Or rather, given her status, it would be difficult for someone like her to get close to her under normal circumstances.
Misaya, the daughter of a magician, is aware of her differences from others.
In the world of magic, neon lights are referred to as the frontier, considered nothing more than a remote and impoverished place. The Clock Tower has also always held magicians from the Far East in contempt and prejudice.
Even so, the Linglong Pavilion remains an exception; even the magicians of the Clock Tower consider it a prestigious magical family. Its foundation and influence throughout the Far East are unmatched by any other magical family.
It's not an exaggeration to call him the uncrowned king and manager of Tokyo.
Even that rude shopkeeper was just one of the many people under the protection of Linglong Pavilion.
It's not worth paying too much attention to.
That's right, that's how it should be.
Next, we should hurry back; we need to learn magic tricks in half an hour.
As the girl thought this, most of her unhappiness dissipated, and she quickened her pace.
She didn't feel anything unusual about the park environment, which appeared eerie and quiet under the moonlight.
As the future owner of the Reiko-kan, Misaya's magical talent even surpasses that of her father, and she has been highly regarded since childhood.
Even at a young age, she has already studied magic for quite some time. She is not as harmless as she appears.
In fact, if the shop owner hadn't been someone she knew well, she definitely wouldn't have simply left.
For her, who was eager to grow up quickly, this was undoubtedly a provocation.
In Misaya's mind, elementary school students of the same generation were undoubtedly naive and timid.
Whether it's absurd rumors like a human-faced dog, a split-mouthed woman, or a thirteen-story staircase, they can all make them tremble with fear.
What's there to be afraid of about this?
If the magician does nothing, nothing will exist in the darkness, even if rumors are elevated to mystery and become reality.
That would only become an object of research.
Especially in the Suginami district, the headquarters of the Linglong Pavilion family, even if there were any anomalies and mysteries, it has long been cleaned up.
Therefore, Mesa felt no unease about the park as night fell.
until--
"roar~"
A howl like that of a demon echoed continuously from the surrounding forest, the sound containing a violent and hungry desire.
By the time Misaya realized what was happening, three "monsters" had already appeared around her.
It possessed a human body, yet its form was twisted and mangled, its flesh a bloody mess, its pupils pitch black, and saliva dripping from its mouth. It exuded an aura of madness and terror, as if it were a mixture of human malice.
Normal people would suffer a great shock and their rationality would plummet simply from staring at these strange creatures.
The two maids, who were ordinary people, fainted the moment the monster got close.
Only Misaya remained standing in place, staring stiffly at these menacing and oppressive monsters.
She subconsciously activated her Mystic Code to react, keeping her mind clear.
What is this? An evil spirit, a dead apostle, or a newly appeared monster?
What should I do now? Fight? No, I should immediately notify my father through the familiars in this mansion. Right now, I should find a way to escape.
Being so young, she was not a qualified magician and did not carry any magical costumes for battle, nor did her familiar, so the situation was quite unfavorable.
The young girl remained calm and composed, and did not lose her composure in the face of the crisis.
Before she could even make a move, the monsters eagerly began their predation. Their hands, now rotten and revealing stark white finger bones, lunged at her.
As soon as the monsters got closer, Misaya felt dizzy and nauseous, and even her Mystic Code only mitigated some of the negative effects.
This situation is impossible to confront head-on; it is an enemy she cannot currently defeat.
The young girl made this assertion.
If caught, they would likely be devoured before they could even put up a fight.
Despite the threat of death, Misa responded rationally, strengthening her legs and quickly lunging towards the gap.
Even so, one of the monsters attacked Misaya from behind, attempting to tear her smaller body apart. It was blocked by the suddenly appearing six-pointed star and did not actually harm her.
This immense force undoubtedly struck her body, slamming her into the waist-thick tree trunk. Even with her magical costume's protection, she was covered in dust and dirt.

Misaya gritted her teeth and endured the dizziness from the monster's approach, fleeing out of the park.
Once the father arrives, these monsters will no longer pose a threat.
The young girl's logic was remarkably clear; her eyes were filled with magic, making darkness seem like daylight. At the same time, she maximized the enhancement of her legs, fleeing desperately towards the Linglong Pavilion.
Even when attacked by monsters, the Mystic Code's defenses were temporarily able to withstand the attacks. However, at the cost, Misaya's magical power continued to decline.
It's not just about physical attacks, but also about maintaining mental defenses and preventing reason from being consumed by negative emotions.
These monsters weren't particularly powerful, but their maggot-like contamination was what made them terrifying.
What was originally a very short journey now seemed extremely long.
Misaya kept encouraging herself, hoping to boost her confidence after her successful escape.
However, just as she was about to escape the park, her body suddenly stiffened, making it impossible for her to move.
How could this be?
On the road leading to the exit, a dozen or so strange creatures appeared one after another, radiating extreme malice as they gathered together and surrounded Misaya.
Forget fighting, the mere sight of them closing in rendered the girl immobile. Her mind was filled with negative thoughts: fear, withdrawal, despair...
Paralyzed by thought, the girl fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
Dying?
Just thinking about this possibility made Misaya tremble with fear.
Even so, she bit her lip desperately to stay conscious, her crimson eyes staring at the monsters even as she faced death.
Even if it is about to be devoured, about to die in a painful manner.
She refused to show the slightest weakness or back down.
Just as she was dying, Misaya suddenly remembered the picture book she had bought not long ago.
Long ago, her mother read her a story about a prince rescuing a princess and living happily ever after.
The anticipation and joy of that time are still unforgettable.
That's why she went to the bookstore to buy that fairy tale.
However, the prince who will defeat all the terrible things will not appear.
At least, he won't appear in front of her.
"Roar!"
Even though they couldn't communicate, they could see that the monsters' desire to hunt was growing stronger.
They stretched out their rotting claws and fangs, ready to tear the girl's throat apart and devour her flesh.
Wow!
As the father, Li Yi, awaited death, a fierce wind arose from the very beginning of the road.
A katana was drawn from its sheath at an unusual angle, severing the heads of two monsters in one fell swoop.
To cut a sliver of hope in this seemingly hopeless situation of being surrounded.
Volume 1: Chapter 7: Battle, awesome!
Misaya stared blankly at the sudden turn of events. A tall man stood in front of her and the strange creatures, holding a knife, exuding an indescribable aura of menace.
Unlike the knights and princes she had once fantasized about, what appeared before her was just a frivolous young man who used to play pranks on children.
Just, why?
The girl, almost losing her ability to think due to the malevolent aura emanating from the monster, was bewildered and seemed unable to comprehend what was happening.
"My lovely little guest, although my last-minute pose was quite cool, now is not the time to get carried away."
Yalin turned around and ruffled the girl's hair, his fierce aura completely dissipating.
I must say, it feels amazing, like petting a cat. It was worth the trip.
Experience the feeling of flying at a speed of 3 seconds to run 100 meters.
"you!"
The familiar warmth on her head brought Misaya back to her senses, and she glared at the narcissistic man who was deliberately taking advantage of her.
"Now is not the time to be quarrelsome; these guys are not easy to deal with."
After rubbing it a few more times, Yalin immediately said in a serious tone.
With a flick of his wrist, he blocked the attack of a monster's claws, and in an instant, the katana sliced across the monster's throat, separating its head from its body.
When the next monster attacked Misaya, the katana suddenly turned and thrust backward, the tip piercing the monster's heart and twisting it into a tangled mess. Upon discovering the monster was still mobile, she quickly changed tactics and severed its neck.
These monsters are most likely transformed from dead humans, but their speed and strength far exceed those of their former selves.
In addition, they gave Yalin a strange sense of disgust and distortion, which made him quite uncomfortable.
If Yalin hadn't activated triple speed mode, and if he hadn't happened to know a little bit of combat skills, he probably would have been the one to suffer a crushing defeat this time.
All I can say is that in a supernatural world like Type-Moon, ordinary people should really not get involved in the mystical affairs, or they'll likely suffer a terrible fate.
For example, the two maids who had previously fainted would probably have become food if he hadn't arrived in time.
Misaya pursed her lips, knowing she shouldn't interfere now. If anything went wrong, it would mean the death of both of them.
Besides... he was the one who saved him.
She looked up at Yalin's fighting stance.
As unreliable as ever, yet surprisingly reliable in battle.
