Is it only magical girls?

She'll draw her gun and wipe out her teammates at the drop of a hat, go berserk and attack our base, rebel without a word, and leave the group without saying a word. She'll shoulder any problems herself and refuse to communicate. Anyway, for magical girls, these kinds of things are inevitable.

Anlian continued, "Here's a little riddle for you: can you guess who is the person who sought my help?"

Generally speaking, when someone asks this kind of question, the answer is always the most unexpected one.

"Could it be Lanlan's wife, Erling Sizhuo, the lacquer master?"

"correct answer!"

Anlian laughed wildly, taking a while to recover: "I'm so weak. Can someone like me even be here? I got injured just fighting a regular familiar. Is it okay for someone like me to be here? I'm just getting in the way. If I continue to be this weak, I'll definitely be abandoned. But I want to stay here. I want the three of us to be together forever and ever. Based on this thought, she asked me for help, and of course, I was willing to help her."

help?

Yuanxing turned his head to look. Was the deadly battle over there what Anlian meant by "help"?

At this moment, the fierce battle on the battlefield continues, intense emotions intertwining and merging, reaching a new level of sublimation. A unique, eerie purple light shimmers on the three magical girls, a light that is captivating yet also intimidating, inspiring a desire to flee.

The light, though dark in color, was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

The light gradually faded, leaving behind only a huge sculpture, as large as a skyscraper, depicting three women back to back.

Witch...

It has begun to develop.

Chapter 74, Part 73: My Trouble Is Above Yours

Witch...

Looking at the enormous statue before her, Yuanxing's expression turned grave. She turned to Anlian and angrily rebuked her: "Is this what you call being together forever?!"

"Just tell me if you're together or not, but aren't you together now?"

Anlian said nonchalantly, "Besides, this isn't the end of the story. As long as the magical girls descend and defeat the witches, they will be freed and the true ending will come."

Anlian reached out and poked Yuanxing on the forehead: "You're pretty good. Didn't you want to go on stage and perform just now? Now it's your turn to perform. Although I hope you lose badly, I'll still cheer for you."

"What exactly do you want?!"

Yuanxing couldn't understand why Anlian went to such lengths to create the witch, and then encouraged herself to defeat her.

"Too much talk makes a woman less beautiful; a woman is beautiful because of her secrets."

After leaving those words, An Lian used teleportation to disappear.

"No matter how beautiful you are, you're still a single dog."

Lingling attempted to use verbal attacks to strike at the opponent's mind, but Anlian's retreat was too fast, causing Lingling's mental attack to fail, which made Lingling grit her teeth.

Yuanxing looked at the witch statue not far away. Like the witches he had seen before, the witch was not making any moves for the time being. It was best not to provoke them.

The next thing to do is to go back to the Demon Demon Demon, since this kind of thing happened right in front of me, and I desperately want to find someone to complain to.

The perfect example is Hongshi, who observes everything but does nothing.

Farstar is a demon in every sense of the word, and when he saw Crimson World, his eyes widened and his expression was ferocious.

Hong Shi asked, "Do you want to cry?"

"do not want!"

Yuanxing's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she glared at Hongshi, but she didn't say a word.

Miss Hongshi knew very well why Yuanxing was angry. She poured her a cup of coffee and handed it to her: "Here, calm down."

Yuanxing was still furious, but seeing the coffee, she realized she was indeed thirsty. She picked it up and took a big gulp, then screamed and jumped up: "It's so sour! What is this?!"

"coffee."

"This coffee is so sour?!"

Hearing Yuanxing's loud shouts, his friends all crowded around, one taking a taste, another taking a sip, and then everyone jumped up with Yuanxing from the sourness.

Even Lingling's expression turned ferocious due to the sour smell, while Miyou was pounding her fist on the wooden table at the bar to recover.

Ye Liu rubbed her forehead. She was often sore, so she had a higher tolerance for this kind of taste: "What's this coffee made with?"

"The rice wine and the sourness of the coffee combine perfectly; the refreshing sourness is truly rare."

Yuanxing cried out, "Sister Hongshi! This is simply cheating!"

“I know why you’re upset. Even if you try to persuade them once, you can’t persuade them a second time. Under the existing rules of witches, this outcome is inevitable and unavoidable. What you need to do is not to stop them from becoming witches, but to defeat them after they become witches and let them recover. Once they recover, the emotions that transformed them into witches will be sublimated, and their emotions will be calmed down.”

That also means that feelings can vanish, feelings that have been cherished and carefully nurtured for years can disappear in the blink of an eye, as if those feelings should never have existed in the first place. Unacknowledged feelings, unwanted feelings—just thinking about it is heartbreaking.

"So I asked if you wanted to cry in my arms for a bit."

"do not want!"

Yuanxing accepted this explanation for the time being, but she had a second question: "We've all been held captive by Anlian, and you're not coming to rescue us."

"Aren't you all alright?"

Hongshi gestured for the little girls to sit down: "Although Anlian is like that, she won't attack you. She doesn't consider herself evil—"

Lingling asked in surprise, "She's already like that, isn't that wicked?"

"She doesn't think so, and besides, not many people know about it, right? She'll nurture evil, cultivate evil, support evil, assist evil, and indulge evil, but all of that is to give justice a chance to shine. What she craves is a classic story of a righteous magical girl defeating evil and saving the world. If evil spreads in this world and justice hides away, she'll be a reliable ally, but if there's no extreme evil..."

She's inclined to raise an extremely wicked and immoral being to witness justice and eliminate evil, right?

What a troublesome woman.

Yuanxing originally wanted to use the word "evil," but felt that the adjective "evil" was not appropriate.

Anlian hopes that she will fight the witch, that she will be defeated in the battle, that the witch girls will be wiped out, and that the real magical girl in her heart will descend from the sky to solve all the problems.

She never expected evil to win; she only hoped things would get serious enough that her beloved magical girl would have another chance to take the stage.

How can there be such a troublesome woman?

Moreover, she said the same thing as her senior. No, it should be that her senior was influenced by Anlian when she infiltrated the park and accepted Anlian's ideas, but it's unclear why she did so.

"She said the same thing as her senior..."

"You want to turn Chichan into your enemy, don't you? It's common for childhood friends to turn into nemesis, so you want to cultivate her in that direction, right? This incident might be a rehearsal to put Chichan and you on opposite sides."

I can't believe this happened...

Just thinking about it sent chills down Yuanxing's spine: "That girl is absolutely despicable! Isn't there any way to deal with her?"

"I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't be hiding and not going out. I've decided to leave the problem to future generations. There will surely be someone a hundred times more intelligent than me in the future who can solve this problem. I generally don't consider An Lian's problem, because she's relatively safe, just troublesome."

Understood.

This means that the fifth worst thing in the world is not worth my attention at all!

“Then I’ll handle it,” Yuanxing said, taking on all the responsibilities. “Whether it’s the demon race, the witch, or Anlian, I’ll handle it all because I’m Master’s disciple and I need to share Master’s burdens.”

"Yuan Xiaoxing..."

Hongshi was moved to tears. She had never met anyone so genuinely willing to help her since she became a magical girl at the age of nine.

Yuanxing's eyes darted around, and he saw the rice wine and coffee next to him. An idea came to him, and he handed it to Hongshi: "Master, please have some."

Hong Shi was still immersed in emotion and had no idea about these things. Following Yuan Xing's advice, he drank some rice wine and coffee, immediately put on the Pain Mask, closed his eyes tightly and opened his mouth wide, making his expression as strange as it could be.

This is good.

Yuanxing took out his phone and decisively pressed the shutter button.

Chapter 75, Section 74: Just tell me if you're together or not.

Yuanxing, having successfully pulled off the prank, ran off quickly, laughing heartily amidst Hongshi's accusations of being a traitor, sweeping away the gloom and depression he had just felt.

Since things have turned out this way, it's pointless to dwell on not being able to prevent them from happening. What we need to think about now is how to solve the problem, and Yuanxing has a deeper idea.

Upon entering the office belonging to Starlight Magic Co., Ltd., Yuanxing's first words upon sitting down in the office chair were: "I want to beat her up."

Needless to say, everyone knows who this so-called "she" is.

Miyu immediately put on a mask of pain. Although it was a statement that fit her captain's personality, wasn't the difficulty of this task a bit too high? It was like a few mice conspiring to give the eagle a hard time; no matter how you looked at it, that was impossible.

Yuanxing reached out her hand to Miyou, and although she didn't understand why, Miyou also reached out her hand to her.

Yuanxing held Miyou's hand and shook it vigorously: "Don't be afraid, we are not little mice, and I didn't say to do it now, I just said to start thinking of a way now."

"How did you know I was thinking about the little mouse?" Mi You's eyes widened. "When did you acquire the ability to read minds?!"

Farstar said in a serious tone: "We magical girls can read minds."

"Eh?!"

Miyou's terror only intensified. She looked at Yuanxing, trying to read his mind, but couldn't sense anything. What kind of mind-reading is this?!

Her slightly comical appearance elicited a burst of laughter.

After the laughter subsided, Ye Liu got back to the main topic: "I do have a plan regarding what Yuan Xing was just thinking. When the strength of the two sides is vastly different, we should set a trap. Using the trap may give us a chance to win."

"Even if you say you're setting a trap, what would you use to set it?"

Ye Liu looked at Yuan Xing: "That depends on whether Yuan Xing is willing to part with it. After all, Yuan Xing has quite a few things that can tempt An Lian."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Everyone's phones were originally on the table. After noticing Ye Liu's gaze, Yuan Xing carefully picked her phone up from the table. She clearly understood what Ye Liu meant by "bait." Although using those photos as bait wouldn't reduce the number of photos Yuan Xing had, and sharing them with others was fine, she didn't want to share them with An Lian, absolutely not with An Lian.

Ye Liu glanced at Yuan Xing and simply changed the subject: "This witch is formed by the fusion of three magical girls. I don't know if she has one emotion or three emotions. If she has three emotions, then this witch will have three special abilities. I think she has three. The witch's power will definitely be stronger than the last one, otherwise An Lian wouldn't have had to personally create the witch."

Aon chimed in, "First of all, we should consider joint operations. After all, defeating witches isn't just the job of one team. Even if we don't expect the Paradise to cooperate, the magical girls within the Demon Demon Demon can be united."

"Alright, alright, let's do as Qingyin says. Let's win over all the magical girls of MomoMo and then annex MomoMo."

"what?"

Hearing Yuanxing's reply, Qingyin was a little confused. Did she really say that? She only said that she could fight alongside other magical girls; she didn't say she wanted to devour all the magical girls! Wait a minute, didn't Yuanxing say something like that before? She thought it was a joke then, but now it seems she's serious?!

Qingyin could only sigh, "What kind of rebellious disciple are you? You think about swallowing up your master's business every day."

"Humph."

Yuanxing didn't answer, but accepted Qingyin's suggestion: "Joint operations are good. Nami should agree to joint operations, right? I'll ask Qingyin to go and communicate with Nami. We probably can't count on Paradise, but I remember there's a company that has the ability to independently defeat super-large monsters, right? If we can join forces with them, it will be three against three, which is a fair and square competition."

Mi You corrected, "We're one person short, so it's three against two and a half."

Yuanxing gave a thumbs up to express her gratitude for Miyou's correction, but she was very generous: "It's okay, to show our generosity, let's give them half a person."

Qingyin made quick progress and directly dialed Nami's number.

This left Yuanxing somewhat dumbfounded: "You've already exchanged numbers?"

"if not?"

That's so un-magical girl style! Exchanging phone numbers right away! Magical girls shouldn't exchange numbers, and they should never call for help when facing enemies. That's what makes them cool in an emergency. Exchanging phone numbers is something only adults do. So un-magical girl style!

The call connected quickly with Aon, who said, "Nami, have you seen the witch? We want to launch a joint operation..."

Aon put it down, turned on video call mode, and showed Nami's image. She seemed to be on a rooftop. The camera quickly adjusted, and the image showed a witch's head parallel to the skyscraper. The three magical girls, transformed into witch statues, approached each other sharply but turned their backs to each other, both close and distant, but at least their expressions were calm.

Ye Liu asked, "Aren't you starting to act now? Isn't that too dangerous?"

【No, our team's Gui'er is the most skilled in summoning magic, so we asked her to conduct preliminary research to determine what kind of abilities the witch possesses. I'm livestreaming from my phone right now, so you might not be able to see it very clearly. After the actual battle, I'll send you a video I took of her summoned creatures up close. I wasn't originally planning to livestream it to you, but since you called, I might as well do it.】

Nami then began adjusting her phone, trying to get the live stream angle directly onto the witch statue.

The reason I didn't plan to let them watch the live stream was that I wanted them to see close-up videos directly, which is much more reliable in any case!

Compared to those hands-off managers who suddenly abandon their clients during the cultivation process, it's like heaven and earth.

Lingling looked at the image that was already aimed at the witch statue and said, "How about we switch to a senior student to push Yuanxing?"

"My senior used to have many good points! She's just been acting a bit strange lately. As long as she resolves her issues, she'll definitely recover."

Yuanxing tried her best to defend Qianchan and clear her name, but unfortunately, she herself did not realize that she had not denied anything.

[How is it? This angle seems pretty good. If there are no problems, I'll have Gui'er get started.]

"no problem."

Numerous summoned beasts quickly appeared during the live stream, including black panthers, pegasus, giant wolves, tyrannosaurus rex, and many other different kinds. These summoned beasts formed small teams and attacked the witch statue with well-organized battle formations. Then, as they approached the witch statue, they twisted and contorted, with the summoned beasts in each battle formation converging together, twisting and merging, transforming into a deformed and distorted alien shape that defies description.

The aliens were too far away; from the distant planet, they could only be perceived as somewhat soft and limp, having turned into something like slime.

The alien's appearance was unclear, but the witch's loud singing was clearly audible: "Together forever!"
