"Awww," Hina visibly sagged, arms hanging beneath her as she did, "We've gotta get home pretty soon too..."

For whatever reason, it seemed as if she had really wanted to meet Himeko. Chise simply bobbed her head slightly.

"Thank you, onee-san," said the black-haired little girl, "If she'll be back soon, we can just wait. Right Hina-chan?"

For a few moments, the brunette girl was silent. Then she suddenly brightened, nodding rapidly as she did.

"Yeah! That's true! We do have a little bit of time..." she trailed off for a moment, looking thoughtful, before flashing a grin to the older girls, "Besides, as long as there's an onee-san around here I don't think I'll make Hisa-nee worry too much!"

Notably, Hina was only looking at Nico when she mentioned 'an onee-san'.

"I don't think your older sister is going to be that worried... it's not that late. You talk about her an awful lot."

"Because Hisa-nee is the best!"

Chise sighed before turning her attention to the two older girls.

"I'm Fujikawa Chise," she introduced herself, "And this is-"

"Minami Hina!" declared the other girl, cheerfully, waving, "Do you go to the same school as us!?"

She pointed excitedly at Hanako.

"There's no need for me to be friends with junk," replied Kagami, with a shrug, "I am not one to spend time with unnecessary things."

The centipede shade suddenly convulsed, and lashed out blindly. Another barrage of lasers fell onto its body, from Kagami's dozens of flashing mirrors. This time, the creature lay still, smoking. Moments later, its grotesque, damaged body began to dissipate, black mist floating into the air as it came apart. The shade had been slaughtered, though its death didn't rule out the possibility of other shades forming in the area, it was most certainly destroyed.

"However..." Kagami's thin smile grew wider, "You are right on one topic. You are indeed a fellow magical girl, and that means you are a potential opponent. I shall allow you the opportunity to lay down your Hex Orb and walk away. The outcome of our battle is inevitable anyway."
