Why are the magical girls in your area male?

It was her most secret and sweetest expectation for the future.

"Aqing..."

She murmured softly, her fingers unconsciously picking at the fabric on the pillow.

"When the house is renovated, when we... have all grown up."

"I will, I will..."

She didn't dare say what came next, but her cheeks flushed even more.

She seemed to already see a vision of the future: she took Yuanqing's hand, led him to the front of this house, and proudly announced—

"Look! You bastard! This is the empire I've built for you! From now on, you'll live here and be my bandit queen!"

Then, Yuan Qing will definitely look disgusted and say, "So small? It's not even as big as my bathroom!" or "Who wants to live with you! What about my sister?"

Thinking of his smug look, Danzhu couldn't help but burst out laughing while hugging her pillow.

She rolled over and lay on her back on the sofa, staring at the exposed steel bars and pipes on the ceiling.

But Yuan Qing's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Here, here, I'll give you everything!

Here's my savings certificate, my dowry, and my hard-earned money!

Everything I have is for you...

She sat up, hugged her knees, and looked out the window at the gradually darkening night sky and the dazzling city lights.

The smile gradually faded, and a faint worry appeared on her face.

“But, Ah Qing.”

"Now, you are also an Awakened One, and you've even joined the Tarot Association..."

"Won't we encounter many more dangers in the future?"

"I......"

She gripped the pillow tightly, her eyes hardening.

"I swear, I will become stronger so that I can protect you."

"And also, protect our home..."

P.S.: Honey, I'm just popping in a friend's post about a fanfic featuring anime/manga. If you're interested, you can check it out (please don't criticize me for having a harem/manga-centric male lead, it's a friend's request QAQ):

Book Title: I, the Witch Queen, Am Not Just Stubborn

Synopsis: [Orange, dominant male lead, multiple female leads, but the female leads are not necessarily human]

This book is also known as: My Five Yandere Girlfriends, They Really Wanted to Kill Me, and I Killed Them All.

Witches are evil beings lurking in human history; they enslave humanity, and their crimes are countless.

Perhaps?

Lovenia looked at the ancient witches and crowned figures who only existed in myths, leaning against her.

Dream Weaver: Lovenia, your hands are so soft.

King of the Wild Hunt: Lovenia, your legs are so white.

Lord of Pleasure: Lovinia, you smell so good. What shampoo are you using?

Lovenia sighed deeply.

—From what we can see right now, they seem to only want to enslave themselves.

Haha, so that's how they were in your history? They're completely different in mine. If you're brave enough, click to take a look.

Volume 1: Chapter 71 The Tarot Association (Bonus Chapter 1)

The next day, late at night.

Yuan Qing changed into some casual clothes that were easy to move in, stood in front of the mirror, and tidied himself up.

Yuan Xun leaned against the wall, looking at him with disdain, and said, "Hey you, you've been getting ready for over half an hour. You're going to the association to report for duty, not to go on a blind date. Is it really necessary?"

"It's not a blind date, but it's even better than a blind date, sis."

Yuan Qing answered confidently, "Your brother is about to appear in a place full of girls. Although those guys may not necessarily be girls, it is still necessary to try to improve my image."

In the workplace, first impressions are extremely important; this is called workplace etiquette, you know?

"Heh, with your flamboyant appearance, it's a miracle the president hasn't kicked you out."

"Is it too extravagant? I think it's too plain! If I had the materials, I would have used hair gel at least. Sigh, I should have asked Yuko-nee to do my styling."

"......Fool!"

Yuan Xun rolled his eyes in annoyance and gave one last piece of advice: "Brother, remember what I said. When you get to the association, be sure to be polite."

We, a few acquaintances, are fine with it, but the rest of the association are very opposed to recruiting you.

Also, for safety reasons, all magical girls who enter the association are forced into a transformed state, so you will see a large group of beautiful girls.

Don't do anything embarrassing! Like staring at people or something...

She pouted, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of jealousy.

While combing her hair, Yuan Qing asked, "I don't understand this. Logically speaking, having an identity card is enough to join the association, so why is it mandatory to maintain the magical girl transformation state?"

"Hmm... double insurance, and recognizing people is always faster than verification."

"So, I can really experience what it's like for Tang Sanzang and his disciples to enter the Women's Kingdom?"

Yuan Qing's eyes lit up.

Seeing his excited expression, the latter couldn't help but give him a light kick from behind:

"Take it easy, you idiot! If you lose your temper, it'll be embarrassing for me, and for the student council too!"

"Don't worry, I promise I won't drool!"

"Get out of here!"

Yuan Xun rolled her eyes in disdain.

How did I end up with such an idiot brother?

"Drip drip."

The alarm clock rang on time.

Yuan Xun glanced at the time; it was already 23:30 PM.

Just as she was about to urge them, she suddenly heard the sound of a car rolling across the road outside the window.

The two walked to the window and saw a Maybach, all black and exuding an air of understated luxury, parked steadily by the roadside under the dim streetlights.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Shiori Shiomi's expressionless face.

"The president is here, bro, hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, damn, it's the same model as the general's! Did you used to ride in a car like this?"

"What, is it not allowed?"

"Your brother works so hard squeezing onto the subway every day, and you, little girl, ride in a Maybach every day. That's not fair!"

"Is it my fault? How can I just casually tell you about the moon etching? Alright, alright, let's go!"

Yuan Xun walked behind Yuan Qing and pushed him away from home.

The two approached the car, and the heavy electric door slowly opened, releasing a faint, cool fragrance mixed with the scent of genuine leather.

The interior of the car is quite spacious, and the ambient lighting emits a faint blue glow.

Shiori Shiomi sat on the right side of the back row, her petite body sunk into the large seat, her expression as indifferent as ever, like a finely crafted doll.

She tapped her phone repeatedly, as if replying to someone's message, without looking up, and uttered a single word, "Sit," in a cool, aloof voice.

Yuan Qing sat down opposite her, grinning foolishly with his big teeth showing: "Oh ho ho, President!"

"..."

"This car is so spacious, and the seats are so soft! I'm just a country bumpkin who's never seen anything like it. Thank you, Chairman, for letting me experience the travel life of the upper class!"

"..."

Sitting next to him, Yuan Xun blushed, covered her forehead, and pinched his waist hard.

After replying to the message, Shiori Shiomi looked up and glanced at him with cold eyes: "Genichi."

"here I am."

"When we get to the association, be sure to behave appropriately."

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't understand manners?"

"Yes."

"..."

Yuan Qing was a little hurt.

Yuan Xun, standing beside him, glared at him coldly and muttered under her breath, "Serves you right!"

......

As the car drove away from the bustling city center, the road gradually became wider and quieter, with neatly trimmed green belts and dense forests on both sides.

As Yuan Qing watched the city lights recede into the distance outside the window, the neon lights casting long streaks of light across the car window, he felt a strange mix of anticipation and nervousness.

Finally, the car drove into a secluded and quiet private driveway, passed through an ancient and heavy wrought iron gate, and stopped in front of a brightly lit, sprawling classical manor.

"Here, get out of the car."

The electric car door slowly opened, and Shiori Shiomi got off first, followed closely by Gen Ao.

He leaned against the car door and looked around.

The main building of the manor is a magnificent Baroque-style building, with off-white stone walls covered with intricate reliefs and scrollwork, and huge arched windows that are exquisite.

The fountain sparkled incessantly in the night, its surface shimmering with golden light, while the meticulously manicured garden exuded a rich, fragrant aroma.

Yuan Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful manor! Is this your home?"

“Yes.” Shiori Shiomi nodded slightly. “One of the properties owned by the Shiomi family.”

"Could this be the Tarot Association? Didn't you say the association was within the Moon Etching, but didn't actually exist?"

"Don't say anything more, just wait."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing seemed to understand something and obediently shut his mouth.

5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds until midnight...

"clang--!"

An ancient and resonant chime, as if traveling through time, suddenly rang out from the depths of their souls.

Immediately afterwards, that familiar, eerie moon appeared out of nowhere, hanging high in the sky.

An invisible ripple in space, originating from the moon, suddenly spread out in all directions!

Wherever the ripples passed, reality resembled a chalk drawing that had been erased!

Main building, fountain, and gardens...

All the "real" scenes in the entire manor faded, diluted, and disappeared rapidly in the ripples!

Immediately afterwards——

"Boom!"
