“Xin Yuehu! It’s you causing trouble again!”
Hyacinth floated in the air, raising the greatsword in her hand and pointing it directly at the Golden Fox sitting on the bench.
Xin Yuehu grinned, floated up to the height of the treetops, and looked towards Hyacinth and the other two not far away.
Her fluffy tail swayed behind her, her skirt fluttered in the wind, and the golden figure seemed to lean against the moon, revealing a brilliant smile.
“Good evening, Miss Hyacinth~ Miss Iris and Miss Nightingale are here too, are you here specifically to play with Fox Fox~?”
“Stop joking! We’re here to stop you!”
Hyacinth said loudly.
“You won’t cause any destruction here today!”
“Oh really? But Fox Fox is just taking a leisurely stroll in the park, how could I do anything bad or cause destruction~?”
The Golden Fox showed a pleasant smile,
“And, Miss Hyacinth, the collateral damage from your battles… seems to cause more harm than what Fox Fox causes.”
“Don’t slander me! I’ve always been very restrained!” Hyacinth said indignantly, but she felt like she didn’t have much right to criticize Xin Yuehu.
She had to admit that the collateral damage she created during fights was indeed very significant, and the harm caused to the surrounding environment was even greater than the magic missiles Xin Yuehu specifically fired.
But shouldn’t that be because Xin Yuehu only attacked the ground! It’s all this cunning fox’s fault!
Nan Xiaofeng comforted herself inwardly.
“Anyway, we’re going to stop you today!”
“Really?”
“Of course, I’m serious!”
“Then Miss Hyacinth, have you forgotten the condition you promised when we last met?”
“Condition? What cond—”
Before she finished speaking, Hyacinth suddenly recalled the scene where she had mistaken Fox Fox before, and upon seeing the Cat Girl beside Xin Yuehu, she immediately showed a panicked expression.
“It seems you’ve forgotten,” Su Tianqing grinned, “Miss Hyacinth, didn’t you agree to the condition that we would ‘do anything’?”
“Th-th-that… that was…”
Hyacinth was a little flustered.
Things were indeed as Nightingale had complained at the time: Hellcat, that battle-crazed war maniac, might not propose any conditions, but she would definitely collude with Xin Yuehu, acting as cat and fox in cahoots!
She didn’t know what kind of conditions Hellcat would propose, but if they were too excessive, she definitely wouldn’t agree!
“…Alright, tell me, what’s the condition.”
Hyacinth gritted her teeth and said,
“But let me say this first, nothing too excessive!”
“Hehe~ Don’t worry, Fox Fox will absolutely not make any excessive demands~”
A cunning smile appeared on the Golden Fox’s face, and Hyacinth’s heart trembled, suddenly feeling a little regretful.
But since she had already said so much, wouldn’t not agreeing make her seem untrustworthy?
Iris and Nightingale exchanged glances and couldn’t say anything more, as it was a condition Hyacinth herself had agreed to.
“I don’t think it’s that simple,” Nightingale whispered.
“Xin Yuehu suddenly bringing this up must have another purpose.”
“Yes, but after all, we did agree to their condition, so…” Iris replied, troubled.
But the words that came out of the Golden Fox’s mouth made everyone suddenly freeze:
“Then, Miss Hyacinth.”
“Fox Fox has a brand new magic that needs a test subject, I wonder if Miss Hyacinth… would be willing to take a hit from me?”
Silence.
Everyone exchanged glances, and Hyacinth was the first to shake her head.
“Do you take me for a fool? I wouldn’t do something that dangerous.”
“Don’t rush, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
The little fox grinned,
“I promise you, my next magic is not a damaging spell, and you can also have Miss Nightingale cast enough Magic Shields on you, so you definitely won’t get hurt~”
“…Really?”
“Really, when has Fox Fox ever lied to you?” Su Tianqing replied with a smile.
Hyacinth hesitated for a moment.
If it was under these conditions, then it might actually be acceptable, and she could also repay this favor, avoiding any future complications.
“Alright, I agree, but you have to give us time to prepare.”
Xin Yuehu was not in a hurry, floating side by side with Hellcat in the air, waiting.
Nightingale immediately cast all the defensive magic she could use on her companion—from Magic Shields to various specific armors for special magic, the thickness of which even made Iris gasp.
Such a thick shield… even with her own firepower, it would take several rounds of magic cannons, Nightingale’s potential as a Magic Girl was truly terrifyingly strong.
With such heavy defense, Xin Yuehu should have no way whatsoever…
“Are you ready, Miss Hyacinth.”
“Come on!”
Hyacinth entered the Star Shadow state, letting Bai Ling behind her return to Nightingale and Iris, raising her greatsword, and guarding strictly against the Golden Fox in front of her.
Looking at Hyacinth, who was like a turtle stacking a huge shield, Su Tianqing only felt even more delighted.
Very good, this is the appearance, only then is it worthy of the super powerful item that Ben Hu specifically exchanged for you with a free item exchange!
But if I want to maximize the seven-day strong control of the Qian Si Puppet, Ben Hu’s main body’s magic power doesn’t seem to be enough, I must use that move—
“Hehehe, it seems you are fully prepared, Miss Hyacinth.”
“Then… Fox Fox is going to attack now.”
The Golden Fox raised her hand and gently stroked the guardian star on her chest, blooming with the light of brilliant stars.
Not only Hyacinth and the other two, but even the Cat Girl and the Cheshire Rabbit lurking on the ground were suddenly startled,
“This starlight? …Wait a minute! Xin Yuehu! What on earth…!?”
Bai Ling cried out to Su Tianqing in horror.
But before she finished speaking, the Golden Fox had already reappeared from the starlight, and the Xin Yue Magic Wand appeared before everyone in a brand new form.
The edges of her skirt were adorned with countless stars, and ribbons extended like the Milky Way, paving a bright starry river.
Magic Girl Xinyue Hu ☆ Star Shadow!
“Wh-what?”
Hyacinth was full of astonishment and surprise.
Xin Yuehu… transformed into Star Shadow…?
How is this possible! Isn’t she a villain! Why can a villain without the favor of the stars also—
“Take this, Miss Hyacinth.”
Su Tianqing smiled and raised the silk thread in her hand, dangling the Qian Si Puppet, controlling the puppet to look up at Hyacinth.
Magic power was injected, and the puppet burst forth with dazzling starlight, enveloping the astonished Hyacinth!
…
A moment of silence.
Xin Yuehu’s Star Shadow only lasted for the duration of one spell before receding, and Hyacinth still maintained the posture of raising her greatsword, as if nothing had happened.
“…What happened?”
Nightingale was the first to recover from the shock, looking at the Golden Fox, who was no different from usual, and suddenly wondered if she had misseen something just now.
But the little fox enveloped in starlight in her memory was so clear, she definitely couldn’t have mistaken it.
“Hyacinth! Are you alright!”
Bai Ling was the first to react, rushing to Hyacinth’s side and shaking her shoulder.
Never mind what magic Xin Yuehu just used or what absurd villainous Star Shadow state she displayed, confirming Hyacinth’s condition was the most important thing!
The girl slowly lowered her greatsword, and seeing her unharmed appearance, Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
“Phew… Fortunately, you’re fine, I didn’t expect Xin Yuehu to also have Star Shadow, we must take her seriously!”
““…Yes, Fox Fox, also has Star Shadow.””
The words spoken in unison made everyone freeze again.
Hyacinth slowly turned around, the Golden Fox tried to raise her hand, and Hyacinth followed her movement, raising her hand as well.
At this moment, Hua Ling seemed to see countless starry threads attached to Hyacinth, like a Qian Si Puppet.
“Hyacinth” looked up at the two of them, a golden light flashed in her eyes, revealing a cunning smile identical to Xin Yuehu’s.
“It’s a pity, Miss Iris.”
【Hyacinth】 said softly, her tone exactly like a certain Golden Fox,
“Today, no one will stand in your way anymore~”
