My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 399 The Book of Phantom Butterfly

In the lounge of the comic convention, people came and went. Ning Zixuan, with a smile on her face, leaned closer to Huan Die, exaggeratedly sniffed, and said coquettishly, "Xiao Die, you smell so good!"

"Smells good, my foot! I just came back from the bathroom."

Huan Die rolled her eyes at her, then looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Besides, didn't you say you weren't coming? How come you're here now?"

Ning Zixuan raised an eyebrow and teased with a grin, "You believe everything I say? Well, what if I told you I bought you a house in Chongqing and Chengdu, and you're just waiting to move in? Would you believe me?"

Huan Die didn't follow up on her words, but instead changed the subject to the other person: "How have you been feeling at school lately? Is there anything you're not used to?"

"Hmph, every time we discuss these things, you change the subject," Ning Zixuan said with a dissatisfaction.

-

"It's alright. If I encounter anything I don't understand at school, I'll ask Hoshino Saki. As for whether I'm getting used to staying here, I'll have to ask you that."

While they were talking, Fei Yue and Bai Cha Xia Zi had already arrived at their side. Huan Die saw them and smiled helplessly at Ning Zi Xuan: "Alright, stop looking so gloomy. Since you're out having fun, be happy. You know you're the oldest here today."

"So, wherever I take you, you have to go?"

Ning Zixuan stared at Huan Die with a smile in her big eyes, a hint of cunning in her gaze.

"I don't care. Didn't you always drag me around everywhere when we were little?"

Huan Die turned her gaze and found that Bai Cha Xia Zi was staring straight at her, as if she wanted Huan Die to return to her side. Ning Zi Xuan was holding on very tightly, and even if Huan Die wanted to break free, she couldn't, so she simply stopped trying.

Fei Yue led Bai Cha Xia Zi to Ning Zi Xuan's side, smiling as she looked at Huan Die's stubbornly clenched hand, and asked, "Teacher Ning, what are your plans for coming to Shibuya Comic Con this time?"

Ning Zixuan pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head and said, "I'm not very familiar with this area. If Fei Yue is, you can lead the way."

"Sure."

Fei Yue's gaze lingered on Huan Die and Ning Zixuan for a moment before she enthusiastically introduced, "Shibuya Comic Con is quite large, with fan art displays, cosplay performances, stage activities, and various interactive anime/manga events... So, Ms. Ning, is there anything you'd particularly like to do?"

Ning Zixuan did not answer immediately, but instead turned her gaze to Huan Die.

Bai Cha Xia Zi has always lacked her own opinions, while Fei Yue is always eager to watch the drama unfold.

Suddenly, the remaining two gazes also turned simultaneously to Toyokawa Shoko, dressed in a light-colored dress, named "Phantom Butterfly."

""

Huan Die felt immense pressure being stared at by three pairs of eyes. After a moment's thought, she looked at the bustling cosplay area and suggested, "Since we're already at the convention, let's go check out the cosplay area over there. It looks really crowded; it should be quite interesting."

"OK."

Once they had identified their destination, they set off.

On her way to the cosplay area, Bai Cha Xia Zi seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and unknowingly she slowly moved closer to Huan Die. The sticky feeling was as if Huan Die had an irresistible gravitational pull.

Ning Zixuan took in the whole scene and couldn't help but sigh softly.

She had never been interested in the label of forced love, but the thought of Bai Yuze's flirtatious manner stirred an irresistible urge within her, making her wish she could imprison him and prevent him from ever having the chance to flaunt his charms again.

Moreover, Ning Zixuan wasn't too worried that Bai Yuze would dislike her because of this.

After all, she had known him for so long that she was very familiar with his personality.

In her view, as long as Bai Youqing's safety and health can be guaranteed, and Bai Yuzhe can be provided with good material conditions, with his super adaptability, he will definitely be able to eat well, sleep well, and play well every day, and he won't have any troubles at all.

However, to Ning Zixuan's dismay, whether she was an ordinary human or a magical girl, she was no match for Bai Yuze.

Otherwise, how would Hoshino Seri have had the chance to cause trouble?

Thinking of this, Ning Zixuan glared angrily at Huan Die, making Huan Die feel a chill run down her spine. If only the other party didn't have these messy powers...

Huan Die turned around, but Ning Zixuan immediately looked away as if she had been caught red-handed.

Ignoring the guilty-looking Ning Zixuan, Huan Die turned her gaze to Fei Yue beside her and pointed to the bustling stage in the distance, asking, "Fei Yue, who is that magical girl on that stage? There are so many people surrounding her."

Fei Yue looked up in the direction Huan Die was pointing and gazed at the radiant magical girl on the stage. A meaningful smile unconsciously appeared on her lips as she said, "She's Li Yue-chan, who just debuted not long ago. Because of her cute and innocent appearance and gentle and considerate personality, she has attracted a large group of otaku fans."

After saying that, Fei Yue turned to look at Huan Die, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "What, Little Die, do you like her too?"

Before Huan Die could answer, Fei Yue continued, "If you want her autograph and photo, I can get it for you~"

"Hmm? Judging from your tone, are you quite familiar with her?" Huan Die asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course! We've been best friends since we were little, we can talk about anything!"

As Fei Yue spoke, her eyes crinkled with a deeper smile, but upon closer inspection, a hint of schadenfreude crept into her expression.

"Thank you for your support, everyone. Next time, Liyue-chan will bring you even better songs and dances. Please look forward to it!"

Just as they were talking, the magical girl's clear, melodious, and heavenly singing voice on stage gradually came to an end.

In an instant, the audience below the stage erupted in an extremely enthusiastic shout, like a long-accumulated tide.

"Liyue-chan!"

"Liyue-chan!"

"I will always love you, Liyue!"

From a distance, Huan Die and the others could only see a girl in a pink and white dress dancing like a butterfly on the stage. It wasn't until they got backstage that they could see Li Yue's appearance clearly: a delicate oval face, long, smooth, light purple hair like a waterfall, and an extremely cute cosplay outfit. The top was a short, puff-sleeved pink and white shirt, paired with a fluffy white skirt.

Huan Die was already used to all kinds of magical girl dresses; her gaze was mainly drawn to the other woman's long, straight legs, tightly wrapped in white stockings that were delicate and soft.

Of course, Huan Die only glanced at it before looking away.

After all, of all the white stockings she had ever seen, only Seri-chan was the most perfect.

Huan Die's casual glance caused Ning Zixuan and Bai Chaxiazi to lower their heads slightly, then reveal an expression of understanding.

Backstage, the lighting was dim, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Magical girl idol Liyue is talking to a man in a sharp suit.

"Miss, I have handed over all the money you gave me as you instructed." The man in the suit lowered his head slightly, his expression somewhat grave, hesitant to speak, "But given the current situation, this amount is merely a drop in the ocean compared to the enormous debts owed by our Sakura Group, it's really—"

Kaoru Yamazaki tilted her head slightly, a resolute light flashing in her eyes: "It's alright. There's a saying in Xia: 'Constant dripping wears away a stone, and a rope can saw through wood.' As long as we persevere, I believe that one day, the Sakura Group's debts will be paid off. You agree, right, Rainforest-kun!"

"Don't worry, miss!"

The man in the suit seemed deeply moved by the girl's persistence and courage. His previously listless spirit instantly lifted, and a powerful force seemed to burst forth from him. "I will definitely do my best too!"

"Yes, let's cheer each other on!"

Kaoru Yamazaki smiled and nodded, watching the man in the suit leave.

Once the man's figure had completely disappeared, her gentle expression instantly crumbled.

She took out her phone, opened Alipay, and looked at the meager balance in her account. Her brows furrowed tightly, her face filled with dejection and helplessness. She couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath: "Damn it, how do I still have so much debt to pay!"

"That's easy, why don't you Sakura Group just join our Kuroko Group!"

Just then, Fei Yue walked out from behind Yamazaki Kaoru with a smile.

Yamazaki Kaoru was startled by Fei Yue's sudden appearance. Upon recognizing her, his previously dejected expression vanished instantly, replaced by a teasing tone. "Oh, look who's here! Isn't this Miss Fei Yue? Why did you suddenly return from Xia Country? Did you not make it there and get kicked out?"

"Tsk, what are you saying?" Fei Yue shook her head, feigning helplessness. "I rushed back as soon as I heard that the Sakura Group was on the verge of disbanding because of its debt to the major corporation Mitsubishi NTT. I was afraid that our beautiful and charming Miss Yamazaki Kaoru would have to take the arduous path of performing to pay off the debt. After all, most down-on-their-luck heiresses start by performing and then unknowingly begin selling themselves."

As she spoke, Fei Yue gently reached her long, slender arms around Yamazaki Kaoru's waist and playfully tickled her with her fingers.

"Damn it, stay away from me, you pervert!"

As soon as Yamazaki Kaoru saw Fei Yue approaching, he jumped away instantly, like a frightened kitten seeing its natural enemy, a vicious dog, and hid far away.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that after all these years, you're still so ticklish."

Upon seeing this, Fei Yue couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"You think everyone's a pervert like you?!"

Yamazaki Kaoru rolled her eyes at Fei Yue, then turned her gaze to Huan Die and the others beside Fei Yue, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "Who are these people? Your friends?"

"Yes, that's right. Not only that, they're all your loyal fans!"

Fei Yue winked with a grin, "Yamazaki Kaoru, have you prepared any particularly beautiful photos? Just give them a few, please."

Yamazaki Kaoru looked Huan Die and the others up and down, but didn't pay much attention to them at first.

But when her gaze fell upon the clothes on everyone's bodies, her eyes turned somewhat strange. Her gaze lingered between Huan Die and Ning Zixuan for a moment, then she slowly shook her head and said seriously, "How about this? I usually sell photos to fans for 50 yuan each. But for your sake, Fei Yue, I'll give it to you for 100 yuan each. What do you think?"

"No way, asking for a few photos is already doing you a favor, and you actually dare to charge us?" Fei Yue stared wide-eyed in shock at Yamazaki Kaoru, "Do you believe I'll send all those private photos of yours to your fans later?!"

"If you're so capable, then go ahead and make your fortune! We'll just die together, no matter what!"

Kaoru Yamazaki retorted without backing down.

""

Huan Die slowly looked at Fei Yue. Sure enough, none of the people who could play with Fei Yue had a normal brain.

In the end, each of Huan Die and the others received a photo of magical girl idol Riyue with Yamazaki Kaoru's autograph.

For the rest of the time, Fei Yue led the way, strolling around here and there. Overall, it was quite different from the anime conventions in Xia Country; its diversity and immersive experience were much better. Whether buying doujinshi, appreciating cosplay, participating in interactive experiences, or watching stage performances, one could feel the charm of anime culture.

Before leaving Shibuya Comic Con, Fei Yue took them to the doujinshi section so they could experience the local customs and culture of Japan and buy a few doujinshi that they were interested in.

Ning Zixuan wasn't particularly interested to begin with.

For her, simply strolling around with Huan Die today was enough to make her content. Since leaving Ye Qiu City, the two hadn't had such a leisurely stroll together. This simple yet warm moment felt incredibly precious to her.

Until, unexpectedly, her gaze suddenly caught sight of a deep purple figure.

For a moment, she froze, then instinctively turned to look at Huan Die before quickly shifting her gaze back to the cosplayer.

After taking a look, Ning Zixuan immediately became interested and said to Fei Yue with a smile, "Fei Yue, I see there are quite a lot of people over there, why don't we go take a look?"

"Hmm?" Fei Yue turned her head in the direction Ning Zixuan pointed. When she saw the "18+" sign on the stall, her expression instantly turned strange, and she asked with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, "Teacher Ning, are you sure you want to go over there?"

Ning Zixuan smiled gently, her eyes crinkling, "Go take a look, it's alright."

Seeing this, Huan Die's lips twitched. How could it be okay for a teacher to take students to buy notebooks based on the students?

Immediately afterward, under the strange gazes of Fei Yue and Bai Cha Xia Zi, Ning Zi Xuan flipped through several fanfiction books themed around the Demon Princess and Illusionary Butterfly with great interest.

Not only that, she seemed to still want more, so she picked out a few more books and promptly paid for them.

At this moment, the cosplayer of the Demon Butterfly, who was minding the stall, was in a particularly good mood. She quickly packed up the doujinshi and handed it to Ning Zixuan with a smile.

Then, she turned her gaze to Huan Die beside her, and a friendly smile naturally appeared on her face.

She really didn't expect that the wealthy Huan Die would return here again. What was even more surprising was that Huan Die brought her new customers.

"Welcome back, esteemed guest!"

The cosplayer, who plays the Demon Princess Butterfly, enthusiastically said, "As the old saying goes, timing is everything. Just after you bought those story collections, my boss rushed to print several more copies of the new storybooks. You can take a look; the content is absolutely amazing!"

"This time, I can give you a 30% discount, since you brought me a new customer."

As she spoke, her gaze towards Huan Die was so kind and sincere. Huan Die:

'

""

Amidst the surprised, shocked, and bewildered gazes of Ning Zixuan, Fei Yue, and Bai Chaxiazi, Huan Die remained silent.

She was starting to lose control; never before had she felt such intense killing intent towards a certain abyssal beast.

Today, this Abyss Cartographer has done it thoroughly. Before, out of respect for Sister Yingluo, Huandie only gave the other party a slight lesson.

But this time, she's determined to kill him!

Even if the Lord of the Abyss were to descend personally, there's absolutely no way he could stop them!!!
