Chapter 14: The Stained Core
Staring at her older sister, Fei Ren was stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard. Meanwhile, Xing Hua continued to play with her phone, her thoughts straightforward…
What’s the point of revealing one’s strength? Those with more ability have to do more work! Just look at Meng Yue… she revealed herself as the so-called strongest magical girl, which led to her being on standby 24/7! Basically, as soon as a monster appears, she has to be there immediately!
Compared to Meng Yue, Xing Hua and Fei Ren were much more relaxed! After all, usually before they could even set out, Meng Yue would have already taken care of the monsters, unless there were too many monsters or it was a large-scale mission like yesterday, where they basically didn’t have to move.
Fei Ren was constantly troubled by her inadequate strength, unable to eliminate more monsters! Xing Hua, on the other hand, lived her life however she pleased, even though her actual strength wasn’t any worse than Meng Yue’s. It was much better to live lazily…
“But sister… since we’ve chosen to become magical girls, we must fully commit ourselves to protecting humans and eliminating monsters!”
Clenching her fist, Fei Ren said with righteous indignation, “Didn’t you choose this path for these very reasons? Once you’ve made that choice, you can’t just give up! Isn’t striving for justice good?”
At that time, I didn’t know that magical girls couldn’t harm humans…
Xing Hua thought to herself but couldn’t bring herself to say it. She remembered when she signed a contract with the contract fairy Pabi, she had seriously asked Pabi:
“Can magical girls attack humans?”
Looking at the floating white plushie, Ling Li, still a regular girl back then, urgently asked, “Or put it bluntly… let me become a magical girl, but I want to use this power to attack a few people! Can you tell me if it’s possible?”
In response to her question, the contract fairy Pabi replied sincerely, “Of course you can. However, don’t let me find out. As a contract fairy, I certainly cannot allow a magical girl to harm others recklessly. After all, this power was given to you to protect humans!”
Thus, Ling Li happily signed the contract with Pabi to become a magical girl. Then, she realized that once she transformed, every move she made would be known to Pabi! Therefore, no matter what, Pabi would stop Ling Li from harming humans!
“I’m not lying,” Pabi said innocently in response to Ling Li’s accusation. “As long as you can find a way to keep it from me, you can use the power of a magical girl to attack humans.”
But in fact, as soon as a magical girl transforms, she forms a connection with Pabi. To sever that connection, she must untransform… but then she wouldn’t be able to use the power of a magical girl to attack humans anymore!
Since she hadn’t become a magical girl for any noble reason, Xing Hua naturally got used to slacking off during missions. Each time she went to the scene, it was only because Pabi threatened her, saying if she didn’t want her secret known by her sister…
Originally, due to Meng Yue’s presence, Xing Hua’s slacking off didn’t make much of a difference. But now, Meng Yue was missing.
It was Pabi who told the sisters that Meng Yue was missing. Xing Hua and Fei Ren always believed Meng Yue was chasing after the monster leader. They never imagined she could lose, and had even started planning a celebration party.
Then, late at night, Pabi suddenly floated over and told them Meng Yue would be missing for a long time, entrusting them with the responsibility of protecting Starry Sky City!
“Tsk…”
Scratching her hair, Xing Hua suddenly realized an important issue. Although she could slack off with her sister, Pabi likely knew about her concealing her strength!
Pabi was much harder to deal with than her sister! If it told Xiao Nai her secret, how would Xiao Nai view her in the future?
If her own sister found out she was such a pervert, how could she go on living? Although Xing Hua seemed indifferent to her sister, she truly cared deeply about her only sister…
Thinking of this, Xing Hua stood up solemnly and said, “Xiao Nai, I’m really sorry! I never expected you to say something so responsible! Compared to me as a magical girl… I suddenly feel quite ashamed!”
“Huh?”
Seeing her sister, who was just slacking off, suddenly take on a serious expression as if reflecting, Ling Nai initially thought she was mistaken. Rubbing her eyes, she finally showed a happy expression!
“Sister! You finally understood!”
Grabbing Xing Hua’s hand, Ling Nai said excitedly, “Exactly! Since we chose to be magical girls, we should protect humans and eliminate monsters! As long as you take this seriously, even if Sister Meng Yue isn’t here, we can still protect Starry Sky City!”
Ah yes… That makes sense. If it weren’t for not wanting to ruin my image in front of you, I wouldn’t bother doing such thankless work! I wonder how Pabi found out my secret, that darn rag doll!
Although she thought this, Xing Hua still smiled on the surface, looking determined to fulfill her duties as a magical girl alongside Ling Nai. However, her heart was full of worries!
From now on, she would have to be on standby 24/7 like Meng Yue, without overtime pay… Damn it!
Sister Meng Yue, where did you go? Hurry back! You chased the monster leader, right? Can’t be that you were killed by the monster leader, right?
—————————-
“Miaowuu!!!”
However, the Meng Yue that Xing Hua was thinking about was being fed fried fish fillets in the monster leader’s room. She hadn’t eaten anything so delicious for a long time, so she was incredibly happy!
But will this guy make me crawl on all fours for the rest of my life?
While chewing on the fish fillets, Meng Yue thought to herself. Mainly, it was impossible to fully enjoy the food just by using her mouth. If she could sit properly at the table and eat normally, she would surely have a better dining experience, right?
Now, Meng Yue had forgotten her initial intention to pretend she couldn’t walk. Even to get to the table, she began thinking about walking normally, damn owner, don’t treat her like a pet cat for the rest of her life…
Fortunately, Bai Yu wasn’t that crazy. After lunch, he started teaching her to walk on two feet. After all, if Meng Yue could only crawl in the dark, it would be inconvenient in some situations…
And during the process of learning to walk, Meng Yue pretended to be unstable, hitting Bai Yu’s head several times, then acting innocent to tease the monster leader!
“Hehe~ I can walk like the master now!”
After a long day, Meng Yue finally happily walked barefoot on the ground, jumping and cheering as if she was learning to walk for the first time!
Only, it seemed like a misunderstanding. Although Meng Yue could walk normally, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable… She felt strangely that walking on all fours might be faster!
Damn it! I’m going to develop psychological problems here! All because of that damn master!
Shaking her head, Meng Yue shook off her random thoughts and turned around, pleading, “Master, I’m hungry~~~ Miaowuu!”
At this moment, Bai Yu was staring at Meng Yue’s chest with a strange look.
What’s going on?
Through the white text of Xue Nai, Bai Yu saw purple glows appearing on the light ball in Meng Yue’s chest, and these glows were spreading over time!
By rights, the core of a magical girl should be pure. How could it be stained? Could this also be related to the forbidden magic I used before?
