Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"Ruby, come to think of it, you have a very special scent that makes me feel very comfortable."

Hearing this, Ando Meizi showed an embarrassed expression and quickly changed the subject: "Is that so? I, let's hurry to the meeting room."

"Um."

She had half of the words "It tastes like my mother's" unsaid, but she swallowed them back. She had no interest in saying any more and followed Ando Meiko into the meeting room.

The number of people attending this meeting was obviously not as many as the last time, and the three people who were more familiar to Ando Meiko, namely Rei, Rin, and Katharine, were not present.

Seeing Ando Meiko and the other person who came in last, Yuichi nodded to them and waited for them to take a seat before getting down to business.

"I'm sure you all know what happened yesterday. Although there's no direct evidence pointing to the Witch Organization in this Void Beast Tide incident, they're certainly involved."

Ando Meiko nodded slightly.

Although Celian did make some moves at that time, neither of them, including Li, felt anything was wrong at the time.

Ruby sensed a peculiar magical fluctuation, and they suspected that it was Celian's doing, but this did not directly prove that this magical fluctuation was released by Celian.

Volume 3: This is a Different World: Chapter 15: I Want to Become Stronger

She felt that if this incident had not been done by Celian, it would actually be the best outcome for her.

After all, if the witch organization really possesses the power of Jutsu Mio 镏丝镏氣紦II玐囷 that can attract such a large number of powerful lords, then it would be such bad news for the magical girls of Aegis.

"So this time, we dispatched professionals to the scene to conduct a detailed analysis of the Void Beast's movements and purpose. Now, let's switch to the scene."

"Hello everyone in the conference room, this is the on-site reporter Magical Girl Sanqing, and the professional Magical Girl Tianji has just returned from a reconnaissance mission." The scene changed, and what appeared on the screen was Katzelina's transformed appearance.

Seeing the two of them, Ando Meiko finally breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder they were nowhere to be seen. It turned out that they were sent out to investigate the scene of last night's battle.

"Based on the Void Beasts' initial movements, I've noticed they don't appear to have traveled long distances, so I can rule out the possibility that something in Tokyo is attracting them."

Then she took out a few photos from somewhere, took a quick look at them, and placed them in front of the screen.

What is shown in several photos is an observation picture of a huge black cave taken from different locations.

The light shining inside can only illuminate a few places. As can be seen from the overhead view in the photo, the middle of the cave gives people a feeling of being so deep that you can't see the bottom.

This scene made Meiko Ando inexplicably think of the dark space she was in during her coma. Recalling the feeling of collapse, her body trembled as she leaned towards Tia.

As if she felt Ando Meiko's movements, Tia not only did not think there was anything strange, she even reached out and grabbed Ando Meiko's hand.

Feeling the cool and smooth touch in her palm, the shadow in her heart faded a little.

"Thanks."

Hearing Ando Meiko's low voice, Tia nodded and smiled without saying anything more.

Although Meiko Ando didn't elaborate on it, she didn't behave very well on the night Tia infused her with magic.

Heart-wrenching cries and desperate murmurs came out of her mouth like talking in a dream, so even if Tia didn't know what she experienced in her dream, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

Her action reminded Tia of herself who had lost her sight and was buried in the ruins.

Darkness, pain, collapse, despair, all kinds of negative emotions washed over her mind, making her want to end the pain as soon as possible, with no thought of living at all.

She didn't mean anything special. Perhaps it was because they shared the same pain, or perhaps it was because they felt the same way, so Tia did this to Ando Meiko, whom she had just met for one day.

A feeling of security spread in her heart. Although she had experienced this feeling behind Li, for some reason it was never as strong as it was at this moment.

"There are signs of excavation here. I'm afraid those void beasts came out from here."

"No way? There is such a thing?" Katerina's words caused an uproar in the entire conference room.

They had never thought that these void beasts would actually come out from the ground. If this was true, then many of the disappeared void beasts had actually been secretly moving around in the land beneath their feet?

What shocking news this is.

According to this, they will have to be extremely careful when moving around in the void world in the future. After all, who knows if a bloody mouth will suddenly stretch out from under their feet and swallow them up in one gulp?

"Anyway, let's call this place the nest for now."

"That's all the progress we've made so far. We haven't yet figured out why the Void Beasts suddenly appeared in such large numbers, so let's leave it at that."

"Our reporter is reporting to you." Following Lin's somewhat funny voice, the screen in the conference room went black, and then the place fell into silence.

In fact, the investigation should have ended here because they did not have much energy to spare. This emergency situation was worthy of their attention, but the most important thing at the moment was not why they lived underground, nor why they crawled out from underground.

But it was the lust of the dragon-level void beast that was about to awaken.

"Ruby, Frate, Aigo, Tia, you should suspend your studies for the time being. It's best to stay here and use your time for training. At the same time, we must also prevent any special circumstances from occurring."

After all, this is a special time, so the people who were called had no objection to what Youyi said and quickly nodded in agreement.

The meeting ended in less than half an hour. The purpose of this meeting was at best for Yuichi to warn all the magical girls present to be careful of the void beasts hidden underground when fighting in the void world.

Before Tia stood up and was about to leave the meeting room, Meiko Anten gently grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Feeling that Meiko Anten seemed to have something to say to her, Tia stopped and sat back in her previous seat.

"What's wrong Ruby?"

"Um... although it's a little hard to say... but, Tia, could you please teach me how to cast a domain? I... I want to become stronger."

Although it was only a short moment, after witnessing Tia's battle, Anten Meiko had already imprinted that powerful figure in her mind.

In that memory image, she had already witnessed the horror of the Dragon-level Void Beast.

Although she now has the strength to fight against a king-level void beast alone, and can even kill a ghost-level void beast at the risk of her life, if she faces a dragon-level beast in this state, there is undoubtedly only one way, and that is death.

In order to prevent this from happening, and to protect her friends and her own life, she must make herself stronger.

Although he has been learning boxing and swordsmanship from Lin, it will take at least three to five years to achieve even a small degree of success in these things. They cannot be mastered overnight.

Therefore, if she wants to improve her strength and find the fastest shortcut to break through the current situation, the only thing she can think of is the field.

After all, the domain is the exclusive ability of the Shining Stone Magical Girls, which means that Meiko Andeng, who is also a Shining Stone Magical Girl, can also have the right to use the domain like Tia.

"Of course I can." After thinking for a moment, Dia didn't refuse. "Okay, I'll do my best to teach you, but whether you can learn it before the Dragon-level subjugation battle depends on your ability."

Volume 3: This is a Different World: Chapter 16: A Surprise for You

Tia would not refuse Anten Meiko's proposal, because the domain is not something to be kept private. It would definitely be a good thing for them if their strength became stronger.

And after learning about An Teng Meizi's impressive record of single-handedly killing a ghost-level void beast, and blocking five ghost-level, more than a dozen king-level, and countless general-level void beasts.

She also felt that Meiko Anten indeed possessed the strength to master the domain.

He even wanted to introduce this person to his mother, Kamijou Asahina, the founder and supreme commander of Aegis.

According to the information obtained from Yuichi, this magical girl named Meiko Anten, codenamed Ruby, has only been a magical girl for a month.

Although she doesn't know any boxing or sword techniques, she has her own unique fighting style and extremely high fighting talent.

If she is trained well, her future achievements will probably be so high that others cannot reach it, and it is not impossible for her to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest beings.

"You've just recovered today, so it's better for you to rest more. Let's go to the training ground tomorrow."

"Ah."

Tomorrow is Monday, but since Yuichi asked them to take a temporary break from school, Meiko Anten doesn't have to worry about going to school.

Tia's worries were obviously unnecessary, because when she woke up, she felt that her magic power had fully recovered, and her condition was even better than before the battle.

She clenched her fists and felt the level of magic power in her body. She found that the speed of her magic power was much faster than before.

The most obvious change is actually the increase in the total amount of magic power.

If her total magic power was "100" before, it has now become "230", more than doubled compared to before.

Although she almost died twice in that battle, she still managed to survive like Xiaoqiang, and the benefits she gained made her feel very happy.

In the past, I had to calculate the total amount of magic power cautiously and release magic selectively. Now that the total amount of magic power has more than doubled, I can release magic a little more unscrupulously.

She even thought that she could try the fifth level of charging of the continuous star arrow, and she might be able to succeed in her current state.

Of course, this is another story.

Although Yuichi said it would be best to live in the base, Meiko Anten really didn't want to stay here. After simply saying goodbye to Tia and Yuichi, she left the base.

Are you kidding me? Who would want to live anywhere else when you can live under the same roof with the person you love?

I took the tram back to my temporary residence, the Nakajima family.

She turned the doorknob and found it was not locked. She took a deep breath, opened the entrance door, and walked in: "I'm back!"

After hearing the sound she made, there seemed to be a ping-pong sound of metal colliding in the kitchen, and then two heads, one big and one small, appeared at the same time from the living room.

"Meizi, welcome back!"

"Sister Meizi, welcome back!"

They responded to Ando Meiko's words in unison.

However, there were a few vegetable leaves stuck on the heads of the two, one big and one small, and even their faces were covered with lumps of white paste, which made Ando Meiko couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Seeing her like this, the two of them looked at each other, saw the miserable marks on each other's faces and hair, and then they laughed one after another.

The three girls' sweet laughter was so clear and charming that the boys and girls passing by couldn't help but cast curious glances towards the Nakajima family.

After a long while, Ando Meizi finally teased, "What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight?"

"I... um..." Rei was a little embarrassed to speak when asked this question. She immediately picked up Nanako and held her in front of her like a blast shield. "Let Nanako tell you."

"Sister Meizi, it's like this. Sister Li knew you would definitely come back, so she wanted to make you a surprise lunch."

"Hey! Nanako, this isn't what we agreed on! Didn't we say you can't just say it?"

Nanako turned around, looking at Rei with her bright eyes, her face flushed slightly, and said, "But if Rei doesn't tell you, Meiko won't know either."

Being stared at by those pure eyes without a trace of impurity, Rei could only shake her head and gently put Nanako down: "I really lost to you."

It's not her fault. After all, there are really few people who can remain unmoved by Nanako's cute and pure gaze. Let alone Ando Meiko, even Ruby can't do it.

Touched by the two people's small actions, she quickly stepped forward and held Nanako and Rei in her arms, one on the left and one on the right.

It felt like there was hot liquid wriggling in the corners of her eyes, blurring her vision. "Thank you, thank you."

Wrapped in this sudden feeling of happiness, Li's delicate body and heart trembled slightly. She lowered her face, which was red all the way to her ears. She didn't dare to move, for fear that her actions would drive this happiness away.

After being rescued from that black space filled with despair and piecing together her shattered heart, Ando Meiko has decided not to escape anymore.

Even if she would lose everything in the future because of turning back into Ando Koichi, she would still hold on to the happiness that belongs to her.

She quietly lowered Nanako's head a little, then turned her head inconspicuously and lightly touched Rei's slightly burning face before letting them both go.

However, as she was put down, Li seemed to have lost her support and fell limply to the ground, her head emitting a faint heat as if it were an overloaded computer.

"Let me see what surprises you have prepared for me."

As soon as she stepped into the living room and turned to look at the kitchen, her expression became a little strange.

At first glance, she could see the peeled vegetable skins of various colors sticking unscrupulously to every corner of the kitchen, while the kitchen table was filled with a dazzling array of fresh ingredients that seemed prepared but seemed as if they had never been handled at all.

The spilled batter was stuck to the table, and there was even a small footprint on the ground left by someone stepping on the batter. It was obvious that this footprint was Nanako's masterpiece.

"What a surprise!"

"I...my sister used to take care of me...so, this is my first time cooking. I thought it should be no problem if I had a recipe..." Li said a little embarrassedly.

Smiling, Ando Meizi gently touched Rei's head, who was still sitting on the ground. "It's okay. I told you that since I've settled here, I'll take good care of you on behalf of your sister as rent."

Volume 3: This is a completely different world: Chapter 17: Still angry?

Judging from these ingredients and fried flour, the two of them seemed to want to make simple vegetable tempura.

When she stepped into the kitchen, she didn't clean up too much, but started to make something with their leftovers.

I put the oddly cut vegetables together in a bowl, diluted the frying pan, and then took out a box of chopped pork chops and breadcrumbs from the refrigerator.

After boiling a small pot of water, add the curry cake and vegetables, roll the pork chop in fried flour and then coat it with breadcrumbs, and finally throw it into the hot oil to fry.

These steps were not very difficult, so after Nanako and the others waited for only half an hour, a simple meal of vegetarian curry and fried pork cutlet was ready.

Looking at the steaming hot lunch in front of them, Rei and Nanako, who had already sat down, picked up their chopsticks and clasped their hands together: "I'm going to eat."

"Mmm! Delicious! Meizi's cooking is already half as delicious as Fuzi's."

Of course she knew about Fuzi's housekeeping skills. The reason why she could cook was basically because Fuzi taught her well, so she was quite happy to receive such an evaluation from Nanako.

"It's delicious. It's really delicious. You were able to make good use of the situation just now and prepare such a delicious dinner so quickly. Meizi, you will definitely be a good wife in the future."
