"In that case, thank you for your compliment."

After saying this, she paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Also, I came here this time to make an unwelcome request. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

"An unkind request?"

Under Ji Hui's somewhat puzzled gaze, Ophelia nodded gently, and the white skirt armor in her magical girl state made a crisp and pleasant sound like a wind chime as she sat up slightly.

"From what Duncan said, it seems you're heading to District 1's headquarters in two days?"

"In that case, could you please let me come along? I have some business to attend to there as well."

Her words also made Ji Hui stunned.

"You can go together... Of course, but you don't need our consent for this kind of thing. After all, we're just following Duncan."

His question prompted Ophelia to calmly answer.

"After all, I'm joining the group sideways. As a traveling companion, it's necessary to explain in advance and obtain consent. It's etiquette."

"Also, Duncan suggested that I come to you in advance to discuss these matters, including staying at the Demon Eye House for two days before leaving, so we don't have to gather separately."

Duncan's advice...

Remembering his usual style, Ji Hui guessed what he was thinking after pondering for a few seconds.

He probably hoped to ease the rift between himself and Ophelia caused by the conflict before leaving, so as to avoid sudden joining in without prior announcement, which would cause him to have any resentment.

Although I didn't really care about what happened at that time, I have to admit that I felt a lot better after he made such arrangements.

As for staying overnight, I already have a bunch of monsters, ghosts, and magical girls here, so it won’t make any difference if I have one more.

So Ji Hui thought about it for a few seconds and quickly answered.

"Oh, sure, no problem. As for the room, just pick a spot you like. You can stay wherever you like as long as it's empty."

"But I still want to remind you in advance that there are quite a few demons living here. Even if you find that some demons seem to have done something bad, you can't just casually draw your knife like last time. Do you understand?"

Thinking of the other party's extremely high-profile style of behavior before, Ji Hui spoke up to remind him with some concern.

"They already have a bit of magical girl PTSD. If you do this before they're completely used to it, we can't let you live here."

His words also made Ophelia frown slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But after hesitating for a few seconds, she still didn't speak, but just nodded slightly.

"I understand. However, if things go beyond expectations and I judge that control is necessary, I will choose to take the initiative, even if it may cause you disgust and discomfort."

"Well... you should be able to rest assured. Unless the Broken Star Palace attacks directly, there will basically be no situation that requires your intervention to resolve."

The corners of Ji Hui's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but speak.

He also turned his head slightly and spoke to Chizuru Hazen, who was standing nearby because she was worried about the two of them being together in the reception room.

"Qianhe, please take her to register. By the way, do you have anything else... Oh, I almost forgot, you have a space ring."

Suddenly remembering that the other party already had a huge storage space, Ji Hui changed his words, causing Ophelia to nod as well.

"Well, don't worry about my personal belongings. I have everything I need. Just give me a place to rest."

Her golden eyes shifted slightly, looking around the reception room, as if observing the environment, and she opened her red lips again.

"Also, I want to see what this shelter, built in the name of neutral coexistence, looks like."

"Many years have passed, and I have to keep up with the times a little bit."

Chapter 341: Inquiry about the Bathhouse

"Phew, I can finally take a good bath."

Under the warm water flow, Chizuru Hazen couldn't help but stretch slightly, and with a comfortable hum, she let the part below her neck completely submerge in the water flow.

"That's right"

Yu Mingxue was like a soft snow mermaid, her sagging cheeks looked like pink buns under the heat, soft and elastic. Her body, soaked in the water, leaned against the bottom of the bathtub as if melting, letting the two floats carry her gently up.

The body that had been unable to get out of bed before was completely recovered after relying on dreaming, allowing the two of them to take a comfortable hot bath in the big bathtub.

"Thank you, Mi Lulu. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have made it past the third day."

Their words, which had become soft due to the bath, made Mi Lulu, who was bathing next to them, turn her head away awkwardly. She slightly lifted her pink hair that was tied up like a flower and spoke sheepishly.

"No...it's okay."

Since there was only about an hour left before the next water purification, she could come over and take a bath together at this time without worrying about her sweat affecting others.

Of course, she said so, but her actual purpose in asking them to come and take a bath together was to test the waters of Yu Ran Chizuru and Yu Mingxue.

"Come to think of it, Chizuru, you and Jihui are together, how did you decide?"

Milulu's question also aroused the curiosity of several magical girls who were also taking a bath around, and they all looked over.

"Oh, yes, yes, what was it like when you confessed your feelings, Ms. Chizuru?"

"I was still out there fighting the fallen demons when I suddenly found out about the three of you being together? Did you guys just confess your feelings normally?"

The jealous look that was directed at herself and Xiaoxue made a drop of sweat run down Yuran Chizuru's forehead.

"It's nothing, it's really nothing."

Yu Mingxue waved her hands desperately, causing the water to sway with the shaking of her arms.

"It's really nothing, just a normal confession!"

She was sneaking outside the door at 07:21, and was discovered because the door was accidentally opened. If she told others, her life would be completely over.

"Milulu, why are you asking this?"

The feeling of suddenly turning into a melon made Chizuru Yuzen complain softly, and Mi Lulu also looked sideways slightly.

"Nothing, I'm just curious. After all, I'm not a succubus. I want to use your kind of relationship, where three people are together, as a reference for the future."

"For example, how do you view the current situation? If there are other people in the future, will you reject or accept them?"

While several other magical girls were soaking in the pool and listening curiously, Chizuru Yuzen looked at Yu Mingxue awkwardly, and then she spoke slowly and hesitantly in front of their excited and curious eyes as if they were listening to a story.

"Actually, it's just like most people. We confessed to Ji Hui one after another. Because, as you know, Xiaoxue and I have feelings for Ji Hui, and Ji Hui is not completely indifferent to us. So after talking it out, it was natural for us to be together."

No matter whether they are boys or girls, they will never get tired of talking about the topic of love, so her words also brought about more excited inquiries from others.

"Hey, did you both confess your feelings at the same time? What did you say? And how did you accept each other?"

"Yeah, yeah, did you guys ever have a fight over who was the first wife? Like in movies and TV dramas, with Ji Hui stuck in the middle and begging you to stop fighting or something?"

"No, none of that. Because I was born a little later than Chizuru, so she must be the main wife. And because they all knew about me, they wanted me to join them in the end. I didn't refuse, so we got together like this."

Yu Mingxue explained a little flusteredly, but even though she helped Yu Ran Chizuru speak, it was difficult to resist their enthusiastic questions.

In that excited atmosphere, Mi Lulu's eyes also turned, and taking advantage of that atmosphere, she hid her words among the questions, appearing to be completely normal.

"So if there are other girls who want to join us in the future, will you agree? Or do you plan to act in unison and completely lock Ji Hui down?"

And as expected, Yuzen Chizuru and Yu Mingxue, who were completely surrounded by them, did not think much and just answered subconsciously.

"There's no such thing as a sure thing. It depends on the situation. But we did make an agreement with Ji Hui that if Xiaoxue and I don't agree, no new girls can be allowed in."

Chizuru Hazen's explanation immediately sparked a more heated discussion among them.

"In other words, if I want to be with Ji Hui, I need to establish a good relationship with you first?"

"That's not all. After all, there's a difference between being a close friend and having the same romantic partner. Well, it really depends on what happened, and also on the relationship between Ji Hui and the other person."

"Especially if Ji Hui takes the initiative to flirt with other girls when we're both here, that's definitely not okay. Not to mention joining in, we'll have to punish him severely."

Yu Ran Chizuru clenched her pink fists slightly and leaned against Yu Mingxue's shoulders, looking like they shared a common hatred for the enemy, which made Mi Lulu look a little thoughtful.

However, while she was thinking, the other magical girls whose interest was aroused did not stop and continued their topic.

But the content of their questions was not very important to Mi Lulu.

I see. I don't disagree, but it depends on the feelings.

Theoretically, I am already acquainted with the two girls, so there should be no problem in recognizing them.

The rest...seems to be the relationship with Ji Hui. I can't take the initiative to seduce Ji Hui, right?

Moreover, if Ji Hui was really seduced away by her, to be honest, she would feel a little disappointed.

After all, men who cheat on their partners after being seduced by other girls are also within her range, not to mention falling in love with them.

As she was thinking, she suddenly realized that the originally lively discussion had suddenly stopped. She couldn't help but raise her head slightly, but found that Chizuru Yuzen and the others were looking behind her, which made her turn her head in confusion.

And, the next moment, the figure that came into her sight made her slowly widen her eyes and look at Ophelia who walked in wearing a bath towel.

On her skin, which was finally revealed from the white skirt, hideous and terrifying scars were spread all over her body like a curse, leaving the only sound in the entire bathing area being the splashing water.

Chapter 342: Hideous Scars

Although it was partly due to their unfamiliarity with Ophelia, the main reason why the transfer group:ˉ柶》叭—耳缌三—凌耜羽染千鹤 and others were shocked was the extremely horrific scars on her body.

What kind of suffering did she go through to leave scorch marks on the girl's body, which should have been delicate and beautiful, as if she had been burned by the flames of hell?

Seeing that there were almost no parts of her body that had truly retained their original appearance, covered with wounds and burns that had turned into calluses, this thought came to everyone's mind.

Moreover, their silence seemed to have caught Ophelia's attention, causing her to stop walking on the anti-slip mat and look at the girls' astonished eyes.

"I'm sorry, I think I scared you. It's just that I haven't taken a shower in such a public place for a long time. I didn't pay attention for a moment. If I caused you any disgust, I apologize."

She spoke calmly, as if she had already gotten used to it, without any disturbance at all.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Mingxue was the first to react and spoke quickly.

"No, it's okay, just wash it here."

"We are just a little surprised, but we have no intention of being disgusted or resistant."

Seeing that everyone else nodded in agreement, Ophelia thought for a while, nodded slightly, slowly walked to the shower room, and began to rinse herself in the hot water.

However, although she herself did not care too much, the visual impact caused Chizuru Yuzen and others to not continue the previous topic. Instead, they looked at each other and saw the strong curiosity arising from the hesitation.

That's why, after a minute or two, one of the magical girls couldn't help but speak and tried to talk to Ophelia who was concentrating on washing her body.

"Excuse me, are the scars on your body from previous battles?"

Since Ophelia had been asking the magical girls about Ji Hui during this period, news about her had already spread among the magical girls in Yanming City, and many people knew about this visiting super powerful magical girl.

Coupled with the other party's intimidating-sounding name, they instinctively gave those scars a legendary color.

"Yes, it was left behind when we were fighting against the demons from outside the domain."

Hearing her question, Ophelia turned slightly, nodded gently, and answered the other party's question.

They found that the other party seemed unexpectedly easy to talk to, and the initial restraint caused by the sudden intervention of outsiders also subsided a lot, making them bolder and pouring out the curiosity in their hearts.

"So, are you really the original magical girl when the Holy Spirit Temple first descended? Has the Holy Spirit Temple changed between then and now?"

"Do those scars have any special meaning? They should be able to be completely repaired with GPA, right?"

After rinsing, Ophelia turned off the faucet and walked towards the bathtub while continuing to answer their questions.

"As for changes, there probably aren't any. I've basically been fighting the Shattered Star Palace and haven't had much time to care about these things. The Supreme Witches might be more familiar with them, but they rarely show up."

"As for why I didn't repair these scars, it's simply because I didn't want to waste my GPA on such superficial things."

As she slowly sank into the water, she gently rubbed her skin with her fingers as if to show that the scars that looked a little scary did not have any practical impact.

"Just relying on magic power and other medical magical girls can also heal injuries, so most of these are actually just marks left by temporarily holding on during the battle. The real hidden injuries have almost been healed."

"As for my face, it's because the people in charge of Dark Mace Garden felt that it was affecting my personal image too much, so they forced me to restore it to its original appearance. Otherwise, I would actually still have a few scars here and there."

Ophelia spoke, raising her fingers and gesturing on her face.

"Here, I was struck by an extraterritorial demon with corrosive powers, causing half of my face to completely smile. Before that, a section of it was accidentally cut off by a spatial crack. Another time, it was burned by the flames of a fallen demon, turning my entire face black. However, because the color was too different from the new part, it was also removed during the repair."

Although in front of them, Ophelia's face was completely free of any scars, making her beautiful face look like a well-irrigated flower under the adhesion of water droplets, but the thrilling lines drawn by her fingers and the heart-pounding horror experience she described made their expressions tinged with heavy colors.

Just by looking at the scars on her body, Chizuru Yuzen and others could roughly imagine that if it had not been repaired by others, this pretty face of what should have been a beautiful girl would probably be a scene that could be called hell on earth.

The heavy feeling that made their hearts feel a little depressed also made Yu Ran Chizuru and Yu Mingxue temporarily ignore the slight grudge that they had in their hearts.

However, their silence seemed to make Ophelia realize that her words were inappropriate, and she couldn't help but stop.

"Sorry, this topic might be a bit heavy. I didn't mean to show off these scars."

Chizuru Hazen also opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know how to answer, so she could only remain silent again.

However, her reaction made Ophelia mistakenly believe that she was still dissatisfied with the sword pointed at Ji Hui at that time. After hesitating for a while, she spoke again.
