Although the motivation was a little impure, and the various scenarios were somewhat bizarre, the truth is that with the power of magical girls, there was absolutely no problem.

  It must be understood that, compared to characters from animations aimed at children, the power Nisha possessed was much, much stronger.

  For example, right now, she could gently float Alice from the top of a fifteen-story building to the roof of the “Golden Night” casino.

  Although, during this process, Alice was quite certain that her movements, no matter how stylish they appeared, had no discretion whatsoever, at least more than ten pedestrians clearly saw a flashy white light floating through the night sky, well… in real life, who would see something like that and immediately associate it with a supernatural event?

  In fact, those pedestrians didn’t pay the slightest attention to that white blotch that appeared.

  Each one went their own way, playing with their phones, naturally ignoring the arrival of the little girl on the roof of the “Golden Night.”

  And so it was that, in an alternate sense of “without anyone noticing,” Alice successfully completed the first stage of her infiltration.

  [“Alright, Moon Fairy. We’ve arrived at the target location. Now we just need to silently open the rooftop access door...”]

  “Nisha, break that padlock!”

  CLANG!

  A loud metallic sound tore through the silence of the night in the blink of an eye.

  [“Alice? I think I heard a very loud noise...”]

  “You’re hearing things, Thalia!”

  Responding firmly to her partner, with none of the demeanor of someone infiltrating, Alice directly opened the heavy iron door to the rooftop of the “Golden Night” as if she were a visitor entering an amusement park.

  For a moment, the cold night breeze blew through the girl’s long hair, and her “unbelievable entrance” caused a direct shock to… a large group of people on the floor below...

  It was a group of muscular brutes, all heavily built. Most were smoking, drinking, and showing off dragon and phoenix tattoos across their bodies.

  Judging by the situation, they were clearly professional security guards for the “Golden Night” casino. From the bottles on the floor and the chips scattered on the table, it wasn’t hard to deduce they were playing cards to kill time, half drunk.

  Without a doubt, this group of drunks and gambling addicts would never have imagined that a little girl would suddenly descend from the only staircase leading to the roof.

  If they were to describe their feelings… it would be a mix of surprise and sheer terror.

  After all, they had always been here, beside the only entrance to the rooftop. How had that little girl come down from there? Moreover, that heavy iron door was locked!

  “Hey! Brat, how the hell did you get here?!”

  A brute who seemed to be the boss spat the cigarette from his mouth and stood up from his seat. Immediately afterward, all ten or so thugs in the room dropped their cards and stood up aggressively.

  It must be admitted, in this small space that was technically a “storage room,” seeing more than ten thugs advancing at once was indeed quite intimidating.

  [“Hey, hey, Moon Fairy? I hear voices. Were you discovered? Did the infiltration fail?!”]

  Thalia’s anxious voice came through the phone, carrying an unmistakable concern. It was clear that, despite confidently speaking about the “invincible magical girls of justice,” in practice she still cared a lot about Alice’s safety.

  But...

  “Relax, Apple Pie! I wasn’t discovered. The infiltration of magical girl Alice was perfect, flawless! I can’t talk now. Wait at home for the glorious news of my return!”

  Click!

  Without waiting for another word, Alice pressed the screen-off button and ended the call. Not only did she completely ignore the villains in front of her, she also cut off communication with Thalia bluntly and directly.

  After all, given the situation, the sounds that would soon fill that room certainly didn’t match the beautiful image of a “magical girl.”

  So...

  “Nisha, kill everyone except that big guy. And take the opportunity to test the combat method we developed recently!”

  With no patience to wait for the enemies to strike first, Alice, already well-versed in efficiently eliminating obstacles, immediately gave Nisha the order.

  At her words, the little ghost did not hesitate for a second: it resolutely transformed into a sharp blade and, enveloping the small girl, launched itself into the middle of the enemy encirclement.

  And in the next moment...

  Shhh!

  Like a bloody flower blooming in the night, the red liquid spread across every inch of the floor. Amid the scattered pieces of bloody flesh, Alice, spotlessly clean, looked like a white fairy born of slaughter, a terrifyingly beautiful sight.

  With the smell of blood saturating the air, the room that had once been full suddenly seemed vast and empty.

  Exactly.

  Since escaping the pursuit of the imperial troops, this “idle” little girl had not simply been doing nothing.

  Although she still hadn’t taught Nisha to fly, she had mimicked the abilities of video game characters to create this rapid-extermination technique against enemy encirclement.

  Yes, now the little ghost already knew how to control four tentacles independently. Thus, when surrounded, it could temporarily reduce the size of its shield to increase the number of tentacles and, like the petals of a blooming flower, attack all enemies around Alice at once.

  This was the first time the little ghost tested this “new” combat style atop the “Golden Night” casino.

  Even though its movements were still a bit clumsy and inexperienced... exterminating a gang of thugs surrounding the girl was more than sufficient.

  In fact, after the still-twitching chunks of flesh piled up in two or three mounds on the ground, the attic that had once seemed so lively was now left with only one person, the big guy, completely paralyzed with fear, slumped in a wooden chair...

  “Mo... Monster!”

  “Shut up! Nisha is my most important partner. She’s not a monster. If you dare call her that again, I swear I’ll cut your throat myself!”

  Furious, Alice stared at the thug boss, who seemed completely paralyzed with fear. Even she didn’t realize she would be so angry over a single word.

  But she also knew that now was not the time for that. Don’t forget: she didn’t come to the “Golden Night” to “punish evil and exalt justice.”

  So, before the smell of blood could escape through the door crack, the girl, holding back her impatience, quickly pressed on:

  “If you want to stay alive, tell me immediately where your boss is. And hand over all the money you have on you. Now!”
