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

Therefore, we absolutely, absolutely must not let Xiao Kui act impulsively or rashly!!

Eileen's mind worked incredibly fast.

Got it!

She quickly said:

“Xiao Kui, think about it carefully. Lin En sacrificed himself to save everyone. If you cause more people to get hurt while trying to save him, he will definitely not be happy.”

"But living is more important! I'd rather he beg for (two) umbrellas, age, and mountain loathing me!"

The girl's words revealed an undeniable determination.

Is it possible to live for someone else even if it means letting them hate you?

It's almost like...

For some unknown reason, Eileen was momentarily lost in thought upon hearing those words.

But she quickly returned to normal.

"So calm down, actually I have a plan!"

Eileen quickly continued.

"Really? What's the solution?"

Daisy quickly asked.

Seeing this reaction, Eileen breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly added:

“My solution is that we shouldn’t give up on either the students or Lynn. But we’ve fought monsters that target soul extraction before. Those guys can only extract souls by taking the victims back to a device in the base, so Lynn is safe for the time being. Therefore, we need to prioritize and rescue the hostages from the combatants first. As for the monster leader, as long as we don’t give him a chance to escape, we’ll be fine!”

"what do you mean?"

Daisy seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right,"

Eileen nodded, a sharp glint in her eyes.

"The school has three evacuation points: the central playground, the flag-raising plaza near the front gate, and the activity center near the back gate. The playground, which is our grade's evacuation point, is now empty. This means we only need to assist two of the evacuation points."

After a while, we'll split up and simultaneously eliminate the combatants and rescue the hostages from the front and back doors. However, after completing the rescue mission, we won't reunite. Instead, we'll advance towards the core area of ​​the school. This way, we can protect our classmates as much as possible while disrupting the enemy's plans and limiting the escape route of that freak leader. He definitely can't know the school better than the two of us; he can't possibly escape with Lynn silently from both sides!

"it is good!"

Upon hearing the plan, Daisy didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

"Then, Eileen, let's get going now. I'll go through the front door!"

With that, she took the lead and headed towards the front gate of the school.

Watching her retreating figure, Eileen could finally breathe a sigh of relief and flew towards the back door.

Not far from the two, on a tree in the shadows, the spirit beast kingfisher stood on a branch, taking in their every move, and silently nodded in agreement.

Yes, she was always there. However, after much consideration, the kingfisher did not appear immediately as usual to offer advice to the two magical girls based on her rich experience. Instead, she chose to observe from the sidelines.

This was not because she was heartless or deliberately slacking off, but rather the result of her careful consideration.

A bird that doesn't bravely leave its nest will never learn to fly.

Magical girls can't always rely on spirit beasts; sooner or later, the spirit beasts will run out of steam.

For example, because of its conspicuous appearance, Eileen's ferret spirit beast is often unable to follow its owner.

Although she had some advantages over her partner due to her bird-like body, there were always times when she was powerless. Therefore, it was something she had to do in advance to train the two of them to solve problems independently.

Judging from what we just saw, their performance was acceptable even to the picky kingfisher.

Daisy, despite her initial lapses in composure and impulsive behavior, maintained her rationality throughout, and ultimately followed her companions' tactics, choosing the most correct approach.

At the same time, the kingfisher silently drew an "X" in its mind.

"It seems that this is not the trigger for her turning to the dark side."

Yes, she is still thinking about her role as a guide, and is looking for an opportunity to prevent Daisy from turning evil.

Just now, she almost thought it was it, but it was clearly not.

Daisy's iridescent magic stone remained shining throughout, showing no signs of turning evil.

Even after all this, she can still hold back from turning evil. Is Daisy really a chosen magical girl, and the problem is with me?

The kingfisher scratched its head with its wings.

As for Eileen, she's even more extraordinary.

A hint of approval flashed in the kingfisher's black bean-like eyes.

Originally, in the kingfisher's eyes, Eileen was just a brash and unruly girl.

Despite possessing the rare Ice-type magic attribute, she used it terribly, relying mainly on brute force in fights. She even accidentally discovered that she couldn't communicate with the magic stone. For her safety, Kingfisher acted as a stress monster, advising her not to become a magical girl if she couldn't handle it.

But to her surprise, not only did she learn how to use her real name overnight for some unknown reason, but her personality also seemed to have matured a lot.

Take the previous example; even if the kingfisher were to arrange it, it couldn't have been done any better.

When a close friend is in imminent danger, you are still able to withstand the pressure, comfort your teammates, and make the best arrangements. You must be experiencing unspeakable pain in your heart.

Your expression changes every time that man is mentioned; it must be very difficult for you to hold back.

Eileen, I take back what I said. You are now a qualified magical girl.

No, you could even say that you're no longer just a shield in the team, but have gradually become a true team protector, possessing what a "leader" should have.

However, this seemingly perfect battle plan was still slightly missing something.

The kingfisher gazed at the school building in the distance.

It's not that there's anything wrong with their tactics; they've done their best.

What they lack is a third teammate.

The two magical girls launching an attack and rescue from the front and back gates respectively is indeed a good tactic. However, if there were a third magical girl present, who happens to be experienced, strong, and possesses assassination or control abilities, she could open up the most dangerous but most efficient attack route and infiltrate directly into the location of the monster leader.

That way, we might be able to perfectly save that man without causing any further complications.

As she thought this, the image of Lynn's resolute back as he was taken away seemed to reappear in her mind's eye.

The kingfisher sighed.

No matter how far she goes, she still can't escape that man.

To be honest, Eileen and Daisy have been fighting together for almost a month without any changes, but it seems that after she and Lynn started hanging out together for some reason, she learned [True Name Release] in just a few days.

It's hard not to suspect that there might be some connection between them, and whether Eileen was influenced by him.

Lynn, are you really a flawless, perfect man?

The kingfisher couldn't help but think.

Normally, although he treats Xiao Kui very well and his performance is flawless according to the kingfisher's evaluation, he still lacks some excitement.

But as the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

At critical moments, they were able to stand up so decisively and bravely to block all dangers. It has to be said that even a spirit beast like the kingfisher, who is used to life and death and always assumes the worst about others, was moved.

If I weren't a bird, but a person, I might really... Oh dear, what am I thinking? Anyway, I should just keep up with Xiao Kui and Yu Wei.

The kingfisher fanned its suddenly hot cheeks with its wings, then flapped its wings and took off again.

And to be honest, it would be better if there wasn't a third magical girl.

Although the group of sisters looked very happy and their tactics were flawless.

But Kingfisher felt that if there were one more person, the three of them would start fighting over who should take responsibility for infiltrating to rescue Lynn...

However, what she didn't know was that Eileen, whom she praised for growing rapidly and even showing some leadership qualities, was actually burning out of her mind on the surface, being rational and patient.

If she could hear the kingfisher's question, "Why are you growing so fast?", she could answer it very quickly:

Because if you don't grow, you die!

Society is dead!

The girl felt that her mind had been working overtime.

Eileen is now finally experiencing what it means to have a bitter pill to swallow.

When I was a kid watching TV dramas, I always thought it was so childish of one of the main characters to keep a secret from the villain, even though it would be fine if he just told them, until he turned against his teammates. Now I really understand the pain of that.

It's only part of the pain.

Because in bad dramas, the main characters keep quiet about their romantic moments, but she genuinely can't bring herself to say it!

To be honest, if she could tell Daisy, who was clearly not in a good state, she would have already told her everything. At worst, she could have conspired with the other party to keep Lynn from finding out.

But she has now been tricked by Lynn into signing the "Wu-Wei Contract," making it impossible for her to reveal the secret.

Just by telling Daisy that Lynn was absolutely safe, Eileen felt a burning sensation coming from the tattoo on her abdomen. The burning sensation made her keep tightening her legs, and she also had a strange urge to urinate. It was an indescribable feeling, but it was a warning to her that there would be serious consequences if she spoke out.

If... if I were to say it here, my magical girl life would be over, right?

Just now, when she was confronting Daisy, the girl couldn't help but think in despair.

But Xiao Kui, you're right about one thing: one of those two guys hanging out together is definitely in danger, but it's not your brother Lynn...

Wait a minute, could it be that keeping Xiao Kui calm is also part of that guy's test?

Thinking about what would have happened if she had agreed to follow Daisy, ignored the tragic scene outside, and rushed in to "rescue" people, only to find two magical girls and two villains staring at each other blankly, Eileen felt a wave of dizziness.

She still remembered the "test" Lynn had given her, and the promise they had made to each other.

Getting zero on the "answer sheet" is already terrifying enough; if he also breaks their agreement and exposes his identity in front of Daisy, it would be even worse.

Given that guy's terrifying personality, it would be strange if he didn't punish himself severely.

Perhaps he'll use evil dark magic to extract the Shirikodama, which represents his consciousness, and play with it in front of him every day, or perhaps he'll simply hypnotize himself and throw him into a trap made up of tens of thousands of tentacles?

Just thinking about it made the girl excited... and she trembled with excitement.

Fortunately, in the end, they managed to get through it.

No, it's not over yet!

The magical girl instantly regained her fighting spirit.

Her scheme is one step away from completion!

Now, if I can get ahead of Daisy, deal with the combatants near the back door refuge, rescue the students, and find Lynn's location, I can alert him to Daisy's situation.

Moreover...moreover,

Thinking of this, a faint, indescribable blush crept across the girl's cheeks.

No matter how you look at it, I did help that guy this time, and I did a good job, right?

If I get to him first, will he... praise me?

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

At this moment, although the two magical girls were acting separately, their thoughts were surprisingly aligned.

At the school's front and back gates, amidst the astonished gazes of the humans and combatants, two magical girls appeared almost simultaneously in the sky. Without hesitation, they held their wands in front of them, closed their eyes slightly, and a powerful aura and natural energy rippled around them!

"For the sake of the duty of the Yi family, abandon the blame and go to the third group chat... Protect everything about Brother Lin!"

"To... to avoid being tortured and humiliated by that guy again, my self-esteem!!!"

"So...I absolutely, positively must get to Brother Lynn/that guy's side as soon as possible!!!"

"Holy crap, what's with that setup? Aren't all the magical girls in L City supposed to be newbies? Isn't this business trip supposed to be a breeze and you can just coast along and get triple pay and time off in lieu?!"

Experienced combatants immediately widened their eyes, but it was too late!

"True Name...Liberation!!" x2

Pink and ice-blue light illuminated the sky in an instant!

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

Meanwhile, as the two magical girls were burning themselves out, in the monitoring room, the very man the girls were so eager to save was smiling as he handed a specially made high-powered pistol, which he had somehow acquired, to the trembling clown-masked man opposite him. He then considerately steadied the man's shaking hands and raised the muzzle of the gun, pressing it against the center of his forehead.

"Come,"

Lynn gave a kind and harmless warm smile.
