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

Chapter 147 Coco, the Beacon of Hope in Beihai
"Coco! North of the city! Move the magic fifty meters to the left!"

"Roger that!"

Coco, hovering in mid-air, immediately locked onto the direction north of the city. A massive red beam of light blasted towards it, instantly turning the fleeing monsters there into ashes.

For Coco, C-rank disaster beasts were hardly anything to worry about.

However, following the Disaster Management Bureau's training, they remained vigilant until they had shattered the Seed of Grief before stopping.

In the past, if disciples of the Qingyun Sect were to compete for the Seed of Sorrow, there wouldn't be this much trouble.

But recently, for some reason, the magical girls of the Beihai Qingyun Sect have rarely appeared, so Coco had to personally destroy the Seed of Sorrow.

To prevent any strange or unusual things from popping up again, the Disaster Management Bureau has previously encountered situations where new Disaster Beasts were born from the Lament Seeds left behind by the Death Beasts...

After the calamity beasts in the west had been mostly cleared out, Coco looked around at the other areas.

"Wait! West! Watch out for the west! Don't distract Coco!"

"I've already told you not to give orders blindly..."

"Coco, you need to be careful!"

Then I heard someone's voice through my headset.

They started arguing again, as was their habit.

Coco listened with a hint of helplessness, but she had gotten used to it over the past few days.

Most of the senior members of the Rose family work at the police station. She was also transferred there to help with the Heart Image Remains incident.

Meanwhile, An Shiyu and Mudan from the bureau had already gone to provide support, so now, the only one in the Beihai Disaster Management Bureau who could truly be deployed at any time was himself.

However, this is not a problem for Coco, since she has rarely encountered a lack of magic power since she was promoted to a new seedling.

More importantly, through training, her control over demonic consciousness has become increasingly better.

Once unfolded, it can cover half of the North Sea with its demonic consciousness, and can clearly sense the movement of any unclean demonic power.

The downside is that she has no way to hide her demonic consciousness.

When the demonic consciousness spread out, the calamity beasts within sensed the abnormality and immediately became agitated, quickly screaming as they flew up and tried to attack those around them.

There were two monstrous beasts in total on the west side. One rushed onto the street and ran through the traffic, while the other grabbed a little girl and flew through the air.

They are all B-level disaster beasts.

"cocoa!"

Yiyi's voice came from behind. She was driving and holding a spray bottle. "Get the top one down first!"

"Copy that, Captain!"

With her magical senses locked on, Coco, gripping the magic wand, prepared her magic power.

then.

Great Wilderness Prisoner Sky Finger!
He slammed down on the flying monster.

Coco's control over magic in this move has reached a level of consummate skill.

After all, ever since she was given special training by Shion-sensei last time, Coco has been practicing this move diligently after finding the trick.

Her honed skills allowed her to press the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger hard against the back of the calamity beast, crushing it amidst its screams.

However, the magic stopped with extreme precision in front of the girl being held by the monster, without harming her.

When the calamity beast fell and the child cried out as she plummeted from the sky, Coco once again carefully caught the girl with the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

This was a usage that Coco figured out herself. She thought that since it was a finger, it could be used as a finger.

It turns out that it really works, and it's very effective.

Two enormous fingers carefully pinched the little girl and flew her toward the ground.

The child, who had been wailing, was able to float in the sky after realizing that everything was alright. In an instant, he stopped crying and started laughing, waving his arms and legs and touching and pinching his magical fingers.

When it was put down, it was still jumping around, trying to touch the magic finger.

The child's parents rushed over, hugged the child, and thanked them while crying.

Although they were far apart, Coco could still hear them clearly.

A small sense of joy and pride welled up inside me, but soon Yiyi's voice came through the earpiece.

"Ah, great magical girl Coco, I know you saved a family, which is something to be very happy about, but if you hadn't come soon, your lowly little follower Yiyi would have died here after being flushed down the toilet..."

Coco quickly looked down and searched. Yiyi's car had been smashed to pieces. The entire car had been swept into the sky by the tornado, obviously the work of the monster.

She leaned against the car, holding a pistol in her hand, which is what all the Disaster Management Bureau combat team members are equipped with.

The bullets inside are magic bullets, but unfortunately their power is not very good; they can only repel and hinder the disaster beasts.

It's practically impossible to defeat the calamity beast with this.

However, Coco had heard that there were cases of people defeating the monsters with firearms in Jiangming City. It would be great if Beihai could find a way to buy some of these weapons...

"They're here! Captain, hold on!"

Before the shout came out, the magic cannon had already blasted away the calamity beast that had almost driven Yiyi to the brink of despair, and then smoothly landed Yiyi's car on the ground.

Judging from the scene, this monster was racing with vehicles on the main road. It was only after Yiyi stopped it and lured it to an open square that Coco was able to kill it easily.

Otherwise, if they were in a crowd, this last bit of strong wind might have caused some injuries...

Although Coco was actually keeping an eye on Yi Yi's situation and could deal with any problems immediately, it was best to have Captain Yi Yi hold off the flying bird monster while it was carrying hostages, just to be on the safe side.

Coco, who flew down, gave Yiyi a high five. "Thanks for your hard work, Captain!"

"I've already told you I'm not the captain anymore. I'm the setting sun, while you're the rising sun of tomorrow," Yiyi complained softly. "You shouldn't call me captain anymore."

"Anyway, to me, Yiyi will always be the captain!"

"Coco, the team member!"

"To!"

"As the captain, I hereby order that you are not allowed to call me captain from now on."

"No."

"Why!"

"Because Yiyi is no longer the captain."

Enraged, Li Yi reached out and tugged at the face of her quick-witted junior.

Although Li Yi can no longer transform into a magical girl, as she herself said, she will do her best to help Coco fight in her own way and become a better magical girl.

Now, Coco has become the strongest and most reliable magical girl in the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau.

"Magical Girl Ruri, I'm your fan!"

"Wow, it's really Magical Girl Ruri!"

"Can you sign your name for me?"

"Can I take a photo with you?"

"Please, please go out with me!"

……

After only a short while, the surrounding crowd gathered around, and Coco quickly grabbed Yiyi and took off first.

"Yes, I'm sorry, everyone. We still have other monsters to deal with. I apologize, we can't waste any more time. Goodbye..."

Watching Coco hurriedly hug her and fly away, Li Yi couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"Big star, you need to get used to being fawned over soon..."

Was Captain Yiyi like this back then?

"Uh, I'm not very popular..." Yi Yi scratched her head. "Back in the Magical Girl Squad, the most popular one was Hyacinth-senpai, and then Susan. You should know how popular Susan is, right?"

"Oh, I was on TV a lot back then."

"After all, she was a ratings guarantee for a period of time. Magical Girl Mermaid, Julu! She was super popular back then. When Susan lost her transformation ability and the Disaster Management Agency announced her retirement, her fans would cause trouble at the government building every day."

"Wow……"

Just hearing about it gives Coco a headache. "I hope I won't have so many fans in the future..."

"You're now the face of the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau, so you'll definitely have a lot of fans in the future. The government will also promote you a lot. After all, we can't let the Qingyun Sect steal all the limelight. The magical girl Dongjun has stolen a lot of popularity from the Disaster Management Bureau's magical girl in the public eye. I myself was heavily boycotted because I was seen as the official magical girl who stole Hyacinth's position."

At this point, Li Yi said with a hint of regret, pinching Coco's cheek, "Anyway! Coco is the last hero in our department, don't lose to the great demon kings of the Qingyun Sect!"

"I'm nowhere near as good as Shion-sensei."

"Anyway, Magical Girl Shion isn't very popular in the North Sea, so don't worry." When Coco flew back to the Disaster Management Bureau with Yi Yi, she suddenly remembered, "Speaking of which, where did you get that car, Captain?"

"Oh, it was temporarily requisitioned."

"Huh?" Coco was a little dumbfounded. "Then, is it okay that you messed up someone's car like that?"

"Don't worry, we will compensate you. I've already spoken to the car owner, and the Disaster Management Bureau will provide full compensation."

"I remember you don't have a driver's license, and when did you learn to drive..."

"Of course the members of the Disaster Management Bureau have special privileges! I learned to drive from my sister at the Disaster Management Bureau, so Coco, you can rest assured!"

"..."

After the two returned to the Disaster Management Bureau, Susan came out first and said coldly, "Thank you for your hard work."

The Disaster Management Bureau is rather deserted these days, with only a few people around. If Susan doesn't come out, basically no one will come to greet her.

"There seem to be fewer and fewer people at the Disaster Management Bureau lately," Li Yi said as she walked into the bureau. "The number of disaster beasts has inexplicably increased, and there's still no news from Peony at the Heart Image Remains."

"Yes, there's been no news from either Peony or An Shiyu."

After hesitating for a moment, Susan continued, "I plan to go to Anyang to take a look. Although Peony likes to slack off, she usually won't disappear without a trace like this."

"Okay." Yiyi took Coco's hand. "Leave Beihai to us, no problem!"

Susan's lips twitched slightly before she looked at Li Yi. "Regarding your Miracle Seed issue, you can ask someone from the Qingyun Sect if you have the chance. You might find something useful."

Li Yi was a little surprised, then nodded, "Yes, I will, but it seems that the magical girls of Qingyun Sect have all gone to other places recently..."

"It seems like they're looking for someone..."

I heard that the situation at the Heart Remnant site is over, but some things seem to be just beginning.

I've heard that the Qingyun Sect has been very active in other places lately, I wonder who they're looking for.

Coco was a little curious, but ultimately it had little to do with her.

After making the report, Coco didn't stay at the Disaster Management Bureau for long, because there was nothing else for her to do.

As the only magical girl in the Disaster Management Bureau who can be deployed at any time, she rarely needs to worry about the work behind the scenes.

Li Yi stayed at the Disaster Management Bureau to handle the aftermath.

I returned home alone, and the house was still empty.

As for those who had mentioned coming to stay, Li Yi usually only comes over at night. Recently, the Qingyun Sect has been quite active, and she often works overtime at the Disaster Management Bureau, which means she often ends up staying there.

Susan is in the same boat; An Shiyu and Senior Peony went out on a mission and haven't returned yet.

Jiang Si did not return either.

Before leaving, she said she was going to a hotel for tutoring with Ms. Ziyuan, but it turns out we didn't even go to any hotel...

Mingming's parents' biggest expectation for them was that they could study hard and get into a good university. However, Jiang thought about taking the college entrance examination in his second year of high school, but he was inconsistent in his studies.

Maybe she secretly ran off to play outside with Ms. Shion...

Thinking about this makes me feel a little stifled.

It's one thing to go out and have fun, but there's been no news from them for so many days.

Ms. Shion should also be a high school student. Those two wouldn't have had a child while they were in high school, would they?

If they really had a child, how could Jiang Si possibly afford to raise it? Besides, given his personality, he probably wouldn't like children. But Teacher Ziyuan would definitely be reluctant to part with the child.

Next, the two argued over their child, then the older brother abandoned her after starting something, and Ms. Ziyuan, a single mother, raised a genius child to take revenge on Jiang Si, leaving Jiang Si filled with regret in the end...

Meanwhile, she herself is an evil aunt who secretly plots to persecute her nephews and nieces, refusing to let Ms. Shion and her child be included in the family photo...

Lost in thought, I went back to my room. It was cold and quiet. I turned on the light, went back to the kitchen, and quickly heated up some food.

She's been cooking for two people lately, originally planning to have dinner together when Jiang Si comes back someday.

As a result, he didn't come back for several days in a row, and the extra meal I prepared had to become leftovers for the next meal.

Fortunately, it's also much more convenient; you can basically eat it after heating it up.

When I finished cooking, I habitually went to the TV and turned it on. Next to the TV was a photo of me and my parents.

Smiling parents, a silly, dazed look on his face, and an impatient Jiang Si.

If Jiang Si has a child, should we add her to the family...?

Coco, who had inexplicably thought of this, immediately shook her head, realizing that she was overthinking it.

I casually picked up the remote and switched to the news channel.

Actually, this habit originated with Jiang Si. When he was a child, he liked to turn on the TV and tune into the news channel after each workout.

Actually, no one in the family liked watching the news except Jiang Si. He especially liked watching strange and unusual news. Thinking about it carefully, perhaps Jiang Si was already searching for traces of magical girls back then.

After what happened three years ago, Jiang Si rarely turned on the TV anymore. However, Coco herself developed the habit of turning on the TV and listening to the news while eating or even sleeping.

She appeared in the news today. BH City has been sparing no effort in promoting her recently, giving her a lot of exposure, and there have been several press conferences prepared for her in the past.

However, Captain Li Yi refused them all for her, which relieved Coco.

She disliked the feeling of being in the public eye, and besides, it would be embarrassing if the members of the Qingyun Sect saw her.

Others who are so amazing have never been on TV, but I, a new magical girl with no real talent, have gone and made a big splash.

That's so embarrassing.

"Recently, the Qingyun Sect's brutal suppression of the Witch Society has begun to spread to South China. Many members of the Witch Society have already surrendered, claiming that the Qingyun Sect has begun to indiscriminately kill innocent people, seriously disrupting social order and causing great panic..."

Although news reports often criticize the Qingyun Sect, today's comments seem a bit harsh.

Ever since the remnants of the mental image disappeared, things have been strange at the Qingyun Sect.

I wonder what Shion-sensei and the others are doing. It seems they had a large-scale purge of the Witches' Guild members before.

They've been condemned many times.

Coco finished her meal while listening to the news, then got up and went into her bedroom after clearing the table.

She has exams in a couple of days and needs to study. She's been busy with magical girl stuff lately and has fallen behind on some of her classes...

After taking my schoolbag out of the bedroom, I noticed a beautiful figure in purple standing next to the TV in the living room, staring blankly at it.

"Ms. Shion?"

After a moment of surprise, Coco was startled. "You, why did you suddenly come?"

Then I started to feel a little uneasy.

Is she trying to tell herself she's really pregnant...?

Or has he already been dumped by his brother, so he suddenly came looking for him?
So, how should I comfort her?
Oh no, I can't think of anything.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't see any downsides to the two of them breaking up, and she couldn't even empathize with Shion-sensei's sadness...

"I'm here to talk to you about your brother."

As I expected, the next step is probably to confess that I was dumped.

But suddenly, Coco sensed something different.

The weariness and unease emanating from Ms. Shion were palpable, along with her evasive gaze.

This was the first time she had sensed Shion-sensei's weakness, as if she were afraid of her.

She had never felt such an aura from Shion-sensei before.

Weakness, fear, the loss of that omnipotent, reassuring reliability.

It was only then that Coco realized that Ms. Shion was really small.

I hadn't noticed it at all before...

"Jiang Si has gone missing."

The sound also became very soft, while the news broadcast was very loud, so loud that it was somewhat noisy and disruptive, which made Coco suspicious for a moment.

Is she really Ms. Shion?
"We can't find him."

But soon, my thinking became sluggish, and I was no longer able to discern the truth of the matter.

Coco stared blankly at her, then glanced at the drifting catkins outside the window.

A thin layer of white had accumulated in the yard.

It's starting to snow in Beihai.

"What do you mean by 'cannot find'?"
