[B]葛 馮虚 (コペンハーゲン・スター)[/B]

The tentacle that sought to strike down the draconic magical girl failed to reach its target, as the [i]space[/i] that contained the girl was [i]pushed[/i] away, allowing Copenhagen Star to quickly grab her before the battlefield once more rebounded to its initial position. It was immediately clear that the girl she was now holding in her arms was a new contractee, which provided an explanation for the visible inexperience. A rather unfortunate time to have become a magical girl, but more assistance would definitely be appreciated against such a strange and [i]fascinating[/i] beast; every test performed on it only served to reveal more interesting information.

"[color=9D538E]Are you well?[/color]" asked the greatcoat-clad magical girl, letting go of her younger colleague now that the immediate danger had successfully passed. It wouldn't do for them to be taken out so early in their career. However, that attack (Dragon Heat?) that had cut down the drill tentacle (another of the Negari's weapons to keep in mind) seemed to be rather effective, if the visible burns and reticence on the victimised tentacle was any indication. Was there a fire weakness to the creature? If so, then the new girl would be effective in dealing with it as quickly as possible.

Copenhagen Star quickly ran through the behaviours she had observed from the beast. While not particularly durable, any pieces of the Negari removed from the main mass would come to life and act separately of the body (or were possibly telepathically linked, but she lacked the tools to test that). It could also regenerate, if the lack of major wounds dealt to it by her initial application of torsion force was any indication. However, neither the division or regeneration had managed to take effect upon being struck by her fellow Star-themed magical girl, and the major difference between their two attacks appeared to be the intensity of the force applied to the body. It could be possible that powerful impacts were a weakness of its.

The vacuum tentacle was still occupied with the cedar she had pushed into its maw, and while it was facing difficulty working through the sheer size and prickly branches, it was quite clear that it could still take in such an object. Its progress was particularly slow, true, but it was still within its capabilities. The coat-wearing magical girl could not help but be impressed by the sheer flexibility of the beast. Much like so many of its brethren, it defied expectations time and time again.

She briefly entertained placing more into the vacuum, but the thought was immediately discarded as unnecessary. There was something else she wanted to test. If the monster was weak to fire as she had assumed, then how would it reach to being exposed to open flames beneath its outer layer? Was the inside of the vacuum tentacle equally as resistant as the outside, or was it more vulnerable?

"[color=9D538E]Miss, if it is not too difficult, could you please set the cedar on fire? The Negari appears to be weak to your flames.[/color]"

If the tree was set on fire within the maw of the vacuum tentacle, how effective would it be? A constantly burning object in direct contact with the creature that was also difficult to dislodge, it would be akin to a human trying to swallow a large soup dumpling after unwisely choosing to try and eat it whole (without first drinking the hot soup content) and thus end up choking in pain and regret. She was truly curious to how much damage could be dealt to it, and the smoke could possibly have an effect as well.

Her violet eyes glanced up at the rooftop once more to check on her fellow Star-themed magical girl's progress. If the shrieking and jostling of the Negari was any indication, the direct blows to the central mass were especially painful for the abominable creature.

Hopefully her younger colleague would recognise that quickly.

The fairy probably would.
