Chapter 521 Not as good as the fox's big hand
Su Tianqing sat on the villain's rooftop, staring at the secret manual in her hand.
The contents of the book haven't changed much since I flipped through it yesterday... if you exclude the changes to the daily tasks and the Divine Stones.
To save time, I'm currently having my familiars read through the secret manuals. This allows me to monitor changes in missions and information more closely, which is much more convenient.
However, when faced with some key issues, Su Tianqing still prefers to consult books herself.
For example—new eccentric traits.
Sonic boom reflection
Looking at the newly added item in the list of eccentric traits, Su Tianqing felt quite helpless.
It is indeed useful, after all, it is my only means of "physical counterattack" at present.
Of all the strange characteristics I had collected before, I only had the Crab Monster and the Cancer Witch's [Magic Cannon Reflection] ability, which was perfect for countering firepower-type characters like Iris.
Now that there's an additional physical damage reflection method, Su Tianqing felt she should be happy, but after trying out the specifics of the feature, she fell into a state of confusion.
—This characteristic is exactly the same as the piano freak's ability; the rebounding sound waves can cause large-scale damage to the surrounding environment, which is beyond his control.
"In short, it should absolutely not be used in the city."
The golden-haired fox girl muttered to herself, then casually used this trait on some random monster as a way to unlock her collection. She threw it into the magic space along with the monster capsule that resembled a giant beast and locked it away.
Who knows, it might come in handy someday, Su Tianqing thought.
Before she could even check what new fox-themed gadgets had appeared in today's mystery shop, her phone rang, making Su Tianqing abruptly stop:
"Ding-dong~"
[A friend sent a new message: Hua Ling]
Hmm? News about Hua Ling?
Su Tianqing habitually opened her contact list, clicked on the message from Hua Ling, and wondered what kind of message she might see—
Hua Ling: [Good morning, Tian Qing-jie!]
Su Tianqing: [Good morning!]
A meme featuring a fox waving.
[You're up so early, is there something you need from me?]
Hua Ling: [There are some special things I'd like to talk to Tian Qing about. Are you free today? If you're busy...]
I'm free all day today~ Let's arrange to meet somewhere!
Hua Ling responded with a salute emoji, while Su Tianqing sent a fox-shaped emoji clutching its heart, thus ending their brief chat.
...To be honest, I'm actually quite intimidated by girls like Karin.
Looking at the WeChat messages, Su Tianqing thought to herself.
If Nan Xiaofeng is the kind of arrogant, hot-blooded, and idiotic character who seems to be relegated to the background but is actually still the protagonist, then Hua Ling is the kind of landmine girl who is harmless on ordinary days but will explode on the spot if stepped on.
In a physical sense, she is capable of blowing up the other side, and is even the most dangerous of the Starry Shadows I have ever seen.
This forced Su Tianqing to take every conversation with Hua Ling seriously, fearing that she might push her back into that dark form.
What? You're asking why the other two Star Shadows aren't as dangerous as Flower Bell?
Because she almost blew me away last time!
.
Not knowing what Hua Ling wanted to talk to her about, Su Tianqing decided to make thorough preparations.
Little Fish has scheduled an exam today to earn credits; Aurora and Xia Taotao are still recovering from colds; Fei Yelan seems to have something to do as well. This fox rarely has a day when he's utterly bored.
How did Hua Ling know that I was bored and idly tugging at my tail today? Could it be that she secretly installed a camera in her house?
While pondering various things, Su Tianqing sat at the agreed meeting place, wagging her tail and browsing the magical girl forum on her phone, conducting an intensive self-search using an anonymous account.
From the highly popular "Fox Powder Gathering Water Experience Thread" with its nonsensical spam content, to the even more nonsensical debate thread "I say Red Rose will definitely beat Heart Moon Fox, come and argue if you disagree," Su Tianqing browsed with great interest.
When Hua Ling arrived, the two greeted each other warmly and exchanged pleasantries for a while. Su Tianqing couldn't wait to ask Hua Ling what she wanted to talk about when she asked to meet her today.
Sitting in the artsy, casual bookstore, Hua Ling brought over two glasses of lemonade and began to tell Su Tianqing about the current situation.
She told Su Tianqing everything, from Bai Ling's request to her contact with the winged Sasha, and what happened afterward.
After listening to Hua Ling's account, Su Tianqing finally understood the current progress on Sasha's side.
In truth, he never believed Bai Ling's mysterious boast that "Sasha will definitely be dealt with within three days!" and had been secretly preparing a backup plan to turn the tables.
Judging from Hana Rin's situation, many of the backup plans she had prepared in advance were no longer of any use.
"I see... Bai Ling and Xiao Yue want to develop that winged girl into a magical girl, so they came to ask you, Karin, to investigate her..."
"Yes, Sasha's magical talent is really amazing. This scarf of mine was knitted by her own hands."
Hua Ling smiled as she showed off the exquisite knitted scarf around her neck. The delicate patterns and crocheting skills drew praise from Su Tianqing.
"It's very pretty, and it suits your personality perfectly, Hana Rin."
"I hadn't thought that much about it, but that's exactly what I'm worried about..."
Hua Ling gently shook her head, talking to herself.
"I feel like I don't have the ability to handle all of this, and I don't know how to face Sasha."
"I've thought for a long time about how to start a conversation with Sasha, but I just can't find a way to do it, so..."
"So you've come to me for help? Don't worry, I promised you I'd definitely come up with a solution~"
Su Tianqing gave a thumbs up, her fox tail swaying from side to side, radiating confidence.
Magical combat may not be my area of expertise, but as the mastermind behind the scenes, I am extremely skilled at intelligence gathering and planning.
Next, starting from the subtle details, Su Tianqing gave Hua Ling a detailed analysis of how to gain a deeper understanding of the winged Sasha.
"First of all, you can't be too direct. You've only known each other for a few days and haven't established a strong relationship of trust with Sasha yet. Rushing into things might even break your current friendship."
"Furthermore, in my opinion, becoming a magical girl is something that absolutely cannot be forced; we must consult Sasha herself first."
"Hmm...that's certainly true..."
Hua Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, quite agreeing with Su Tianqing's words.
I had considered quitting before, and even submitted my resignation to the Hero Association.
Although she eventually regained her belief in being a magical girl with everyone's help, and even successfully suppressed the transformation of the Starry Shadow into a new power, the matter of being a magical girl cannot be forced.
"So let's not mention anything else for now. Let's just treat Sasha as a regular friend, chat with her, and occasionally go shopping and hang out together. That's how we can cultivate a good interpersonal relationship."
"If it's too difficult to achieve everything at once, let's take it one step at a time. What do you think, Karin-chan?"
Looking at the golden-haired fox girl bathed in the soft light of the shop, Hua Ling opened her mouth slightly, suddenly enlightened.
Listening to the fox's words is like reading half a book.
Sure enough, Sister Tianqing is the most reliable person!
