Chapter 926 First Mission part 3
Seeing the robots on top of each other were unmoving and crackling with electricity, Claire became worried, "D-Did we..."
But before she could finish her sentence, Ophis interrupted, "...They are alive."
Claire breathed a sigh in relief and approached the robots cautiously, "What should we do with them? Take them to the police?"
As someone who had more experience in this than everybody else, Kunou suggested, "Normally, we'd have to take them to a local superpower, but Claire-chan, do you know anyone related to that?"
Claire shook her head.
"Then we would have to take them with us. Since all of you did most of the work, we'll send them to the Belial House's side and your family should be able to decide what to do with them."
But not just Claire and Tanis, but also Ophis and Lilith froze, "C-can't we send them to your place?" Asked Claire nervously.
Kunou tilted her head in confusion and answered, "...We can... But why should we do that? I've never heard of a robot going around before so they're a wealth of information for any faction."
While Kunou is thinking through the benefits of her faction like how she was educated, the other four girls were only worried about one thing and that's a scolding. Although they didn't know that Kisuke and the others are hiding what they are truly capable of, this instance is still obviously grounds for a scolding.
Yes, they are still following the rule of retreating and escaping if there's danger, but although there was no danger for them, they still knew that they were pretty reckless. It's the main reason why they wanted to keep the 'Crimson Order of Magical Girls Society' a secret from everyone else. Because they knew that they wouldn't be allowed to go on 'missions'.
But while they were deliberating what to do, the robots they thought were unconscious were listening to them and communicating to their mothership, [Requesting initiation of Mass Teleportation to our location. Please prepare for hostile contact.]
A few seconds later, a reply came back, [Request granted. The effect will extend 20 meters beyond you, will that be correct?]
[30 meters to account for their reaction time. Targets are capable of disabling 1 star with ease. Please prepare a 3-star to take command.]
[Roger. Xins of 3-stars will take command of apprehending the test subjects. Initiating Mass Teleportation in 3... Prepare for impact.]
And just like that, the Dark Purple's chest suddenly lit up and a Magic Circle extended from him while the girls were busy.
The first one to notice this was Ophis and Lilith who tried to stop whatever it was doing. However, this Teleportation Magic was something that Ophis had never seen before and her barrier was not able to do anything to block or even delay it. Bright light covered everyone and before they knew it, they were taken to a wide white room.
The problem only started there as the two robots that they are supposed to take into custody already disappeared and they were left in a freezing room devoid of breathable air.
Claire and the girls except for Ophis and Lilith panicked as they found themselves not being able to breathe. Thankfully, the necklace on Claire that she received from Kisuke activated, creating a bubble around them that regulated the temperature and gave them air.
Tightly clutching the necklace, Claire muttered, "Come closer. We're going home."
The group watched as the only entrance to the room got filled by similar robots and began to surround them. There was already a spell over the room that prevented any use of Teleportation Magic but these aliens aren't aware that they're facing the Infinite Dragon and her happy friends.
A second later, Ophis and Lilith's power flooded the entire room, forcefully broke through the spell, and teleported away, successfully escaping.
When they returned, Claire immediately arranged a Teleportation Magic of her own and brought everyone a few kilometers away from their original position before asking Ophis and Lilith to bring them to Kyoto, more specifically, to the room that was prepared for them.
But instead of greeting the master of the house, Claire raised her voice, "Meeting~!"
As soon as she uttered those words, Ophis and Lilith put up the silencing barrier once again.
Still, in their Magical Girls uniform, Claire put on a serious expression, "Thank you for all your hard work. We completed an emergency mission and saved a woman. Now then, onto the next agenda. Does anyone have any idea what just happened?"
Tanis raised her hand and answered, "We were taken somewhere scary!"
Kunou wanted to say that this isn't really the time for this but decided to go along as this atmosphere brings out her inner child and excites her.
"We were taken to the moon," Ophis added since she was familiar with where she was taken.
"Moon? But we were in a cold room..."
But Ophis reiterated, "We were on the moon."
Hearing that, Kunou suggested, "Maybe that room is on the moon?"
Claire nodded in understanding, "I see... And seeing as there were many more of them in there, could it mean that it's their base?" She then faced Ophis and asked, "Were you able to look around?"
Kunou didn't know what she meant but Ophis nodded while Lilith created a paper with her power and in it is an incomplete blueprint, "...This is the map."
Claire, with shining eyes, took the paper and carefully looked at it, "They're the bad guys. We can't let them do bad things!"
"Wait! Are you thinking of going back there!?" Kunou asked in a panic.
But instead of answering her, Claire turned to Ophis again and asked, "Ophis-chan, can we return?"
Ophis nodded, "I left a mark." Claire immediately understood that even if they move their base anywhere else, Ophis will be able to take them there.
"Good!" Claire nodded in satisfaction, "As long as my necklace doesn't activate, we will be fine! This is an opportunity for our Crimson Order of Magical Girls Society!"
"That's too dangerous!" Kunou shouted.
"It's not!" Claire pointed at her necklace, "As long as the necklace that Kisuke-niichan doesn't activate a defensive barrier, it means we're still fine. And even if that happens, it means that our skills are just enough to deal with the problem but Ophis-chan and Lilith-chan will be able to teleport us away in an instant."
Even then, Kunou disagreed and suggested reporting what they found to the proper authorities.
However, Claire was unwilling as they finally found a good 'playground'.
And there it began the back and forth between them, with the one trying to convince the other.
"How about this? As long as the necklace activates a barrier, we'll report it. Everyone is very busy now so if we can do it, we should!"
It didn't take long before Claire could convince Kunou with various promises. It's also because Kunou has these rebellious thoughts popping into her head recently that she was convinced ultimately.
Now that they've decided on what to do next, Tanis raised her hand, "Before we go again, we should learn 'that'."
" "That?" ", Claire and Kunou asked.
"The one that Yoruichi-neechan is asking us to learn but it's too hard... What was that again?... Ah... Magic Breathing."
