Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

If this experiment can be completed thoroughly, the battle pattern of the entire magical girl world will be greatly changed, so much so that it may even be possible to eradicate all the void beasts.

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 98: Welcome Home

Dragging her tired body out of bed, sleepy-eyed Nakajima Rei put on the dragon scale necklace placed in the decorative box on the bedside table around her neck.

She gently touched Nanako who was still sleeping beside her. The latter seemed to notice something, rubbed her eyes, and then straightened her upper body.

"Nanako, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Well, Nanako also wants to work as hard as Rei-nee."

Hearing this, Li smiled unconcealedly, a smile that was warm and gentle.

During the year that she helped Meiko Ando take care of Nanako, because they both had a close relationship with Meiko, she felt like she was taking care of her own daughter.

She had never had such thoughts before, nor would she feel warm and at ease with such behavior.

During this year, every time she thought of An Teng Meizi, Li felt a little guilty, because she was An Teng Meizi's girlfriend, but she was always protected by her.

After seeing that Katerina had broken through the shackles and reached the advanced level more than half a year ago, she even felt unprecedented anxiety.

So during these days, she had thought about making herself stronger, but for a year now, she has been the one who worked the hardest both in training and in actual combat, but things just went against her wishes.

During the battle, she gradually discovered that among the group of old people who joined the Tokyo branch, she had become the one who was lagging behind. Even Ai Ge, who had not trained much, was stronger than her.

But no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach this step. Every time she tried to break through, an unknown heavy iron door would block her, making it impossible for her to get out.

Not only that, she even detected a very familiar smell in the bottleneck. It was the smell of her sister Akira Nakajima, the person she had once been closest to.

However, after realizing this, she tried hard to recall what happened on the day her sister died, but no matter how hard she tried, the memory that she should not have given up the most became blank.

She suddenly realized that this memory that she had lost for unknown reasons, and the feeling of her sister suddenly appearing when she reached a bottleneck, were probably the key reasons why she could not make a breakthrough.

She shook her head and put aside everything she had just thought about. She carried Nanako, who had already gotten up but was still drowsy, to the bathroom and started the first thing of the day: washing up.

Looking up out the window, she saw that the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Ever since the day she lost contact with Meiko Anten, she would get up so early every day to exercise with Nanako, and this has been going on for a whole year.

She didn't expect that Nanako, a little girl who was usually greedy and playful, would stick with her for such a long time.

It's just that this kind of exercise can be converted into her strength through the etheric body. But this kind of exercise, which is considered easy for athletes, can it really make this little evil god stronger?

This is unknown, because any battle with Nanako involved will be extremely easy. After all, a mere ghost-level void beast is not enough to test her specific combat power.

Nanako, who had already washed up and was jumping around at the door to warm up, suddenly stopped. This pause made Li cast a puzzled look at her.

But when she saw Nanako, she noticed that her eyes had become dull, and this was the first change Nanako had made in the past year.

Then Nanako turned around without saying anything to her and hurriedly jogged along. After a while, she heard the sound of the entrance door being opened.

"Strange, why did this kid run away?" Li wiped her hands after packing up and followed Nanako all the way to the entrance.

At this time, Nanako did not leave the house, but just stood in front of the entrance, motionless like a statue.

"Nanako, what's wrong with you? Is there something outside?"

Rei walked to Nanako's side and touched her hair, then looked across the entrance to the girl standing quietly outside the door.

Her eyes, like Nanako's at the moment, became dull in an instant. She couldn't believe that the girl in front of her, the person she had been thinking about day and night, was actually standing outside the door.

At this moment, he had turned into a statue, not daring to move, for fear that if he moved, the girl in front of him would disappear in front of him like mist blown away by the wind.

Outside the door, Meiko Anten couldn't help but laugh at the two girls, one big and one small.

Didn't I just go back to Li's nest early because I just woke up and couldn't fall asleep early? Why did they look at me as if I had seen a ghost?

"Nanako-chan is up so early, I wonder if you two are sick?"

They saw the familiar girl waving at them in disbelief, until the familiar voice reached their ears, Nanako and Rei's bodies trembled at the same time, and then tears flowed uncontrollably from their two pairs of beautiful eyes.

They pounced on him at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and knocked him to the ground one by one on the left and right as if they were subduing a heinous criminal.

"Anten Meiko, you bastard... It's been a year. Where the hell have you been this whole year?"

"Sister Meiko, wuwu, Nanako, Nanako misses you so much!" The emotions that the two girls had accumulated over the year completely erupted at this moment.

Yako Anten just lay on the ground. She reached out and gently stroked the two people's heads, her own eyes already red.

The choice she made to jump off the volcano a year ago was hers, and her choice did not betray her. The fusion with the primordial ether brought her countless benefits, and even her strength has been improved to the level that she can defeat the second-evolved dragon-level void beast.

Although she had been keeping it in her heart and looked as if nothing had happened, she had also been waiting for today's meeting for a whole year.

Rei and Nanako are special to her because Rei is the one who brought him into the house, and she is also the hope she finds in the world of magical girls that is a world of endless battles.

The same is true for Nanako, who is like both his sister and his daughter.

The three of them completely ignored the crying of others. They hugged each other tightly as if they wanted to rub each other into their bodies.

Until Anten Meiko wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a twisted and ugly smile with her crying face: "Rei and Nanako, I... I'm back."

"Welcome home, Meizi..."

"Sister Meizi, welcome back."

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 99: Your Exclusive Maid

"I say, isn't it shameful for you to cry at your doorstep? At least come in and talk." The girl standing inside the door was rubbing her eyes and complaining impatiently.

Hearing this familiar voice, even though she and Iris, now Mao Guang, had been enemies for such a long time, when she heard her speak, Meiko Anten still smiled.

"She's right. Let's go in quickly to avoid being laughed at." After suppressing her emotions, An Teng Meizi helped the two girls who were clinging to her like octopuses and had no intention of letting go into the house.

Fortunately, it was still early in the morning and there were not many people around, so not many people were lucky enough to witness this scene.

As soon as she entered the door, another figure rushed over at an extremely fast speed, pushing the two people on her halfway in an instant and holding them tightly in his arms.

Meiko Anten was stunned. She had wondered when Xiaoguang had become so enthusiastic. When she looked up, she found that he still ignored her and walked upstairs.

Rei and Nanako were pushed aside, still walking in front of her. So who was the person in her arms at this moment? Small, soft, and fragrant, and not the girlish body type of Katzelina, Rin, or Ayaya.

"Yihua, what are you doing? Don't think you can be so arrogant just because I took you in." Li's yelling made An Teng Meizi's body tremble suddenly.

"Yi, Yihua?" In her impression, the only girl named Yihua was when she was captured at the base a year ago. She appeared as a female ghost in public, but in private she was a pitiful little loli.

Celiane, Hiiragi Kazuka.

She slowly lowered her head and was about to say something, but soon she felt her body being thrown aside.

"Big sister, you're such a jerk, you're so bold to disappear for a whole year."

　"Yihua? You...why are you here? And dressed like this..."

At this time, Yihua was wearing a short-skirt maid outfit. Her black and beautiful hair looked a little messy, as if she had just woken up. Her pair of small and cute bare feet stepped on the ground, and her pink toes looked very tempting, like the most delicious pure natural food, which made people want to put it in their mouths and taste it.

"Big sister, I am your personal maid now. Are you honored?"

However, although she was wearing a maid outfit, the loli girl with her hands on her hips and a look of disdain on her face did not look like a maid at all. Instead, she looked like a queen cosplaying as a maid.

Before An Teng Meizi could answer, she pushed him away: "Humph, but where I want to go is none of your business."

"You said it so nicely, but I don't know who begged me to let you stay here."

Li's words made Yihua curl his lips and smack his lips. "Tsk, didn't you agree not to tell anyone about this? And I've contributed a lot to your Tokyo branch, right?"

Li also looked away with dissatisfaction, no longer looking at her: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

During this year, the entire magical girl world was in dire straits. Magical girls died in battles in many places, but their Tokyo branch had not suffered any casualties so far.

This was largely due to the presence of Celian, also known as Hiiragi Ichika.

Although she had no intention or sign of joining Aegis, every time Tokyo was in trouble, she would step forward to provide support, which kept the battle situation in Tokyo optimistic.

With her presence, the Tokyo branch has an extra special super-class magical girl as a guarantee or even a trump card.

Moreover, Yihua not only saved her, but almost all the magical girls in the Tokyo branch were saved by her, so even the current commander Tamura Shizuka did not question her existence as a witch leader.

It was for this reason that Li took Yihua in and allowed her to live here.

She originally thought that this person was crazy and would help the witch organization regardless of their work. Perhaps he was stupid because the will of the evil god entered his body and did such a thing.

But now it seems that this is not the case, because from the action just now she can guess that the female imp who enjoys a reputation in the God's Staff definitely has an unusual relationship with Anten Meiko.

She now regretted leaving this guy at home.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about this." Li walked over to Anten Meizi and took her hand. "I thought you had traveled to another world. Tell me what you did in the year you disappeared."

"Sister Meiko, Nanako also wants to know...

Meiko Anten scratched her head, glanced at the house with a strange yet familiar feeling, then walked into the living room and sat at the dining table as if she were familiar with the place.

Soon, several cups filled with hot tea were placed in front of them. When she turned around, she saw that it was the tea handed to her by Yihua.

Although she seemed to have no professional ethics regarding her current identity as an exclusive maid, she was surprisingly skilled in doing her job.

"It seems like it's a pretty good feeling to have a maid." She said secretly in her heart, feeling secretly happy.

Calming down and sniffing the tea fragrance floating with the hot steam, An Teng Meizi blew gently on the hot tea. While waiting for the tea to cool down, she couldn't help but recall the pain she had suffered in the past year.

It seemed as if they were waiting for Meiko Anten's words, so not only Nanako and Rei, but even Ichika, who appeared to be a female kid, sat very obediently.

She took a sip of tea and then put the cup down, coming back to her senses from her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw three pairs of expectant eyes that seemed to be waiting for her, and she scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Actually, I don't have much to say about this year. I just became like a worker on an assembly line, repeating the same work every day until the end."

She didn't hide anything about this matter and told Asahina all about her experience, which even Asahina didn't know. As she said, it was indeed very boring.

Just as she was casually speaking, tears were already rising in the eyes of the three people.

Letting the pressure crush your body is like putting a person under a hydraulic press. That person cannot move and can only allow the unbearable force to crush his flesh, bones, and even cells into pieces inch by inch.

But I still have feelings and consciousness, so I can only endure the pain completely.

Although what Anten Meiko said seemed to be very understated, and they had not experienced it, it did not mean that they could not imagine this kind of pain that was simply unspeakable.

Who could have guessed that during the time that Anten Meiko disappeared from the world, she actually experienced pain worse than death.

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 100: Do you think you are still second?

Of course, although she confessed almost everything about herself, there was one thing she deliberately concealed, which was the fact that her repaired body had already shown signs of turning into a dragon.

It's not that she didn't trust them, but she felt very ashamed of having dragon horns and a tail on her body, so she kept it a secret.

What's more, there is a more important and special reason.

The Sky Flame Dragon Ball originally belonged to Vita, and it had stayed in Vita's body for countless years. Naturally, the record of Vita's body was difficult to erase.

The body she used as a template was recorded in the Sky Flame Dragon Ball. Because this was equivalent to recreating a body, when all the records were mobilized, her body records and Vita's body records were perfectly integrated together.

This resulted in her body also possessing the characteristics of Vita, so her dragon horns and dragon tail were exactly the same as the "Lustful" Sky Flame Dragon they knew at the beginning.

Li, who mistakenly thought Vita was her enemy, knew this best, so she had to hide this matter from Li.

"Okay, there's not much to say about me, and I've already learned everything that happened at the headquarters and the branch this year. So why don't you tell me why you and Nanako got up so early?"

"Nothing." Li's expression changed slightly when talking about this.

And Meiko Anten, who had been paying attention to her, did not miss this scene, and this subtle change made Meiko Anten recall the conversations she had with Ayaya and Meili when she first arrived in Tokyo.

Katerina's breakthrough made Li feel a sense of crisis, so she used this method to help herself cheer up from the disappearance of Anten Meiko, and another reason was to stimulate herself to complete the final breakthrough.

But obviously she failed.

With her strength, she should have been able to advance long ago, but because everything she was using was not her own, the advancement was impossible to complete.

Meiko Anten was very clear about this, but she couldn't say it clearly, nor could she point out some things. She could only wait for the right opportunity to mature.

Therefore, even if she noticed this matter, she could only turn a blind eye. At this moment, silence was the best way to deal with it.

"Ha~" I don't know how long it took until Guang came out of the bathroom yawning, then crossed the living room as if no one was there, went into the kitchen and started tinkering with something.

嗙

Seeing this, Yihua immediately slammed the table, turned around and walked straight into the kitchen, leaving only a few words lingering in the house and the frightened Anten Meiko and the other two.

"You idiot, you can't even cook a meal without making the pot explode. Don't touch anything in the kitchen!"

"Get down here! Do you really think you're still the second-in-command of this organization?"

Looking at the two people fighting in the kitchen, An Teng Meizi asked with some confusion: "Are they always like this?"

Li nodded, then shrugged helplessly.
