Pray and become a magical girl

Chapter 2: Aries' Lucky Day

There was a knock on the wooden door of the lounge.

"Come in." Cheng Yiran said weakly.

You Xiao pushed the door open and saw that she didn't look like a top idol at all. He held his forehead helplessly and said, "Yi Ran, I've told you so many times that you must maintain your idol image at all times."

Cheng Yihan did not change his posture. Instead, he said leisurely because he had found a comfortable position, "What does it matter? There is no one else here anyway."

"It's not okay to be so careless. There are paparazzi with super powers nowadays. I don't know what those people are thinking. Instead of using their super powers to do serious things, they use them to take secret photos." You Xiao's expression was a little melancholy.

The idol that other people are responsible for is as well-behaved and obedient as a little white rabbit, but the one I am responsible for is like a little wild cat.

"Don't we still have you, Sister You? You used to be a B-class hero. Which paparazzi can escape your ears?" Cheng Yiran said easily, not worried at all about such a thing happening.

That’s right, You Xiao was once a hero, but after the tunnel crisis eased, he chose to retire and pursue what he wanted to do.

In fact, the "retired guys" mentioned before are also in this situation. Heroes are not heroes from the beginning. Before the advent of the super-power era, they were just one of thousands of ordinary people.

Can you imagine that Liang Yi Tai Chi, ranked seventh in S-class, is just a kind old man who likes to practice Tai Chi and watch his grandson play in the park?

Speaking of this, we have to mention the reason why Cheng Yiran is so confident.

The hero levels are divided into five levels from top to bottom: S level, A level, B level, C level and D level.

The thirteen S-class heroes and the eighty-one A-class heroes are the heroes standing at the top of the world, while the B-class heroes are the top that ordinary people can see.

Therefore, even though there are nearly 10,000 B-level heroes and there will be no specific ranking, no one will be so lowly as to provoke them upon hearing the name of a B-level hero.

"That's true..." You Xiao wanted to say something, but he shook his head first, "Oh, forget it. It's my responsibility as your agent to protect you. By the way, Yi Ran, today's performance was a complete success. Let's celebrate it..."

Before he could continue his conversation, You Xiao suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him had been alone since her debut.

Cheng Yiran just treated being an idol as a job to make money and never thought about increasing her own popularity.

As far as You Xiao knows, the goal of these young girls who debut as idols is to become stars on the stage and then step by step move onto a higher stage.

As far as Cheng Yiran's performance is concerned, it seems to be the case, but she is a legend in the idol world. She became a top star as soon as she debuted, and it was her singing that healed the hearts of people persecuted by disasters.

However, after becoming a top idol in China, he has not moved on to a higher stage, and has not taken on any overseas performances so far, which is indeed a bit strange.

"Sister You, what's wrong?" Cheng Yiran tilted her head in confusion, waiting for You Xiao's follow-up.

"Nothing, today's work is over, you can treat yourself."

"Oh Yeah!" Cheng Yiran jumped up happily and started packing his things.

Watching the girl crumple up her belongings into a ball and stuff them into a bag that looked like a woven pocket, You Xiao's expression became strange again.

Although I understand that this is the first gift from a fan and it has special commemorative significance, it feels a bit cheap to carry it on my body, like a country girl.

Moreover, Cheng Yiran’s fashion sense is really not good. A pair of jeans, a white shirt, and a pair of canvas shoes are her daily attire today. The word "idol" has nothing to do with her at all.
-
Sister, you should at least have some awareness of being a top idol!
You Xiao held his forehead helplessly and asked the last question, "Yi Ran, have you ever thought about forming a group? The company has this plan recently and wants you to lead a few new people."

Cheng Yiran paused and immediately refused, "Sister You, please don't do that! You know I'm a socially anxious person, and I'm twenty years old now, I definitely can't keep up with those little girls!"

Cheng Yiran blinked her eyes like a cat begging for food. Look, she only looked cute at this time. When she achieved her goal, she would become the cheerful little wild cat.

"I knew you would say that, so I turned it down for you."

"Wuhu! Thank you, Sister You!"

He changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, leaving You Xiao speechless.

And the reasons she just gave were all made up. Can someone with social phobia be an idol? I'm afraid he is a social phobic!

As for age, that is true, but Cheng Yiran still looks like a sixteen-year-old girl in terms of skin care and body management.

If she changes her dressing style, she will definitely be a campus goddess in high school.

Well~ It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t change. At most it will turn out like this—

Passerby: Cheng Yiran? I know, she's just a rustic goddess.

Cheng Yiran carried his bag, put on sunglasses and a mask, and said goodbye to You Xiao, "I'm leaving first~"

Thinking too deeply, the girl had already left, and You Xiao only then remembered what she wanted to remind him -

Recently, a super-powered criminal appeared in this area, who specifically targeted young and beautiful girls.

When You Xiao chased after her, Cheng Yiran had already disappeared. Cheng Yiran was on her way back, not because she didn't have money to take a taxi, but because she just wanted to see the world that had returned to peace.

One year has passed in the three-year super-power era. The society, which was almost completely destroyed, has returned to its previous state, with tall buildings standing everywhere and a constant stream of people passing by.

The Super Power Era, this name sounds nice. Scholars believe that it is a period when humans embrace abilities and move towards a more advanced civilization.

But how many people remember the hardships of fighting against alien beasts?

How many people have seen the scene of blood flowing like a river and corpses strewn all over the ground?
Probably only the old guys who are still alive.

"Alas~ Why do I feel so sad? It seems that I am really old. I might as well quit my job as a hero tomorrow." Cheng Yiran was thinking and really had plans in that regard.

Just around the corner you'll be home.

The surroundings were dead silent, and the street lights flickered as if they had been on for a long time.

However, Cheng Yiran lives in a community in the city center. Even though the current population is far less than before the Super Power Era, this area is not so deserted in the evening.

But Cheng Guo was still not afraid, she was just a little worried, "I have been living a comfortable life for too long, and my nerves have relaxed. I don't know when I got infected."

Cheng was still waiting there. Well, hunters often appear as prey.

A dark shadow flashed before his eyes and quickly stretched out a sickly and confessional hand towards Cheng Yiran.

The girl just glanced at him lightly and turned sideways to avoid the sneak attack.

The shadow sank into the darkness, and Cheng Yiran murmured softly to himself, "Shadow has supernatural powers? In that case - the stars shine."

In an instant, Cheng Yiran's body was filled with light, and brighter stars were floating, then arranged in an orderly manner to form a pattern.

A slender hand stretched out, the light curtain shattered, and the girl's long black hair turned into cute orange-red short hair, and her clothes also changed into a cute puffy skirt with a gradient of white and red.

Oh, yes, my height also shrank from 1.65 meters to 1.5 meters.

Cheng Yiran raised her hand slightly, and the constellation Aries appeared on her right hand, "Aries? That's enough."

The black shadow was very patient and courageous. Cheng still displayed his special ability. He was still sure that the girl had no way to deal with him in stealth mode.

Cheng Yiran seemed distressed as well, the flaming spear in his hand condensed, "Hey~ It's hidden so deep, I can only guess. Then--I guess it's here."

"Whoosh-"

It is hard to imagine that a spear thrown by such a delicate body would make a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The attack passed by the black shadow's body. Although he managed to avoid it, he was really scared. He actually felt the threat of death from the attack just now.

With his chest heaving violently and cold sweat dripping down his forehead, the shadow loudly asked Cheng Yiran, "How could you possibly know where I am!"

Cheng Yiran put her finger on her lips and said cutely, "I don't know either. Maybe today is Aries' lucky day."

The shadow stared with his eyes wide open, shouting in disbelief, "Lucky? How could the power given to me by the High Priest be lost to such a ridiculous thing!"

Cheng Yiran suddenly felt bored, and sighed, "Oh, it's boring. I tricked you into using your ultimate with just a basic attack. You're easier to fool than Brother Boyi. But, brother, you're really brave. You dared to launch a sneak attack on an S-level hero."

This sentence will make Black Shadow laugh, "S-class hero, you? Don't think that just because luck helped you once, it will help you a second time. You will only be my new collection!"

The black shadow slid into the shadows again, but Cheng Yiran stood there as if waiting for something.

"Why don't you believe it? Well, I haven't been fighting super-powered criminals for a long time."

The black figure jumped out from the shadows again and attacked once more, but Cheng Yiran dodged it with a casual step.

The black shadow became increasingly furious and began to attack more frequently.

However, Cheng Yiran was as relaxed as her name, "Let me think about how to say those lines.
"——Got it. Hero Sequence 1557, S-rank third, Xinggong. You are now being arrested according to the law."

The black shadow used all his strength and his speed was faster than before. He stretched out his pale palm, as if as long as this hand could touch Cheng Yiran, he would win.

Cheng Yiran jumped up lightly, facing the sky. There was darkness above him, which should also be the product of the shadow's ability.

Although Cheng Yi still didn't see the moon, she still said, "The moon is so beautiful tonight, isn't it? And then, good night~"

The delicate fist hit the black shadow, who fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and fainting immediately.

Cheng Yiran covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh my, one punch sent her into shock. Today is really a lucky day for Aries."
