The Suicheng Hero Association is not large in scale, but it excels in experience, being composed of seasoned heroes.
Although not as formidable as the Rongcheng Hero Association, which has six S-Class Heroes stationed there, it still possesses powerful S-Class mainstays like "Thousand Eyes" and "Weight."
There's even Red Rose, the world's first Magic Girl—currently enjoying a thrilling vacation.
"So, those are the kids who ran over from your Rong City?"
A slightly older uncle stood in front of the Hero Association's frontline command department, looking out at the Magic Girls standing on the Suicheng Tower, playing a high-altitude drop ride.
Xin Yuehu, Cheshire Rabbit, and Hellcat sat side by side in the drop ride seats, happily enjoying the thrilling amusement.
"Mm-hmm, what's wrong, Thousand Eyes? Is this your first time seeing kids who call themselves villains?"
Meteor moved a camping chair and sat beside the uncle, taking small sips of hot tea from her thermos.
"...It is indeed my first time. It makes one reflect on the commotion Mercury and Red Rose caused when they fought in the past."
Thousand Eyes sighed, glanced at the dozen or so screens displaying different scenes, and carefully observed the Magic Girls' movements.
However, the perception-blocking from Star Realm Magic gave him a headache. After watching for a while, he felt dizzy and nauseous, so he chuckled wryly, turned off the screens, and simply sat beside Meteor.
"Want some tea? It's excellent Bamboo Leaf Green."
"No thanks. I'm old, and if I drink tea at night, I won't be able to sleep."
Meteor smiled slightly but still handed a cup of hot tea to the uncle beside her.
The person beside her was the seasoned S-Class Hero "Thousand Eyes," who had diligently served in Sui City for many years. His psychic ability, "Thousand Eyes," allowed him to simultaneously process and coordinate up to a thousand surveillance feeds.
According to him, he could combine all the visual feeds in his mind into a comprehensive 3D image, detecting every move in every corner.
"Your psychic ability seems to struggle with the Magic Girls' perception-blocking," Meteor said playfully.
The uncle smiled helplessly.
"Yes, their magic can disrupt my perception of the images, directly causing the images in my mind to become a tangled mess, making it impossible to construct an accurate information database."
"Then you should rest well, Uncle Thousand Eyes. Those three kids are just playing around."
"Do you think I'm worried about Xin Yuehu and them?" Thousand Eyes' wry smile remained, turning even more bitter when he saw the emerald magic trails in the sky.
He pulled out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and activated the all-channel broadcast.
"Attention all units, Maisui Squad is on-site! Damage control teams, immediately take your positions! There must be no mishaps!"
Meteor listened silently to the bustling activity on the walkie-talkie and couldn't help but sigh.
Only in Sui City could one witness such a spectacle—the Hero Association was not strictly guarding against self-proclaimed villains, but rather against righteous heroes known as public facility destroyers.
.
Su Tianqing happily bounced off the amusement ride, wagging her tail excitedly.
"This is fun, but it's only when I'm transformed that I don't feel dizzy. It's a bit of a shame."
"Ugh..."
Xia Taotao timidly shrank her head, not daring to reply. She gripped her magic staff tightly and looked at the scattered drones in the surrounding air.
"Fox Fox, look, the drones around us are all flying away. Are Green Vine and the others almost here...?"
"It's fine, just like we practiced beforehand, it'll definitely be alright!" Golden Fox smiled slyly.
Catcat Rabbitrabbit exchanged glances. Although they both knew that Xin Yuehu was Tianqing, if they were to connect that sunny Fox Fox with the devilish Xin Yuehu...
It was actually quite exciting, and she liked it even more, Nan Jiayu thought to herself.
"It seems Mai Sui didn't come with Green Vine and the others. Do you have any idea why?" Cat Girl said softly, glancing at the three magic trails in the sky.
"Perhaps she had something on today, so she didn't come? Speaking of which, she ran off to Rong City a while ago."
"But if that's the case..."
Golden Fox lowered her eyes, her tail wagging from side to side as she pondered.
Since Green Vine and the others were coming to stop her, wouldn't retreating now mean she couldn't have fun with Hyacinth?
No, that wouldn't do. Since she had already decided to provoke Hyacinth, she couldn't retreat just because Green Vine was coming. Instead, she should find another way to challenge Hyacinth and the others—
"I've got it! This is how we'll do it!"
Su Tianqing chuckled, her face beaming with delight.
...
Three Magic Girls stopped in the sky, looking at Golden Fox leisurely humming a song while sitting on the edge of the Suicheng Tower's Ferris wheel.
Her golden fluffy tail swayed behind her, radiating brilliant magic halos as she softly hummed.
"Xin Yuehu!"
The leading Magic Girl took two steps forward and said to Golden Fox,
"You are disturbing the order of Sui City without authorization! We are here to stop you!"
"Oh my, isn't this Miss Green Vine? Hello, Miss Green Vine. Is this our first meeting?"
Golden Fox smiled and waved hello.
Green Vine hesitated for a moment, unsure what to do.
Should she directly greet an opponent who was saying hello with a magic cannon? It didn't seem to follow the rules.
Moreover, Xin Yuehu was occupying the Suicheng Tower. If a magic cannon were to demolish the city's landmark building, she would likely face considerable public criticism...
Plus, with Mai Sui, the public facility destroyer, no longer in the squad, the three of them absolutely had to adhere to the rules!
"...Green Vine, stop wasting time with her. We need to find a way to make her leave the Suicheng Tower!"
Violet, from behind, quickly reminded her companion, her gaze fixed on the seemingly well-behaved Fox Fox with a smile.
Although Xin Yuehu looked charming and adorable, she had a bad feeling:
"Something's not right. Did you notice that Hellcat and Cheshire Rabbit—"
"—What about them?"
A whisper suddenly came from right behind her.
Violet was scared out of her wits and frantically turned around, intending to swing her magic staff to attack, but what greeted her was a Rabbit Hammer with Rabbit ears printed on it!
"Bang!"
"Woah?!"
Violet took a direct hit from Cheshire Rabbit's stealth attack. Her magic shield instantly shattered, and she plummeted from the sky, letting out a painful cry.
The petite Rabbit Girl in a pink bunny suit emerged from her invisible state, a crescent-shaped, eerie smile on her lips, and a look of obsession in her eyes.
"Ah ah... It's this kind of wail... Miss Violet..."
"Violet!! ...Damn it, attack her quickly!"
The pure white Magic Girl shouted, trying to rescue the falling Violet while raising her magic cannon towards Cheshire Rabbit.
But the cat paw gauntlet gripping the magic cannon's barrel made Edelweiss freeze.
"Acting rashly before clearly assessing the battlefield situation? You're just like Mai Sui, far inferior to Hyacinth and the others."
Hellcat's figure appeared before Edelweiss at some unknown moment. After a simple taunt, her cat paw gauntlet delivered a heavy punch to Edelweiss's chest!
In an instant, two members of Green Vine's squad lost their combat effectiveness, leaving only Green Vine, who was holding her magic cannon and looking around blankly.
"Heh heh heh... It seems you ladies have absolutely no experience dealing with us Fox Fox, Miss Green Vine."
Su Tianqing's joyful smile became even more prominent.
Green Vine looked in horror at the Cancer and Leo Magic Girls who had appeared beside her, her heart filled with fear.
The screams of the Magic Girls echoed in the night sky.
.
"Just ahead! Towards Suicheng Tower!"
Several magic trails streaked across the sky and stopped by the Suicheng Tower.
Hyacinth looked up at the Xin Yuehu trio standing on the edge of the tower's summit, then glanced at the Green Vine trio, who were securely tied to the high-altitude drop ride seats behind her, and gritted her teeth.
"Damn it... We're too late..." Hyacinth muttered.
"Heh heh heh, you're finally here, Hyacinth."
Xin Yuehu turned to look at the Rong City squad, who had arrived in a hurry, and at Mai Sui, who was intently staring at her bound teammates, her face beaming with smiles.
"Good evening, Miss Hyacinth. After so many days, I didn't expect us to meet in Sui City. This must be our destiny, wouldn't you agree?"
"You stop that!"
Hyacinth, enraged, raised her greatsword and shouted at Golden Fox,
"Release Green Vine and the others immediately! Otherwise, I'll..."
"Mm-hmm? Otherwise, you'll what?" Su Tianqing said with a smile, leaning forward and wagging her tail with interest.
"Does Miss Hyacinth want to lock me, Fox Fox, in a small room and do this and that? Or perhaps... like last time...?"
"You, you, you, what are you talking about?! I would never do that!"
Looking at Golden Fox's smiling fox eyes, Hyacinth seemed to recall what had happened in the Mindscape World and quickly denied it loudly, her face flushed.
"Haha, still as cute as ever, Miss Hyacinth."
Su Tianqing couldn't stop smiling, happily floating into the air and gracefully sitting on her magic staff, her appearance charming and nimble, yet still wearing that devilish smile.
"Since you're all here, how about playing a game with me, Fox Fox?"
"If you win, I'll release Miss Green Vine, but if you lose..."
Golden Fox's eyes were filled with expectant amusement.
"'Magic Mouse Adventure,' I'm really looking forward to the second season!"
