“Jack the Ripper?”
After receiving information from Yue Tianxin, Su Tianqing became very curious about this name.
Even while waiting for the Autumn Osmanthus Squad and Hyacinth Squad to arrive, she was remotely controlling her familiars to investigate the Hero Association’s archives.
“Fox Fox, it’s all cleaned up here.”
“Alright! I’ll send the Monster over right away!”
Not far away, the Pink-haired Rabbit Girl waved and said to Su Tianqing, and the Golden Fox immediately responded, instructing a familiar to hand a Monster capsule to Cheshire Rabbit.
This was a sizable factory in the northern suburbs of Rong City.
Due to the strong demands from her fans, and the fact that they had sent a lot of Super Chats, Su Tianqing felt a bit embarrassed to take the money without doing anything, so she agreed to this fan’s request.
— I hope to see the Fox Fox Squad battle the Hyacinth Squad while on holiday during the Birthday Festival.
This was the fan’s request.
And this coincided with her plan for today:
Attack a certain location, attract the attention of the Autumn Osmanthus Squad and Hyacinth Squad, then ambush them, and produce a special Birthday Festival training program.
“Today, let’s do some traditional art. We’ll set up an ambush in the factory, and it’ll be a good chance for Doggy to practice.”
“I’m a wolf!”
Fenrir’s strange cry came from not far away.
The Golden Fox chuckled and appeased her. While controlling the Monster’s deployment, she also learned some confidential information from the archives through her familiar.
Jack the Ripper was not the official name given to that villain Magic Girl by the London Association.
This terrible moniker came from the Magic Girl circles in London, a civilian title.
But for such a bad reputation to spread among the populace, it naturally related to her deeds:
“Accused of twenty-five instances of large-scale urban destruction, eighteen instances of premeditated murder, and the summoning and control of Monsters.”
“The murder cases were heinous, causing multiple deaths, with extremely gruesome appearances.”
“The London Association issued an A-class wanted order, with a bounty of one million pounds.”
This was the statistics of her crimes in the archives, and she was even once on the London Association’s wanted list, but no one has apprehended her to this day.
Su Tianqing grabbed her somewhat disobedient tail, held it to her chest, and stroked it, pondering the last few words.
The summoning and control of Monsters.
In the Hero Association’s archives, apart from her own observation files, only this villain from London was described with this phrase.
Summoning Monsters was definitely not a normal magic. Even Inari, who was called a magical genius, admitted that she could not understand how she summoned Monsters.
After all, this was a special ability given to her by the secret codex, Su Tianqing thought.
Could it be… that this mysterious villain hidden in Rong City had some inexplicable connection with the secret codex in her hand?
“Fox Fox, they’re here.”
Just as Su Tianqing was about to delve deeper into the relationship, Hellcat, standing at a high point, suddenly spoke.
The four villains all looked towards the southern sky, where the magic trails from several flying spells were particularly conspicuous in the air.
The Hyacinth Squad from Rong City, and the Autumn Osmanthus Squad from Shan City, all dispatched!
“…Cat Cat, Rabbit, Doggy.”
The Fox Girl’s voice deepened slightly as she spoke to the three through magic communication,
“Take your positions according to the plan, await my command.”
…
The Magic Girls flew above the factory.
The factory area was quiet, with no trace of pedestrians, only a golden silhouette.
“Oh ho, quite a grand entrance, aren’t we?”
On the factory roof, Xin Yuehu sat leisurely on the eaves, looking at the Magic Girls who had stopped mid-air.
The Fox Girl had a charming smile on her face, seemingly friendly, but everyone knew this was definitely her expression when she was hiding a big move.
Not to mention that the roof was empty except for Xin Yuehu. This familiar scene made the Hyacinth Squad feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they almost immediately began constructing an all-around defense.
“…As soon as you returned from Hong Kong City, have you started causing trouble in Rong City again, Xin Yuehu?”
Hyacinth complained with a bit of helplessness, but still gathered her spirits to question her.
“Hehehe, after all, today is the Birthday Festival, and Fox Fox promised her fans to give them a holiday, so how can I break my promise?”
“Then your goal has been achieved, why are you still lingering at the factory?”
One of the Autumn Osmanthus Squad members asked, puzzled.
Winter Holly, she remembered her code name.
“Oh dear… Is this Miss Winter Holly’s first time meeting Fox Fox? It seems you completely don’t understand Fox Fox’s way of doing things.”
“Fulfilling my fans’ wishes makes Fox Fox happy, but if I were to leave so easily, Cat Cat and the others wouldn’t be so happy~”
“Miss Hyacinth must also enjoy fighting Cat Cat, right?”
“…Tsk.”
Hyacinth pouted and clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
Fighting Hellcat?
Like hell she did! She had barely won a few times fighting her!
But since Xin Yuehu said so, Hellcat must be hidden nearby, preparing to seize the opportunity to launch an att—
Before she finished speaking.
A deep blue light flashed across the sky, and the predatory Shrike descended from above, launching a full-speed assault towards her!
“Disperse!”
Hyacinth raised her greatsword and met the attack head-on, clashing directly with the descending Shrike. Magic power impacts scattered in all directions, stirring up a strong ripple.
Seemingly failing to land a hit, Shrike returned to Hellcat’s form, gracefully retreating several paces. Her cat fists were ready, but she was not in a hurry to attack.
“Hellcat…”
Hyacinth murmured, her expression serious.
“…What, are you not happy to see me?”
The Cat Girl said calmly, flexing all her joints, striking a nonchalant pose, but in fact, her attention was completely focused on Hyacinth.
“I’d be possessed if I could be happy. Tell me, how do you plan to fight today?”
“You’ve already understood, have you? That saves me a lot of time.”
The Cat Girl revealed a cruel, feline smile.
Compared to the close-quarters combat on Hellcat’s side, the situation of the remaining few was also not optimistic:
Cheshire Rabbit, as always, used her invisibility to entangle Iris, and the Autumn Osmanthus Squad was struggling to cope with the Monster legion that suddenly surrounded them.
Only Nightingale was left floating in the air, buffing her companions with defensive magic, while staring at Fenrir not far away.
“…Why isn’t she attacking?” Nightingale muttered to herself.
“…I’m standing here like this, why isn’t Nightingale using magic missiles on me?” Fenrir also pondered.
I really like the feeling of being hit by magic missiles, Fei Yelan thought.
That stinging sensation, that impact from the magic shield, was exactly what she craved!
Fox Fox probably knew her nature, and coupled with the fact that the villain team was here for fun, was that why she let herself play freely…?
But Nightingale’s reaction was too calm! Such a perfect attacking window, why wasn’t she attacking her!
Where was the submachine gun from Hong Kong City! Where were the .45 caliber magic bullets!
Ah… wait a minute, could this be a passive-type gameplay?
A joyful smile appeared on the Gray Wolf Magic Girl’s face, making Nightingale tremble with fear, and she quickly layered her own magic shield several times thicker.
Everyone had their own things to do, and everyone gained ample enjoyment.
…But for Hyacinth and the Autumn Osmanthus Squad, who were wailing, was there really any enjoyment?
