What a joke! Magical girls, just obediently get hypnotized!

genius!

Furthermore, according to information, there are more than just one villain or tool in the original work that can control magical girls, but the slave mark is set so that each person can only have one, and it is exclusive. The three-surname slave does not exist in this magical world, and the loyalty mark is unique.

You know what, this premise is both brilliant and pure...

Thinking about it this way, I realized that what I did wasn't enslavement, but rather setting up a magical barrier for this magical girl in advance!

She should thank me!

After mentally making amends for himself, Lynn smiled slightly and flirted with the still joyful magical girl before him:

"Alright, let's call it a day."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuwei's expression did not relax; instead, she tensed up again, leaning back slightly in a defensive stance. It seemed that the villain's unconventional actions had made her somewhat fearful.

Lynn smiled slightly:

"Don't be nervous. I really don't have any other intentions this time. Our matter isn't urgent. Besides, the two magical girls meeting must mean they have something important to do. I won't disturb you."

As he spoke, he gracefully stood up, straightened his wrinkle-free school uniform, walked straight to the door, opened it, and moved with fluid, natural movements, as if he were about to leave.

"You know the truth."

Watching the other person tactfully leave, and hearing Lin En's unexpectedly thoughtful and understanding words, Ling Yuwei pursed her lips, muttered to herself, and her tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Although she had signed an unbreakable non-aggression pact with Lynn, the girl was still very resistant to his talk of magical girl research.

If you can delay, then delay is the best option.

However, what she didn't know was that the instant Lynn turned his back to her, a knowing, knowing smile appeared on his handsome profile:

“You will come to me yourself, Magical Girl Irene.”

The faint whispers carried on the wind instantly alerted the young girl, but when she turned around, she saw that the villain had already greeted the girl waiting at the door and left happily.

"Was it just an illusion?"

The girl couldn't help but think to herself.

"See you later, Lynn!"

Just then, Daisy, the magical girl who had been waiting obediently at the door, also known as Su Zhikui, had finished saying goodbye to Lynn with a smile on her face. She turned around and, with her usual warm smile, walked into the infirmary like a cheerful little bird, gently closing the door behind her.

"Daisy, no, Su Zhikui, I have something I want to ask you."

Without bothering with pleasantries, as soon as the other person entered, Ling Yuwei (eagerly stood up) took the initiative to speak (her tone carried a hint of barely perceptible urgency).

"Ah, okay, Yuwei, go ahead and ask."

Startled by Ling Yuwei's serious attitude, the warm little sun paused briefly, but then a bright smile bloomed on her face.

"How did you and that... Lynn, meet?"

The girl said seriously.

Although Hypnotist Qing claimed that she did not have the ability to hypnotize Daisy, she still felt it was better to ask her first, just to be on the safe side.

If there are any suspicious points in the other person's account, such as illogical statements, unclear memories, or signs that Lynn has been implanted with some kind of hypnotic seed, it would be good for the more experienced magical girl to help uncover them and find a way to remove it.

Anyway, the agreement between him and Lynn was that the peace agreement would only be valid if he "did not do evil".

If he really did attack the daisy, then naturally, the peace agreement would cease to exist.

The pink-haired girl didn't think much of it. Faced with Ling Yuwei's accusation, she nodded and said:

"They're neighbors."

"Neighbors, what kind of neighbors?"

Ling Yuwei then pressed for an answer.

In fact, the girl's words and actions were somewhat impolite, but considering that it was for the other person's safety, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.

However, as the other party briefly recounted how they met Lynn in a simple, clear, and unhurried tone, from childhood playmates to neighborly affection and mutual care, Ling Yuwei's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, her tense shoulders slumped slightly, her suspicions about Lynn lessened somewhat, and she believed Lynn's words that he hadn't attacked Daisy. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the villain hadn't lied about this.

According to the other party's account, the two are not only neighbors, but have been neighbors for many years, and many people know about it.

In other words, if Lynn were to implant hypnotic memories into Daisy, it would inevitably be a large-scale, long-term implantation of memories, which would easily expose flaws. Therefore, the interaction between the two should indeed be real, not a false memory.

Moreover, the girl named Su Zhikui in front of me became a magical girl later than I did. No matter how powerful Hypnotist is, it's impossible for him to have predicted the birth of a magical girl years in advance and started making arrangements next to an ordinary girl, right?

If the monsters really had the ability to know the birthplace of magical girls in advance, then those magical girls would have been eliminated long ago, and wouldn't be alive now.

However, after Daisy briefly described the details of Lynn's interactions with the other party, such as eating together, tutoring each other, and helping each other when encountering difficulties, it seemed that their interactions were really just ordinary, everyday neighborly interactions, with nothing strange or suspicious about them.

I don't know why the other person had that strange expression when they mentioned daisies.

Strange guy.

[Erosion progress increased by 1%]

(Lynn: There was an unexpected bonus?)

"By the way, Su Zhikui, is there something you wanted to ask me out about?"

Ling Yuwei continued.

Most people would find it annoying to be bombarded with questions like this upon first meeting, but the girl in front of them was clearly not one of those people. In just a moment, the girl named Su Zhikui's expression changed from confusion to realization. She clapped her hands, and even the pink fluffy bun on her head swayed.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, I came to see Xiaowei about something very important!"

Xiao Wei?

Who is it? Myself?

"I... my name isn't Wei."

This sudden, affectionate address made Ling Yuwei, the young girl, feel a little uncomfortable. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but correct her.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can just call me Xiao Kui."

The pink-haired girl said with a smile, leaving Ling Yuwei completely helpless.

Suddenly I understand why that cunning hypnotist always showed a helpless expression when facing the other party...

However, I don't dislike it.

Let her be.

"So, what's it?"

she asked again.

"Yes, it's about sources of negative energy!"

Su Zhikui also suppressed her smile, took a step closer, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of seriousness. As her words fell, it was as if they carried a chill. Both the usually warm and gentle Xiao Kui and Ling Yuwei subconsciously exchanged glances, revealing slightly tense and wary expressions.

The magical girls and spirit beasts use natural energy generated by the natural workings of the world, while negative energy is undoubtedly the source of power for evil beings—this is a classic setting.

When it comes to sources of negative energy, Ling Yuwei's first reaction is:

"Are there new weirdos appearing?"

"Not really,"

Su Zhikui shook her head.

"I actually discovered that source of negative energy once when I was almost late and in a panic, I transformed into a magical girl and traveled through the air. Its fluctuations were... peculiar. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary office worker looking for a place to vent their stress, so I didn't pay much attention. But what's strange is that the source of negative energy is fixed in location, yet it stays in one place without moving... Moreover, Xiaoying said that its strength seems to be constantly increasing, like a snowball. If it were an ordinary monster, it wouldn't stay in one place indefinitely for hunting or destruction, right? So Xiaoying judged that something was amiss. She said she would go and keep an eye on it first, and that it would be better for me to come find you so we could investigate together."

Are you supposed to use magical girl powers to avoid being late and rushing around?

After listening to the other person's account, Ling Yuwei was unsure which to criticize first.

Xiao Ying was the name of the other party's spirit beast, which she knew.

The most common cause of negative energy is emotion. Since everyone has emotions, even magical girls can't do anything about it. Moreover, people have the ability to regulate themselves, and most negative energy will dissipate on its own.

And what Xiao Kui... no, what Su Zhi Kui said is indeed a bit concerning.

The idea that negative energy keeps growing on its own sounds very problematic.

As expected, the other party's choice was wise.

Telling all the magical girls directly would be making too much of a fuss, but going alone would be too dangerous.

The best choice is to go with someone who has more experience and lives nearby.

"I understand. Let's not delay, let's go take a look together now!"

The girl nodded.

"it is good!"

The energetic girl nodded vigorously, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she slapped her forehead:

"Oh, right, Xiaowei, there's something else I'd like to ask you, is that alright?"

"Don't call me Xiao Wei anymore, just ask."

Ling Yuwei, rummaging through her bag for the transformation crystal, spoke quickly without turning her head.

Are you and Lynn dating?

Su Zhikui blinked her big eyes, her expression a mixture of pure curiosity and a hint of barely perceptible nervousness, and suddenly spoke.

"???"

This sudden, explosive question was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, almost causing Ling Yuwei's hand to tremble and break the fragile colored pencil in her pencil case.

How did you figure that out?

"Is it because you two acted very close? You seemed to have a strange chemistry just now, and you're even classmates..."

Seemingly noticing Ling Yuwei's sudden stiffness and the oppressive aura emanating from her, and sensing Ling Yuwei's intense displeasure and shock, the pink-haired girl hurriedly waved her hands in a flustered manner, trying to explain in a somewhat clumsy manner.

"No! It's impossible!"

Ling Yuwei shouted loudly.

Adding to the teasing from her classmates today, this is the second time someone has questioned her relationship with Lynn.

That guy is a villain, a complete scoundrel. I only feel pure hatred for him, how could I possibly have even the slightest positive emotion towards him!

"Not only are we not in a romantic relationship, but we can never, ever, ever be in one!!"

She used all her strength, almost gritting her teeth, to declare, each word resounding with conviction.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry!"

Overwhelmed by Ling Yuwei's fierce reaction and powerful aura, Su Zhikui spoke loudly and somewhat fearfully, like a soldier being reprimanded by his superior, and lowered her head.

However, just as Ling Yuwei turned her head to continue searching for the magic crystal, she didn't notice that the girl, who had previously looked flustered, suddenly composed herself completely.

"Hey!"

She chuckled:

"In that case, that's wonderful!"

"Did you just say something?"

The subtle, indescribable aura that swept past behind her made Ling Yuwei instinctively shudder and turn around abruptly.

The girl's expression changed in a second:

"No, Xiaowei, Xiaokui didn't say anything."

The girl turned back and continued searching for the iridescent crystal flower.

For some reason, for a fleeting moment just now, she thought that the hypnotist had returned and was standing behind her again, which startled her.

But behind me, it was clearly Xiao Kui... no, it was Su Zhi Kui. It must be my imagination.

She thought silently.

...............

...............

A moment later, a streak of icy blue and a streak of warm pink light swept across the school, revealing the two magical girls who had completed their transformations.

At the school gate, Lynn raised her head and squinted at the two streaks of light in the sky:

"At this point in time, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the gears of fate have begun to turn. Today should be the day our heroines encounter 'that' for the first time, right?"

Then, his gaze precisely locked onto the icy blue trajectory, as if he could see through space to witness the other party's future predicament. He smiled slightly, with absolute confidence:

“Magical Girl Irene, I told you, you would come back to me on your own.”
