Starting with "The Demonic Cultivation," I had no choice but to pretend to be a magical gi

They're profiting from both ends of this piece.

"you……"

Lilia was taken aback and was about to say something when she heard Lin Zhixia suddenly speak as well.

"I want to continue too."

The girl's voice was very soft.

"I want to debut as a magical girl!"

Lilia looked at her with a strange expression.

"Didn't you say before that you hated magical girls? Why are you so fixated on this audition now?"

Lin Zhixia was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting her remarks to be brought up again. She immediately bit her lip and forced herself to speak.

"That was...that's what Fengling told me to say."

She figured there were no outsiders here anyway.

Gu Yun is his agent, and the two have a shared interest. Exposing his relationship with Feng Ling isn't necessarily a bad thing, since having a magical girl as his backer significantly increases the likelihood of his relationship being exposed.

Lin Zhixia was somewhat moved that he was willing to take the risk to help her.

After all, in Lin Zhixia's mind, those words were indeed quite shocking. Didn't you see that no one else dared to take on this hot potato?

Moreover, the fact that Fengling hadn't replied for half a day before probably meant that she had tacitly agreed, allowing her to act according to circumstances before receiving new instructions.

Anyway, her goal is to become a magical girl, so anything that helps that shouldn't be a big problem.

As for Lilia...

Lin Zhixia gets excited at the mention of wind chimes. She simply doesn't believe that the two of them are strangers and have no connection whatsoever.

Wind Chime isn't a magical girl from the Magical Girl Association, so hardly anyone should know her.

It's impossible for someone to watch just two videos and then resolutely decide to make a completely unknown magical girl their idol.

Haha, how is that possible?

"Hey? Sister Wind Chime."

Sure enough, Lilia's eyes lit up immediately, and her original imposing manner instantly diminished.

"Sister Wind Chime actually knows you and even taught you to say things like that? I knew it! That line was so cool, it was Sister Wind Chime's idea!"

The terrifying ability to fill in the blanks.

Gu Yun glanced at the two girls discreetly, and was quite satisfied with them.

People who apply double standards to others are annoying, but if the double standard is applied to oneself, then it's a different story.

Double standards are great; we should have double standards.

"Alright, let's talk about it later."

Gu Yun interrupted the two girls' conversation, pointing out that they were still in a dangerous environment.

"The most urgent thing is to find a way to ensure our own safety and hold out until the Magical Girl Association comes to our rescue. It's not safe to stay here any longer, so we should leave as soon as possible."

Everything will be alright as long as the Magical Girl Association sends reinforcements.

So the three of them continued deeper into the maze.

The surrounding environment is becoming increasingly complex, with a dense network of passages crisscrossing the area, making it almost impossible to tell which way is which. Monsters occasionally wander through the passages, and an oppressive atmosphere permeates the air.

Just as the group was cautiously groping their way forward...

Two figures suddenly blocked the middle of the road.

"Magical girl?!"

Lilia gasped in surprise.

One of them was wearing a sky-blue sailor-style skirt and holding a magic wand that looked like a conductor's baton, while the other was wearing a dark purple gothic lolita outfit and carrying a huge scythe.

They stood on the left and right, blocking the way for the group. If you ignored their blurry, pixelated features, they looked exactly like magical girls.

"Has the association's support arrived...?"

That being said, Lilia wasn't stupid. She wouldn't blur out the faces of any kind person who came to her aid, for fear of being recognized.

"I think it's unlikely."

Gu Yun pulled Lilia behind him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He could see the flow of magic. These two weren't magical girls at all; the dark red magic surging within them was completely of the same origin as the surrounding environment.

Without a doubt, she is a monster disguised as a magical girl.

This is a bit creepy. How come there are monsters of this type?

Gu Yun silently complained in his heart.

The two monsters didn't waste any words. The blue one raised its wand and, without any chanting, launched a beam of icy blue light directly at them.

"boom!"

It struck directly where Gu Yun had just been standing, freezing that spot into a huge lump of ice.

Fortunately, Gu Yun reacted quickly and ran away as soon as the opponent started to attack; otherwise, an ordinary person would have been seriously injured.

"run!"

Without any further hesitation, Gu Yun grabbed the two girls and rushed into another side road.

Only a fool would stay here and become a sitting duck.

Watch me shift the blame to someone else!

"Something's not right."

Even the nightingale's muttering voice in my head was incredibly confusing.

"This is the mental realm of a Reality Marble; all monsters are manifestations of the inner fears that exist within it, just like those wedding dress monsters and butler monsters before. But... a magical girl?"

Nightingale's brain is practically on fire.

"How could anyone be afraid of magical girls? Aren't magical girls the embodiment of hope and justice in this world? Who on earth would be afraid of this thing...?"

Gu Yun spoke to Nightingale as he ran.

"What's so strange about that? Lots of people are afraid of magical girls. What magician can remain unmoved by them? Take you, for example. Wouldn't you tremble at the sight of a powerful magical girl?"

nightingale:……

Actually, no, thank you.

But she was too lazy to explain and just snorted coldly.

"Don't give me that. If it were an ordinary person, due to the distortion, at most a blurry figure with magical girl characteristics would be materialized. But these two are already very well completed. They are clearly images that only someone who is extremely familiar with magical girls, or even has studied them in depth, would have."

As she said this, Nightingale's words suddenly became subtle.

"Hey kid, are you sure this isn't just your fear mixed in?"

Gu Yun: ?

What do you mean?!

This really amused Gu Yunqi. How could he possibly be afraid of magical girls? It was all completely fabricated and pure slander.

I thought that as a powerful figure in the demonic path, you would surely have profound insights, but I never expected you to utter such vulgar words. It is truly chilling and unbearable to look at.

Do you understand passion? (jpg)

Gu Yun's unwavering devotion to the Magical Girl Association and his boundless yearning for magical girls are as clear as day and as bright as the sun and moon.

Gu Yun was absolutely certain that he had never been afraid of magical girls, and he didn't recognize the two phantoms at all.

How can you blame this on yourself?
