Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 11: It's all the same magic.

Jiang Si wasn't too surprised that her younger sister ultimately decided to go to the Disaster Management Bureau.

Although their relationship deteriorated after their parents passed away, in the past three years, he would occasionally come home to find Jiang Keke watching magical girl-related programs on TV in the living room.

Some are real-time news reports about which monsters magical girls have eliminated and how many people they have saved; others are variety shows.

Magical girls also need to make money, mainly because the Disaster Management Bureau needs funds to operate, so making money through magical girl idolization is a common practice.

Variety shows, games, TV movies, and more often invite magical girls to participate in their own performances.

Jiang Keke's biggest concern is that blue magical girl from back then, named Cui Que, who was their savior.

Although she never said it herself, Jiang Si, who had raised her for so many years, could tell that she had always felt guilty because she had inadvertently blamed Cui Que for not coming to save her parents sooner.

I often try to find out how to contact the larkspur, and I even wrote a letter to her before.

Unfortunately, it fell into oblivion.

In Jiang Keke's opinion, Cui Que must be her idol and role model.

Since Cui Que is also the captain of the magical girl team of the Disaster Management Bureau in the neighboring city, it makes sense for Jiang Keke to join the Disaster Management Bureau, and she will have the opportunity to meet her idol in the future.

It would be strange if they didn't agree; there's absolutely no reason to refuse the Disaster Management Bureau's invitation.

To avoid embarrassing himself, he got up early in the morning and changed into clothes that his father had left him, clothes that he could wear when he was in his first year of high school.

On the one hand, Jiang Si grew up relatively quickly, and on the other hand, their father was indeed not very tall.

If you fold the cuffs and pant legs slightly, they will fit very well.

He tidied his hair, looked a bit dejected, and resembled someone who had just finished a day's work and was half-dead.

He looks exactly like a working professional now.

As for appearance, temperament can mask much of it.

At least Yinlian's reaction when she looked over when he came downstairs proves that he has indeed made good adjustments.

"Your brother looks just like your dad."

Hearing the magical girl's exclamation beside her, Jiang Keke couldn't help but feel speechless. "He's dressed just like his dad."

"I just said he dressed very maturely..."

"Heh, maybe he's a thousand-year-old monster inside." Jiang Keke wasn't going to say anything nice. "He's heartless."

Jiang Keke actually wears this outfit every time she goes to a parent-teacher meeting, and she's long been used to it.

Jiang Si only had two sets of clothes: a school uniform and a suit left by her father. She rarely wore her father's suit.

But every time she wears it, she does look a lot like her father.

When she first went to the parent-teacher meeting, even her homeroom teacher thought her father was so young.

But as soon as he opens his mouth, he gives himself away, since his voice is still a bit immature.

"Have you eaten?"

Jiang Si asked calmly, and Jiang Keke, as usual, just hummed in response, unwilling to say anything more.

Yinlian then said obediently from the side, "I saved some for you. Would you like some, Senior Jiang Si? The ones in the kitchen shouldn't be cold yet."

"No need, I ate last night."

I changed into leather shoes at the door—these were also my father's; he only wore sneakers for exercise. "Get ready and go. Go early and come back early. I have to go to school this afternoon."

When Coco heard Jiang Si say she was going to school, she clearly had a funny expression on her face.

Going to school? What for? To skip class?
However, she didn't even bother to make sarcastic remarks; she simply followed behind and changed her shoes.

Even Yinlian couldn't help but sigh in the face of such a stiff and awkward atmosphere.

A magical girl with serious family problems is definitely not a good thing...

It seems that magical girls all have some family problems.

When I opened the door, the sun was shining brightly today. Although Beihai is still far from autumn, it's not so hot anymore, especially since it's early morning and there's even a chill in the air when the breeze blows.

However, if you stay in direct sunlight, it will get hot in no time.

After going outside, Yinlian hid in the shade by the roadside, enjoying the coolness. Jiang Keke followed closely behind her. Because Keke was a little taller, the shadows of the roadside buildings couldn't completely cover her face, and the sun still shone on it. So she had to raise her hand to shield her eyes from the sun from time to time.

Halfway through her walk, Yinlian noticed Jiang Keke raising her hand to shield her eyes from the sun behind her, and immediately copied her. She walked further out, deliberately letting the sunlight shine on her, and said, "It's a bit hot today..."

"Does the senior like to suffer without effort?"

"I'm really hot," Yinlian muttered, glancing back again. Jiang Si was standing at the back, not even thinking of hiding in the shade, and strode forward in the direct sunlight. "Isn't your brother hot?"

"His body temperature remained below zero."

"What kind of special ability?"

"Just a frozen corpse."

"..."

Although it was somewhat impolite, Yinlian almost burst out laughing. She touched her face to hide her inappropriate smile and asked, "Why do you hate your brother so much?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Keke tugged at her shoulder bag. "Because he's not human."

Yinlian hadn't planned to ask any further questions, since it was already a bit inappropriate for her to ask about other people's affairs out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Keke continued, "On the day of his parents' funeral, he didn't come to attend; he went to exercise instead."

Startled, Yinlian glanced at Jiang Si, who was following at the back, and frowned. "There must be some reason, right?"

"No, it's just for exercise." Jiang Keke said expressionlessly. "There's no reason. Even though his parents raised him and lived with him for more than ten years, his parents' life or death is not as important as his exercise today."

"Perhaps, I'm just using exercise to numb myself and hide my sadness and pain..."

Yinlian looked at Coco with a somewhat strange smile, "Senior is a bit out of touch with reality. In fact, when my relatives dragged him to the funeral, he was full of impatience. He felt no sadness or grief over his parents' death, let alone pain. To him, it was like the death of two dogs. You just need to ask around to find out."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Keke said so much to her at once. Yinlian was so shocked that she couldn't speak and even slowed down her steps.

"I think Senior Yinlian seems to have unrealistic fantasies about him, so I'm giving you a heads-up in advance so you won't be disappointed later. That feeling is really unpleasant."

Yinlian took a deep breath. "Thank you, Coco. I understand. But I still think there must be some misunderstanding."

"Hopefully."

Jiang Keke remained noncommittal. If it weren't for the fact that Yinlian was also a magical girl and cared about her enough, making Jiang Keke unconsciously treat her as a friend, she wouldn't actually want to talk about these family matters.

After all these years, she has never told anyone about it.

Whether Yinlian listens or not is her own business. Jiang Keke doesn't want to get involved in Jiang Si's affairs at all. If Yinlian really insists on siding with Jiang Si and wants her to reconcile with Jiang Si, then...

Jiang Keke will absolutely not join the Disaster Management Bureau, nor will she continue to have any dealings with Yinlian.

Many of my former relatives broke off their relationships in this way.

"However, I also know that if your brother is that kind of person, it is indeed hard to accept. I'm really sorry for saying before that I hoped you could get along well with your brother. I was a bit presumptuous."

“No, not really…” Jiang Keke sniffed and turned her head away. “Senior, you don’t know these things, it’s not your fault.” Yinlian then grabbed her hand and shook it. “From now on, just call me Yinlian, don’t call me senior anymore.”

"Little Silver Lotus".

"I never said we could add 'small'!"

Jiang Si frowned as she looked at the two noisy girls in front of her, wondering what they were doing.

We've been wandering aimlessly for almost twenty minutes now, with absolutely no intention of getting to the Disaster Management Bureau.

Is this guy here to amuse himself and Coco?

Although you can get the location information of the Disaster Management Bureau by sending a message to Bing Tang.

However, it's too easy to expose her. Who knows if this girl named Yinlian is actually monitoring her?

Magical girls always have some strange abilities, especially since she is a pink magical girl. She usually uses some mental magic, and with the powerful influence of the Disaster Management Bureau, if they target her, contacting Bing Tang would be easily exposed.

It's better to be cautious, so he hasn't contacted Bing Tang since last night, and has even put his phone on airplane mode until now.

But this couldn't go on forever, so Jiang Si stopped and asked, "How much longer? Should we call a car?"

Yinlian then released Coco's hand and replied with a smile, "We'll be there soon, don't rush."

The tone had lost its previous respect.

After walking for a while, the three entered a secluded street, and Jiang Si saw some familiar buildings in the distance.

Three years ago, my sister and I were sent to a sanatorium for treatment.

So the Disaster Management Bureau is located in a place like this? It's so close!
He felt a little strange. If they were so close, why hadn't Bing Tang told him about it?

Immediately, Yinlian turned again, exited the alley, and turned into another small path.

It's hard to say how far they went. Yinlian turned left and right, almost making people dizzy, until they arrived at a place that neither the brother nor sister had ever seen before.

It must have been in the suburbs. A small grove of trees blocked the view. The three of them stopped at the corner of a wall. The wall looked dilapidated, with the red bricks inside exposed. They could see many ants and insects crawling on it. The branches of an old poplar tree hung down next to it, obscuring the top of the wall.

Jiang Si felt that the direction they had come from was a bit strange. She guessed that Yin Lian might have used the power of a magical girl to distort their sense of direction, but she couldn't be sure.

"The Disaster Management Bureau is actually located in a place like this?" Jiang Keke gasped for breath, tugging at her collar. She was exhausted from all the winding roads she had traveled.

Because of Jiang Si, Coco hates exercising and also hates physical education class, so her physical fitness is not very good.

It's naturally quite tiring to travel such a long distance.

"Of course not." Yinlian then took out a key and pressed it against the wall.

Jiang Si raised an eyebrow, confirming that the other party did not consider her a suspicious person.

Because the key had the miracle seed attached to it, she made no attempt to avoid suspicion.

After the key was inserted, the entire wall rippled, and when the key was turned, the entire wall opened to both sides like a door.

Yinlian put away the key, nimbly jumped inside, and then peeked out from inside, waving to the two of them, "Come in."

Jiang Si walked ahead of Keke, and when she stepped into the gate, she found that the station was right across from her.

There are ten stations in total, and at the end of each station is a small brass bell.

They came in through the wall, between numbers nine and ten.

"Welcome to Platform 9¾."

Although the entertainment industry in this world is completely different from the original one, the development trajectory is still similar.

Jiang Si knew that Harry Potter had swept the world a year ago.

In his previous life, he was a fan of online novels and had no interest in stories set in low-magic worlds. He even scoffed at the magic used by the characters in these stories.

What's so interesting about a few kids saving the world? There's no detailed progression path or power division, it's far inferior to online novels. I don't know how it became popular, I can only say that big capital played a big role.

I never expected that the Disaster Management Bureau, a prestigious organization, would have to imitate this at the platform.

They've become so childish.

Jiang Keke cautiously walked in, peeked around for a while, and upon hearing the name of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, immediately complained, "Is there no copyright issue?"

"It's okay. They're also cooperating with the Disaster Management Bureau, and the actors they've cast are all magical girls from our area."

An Asian actor playing Harry Potter? Jiang Si found it hard to believe.

“The previous platform was too old-fashioned and scared a lot of newcomers. It was like a horror movie set. Later, the higher-ups said that we had to keep up with the times and at least make it look like something that children would like. That’s why we have Platform 9¾. Other disaster management bureaus are following suit.”

"Is it effective?"

"...You are the first newcomer to arrive after the platform renovation."

Yinlian scratched her head awkwardly, then said angrily, "It's all the Qingyun Sect's fault! That's why the Disaster Management Bureau can't find any magical girls anymore."

Ah yes, yes, they're all made from rock sugar.

Jiang Sixin sneered. If your Disaster Management Bureau hadn't had such a big loophole in its recruitment process, there wouldn't be any problem with Bing Tang.

Jiang Keke didn't join Yinlian in criticizing the Qingyun Sect. Instead, she looked curiously into the distance and asked, "So it's a train too?"

"of course not."

Yinlian walked to the bell and gently tapped it with her finger.

The melodious sound of bells echoed far into the distance. What Jiang Si found even stranger than the length of the sound was that it seemed to come from the mountains.

Soon, two brooms dragged a small section of the carriage over.

It was moving very fast, and when it stopped at the platform, it even sparked.

"Each carriage can only seat two people."

Yinlian explained, "Originally, there were only brooms, but later, to fit the platform, we added a section of carriage to pull it up, so the newlyweds won't be afraid to ride in it."

As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Keke and got into the carriage first.

This small section of the carriage is indeed only big enough for two people.

"Jiang Si, wait a moment, I'll come back for you..."

As Yinlian was speaking, and the broom lifted the carriage upwards, she saw Jiang Si below slightly bending down.

Then, like a spring, it suddenly sprang up!

At a height of nearly six meters, he grabbed the broom handle that had taken off.

"This is the one."

Yinlian stared in disbelief at Jiang Si, who was gripping the broom handle so tightly that even as the broom flew at high speed, it showed no sign of falling.

He put away the Miracle Seed, his mouth a little dry, and turned to look at Coco. "Who exactly is your brother?"

Jiang Keke snorted, seemingly unsurprised, "Didn't I say I'm not human?"
