After taking the folder from 2B, Fujino casually flipped through the pages.
One name after another passed before her eyes.
Every one of them was someone who would eventually become a Spirit.
Some had already begun showing signs of abnormal Spiritual Power, while others were still ordinary girls living peaceful lives.
"...So they're all found."
Fujino smiled faintly.
With DEM's intelligence network and the assistance of the YoRHa Unit, locating these girls was much easier than she had expected.
Originally, she had planned to wait until they awakened naturally.
But after thinking it over...
Why wait?
Since she already possessed the Reality Gem, she could awaken Sephira directly.
Instead of allowing those girls to experience pain, despair, and endless pursuit before becoming Spirits, it would be better if she simply skipped all those unnecessary steps.
That way, they could become Spirits under her protection from the very beginning.
"Commander."
"Yes."
"Prepare the equipment."
"The Magical Girl Project officially begins."
"..."
The Commander blinked.
Although she had long since become accustomed to Fujino's occasional incomprehensible naming habits, every time she heard something new, she still couldn't help wondering what it meant.
"...Magical Girl?"
Fujino grinned.
"You'll understand soon."
