Yuno lay on the table, recalling how it once faced a survival crisis. If it hadn't met that girl by chance, Yuno would have been dead by now.
But now, Yuno found itself in despair once more, as it realized it hadn't escaped the shadow of death at all.
What made it even more desperate was that this time, no one would come to save it.
"You must be Yuno, right? Let me introduce myself. I'm Cerberus, the Guardian Beast created by the great Mage Kuro Reed..."
The stuffed toy beside Yuno, Little Ke, didn't seem to notice Yuno's gloom but instead greeted it enthusiastically.
As a "benefit" of joining the Far East Magic Research Club, Fang Zheng allowed Little Sakura and Nanoha to bring their Guardian Beasts (or mascots) to school and place them in the club room. This move was welcomed by both since they were worried their companions might cause trouble at home. Nanoha might have had some trust in Yuno, but Little Sakura had no faith in Little Ke's integrity.
