Cave Revenge
I am Zard, an executive of the Shadow Corps. Every time, that cheeky magic warrior Yuna-chan would get the better of me. That little girl in her frilly outfit would wipe out my subordinates with her sparkling magic, tearing my pride to shreds. That smile, that contemptuous gaze... I've been driven to the brink of groveling time and time again, barely escaping with my life. I've had enough.
This time is different. I set my trap carefully. I chose a deep, damp cave in an old mountainous region as the stage. From the outside, it looks like just a rock face, but inside, it's sealed off by my barrier. It's a labyrinth embedded with dark crystals that make Yuna-chan's magic ineffective. I lured all her allies elsewhere with fake information. Today, it's just you, Yuna-chan. At dusk, she charged into the cave as usual, chasing my remnants. The sound of her pink boots hitting the rock face echoed.
"Come out, Zard! You're using some cowardly trick again, aren't you? I'll purify it all with my magic!" Hmph, as cheeky as ever. I manipulated the dark mist to block the entrance. Black tentacle-like shadows crept around Yuna-chan. Her transformation pose started to crumble in panic.
"W-What is this... My magic isn't working!?" That's right, little girl. My new weapon. The dark crystals in this cave are draining your mana. Her small body began to tremble. "Can't bounce around like usual, can you?" I slowly revealed myself, flipping my black cape and letting my sharp claws glint.
"Hey, Yuna-chan. Every time, you use me as a stepping stone to play the hero, huh? Today, it's payback. I'm going to carve all my grudges into this body of yours." For the viewer, this is the moment when Zard, who has suffered defeat after defeat, finally seizes his chance for revenge. In this confined cave space, with her magic sealed, how will Yuna-chan fight back, or will she submit helplessly? The outcome leaves you breathless.
