So that was it. The reason that such a battle had been created in the first place was because it was the only way to prevent a monster like that from forming? Now it made sense to Hikari. The magical girls weren't just fighting each other for the sake of getting a wish, they were fighting to make sure no-one had to die. If that was the case... then wasn't it even more important that she participated in the Hex Night and fought her hardest? Not just her, but any magical girl. It was a part of their duty, to make sure that a horrible monster that could kill so many people in the process of defeating it was unable to form.

"If that's the case, then it's even more important that I learn how to fight and do my best in the Hex Night, right?!" she asked, turning, eyes blazing with a firm nod, "It's another way of saving people. So that means it's really important for a magical girl, right?!"

For the moment, her surly attitude was gone. It was clear that regardless of anything else, Hikari really cared about helping others.
