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

Chapter 50 The Strongest

"It's so lonely without anyone arguing with me~"

As dusk fell, the twins sat on the swing, swaying vigorously.

The already somewhat dilapidated swing creaked and groaned. "Captain, Captain, don't we look like villains in an anime, being defeated one by one by magical girls, and then all of us are taken down?"

"Stop jinxing it."

"Captain, Captain, are you the final boss? Can you grow bigger? How many magical girls can you fight?"

"Are you very free?"

"It's really boring." The twins sighed with a hint of melancholy, and the swing slowed down. "Actually, it doesn't matter who dies here, but Yinluo can't die. She's so fun. It would be so quiet if she died."

"Her death has brought us the seeds of a miracle."

Inside the crystal ball, the captain said in a somber tone, "It deserves half a day of our mourning, but unfortunately, due to our busy schedules, we can only mourn for her in our hearts."

"And they only sent out one Blooming Seed, is that really enough to deal with our invincible Lady Shion?"

"The important thing is not to get rid of it, but to keep it in check."

"Good, good, good! Keep Ziyuan occupied, then we'll crush the Disaster Prevention Bureau and the Qingyun Sect! And unify the North Sea!"

The captain didn't respond, so the twins kicked their toes out of boredom.

She was still wearing slippers when she went out today, but she was hooking her toes tightly onto the edge of the slippers, and no matter how hard she kicked them, she couldn't get them off.

The setting sun and the breeze caressed her feet, and the twins, feeling a slight itch, relaxed and tossed their slippers away.

But with a quick swing, he caught up with the flying slipper, and with a "whoosh," stepped back into it.

Then the twins slowly said:

"Captain, have you ever read any anime or manga where magical girls or superheroes fight against villainous teams?"

"I'm busy."

"Tasteless." After making a sarcastic remark, the twins continued, "I grew up in the Witch Guild, so when I read comics or watched anime, I loved watching the villainous teams fight and bicker. Although they always lost to those magical girls and superheroes, they could always come back and win once or twice. It was so enjoyable to watch that I couldn't help but eat two extra bowls of rice."

"If you could eat two more bowls of rice every day, you wouldn't be this thin."

"Hehe, Captain, how come you've learned to make sarcastic remarks too? Did you learn it especially for me? I'm so touched, Twins."

"roll."

The twins watched as a little girl swung on the swing next to them, swinging incredibly high and far, seemingly about to surpass them. They turned to look at the little girl and immediately snorted.

With a sudden burst of strength, she swung almost into the air with the swing, so high that even she was a little scared.

The twins are somewhat afraid of heights.

However, the little girl next to her also swung up to about the same height, and she naturally refused to admit defeat, so the two of them swung higher and higher.

In the end, the little girl got scared and slowly calmed down. When she tried to get off the swing, she accidentally tripped and fell.

Fortunately, because of the reduced speed, the fall was not serious, but a wound still appeared on his forehead and started to bleed.

The little girl, in pain, ran towards her home while wailing loudly.

"Hmph, little brat, you dare to compete with me in swinging? You're a hundred years too old."

While saying this with pride, he jumped off the swing, landing very quickly and leaving two furrows in the ground with his feet. After coming to a steady stop, he hopped and skipped to shake the mud off his slippers and feet.

Holding the crystal ball:
"Captain, Captain, did you see that? I won."

The captain just sighed and ignored her.

The twins watched the setting sun being dragged into the horizon, opening their arms to welcome the not-so-grand twilight, feeling a little melancholy. "It's like the finale of an animated film. Captain, as the boss, you're about to be all alone. How pitiful. Every time I see a big boss who originally had a bunch of subordinates being killed all alone in the finale, I feel so sorry for him."

Why do you sound like you're about to die?

"Does this mean I can survive if I go against the Qingyun Sect? That perverted killer Ziyuan will definitely kill me without mercy. Tsk, how can there be such a magical girl? She's terrifying."

"You're a magical girl too, can't you be a little more dignified? You're shameful!"

"Hey, Captain, don't take it out on me just because you can't beat Shion. If you're so capable, go and try it yourself."

"I just asked you to stall for time and draw attention away from us," the captain said angrily. "You've wasted so much of BH City's Calamity Egg, and you're acting like you're going to die if I ask you to stall for time? Did I ask you to kill Shion?"

"Hehe, I'm just giving you a heads-up. Anyway, there's no way I can avoid the Qingyun Sect while operating in the North Sea, so let's pray that I don't run into Ziyuan and instead meet Lord Dongjun. Sigh, I wonder if Lord Dongjun will still remember me?"

The captain inside the crystal ball spoke in an unfriendly tone, "You're not planning to switch sides to the Qingyun Sect, are you?"

"Captain, what are you saying?" Twins glared at him unhappily. "I don't remember ever leaving the Qingyun Sect. In the Witch Association, I was a witch, and in the Qingyun Sect, I was a magical girl. That's the real Twins."

What exactly happened to you at the Qingyun Sect?

"It's just a worm that crawled out of a pile of stinking mud, accidentally saw the sun, and then got burned to the point of unbearable pain, ruining the rest of its life."

Bathed in the twilight, the twins walked along, reaching out their hands towards the setting sun that was about to plunge completely into the abyss and disappear from sight.

As he gradually stepped into the shadows, he said, "I have no way to deal with the Qingyun Sect, but the Disaster Management Bureau has been rotten to the core lately. Yinluo's biggest contribution was taking away her sister, so I'll start with the Disaster Management Bureau and capture all their magical girls. What do you think of this plan, Captain?"

"up to you."

"Then, could you tell me how to control the calamity beast?" Twin suddenly said. "Look at me, I'm all alone, I don't have any power, and no one is helping me. Unlike Yinluo, who had me to help her back then, I'm all alone now. Captain, you're busy making trump cards. I really need help. Letting the calamity beast cause trouble is completely useless. Let me control it."

There was a long silence on the other end, so the twins waved their hands and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it, you're such a stingy person."

"You'd better not give it to the Qingyun Sect."

The twins smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry."

"I'll definitely use this to bully the Disaster Management Bureau!"

……

Beihai, Disaster Planning Bureau.

Since the last attack, the Disaster Management Bureau has been in the process of rebuilding.

The little sprites, soaring up and down, are repairing the magical barrier surrounding the Disaster Management Bureau.

The usually quiet Disaster Management Bureau was bustling with people today, especially near the station, where a large bridge was built directly connecting to the Bureau's headquarters.

All guards were deployed, forming ranks at the station entrance and gate.

More like a welcoming party than a security guard.

Susan stood at the door, watching the welcoming ceremony at the station entrance with a bit of boredom.

Why do you look so impatient?

Hearing Peony's question, Susan snorted, "It's just that headquarters sent people over, but they made such a big fuss and even asked us to prepare a welcoming ceremony. This new director is putting on a big show as soon as he arrives. Is he trying to intimidate us?"

"We performed terribly this time. Not only did we lose the Miracle Seed, but we also had an inside agent from the Witch Guild, and the Captain Seed of the Magical Girl Squad was contaminated."

Peony counted on her fingers, one by one, "I think headquarters is already being very lenient by only dismissing the director here. Our bureau is a complete mess. Of course, before, with the Qingyun Sect protecting us, it didn't matter if we just coasted along and got paid. But this time, they can't hold us back anymore..."

An old-fashioned train sounded its whistle from the station. The new director was a sentimental person, so the people in the bureau discussed it and worked through the night to rebuild a section of the old train passage, and even brought over an old train that had long been retired to welcome the new director.

It was flattery to the extreme, one could say.

Peony couldn't help but laugh as she watched the incubators dragging brooms and desperately flying in front of the train.

The trains here can't fly after all. Even if there are tracks, the incubators and brooms would have to pull them.

"Speaking of which, should we tell Captain Li Yi about how Yinluo prevented you from transforming?"

"The person is dead, that's all."

Susan said expressionlessly, "There's no need to make things difficult for Li Yi anymore."

"Just as I expected, Susan, you're still as gentle as ever." Peony seemed to have anticipated this. "Now, Captain Li Yi, like you, has had her Miracle Seeds corrupted and can no longer transform. It must have been Yin Luo who did it. She's really ruthless; she can even do that to her own sister."

"Although she never intended to kill Li Yi."

Susan's tone was icy, "But from the very beginning, she didn't want Li Yi to continue being a magical girl. Yinluo always believed that her sister was not worthy of being a magical girl."

Peony sighed, "What does Susan think?"

Seeing her friend's gaze, Susan simply looked up at the oncoming train. "Yinlian is a qualified captain, she always has been..."

When the train came to a stop, several guards immediately started throwing fireworks into the sky, and some people even set off fireworks.

Peony stared in disbelief, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Our new director is a bit extravagant."

Susan rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

With such a penchant for extravagance, the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau doesn't have much funding for their lavish spending...

As the train came to a stop on the hilltop, the train doors opened, and a beautifully dressed young woman stepped out, dragging a small suitcase.

Wearing a light blue casual outfit, a baseball cap, and sunglasses, she naturally took off her sunglasses as she came down, revealing a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

With her hair tossing, she exudes confidence like a star, and her appearance certainly gives her the confidence to back it up.

Of course, her greater confidence comes from her abilities, rather than her appearance.

"Hello, magical girls from the Disaster Management Bureau! I'm Iris, a magical girl from headquarters, and I'll be the captain of your magical girl combat team from now on."

Peony shook hands with the other person, smiled apologetically, and said, "Sorry, we're not planning to change captains yet."

“However, Silver Lotus, the captain of the magical girl combat team in the North Sea, has lost her transformation ability.” Iris took out a jumble of documents from her small bag.

It's obvious that her bag was completely unkempt and a mess.

It took him a while to find the file he wanted. "Here it is. The Miracle Seed has been contaminated, and Magical Girl Silver Lotus has lost her transformation ability, right?"

“Yes, that’s right,” Peony continued, “but we believe that Captain Silver Lotus will return.”

"Generally speaking, there's no way she can come back." Iris put her sunglasses back on and smiled nonchalantly. "Oh well, I don't mind if you guys prefer your original captain. Just cooperate with my work."

"..."

After waiting for a while and no one else got off the train, Mudan looked back and found the train empty: "Huh? Where's the director?"

"The director went to the municipal government first. She needs to discuss the funding issue with the municipal government, so I came here alone first."

Susan rubbed her forehead. "They told us to prepare for the welcoming ceremony this morning..."

"It's me, it's me, it's me!" Taking off her baseball cap, Iris smiled brightly. "I'm a Blooming-level magical girl, so the welcome ceremony can't be too shabby. Of course, I know your North Sea Disaster Management Bureau is strapped for cash, so I didn't ask for anything like a guard of honor or a choir. Isn't that thoughtful?"

Peony and Susan exchanged a glance, both seeing the speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Dragging her suitcase, Iris strode toward the Disaster Management Bureau. "I heard before I came that the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau is not very strong. Of course, that's understandable. You've only been established in the North Sea for three years, and then you were a step behind that Qing something sect, which made it difficult to recruit magical girls. But to be this bad is something that headquarters never expected."

Although it's infuriating, I can't find any reason to refute it.

"These three Miracle Seeds were meant to be a safety net, and you managed to lose them. This is the first time in the history of the Disaster Management Bureau that Miracle Seeds have been stolen. If I were you, I would probably resign out of shame."

Iris complained the whole way.

Peony and Susan followed behind her, not taking it to heart.

Upon entering the Disaster Management Bureau, the two discovered that this magical girl of the Blooming Rank was somewhat directionally challenged.

Even though the road wasn't complicated, I still managed to get stuck in dead ends multiple times.

Both of them assumed she was going to see something—after all, who would have thought that she could get lost among so many corridors?
I didn't expect her to actually be capable.

They acted all high and mighty like they owned the place, but couldn't even find their way...

In the end, Peony had to go to the front and lead the way.

"Actually, I can find my own way."

As if feeling a little embarrassed, Iris offered herself an explanation.

However, Susan and Peony naturally couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.

Iris simply watched the animated portraits of the many magical girls in the corridor, and finally stood in front of Lark, her face seemingly filled with nostalgia.

Once the crowd had thinned out, Iris casually remarked:

"The Witch Society of Beihai isn't all that great. After all this time, they haven't even shown a few B-rank disaster beasts. Is it because of the region's excellent matchmaking system? Witch Societies in other regions are much more troublesome. I feel a little embarrassed to deal with a Witch Society of this level. Am I being too lenient with them?"

Noticing the strange silence between the two girls, Iris turned her head and looked at them. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Susan said, maintaining her expressionless face. "I'm sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."

"It's nothing, just treat it as a vacation. In North China, there's the Witch Association and A-level disaster beasts, it's exhausting every day."

Iris stretched and said, "Finally, we've found a safe place. Beihai is perfect for a vacation. Once we've dealt with the Witch Society and the Qingyun Sect and retrieved the Miracle Seed, you can take me to some fun places in Beihai."

"Are you going to deal with the Qingyun Sect?" Peony asked cautiously. "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"I don't have that much time either. What's their leader, that purple magical girl, called again?"

"Aster".

"Yes, yes, just capture Shion."

"Excuse my bluntness," Susan said indifferently from the side, "the number and strength of the magical girls in the Qingyun Sect are probably far beyond your imagination. It will be very difficult for you to capture Ziyuan by yourself."

"Are you worried about me? Thank you, cool lady."

Susan's eyelids twitched. "My name is Susan."

"Oh, thank you for your concern, Miss Susan, but it's alright, please don't worry."

The magical girl, at the peak of her bloom, revealed a bright and confident smile.

"I am the strongest!"

　P.S.: I wrote this too slowly, sorry.
