“Hello? Is that Mu Yao?”
“...Mm, it’s me.”
Nan Xiaofeng’s voice came from the other end of the line, and Lin Muyao replied calmly.
Last night, she learned the true identities of Hyacinth and Iris—they were her newly made friends, Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling.
Although she was somewhat surprised, as teammates, being honest with each other would lead to better cooperation and assistance, and Lin Muyao understood that very well.
But there was still a sense of bewilderment in her heart.
“Did you see Xin Yuehu’s video? She’s going to attack Qiuxi Road tonight! We have to stop her!”
“I’ll be there shortly; we’ll meet up there.”
“Okay, Hua Ling and I will also hurry over as soon as possible!”
The call ended, and Lin Muyao silently put her phone back in her pocket, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
“Whew...”
After officially becoming a Magic Girl, Lin Muyao was quite happy.
After all, this was something she had always dreamed of, and she never thought there would actually be a day when it came true.
But what she didn't expect was that on her first day of official employment, she would have to face a super tricky opponent—
The villain Magic Girl, 【Xin Yuehu】.
And another villain Magic Girl who hadn't been in Rong City for very long, 【Hell Shrike】.
She was a little nervous.
With a hint of anticipation, Lin Muyao stood straight on the roof of the teaching building, reaching into her pocket for the golden cross star.
Magic Girl 【Nightingale】,
Transform.
...
Evening, 6:30 PM.
Golden Fox landed gracefully from the air, her toes lightly touching down, completing a perfect landing.
Ten points!
Golden Fox stepped back and curtsied to the empty street, opening her pair of emerald fox eyes.
Qiuxi Road, the most prosperous commercial district in Rong City.
No matter when, this place was always bustling with people, countless residents and travelers strolling along this not-so-spacious street square, weaving between high-rise buildings and shopping malls, injecting surging vitality into the area.
However, such a bustling street was now dim and deserted.
“...It’s truly a sight I’ve never seen before.”
After a long silence, Su Tianqing said softly, a playful smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
Although it had lost its former prosperity, only like this could it become her perfect playground.
【Daily Quest 1: Find Fault】
【Villains versus Heroes, two against three, confident?】
【Reward: 300 divine code stone】
.
【Quest: New Beginnings】
【Complete one daily quest, the target of 'Find Fault' must include Miss Nightingale】
【Reward: 800 divine code stone】
Su Tianqing glanced at the quest bar on the secret codex, raising an eyebrow.
The Monster capsules pre-buried by her familiar were ready; she could feel its surging vitality and its desire to break out of the ground.
“But, if you’re in such a hurry to come out now, you wouldn’t be a good child, you know.”
Su Tianqing murmured to herself, sending an instruction to the Monster.
Everything fell silent.
There was still some time before the scheduled moment, so it was fine to wait a bit longer here.
Thinking of this, Su Tianqing raised her right hand and gently waved it.
A long bench formed from magic power immediately appeared behind her, and Golden Fox plopped down, humming softly.
A melodious, lingering song echoed through the street.
It wasn't until a familiar whooshing sound broke the air that Su Tianqing's humming stopped, and she looked up.
A Cat Girl wearing a fitted cloak floated in the air.
Seeing her wagging her tail and greeting her from the ground, the dark blue Cat Girl immediately transformed from her Shrike form into a gorgeously dressed maiden, landing gracefully.
“Good evening, Kitty~ Have you eaten?”
“Just did.”
Hellcat nodded slightly, walked to the long bench where Golden Fox was sitting, and sat down directly.
Su Tianqing tilted her head to look at the Cat Girl beside her, narrowed her eyes, and grinned,
“Kitty, you look very energetic.”
“...Mm.”
The Cat Girl paused slightly, then nodded gently.
She had almost never felt such abundant magic power; such a full reserve of magic power was her first experience since becoming a Magic Girl.
“Do you feel better?” Su Tianqing continued to ask.
Hellcat’s cheeks flushed, she coughed twice, and nodded in response.
The smile on Golden Fox’s face grew wider.
She didn't expect Kitty to be as reserved and shy as ever; just mentioning what happened last night made her blush so much.
“But then again, so that’s how you replenish magic power. Kitty, have you always done that with other girls before?”
“No! Of course not!” Hellcat quickly denied,
“When I used to replenish my magic power, it was... it was that... it was never like yesterday!”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“Not lying to me?”
“Of course not!”
“Then why yesterday did you...?”
As she spoke, Su Tianqing leaned closer to Hellcat, her fingertip lightly touching her.
Hellcat tried to avert her gaze but was involuntarily drawn in by those enchanting fox eyes.
Golden fluffy ears, soft long hair, fair and tender skin, and those crystal-clear emerald fox eyes that seemed to sparkle...
Nan Jiayu swallowed.
“Because you have plenty of magic power, I thought that method of replenishment might be more efficient and relieve the symptoms faster...”
“And it was my first time replenishing magic power that way too! Besides, the atmosphere was right then!”
The Cat Girl babbled incoherently, gesticulating with her hands and feet,
“Anyway, anyway, it really was my first time like that! I’m very sorry if I caused you any trouble!”
“Mm-hmm~ What an unforthcoming little Kitty~”
“There was also a bit of that in it... Wait a minute! No, no! What does ‘like’ mean!?” Hellcat suddenly reacted, her cheeks bright red, and she shouted loudly.
Before Hellcat could continue, a harsh magical hum suddenly came from afar.
Both of them looked up simultaneously, gazing at the three unmistakably prominent magic trails in the sky.
Su Tianqing wore a mischievous, triumphant grin, and Hellcat’s eyes immediately lowered. Her Cat Cat gauntlets appeared in her hands, and she immediately floated into mid-air with Xin Yuehu.
.
Hyacinth braked in mid-air, looking at the two small figures quietly waiting in the sky.
Hellcat, with her Cat Cat gauntlets crossed in front of her, and Xin Yuehu, sitting on her staff, swinging her feet and fox tail, were already in position.
Their yellow-green heterochromatic cat eyes and emerald fox eyes each emitted a sharp light, like seeing a new toy.
“Oh my, you’ve finally arrived, Miss Hyacinth.”
Su Tianqing said with a light chuckle.
Her gaze fell behind Hyacinth, and she glanced at the two pure white and tender yellow maiden figures following closely behind.
The elegant and pure Iris, the charming and clever Nightingale.
Both held their staves tightly, their eyes firm, exuding a mighty aura of determination to protect the city.
Ah ah... It's this aura, this firm will, only then can one be called a Magic Girl!
Golden Fox’s eyes held a little more enchantment.
“The three of you came here specifically to stop Fox Fox, didn’t you? Fox Fox is truly very happy.”
“Stop spouting nonsense! Xin Yuehu!”
Hyacinth shouted loudly,
“You’ve attacked the city multiple times, causing very severe damage! We will definitely stop you today!”
“Surrender now!”
Without another word, Hyacinth summoned her greatsword and leaped, slashing through the air with unstoppable momentum!
Just charge up and beat them first—that was Hyacinth’s consistent combat style.
And according to the intelligence Bai Ling brought back from the Star Realm, although Xin Yuehu’s magic power was bottomless, she relied heavily on the Monsters she summoned to fight, so she had to be taken down first!
However, a pair of Cat Cat gauntlets stopped Hyacinth’s further advance.
“Hyacinth, watch out!”
Nightingale cried out in alarm, and Hyacinth caught a glimpse of a dark blue shadow out of the corner of her eye. She hastily raised her greatsword to block, but was still sent flying by that furious brute force with a single punch!
“CRASH!!!!”
“Whoa?!”
Hyacinth, sent flying backward, was violently smashed into a nearby building. After the rubble and dust scattered, her disheveled figure emerged from the ruins.
Hyacinth was enveloped in a layer of tender yellow magic shield, which had now shattered into pieces, dispersing into magic particles.
Hellcat slowly retracted her cat punch, shook her wrist, and a hunter’s smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
