Patchouli covered her lips with her hands and chuckled gracefully, a hint of understanding flashing in her purple eyes.
Her slender fingers gently brushed across the gold-embossed lines of the magic book:
"Flan's power... is indeed dangerous and terrifying."
The moonlight cast fine shadows under her long eyelashes, swaying gently as she shook her head.
The topic came to an abrupt end, and the witch's gaze turned to another more delicate Shuten-doji.
She pushed up her glasses, her purple eyes sparkling with curiosity:
"But, I do have a question."
Patchouli's voice suddenly became playful, as if she had discovered something interesting:
"What do you think of this fellow tribesman who has the same name as you?"
Her gaze shifted between the two Shuten-dojis—
One leaned lazily and charmingly by the window, dangling the wine cup with her fingertips;
The other one was holding a wine gourd in a bold and unrestrained manner, with the long horns on his head swaying slightly as he became drunk.
The moonlight casts the same silver glow on the two ghost girls with very different personalities, but reflects completely different styles.
Upon hearing this, Shuten-doji raised his red lips into a meaningful arc.
She gracefully swirled the wine cup in her hand, and the amber liquid shone hazily in the moonlight.
"Oh~ This is such an interesting question~"
Her voice was as sweet as honey, yet it also carried a hint of danger.
"Even though everyone calls him Shuten-doji..."
She suddenly leaned forward, her kimono slightly opened, revealing her delicate collarbone:
"But this Miss Suika..."
The fingertips gently touched Ibuki Suika who was drinking heavily,
"More like the type who would chew up a person's bones~"
Ibuki Suika suddenly put down the wine gourd and burped loudly:
"Ha! I can't pretend I didn't hear you!"
She staggered to her feet, the long horns on her head glowing a dangerous red.
"How about we try to see who's better at 'chewing bones' now?"
Shuten-doji covered his lips and chuckled, pretending to surrender.
"Forget it then~ I'm just a weak little ghost, I can't beat you~"
"Ah!"
Ibuki Suika sighed and sat back, and then the two of them raised their respective wine vessels and drank at the same time.
Under the moonlight, this pair of ghost girls with very different personalities showed a wonderful tacit understanding at this moment.
Chapter 54: Magical Girl's Traditional Art of Deceiving Children (First Order Request!)
"Speaking of which, Patch..."
Zhou Yuan looked around the library, his eyes finally falling on the witch who was sorting ancient books, with a bit of concern in his tone.
"Why don't I see Miyu? Didn't I entrust her to your care?"
Patchouli gently closed the magic book in her hand, and a smile flashed across her purple eyes behind the lenses:
"Oh? Are you worried about that child?"
She raised her hand gracefully and pointed at the quaint wall clock.
"According to my daily routine, I should be..."
At this moment, accompanied by a soft "click" sound, the door was slowly pushed open.
A petite figure with a schoolbag on her back walked in with brisk steps. It was Miyu.
Her long black hair swayed gently with her movements, and she carefully held a book that looked very old in her hands.
"I am back."
Miyu said softly, and the moment she saw Zhou Yuan, her eyes lit up obviously, but soon returned to her usual calmness.
She walked over to Patchouli and handed the book to her respectfully:
"Teacher Patchouli, I haven't forgotten to review the theory of elemental magic even in my spare time at school!"
Zhou Yuan noticed that there were a few newly bought feather pens stuck on the side of Meiyu's schoolbag. It seemed that Patchouli was really teaching this child very carefully.
He couldn't help but smile with relief. It seemed that entrusting Miyu to the Scarlet Devil Mansion temporarily was the right decision.
"Miyu is very hardworking."
Patchouli took the book, gently rubbed the girl's hair, and then explained to Zhou Yuan,
"Considering her age, I think proper schooling is also important. So I asked Sakuya to arrange for her to attend a nearby human school..."
She pushed up her glasses and smiled slyly.
"Of course, magic classes haven't been neglected either."
Miyu stood quietly by, her fingers unconsciously stroking the straps of her schoolbag, but her eyes were always quietly following Zhou Yuan's figure.
This once lonely girl has now found a new home in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
……
Looking at Miyu standing alone in the corner of the library, a trace of pity flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
He suddenly seemed to remember something and his eyes lit up.
"Miyu!"
Zhou Yuan waved to the little girl, his voice gentle,
"I have a friend here who I want to introduce to you~"
"Ok?"
Miyu tilted her head in confusion, her black ponytail swaying slightly as she moved.
"playmate?"
There was a hint of hesitation in her voice, but also a hint of anticipation.
Zhou Yuan smiled mysteriously and took out the peculiarly shaped tablet from his pocket. He tapped the screen and awakened the "Shiting Box":
"Alona~Prana~"
The tone is so intimate that it's like calling an old friend.
"Are you guys okay?"
The tablet screen lit up, and two cute virtual characters immediately jumped out happily.
Alona waved her hands lively, and Prana saluted gracefully.
Miyu unconsciously widened her eyes and clenched the hem of her skirt with her small hands, obviously attracted by this novel scene.
"This is..."
She approached cautiously, her dark eyes gleaming with curiosity.
Zhou Yuan gently handed the tablet to Miyu, with a mysterious smile in his eyes:
“They’re not limited to tablets~”
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of azure data suddenly jumped out from the screen, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
The light gradually condensed into shape, and Alona's lively figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Qiang Qiang~"
She twirled happily, her skirt blooming like petals.
"Alona is out~"
"Alona..."
At this time, Prana's somewhat helpless voice came from the tablet.
"Didn't we agree that...it's me this time?"
Alona froze, the smile on her face frozen into an awkward expression. She turned around mechanically, her fingers twisted nervously together.
"Oh?"
Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.
"Prana, what does this mean?"
"Sensei, it's like this—"
Prana's voice was gentle but with a hint of grievance.
"Actually, the materialization device you prepared for Alona can be used by both of us."
Her explanation was clear, but she couldn't hide her loss.
"Alona and I can both enter and exit that body, but only one of us can do so at a time..."
Miyu's eyes widened, her curious gaze shifting back and forth between the two AI girls.
Patchouli also put down the book in her hand and watched the scene with interest.
"But...we actually agreed that it would be my turn this time..."
Prana's voice became quieter and quieter, until it was almost a whisper.
"S-Sorry! Prana-chan!"
Alona waved her arms frantically, her face full of panic.
"I was so excited that I forgot about the agreement! I'll replace you right now!!!"
She turned to Zhou Yuan in panic, her eyes clearly saying:
"Sensei! Help me!"
He looked so helpless, like a child who had done something wrong.
……
Prana sat quietly on Zhou Yuan's lap. Although her expression remained calm, her slightly shaking toes revealed her inner joy.
Miyu stared intently at this strange "little friend", with a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes -
Obviously, this usually calm girl is also full of curiosity about high-tech products.
At this moment, Miyu suddenly seemed to remember something important and trotted to Zhou Yuan.
"What's wrong, Miyu?"
Zhou Yuan looked at the child, who rarely showed eagerness, with some surprise.
"Brother, I encountered something strange on the road today..."
Miyu carefully pulled out a delicate round object from her pocket.
There is a five-pointed star in the center and wing-like patterns surrounding it.
"This thing suddenly flew at me."
Patchouli's attention was immediately drawn to it.
When she saw the object clearly, her purple pupils suddenly contracted:
"Magic costume..."
