The three of them entered the cave to inspect the battlefield.

The cross and firewood had burned away, leaving not even ashes; only a hole scorched by red flames remained on the floor.

Exchanging glances, the two girls realized they might have overthought things.

It seemed that the demon king not only had to constantly face human hunts but also couldn't let his guard down regarding the Demon Envoys.

Shami wiped the sweat from his brow. The Magical Girl's destruction site gave him an opportunity to cover up.

"See? Saili will be just like you in the future, all Demon Envoys. As for treatment and such, it's all the same."

Shami glanced at the flat-haired blonde.

"If it weren't for being worried about you, I wouldn't be thinking about so much. Worrying in vain all this time."

The Elf Maiden avoided Shami's gaze, turning her head aside and folding her arms.

"Fighting is great... as long as it's a fight, I'm just afraid it's not a fight..."

Beside her, the white-haired girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself.

In any case, despite the arduous process and minor accidents in subduing the Magical Girl, it was generally under Shami's control.

Whether it was Lina, Lureya, the Tree Spirit, or the Slime giving up the cave, they all contributed.

[The PLAN of the Fallen Magical Girl!]Successfully completed!

...

The next morning.

The sun had yet to rise, and the entire sky was gray; Yili Village was very quiet, almost without any villagers.

A black-haired girl in a long skirt walked alone on the pebbled road.

It was none other than Magical Girl Saili.

Currently, the Magical Girl faced a major test.

The Magical Girl had long since lost any drowsiness. After resting a night, she felt much more spirited.

She indeed had a good sleep, but the moment she thought of waking up and being with Shami to meet Lureya and Lina, she couldn't sleep anymore.

Even though the three girls had already met.

They had even formed a girl alliance.

But before the alliance could undertake a single task, during the information-sharing phase, she was backstabbed to death.

Though Lureya and Lina were of similar age, they were her seniors in terms of joining timeline, and she didn't want to be a junior.

Now that she had become a Demon Envoy, the process involved picking flowers from the demon king. Naturally, this was something she couldn't share with the two girls...

Tangled by various matters, the Magical Girl had to think about how to face the two girls and, more importantly, whether her image had collapsed...

She must think of a foolproof plan.

With a serious expression, the calm girl pondered.

At this moment,

Theo appeared before Saili.

Saili stopped in her tracks and instinctively took two steps back, the magic power in her small hand gradually dissipating.

Early morning, she almost thought some indescribable creature was attacking.

"Miss Saili, I have something important to discuss with you."

Theo looked seriously at Saili.

Saili was silent for a moment.

"Speak. I'm listening."

Theo's expression was conflicted.

If anyone had agonized the most after that five-person journey, it was undoubtedly Theo.

He knew the Magical Girl had been watching him, tracking him, but he could never be sure of her intentions.

During that expedition, even though the Magical Girl always kept a distance from him, Theo was sure her subtle attention and tracking were not illusions.

The Magical Girl truly had been secretly watching him.

Upon returning, Theo struggled for a long time, abstaining from visiting widows or sheepfolds, all to uncover the reason behind this.

Why would a Magical Girl track a villager?

Now, the answer was clear.

The Magical Girl from Fatta had undoubtedly been exposed to countless magics, including profound and abstract ones.

The magic Fatta studied was the most profound, abstract, and obscure on the continent. As a Fatta mage, the Magical Girl, delving deeper into the study of magic, was naturally attracted to these profound magics.

Magic, at its core, is akin to people. Shami had also said that if humans were likened to magic, he would undoubtedly be the most enigmatic magic.

It was this obsession and pursuit of the most profound and abstract magic that made the Magical Girl, upon first laying eyes on him, feel as if she had seen the deepest, most obscure magic—love at first sight, instantly captivated.

Both of them were of similar age, both harbored hazy fantasies about emotions. The girl's cautious tracking and deliberate distancing indicated that a secret crush was quietly unfolding.

Theo never imagined that being secretly loved by someone would someday happen to him, especially by such a wonderful Magical Girl.

But why now?

Theo bit his lip indecisively. Why had such a beautiful thing happened only after he'd achieved a new understanding of life?

After these three months, Theo's inner world had changed significantly; he was no longer the man who secretly watched female adventurers in the guild!

With a complex heart in turmoil, Theo looked at Saili.

No matter what, he had to take responsibility for this.

Though he was merely a villager, he was also a mature man who had been through it all, responsible for a first love-struck Magical Girl!

"I'm sorry, Miss Saili. If it were before, even just a few months earlier, I would feel most honored. But now, please allow me to refuse your feelings..."

"Leave."
