While Rabbitfoot was being attacked by Wigs Crosseau, Extend and Dragon Call were returning to the Red Team base at about the same time.

「I can't get through to Crosseau-san. What do we do, Extend-san?」

「I'm curious about that, too, but first we have to fight off the Witches who are coming to take our stronghold here.」

If a player dies in a match, she cannot be resurrected until the waiting time, which varies depending on the size of the area she has acquired, has passed, but until resurrection, she must wait in the waiting room and can check the map, although she cannot communicate with teammates in the meantime.

Extend had checked the map immediately after being destroyed and had noticed that someone from the Yellow Team was coming toward the Red Team in a straight line from the way the small crystals were changing color. And that it wouldn't be Rabbitfoot that had just been fighting in the inner layers.

「I–Isn't that bad? Neither we can win against Frost-san nor Red Ball-chan, right?」

「…It's certainly hard to win, isn't it? I'll take care of this, and you, the Dragon Witch, go around securing the small crystals.」

「Are you okay with that? If we don't win anyway, I think it's possible that we both collect the small crystals.」

「No, I don't want the big crystals to be taken away from us, given the current situation. It's difficult to win, but we'll make it happen. Alright, just get going. The Witch is coming.」

「…I understand. You have a plan. I'll leave the rest to you!」

Dragon Call believed Extend's words, opened her wings wide, and took to the sky.

Then, a little while after the rear of the highly revealing miko costume was out of sight, the girl appeared with a joyful hum.

「Oh-oh-oh? It's Expansion-onee-chan! Ice-chan predicted that it would be that Thread person… But whatever!♪」

「If isn't Gravity Witch-dono.」

Red Ball is a very chuunibyō girl dressed in a pitch black robe.

To tell the truth, Extend has an affinity for this girl that she doesn't quite understand, and she had hoped to have a little in-depth conversation with her once, but alas, this isn't the venue for that chat.

Gravity Magic is known as the strongest magic against people. Although direct magic has no effect on Magical Girls, her magic is of the nature of increasing gravity rather than attacking them, and even Magical Girls are no exception to being affected by it as long as they are bound by the laws of the stars.

In other words, her magic is unavoidable.

Even though it cannot be avoided, once you are hit by her magic, you are sure to die.

It's a must-hit, must-kill, and therefore the strongest against humans.

「I won't let you!」

「Ahaha! Did you think it wouldn't work in the air? Of course not～!

Red Stain♪」

The body of a Magical Girl is fragile. However, this is only when compared to the Diest, and compared to normal humans, they're not only more robust, but also much more athletic. Extend jumped high into the sky with her excellent physical ability, which is unique to Magical Girls. Since she has no flying ability and no spatial expansion, it's just a jump that starts falling right away. Red Ball is right, it doesn't escape the effects of magic. No, she doesn't even try to escape it in the first place. It wasn't an evasive maneuver. It wasn't a move to escape. The move that caught that Red Ball off guard was unmistakably an attack.

「Ex :『Body』」

「Huh?」

Exposed to the enhanced gravity, Extend's body was subjected to an intense load. At the same time, however, her body grew larger and larger, and in no time at all she became a giant with a total length of over 50 meters. The giant falls with her whole body spread wide open, as if she were diving on a bed.

Red Ball, swallowed by the suddenly formed humanoid shadow, couldn't catch up with what was happening. Without time to do anything about it, she was crushed by Extend's body with a resounding roar, and Extend herself became a giant human-shaped stain by Gravity Magic and disappeared, leaving behind a dazzling seven-colored light and a great number of fancy effects.

『W–W–W–What a surprise～～～!!? The Red Team's Contender Extend Traveler! She beat Contender Red Ball!! She's the most powerful against the humans, Contender Red Ball!! What a bold maneuver to make yourself bigger and put Contender Red Ball under!!』

『It's more of a phase than a defeat, but either way this is a big deal. The physical expansion is another reckless thing to do. That seems to be the magic that could be used because of the avatar. If she actually extended her own body, she would probably, but without the magic of Contender Red Ball, be crushed to death under her own weight. Even if she dies, she can come back to life, and that's a magic that can only be used in this competition.』

『What a surprise! So, does this mean that Contender Extend were thinking about using this kind of magic in advance to counteract Contender Red Ball!?』

『What do you think? If she could be this reckless, she would've used it when she fought Contender Rabbitfoot. I think it's possible she came up with the idea while waiting for the revival.』

『I see!! You don't just get hit, you don't just get away with it, that's what Contender Extend Traveler was all about! But perhaps, this would change the situation!』

『It might be. I think the Yellow Team was at least planning to operate Contender Red Ball as a never-lose piece, so the basis of the strategy could be overturned. That said, I think some of the current oddities came through because they were first-time visitors, so there's no guarantee that the next one will have the same result. Contender Ref Ball can use nothing but magic to stain her opponents, so there are plenty of ways to deal with her if you know she was coming in advance. As in the fight between Contenders Wigs Crosseau and Rabbitfoot, you never know the outcome until the time actually comes.』

『That's right! Come to think of it, the magic of Contender Extend Traveler was so shocking I forgot about it for a moment! What happened to the battle of Contenders Wigs Crosseau and Rabbitfoot!? I thought Contender Rabbitfoot had worked some kind of magic, but Contender Wigs Crosseau got a little closer, and that's when the video seemed to abruptly switch!』

『It looks like the video just went back to Contender Rabbitfoot. This is… Contender Wigs Crosseau has apparently been sent to the waiting room, which apparently means she won…』

『Contender Rabbitfoot is running for the next crystal! She looks a little pale, but how on earth did she manage to win from that situation!?』

『If any of Contender Rabbitfoot's magic could be reversed from there, it is most likely that the charm magic would have worked. In fact, Contender Wigs Crosseau was moving so strangely that we're pretty sure that some kind of abnormal condition-based magic was cast on her.』

『But, Comment-san! Shouldn't direct-action type magic not work on Magical Girls!?』

『Under normal circumstances, yes. However, if, for example, a Magical Girl sincerely desires it, it may slip through the protections. In this case, for example, does Contender Wigs Crosseau like rabbits very much?』

『What!? Such a gap for that cool-beauty Contender Wigs Crosseau!?』

『No, it's just an example. But I am sure there was some factor that made it so. In any case, this is outrageous. Contender Extend Traveler, who even went toe-to-toe with Contender Red Ball, is great, but Contender Rabbitfoot won without doing much damage, which means she was able to complete her objective. It's an undeniably great gold star.』

『Who could have predicted this situation!? It's one madness after another! These are indeed the girls who reign supreme among Magical Girls!　Even the lowest in the pecking order is not a simple matter!!』

『If Contender Rabbitfoot's charm is sure to get through to Contender Wigs Crosseau, it would limit her actions considerably. Contender Rabbitfoot may not have realized it, but some types of enchantment magic are capable of completely dominating an opponent. Perhaps there will be a development where Contender Wigs Crosseau will be robbed by the Yellow Team.』

『It's a sight rarely seen in a normal competition, but if that happens, it's going to turn the tide of the battle! Wait a second! While the Red and Yellow Teams are having such an interesting battle, it seems that the Blue Team is continuing to secure small crystals at leisure! Contender Ex–Magna secured the crystals in the southeast outer layer, then headed to the south middle layer and secured one without incident! Using her mobility, Contender Tyrant Sylph secured a small crystal in the middle southeast layer after defeating Contender Dragon Call, then secured another small crystal in the middle east layer, and now she is heading to the outer east layer! Contender Doppelganger still hasn't moved!』

『I have the impression that the Blue Team has been able to follow their strategy well after getting through the first round. It must be encouraging to see Contender Doppelganger defending herself with their large crystals without blinking, but I get the impression that the pace of securing crystals is slowing down because of this.』

『I had a feeling that the Yellow Team would be fighting just as hard as the Red Team, but they're getting more crystals than I thought they would! Looks like Contender Permafrost secured the northeast mid level crystal and then the north mid level crystal!』

『The Yellow Team has won two out of three so far, even though they've been fighting a lot, so even if they can't secure the fight before it starts, they've been able to secure it after they win, which is very impressive.』

『It's almost 10 minutes into the game, and the Red Team is in big trouble! Will they be able to turn things around from here!?』

『The large gap in the number of crystals means that there is also a large gap in the time to resurrection. Contenders Extend Traveler and Red Ball were in a battle, but the time loss will definitely be greater for the Yellow Team, so we don't know yet.』
