"I've become stronger than my predecessors."

The victors repeated the declaration they had just made.

"I see, I don't have to say it twice, do I?"

After lifting the transformation, Lu Liangxiang, whose body was crumbling, protested with a wry smile.

The barrier set up by the two for the battle was unraveled as the victory was decided, and she took out a plant seed-like object from the inside of her trench coat, approached Aoi Hoshikawa, and reached out her hand.

"This is what you're going to give me?"

Curious, she took the seed and looked closely at the sunlight.

"Well, but it's not complete yet."

Lu Liangxiang folded her hands in front of her chest, held out a round of orbs that emitted a red halo, and gently pushed it towards the other party.

As if receiving the last necessary irrigation, the dry seeds sprouted in the palms of the maiden, and quickly grew and thrived, turning into seven-colored flowers, the crimson petals belatedly blooming at the end, filling the only vacancy.

"Isn't this something like 'a container that stores all magical girls' souls'?"

Since he met Hoshikawa Aoi, Li Wu has also seen a lot of works on this theme, and Lu Liangxiang's actions just now made him have some bad ideals.

"How is it possible, don't take fiction seriously."

Lu Liangxiang, who looked no different from before, glanced at him, "This has nothing to do with the soul." ”

"Magical girls were born to fight against the outside world, and the weapon was forged based on the legend of the witch in the West, I don't know how Lilith thought when she created the first magical girl decades ago...... However, we had this possibility in mind at the beginning of the design. ”

She pointed to the phantom shadow of the magnificent petals reflected in the sunlight, the figures of women with indistinct faces and hair colors, who flickered around the center like flowers of different colors and gems.

How can you say it, it is reminiscent of the clan company, then Lu Liangxiang is a red warrior? Hoshikawa can only be a black warrior.

"It's about bringing together the power of each and leaving it to one person."

This even makes up for the team's unique combination design.

Hoshikawa Aoi's eyes widened in shock: "Wait, then everyone's transformation--and the Negative Realm Monster-"

"There are no more Negative Realm monsters."

Lu Liangxiang shook her head, "Xiaokui, you also noticed, right?" Since May, they appear less and less frequently. ”

At the beginning of the school year, she was often busy fighting off the enemies that appeared in Chiyo City, but after the events caused by Yuichi Uehara ended, there were almost no more invading wild negative realm monsters.

It seems that this is not a special phenomenon limited to Chiyo City.

"The individual you see in the Kuiper Belt is probably the last aggregate. So it's time for the Bureau of Countermeasures to be disbanded, and we're no longer magical girls - or we, as magical girls, have entrusted everything to you. ”

That's the real reason why the Bureau of Countermeasures would be willing to take their side.

In Li Wu's eyes, the text on her head became [Retired Magical Girl] at this moment.

Lu Liangxiang has lost the ability to transform again like a extinguished torch, and only the embers of the former magical girl remain in her body, so as not to lose her awareness of the supernatural side like ordinary people.

"We had a plenary meeting before I came to you, and the final result was this seed of hope that houses our strength and vision - I gave it the name, and it's completely reversed from "Magical Girl Little ○", which feels auspicious, right?"

But now that the seeds have sprouted and blossomed, they have completely turned into flowers of hope, and all of a sudden they have set up an ominous flag.

Li Wu swallowed silently and complained.

"Why are you completely hiding it from me......"

The only active magical girl in the world pursed her lips, a little down because she was suddenly instilled with an excessive amount of information.

She subconsciously reached out to the side and grabbed Li Wu's shoulder.

"Cheer up, didn't you just say that you were going to take over everyone's expectations?"

He patted her hand, "It's okay if you want to refuse now, return that thing to your seniors, and we'll go and blow up that oversized tentacle monster together." ”

"I didn't say I wanted to pay it back."

In the park, where only three people were present, Hoshikawa Aoi grabbed the rainbow-colored flower in her hand.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but actually, I don't think the responsibility should be borne by young people."

"Seniors, rely on the old and sell the old."

"Shut up and listen to me!"

Lu Liangxiang instantly revealed, "Is this kid really reliable?" "But your strength does surpass mine, and more importantly, during your stay in this city, you have found a trusted partner and a reliable partner." ”

"Didn't you just say that your boyfriend can't do it?"

Li Wu tried to regain his presence.

"Shut up too!"

She rubbed her temples with both hands as if her blood pressure had risen, "Anyway, I think it's okay to give this thing to you, you will definitely be able to use this power well; I also hope that Aoi will accept this gift and responsibility. ”

"Please borrow the power of the magical girls and completely annihilate the old enemies who have fought with us until now!"

The party that was the senior pleaded earnestly and bowed his head.

“…… Don't do this. ”

After a moment, Hoshikawa Aoi clenched her palms, "Didn't you say that when you used the analogy before, now it's like a script staged by Existential World Consciousness, Lilith and us?" ”

"If that's the case, I think it's also part of my fate to deal with that negative realm monster, whether it's as a magical girl to defeat a natural enemy, or as a lover to help Li Jun clear the obstacles in front of him."

She stepped forward and pressed Lu Liangxiang's shoulder.

"Please lend me your strength."

Except for the sun gradually moving westward and the cold wind rolling up the fallen leaves, only Li Wu witnessed this scene that seemed to be the inheritance of the old and the new.

After the magical girl and the former magical girl separated, Lu Liangxiang prepared to say goodbye to the two.

"I've finally retired, and I can't think of what to do for a while."

She raised the collar of her trench coat as if she was afraid of the cold, "I will wait for you to return safely first, and then I will seize the time to enjoy life, make up for the regrets of working hard as a magical girl, and maybe even fall in love." ”

"Senior, I don't think there's a conflict between being a magical girl and falling in love."

"I'm going to fight you again!"

She was held down on the forehead by Aoi Hoshikawa, who was quiet and waved at them, and turned to leave.

"I won't bother you...... Also, Wuyun is prosperous! ”

After walking a distance, the retired magical girl that Li Wu had only known in the pictures of his past memories turned around and shouted.

"Do you want to use it now?"

After only the two of them were present, Li Wu looked at his girlfriend.

She spread out her hand, and it was empty.

"I'll leave that negative monster to deal with."

Hoshikawa Aoi, who belongs to the "Use the pie as soon as you get the booster", made a request, "And when we come back, I'm going to set up a countermeasure bureau again and capture the seniors and everyone back to continue working." ”

"You black-hearted capitalist."

"Not really."

Hoshikawa Aoi clenched her fists again, feeling the unprecedented magical power in her body, almost diffusing into crystals.

"I'm a magical girl!"

She hugged his arm.

"So as long as you have fists, magic cannons, and love, you can defeat all enemies."
