An hour and a half later.
Su Tianqing sat beside a Hero Association ambulance tent, holding a warm cup of bubble tea and sipping it slowly.
It was 11 PM.
Outside the Hero Association’s First Association High School, layers of police tape almost completely blocked the road.
Reporters, carrying cameras, scurried about, trying to get firsthand news.
“Rong City TV, Rong City TV frontline reporter bringing you live coverage.”
“The Association High School was attacked by an unknown Monster. Magical Girl Hyacinth and Iris rushed to provide support and successfully annihilated the Monster ten minutes ago.”
“According to eyewitnesses, Hell Shrike, a Magic Girl who appeared before, also arrived at the scene. At the same time, another never-before-seen light yellow Magic Girl made an appearance.”
“Let’s shift our attention to this newcomer—”
Listening to the reporters speaking into their cameras not far away, Su Tianqing sucked two pearls into her mouth and chewed them carefully.
She had been carried out by Iris an hour ago.
Miss Iris’s hands were so slender, yet she could carry Ben Hu and fly. It seemed that the Magic Girls’ physical strength had indeed been significantly enhanced.
Why was Ben Hu so weak then?
After entrusting herself to the care of the Hero Association’s on-duty hero, Iris darted back with her magic cannon, various light effects emerging one after another.
She wondered if it was because she had said, “Thank you, Iris Meimei (Iris Little Sister)~” to her.
“—In any case!”
Not far away, three Magic Girls gathered together, accepting interviews from reporters.
“This is our new companion, the new Magic Girl!”
“Come and introduce yourself~”
“Ah… ah ah…”
The light yellow Magic Girl was pushed in front of the reporters, flashbulbs constantly flashing, capturing all of her adorable, shy, and reserved movements.
Su Tianqing also looked around curiously, met Lin Muyao’s gaze, and waved to her, bouncing up and down.
A lively and cute tender yellow short skirt, a puff-sleeved Western-style top, and a pair of pure white long gloves covering her forearms made up this clever new Magic Girl.
Seeing the Golden Fox with a small head and fluffy big ears occasionally popping out from behind the reporter team, Lin Muyao’s nervous mood immediately calmed down.
The girl took a deep breath and softly said to the reporters in front of her:
“Hello, everyone, I am… the newly promoted new Magic Girl…”
“In the future, I will continue to be active as a Magic Girl… and continue to protect everyone!”
The girl’s voice was clear and pleasant, full of vigor, earning a round of applause and cheers.
Su Tianqing was driven back to her rental apartment by a Hero Association car.
Lin Muyao went with the Golden Fox.
“My home is on the fourth floor over there, Muyao Meimei (Muyao Little Sister), you can drop me off here.”
Su Tianqing lightly turned on her toes, looking back at the girl behind her.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the somewhat old teacher’s apartment building in front of her.
“Then… Tianqing Jie, get some rest early. If you feel unwell, then…”
“I know, don’t worry about me. You should go back and rest early too.”
The Golden Fox smiled softly, her smile still as bright as ever.
Then, Su Tianqing took two steps forward, leaned close to the girl’s ear, and whispered:
“Today’s matter, I, your elder sister, will definitely keep it a secret for you.”
“！！！”
Lin Muyao trembled all over, immediately understanding what Su Tianqing was referring to.
—She was that tender yellow Magic Girl.
“Tianqing Jie… I…”
“Don’t worry, it will definitely be kept a secret~”
“And Mu Yao, your voice is really beautiful.”
“That’s it! Let’s go out and play together again next time~ Remember to sing for your elder sister!”
After speaking, the Golden Fox turned and ran towards the stairwell, waving and speaking, quickly disappearing around the corner of the staircase.
After a long while, Lin Muyao waved back blankly.
The girl lightly stood on her tiptoes, then slowly lowered her heels, pursing her lips, a slight smile forming at the corners of her mouth, and quickly walked towards the car parked at the entrance of the residential area.
Watching the car drive onto the main road and speed away, Su Tianqing let out a sigh of relief.
“I never expected Ben Hu to personally witness the birth of two Magic Girls…”
After muttering to herself, Su Tianqing plopped down onto the sofa, a strange sense of fatigue washing over her.
So much had happened today.
To win over Lin Muyao’s heart, she had even sacrificed her image to act as a Fox Fox Mom, and was almost slammed into a wall by her teammate Cat Cat with a punch.
Fortunately, Cat Cat’s strength when breaking down the door wasn’t too great at the time, and Lin Muyao successfully transformed in despair, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to return so unscathed.
【Quest: Righteous Expansion Plan, Completed】
【Quest: Companion’s Secret, Completed】
Completed!
The number of genuine Magic Girls had reached three! And she had also prevented Cat Cat from initiating an excessive magic power replenishment today!
Su Tianqing eagerly flipped the secret codex to the shop page.
But just as she was about to check the newly unlocked Fox Fox Wonderful Gadgets, the Golden Fox suddenly remembered something.
She still had a quest to do.
【Quest: Magic Power Replenishment】
【Replenish the magic power of Hellcat, who is in a state of magic power depletion, 0 / 1】
【Reward: Hellcat Affection + 1000】
Flipping back to the quest page and looking at this quest that could easily lead to a small dark room incident, Su Tianqing was momentarily lost.
This magic power replenishment… how exactly was it supposed to be replenished…?
She and Cat Cat hadn’t known each other for long. If the method was too strange, she probably couldn’t accept it.
But…
Looking at the data on the information page, Su Tianqing couldn’t bear to just leave it be.
【Hellcat】
【Magic Power Reserve: 1%】
【Magic power is completely dry, urgently needs replenishment】
Although not as good as Little Fish, she was also a cute Cat Girl. If she had to watch her suffer because of magic power depletion…
“Ah ah ah! Let’s just go and check the situation first!”
Su Tianqing held her head in her hands, groaning in distress.
Decided!
If Cat Cat replenished her magic power today using an acceptable method, then she would agree to her request for magic replenishment!
But if a strange method appeared during the magic replenishment process… as long as she communicated with her well, there shouldn’t be any problems!
Having made up her mind, Su Tianqing pulled out her Xin Yue Magic Wand, transformed into Xin Yuehu, and activated her teleportation magic, sending herself to the familiar office building rooftop.
As soon as she landed, the deep blue figure lying on the ground not far away caught Su Tianqing’s attention.
“…!”
“Cat Cat!?”
Su Tianqing rushed over in a panic and helped the fallen Cat Girl up.
The Cat Girl’s face was pale, her eyes tightly closed, and she could barely feel her breath, as if she was about to disappear.
Are you kidding me! Are the consequences that serious!?
“Cat Cat! Cat Cat, wake up! Cat Cat!!”
Su Tianqing vigorously patted the Cat Girl’s shoulder, trying to wake her up.
The deep blue Cat Girl opened her eyes, her heterochromatic cat eyes looking at the Golden Fox who was helping her up. A few beads of cold sweat suddenly trickled down the side of her face, and her expression was pained.
“Xin Yuehu?… So it’s you…”
“Back at Association High School… Thank you… Thank you for covering my retreat…”
“Don’t talk, your magic power is completely exhausted!”
Su Tianqing was a little anxious, fearing that this Cat Cat would faint without catching her breath.
The symptoms of magic power exhaustion were too severe!
The Cat Girl smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Yes, I haven’t found a suitable magic power replenisher for a while. I originally planned to go foraging today, but then…”
Can you imagine the feeling of a hamburger suddenly jumping up and slapping you in the face just as you’re about to eat it?
Nan Jiayu wanted to say that, but she no longer had the strength to complain.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about me. I just need to lie here… facing the starry sky for a night, and I can absorb a little magic power…”
A brief silence.
Su Tianqing looked at the Cat Girl in front of her, took a deep breath, and softly said:
“…Cat Cat, can your magic power only be replenished by ordinary girls?”
“Hmm?… Magic Girls are fine too. In fact, Magic Girls’ magic power is of higher quality and more suitable.”
“As long as it’s a Magic Girl, it’s fine?”
“Yes.”
“What’s your most common method of magic power replenishment?”
“…………”
Hellcat didn’t speak, silently looking at Xin Yuehu.
Her heterochromatic cat eyes widened, and after seeing Su Tianqing’s determined gaze, a blush quickly crept onto her face.
She thought of an unpleasant possibility.
“No… that, Fox Fox, you… this magic power replenishment…”
The Cat Girl gestured incoherently a few times, but then lacked the strength due to her entire body’s magic power depletion.
“I don’t want to see anyone in pain, Cat Cat, you too.”
Xin Yuehu said seriously,
“If you need it, Cat Cat, just take my magic power. Anyway, I have plenty of magic power.”
“But… but, the method of magic power replenishment… is… is that…”
“What is it?”
“…………”
After a long internal struggle, the Cat Girl looked up and crooked her finger at the Golden Fox, motioning for her to lean closer to listen.
Su Tianqing bent down, and after hearing the whisper, her eyes suddenly widened.
The stars were brilliant, the moonlight was clear,
The Milky Way spanned the entire sky, and the stars watched the dim rooftop, as if cheering in celebration.
