How do you even know anything about the TSAB and magic?” Nanoha cocked her head and crossed her arms as a puzzled expression stamped her face. She was utterly baffled at how this incident was getting weirder at every moment. However, after the excited soldier finished her spiel something clicked in her head.

“W-wait, did the copy of those movies we sent to Suzuka, Alice, and my family leaked to the internet? It can only be that,” Nanoha thought out loud. “And we told them to be careful. Earth is not yet ready to join the TSAB,” she continued to digress for a few more moments before shrugging her shoulder and accepting the situation as it was. The damage had already been done, she might as well try to keep it to the minimum possible.

“Mhmm… Private Minami, is it?” Nanoha said, testing if she got the name of the soldier who addressed her right. “I’m sure that we will have enough time to discuss this later. For now, your squad has to clear this area. We have arrested a dangerous individual and are in the process of deciding how to keep him until we can find a safer prison. Even if you are soldiers, normal people like you are in danger if you stay this clos—” Nanoha’s explanation went down the drain when Menomaru began to behave in strange ways. Before she could even assess his intentions, he was already… giving himself for arrest?

“Stop right there, or I’ll have to use force against you once again! You’ll not place any more lives at risk, do you hear me?” Something in this had to be wrong. It was obviously some kind of ploy on his part and Nanoha wasn’t willing to take the risk. If the verbal warning wasn’t enough, she had Raising Heart ready to fire at a moment’s notice.
