The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

That's roughly how it happened.

"We have located Albatross, but it seems that during this period of contact she completed a powerful spell she had been preparing for a long time, trapping herself and the astral jellyfish in the mental world of Millennium."

In the evening, at a barbecue stall in the center of an oasis city in the Gobi Desert, Bai Lili spoke to Chi Xue in front of her.

Then, without realizing it, he licked the cumin off his lips and put another skewer in his mouth.

The girls, wrapped in thick woolen coats or blankets, enjoyed the large lamb skewers and grilled lamb chops specially grilled by the stall owner in front of them.

Heartmoon Fox ate with great relish, and Alice and Little Jack, who had never seen anything like it before, also ate with great enjoyment.

Fenrir, on the other hand, ate with his eyes shining, a skewer of lamb kidneys in his left hand and a handful of lamb ribs in his right, his mouth dripping with oil, revealing his true nature as a gray wolf.

"Delicious, this is so delicious." The gray wolf girl swallowed the mutton in her mouth and looked up at the owner not far away.

"Boss! Two more skewers of lamb kidneys and two extra-large lamb skewers, please!"

The boss nodded in agreement, and the gray wolf girl continued to eat heartily.

Seeing Fenrir's fondness for barbecued mutton, Chi Xue glanced down at the few bamboo skewers on her plate, slumped her shoulders in frustration, sighed, and turned her gaze back to Bai Lili.

The two old men stared at each other across the distance—although Lily is considered the number one of the new generation in most magical girl circles, this does not affect her position in the eyes of the real new generation.

"Sixteen years ago, when Albatross disappeared, I assumed she was dead."

Chi Xue picked up a can of herbal tea drink from beside her, flicked open the tab with her fingers, and gulped down two mouthfuls.

"She always does things her own way, without caring what others think of her. If she's convinced that something has to be done, she'll do it immediately. She's always coming up with some ingenious ideas."

"Sometimes she would just grab a semi-trailer truck from the roadside, and other times she would pick up a utility pole and smash it. Several times, Zidingxiang and I were almost crushed by the cars she lifted up."

"But she's usually a bit dazed. When she walks, she'll tilt her head and stare at the other side of the street, and then she'll bump into a telephone pole."

"I asked her what she was looking at, and she said there was a cloud in the sky across the street that looked a lot like a lilac. We stood there on the street and looked at it for more than five minutes. It really did look like one."

"That's just the kind of person she is."

After giving a scathing critique of her former teammates, Chi Xue took a deep breath and, as if she had made up her mind, picked up an enormous skewer of lamb from Fenrir's plate. Before Gray Wolf could even begin to enjoy it, Chi Xue had already torn off a large piece.

Su Tianqing thought Fenrir would be frustrated and start making a fuss, but she remained quite calm and even showed a pleasant smile.

"You can actually feel a secret thrill after having your food snatched away? You're amazing, dog." Su Tianqing couldn't help but think to herself.

After swallowing the fragrant, juicy mutton, Chi Xue's eyes sharpened, and she continued:

"I always thought that Albatross made some enormous sacrifices... She was even willing to risk her life to severely injure the jellyfish so that I could have the opportunity to burn its remains completely."

"But I never imagined that the sacrifice she made would be so great, far beyond anything I had ever imagined over the years."

The crimson-haired girl took a deep breath.

"call……"

"My life was saved by the albatross."

"Now you suddenly find me and tell me that she's actually still alive and trapped in some unseen and intangible place... Do you know what that means to me?"

"It's like a traveler struggling in the ocean suddenly receiving a lifebuoy thrown to her. She survives by chance and intends to forever remember the person who saved her life, but then someone tells her that the person who threw the lifebuoy is still floating in the sea, and she is still alive."

"Tell me, how do I find her?"

Chi Xue tore off the remaining half of the lamb skewer with a determined expression, and the magical academic time at the late-night barbecue stall began.

Starting with Xin Yuehu, Bai Lili added that Fenrir, Alice, and Little Jack acted as the atmosphere team, working together to instill in Chi Xue the knowledge she had gained from the stargazer Mengmeng.

Chi Xue's magical skills were also unexpectedly solid:

While Hyacinth could only offer the response "Aba aba" after a long discussion, Akashi could recite the magic theory perfectly after hearing it only once, and even extend it with her own reasoning.

The original four-hour theoretical explanation was simplified to one hour, and Chi Xue understood the entire content in just forty minutes. Her ability to absorb and comprehend knowledge made Su Tianqing realize what a veteran player was.

"According to Mengmeng's theory, as long as we know how Albatross cast Millennium, we can deduce the specific location of her mental world on the timeline."

Chi Xue muttered to herself,

"What a ridiculous plan. Trying to trap that immortal jellyfish forever with a half-finished mental world is just too impractical."

"But this is also very much in line with the style of an albatross...tsk, I have such mixed feelings."

"Anyway, the reincarnation plan has already started. The only thing we can do is try our best to pull the albatross out of there," Bai Lili added.

"You were a witness to the unfolding of the millennium, and given your unparalleled magical perception at the time, you were the only one who could remember the details... But do you still clearly remember what happened back then?"

The girl was silent for a few seconds, then gave herself a thumbs up.

"I will never forget what happened back then."

"Even these easily overlooked details, I can remember them perfectly."

……

The girls' enthusiastic efforts continued late into the night.

The discussion only ended when everyone went home to sleep and the stall owner smiled as he looked at the impressive earnings on his phone screen after paying the bill.

"How did your chat with Chixue go today?"

Nan Jiayu leaned against the headboard, holding a thick notebook in her hands, and spoke to the fox girl who had just taken a bath, dried her hair, and whose tail was steaming as she walked into the bedroom.

"The chat went alright, I guess—"

"Chixue is quite capable. Bai Lili and I explained it to her once and she understood it. She's much better than Fengxinzi."

"Ugh... I'm so sleepy... I'm going to bed now, Little Fish. We have an exam tomorrow. Goodnight..."

Su Tianqing nodded in response, lay down on the bed and quickly turned into a flat, fox-like puff. After saying goodnight, she soon fell asleep.

Nan Jiayu looked at the golden-haired fox girl sleeping soundly beside her, smiled, closed the review notes that she had memorized, placed them on the bedside table, turned off the light, and tucked her in.

"Okay, goodnight." A gentle sigh.
