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

Chapter 121 The Forbidden Zone of Life and Ten Things About a Magical Girl's Life (7,000 words)

A seaside resort on the border between South China and East China.

The twins looked up and saw the magnificent view of the rising sun spreading across the sea, which greatly soothed their weary minds.

Walking barefoot on the beach, the feeling of sand squeezing out from between their toes was incredibly comfortable for the twins.

Every now and then, the sea waves would lap against my skin, like a tickle, and I would gaze into the distance with the salty, damp sea breeze in my eyes.

In the vast ocean, the phantom image of the heart's remains grew clearer and clearer, like a magnificent colorful curtain.

Fortunately, the heart-shaped wreckage was located at sea; otherwise, the evacuation of people alone would have been a major problem.

After so many days of diffusion, the mental image remnants have transformed from a vague mirage into an increasingly clear landscape.

That which was eroding the outline of the world has now become incredibly conspicuous.

It won't be long before it becomes a reality and is actually settling down.

At that time, not only the fishermen living by the sea, but also the towns that are even a little closer to the coast will likely suffer.

So ever since the phantom appeared, magical girls from the Disaster Management Bureau have been stationed here.

Recently, as the number of people in the Disaster Management Bureau has gradually increased along with the remnants of the mental image, she has even seen acquaintances.

Even Iris, who is only slightly inferior to the Twins, has come. It seems that the Disaster Management Bureau really takes this very seriously.

Unfortunately, what the country bumpkins at the General Administration didn't know was that this place had long been the hunting grounds of the Qingyun Sect.

Qingluan came along with Iris, but can she really be considered an elite blooming magical girl? The Twins had a slight doubt about it…

Quite a few people from the Witch's Guild did come. Although the Witch's Guild said that challenging the Qingyun Sect would give a spot as a reward, in reality only one spot was given. The whole event was somewhat of a test of the Qingyun Sect.

After all, most of the people who could actually get a spot have already come here, so the remaining spot is dispensable and is perfect for testing the Qingyun Sect.

Although the remaining members of the Witch's Guild who were killed never went, the spot was instead taken by Si Motu, the so-called head of the East China region...

Currently, Si Mo Tu is not seen in the Witches' Guild, but there are many powerful Complete Witches. However, in the eyes of the Twin Lords, they are all just traitors.

Twins were the only true five-star challengers to obtain a spot to enter the Heart Remnant. Could any other witch do that?

The problem is that her job is rather unusual.

The twins looked towards the sea, where faint silhouettes of people in blue work clothes could be seen emerging from the water.

The prince of the Mirror Kingdom.

This was her job: to take the prince of the Mirror Kingdom to the Heart Remnant.

When the vice president asked her to entertain this so-called prince of the Mirror Kingdom, she thought the vice president was messing with her.

What prince from the Kingdom of Mirrors? Are you sure you're not just trying to fool her with something from a fairy tale?

Surprisingly, it really exists. She could clearly see the figure on the water's surface; it wasn't a phantom.

Although the twins are not as good at controlling magic as the true disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

However, she is quite capable in detecting magical energy within the Qingyun Sect; Lord Bing Tang has specifically praised her for it.

The prince of the Mirror Kingdom before us is not some illusory phantom, but a real being that exists behind the mirror.

Could they suddenly attack the twins in the middle of the night? It's really hard to guard against something reflected in the mirror...

"Don't worry, you timid girl. I have no interest in someone as ordinary as you. Someone like you is not worthy to set foot on the land of my Mirror Kingdom."

As if sensing her thoughts, the prince said this.

"Huh?" Twins kicked out, their toes kicking up sand as they slammed it into the water. "Do you know who Twins are? I'm the only complete witch to have completed the five-star challenge, currently the strongest fighter in the East China Witch Association, and a highly respected Star of the Witch Association..."

"There's no room for all these people in the mirror," the prince said casually, landing on a glass window of a shop next to the beach. "They're like lab rats."

Its destructive power is no less than that of a monkey hearing the name of the stable boy.

The twins grabbed a plastic chair and were about to run and smash the mirror when the captain and Chi Lian on the beach quickly pulled the enraged witch back. "Calm down! Calm down! This is a partner of the Witch Association, and the vice president has given you an important task!"

The aggrieved twins took two deep breaths, but ultimately prioritized the greater good and put down their stools.

Even the sect leader has never scolded me like that!
However, the Qingyun Sect has almost no information about the Mirror Kingdom. For the sake of Lord Bing Tang, the twins must endure this humiliation and obtain all the information about the Mirror Kingdom...

If she can't lie on Lord Bing Tang's lap afterwards, and have Lord Bing Tang coax her to sleep, feed her, pat her head, and praise her, the twins will definitely sit on the ground and cry loudly!

She'll definitely burst into tears and show it to Lord Bing Tang!

“A clueless monkey.” The prince looked at the captain of the Gu worms and vines, his tone sharp and sarcastic. “No wonder he can hang out with beasts. But as a piece of trash without the blood of the Mirror Kingdom, he’s not bad at all.”

The captain and Chi Lian, who had been blocking the twins, both turned grim and simultaneously released their grip.

As a result, the twins stopped joking around, sat down on the stool, put on their giggling expressions again, and put on sunglasses. "Oh, thank you so much for the prince's praise. The twins are so touched."

"I really don't know what Jialan is thinking, letting you trash lead the way for the noble prince of the Mirror Kingdom. Her head must be messed up, she's probably out of her mind. Oh well, after all, she's been away from the Mirror Kingdom for too long, she must have been corrupted by you lowly creatures. Forgive her for her mistakes, what are you all standing there for? Trash, quickly take me to the location of the Heart Image Remains, it's your honor."

The twins absolutely must kill him, absolutely!
I swear on the lives of the Vice President and Xilan!

Having mentally kicked that sullen face countless times, the twins snorted, "For the Witch Association..."

Unexpectedly, the usually composed captain patted the twins on the shoulder and said seriously, "Even I, who have the utmost loyalty to the Witch Association, have my own principles. Twins, before we let the Witch Association win, we must first ensure the victory of our own personal dignity."

"Captain, the twins don't understand."

"Find a way to kill him, Twins!"

Now I understand.

"Let him know who the real villain is! This little brat has never seen the underworld before!"

Huh? So you're admitting you're the villain? You wouldn't admit it before no matter what I said.

Seeing the two angry people, the twins' anger subsided considerably.

Seeing others unhappy really does make me happy...

The prince on the other end frowned, about to urge the other to stop dawdling, when the recorder on his right wrist made a sound.

He opened it and took a look.

[Battle report on contact with Ziyuan of the Qingyun Sect.]

[A compilation of battle information regarding the splash and a comparison of all magical girl abilities...]

There is no similar ability.

He went through the details of the battle with the water splash and the intelligence speculation in detail, then took a deep breath.

Then he looked at the twins who were still fighting with those trash, "Congratulations, you good-for-nothings! You have inherited the power of the entire Mirror King and are now the kings of the Mirror World who transcend time and space and know the past and the future. This is the moment when you are allowed to provide some information to the great Mirror Kingdom. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. I hope you can seize it."

Twins: "What information?"

Captain: "Ignore him."

Chi Lian: "He's so anxious!"

The flamingo, who had just woken up, asked, "What happened?"

The prince slightly raised his chin. "One of our combat personnel, Shuihua, has made contact with the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect."

The previously chattering group immediately fell silent.

Although the prince found the group of noisy fellows' reactions somewhat strange, he didn't take it to heart.

He continued, "The magical girl codenamed Shion killed our combatant, Mizuki. Although we have obtained enough information about her, in order to earn you merit, I am willing to give you some opportunities to provide us with more information about Shion... What are you doing?"

The twins quickly moved a table and placed it in front of the chairs. The captain and a few others dragged a bunch of snacks onto the table, and then the girl plopped down on the white plastic chair.

The three children and one adult looked serious: "It's nothing. As long as it involves the Qingyun Sect Master Ziyuan, we, the [Ziyuan Victims Association], will be on high alert!"

"Then why are you laughing?"

The twins coughed slightly. "I'm naturally cheerful. Girls who love to laugh are lucky, so lucky!"

The hamster over there tore open a bag of potato chips and started munching away, while the red-bellied hamster lay on top of the red-bellied hamster, nibbling on her fur and making crunching sounds.

Only the captain's expression was somber. "Can you tell me how much intelligence you've obtained? We, the [Violet Victims Association], need to verify the information."

"no problem."

The prince continued, "First, there's her first spell, a spell that breaks through other people's abilities. When Shuihua faced her, she used the reflection technology, the core technology of the Mirror Kingdom. Although it was still effective, she not only reflected the reflection but also broke through the reflection barrier at the end. Clearly, this spell is specifically designed to counter all kinds of abilities..."

"Haha..." Just as Chi Lian burst out laughing, she was casually slapped away by the twins. The twins, covering their mouths, frowned deeply, revealing serious and profound expressions:

"That's right, that's absolutely right. Thinking back, she has magic that can break through other people's abilities. Back then, Chi Lian's rewind and the captain's regeneration were almost both broken through in this way. We didn't even realize it at the time, and thought something had happened. We never expected that Shion used such despicable magic!"

After speaking, the twins looked at the captain and asked, "Don't you think so, Captain?"

The captain on the other end stammered a few times, nodded, but couldn't say a word.

The prince snorted coldly and continued, "Another problem is that after Shuihua reflected a fatal wound during the battle, she couldn't inflict a fatal wound on her, only leaving a shallow mark. Based on the battle footage and intelligence, we speculate that she might possess some kind of magic that weakens the abilities of others..."

"puff……"

Several people looked at the captain, who suppressed a smile and said calmly, "Sorry, I farted."

Before the prince could even ask how the vine farted...

The twins adopted a thoughtful expression and said, "That makes sense. No wonder our abilities were ineffective against her."

"Regarding the magical girl Shion's powerful tracking ability and her magic that can penetrate folded spaces and the defenses of the mirror world..."

Chi Lian immediately jumped out, "You've come to the right person! The Disaster Management Bureau in Jiangming City uses Mirror Space technology! Not only can she force her way through, but once her magic grabs you, forget about folding space, even folding time won't help! It's definitely her trump card magic!"

The captain and the twins nodded together.

"Any more detailed information?"

The three of them shook their heads together.

The prince raised his head arrogantly: "Useless, this is all information we already know."

"Oh right, right, the twins are such a waste." The twins yawned, leaned back in their plastic chairs, and picked at their toes, cleaning the sand out of between their fingers. "However, we do know some of Violet's weaknesses."

"Weaknesses?" The prince smiled dismissively. "Have you ever won? Now tell me your weaknesses."

The twins were stunned.

Yeah, they've never won, so how can their weaknesses be believable?

"Why haven't we ever won?"

Just as the twins were feeling dejected, a resolute voice rang out, startling them and causing them to turn around.

It's him, Captain!
He's still winning!

"We, the Violet Victims Association, have won more than just once, twins!"

"Twins are here!" Twins immediately put their feet down and sat up straight.

"How many times have we fought Shion?" "It's hard to say." The girl shrugged. "As far as I can remember, we've been fighting ever since I came to support the North Sea Witch."

The captain grinned crookedly:
"It's five years."

“From the time we settled in East China until we were finally defeated by Ziyuan, we were winning for five years, or even three years. We just lost the last time.”

The prince was indeed intrigued. "Oh? Tell me, how did you monkeys manage to defeat the people who stole the technology from my Mirror Kingdom?"

The captain took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "From the time we arrived in Beihai until we died in the battle with Ziyuan, we were never completely defeated. In these battles where we had both won and lost, I naturally gradually discovered some of her weaknesses."

"What weakness?"

"She's ticklish."

For a moment, the only sound on the beach was the crashing of the waves; it was eerily silent.

The twins carefully crouched down beside the table, leaned close to their captain, and whispered, "Really, Captain?"

“When I was burrowing the vines into his body, he couldn’t help but tug at the vines, that’s for sure.”

"..."

The prince scoffed, "What kind of weakness is being ticklish?"

"Oh, you don't know this. In a battle, just a slight difference can tip the scales of victory. Think about it, when both sides are deadlocked, you suddenly tickle her, causing her movements to distort and reveal an opening. Wouldn't that be a quick and decisive victory?"

The captain waved his hand, "So, when fighting Shion, as long as we can get close, the advantage is in my hands!"

"I see," the prince said thoughtfully. "That makes some sense."

The twins looked at their captain with utmost respect, who showed no sign of guilt and even intended to continue attacking!
"Besides that, whether it's us or what you call Splash, there's only one reason why we lost to Violet," the captain said solemnly. "That is, courage!"

"courage?"

“We don’t have the courage,” the captain looked up at the sky, stretching a vine toward the sun as if in regret, “We don’t have the courage to choose to confront her head-on!”

The prince frowned. "What do you mean?"

"She's just a magical girl in full bloom. How powerful can her magic be? It was because we were intimidated and fooled by her that we didn't want to fight her head-on. In the end, we were crushed and defeated by her strong fighting spirit."

"If we had been braver and gathered everyone's strength to confront her head-on, she might not have been able to kill us all before her magic ran out, and the outcome might have been different."

That would make you die even faster.

The twins nodded repeatedly, while the rat-rat, in order to fit in, also nodded blankly.

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail!" the captain declared forcefully. "Don't be cowardly, don't be afraid, and don't bother with those fancy tricks—they're useless! We must dare to draw our swords! Let's use overwhelming strength and unwavering will to confront her head-on! Close the distance, seize her weaknesses, and kill her from the front!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The twins immediately took the lead in applauding.

The prince looked at the captain and the twins, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "That's the same thought I had."

After saying that, he contacted the technical staff of the Mirror Kingdom, "Immediately design a system to use Alice against Shion. Its special feature is that it is good at close combat. Shion has special abilities, so we must force her into close combat! Remember, her weakness is that she is ticklish. As long as we can use this weakness to harass her in close combat, victory will surely belong to the Mirror Kingdom!"

The twins and the captain clapped hands in perfect unison and passed each other by.

Put on sunglasses and pop champagne like crazy!

You bastard, if the Purple Luck doesn't kill you, my twins will take your surname tomorrow!
The prince paid no attention to the monkeys celebrating there.

He looked up at the wreckage of the heart-shaped image on the sea.

The sound of the ocean waves stirred the prince's heart.

Everything in the Land of Mirrors is right before my eyes!
If we can get the key back, the Mirror Kingdom can break free from the blockade and return to this world!

Qingyun Sect? Ziyuan?

He sneered.

It's just a special kind of magic; the Mirror Kingdom has plenty of ways to counter it.

Whether you confront her head-on or try to disrupt or counter her magic, the result will be the same.

Such a powerful being must have stolen the technology of their Mirror Kingdom.

Since it's technology from my Mirror Country, how could it possibly defeat my Mirror Country!
What's more, they also know all her weaknesses!
On the other hand, when the twins went to the store to pay after opening the champagne, they were dumbfounded.

"Eight thousand a bottle! Do you think your customers are aliens?"

"Guest, this is the price for the scenic area."

"They're even more wicked than our Witch Society... When did this tourist area become a lawless zone? Why weren't I notified?" The twins stared longingly at the dozen or so bottles of champagne they'd opened, then chuckled sheepishly as they looked in the mirror. "Your Highness, your humble guide, Xiao Shuang, has encountered a funding problem..."

"As expected of a piece of trash, humph, swipe my card."

You know what, the title "prince" was originally quite plain and even a bit rustic, but once he started spending lavishly, it suddenly seemed so handsome, dashing, and fitting.

If the twins hadn't already fallen for Bing Tang and the Sect Master, and if it weren't for the fact that there are no three suns in the sky, they might have actually been moved by him.

If you get killed by this, Twins will definitely collect your body and celebrate your seventh day after death!

……

"Senior Peony, is it really okay for us to have a vacation here?"

On the beach, at the resort.

Under a large parasol, Peony, dressed in a vacation outfit, was comfortably reclining on a chair. Beside her was a glass of orange-yellow cold drink with a slice of lemon on it. Sunglasses hung on her forehead, and her eyes were slightly squinted. Peony could be described as extremely relaxed and carefree.

However, the red-haired girl sitting on the other side, dressed in a casual short-sleeved shirt, was clearly not so at ease. After asking one question, she asked again, "Didn't we say that we were supposed to cooperate with the Bureau of Magical Girls this time? Is it really okay to not do anything?"

"Peace of mind and peace of mind."

Peony waved her hand, then picked up her drink, took a sip, and let out a satisfied sigh. "You're still too young, An Shiyu. There are two things you need to know about working at the Disaster Management Bureau."

"First of all, magical girls are free. Even if you don't do your job at the Disaster Management Bureau, no one can deduct your salary. Especially since our North Sea is short of magical girls, there's even less to worry about."

"Secondly, the truly urgent and important work won't be assigned to us half-baked or newbies. The work assigned to us will inevitably be insignificant, so we should procrastinate as much as possible, giving them the impression that we're not useful. In the future, when there's any important work, they'll naturally exclude us. This way, we can both collect our salary and they can find capable magical girls, without delaying things. It's a win-win situation for both sides."

Since Iris left, Peony has been working overtime continuously. This time, she finally got a job that was like having paid leave again, and brought An Shiyu to support the work of the headquarters.

Hehe, Peony isn't a magical girl who's good at fighting, and An Shiyu has only just entered the Disaster Management Bureau; she's just a budding magical girl.

They can't help in the fight either.

They were just helping to maintain order; this wasn't a pure vacation.

The resort where they were staying was quite far from the location of the heart image remnant. Although it was visible, it was basically in a safe zone, so the resort was still open, and some residents and tourists were not forcibly dispersed.

However, the General Administration had already publicized the dangers of cardiac remnants, so there are generally very few people left.

And no one will bother me, it's even better than the last paid leave!

The only problem was the anxious, constantly chattering little girl, An Shiyu, standing nearby...

Thinking of this, Mudan felt that she should teach the newcomer next to her a lesson and let her know what bullying by the Beihai Disaster Prevention Bureau was.

"An Shiyu, do you know what the greatest pain in the life of a magical girl is?"

The girl tilted her head: "Uh... lost your transformation?"

"Wrong, you still have the transformation ability, but you're no longer a girl!"

An Shiyu blinked, seemingly not understanding, but Mudan sighed: "A 21-year-old magical girl can no longer be called a 'girl'. Do you know what those brats from the Qingyun Sect call me?"

"Magic Granny! Magic Auntie!" Peony gritted her teeth.

An Shiyu immediately comforted her, "21 years old is still very young, Senior Peony, you should have confidence."

"A senior member of the Disaster Management Bureau once said that 21 years old is already middle age for a magical girl. That senior member said that a magical girl must accomplish ten things before reaching middle age—"

Looking up at the helicopter, the girl whispered, "Do I have to say it now?"

Peony raised her fingers and said one by one, "First, have a love affair that is unforgettable."

"Secondly, he has ten suitors."

"Third, he was given a deposit of 30 million."

"Fourth, become one of the top ten in the monster extermination points ranking."

Fifth, turn around once.

"Sixth, he beat up the incubators."

"Seventh, having a complete family."

"Eighth, participated in the South China Magical Girl Grand Prix [Eternal Magic]."

"Ninth, to defeat the powerful enemy in the universe together with all the seniors."

"Tenth, the salary thief of the Disaster Management Bureau."

"If a magical girl doesn't enjoy her youth and achieve these accomplishments in her 'magical girl life,' her life as a magical girl in middle age will be a failure. Don't look at me like this now; I'm making up for those experiences. The Disaster Management Bureau ruined me day and night. A regret from my childhood as a magical girl, I'll spend my whole life making up for it!"

After listening for a while, An Shiyu, who was somewhat dazed, only said one sentence:
"But, Miss Peony, wouldn't this make you the first magical girl to be optimized?"

These words sent a chill down Mudan's spine. She glanced at An Shiyu, who was sitting like a duck, and said, "Don't talk about optimization!"

She has already resigned from her job as a teacher, and currently her only source of income is from the Disaster Management Bureau.

If they really optimize her, then Mudan will starve.

The Qingyun Sect would never accept her, given how strong and capable the magical girls there were.

Peony knew that place was definitely not suitable for her.

The Disaster Management Bureau can comfortably slack off, but that wouldn't work at the Qingyun Sect.

If it really gets optimized, Peony will have no choice but to go live and transform into a magical girl to beg for food...

"We should still be careful, Senior Peony. We've heard that many members of the Witch's Guild have come here. There might be danger if we're not careful..."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

As they were saying this, a helicopter flew in from a distance, carrying a huge banner with incredibly imposing text:

[The strongest magical girl from the Disaster Management Bureau, Iris, has arrived! Witches, prepare to die!]

Peony pointed over there and laughed, "See? Even if the sky falls, the strongest magical girl in the General Administration will hold it up. You, a nobody, don't need to worry. Just enjoy your vacation..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow swept past the helicopter.

The helicopter, which was still flying, split in two along with the huge banner, and quickly plummeted into the sea while belching smoke!
"Oh no, the sky has fallen..."

An Shiyu said blankly, "The strongest magical girl seems to have been unable to withstand it, senior."
