Magic Girl.
One of the most popular topics in the Hero Association.
They use powerful Star Realm Magic to fight against Starry Sky Aberrants that heroes cannot defeat, protecting this world.
To support the continuous activity of Magic Girls, the Hero Association has customized various merchandise for the Magic Girls, allocating a large portion of the income to support Magic Girl activities.
And the Merchandise Exchange Club was one of the products born under such a popular activity.
Su Tianqing nibbled on a Jianbing Guozi, looking curiously into the distance.
"Explosive Surprise! Magic Girl card booster packs will be released today!"
A lively storefront not far away was pulling up banners and using loudspeakers to promote, with a continuous stream of customers.
"It's so lively," Golden Fox exclaimed.
"Yeah... I didn't expect the business here to be so good..." Cat Girl was also a little surprised, scratching her ear.
This is a small commercial area near Rongcheng Medical College.
When shopping, Su Tianqing hadn't noticed that there were still a few shops here, but after coming here, she found that the liveliness here could already rival several large anime shops under Tianfu Square.
"I also saw it by chance in the group. Everyone said this is Magic Girl Street, specializing in merchandise exchange business."
Walking past the lively storefront, the two chatted while looking at several shops nearby.
Without exception, the number of customers was not small, and the quantity and variety of merchandise were much more than in comprehensive anime shops.
If it's here, I should be able to find what I want:
—The Magic Girls who had appeared before Hyacinth, and the powerful Monsters they had fought against.
Summarize experience from the past, and then apply this experience to future villain activities!
...
"Speaking of Magic Girls in Rong City, the currently active Hyacinth trio should be the most popular."
Standing at the counter of a shop, picking out card booster packs, Su Tianqing chatted with the boss.
"But before the three of them, there was a Magic Girl combination that was famous worldwide—"
"Red Snow, Albatross, Qiu Baiyang, and Purple Lilac."
At this point, Su Tianqing and Nan Jiayu simultaneously looked up at a complete set of 3D laser cards carefully protected in a display cabinet behind the boss, as well as a huge poster with excellent artwork.
Red Snow Squad.
Even the original Miss Su Tianqing's memory had some impression of the four Magic Girls in this squad.
"They have been continuously active in Rong City for twenty-five years, with brilliant achievements, defeating two to three hundred Monsters before and after, and saving countless people."
"They even participated in several long-range operations to support Mountain City, and are a very excellent Magic Girl squad."
"However, even such a powerful Magic Girl squad will have a day of curtain call."
The boss's face immediately showed an expression full of memories, and he looked back at the huge poster.
"Sixteen years ago, Rong City suffered the strongest Monster attack in the world's history—which is what is recorded on this poster."
Su Tianqing's mouth was slightly open, not really listening to the boss's explanation, her gaze fixed on the huge Monster on the poster that almost covered the entire sky.
A giant jellyfish that occupied half the sky.
Each tentacle was hundreds of thousands of meters long, and its body floated in the clouds, absorbing Star Realm Magic. Both its size and magic were terrifying.
This Monster was very familiar; the BOSS Monster she was currently creating was exactly the same as it!
But the one on the screen was a bit too big, estimated to be... at least 15 times her enhanced level.
No, at least two more should be added to the special abilities—Gigantification, and the most important Sky Rift.
Can a wild Monster be so powerful? It seems her perspective was too narrow.
"【Star Realm Jellyfish Attack Incident】..." Su Tianqing murmured the small line of text at the bottom of the poster.
"I saw it when I was scrolling through videos last time. It's said to be the most destructive Monster incident in the last fifty years," Cat Girl replied without thinking.
"Yes, now that I think about it, it was really dangerous back then..." The boss's expression became serious, he nodded earnestly, and began to talk about the past.
Soon, customers came to check out, and Su Tianqing and the other two didn't want to disturb others' business anymore, so they casually wandered around the shop.
But as soon as the two turned around, they looked up and met the gaze of a pink-haired figure huddled in the corner of the counter not far away.
"Xia Taotao Tongxue?" Su Tianqing said curiously.
"Ugh ji!?"
Rabbit Girl shivered all over, waving her hand timidly.
"G-good afternoon... Tian Qing Tongxue, and, and Jia Yu Tongxue..."
"Good afternoon." Nan Jiayu waved hello friendly.
After all, they were classmates in the same department, and the other person also liked Magic Girls, so they were fellow enthusiasts.
Su Tianqing immediately pulled Cat Girl closer and asked the socially anxious Rabbit wearing a school uniform skirt:
"Does Xia Taotao Tongxue often come here to buy merchandise?"
"Y-yes..." Xia Taotao suppressed her nervousness, nodding with a wry smile,
"Actually, I shop here more often than Tianfu Square, because the variety of merchandise here is greater and more complete, and..."
After speaking, Rabbit Girl glanced at the display stand next to her,
"And there are also many very rare items."
"Then it seems Xia Taotao Tongxue is very familiar with this street!"
Su Tianqing said with a smile,
"If you're free this afternoon... could you show us around here~?"
"Ah ah ah...! Ah, n-no problem at all...!"
The two's casual stroll quickly turned into a three-person chat.
Xia Taotao felt that she quite liked being with these two—
Although Su Tianqing was very enthusiastic and easily triggered her social anxiety, her love for Magic Girls was no less than her own, which made Xia Taotao want to interact with her.
Even though she had never encountered such a desire to actively make friends with someone since she was little.
Is it because Tian Qing Tongxue has the same hobbies as her?
Thinking about it, it really is.
It's too difficult to find a fellow enthusiast with such similar interests. To make such a friend, Xia Taotao felt that it wouldn't be a problem to overcome her social anxiety a little!
Fortunately, Su Tianqing was also very willing to be friends with her, and Rabbit was extremely grateful.
As for Nan Jiayu...
Xia Taotao's gaze quietly fell on the dark blue Cat Girl, and quickly moved away when it met her clear blue cat eyes.
Very cute, but also a bit aloof.
And her relationship with Tian Qing Tongxue was also very intriguing; she would even silently sigh in her heart when she saw their interaction:
You two! You must be happy!
"Speaking of which..."
Nan Jiayu suddenly spoke, drawing Su Tianqing and Xia Taotao's attention.
"What the shop owner just said is a bit different from what I heard."
"Oh?" Su Tianqing's tail paused, and she opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
Even Xia Taotao nodded, saying cautiously:
"Mm-hmm... The version I heard... is also a bit different..."
Su Tianqing immediately pointed to a nearby Magic Girl-themed cafe.
"Let's go in there and chat! Tell me everything you know!"
This is a great opportunity!
