For a few moments, as she was lifted to her feet by the huge green girl, Hikari was still kind of stunned. The blow from Naoko's kanabo had rocked her arms and sent her flying, she'd never been met with something like that before. This was a day of new experiences for the small, currently red-headed girl, it seemed.

But when Tokiko started yelling at her...

"... Grrr... what was I supposed to do!?" she snapped, "You were getting attacked by two other magical girls! After stepping in to protect me! Would you prefer if I just sat and watched while you got overwhelmed and beat up?!"

Hikari paused for a moment, small, delicate hands clenched into fists. She didn't need to be treated like this after stepping in to try and help! Besides, how could she have passed up the opportunity she'd been given? Not that she'd admit to her desire to be something like a magical girl. What was the fight all about, anyway?

"Besides, why are magical girls fighting anyway?! What's this whole Hex Night thing about?!" she cried.

Suddenly, the fairy from before seemed to reappear.

"The Hex Night is a chance for every magical girl to obtain their very own wish!" she declared, brightly, with a smile. It was at that moment that yet another magical girl showed up.

"... How many magical girls are in Tokyo, anyway?!" Hikari asked, looking around at the others.

"Well, a large city needs more magical girls to protect it, so there's quite a lot!" explained the fairy, "On top of that, there's other girls showing up for the Hex Night."
