“What? The guardian star is lost?”
The next day, Hua Ling stood before Bai Ling and Nan Xiaofeng, bowing her head in apology.
“I was followed last night, and I might have accidentally dropped it while fumbling for my phone to call the police on the way…”
“Followed? Hua Ling, are you hurt?”
Nan Xiaofeng didn't care about the lost guardian star at all, asking Hua Ling with concern.
It was nine in the morning, and the two had met early in a nearby park, where Hua Ling immediately recounted what happened last night.
Hearing Nan Xiaofeng’s words, Hua Ling shook her head.
“I’m not hurt, I was just a bit scared when I was being followed, but thankfully, the security guard helped me.”
“It’s good that you’re okay.” Nan Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she turned her gaze to Bai Ling, who had been deep in thought.
“Bai Ling, is it serious that the guardian star is lost…?”
“It’s not serious. I heard from the Observer seniors that Magic Girls often encounter such accidents, so I prepared a lot of spares.”
With that, Bai Ling turned and opened her magic space, pulling out a brand-new guardian star from inside and handing it to the dumbfounded Hua Ling.
“Here, a new guardian star.”
“…So this thing is quite common?” Hua Ling asked, puzzled.
Bai Ling nodded.
“Of course.”
“Then if it’s lost… will anything bad happen?”
“In most cases, no.” Bai Ling confidently patted her chest and said,
“Although Magic Girls need the guardian star to transform, not everyone who gets a guardian star can become a Magic Girl.”
“Just like you and Mu Yao, Hua Ling, didn't you two fail your first transformation attempts? You must get the recognition of the stars.”
“For those who cannot use it, the guardian star is no different from an ordinary metal toy.”
“I see…”
Hua Ling nodded slightly, half-understanding.
But she suddenly thought of someone and looked up at Bai Ling, then asked:
“What about Xin Yuehu? She can use Star Realm Magic. Is she also recognized by the stars?”
“…”
Bai Ling fell silent.
After a long while, the Observer finally sighed, spreading her hands and shaking her head.
“Sigh… Although I really don’t want to admit it, my investigation results in the Star Realm a while ago were exactly that.”
“’As long as someone can freely draw magic from the Star Realm and use Star Realm Magic, she must have received the favor of the stars,’ that’s how the seniors explained it.”
“In other words, Xin Yuehu is essentially the same as you all; she is a Magic Girl who uses Star Realm Magic, except she is a Villain.”
Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling exchanged glances; clearly, this topic was beyond their comprehension, leaving them utterly confused.
…
At the same time, near Rongcheng Medical College, in the faculty apartments.
The alarm clock rang in the dim bedroom, and a small hand reached out from under the covers, hitting the alarm to stop it.
Fluffy ears twitched twice, and the petite girl sat up from under the covers, stretching her arms and letting out an indistinct whimper.
“Hmph—~”
“Slept enough! Today is Energetic Fox Fox!”
Villain Fox Fox happily bounced off the bed, turned to tidy the bedding and sheets, and pulled open the curtains, welcoming the Sunday morning.
It was as refreshing as putting on a brand-new cat paw panty on a Sunday morning!
Next, she summoned her sweeping familiar to clean the floor, summoned her laundry familiar to carry yesterday's clothes into the bathroom,
Finally, she had her kitchen familiar fry two slices of bacon and toast two slices of bread; she only needed to sit at the dining table and elegantly begin eating.
Villain Fox Fox's life was just that pleasant and elegant.
“Awoo… Mmm~ This bacon is quite delicious!”
After taking a bite of the bacon egg roll, Su Tianqing cupped her cheek, letting out a happy sound.
While happily wagging her tail and eating breakfast, Su Tianqing checked today's secret codex missions.
secret codex! Ben Hu commands you to give me lazy missions today too!
【Daily Mission 1: Alone with Hyacinth】
【Complete one-on-one communication with Hyacinth and learn about her past】
【Reward: 500 divine code stone】
【PS: Lazy? Dream on! Work hard for me today!】
The secret codex didn't forget to complain.
“Oh, work is work, don't be so fierce.”
Fox Fox conceded, muttering softly, and looked at the refreshed mission on the second page.
【Mission: New Magic Girl?】
【Investigate the newly promoted Magic Girl】
【Reward: 1000 divine code stone, new mission chain】
Su Tianqing’s action of eating the bacon egg roll suddenly froze.
Golden Fox rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she saw.
New Magic Girl??
What? Newcomer? Where did this newcomer come from?
She devoured her breakfast in a few bites, while directing the kitchen familiar to wash the dishes and pots, Fox Fox walked back to the sofa and sat down, seriously flipping through the secret codex.
After repeatedly confirming that the secret codex had no strange bugs, and repeatedly confirming that she hadn't done any strange Magic Girl recruitment HR activities recently,
Finally, Su Tianqing came to a conclusion:
“It must be the Observer’s fault!”
Fox Fox said with certainty.
Never thought, never thought, she had only been intensely observing Hyacinth for a few days, and the Observer actually pulled off such a big stunt for Ben Hu.
But things shouldn't be that simple.
Su Tianqing silently opened the intelligence page and stared at the Magic Girl and suitable candidate list.
Hyacinth, Iris, Nightingale.
The information of the three was clearly listed, and no new candidates were seen.
What’s going on? Didn’t it say there was a new Magic Girl? Where is she?
Flipping back and forth, no new name appeared, and Golden Fox confusingly tugged at her tail fur.
Could the secret codex be giving false information? But it shouldn't be, the mission has been issued, why in the world—
Before the thought finished, Su Tianqing's gaze fell on the second page.
【Villain Magic Girl List】
【Hellcat (Hell Shrike)】
【Magic Reserve: 95%】
Originally, there was only one person on this list, but below it, several lines of unfamiliar text suddenly appeared:
【???】
【Magic Girl with unconfirmed codename】
【Magic Reserve: 3%】
What? Villain?
How did Ben Hu inexplicably gain a companion??
Looking at her mere 3% magic reserve, Su Tianqing felt a headache coming on.
This is bad, quite bad.
If it was just supplementing the Cat Cat's magic, she could accept some intimate gestures, but if there was one more…
Ben Hu is a pure-love Fox Fox, absolutely cannot accept such casual relationships!
…Or should I use the method Cat Cat mentioned, like sucking fingers or licking necks?
It just feels even more embarrassing.
“But no matter what, it’s bad!” Su Tianqing cried out, holding her head in her hands.
Even if we don't talk about magic replenishment, isn't the delicate balance between good and evil completely broken now!
Before Hyacinth masters new power, Cat Cat alone can firmly suppress her, and also free up her hands to restrain Iris or Nightingale,
And the Monsters Ben Hu summons can also stably restrain one person, moreover, Ben Hu's main body is not completely without combat power; a teleportation spell followed by a binding spell can also deal with Iris.
But if there's one more Villain…
“…Anyway, let's get today's mission done first!”
Su Tianqing decided to temporarily put this mission aside and focus on Hyacinth.
Today, she must seize this opportunity to be alone and completely deal with Hyacinth!
