The brief incantation clearly lacked the power to block an attack, and as Hong Siyu's words fell, the black arrow easily tore through the blue thread defense line and rushed toward the somewhat slender figure.
However, just as the arrow was about to strike, the notebook that Hong Siyu held in her hands suddenly took to the air, blocking the potentially fatal attack.
The struck notebook first emitted the sound of tearing pages under the strain, and then, with a low, muffled thud, it exploded along with the arrow into scattered pages in the air.
Emerald Sparrow, watching from the side, narrowed her pupils slightly, her fist tightening subconsciously, but in the end, she said nothing and just quietly observed the unfolding changes.
Since Hong Siyu had promised there would be no trouble, she should trust in the other. Trusting one's companions was the most basic quality of a Magical Girl.
In the instant of this thought, the scattered pages underwent a transformation.
