In this separate world, there is neither atmosphere nor space. Her spears flew everywhere.

Lethe saw Puk Puck having a strange expression on her face. She didn’t know what Puk Puck was planning to do. She didn’t know, but she prayed.

Lethe thrusted using the two swords in her hands. Cutting through the air. Returning back down.

This barrage of attacks launched at high speed with murderous intent would be her finishing blow.

The distance that she had. It began to shrink. The blood that dripped from her mouth had begun to stain her dress. But it’s not over yet.

The sword strike she was piercing with, she continued to push through. Puk Puck tried to dodge, but Lethe timed her attack.

The area they’re in, everything was perfect. Although it was only for a moment, she saw Puk Puck’s legs lift off the ground.

Puk Puck wasn’t a Magical Girl who could fly. Which means, she shouldn’t be able to move freely in the air.

Lethe shortened the distance between the spear in the sky and the ground below. All around her, she adjusted the distance, putting Puk Puck in a penetrating position.

She wouldn’t be affected by Puk Puck’s magic this way, because this was different from a direct hit with Lethe.

The spear that was falling from a high altitude accelerated with a furious momentum, drawn only by gravity.

This was an unavoidable blow. She’s going to hit Puk Puck, whose feet had jumped off the ground.

That’s right. She was going to hit her.

Lethe reflexively shortened the distance to Puk Puck.

Then she swatted Puk Puck’s body away. Then, the spear that had fallen from the heavens had now pierced through Lethe’s own body.

Blood shot through the sky. The blood loss was overwhelming. Lethe fell downwards and collapsed sideways.

The instant that she protected Puk Puck, Lethe felt despair.

But at the same time, she also felt delight.

Puk Puck, who looked down at Lethe, had a sad expression on her face.

You should smile more…

Lethe tried to say out loud. But only blood was flowing through her mouth, not words.

Puk Puck walked away, leaving Lethe alone. Lethe stroked her chest with her trembling hands. She felt the blood that flew from the sky.

Her pleasure gradually disappeared. Instead, she felt anger and hatred instead.

Until the very end, until the end… Lethe had been caught by Puk Puck’s magic, and thus the final blow that she wanted to deliver to Puk Puck was instead delivered to herself.
