Chapter 634 Your junior is mine now
"...that is to say..."
"After you went inside, you encountered some terrifying ghosts and supernatural events, and you were quite frightened, so you applied to the Hero Association for the demolition of the unfinished building by explosives?"
The white ferret elf sat curled up on a cardboard box, arms crossed in front of her, looking at the row of girls sitting in front of her.
Hyacinth nodded and said:
"Well, in the end, the Hero Association cleared out the surrounding area, and Iris used her magic cannon to demolish the entire unfinished building. We managed to resolve the whole matter smoothly..."
"Smoothly my foot! Where's the smoothness??"
Bai Ling couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped three feet high off the cardboard box, flew to Hyacinth, and flicked her forehead with all her might.
"Weren't you supposed to go in to investigate? What kind of success is it if you end up demolishing the building?!"
"Besides, what supernatural events are there in this world? Aren't they all illusions created by magic? How could you magical girls be fooled by such illusions?!"
"Even if Bai Ling says those are illusions..." Hyacinth covered her forehead, pouting as she muttered softly, "Those illusions are scary... If you went, Bai Ling, you'd be frightened too..."
"Idiot! Idiot!"
Bai Ling was so angry that she shook her head and flew behind Hyacinth, giving her a good beating with her mink fists.
That concludes today's matters for now.
The fox spirit Yue Tianxin comforted Bai Ling with a wry smile. After giving the hyacinth a good beating, the latter calmed down, and the group was able to gather together to discuss and analyze what had just happened.
As the vanguard at the forefront, the task of recounting the events was still left to Hyacinth, who indeed honestly recounted everything that happened in the unfinished building... But when talking about the terrifying blood-red illusion in the room, Bai Ling immediately raised her hand to signal to stop there.
"Wait a minute, so you mean you experienced terrifying auditory and visual hallucinations in that unfinished building, and even saw a blood-red, terrifying phantom?"
"It was terrifying! Bai Ling, you have no idea, the three of us peeked out and were scared out of our wits, screaming like mad!"
Hyacinth began her onomatopoeic description, and Bai Ling quickly grasped what she was trying to say, stroking her chin in thought for a while.
Then he said softly:
"I have a feeling... you might have run into someone you know..."
"An acquaintance? How could it be an acquaintance? What acquaintance could create so many illusions silently in that dark, unfinished building?" Hyacinth immediately retorted.
Even Shingetsuko, whose magical abilities are on par with Inari-senpai, has to emit magical fluctuations. It's impossible for anyone to set up a scene silently in such a gloomy situation.
"Besides, the first person among us to hear the whisper was Tian Nanxing, and she didn't even realize that someone was using magic to transmit a voice to her."
"Woof woof, yes, woof! It felt like someone was talking right next to my ear, it scared me to death!" The dog girl gestured with her hands, her brows furrowed, as if she was still shaken by the terrifying scene.
Bai Ling tilted her head and floated in the air for a while before turning back to Yue Tianxin's side. The two stargazing elves huddled together and discussed for a few words before revealing unwavering expressions and flying back to the hyacinth.
"I see!"
"You just encountered a dark area formed by the residual magic of Garuda, but there were actually no terrifying illusions inside. It was all orchestrated by someone behind the scenes!"
"Who could be behind this? Could it be Xin Yuehu?" Hyacinth was still the first to express her suspicion about Xin Yuehu.
This almost made Yue Tianxin, who had just switched to manual transmission, lose control of her expression. She silently handed over her expression back to automatic, thinking to herself, "Can't you have some normal logic?" But Bai Ling beat her to it and said:
"Don't pin everything on Xin Yuehu. Although she does like to cause trouble in the city, it's unlikely that she did what happened to you this time... or rather, she's probably not a direct participant."
"Based on my reliable analysis, what you've encountered this time is most likely—a Cheshire Rabbit!"
"Luckily, Cheshire Rabbit has the Crimson Star Shadow, and she also possesses powerful invisibility magic. You've very likely been trapped in that unfinished building by her!"
A long silence followed.
The girls looked at each other for a long time, blinked, and seemed to suddenly understand something, as if they had suddenly realized something.
"If Cheshire Rabbit did it, then everything that just happened seems to make sense!" Hyacinth said. "Heartmoon Fox deliberately lured us to the unfinished building, and then had Cheshire Rabbit lie in ambush beforehand, taking the opportunity to watch our reactions when we were scared!"
"That vixen is so wicked! I'll definitely find a way to beat her up next time we meet!"
Listening to the hyacinth's indignant but seemingly unfocused lament, even the iris and arum were speechless, and could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.
The topic of ghost stories about unfinished buildings came to an end. After clarifying the truth of the matter, the girls tacitly refrained from mentioning what had just happened and shifted the conversation to another matter—the team duties of [Shuoye].
"Shuoye is a magical girl that you developed, Bailing, but she can only use flight magic at the moment. She doesn't know any other attack or defense magic. We don't even know if she is better at melee combat or magic."
Hyacinth shrugged, completely helpless.
This was beyond her understanding of the current state of magical girls, and judging from Bai Ling's expression, it seemed to be quite troublesome for her as well. After all, every magical girl has her own area of expertise when she is born, and it is easy to tell what role they can play in the team in the future.
Sakuya was the only exception... It seemed that she was only good at flying magic and nothing else, so she was not very comfortable doing anything.
"Yes, I also think that Shuoye's situation is really too special. I don't know where to arrange for her to go," Bai Ling said with distress.
The Stargazer's duty is to provide assistance to the magical girls to the best of their ability, which naturally includes analyzing the abilities and strengths of the team members. Although in theory the tactical arrangements are decided by the team leader, in practice almost all teams will choose to listen to the advice of the Stargazer elf.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work," Nightingale said. "Since we don't know what Shuoye is good at, why don't we test it out in actual combat?"
"For example, we can take her to fight some weaker monsters, or send her to a nearby mountain town to support Miss Qiu Gui and her team's operations. This way, we can free up our hands to prevent her from getting hurt."
"That's a great idea, I think it's excellent." Hyacinth nodded in approval.
As expected of Nightingale, she is always a reliable member of the team as the one with the best brains.
Just as they were about to add this plan to their memos as part of tomorrow's activities, Tian Nanxing raised the Divine Stone in his hand and waved it at his companions.
"Don't rush, woof. Look at this woof."
Hyacinth turned her head and almost wanted to grab the Bernese Mountain Dog and rub its head hard.
Before she could speak, Nightingale glanced back at the content displayed on the magic screen and exclaimed "Eh!" at the opportune moment, then quickly turned around and stared at the screen.
Hyacinth was also puzzled by Nightingale's actions, so she came closer to see what was attracting their attention.
The content on the screen left Hyacinth speechless:
It was a video website account update, the ID was the familiar Magical Girl Fox official, and the content was very simple—a photo and a few lines of text, like a sharing of daily life and activities, but there were two figures that shouldn't have been in the photo:
Meng Donghua is receiving martial arts training from Hellcat, while Shuo Ye sits in front of the whiteboard listening to Alice and Little Jack explain the basics of magic.
The half of Xin Yuehu's face, which is grinning, occupies most of the photo, suggesting that the main purpose of this post is to act cute for the camera.
Good evening everyone!
Tonight is magical girl training time, and everyone is studying super hard!
Hyacinth took a deep breath, tilted its head back, and shouted loudly towards the night sky:
"Shuoye and Mengdonghua have been kidnapped by that stinky fox! Aaaaaaaah!!!"
