Akame watched Elise’s fiery declaration calmly and with more than a little amusement in her eyes. She would not boast such loud proclamations until after the fight was settled, but the idea of Elise defeating her at this current level would be next to impossible. Still, younglings never learned until they were thrown into the lion’s den.

[color=f26522]“I appreciate the words Rhea-san, but it seems even they won’t be enough to quench our young friend’s burning ambition,”[/color] she said, aware of the inside joke hidden within her words. [color=f26522]“Very well. Let us test your skill outside because, as you so modestly pointed out, I would prefer if my tea party not be ruined today.”[/color]

The girl turned to leave, the Contractor bounding up and resting on her shoulder. Miyako and Emiri could follow to watch by all means if they wanted. The older Magical Girl was personally anxious to see what the two newbies could provide to the group effort.

Outside, the dark dressed girl’s warm smile never wavered. Instead, she reached out and gently patted the younger girl’s head before leading them down the hallway.

[color=bc8dbf]“Yes, I knew there were other Magical Girls here too. I’m new to this city myself, and I’d love to meet others like me,”[/color] she told Nanako in a soft voice.

It wasn’t long before Chiyo led them to the room with the magical barrier. The dark haired girl clenched Nanako’s hand a little tighter.

[color=bc8dbf]“Please hold on Nanako-chan. This might feel a little weird.”[/color]

In one instant they were outside the door and the next they were standing in the middle of Akame’s tea party. The flaming Magical Girl stared at their arrival with slightly widened eyes. They had gotten through the barrier? Not even Magical Girls could slip through, and these two were definitely Magical Girls. Akame’s surprise died down though as she sensed no malevolence from these two outsiders.

[color=bc8dbf]“Hello everyone,”[/color] Chiyo said happily. [color=bc8dbf]"We’re not late for the tea party, are we?”[/color]
