[i]"You killed the void shade that appeared last week, didn't you?"[/i]

"Oh yes, that was me." Tokiko snickered. "I couldn't have anything causing trouble while I was busy with Hex Night, so I made sure to thoroughly exterminate every shade and shadow in the neighborhood. This way, there won't be anything distracting me..." She pulled her hand out of her bag and stood up, now holding a taser. "... from wiping out you and everyone else who stands in my way!"

As she was talking, her Archetype continued to advance, driving the spear girl back towards Hikari. The spear came thrusting up again, but the creature simply swung one heavy arm and swatted the shaft, knocking her opponent's strike off course before stepping in and throwing a heavy punch. Even if she was just a servant, she seemed more than capable of keeping up with the magical girl in a close-range fight.

Tokiko, however, was looking past the ongoing battle. Looking at Hikari, or rather, at the winged creature that had just descended in front of her. Suddenly, she raised one hand and shouted at her Archetype. "Eve! Pull back!"

"Grrr...?" The monstergirl stopped her assault and sprung backwards, arms raised in a defensive stance. Tokiko, meanwhile, was now frowning in anger. "Damn it, fairy! Why'd you have to interfere?" Even if she'd been entirely confident in her victory before, the appearance of the feathered girl had her spooked.
