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

The residents of the magic town gathered in the square.

Two wooden stakes piled high with firewood stood in the center of the square. The fox-spirit maid carried the bound hyacinth to the stakes and shoved her into the middle of the firewood pile.

The girls held up torches and surrounded the hyacinth, watching the nervous girl.

"Now let's begin the trial of the hyacinth."

Bai Lili sat on the interrogation table to the side, wearing a pair of large glasses, and spoke calmly.

"Hyacinth has committed the crimes of illegally starting the nuclear power plant, forgetting to release cooling water for recovery, and sabotaging the town's construction."

"All my cattle and sheep are gone! My pigs are gone too!" Red Velvet cried, tears streaming down her face.

"My magic lab and shooting range too..." Wheat said with a bitter expression.

"My house and Crystal Tower... they've all been blown up..." Clover was on the verge of tears.

After listening to the girls' accusations, Bai Lili picked up a small hammer, tapped it on the table in front of her, and read out the verdict:

"Based on the witness testimonies, Hyacinth is sentenced to be burned at the stake!"

"No! At least let me explain!" the hyacinth cried out as it struggled on the stake.

"Actually, the original purpose of the nuclear power plant was to provide electricity for everyone in the town! And it could also improve our industrial production efficiency..."

"That's a good excuse, let's cut off a piece of firewood for her."

"Why only one hyacinth?!" the hyacinth wailed.

"Well, well, I have another explanation! Actually, the fox-spirit maid was involved in the construction process; this must be Xin Yuehu's conspiracy!"

"objection!"

Beside Bai Lili, Hellcat slammed his hand on the table and stood up, striking a pose reminiscent of a certain Ace Attorney.

"I object. There is evidence that the fox maid did not cause any trouble. All the orders were given by Hyacinth herself."

"The concrete evidence is right here—"

The catgirl rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a maid's task list. It clearly recorded the instructions from a fox maid who served Albatross. The list was complete, and there was no trace of Heart Moon Fox interfering or causing trouble.

"How could this be! Xin Yuehu must have deleted these records after causing trouble..."

"Absolutely not, confess, Hyacinth!" Hellcat's eyes were sharp, and a smile played on his lips.

People looked around.

The once bustling magical town has changed overnight: the beaches and industrial areas are gone, the magnificent nuclear power array has disappeared, and even the factory ver2.0 I think has been destroyed.

A huge crater, reaching deep into the bedrock, was left in the ground. The surrounding houses were blown up and leveled. Even the unfinished magical barrier in the sky was mostly destroyed.

This was known as the first nuclear accident in the magical town, and the site of the nuclear explosion was named Nornobyl.

What? You're asking why it was the first nuclear accident? Why weren't the albatrosses burned at the stake?

That's the story that follows.

……

And so, the trial of Hyacinth ended in a predictable manner.

Heartmoon Fox promised to restore the town to its original state later, a process known as "rollback," but it would take some time. Therefore, today's FOXCRAFT session ended early, and the remaining time will be allocated to open Heartmoon Fox early tomorrow.

The burning at the stake was merely a formality; after taking two photos, the hyacinth was taken down, but this didn't mean the punishment was simply brushed off.

Tonight's dinner for everyone is being held at a Haidilao hot pot restaurant in Chengdu. Mai Sui used her wealth to book the most luxurious private room, prepared the spiciest chili sauce for Fengxinzi, and arranged for her to sit away from the air conditioner vent.

"As an alternative to being burned at the stake, this is your punishment today, Hyacinth!" Wheat said.

"Eating extremely spicy hot pot with a dry chili dipping sauce when there's no air conditioning!"

"How is this any different from being burned at the stake?!" Hyacinth cried out in terror.

Of course, the atmosphere during the meal was quite harmonious, and since Hyacinth wasn't prevented from drinking beverages to quench her thirst, this extremely spicy meal, which served as a substitute for the burning at the stake, still didn't faze this native of Chengdu.

On the contrary, a certain Fenrir that ate the same super spicy food as the hyacinth was delicious:

"This beef roll is delicious, add it to the hot pot."

"This bacon is also good; it can be put in the hot pot too."

"What is this? Why is it lettuce? Oh well, it's edible. I'll just put it in the hot pot."

The big bad wolf from the mountain city demonstrated a terrifying ability to eat spicy food, leaving Mai Sui and the other Sui city residents, who could only eat slightly spicy tomato hot pot, speechless.

Besides the incident that ignited the entire town, there's another thing worth talking about tonight—Nightingale's speedrun of all achievements is nearing its final stage.

Defeat the dragon, explore the End, obtain elytra that allow you to fly, and finally venture underground to battle the powerful monster, the Wither, and build a giant beacon in the town.

If it weren't for the nuclear explosion causing the server shutdown for maintenance, Nightingale might have already received the hidden achievement reward tonight, but that doesn't change the fact that everyone predicts she won't need much time to get the reward tomorrow.

"What do you think the prize will be?" Edelweiss couldn't help but guess.

"It's probably a limited edition trophy or some kind of figurine, that's always been Fox's style," Hellcat replied.

“…………”

Cheshire Rabbit and Meng Donghua, who had switched to social anxiety mode, were quietly eating tripe in a corner while holding a hot pot, but they still showed a hesitant expression when they heard about the prize.

Seeing the two pink-furred bunnies looking more and more alike, Tian Nanxing wagged her tail, thought for a few seconds, and then brought a fruit plate to the bunnies.

"Woof!"

"Huh?!"

Meng Donghua was startled by the Bernese Mountain Dog Girl who suddenly squeezed in, and let out a rabbit-like squeal. In an instant, the art style became flat and abstract, gradually turning into an abstract style.

"Tian, ​​Tian Nanxing? What are you doing here...?"

"I think you might know what the hidden prize is, woof," Tian Nanxing said in a low voice, feeding Meng Donghua a watermelon from the fruit plate.

"Can you tell me quietly, woof? I promise I won't tell anyone else, woof!"

"Well... it's not really a secret. Fox didn't tell us to keep it a secret, but no one except Nightingale asked, so..."

Meng Donghua sighed, took a bite of the watermelon slice in her hand, and turned her gaze to her older sister, who had just finished eating a piece of tripe.

Cheshire Rabbit immediately understood, grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth, and whispered:

"This reward is different from the previous ones. Fox said that Nightingale might not have enough room for figurines and such, so it's basically a prop specially made for her."

"Woof? Senior Fox, aren't you afraid something might happen?" Tian Nanxing tilted his head, his tail wagging vigorously.

"Not at all worried, because few people besides Nightingale care more about the prize than her," Cheshire Rabbit said calmly, his trust in Nightingale unwavering.

"This time, the prize is the [Mindscape World Special Black Gold Supreme Membership Card]. With this card, you can freely enter and exit Fox's Mindscape World, and you can also experience the test version of Mindscape that Alice and Little Jack created before it is open to the public."

"No time or location restrictions, as long as you have the card, your vision will be fulfilled."

The wagging of the tail by the arum slowly stopped, and it turned to look at the nightingale, who was enjoying a spicy hot pot with everyone, its eyes filled with admiration and envy.

Nightingale, you truly are a role model for us all!
