The pattern represents her identity within the Claw Mark, symbolizes her role as a core mber of the Claw Mark, and when it glows, there can only be one possibility—the leader of the Claw Mark has so matter to discuss with her.
The action did not escape the notice of Semi beside her, thus the expression of the Black Cat Fairy also beca serious. They exchanged a glance and synchronized their movents without agreent.
After scanning the surroundings and ensuring no one was paying attention, Yuan casually chose an alley, transford within the darkness after entering it, and then soared into the air, heading for the top of a nearby towering office building.
Semi followed closely, using her fairy trait of being invisible to passersby, bouncing between buildings, then landing beside Yuan.
Everything ready, Yuan pulled out a red and black magic mirror from her bag, sat crouching in the cold wind, and according to the call of the mark on her hand, made contact with the other end of the magic mirror.
Almost simultaneously, deep purple Magic Power began to diffuse from the mirror, completely obscuring the surrounding space.
Silently observing the changes on the magic mirror, Yuan didn't utter a word; Semi also maintained silence, lying motionless on the ground.
The deep purple Magic Power seed to have a life of its own, exploring, sensing, touching the surrounding air—as if light Magic Power, yet felt solid, creating a heavy and suffocating sensation. It swirled around, forming currents within a certain range, as if to discern the environnt.
Before long, the spreading Magic Power finally stopped expanding and instead completely sealed off the high skies outside the office building, forming a Barrier that no outsider could penetrate.
Then, the mirror in Yuan's hand finally lit up.
—"Long ti no see, dear Yuan."
A voice that was light with a touch of tenderness spoke; a girl looking about fifteen years old appeared on the other side of the magic mirror, her face adorned with a warm smile, like that of an innocent girl unaware of the world's complexities.
Her features were delicate, her skin pale and flushed, with deep purple eyes misty with light, appearing pitiable. Her light and fluffy purple hair loosely draped over her shoulders, looking as soft and fluffy as down filling in clothes.
She was dressed in a white princess gown, richly and intricately adorned, and wore a diamond necklace around her neck that seed to signify sothing.
In appearance, dress, and deanor, the girl was like a princess from a fairy tale. Cute, luxurious, and elegant; a series of adjectives seed to find their corresponding reality in her.
That is, if one could ignore the environnt she was in.
The vast expanse of yellow sand, the reddening setting sun, and behind the girl lay a massive Remnant Beast barely clinging to life; the fluids of Remnant Beasts everywhere, limbs torn beyond recognition, and the charred remains of what seed to have been their "nests."
It appeared as if a battle had just occurred there—this would be anyone's first thought at the sight.
However, this notion would distort upon seeing the girl—for the scenes surrounding her starkly contrasted with her presence.
In the midst of nearly ruinous surroundings, not a trace of blood or dirt marred the girl, not even a speck of dust; her pristine white princess gown bore no color other than the decorative ribbons. Furthermore, not even her hair seed touched by debris, soft as though it had just been grood.
And such a girl bore one most striking anomaly—that upon her head were a pair of beast ears ford by the Flow of Magical Power.
They stood erect like ears of a canid creature at the sides of her head, only they appeared semi-transparent because they were constructed of Magic Power.
"Long ti no see, boss."
Yuan greeted the figure in the mirror as if not noticing any abnormalities, then lifted her head and politely smiled, "Are you out on a hunt today?"
"Yes, it's been so ti like this," the girl glanced back at the massive Remnant Beast, and with that movent, the dying beast even ceased its faint vital functions, "After all, we're short on people at ho now, with everyone out on tasks, so I have to do so odd jobs."
"Short on people…?" Yuan slightly lowered her gaze, not looking directly at the girl in the mirror.
"Yes, you're in the material world, Black Cat has returned to the realm, and Kui went with her... Now it's just so support staff and at ho, it's lonely," the girl chuckled lightly, her cheeks faintly blushing as if with a hint of shyness, "So I contacted you at this ti, I haven't disturbed your important tasks, have I?"
"No, the most important task is when you need , boss," Yuan barely smiled, showing a grudging laugh, "It's also our fault for taking so long outside, leaving you cooped up at ho in discomfort."
"It's okay, after all, they are my requests, the tasks I hope you will complete, and being anxious often doesn't yield good results," the girl shook her head, her gaze tenderly on Yuan, "I'm just a little worried if you encountered insurmountable difficulties in your tasks."
