefer being cold.”

“More importantly.”

Sapphire analyzed.

“Illya is cold and walked around the streets alone for hours on end.”

The others pitied Illya’s situation.

“Why are we out here looking at her again?”

“Eh?”

Mikoto looked at Luvia.

“Aren’t you friends with her? You should be helping her when she is in need.”

“Okay, I get that.”

Luvia pursed her lips.

“We could have done this operation the next day. Why did we choose tonight to catch the tanned Illya?”

“Tomorrow won’t do.”

Miyu answered.

“We should not give tanned Illya another chance to harm Illya. We must catch Kuro.”

“You girls are too serious about this whole thing.”

Luvia said.

“Seriously, I still have a house to rebuild…”

“Shush it, I don’t want to hear you complaining about your mansion.”

Rin said.

“We dragged Illya and Miyu into this mess. Plus, we haven’t reported this to the Magic Association. If we couldn’t catch Kuro, things are not going to be pretty when the old foggies find out about the mess we have on our hands.”

Luvia turned silent.

“Look, the kid isn’t grumbling, why are you making a fuss about this?”

Mikoto scouted Illya’s area for her.

“We will both benefit from catching Kuro. Now, get your head in the game.”

“Okay…”

Luvia sighed.

“But, is she going to fall for such a simple trick?”

“If she wants Illya, this is the perfect chance.”

Miyu’s eyes burned with passion.

“It’s fine, I will protect Illya no matter what happens.”

“Miyu-sama…”

Sapphire retorted.

“I am concerned about the level of care you’re showing Illya.”

“Anyway…”

Rin grinned.

“The bait is in the water. Now, we wait…”

Mikoto’s bangs fired a small flicker of static electricity.

“She’s here.”

A dark silhouette streaked across the sky like a bat swooping down on its prey.

Then, something cut through the air in Illya’s direction.

“Don’t even think about it.”

Mikoto spread her arms as waves of EM went into the ground.

Pulling the iron in the ground, she whipped the projectile away.

It was a dark arrow.

The Iron sand shattered the arrow.

“Illya!”

They tried to cover Illya from all sides.

“Yeah, I didn’t think it would that easy either.”

The dark silhouette revealed herself.

“Morning, Onee-sans…”

The assassin introduced herself.

“Oops, it’s late, so, maybe good night?”

Her red and black outfit gave her away. Kuro stared at the defenders with her amber eyes. The cold black and white swords in her hand told everyone she means business.

She looked like Illya’s identical twin.

“You!”

Illya entered her Mahou Shoujo mode.

“You’ve finally shown yourself!”

“I knew you wouldn’t have the guts to wander around in the streets at night.”

Kuro shrugged.

“Was this a trap?”

“Kuro, I presume?”

Hinagiku pointed her blade at her.

“Yan told me about you.”

“Onii-chan did?”

Kuro gave them a genuine smile of happiness.

“That makes me happy.”

“But…”

Mikoto brushed her bangs.

“He is not too happy with what you tried to pull the other day.”

“Well, I am sure he would forgive me…”

Kuro grinned.

“After killing that annoying brat over there. I will go prostrate and apologize to Onii-chan.”

“You think we would let you do that?”

Miyu raised her wand.

“We might not win in a straightforward fight but we have Yan-nii’s two lady friends, do you think you can win?”

“I am not a fan of lynching a kid. But…”

Rin stared Kuro down.

“You should still quietly surrender.”

“Oh?”

Kuro laughed sarcastically.

“No, I am not thinking about winning. DId you forget something? I am here to…”

Kuro did a rapid dash before leaping at Illya. Her twin swords were like the fangs of a viper.
