Is it only magical girls?

Hmm? That's a bit strange.

Hearing An Lian's voice echo in his mind, Yuan Xing asked, "What's wrong?"

"[No one has used teleportation magic to leave directly. Don't you find that strange?]" Anlian's voice came through: "Among the magical girls of the past, shouldn't quite a few have chosen to use teleportation magic to leave? But I haven't detected a single fluctuation of magic power, which is obviously abnormal."

You're overthinking it. Maybe someone suggested a get-together, so everyone walked away from MomoMo together.

On the surface, Yuanxing seemed completely indifferent to this issue, but deep down, she kept feeling that powerful magic she had sensed from Hongshi. That magic only appeared for a moment before the Demon Generation was disbanded. Perhaps there was some connection between them.

But when they saw lunch, Farstar forgot everything else, because the lunch was so lavish, with almost all the dishes being the favorites of the Farstar team members.

Yuanxing asked, "Is this too luxurious?"

“No problem,” Hong Shi said. “After all, participating in the Demon Congress is quite tough, so this level of cooking is only natural. Besides, it’s not a big deal, is it? Isn’t this the kind of treatment we always get after a regular battle?”

Yuanxing said, "That's true, but back then it was all together, and now it's just a few of us, so it feels especially luxurious."

"Anyway, it was all made by the elven maids, so there's no need to feel that it's extravagant."

Yuan Xiaoxing thought about it and agreed, so she stopped sighing and started eating like crazy, focusing all her attention on lunch. After lunch, it was time for snacks, a perfect time to leisurely enjoy coffee and snacks while chatting happily.

"Master, may I stay the night?" (Seven) (Sigh)

"what ever."

The Crimson World actually wanted to refuse, but considering that all of humanity was now part of the Crimson World, whether or not they refused the distant stars became less important. What was the difference between living in a building separated by a corridor and living in a demonic realm separated by a corridor? At least from the Crimson World's perspective, there was no difference.

Yuanxing tilted her head to look at Hongshi. She felt that this answer did not match her expectations. Her master had always refused her permission to stay at Momomo, and had never allowed her to stay at Momomo for two consecutive days before. Yuanxing knew very well why Hongshi refused her. Staying at Momomo for one day was no problem, but staying at Momomo for consecutive days would become a permanent occurrence, and she would end up staying at Momomo every day.

And now her master agreed without any hesitation?

Yuanxing exclaimed, "Whoa! Master has changed his ways today! He never used to let me stay at the Demon Demon Demon for two consecutive nights!"

"It's fine if you stay at MoMoMo every day from now on. After all, you're the commander-in-chief now. It's only natural for the commander-in-chief of MoMoMo to live in MoMoMo."

"My dearest master!"

Yuanxing lunged at Hongshi, but Hongshi firmly refused, because Yuanxing's lips were red and white in patches—the red from tomato juice and the white from cheese milk. It would be terrible if she were allowed to kiss her.

Hongshi continued, "You guys can stay at MomoMomo tonight too, since you still have homework to do tomorrow, right?"

Qianchan nodded.

All members of Red World Hope Starlight Co., Ltd. have recently been living in Demon Demon Demon. The later they come into contact with the outside world, the less they will notice the changes in the world. As time goes by, she will completely take control of the world. The deeper her control over the world, the lower the possibility of being exposed.

Just then, Qingyin's phone suddenly rang.

To answer the phone, Aon hurriedly left her seat. As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard Nami's voice: "Did something happen at the Magic Festival?"

"Why do you ask?"

My mom just messaged me saying she's going on a mission and won't be back for about a week. She never tells me what she's doing, so I'm wondering if something happened at the Magic Congress. Did you say anything to her?

“No,” Qingyin denied, “She didn’t even talk to me, and Danmu left MomoMo without saying a word to me either. I found it quite strange, like something happened without my knowledge…”

"Nothing's wrong."

Suddenly, Hongshi's voice rang in Qingyin's ears, and as the voice rang, the information Qingyin had just obtained was deleted from her memory.

【Qingyin? 】

While Nami was struggling with her mother's notification of her schedule, she suddenly felt that some parts of her memory had disappeared. She looked at the call history on her phone in confusion. What was the reason she called Aon again? It should have been a date invitation, right? After all, there couldn't possibly be anything else besides a date invitation.

"call···"

The exercise was not easy. Hong Shi sighed, "Fortunately, I am more skilled and can remember and modify."

Chapter 332 A Few People for Me

After lunch, around the afternoon, the Farstar team began a great undertaking: doing their homework. The mere mention of homework turned the usually energetic Farstar team into a listless bunch, their pitiful appearance causing Red World to feel down as well.

"Actually, homework is fine as long as it's good enough, since the teacher won't look at it anyway."

The teacher really won't check it, because I'm the teacher now, and I would never check homework.

Hong Shi was absolutely confident about this, but unfortunately she couldn't say such things to Yuan Xing, nor to Qian Chan and the others.

"Okay, okay, Sister Hongshi, don't spoil me like this." Yuanxing hugged Hongshi's arm and rubbed against her a few times: "I've already finished one-third of my homework. If I stop now, it'll be like giving up halfway. Either don't start, or if you start, you have to work hard to finish it, otherwise it will be painful."

Hongshi really wanted to tell Yuanxing that it wasn't too late to give up, but considering her friends' attitudes, she decided against it. Hongshi began to study the memories of individual characters to ensure that she wouldn't be discovered when impersonating them; she didn't want to experience Nami's situation a second time.

Hongshi didn't have many people to study carefully, since she only needed to ensure that Yuanxing's close friends didn't discover any problems. Hongshi didn't replace Yuanxing's friends, because her goal was to protect Yuanxing, and Yuanxing's friends wouldn't harm her, so there was no need for her to replace them.

Next is resolving the problems from distant planets, such as eradicating monsters on Earth. After the apocalypse, there were ten thousand magical girls, but these alone were insufficient to clear out monsters and reclaim Earth. However, things are different now. There are not just tens of thousands of magical girls, but millions of Crimson Worlds, capable of completely wiping out all monsters from Earth.

But what's the best way to efficiently eliminate monsters on Earth? The existing monsters are hiding in all sorts of places, and searching for them would take a lot of time, even if there were millions of them. The best method would be to instantly annihilate them.

For example...

A massive flood?

By imbuing the ocean with magic and then letting it submerge the land, most of the monsters on land can be wiped out in one fell swoop. Even if a few remain, they shouldn't be a problem.

While Hongshi was pondering, Yuanxing was doing his homework. In addition, the Demon Society was closed today, which led to the entire Demon Society entering a quiet state.

It is precisely because of this quietness that any loud noises are extremely jarring.

The loud noise was caused by Tao Ying, who practically burst through the door in a panic: "Something terrible has happened! Something extremely urgent has occurred!"

Yuanxing said, "Sister Taoying, don't rush, let's talk slowly."

Tao Ying sat down, panting heavily. After drinking several glasses of water, she finally calmed down. "At first, I was at home, and then I saw my mother when I went out. As I mentioned before, my mother, being an alchemist, wants me to focus my energy on alchemy and doesn't support me pursuing a magical girl career. So our relationship has always been strained. Whenever I go out, she tacitly agrees that I'm doing magical girl stuff, so she always gives me a cold shoulder. But today, she was all smiles and said 'Have a safe trip!' Isn't that strange? My mother, who is so opposed to me pursuing a magical girl career, suddenly changed her expression!"

Yuanxing said, "Is it because my sister's mother received new information? Your sister has successfully become the commander-in-chief today, which is why she has changed her attitude this way."

Tao Ying shook her head noncommittally: "I think it's impossible, because I've never told her about you."

Yuanxing continued to speculate: "So that's about Aunt Yuehuai? Aunt Yuehuai, the alchemists' idol, has reconciled with her master, so the alchemists' resentment towards magical girls has dissipated."

"Alchemists may not like magical girls, but they don't oppose them as strongly as my family does. My mother is an exception among alchemists; her aversion to magical girls far exceeds that of others."

"That means she ultimately couldn't resist you and chose to surrender."

“That’s not how it is,” Tao Ying said, only then realizing her mistake. “Oh dear, Yuanxing, you always interrupt. You’ve led me astray, making me always concerned about my mother. Please don’t speak yet, let me finish what I’m saying quietly.”

"puff."

Tao Ying realized her slip of the tongue and laughed out loud, but she quickly composed herself: "At first I didn't pay attention, but when I left home I noticed that the gardener was acting strangely. She usually slacks off, but today she wasn't slacking off and was diligently mowing the lawn. Of course, if that was all, I would be overthinking it, but when I went to the guardhouse, I found that she was actually on guard duty! Can you imagine that the guard wasn't slacking off but actually on guard duty?"

Yuanxing said, "I really can't imagine it, because my house doesn't have a doorman."

Qianchan nudged Yuanxing and whispered in her ear, "Have you ever seen a security guard working in a residential community? Can you imagine her protecting the community?"

Yuanxing understood: "She should be the highest priority for protection."

Tao Ying continued, "Then I felt something was off, so I sneaked back to my house and found that the maids weren't chatting but working diligently. This made me pay attention. After leaving home, I decided to come to the Demon Demon Demon. I also observed the pedestrians on the street. The pedestrians were all orderly. There was no lane changing or cutting in, and no more than three people walking side by side on the sidewalk. Everything was so harmonious, just like our school. There was no life at all, not like the world of living people."

Yuanxing finally understood: "That was indeed a major event. Was it some kind of witch's attack?"

So annoying! Why are there so many people in your family?! What's the point of having such good observation skills? Can't you at least try to get along better with your mother?!

Rewind time! Rewind to before Momo Sakura entered the Demon Demon Demon!

Memory rewriting! Delete all of Tao Ying's obsession with those details!

Cognitive impairment! This makes Tao Ying less attentive to various things!

After doing all of the above, Hong Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, I was more skilled, otherwise Tao Ying would have exposed me."

Yuanxing sensed that something had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was because her feeling was very vague. However, just because Yuanxing's feeling was vague didn't mean that others felt the same way.

[Someone has reversed time!] An Lian's voice boomed in Yuan Xing's mind: [Time has reversed for about ten minutes. Although I don't know who did it or why, I can feel it.]

Chapter 333 San San San is exactly the same as her master.

[They used a spirit to reverse time, but if it's only for ten minutes, there's probably no need to worry about it, right?]

"Not an elf," Anlian replied to Yuanxing's question, "I can't sense elves reversing time. Only elves can sense when elves use their abilities. I can only know through elves. What I can sense must be magic."

Magical girls with the ability to reverse time are extremely rare, and none are paragons among them. Even fewer are capable of investigating this matter, meaning that now that this incident has occurred, she can immediately and legitimately skip her homework!

Yuanxing is so happy!

Just then, the door to the Demon Demon Gate was pushed open and someone walked in; it was Tao Ying who entered.

After Tao Ying walked in, she looked around curiously: "The meeting is already over? It ended earlier than I expected."

Yuanxing said directly, "Because my master feels sorry for me and doesn't want me to work hard for the Demon Generation, he sent everyone away."

Eh? !

This statement startled Hong Shi, but she quickly realized that what Yuan Xing said was just an exaggerated embellishment, and no one else cared about it except her.

Yuanxing continued, "Why did Sister Taoying come here? Aren't you worried about making a wasted trip? Or did you have a fight with your family and run away from home?"

"do not know."

Tao Ying shook her head: "I was just killing time because I was bored, and then I unconsciously ended up at MomoMo. I guess it's because coming to MomoMo is a habit of mine?"

"I understand, I sometimes unintentionally wander into the Demon Demon Demon."

Yuanxing chatted casually with Taoying, but her mind was elsewhere: someone had used magic to reverse time. Anlian had sensed the use of time reversal magic, so her master must also know that time had been reversed. This was something she absolutely had to investigate thoroughly, to find out the reason for the time reversal, to ensure no strange or unexpected events had occurred. But her master hadn't taken any action? This didn't make sense no matter how she looked at it, unless…

The one who manipulates magic to reverse time is none other than Master himself!

But what is her reason for reversing time?

Yuanxing looked at Hongshi and suddenly asked, "Master, don't you have anything to say to me?"

This question made Hongshi freeze for a moment, but she remained calm and said, "No, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just feeling bored with my homework. I'm going out for a walk. Master, would you like to come with me?"

If it was Master who reversed time, then why did she do it? Whatever the reason, Yuanxing felt it must be related to Taoying, since Taoying happened to enter at that time. It's almost impossible that the time reversal wasn't related to Taoying. In other words, the time reversal was most likely because Taoying said something wrong, and then she was affected by Master's memory-forgetting spell, which is why she forgot why she came to the Demon Realm.

Thinking about it this way, we can see that reversing time was a counterattack after her master was cornered, and it wasn't the problem from the beginning. The real problem is what Tao Ying said that forced her master to reverse time. The impact of this event must be very serious, serious enough that Tao Ying could see it with the naked eye. She might even discover the problem once she leaves the Demon Demon Demon area.

Yuanxing wasn't asking Hongshi's opinion; she simply ran over, took Hongshi's hand, and headed outside. Generally, Hongshi either went or didn't go, but this time Yuanxing clearly sensed Hongshi's resistance. However, the resistance was slight; to be precise, it wasn't resistance, but rather the feeling that she was lost in thought about something.

When Yuanxing stepped out of the Demon Demon Demon, he found that nothing special had happened outside; it was just like any other day.

Hongshi pointed towards the river: "If you want to take a walk, walking along the river is the best option; it's quieter there as there are fewer people."

Yuanxing, of course, would not agree. She already had a chosen route: the same route Taoying had taken. Although she didn't know the exact location of Taoying's house, she knew the general direction. She wanted to follow the route Taoying had taken and see what Taoying had seen, hoping to discover the problem Taoying had discovered.

Hong Shi felt a little nervous, but only a little. After all, she had already heard Tao Ying talk about the flaws she had discovered, and of course, she had made modifications in those areas. For example, she used her original memories to create a way of acting, and as long as she acted in that way, she could avoid being easily discovered like Tao Ying had been before.

As Yuanxing strolled through the city, she realized that the route she had taken was the same one Taoying had taken, and she knew that Taoying had noticed something strange along this route, but now she couldn't figure out what it was.

Yuanxing was at a loss: [What do you think, Sister Anlian? I told you before that Sister Taoying discovered something, which led to Master's time reversal and the alteration of her memories. What do you think?]

[If you follow your line of reasoning, I think you'll get nowhere by continuing down this path. After all, Hongshi must have heard what Taoying said, so she'll naturally fill in the gaps from that time. If you want to figure out what she did, you need to find new loopholes. Or you could just ask her directly what she did and see how she answers. The more she answers, the more flaws she'll reveal.]

Yuanxing didn't want to ask. She worried that these things were just her own anxieties leading to her delusions. Perhaps the time reversal wasn't done by her master at all. If her master knew she suspected her, he would definitely be heartbroken. It was better to be more cautious and decide later. In the end, this matter wasn't urgent, and there was no need to investigate and find out the results immediately.

Thinking about this made Yuanxing feel a little relaxed, and then she felt a little thirsty.

She looked around and casually pointed to a coffee shop: "Master, I'll treat you to coffee!"

Hong Shi joked, "You actually chose my competitor's store, you spendthrift kid."

"Hahaha, Master, really."

Yuanxing found the joke hilarious; after all, "MoMoMo" is a magical girl club, not a coffee shop.

As soon as Yuanxing entered the coffee shop, she chose the coffee she wanted. It was a tall, yellow-colored coffee with yellow flowers adorning the rim: "I want this!"

Hongshi glanced at the coffee name: Rum Pineapple Coffee.

"That's wine?"

"Alcohol is fine too, my Magical Cannon calls the shots."

After ordering her coffee, Yuanxing sat at the bar watching the barista prepare it. She found the barista's coffee-making manner incredibly sleek; his technique, expression, and demeanor were exactly like her master's—it was practically like her master herself! She turned around to confirm that her master was right next to her. She looked around and noticed several other customers in the coffee shop, all of whom shared the same characteristic: they were exactly like her master.

Yuanxing ran out of the coffee shop and stood at the door looking at the passersby. She hadn't paid special attention before, but now she realized that although these people looked different from her master, they were all exactly the same as her master except for their expressions. In other words, these people were all her master?!

Chapter 334 I'm willing to shelter you from the wind and rain, far better than anything else.

Why are all these people masters?

Yuanxing asked Anlian about this: "Sister Anlian, I've noticed that everyone on the road is a master craftsman. Do you have any clues?"

[Huh? How did you find that? These aren't what you expected!]

Judging from these five aspects—actions, demeanor, expression, feeling, and aura—these individuals are 100% similar to their master, with no margin of error.

Anlian was speechless, but since Yuanxing was so certain, she couldn't refute him: "Since you're so adamant, I can only agree with you. But I have no clue why."
