The magical power that Arin shot at me surges in.

Well, I knew this would happen.

It wraps its body around its tail, which it had pointed at her, and uses it as a shield to block attacks.

By slightly flowing magic power into the tail.

To an appropriate level of magical power concentration that Arin fired.

Because I have to make myself look weak.

You have to be pushed back a bit, otherwise Arin might really give up.

While I was at it, I even pretended to be a bit taken by surprise and embarrassed.

“Ugh… Haa, is this a surprise attack?”

“… ! This… ?”

“Why is that? Isn’t it normal to never let your guard down even when you’ve neutralized an opponent?”

“Haa, really… !”

With those words, I simply used my tail to block Arin, who was charging at me with a scythe.

If you evade here, the child’s motivation that was ignited will disappear.

Arin attacks the tail that protects me with a scythe.

The tail, already strengthened with magic power, deflected all of Arin’s attacks.

Instead, I made it so that you can feel some of the backlash, but if you keep pushing like this, you’ll end up against a wall.

It’s a good idea to check out Arin’s attacks when she’s this close.

At first, he swung it while thinking, but since it didn’t break through, he just swung it without thinking.

This shouldn’t be done like this.

He glances at Blanc, who was watching everything from the stands.

Now that it’s done, can we end it?

I got the feeling that it was okay to end it.

Now it’s almost over…

Ah, before I knew it, I was pushed back against the wall and couldn’t move, so I was just attacked.

But, even though I kept giving Arin an opening, I couldn’t take advantage of it and just kept swinging my sword blindly.

“Come on! Break through! Ugh… !”

“If you say that to a villain, are you saying that it will weaken his defenses or something? Is this the best you can do?”

“Almost… done…!”

“Almost everything.”

During Arin’s indiscriminate attacks, one of them slipped, kicked the ground, and jumped upward.

And then, just like that, it glided into the sky.

“This is the last one. Pour all your strength into me. Come in with the intent to kill. Think of it as the last one, pour it out so hard that you fall down. Who knows if it will touch this hat?”

“Haa… Haa… ”

“Then, come in.”

The magical energy flowing through Arin is gathered in one place.

No, to be exact, he gathered them together with his legs and his own weapons.

I’m preparing to charge in for the final blow.

Hmm, I should let you know that you can surprise them during the preparation process.

Anyway, it’s okay to tell you that later.

Arin, who was ready, kicked the ground and flew up to reach me.

And then he cut me down with a scythe filled with magical power.

Arin, who cuts down like a scythe to remove weeds and eventually falls due to lack of magic power.

The tough, uncut vines caught her as she fell.

Then he took Arin and approached Blanc, who was upstairs, and left Arin with him, asking how the duel went.

“How was it? They were very considerate.”

“Do you know how hard it is to look after someone? How delicate it is to control that power.”

“The child might be upset with you a lot.”

“It was something that had to be done at least once. Vaccination. Do you know how important it is to know in advance before you get hurt more?”

“Because it’s Arin who’s judging. When you wake up, take a good look at me.”

“Um, what should I do if he throws a punch at me as soon as I wake up?”

“You have to hit it.”

“Ah, I won, but… ”

“That’s different from this. Since you brought it all on yourself, you should take all the blame, right?”

“Ugh… I suddenly feel like I did something a little rough… ”

“Since you decided to do it. I’ll put Arin in the break room, so can you stay and watch her for a bit?”

“Just passing the buck… ”

So I decided to take Arin to the break room with Blanc and sit next to her.

Arin, whose transformation was canceled due to lack of magic power, was sleeping with a very relaxed expression on her face.

I also took off my hat and looked after Arin.

Blanc sent me footage taken by the cameras installed in the training grounds, so I waited for Arin to wake up while analyzing it.

Arin is more important than Blanc and Dalian.

Blanc said he was going to leave me next to Arin and go prepare the training grounds.

No, I think I went to ask the association president if he would like to attend.

While I was taking care of Arin, a crybaby and a redhead came to where Arin was.

We both came a little excited.

“Is the child okay? Oh, it’s raining?”

“Oh, I was watching. Here, sit down.”

“No. Seohyun, do you want to sit down?”

“No, sis. Just sit on the bed next to you.”

“Haa, okay. I guess I didn’t do it too badly, did I?”

“I could never do anything bad to a child. I did it while controlling my strength. I’m still fainting for a moment due to lack of magic power, but I’ll wake up soon.”

“Haa… I came running because Yunseul said you knocked down Arin.”

“Why is the redhead next to you here?”

“Me? I was going to watch Arin’s training, but it’s already over.”

“Hmm, isn’t it Blanc and I’s turn to fight next anyway? Why don’t you watch that with Arin?”

“That’s what I’m going to do.”

The crybaby who was stroking Arin’s head asked me.

“I was worried when Arin asked you to spar with her, but do you think it’s okay?”

“I wonder who I should base my words on.”

“I would say it was poor by your standards. Compared to magical girls of this age.”

“A magical girl of Arin’s level… I’ve experienced a few, but she’s the best among them. But she still has a lot of shortcomings. Well, if I were to put it nicely, she’s a girl with a lot of potential for growth. If I were to put it badly, she’s just pathetic, right?”

“Hmm, I see… So you said you’d take care of Arin’s training from now on.”

“I wish Arin wouldn’t go to battle, but she’s a magical girl. Then, I have no choice but to develop her abilities as much as possible..”

“The child is pitiful… ”

“Well, I’m planning on having a duel between you and Arin. But before that, shouldn’t I check out your skills?”

When I tell them that I’m going to spar with them, the crybaby is the first to freak out.

“What? I, I’m sorry, but isn’t this a little difficult…? Haha… ”

“What’s so hard? It’s something that needs to be done. Shouldn’t you get the vaccinations that the children got?”

“Could it be a solo exhibition…?”

“Of course. We need to find out their skills, but what kind of group subjugation is this? Since we’re here, let’s set a date and go.”

“Hmm! I don’t think I’ll have time… ? Association work or business trips… Haha… ”

“You’re saying that I should consult with the association president. Then you, the redhead.”

“Huh? I have to take care of Arin… Haha… ”

“You too, anytime is fine. Okay. Let’s schedule it after Arin’s training.”

Okay, that’ll work out.

Take a look at your schedule on your phone’s calendar.

Hmm, this is going to be a tough day…

The crybaby said as he saw me looking like that.

“Ah, no! Okay, wait a minute!”

“Why are you like that? Are you afraid of fighting me?”

“Oh, no! That’s not it… !”

“Or, stand up and fight. I will fight you in the same uniform.”

“By the way, Binnie, what are those clothes you wore?”

“I guess I should call you insensitive for noticing this. Really.”

The redhead in the next bed, who looked at me in surprise when I suddenly had a sparring schedule, seemed to have noticed it only now.

“What are you looking at? It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve seen these clothes.”

Even though these clothes are a little damaged, I wore them because I thought they would be good for getting into the right frame of mind when sparring.

Hmm, why are you so surprised?

“No, where did you get those clothes…?”

“Didn’t you go to the association president and the confiscated goods warehouse? You were there at the time. I had it repaired and wore it with Blanc.”

“Ahh… Then what about the burned part… ”

“Red hair, the part you burned. Why, are you glad to see me after such a long time?”

“Ahh… ”

As the break room became noisy with various conversations, Arin got up.

“Ugh… Huh… ?”

“Oh, are you awake?”

“Ugh! Rain, it’s raining, sis!”

As soon as I woke up, I pushed down the dog that was trying to attack me with its sore body with its tail and carefully approached Arin.

“How about that, what happened earlier? Do you remember a little bit?”

“Uh, uh… ?”

“Arin, how many are these?”

Is there something wrong with your cognitive function or is it that you can’t speak?

He held out three fingers to Arin.

“three, three outlines… ”

“Hmm, it’s normal. Are you okay?”

First, I released the tail that was holding Arin back.

Well, I won’t attack any more.

After the hands that had been restraining her were released, Arin, who had been feeling a little better, explained her condition.

“Ahh… My whole body feels a bit sagging… ”

“That’s because you used up all your magic power. Basically, if you’re walking around with a body that’s been strengthened by magic power, it can happen when it suddenly runs out. Well, it could be because of the muscle pain from what happened earlier.”

Arin examined her body for a bit, then looked at me intently and asked.

“Ah… Right… Oh, what is Binnie’s current sister…?”

“Oh, that’s the question.”

I said as I put my precious hat on Arin.

“I am your kind sister, Vinae. Does this answer your question?”

Then, a redhead next to me looked at me with strange eyes and said something.

“Hey, putting that hat on a child is…!”

“Why? It’s an organization that disappeared anyway. And, it’s a hat that I cherished. What’s wrong with giving a hat that I cherish to a younger sibling that I cherish?”

“Huh… ? Is that so… ?”

“Yes. That’s right. Arin, do you not like it?”

“Ah, hat… Oh, then doesn’t that mean I win? Sister?”

“That’s already over the moment I took you to Blanc?”

“Ugh…! Anyway, I have it!”

While Arin was making a fuss, Blanc opened the door and came in.
