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

Chapter 160 Facing One's True Self, A Flourishing Day! (5000 words)

In Jiang Si's eyes, Li Yi's performance at the beginning was actually much better than her own younger sister's.

After being stunned by the fall, Coco took a long time to realize that she could use the seed to transform.

In the instant Li Yi rolled away, she had already drawn her gun and even managed to sound an emergency alarm.

In terms of reaction speed, it can be said that it is far more professional than Coco.

It seems the Disaster Management Bureau did have some training, but I reckon Coco didn't train in this area very seriously.

The physical body must also be developed...

However, when Jiang Si saw that the magical girl Yinlian had reacted and was using a pistol to tickle the monster, she really couldn't hold back anymore.

Twice.

He hadn't originally planned to fight while traveling with Coco. After all, these B-level Disaster Beasts or Mirror Beasts were meaningless to Jiang Si. Even if they fought, they wouldn't improve their skills; it was just a way to get some exercise.

It wasn't even a warm-up.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Jiang Si had no intention of making a move against either the shark or the crocodile.

Coco was stunned by the fall and didn't transform for a long time, while the other one wasted time with a pistol.

Crouching dragon and phoenix chick.

"Why don't you transform?"

There was no other meaning behind it; I just couldn't understand why the other party would rather die than transform.

Are you training your physical body?
They're quite assertive.

"I……"

Li Yi really wanted to explain that there was a problem with her seed, and she could no longer transform.

But looking at Jiang Si, who stood firmly against the gaping maw of the crocodile monster, he was at a loss for words...

I was a little confused before, why Coco said that Ziyuan was actually just using Jiang Si.

With Ziyuan's strength, she shouldn't be able to utilize Jiang Si... Oh, I see.

If Shion possesses such power without needing any magic, then she indeed needs to utilize him to ensure her safety when she doesn't transform.

Let alone Shion, the Disaster Management Bureau also needs such a gifted talent!

"There's something wrong with my seeds..."

Just as I finished explaining, another enormous body rolled and crashed into me from the street next to us!

Amidst the crashing sound of shattering glass, the rolling ball of flesh smashed through the wall with a loud thud, slamming menacingly into the crocodile's body!
As the crocodile-like monster rolled and crushed several houses before finally being buried in the ruins, Li Yi's heart sank slightly.

"Jiang Si!"

But she didn't have time to look for Jiang Si, because after the ball of flesh knocked the crocodile away, it immediately unfolded.

It resembled some kind of monster or calamity that had been stripped of its quills by a hedgehog. Li Yi couldn't tell what it was at all; she wasn't good at biology.

The smooth skin looked somewhat disgusting.

After knocking the crocodile monster away, its sinister green eyes instantly locked onto her. Just as Li Yi called out "Jiang Si," the rat-like monster lashed out with its tail!

With its slender tail moving extremely fast, Li Yi suddenly ducked and dodged, simultaneously throwing a prepared grenade to scare away the monster beneath it.

After a huge tremor, a large amount of spray gushed out, flooding the entire ice cream shop.

Even if they can't be driven away, the monsters will at least have their vision temporarily obstructed!
Li Yi quickly seized the opportunity to run towards Jiang Si, she absolutely couldn't let Jiang Si get hurt...

A shriek came from behind.

She overlooked one problem: all her methods and budget were prepared for the calamity beast.

What if the monster on the other side isn't a calamity beast?

The spray even became a cover for the monstrous beast, which followed the smoke and dust and instantly appeared behind Li Yi.

Take one bite!
Li Yi reacted quickly, throwing another grenade used to disperse the monster into its mouth, causing it to explode at extremely close range!

There were no grenade fragments, just the impact that blew her away.

The calamity beast bit into empty air.

After rolling several times on the ground, Li Yi crashed into the wall in the ruins. Steel bars pierced through her ribs, pinning her to the wall.

However, Li Yi, leaning against the wall, heard the gurgling sound of blood flowing into her lungs and coughed violently.

He struggled to get out the magazine, reloaded his pistol, and then kept firing at the approaching monster.

I've done everything I could, I don't know why the emergency alarm didn't get a response, but I really did everything...

Even now, she is trying her best to pull her body out of the steel bars so she can see how Jiang Si is doing.

Even if I'm not a magical girl, I can still protect everyone.

I can do it too...

It's all lies.

Stop fooling yourself.

It's nothing but a lie to stop myself from suffering.

Even at a point like this, I'm still trying to comfort myself.

If there were a miracle seed, why would I be waiting to die here?

If there were a miracle seed, how could Jiang Si's fate be left unknown?

If there were a miracle seed, I would have already...

Even after running out of bullets, Li Yi kept pulling the trigger.

She used to avoid thinking about these things because once she did, she would inevitably feel hatred.

Why did my sister do that?
He said that as long as Coco inherited his wish, that would be enough, and he always stayed by Coco's side.

Isn't it just that they still hold onto a sliver of hope, hoping that one day a miracle will happen to them again?

They've been hiding and concealing it all this time, and it's the very last resort.

Stop pretending.

She held her miracle seed with her, never letting it leave her side, protecting it day and night.

Sister, you destroyed my power, I really hate it.

Even though she didn't want to hate it, the more she realized the powerlessness and pain of not being able to become a magical girl.

The more unforgivable it is, the harder it is to forgive.

Her older sister is very good to her; her sister has taken care of her since she was little, so Li Yi can't dislike her sister...

I keep telling myself this, but it still doesn't work, especially at times like this.

There's really no way...

"Give me back my power, sister!"

Facing her own thoughts head-on, as if in a final outburst, she cried and complained about her favorite older sister.

The monstrous beast opened its massive jaws and bit down!
Li Yi closed her eyes, covering her face with her hands.

The deafening roar brought a shock, and the gale ripped at her frail body. The steel bars that had pierced her ribs tore open new wounds, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

The massive blood loss made her feel cold, and she began to feel dizzy.

"Transform."

She heard a sound ahead.

The boy who stood in front of her was covered in blood, and he only showed her his back.

"Silver Lotus".

……

I didn't expect Li Yi to be so tough.

Even when it's about to be killed, it won't transform.

Even Jiang Sixin admired the other's strong will. Magical girls with such conviction and willingness to train their bodies are truly a minority.

Amidst the piercing alarm, he quietly watched from the side of the building, ready to see what she was capable of.

In the end, seeing that he was almost dead, Yinlian finally managed to take out the Miracle Seed.

They were bitten to death before they even had a chance to transform.

As the head of a sect, he naturally felt a sense of appreciation for talent.

Such a near-genius, though unlikely to become a supreme ruler, should not perish here!

So he pulled out the steel pipe with the siren attached and threw it down from above, and the siren stopped abruptly!

The thick steel pipes whistled through the air with a sharp, piercing sound!
It pierced through the entire head of the calamity beast in an instant, sealing the rat-like beast's gaping maw.

Due to the incredible inertia of the calamity beast, although the steel pipe pierced through its body, it could not stop its advance at all!
The steel pipe, imbued with the profound power of the Dao Seed, was like a sharp blade of space, slicing the calamity beast in two from the center. Filthy demonic power, like blood, surged forth, and the forked body of the calamity beast charged forward!

Jiang Si stood in front of Li Yi, extended a finger, and gently pressed it on one of the beast's teeth.

The immense inertia vanished instantly, and the terrifying beast's charge halted abruptly, stopping quietly in front of him.

Only the strong wind whipped at the hem of his clothes, blowing them backward.

"Transform."

"Silver Lotus".

"Cough..." Li Yi sobbed with difficulty, blood gushing from her mouth. "Ah... I, I can't do it..."

"Why can't it be done?"

"The seed is contaminated, I can't transform..."

"Aren't you a magical girl?"

Having lost too much blood, her consciousness was beginning to blur. She vaguely tried to grab the boy in front of her, "I'm no longer..."

So you're planning to give up?

Several more monstrous beasts appeared on the street, converging in this direction.

The world fell silent.

The breathing was heavy and anxious like a bellows, the sharp buzzing sound was like a boiling kettle, and the roar of the calamity beast seemed distant.

Until blood dripped to the ground, the sound exploded in my ears.

Jiang Si was right in front of him, with countless monstrous beasts opening their mouths wide towards him. The scene was blurred, like a hallucinatory dream.

"Transformation."

It wasn't a discussion, nor was it advice.

It is not a suggestion, not a request, not a discussion, not a persuasion.

It was a pure command.

An unquestionable command. Coughing violently, trying to expel the blood from her lungs, she trembled and desperately clutched her miracle seed.

The seeds, stained red with blood, are no longer the beautiful pink.

She slowly pulled herself out of the steel bars. The intense pain had already numbed her. With her eyes wide open, she stared at the monstrous beast that had crashed through the wall, kicking up dust and shards of glass.

"Bloom again..."

The sound of blood gushing through the air was indistinct and low, hoarse like the babbling of someone on their deathbed.

"Flawless, weeping cherry blossoms."

Time seems to stand still.

The moment the blood dripped down, it transformed into delicate pink petals.

At first, only a few petals fluttered about, but then they grew more and more abundant, and cherry blossoms bloomed one after another on the girl's body, which was covered in wounds.

The cardamom buds are in full bloom, their beauty dazzling.

Then, a gentle breeze swept by, and the cherry blossoms fell like snow.

The fallen petals continued to gather.

Until behind the magical girl, a raging torrent of waves surged and roared, engulfing all the calamity beasts in front of her!

The pink dress unfurled amidst the petals, which then drifted out and landed on the ground, creating a carpet of flowers. Other petals danced back onto the dress, reflecting the vibrant spirit of spring.

Falling cherry blossoms landed on her hair like pretty hair clips, and an untimely butterfly landed on her fingertips.

Even Yinlian herself seemed to have been caught off guard by this change, staring blankly at the petals filling the sky.

And the demonic armor he was wearing made his lips tremble slightly.

He let out a gasp.

The strained sobbing was drowned out by the cherry blossoms.

All the calamity beasts were frozen in place amidst the torrent of cherry blossoms.

Then, cherry blossoms bloomed continuously on the bodies of each calamity beast, and branches grew from their bodies, eventually connecting to the magical girl. The impure magic power was continuously absorbed by the branches, purified into pure magic power, and then transferred to the magical girl.

The pale pink dress became even more vibrant, to the point that even her pale pink pupils seemed to bloom.

The rat-like monster that Jiang Si had been holding down was drained of its life force in no time.

When you let go, it transforms into several petals and scatters with the wind.

So he turned back and glanced at the magical girl Ginren.

Compared to the previous transformation, she didn't grow any taller; instead, she remained the same size.

Accepting yourself reveals your true self.

New spells, more powerful magic and mind.

Undoubtedly, the initial stage of the Flourishing Bloom is at its third stage.

It's just a little shorter than Aster.

"Hmph, isn't this done very well?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the magical girl in front of her turned into cherry blossoms and disappeared.

Startled, Jiang Si couldn't even detect the other person's presence for a moment.

The next second, cherry blossoms gathered behind them, and then, the magical girl Ginkaku embraced them.

A petite body trembling slightly, and a voice.

A warm sensation spread from behind, and dewdrops, moistening the petals, dripped down subtly and restrainedly.

"Thank you, really... thank you... Jiang Si..."

Language was shattered by emotion, yet the sobs were ultimately suppressed.

Jiang Si, who had become accustomed to girls bursting into tears at the drop of a hat these past two days, was somewhat surprised that he restrained the urge to elbow the enemy behind him.

This girl is so mature!

It's so small.

The tight embrace made Jiang Si feel the pressure.

A bizarre ability.

He could even feel the filthy magic within him about to be uncontrollably absorbed by the other's cherry blossoms.

He raised his opinion of Li Yi by a few points, elevating her from a half-step genius to a low-grade genius, skipping the minor genius realm.

It's about two cocoa levels.

If his control over magic hadn't been so meticulous, he probably would have been drained dry by her if there had been even the slightest flaw.

Is this still a magical girl?

She seems more like a complete witch.

She thought to herself, "Such a magical girl is rare indeed. I'll probably never forget her in this lifetime."

However, it is known that the pure magic power emanating from the other party is completely unrelated to witches.

"You're welcome. In the end, you can only rely on yourself."

The same applies to magical girls' transformations.

No one can help them.

Jiang Si simply wanted them to believe in themselves. If they couldn't even believe in themselves, let alone become magical girls, their very survival would be a question.

Believe that your personal reality will always prevail over the world, and believe in the miracle that will be answered as long as you call out.

This is the magical girl who can bring miracles and hope.

Screams and roars of calamity beasts echoed from elsewhere. Silver Lotus released her grip and took a deep breath.

After the release of grievances and suppressed resentment, only overwhelming happiness and joy remain.

She still has to save more people.

"Let's go on another date next time, Jiang Si."

"Oh."

"Next time, I will definitely do better..."

As the cherry blossoms faded, the magical girl behind them also disappeared.

……

When Coco arrived, she saw cherry blossoms covering the ground.

Many people on the dilapidated streets were surrounded by flower petals. Even those who were buried under the rubble were lifted out of the ruins unharmed by the petals.

Coco's gaze quickly locked onto the pink magical girl standing in the center. After a moment of stunned silence, her nose tingled with emotion.

"Captain Silver Lotus!"

Yinlian glanced back at her friend, but before she could say anything, she was tackled to the ground by Coco.

She gave a slightly helpless smile and patted Coco on the back of the head. "You're too slow! Teammate Coco!"

“It took me ages to receive the distress signal…” Coco burst into tears again, “Captain Silver Lotus, you’re finally, finally back! It’s so good, so good, waaaah…”

In response to Coco's barrage of questions, Yinlian reached out and tapped her on the head. "Stop crying and asking a bunch of questions. I don't even know how to answer them anymore, Coco! I order you to stop crying immediately!"

"Captain, this is really difficult, sob sob..."

"Alright, alright, you've been the strongest magical girl in the North Sea for so long, why are you still crying so much? If people see this, they'll laugh at our North Sea Disaster Management Bureau and make us look bad."

"Hmm..." Coco, her eyes red-rimmed, looked around again. "Are the Calamity Beasts alright now?"

"Yes, more than ten suddenly appeared, but they have all been dealt with. There shouldn't be any more now, so don't worry."

Coco wiped away her tears after letting go, "Why are there so many all of them suddenly?"

"I don't know. Ten of them appearing at once? There must be something fishy going on. It must be the witch's doing! We need to get everyone in the Disaster Management Bureau on their guard..."

Soon after it was safe, the construction team from Beihai arrived and quickly began repairing the streets.

Regarding the origin of the disaster beasts and their unusual behavior of being unaffected by the spray, Senior Peony from the Disaster Management Bureau ended her vacation and began an in-depth investigation.

It is said that if Senior Peony cannot find the problem, she will use her ultimate, hidden magic—why not ask the magical Twin Leaves of the Qingyun Sect?
Ask them what's going on; they've never failed so far.

Coco stayed by the captain's side and patrolled around several times. After confirming that no new monsters had appeared, the two relaxed and found a secluded and safe place to land.

Although she was excited that Captain Silver Lotus had regained her power, she had been flying around the place and couldn't find her brother. When she finally got off, she immediately asked, "Where did my brother go?"

"Don't worry, it's okay, he's gone home first."

Silver Lotus had petals left on him, so of course Jiang Si wouldn't be in any danger.

Coco nodded in agreement, even though she knew her brother wouldn't have any problems.

After all, she possesses the power to knock a calamity beast down with a single punch, a power that even Shion covets and wants to exploit.

These monsters definitely can't hurt you, brother.

But I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Hearing Yinlian's words, he finally relaxed.

"With Captain Silver Lotus around, can I finally relax and not have to go to work every day...?"

"What's wrong? You just got reinstated and you're already trying to slack off?"

"I want to spend more time with my older brother."

"You're making Jiang Si sound like a lonely old woman. Keke, aren't you being too clingy to your older brother?"

"No."

Yinlian tilted her head and looked at Coco, who seemed to take it all for granted.

The girl pouted and said, "I'm just worried that my brother will be lonely all by himself."

Yinlian couldn't help but chuckle, "Who's really lonely? My brother's crying and wanting to quit his job and run away because he can't find someone..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Coco pushed the captain away, somewhat embarrassed and indignant, to shut her up. "You're the one who sent out those friendship letters after all that time, right?"

"Nope."

"Ugh! I finally managed to create this opportunity for you to be alone, and who knows when the next one will be?" Coco angrily smacked the captain's head. "You're so useless! At this rate, when will we ever send out the friendship letter!"

Yinlian thought about the letter in her bag and shook her head. "I won't see you off."

"Huh?" Coco was taken aback. "No way, I was just saying. Don't give up so easily... Did my brother offend you? My brother's a bit crazy, he's a little cold-hearted, there's no need to hold it against him..."

"no."

Yinlian clutched her chest, smiling brightly:

"I want to deliver a love letter, Coco."
