âYou have a crush on that Wu Yan guy or something?â
âHah?â
Rin shrieked.
âIf youâre mentally ill, go to a doctor. Donât tag along, you will only be a liability.â
âOh?â
Luvia, clearly offended, started grinning sarcastically.
âAs expected of a sharp-tongued monkey, even when youâre alreadyâŚâ
âYou.â
Rin gave her a sinister smile.
âDo you want to die?â
âAra araâŚ.â
Luvia shrugged.
âPlease, if I die then who is going to host your wedding?â
The two ladies started bickering again.
âSeriouslyâŚâ
Illya grabbed Ruby.
âSome things never change. We are going to fight for the last card and they still canât put aside their differences. I am so glad we abandoned them at the start.â
âAt least, both can still work together in serious fights.â
Sapphire chimed in.
âNee-san, stop mocking them, we are better than this, we are going for the last card after all.â
âRight, Rin and Luvia-nee are equally reliable in tough situations.â
Illya blinked her eyes in confusion.
âBut, what did she mean by wedding?â
âA weddingâŚâ
Miyu looked like she was troubled.
âWith Wu-Yan-niiâŚâ
âNn? Whatâs wrong?â
âNothing.â
Against the last Heroic Spirit, they were rightfully anxious.
This banter served to dispel their worries for now.
â3 minutes left.â
Luvia grumbled.
âIn any case, this is too late even for them,â
âWellâŚâ
Ruby twirled around.
âThe best is always saved for the last.â
âYou mean we are just warm-ups for the Hero?â
Rin grumbled.
âI know where youâre coming from but it still pisses me off.â
âWhen the time comes, we enter.â
Luvia closed her pocket watch.
âWe have no obligations to wait for latecomers, especially our rivalsâŚâ
âWho says weâre late?â
Wu Yanâs booming voice echoed throughout the top of the building.
Winds assaulted them as the four ladies closed their eyes.
When the storm died down, 3 individuals appeared in front of them.
âSorry.â
Wu Yan wore his standard black shirt and pants combo while Hinagiku and Mikoto were in Miko costumes.
âWe were delayed by certain rituals, I am glad we made it in time.â
âItâs rude to make ladies wait for you.â
Luvia crossed her arms.
âBe courteous of otherâs time.â
âSorry.â
He laughed.
âThere wonât be a next time, after tonightâŚâ
âYan-nii!â
The two young girls greeted him. They looked at Hinagiku and Mikoto with weird looks.
âWhy are there in Miko costumes?â
Rin asked.
âYour weird hobby?â
âDonât call it weird and itâs not my hobby.â
Mikoto looked grudgingly at Wu Yan.
âI donât know why he chose this.â
âItâs convenient in a fight, not too restrictive.â
Hinagiku said.
âBut, I am sure there were better choices, right?â
âWell.â
He looked the other way.
âI just did it subconsciously.â
âIn any case, I donât care if itâs your hobby or for combat. We stop chatting.â
âOne minute until midnight.â
The fighters turned serious.
âOne more thing.â
Wu Yan said.
âThis enemy we are going to face is very powerful.â
The others waited for him to explain.
They were expecting a strong foe, whatâs more for him to point out?
âI am not going to sugarcoat this.â
He continued.
âIf you think youâre going to lose, retreat immediately.â
âThis isnât advice.â
He roamed his sharp gaze over everyone.
âThis is a warning!â
Then, he started charging up to connect his location with the Mirror World.
Rin & co also knew it wasnât time to ask for clarification.
âRuby!â
âSapphire!â
Illya and Miyu ordered.
âConnect!â
The iridescent light covered the top of the building.
The Mirror World is a product of the Heroic Spiritâs leaked energy and the environment of magic leakage.
Whenever a spirit is defeated, the Mirror World will decrease in size.
Other than the last card, all 6 classes were defeated. The Mirror World isnât as big as Fuyuki City anymore.
The night sky reflected the moonlight like a Kaleidoscope.
With the dark environment lit up crystalline protrusions, it was like they were transported into an urban mine.
They appeared at the top of the tallest building.
In an instant, Wu Yan felt his heart tightening. He sensed something coming for them.
