Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 46 Aquamarine

"So, do you need a father right now?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Ziwan's eyes. "Dad's alive?"

"No, seriously."

Would a decent dad buy his daughter sexy black stockings?

Seeing Tang Feng's speechless expression, Zi Wan smiled gently.

"I have parents; I don't need a second father."

Tang Feng finally spoke, "Deep down you know they're already dead."

Ziwan showed little emotional fluctuation. She gazed into the distance and spoke softly, "They are not dead. They have always been by my side."

"But you can't even see them yourself."

"Feelings are often more reliable; what you see with your eyes isn't necessarily the truth."

Ziwan turned her head, her words carrying a deeper meaning.

"Don't you think so, Tang Feng?"

Tang Feng remained silent.

He wasn't sure what Aster meant by her words.

After all, someone had tampered with her.

However, Tang Feng has not yet been able to locate the perpetrator.

Moreover, since he began observing Aster, she has always acted according to her own subjective will, without any signs of being influenced.

To control someone remotely, there must be magical fluctuations, no matter how weak.

Tang Feng's manipulation of Jinju using blood clots would produce a slight fluctuation, but the magical girls around her were too skilled to detect his trickery.

But Tang Feng didn't believe that anyone in the world could do such a thing right under his nose without him noticing.

That seed is a time bomb, but it is currently dead; otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to track it down.

But if we wait for it to activate on its own, something bad might happen.

While pondering this, Tang Feng led Zi Wan to explore other places.

Surprisingly, Aster showed no interest in any of these things.

She showed little interest in anything, from small accessories that girls like to large teddy bears.

As they passed a knife shop, Ziwan's eyes lit up with excitement.

"I'd like to go in and take a look," she offered.

Tang Feng naturally wouldn't refuse; he followed Zi Wan inside.

The shop is small, and the window displays neatly arranged knives of various shapes.

They come in various lengths, including samurai swords, kitchen knives, and fruit knives.

Upon seeing a customer enter, the middle-aged shop owner, who was reclining on a deck chair, quickly came to greet him.

"What would you like, sir?"

Tang Feng looked around. "Anyone skilled at cutting people up?"

The shop owner wore a stiff smile. "You're joking, customer. Large controlled knives require an application to the relevant authorities. The items displayed here are all unsharpened handicrafts."

Tang Feng turned his head to look at Zi Wan, "It seems you can't find what you're looking for here."

The shop owner secretly wondered to himself, "These two people seem a bit off."

The girl looked pretty, but she gave him a creepy feeling, especially the way she brandished the knife, as if she might turn around and stab him at any moment.

Let's get rid of them as soon as possible...

The shop owner approached with a smile, "If you want your knives sharpened, we only have small ones here."

He took down a few small knives and handed them over. Ziwan looked at the sharp blades but said nothing.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a beautifully designed fountain pen.

"I want this."

She cast a pleading look at Tang Feng, "Is it okay?"

Tang Feng nodded slightly. He could naturally tell that the pen was actually a hidden folding knife.

With the shop owner's demonstration, Aster quickly mastered the usage skills.

There is a mechanism on the pen cap; when pressed, a sharp blade ten centimeters long pops out from the side.

Normally, the blade can be folded up and stored in the groove on the side.

It's not much different from a regular folding knife, except that it's more refined and concealed in appearance.

After paying, Tang Feng left the store. He looked at Zi Wan, who was trying out a folding knife and seemed quite fond of it, and said calmly.

"This kind of toy might be somewhat useful during the mage stage, but it becomes completely useless once you become a magical girl."

Ziwan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then asked, "Can I really become a magical girl?"

Tang Feng felt like he had heard this sentence somewhere before.

"Of course, as long as you have a strong enough heart."

"But I've killed people."

"That's not important."

Can a murderer become a magical girl?

Upon hearing this, Tang Feng solemnly said, "You've misunderstood something. Magical girls are not innocent and kind; their hands are stained with countless lives."

"They're monsters, weirdos, criminals—can you call magical girls murderers?"

"The person you killed deserved to die too, and no one will blame you for it."

Ziwan hesitated for a moment, "But I haven't been judged yet."

Tang Feng laughed, "You're wrong. Do you think nobody knows what you've done? Actually, the police and the Magical Girl Association both know."

Ziwan finally showed a look of astonishment.

Tang Feng continued, "You think that if you clean the body up properly, no one will find out? You're just a girl with little experience, how can you compare to experienced professionals? You're underestimating them."

"They already knew everything you had done, but they didn't pursue it because your situation was special."

"And that person is a notorious criminal."

"So, since no one else is pursuing this matter, why put pressure on yourself?"

"Aster, no one can judge you but yourself."

Ziwan fell silent after hearing Tang Feng's words. She lowered her head, lost in thought.

Tang Feng didn't say anything more. At this point, the girl needed to think things through herself, and he couldn't interfere too much.

The two walked in silence, and before they knew it, they had left the shopping center and arrived at the wide plaza outside.

On one side of the square, countless people had gathered, forming several layers of people inside and outside.

At the center of the crowd was a large, makeshift stage covered with a crimson carpet.

Several huge speakers were placed around the stage, from which loud and cheerful music was continuously emanating.

It looks like they're organizing some kind of event.

Tang Feng glanced over there.

At this moment, several young girls are dancing on the stage to cheerful music, radiating youth and cuteness.

Tang Feng quickly lost interest. Just as he was about to leave with Zi Wan, a newly introduced girl caught his attention.

"Next up is our special guest, the peerless beauty known as a once-in-a-millennium gem, Wu Yusha! Please welcome her!"

The host's voice was amplified countless times by the speakers.

A louder cheer and scream quickly erupted from the crowd, drowning out the host's voice amplified by the sound system.

A beautiful girl walked onto the stage, her soft, ear-length short hair spreading out on her head like an umbrella. With delicate features and a gentle temperament, she gently picked up the microphone with her slender, white hands, exuding endless charm with every move.

It seems that being hailed as a once-in-a-millennium beauty is no exaggeration.

However, Tang Feng was surprised to find that the girl was actually a magical girl!

The instinctive flutter in his body towards the magical girl was unmistakable.

Based on the characteristics of the few magical girls currently in Binhai City, he quickly locked onto his target after mentally comparing them one by one.

It's light blue.

Tang Feng hadn't paid attention to Wu Yusha before. After doing a quick online search, he learned that she was actually a somewhat famous idol in Binhai City.

She debuted at the age of twelve and captivated countless male fans with her sweet appearance and beautiful voice.

However, for unknown reasons, her activities have remained confined to Binhai City, without expanding to other places or major cities, which has greatly limited her popularity.

They gained a moderate number of fans only in Binhai City and online.

After greeting everyone on stage, the girl quickly jumped up and down. At the same time, her beautiful singing voice burst forth from her throat and, amplified by the speakers, reached the ears of everyone present.

Tang Feng had originally planned to leave, but since it was a magical girl, he certainly wouldn't miss it.

"Shall we go take a look?" he said, turning to Ziwan.

Ziwan nodded, and the two of them moved toward the dense crowd together.

This event was obviously a last-minute arrangement by some organizer; it wasn't held in a large venue, nor was it scheduled for a nighttime event with better lighting effects.

The conditions were very basic; there were only benches around the perimeter of the stage, while those further away could only stand and watch from a distance.

Tang Feng and Zi Wan squeezed into the crowd, and to prevent them from getting separated, he took the girl's slender and delicate hand in his.

Ziwan didn't react at all, as if the hand being held wasn't part of her body. She just followed behind Tang Feng, along the path he had cleared.

Tang Feng secretly used a trick to easily break through the layers of people, and the two appeared at the front closest to the stage.

Tang Feng observed the young idol on stage up close. In addition to her stunning looks, her voice was also heavenly.

He recalled Shui Lan's clear and melodious voice and found that it was indeed extremely similar.

I never expected her to be a popular idol.

Magical girls are also a type of popular idol, and with the added bonus of both identities, they should have become incredibly popular.

However, Tang Feng understood why the other party hadn't revealed their identity.

In his memory, there was once a magical girl in Kyoto who was an idol singer, but later, her family was subjected to inhuman revenge by a monster, and then the magical girl disappeared without a trace.

Wu Yusha's singing is very captivating. Even audience members who couldn't see the stage clearly from a distance were drawn in by her beautiful and melodious voice.

Tang Feng looked at Zi Wan beside him and found that she was staring at the girl on the stage with a somewhat unfocused look in her eyes.

No way...

Tang Feng pondered.

While it's common for magical girls to be slightly affectionate with their companions, it's mostly due to friendship and the bond that allows them to entrust each other with their lives.

But he has seen real lesbians before.

This unhealthy trend...must be stopped!

The magical girls he cultivates can only be touched by him, not even by other beautiful girls!

Tang Feng, who possesses a perverse desire for control, adheres to his consistent beliefs.

If Aster has this tendency... she must be severely disciplined and corrected.

"You really like that idol?" Tang Feng asked with ill intent.

Ziwan's gaze remained fixed on the girl on stage as she replied, "I like her singing."

"I see."

Tang Feng thought he might have misunderstood, so he didn't pursue the matter further and changed his question, "Don't you think she looks familiar?"

"It's normal to know idols who frequently appear on TV, right?"

It seems that Aster doesn't know that Misty Rain Sand is the same as Aqua Blue.

Tang Feng was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He took Zi Wan's hand and said, "Come over here."

Ziwan, unaware of what was going on, was led by him to the back of the stage.

Security guards quickly stopped him.

"Non-staff members are prohibited from entering this area."

Tang Feng remained unmoved and continued walking forward.

Just as the security guards were about to forcibly remove the trespasser, the ground suddenly trembled violently.

The next moment, a fierce roar resounded through the sky, and when a huge figure appeared, the dense crowd erupted in cheers.

"It's a calamity beast!"

"A calamity beast has appeared!"

"Run!"

“Help!!”

The already crowded people became even more chaotic, with everyone frantically trying to escape in all directions. However, with so many people around, shoving, falling, and stampedes soon ensued.

Tang Feng, having distanced himself from the crowd beforehand, was leisurely waiting backstage with Zi Wan.

The security guards who had stopped them earlier had already disappeared.

Ziwan looked at the enormous figure of the calamity beast not far away, hesitated for a moment, and then subconsciously took a small step forward.

"return."

Tang Feng was speechless at these guys.

They are all magicians, yet they always want to face monstrous beasts that are beyond their reach.

Although Tang Feng admired this spirit, he wouldn't just stand by and watch Zi Wan go to her death.

Because this calamity beast is A-level.

Right now, there's a magical girl on the scene, which is enough to deal with this monstrous beast.

Soon, a slender figure jumped off the stage and quickly ran to the back of the stage.

With the stage curtain high in the background, all the staff must have run away, so no one can see her. It's the safest place to transform recently.

Without much hesitation, Wuyusha took out the Heart Gem and prepared to transform.

At the same time, she saw two people behind the stage, and her heart skipped a beat.

When she looked closely, she realized that the two were acquaintances: Tang Feng and Zi Wan…

Although I don't know why they're here together, it doesn't matter.

Revealing one's identity in front of them is within an acceptable range.

Every second was crucial at this moment. Wu Yusha looked at the two of them, not having time to say anything more. Holding the Heart Gem, she slowly uttered two words in her clear and pleasant voice.

"Transform."

The square had by then descended into complete chaos.

The area was already densely populated, and there was no early warning. Once the monster appeared, it would cause huge casualties.

Fortunately, a magical girl was present; otherwise, countless innocent people would have died during the time it took to receive the news and arrive at the scene.

Shui Lan appeared above the stage, looking down at the chaotic crowd below. She knew that the first thing to do was to restore order.

Otherwise, before the beast even arrives, stampedes alone could cause a large number of casualties.

Shui Lan stood majestically in the air, her voice, imbued with magic, resounding throughout the entire square.

"Don't panic, everyone! I'm Shui Lan, the magical girl of this city!"

"Please follow my instructions! Everyone evacuate to the western exit!"

"Please have the staff on site help maintain order so everyone can leave safely and orderly!"

"As for the calamity beast, don't panic, I will take care of eliminating it!"

"I'll say it again! Everyone! Stop pushing! Move in an orderly manner! You don't need to be afraid anymore!"

"Because the magical girls have arrived!"
