“Mercury’s Secret Words”
Yes, children, I’m back.
First, congratulations to Nan Xiaofeng on her promotion, and then, the essential step after winning the comeback match:
Man! What can I say!
The next morning.
Monday mornings are always full of energy.
Nan Xiaofeng leaned against the balcony, hearing the conversations of her classmates not far away.
“Cheshire Rabbit?”
“A pink Rabbit… So cute.”
“And her ceremonial dress is a special bunny girl outfit.”
During the break, everyone was discussing the new Magic Girl, even though this Magic Girl was a villain.
This made Nan Xiaofeng very unhappy.
What the heck! Yesterday, she was the one who rescued Tianqing Jie and protected everyone, so why was the pink-haired newcomer getting more attention?
Hua Ling silently watched Nan Xiaofeng sulking on the balcony and couldn't help but chuckle.
The news was released in the morning.
The Hero Association attributed yesterday's attack to the new Magic Girl, labeling her a villain like Xin Yuehu and assigning her the codename 【Cheshire Rabbit】.
According to Nan Xiaofeng, who had a brief skirmish with her, Cheshire Rabbit's magic power was ridiculously low, completely unlike the magic power reserves a Magic Girl should have.
“It feels strange.”
“She indeed has the aura of Star Realm Magic on her, but she couldn't even withstand one of my attacks.”
During lunch break, Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling sat in a corner of the playground, talking in hushed voices.
“Well… Xiaofeng, not many people can withstand one of your attacks, can they?” Hua Ling said with a wry smile.
“But then again, Xin Yuehu also appeared at that time, and even said she wanted to publicly apologize or something…”
“I don’t believe that bad Fox Fox would apologize!”
Nan Xiaofeng replied sullenly,
“That Cheshire Rabbit is a bad guy who targeted Tianqing Jie, and Xin Yuehu is with her, so she definitely has no good intentions either!”
“But if that’s the case…”
Hua Ling thought about it and was about to say something when both their phones suddenly vibrated.
They both pulled out their phones at the same time and looked at the notification bar.
【The streamer you follow has published a new video: Magic Girl Fox Fox Official】
“…It’s Xin Yuehu’s new video.”
“Let’s watch.”
The two exchanged glances, leaned in front of Nan Xiaofeng’s phone, and looked at the screen.
The video was still in the familiar rooftop setting.
But on the screen were two figures: Golden Fox sat on the left, and Pink-haired Rabbit Girl sat on the right, facing the camera side by side.
The Rabbit Girl hung her head and ears low, looking as if she had done something wrong.
The video title, “Fox Fox Rabbit Rabbit Apology Reply”
“It’s Fox Fox, yay”
“Is Rabbit Rabbit a newcomer?”
In just a moment, the bullet comments were already very dense; the two watching the video exchanged glances, completely unclear what was going on.
“Dear viewers and citizens, good evening everyone.”
“Ah, no, it should be morning when you see this video, so good morning everyone.”
Xin Yuehu said with a solemn expression.
“Last night, Ben Hu’s villain companion, a new villain Magic Girl who currently has no codename, caused great trouble to everyone because she fainted from hunger.”
After finishing her lines, Su Tianqing poked the bowing Pink-haired Rabbit Rabbit next to her with her elbow, then pointed at the camera with the tip of her tail.
The Pink-haired Rabbit Girl looked up, her cute little face covered in tears and snot, looking as if she had been severely reprimanded by Xin Yuehu.
“I’m sorry… boo hoo… Rabbit Rabbit, I, because I just became a Magic Girl, accidentally used up all my magic power… boo hoo hoo…”
“Be more sincere!”
“I’m sorry! I’m very sorry! It won’t happen again next time!”
The crying Magic Girl in the pink bunny girl outfit immediately ignited a flurry of bullet comments.
“Cheshire Rabbit is cute”
“Bunny girl is cute, aww”
“Is Rabbit Rabbit a newcomer”
Nan Xiaofeng’s eyelid twitched violently.
Although she was very familiar with Cheshire Rabbit’s appearance… seeing her tear-streaked, pitiful look, she really couldn't bear to harbor any ill will towards her.
She was apologizing very sincerely.
“Rabbit Rabbit will work hard to train my control over magic power in the future, and such an accident will definitely not happen again today!”
“That’s all for this video. Fox Fox will diligently train Rabbit Rabbit as a senior, ensuring that no further harm will be caused to everyone’s personal safety.”
A wave of “Fox Fox Grand Senior” bullet comments appeared, making Nan Xiaofeng’s other eyelid also begin to twitch violently.
The video ended, and Nan Xiaofeng exited the video app in time before it automatically played the Hyacinth’s immobilizing video.
The two looked at each other, speechless.
“Since Xin Yuehu now has another Cheshire Rabbit, then in the future, we…”
Hua Ling thought of a very crucial problem and said softly,
“Won’t we have to go three-on-three with them…?”
…
At the same time, Fox Fox’s Den.
Su Tianqing held the secret codex, sitting on the sofa, pondering with considerable distress.
Was she thinking about how to do today’s task?
Not at all!
“Picking a fight with Hellcat and Cheshire Rabbit against the Magic Girls, this task isn’t that simple.” Su Tianqing scoffed at today’s daily task.
Was she busy with the newly refreshed quest chain?
Not at all!
“Countermeasures for intensified special training for the Magic Girls… This task shows no signs of starting at all; it’s too early to think about it now.”
Golden Fox stared intently at the secret codex, racking her brains, almost plucking out a few hairs from her tail.
【Task Reward: secret codex Shop Self-Selected Item x1】
This was the culprit that made Su Tianqing so conflicted.
For the little Fox Fox, quest chains were something that could be easily solved, but only the “self-selected item” was very difficult.
Not to mention that the Hyacinth task also unlocked a new shopping page, and the new items were more overpowered than the last:
【Affection Viewer Glasses: View the target’s affection and methods to increase it, no target limit】
【Star Realm Connection Magic: Allow a Magic Girl to establish a connection with the stars, gaining the magic source of a legitimate Magic Girl】
【Qian Si Puppet: Control all actions of a Magic Girl, lasting 1-7 days depending on magic power】
Top-tier, very top-tier.
Just by looking at the functions of these items, Su Tianqing felt she could play all sorts of tricks.
One Star Realm Connection Magic could allow Cat Cat to draw magic directly from the Star Realm, which meant she could summon a full-mana Hellcat anytime, anywhere.
Su Tianqing recalled the scene of a full-mana Cat Cat easily beating Hyacinth with one hand.
What's the point of these legitimate Magic Girls even fighting? They might as well just disband!
Moreover, if Cat Cat had permanent full mana, wouldn't Ben Hu have no way to replenish her magic power!
No, the above is not the main reason.
To continue playing happily with the trio, Su Tianqing decided to temporarily seal this task reward.
She would only use an item to save the day if she was truly at her wit's end in the future!
“Let’s focus on what to do tonight first.”
Golden Fox closed the secret codex and muttered to herself.
Tonight’s task, for both herself and the legitimate trio, was a very challenging one:
【Task: All Members Present】
【Complete a daily task with Hellcat and Cheshire Rabbit: Picking a fight】
【Reward: 2000 divine code stone】
The task time was tonight.
Three-on-three, and she couldn't beat the Hyacinth trio too badly, otherwise Ben Hu would have to painstakingly soothe their emotions.
Su Tianqing racked her brains, thinking of countermeasures.
But on second thought, the “Fox Fox Mom” setting was indeed quite difficult; she had lost at least half her brain cells trying to conquer the Magic Girls.
Looking at the task to unlock a new wand form, Su Tianqing suddenly had a wonderful idea.
If Ben Hu had a new form… what about the other Magic Girls?
Since it’s a classic magical girl series, it’s normal for the protagonists to have a new form, right!
“…Heh heh.”
Villain Fox Fox curled her lips, having a brilliant plan.
Bound Magic Girls are certainly pitiful,
But blooming in a new form in despair and fighting back passionately, that’s the kind of Magic Girl Ben Hu wants to see!
“Then, let’s work towards this goal!!”
Villain Fox Fox, full of fighting spirit!
