Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

After everyone fell asleep, Ayaya, who was next to Ando Meiko, trembled, and then imperceptibly changed to a side sleeping position facing Ando Meiko.

Her nose moved slightly, and she sniffed the faint girlish body fragrance coming from Ando Meiko.

"It smells so good." She was clearly a young girl, but for some reason, her voice sounded a little sad.

Volume 2: The Disappearing Daily Life: Chapter 23: Vitality Depletion State

Modern people are always different from those in previous times. Except for people like Katerina who developed a biological clock through training in childhood, the rest of them just sleep until they wake up naturally without an alarm clock.

Of course, there was no alarm clock in this deep forest, but at about eight o'clock, a scream suddenly sounded in the dense forest, waking up almost everyone in the training camp.

The shrill scream echoing in the dense forest had just reached the camp of Anten Meiko and the other six people, and Li was the first to jump up from the bed.

She turned to look at Katerina, who had stood up and was staring at the source of the sound. She frowned and asked calmly, "What happened?"

"I don't know." After hesitating for a moment, Katerina shook her head. "Go and have a look?"

"Do you have any sense of public morality? You're yelling here so early in the morning."

"This sound...did something happen?"

"Hmm...slept so comfortably."

Except for Ayaya, each of the five people who got up one after another had a line of dialogue in their sleepy mouths.

But when they noticed the seriousness on Li's face, they quickly came to their senses and shook their heads to clear the remaining sleepiness in their minds.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to someone?"

"Now that everyone is awake, let's go take a look."

After reaching an agreement, the six people put on their clothes and hurried towards the source of the sound.

When we arrived at the large student camp closest to the mountain school, there were already quite a few people surrounding it.

Looking across the gaps between the crowd, Anten Meiko could vaguely see that inside the circle was a girl lying on the ground.

[Master, there seems to be something wrong over there.]

Ruby's voice startled Anten Meiko, who then squeezed into the crowd and barely managed to get a position large enough to observe what was happening inside.

It was exactly the same as what she had just seen, a young girl was lying quietly on the ground with her eyes closed. Apart from the paleness on her face, there were no visible wounds on her body.

However, the strange smile on the girl's lips made An Teng Meizi feel a chill in her heart, and she even stood up with goosebumps unconsciously.

"His breathing is steady, and there are no obvious injuries on his body. He must have fainted from malnutrition."

"Students, please make way and don't block the road." The teacher in charge picked up the girl and trotted towards the mountain school the moment he finished the diagnosis.

"What? It turns out it's malnutrition."

"But think about it, if we only eat vegetables and no meat, even if we were given a bag of rice, it would only be enough to barely fill our stomachs. It's ridiculous that this school has a wilderness survival game with a score. I don't know what the old principal is thinking."

"That's right. My father has some authority in the political world. When I get back, I'm going to file a complaint against this school."

It happened that there was nothing to do early in the morning, so the students naturally started discussing the material, but not many people took it seriously and everyone was indifferent.

When everyone was thinking about going to the mountain school and preparing to wash up in the morning, only An Teng Meizi and the other six were still standing there.

"Well... let's go too, otherwise we'll have to wait in line for too long and won't be able to wash up."

"Okay." After agreeing, they also started moving behind Yuna.

But Li and Katerina looked at each other in a different way, and then they seemed to understand what the other wanted to say, and nodded at the same time as if to confirm.

[Master, that girl just now was not just suffering from ordinary malnutrition.]

Do you know what happened to her?

[Until, but not sure, if my guess is correct...]

On the way back to school, Meiko Anten did not discuss the girl's problem with Yuna and Rei, but walked quietly at the back, listening to Ruby's explanation in her mind.

After transforming into an etheric body, the magical girl's dantian will form a space for storing magic power. After the magic power inside is consumed, the etheric body will instinctively absorb the weak magic power from the outside world, and fill it into that space after filtering.

However, if the magic power stored in it is completely exhausted, if you want to fight or cast any magic, you have to draw the original ether from the etheric body and convert it into usable magic power.

The way of burning the original ether to fight is actually the way of using HP as MP.

Therefore, the original ether is equivalent to the life of the magical girl in a sense.

Although ordinary people do not have ether or magic in their bodies, they still have life, and just like magical girls burning the original ether, there are indeed means in this world to transform human life into magic.

Therefore, the so-called malnutrition of this girl is not ordinary malnutrition at all, but a state of loss of vitality caused by the absorption of magic power.

[Luckily, the girl didn't absorb much magic power. After a short rest and some food, she'll be able to replenish her lost vitality in time.]

After Ruby said this, Meiko Anten also realized that this was indeed a blessing in disguise.

If the mysterious man hiding in the dark had sucked a little harder, the girl would have had to stay in bed for several months at best, or her life would have been shortened or she might even have died on the spot.

Unlike other students who didn't take it seriously, Meiko Anten, who was caught in the quagmire, felt her heart skip a beat and became alert.

"Meizi, you really discovered it too?" Noticing the sudden change in Anten Meizi's aura, Katzelina leaned closer and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

She nodded slightly, but she didn't notice any signs of magic being used around her.

Besides, even if they noticed it, it would probably be of no use. After all, there are a total of ten classes of students entering this mountain school for collective training.

Before the mysterious man was exposed, trying to find someone with this ability among hundreds of people was undoubtedly like fishing in a haystack.

"Don't be too nervous, relax a little. Otherwise, if we don't find the person, she might become aware of our presence and become alert."

"I understand." After responding, Meiko Anten raised her chin with a hint of something.

She wouldn't say too much about words like "be careful". After all, Katharine was much stronger than her. Instead of asking her to be careful, Meiko Anten herself was the one who should pay the most attention.

I thought it was just a very ordinary wilderness survival, but I didn't expect something like this to happen.

It seems that these five days of training camp will become quite long.

Volume 2: The Disappearing Daily Life: Chapter 24: Searching for Clues

Ordinary students naturally didn't feel anything about this matter, and they continued to spend the somewhat boring training time chatting and laughing.

In contrast, Ando Meiko and others who returned to the camp seemed much more depressed.

After Katerina secretly told her something, she went to the jungle alone to look for clues related to what happened that night.

It was obvious that she had a great interest in things that she could not control.

Although Chihaya Yuna was still carefree and wanted to find some topic to kill time, Ando Meiko and Nakajima Rei, who were always on guard, were not in that mood.

Among the four, the only remaining Hyakki Ayaya naturally does not exist in the chat list, so Yuna has no choice but to tease Asakusa Megumi who is sitting nervously beside her.

Meiko Ando reached out, pulled off a leaf and put it in her mouth, her big eyes constantly scanning in all directions of the dense forest. Anyone could see the unconcealable nervousness in her.

"What's wrong, Meizi? Are you still worried about what happened this morning? It's okay. That classmate is just a little malnourished. We have meat and vegetables here, so I don't think it's our turn."

Grinning a somewhat forced smile, Ando Meiko nodded at Yuna: "That's true."

[Perhaps Master could try entering the void world to search, perhaps he could find some clues.]

Hearing Ruby's words echoing in her mind, Ando Meiko almost forgot about it.

If the perpetrator is also a magical girl or a witch, in order to not leave any traces and not be discovered by everyone, she can only escape into the void world after absorbing the magic power.

If I have the chance, I will give it a try.

After thinking about it, Ando Meiko asked in her mind.

【However, is it possible that the person has already escaped? 】

[It's very possible. Judging from the girl's condition, that person clearly didn't intend to kill her. Based on this premise, the amount of magic power it absorbed was also negligible.]

[So, that person will come back and continue to absorb magic power? ]

[That's right, and absorbing a small amount of magic power won't have a significant impact on humans, but it will inevitably lower the body's resistance, causing various diseases.]

[If that’s the case, then I can’t let him get his wish.]

If this kind of thing continues in the next few days, it will probably cause a sensation in the school and even the entire city, which will have a significant impact on Ando Meiko's daily life.

For the sake of her peaceful daily life, she decided not to be blindly on guard, but to take the initiative to look for clues left by the perpetrator.

Thinking of this, Meiko Ando jumped down from the rock she was sitting on and walked towards the student camp.

"Meizi, where are you going?"

"I'm going to take a walk around the area and see if I can pick up some vegetables or some firewood."

"Eh? How about I go with you?"

"Forget it. If you go along, Hui Ke will be really bored to death."

"That's right, for Kei's sake, I'll stay." After saying that, she didn't stop him and watched Ando Meiko leave with Rei and Kei.

Li watched her figure slowly disappear into the dense forest and sighed slowly.

She knew what Ando Meiko wanted to do. Although she also wanted to go with her, not to mention that Yuna, Hui, and Ayaya were three ordinary people who still needed her protection.

Her true identity was not discovered by Ando Meiko. If she revealed her identity, it would probably arouse the latter's disgust or even hatred.

From the first time I met Ando Meiko, I had a vague feeling that she was expressing her love to me all the time, and I even had a subconscious feeling that she had confessed her love to me clumsily but affectionately several times.

She was attracted by this ethereal feeling. After casting a charm spell on the demon Maruko, she attracted Ando Meiko to touch Maruko's body and learned that she was a magical girl...

She fell in love with Meiko Anten.

If that magic mark could be planted perfectly, then it would be me, not the witch Tianji, who would always be by her side.

Not only did he sneak up on her when she was doing something big, he also shamelessly transferred into Ando Meiko's class, sat next to her, and helped her train her physical fitness.

She should have enjoyed everything.

Therefore, she not only felt resentment towards Katerina for attacking her, but also anger for interrupting her ritual and jealousy for stealing her love.

But now, the witch Iris has also come over. No matter how unhappy she is with Katerina, she can't be too hostile to her in this situation.

Otherwise, if Katharine was added to the mix when it was already difficult to deal with Iris, she would be arrested without any chance to resist.

This is something she absolutely cannot accept.

As Katerina's former colleague, Li knows her very well. As long as she is not attacked casually, she will only act according to her own interests.

Therefore, the most urgent task should be to focus on Iris, find a way to send Iris back, or directly beat this witch until she cannot move.

However, considering her current strength, this possibility is too low.

"Alas." Thinking of this, Li couldn't help but let out another long sigh. The complex emotions contained in it attracted Yuna and Hui to look at her curiously.

"This is it." Walking to the place where the girl fell, Ando Meiko carefully observed the surroundings.

This location is one of the few empty spaces surrounded by seven or eight tents ten meters away.

If someone passed by here, they should have been noticed immediately, not to mention dragging the girl out of the tent.

From the signs of the surrounding grass being trampled, it can be seen that the girl walked here alone. Perhaps she wanted to go to the toilet at night and got into trouble.

Apart from this, there are no other traces or clues around. It seems as if the girl walked here alone and suddenly collapsed due to physical discomfort. It is incredible.

"Ruby, can you sense any magical fluctuations around you? Even the faintest ones are fine."

【I will try it now, Master, please wait a moment.】

There was a moment of silence before Ruby's voice rang out again from within her heart.

+Jiu Lingliu slipped up and said, "Master, there is no residual magic fluctuation around here."

After investigating the surrounding tents, Ando Meiko walked around several times before shaking her head and muttering to herself, "Wandering around here isn't going to cut it. I guess I need to enter the Void World and investigate."

Volume 2: The Disappearing Daily Life: Chapter 25: Red Light Band

[Master, don't worry too much. If that mysterious person covers up all traces, it will be difficult for us to find him.]

【you mean? 】

Let's wait a little longer. If the mysterious person still refuses to give up and continues to absorb the magic power of ordinary people, we can head directly to the Void World and take action.

With a slight nod, Meiko Anten stopped searching.

She also thought that Ruby's proposal was feasible. Compared to searching around like a headless fly, which would only alert the enemy, in this situation where the enemy is hidden and we are in the light, the best way is undoubtedly to sit back and wait.
