Is it only magical girls?

As Yuanxing watched Miyou leave, she spoke of the demons who attacked the school today: "By the way, our school was attacked by demons today. Lingling said that the demons' magic seemed very pure, so it must be man-made. Sister Hongshi, do you have any clues? Do you know who did it?"

I have a clue, and I know who did it, since it was me.

Hong Shi shook his head: "I don't know."

Hongshi's answer drew the attention of all four, and they all looked at him with slight surprise.

Yuanxing asked directly, "Sister Hongshi knows who did it, right? After all, you used to always say that Anlian did it, but you didn't say that this time."

“It wasn’t Anlian who did it. Anlian messed things up like this, and lately she’s probably focused on getting revenge on the person who made her mess things up. She won’t come out and cause trouble.”

Although shifting the blame to Anlian would be a good way to solve the problem once and for all, Hongshi didn't want to deal with it by framing someone else. Rather than framing someone else to escape her own sins, she felt she should be honest, admit her mistakes, and sincerely apologize.

Yes, be honest and straightforward.

Hongshi said directly, "Alright, alright, since you've found out, I'll confess. Actually, it was me who did it. I wanted to make Yuanxing realize sooner that nothing can be done without magical girls, and that the only right path is to come back and become magical girls. So I sent those alchemical creatures to attack you. I deeply regret my mistake. I did something wrong because I acted impulsively. I hope you can forgive me."

Who would believe that?!

Hong Shi-jie, who was previously stubbornly insisting she was unhappy, is now frankly admitting she acted impulsively because of Touhou's decision not to become a magical girl?!

The four members of the Farstar team looked at each other, and each saw deep disbelief in the other's eyes.

On the surface, everyone remained calm and nodded to show their forgiveness for Hongshi, but they also tried to subtly probe for more information. After all, Hongshi's reaction indicated that she definitely knew who was behind it all, and she was protecting them to prevent things from escalating.

Putting everything else aside, can Sister Hongshi really say that sunspots give birth to a god of darkness?

Those who say such things are either evil cults that specialize in deceiving fools into becoming believers—after all, only idiots who believe that sunspots can give birth to a god of darkness are easy to fool—or they are the kind of people who began to delve into the mysteries in an era when astronomy was underdeveloped, and who can only grit their teeth and continue their studies even in an era when astronomy is advanced.

Moreover, Sister Hong Shi just accidentally let slip that she mentioned alchemical creatures, so the enemy is clearly the alchemists!

Yuanxing asked, "Sister Hongshi, what do you think of the development of alchemists these days?"

"It's in very decline. Alchemy is difficult to learn and its effects are weak. Even the descendants of alchemists don't like alchemy. They prefer to be magical girls. Nowadays, alchemists are more like gangs than schools of thought."

This is it!

It is precisely because we are declining that we must strive to increase our influence! Alchemists will never be slaves!

Yuanxing found the suspicious person even more suspicious.

Seeing Yuanxing's knowing look, Hongshi suddenly realized, "What's wrong? Why are you asking about alchemists? You don't think they made the alchemical puppets, do you? I made them, you know?"

"No, I just thought that Senior Sister Qianchan might be investigating alchemists, so I plan to start investigating first."

Hong Shi was speechless for a moment. She didn't believe this excuse at all. She felt that Yuan Xing was investigating the alchemical doll. She felt that the more she denied it, the more certain it became. No matter what she said, Yuan Xing wouldn't believe it. Anyway, let her investigate. If she found out something, she could just accept it as bad luck.

Why won't you believe that I created the alchemical puppet?

"Sister Hongshi, what's your educational background? You should have graduated from elementary school, right?"

"I dropped out of kindergarten."

Yuanxing said, "Right?"

Miss Hongshi didn't understand, but Yuanxing didn't want to dwell on the issue anymore. After all, the investigation into the alchemical doll wasn't urgent; getting the company back on track was more pressing. Right now, Starlight Magic Co., Ltd. didn't seem like a security company; it was more like a mercenary force under the Demon Demon Demon, which was very irregular.

Hong Shi sighed: "Really, I don't understand these days' little girls."

All of this conversation was observed by Lingxing, who was sitting in the corner. She was very satisfied with this development. Next, her mother would begin investigating the alchemists, confirming that the alchemical puppets were indeed made by them. This was because the alchemists had actually summoned the God of Darkness to maintain their influence, and had been trying to do so for a hundred years, but unfortunately, they had not succeeded yet.

If we investigate the alchemist, we won't suspect that Master Chef created the alchemical doll, and that way our relationship won't progress so rapidly because of this.

Then she still has a chance!

Chapter 99 Ninety-Nine Quickly Prepare a Gatling Gun for Miyou

Some things are easier said than said, but we have to say them, and now is one of those slightly awkward times.

Yuanxing watched as Miyou frantically fired at the ten-meter target, but missed every time.

The shooting instructor at Miyu is a former magical girl named Yin Lin, who was particularly skilled in shooting during her magical girl days. Therefore, she now serves as a firearms shooting instructor at MomoMo. MomoMo has many such former magical girls who are responsible for various tasks, including kendo, shooting, archery, and hand-to-hand combat, supporting the operation of MomoMo in every aspect.

The shooting instructor had been covering her face ever since Yuanxing and the others arrived, refusing to let them see her.

Because the instructor was so pitiful, Yuanxing said, "How about we stop practicing?"

"I'll stop practicing once I hit the target."

Good grief, after three days of practice, not a single shot hits the target. No wonder the instructor covered his face when he saw her; she was too ashamed to show her face. Those who knew her would think her shooting skills were terrible, but those who didn't would think the instructor wasn't trying.

Yuanxing felt that they needed to think of a way to help Miyou, because it was not a solution to keep practicing in vain like this.

She walked towards her instructor, deliberately using a sickeningly sweet, high-pitched voice: "This lady."

The instructor spread her fingers to make room for her eyes, and as soon as she saw the distant stars, she put her hands down completely: "You're the kid who burst into tears, I really love your songs."

Come again? !

Yuanxing pretended not to hear, tried to calm herself down, and went straight to the point: "Sister, is Miyou's marksmanship really bad? How long does it usually take for an average person to hit a ten-meter target when they start learning marksmanship?"

"An ordinary magical girl could hit a target ten meters away without missing in three days, but Miyu..."

Yuanxing knew very well: "The bullets missed their mark."

"Yes."

Yuanxing was very disappointed, but of course, she was faking it. At this moment, showing such a downcast expression because of her companion's failure would definitely get her comfort, and the other party would rack their brains to help her think of a remedy.

And now this trick is very useful. The teacher hurriedly praised Miyu: "But Miyu's gunfighting technique is very powerful, you know? Although it's only been three days, it's more powerful than other gunfighting techniques. It's as if all the talent in shooting has been put into gunfighting."

"But she's the obstructive type..."

"Or we could forgo the pistol and use the Yiqi VI Yier Erjiu-submachine gun, along with the accuracy-enhancing effects. As long as the firepower is concentrated enough, we'll be able to hit the target."

"Thank you sister."

Yuanxing returned to her original position, and her friends asked her how Miyou was doing and whether she could be saved.

Yuanxing shook his head: "Teacher Sister said that unless we prepare a Gatling gun for Miyou, there is no chance of hitting her."

Then there's nothing more to say.

Ye Liu tugged at Lu Yi's tears and asked her companions for their opinions.

Qingyin was the first to nod in agreement.

Yuanxing and Lingling had no objections, and all four agreed. So, each person took charge of one limb, picked up Miyou, and headed straight for the office.

Miyou struggled incessantly: "I want to shoot! I want to shoot! One more time and I'll definitely hit the target!"

If you didn't know they were practicing shooting, you'd think they were gambling or drawing cards.

They didn't put Mi You down until they brought her into the office. Once inside, Mi You stopped struggling and temporarily put the shooting incident out of her mind, since missing every shot wasn't something worth remembering.

"Okay, let's begin our next meeting. Miyu, please speak up this time." Yuanxing winked at Miyu as he spoke, "I won't do anything you think is unacceptable. Even with the most meticulous plans, unexpected situations can still arise. To avoid a repeat of what happened before, I will consider Miyu's opinions more in the future."

Mi You covered her mouth, feeling a bit dangerous. With this expression, she transformed into a member of the "Good Far Star Good Good Party".

"Then, please feel free to speak your mind."

Yuanxing said this mainly because she was confused about the future and didn't know what to do, so she simply let others handle it.

Ye Liu said, "Yuanxing was interested in alchemists before, right? I know the situation of alchemists quite well. They are similar to my family's guards. They live in castles far from the city. Unlike the guards who actively participate in the city's construction and make their garrisons completely integrated with the city, the alchemists' castles are about fifty kilometers away from the city. These fifty kilometers are all agricultural areas."

"I'm just a little interested, but I feel there are other things that are more urgent, like getting the company back on track. When Lingling and I were at the department store, we found that Momomo was very weak in the commercial sector. Is there any way to alleviate this trend, or at least not let it look like nobody cares about it?"

right!

The magical girl figures at the amusement park have all sorts of related merchandise, while the magical girl figures here have none at all, making it feel like they're being overshadowed.

The little girls don't care about profits; what they care about is the feeling of being inferior to others.

Ye Liu, Qing Yin, and Mi You started discussing business expansion, mentioning things like posters and songs that needed quick preparation time. They felt that anything taking too long was a waste of time and didn't align with Starlight's security-oriented development direction. However, being a magical girl company, reputation was also crucial, and songs that could quickly boost brand awareness without much time investment were especially valued.

Yuanxing said, "In short, I want to create something commercial that Sister Hongshi will be very happy about. We don't need to tell her beforehand. We'll tell her after we're done and give her a surprise, since she took such good care of me just now."

The transformation magic that arrived almost seamlessly with the demon attack, along with the brand-new, powerful magic wand, filled Farstar with joy. Even a little bit was enough for her to repay this kindness.

Lingling felt this wasn't a surprise but a shock. MoMoMo might have some special reason for not engaging in commercial activities, and acting rashly could cause serious trouble. However, Yuanxing seemed very happy, and considering Yuanxing's fundamentally sound operational philosophy, opposing Yuanxing's commercialization seemed inappropriate...

Yuanxing continued, "MoMoMo only has one album on our side, and there's only one song on it. If we had more songs, we could release more albums."

Got it!

Lingling came up with a good idea: instead of opposing Yuanxing, she would follow one of Yuanxing's ideas, which would ensure that Yuanxing would always be right.

So Lingling said, "Let's hold a concert. Concerts can attract a large audience. We can invite a few big-name magical girl singers to warm up the crowd, and we won't have to worry about not having an audience."

Others say concerts are fine, but when Lingling talks about concerts, she thinks of her mother and then of familiars appearing everywhere. Just thinking about it is kind of scary.

No one spoke, and Lingling remained silent, waiting quietly.

After recovering from the terrifying memories, Yuanxing made the decision: "Okay, let's hold the concert."

Even though there are no songs, it doesn't matter, there will be songs at the concert.

Although I have no experience and don't know how to organize a concert, it doesn't matter. Hua Yi has organized concerts before, so I can just ask her and she'll know.

Ps:

The concert was hit by background noise, so the possibility of the audience being wiped out is unlikely (Four Seasons Crying, IlingI Dancing, NIkXIVIX Scar).

Chapter 100: Your company needs me.

Yuanxing had Huayi's contact information. Huayi was very excited when she arrived at Xingguang's office. She rushed to Qingyin and grabbed Qingyin's hand, shaking it vigorously: "Thank you, thank you Qingyin for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard in the future!"

"what chance?"

"Isn't it you who wants to leave the team and give me your position as the leader of the group?"

Pah! Forget about it, there's no hope for this in this lifetime!

Qingyin really wanted to swear, but as a vibrant high school girl, she naturally couldn't say such things, so she restrained herself and just gave Huayi a hateful glare.

Yuanxing said, "We want to put on a concert, but we don't have much experience, so we want Huayi to help us."

"you?"

Ye Liu didn't quite understand what Hua Yi meant by the question: "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Hua Yi once again witnessed the debauchery of Mo Mo Mo. So-called music is the embodiment of sensuality, the crystallization of the spirit, the song of the soul. A group of people holding a concert together is about merging their sensuality, resonating with each other's spirits, and uniting their souls—it's all about spiritual communion! In the paradise, there will absolutely never be more than three people hosting a concert; Mo Mo Mo is simply too debauched!

Hua Yi felt she had been in the Demon Demon Demon party for a while now, and she was prepared and ready. She hadn't participated in the last weapon showcase because she was shy. But this time, she was fine; she could join the party and be one with everyone else!

Hua Yi beamed: "I can do it. I'm ready this time. I won't back down like last time. I'm not the same person I used to be."

What is this child saying? I don't understand anything about giving up.

Yuanxing asked, "We're a little worried that we won't be able to attract enough viewers on our own. We wonder if we could ask some magical girls from the amusement park or other companies to help us out."

This person is amazing!

Hua Yi looked at Yuan Xing with admiration. It wasn't enough for the six of them to be united in soul; they wanted to find even more people from the park to join the party. That was truly amazing!

Hua Yi was very certain: "There's no way anyone from the amusement park would be willing to come."

It's impossible for members of the amusement park to suddenly appear at such a group concert; after all, not everyone is as open to new things as she is.

"There aren't many popular people in the company, so my presence is enough to liven up the atmosphere and fill the venue to capacity."

Qingyin said, "Wouldn't that mean there aren't enough songs? Or rather, there weren't enough songs to begin with, since there were originally only two."

Yuanxing was quite confident: "Before the concert, each person will sing one song, which will make five songs. Counting the two songs from before, and also the songs that Momo and Hanae came to help, I've already told Hongshi-nee, so that will make ten songs. I wonder if Nami wants to come to the concert. If each of them performs one song, that will make sixteen songs."

Mi You almost burst out laughing: "It's one thing to arrange for your own people, but why are you arranging for other people too?"

Yuanxing remained silent, then patted Qingyin on the shoulder: "I believe in Qingyin, just as I believe in myself. Qingyin, you can do it!"

Hua Yi was completely shocked. She had never imagined that her debut in MoMoMo would be such a grand event, with all fourteen members uniting their souls in a single, spectacular display. Although she had prepared herself, this was still a bit...

No! She can do it!

Ye Liu said, "By the way, Hui Mei and the others have also transferred their registration. We'll have the three of them come and help out then."

Seventeen people!

Hua Yi found herself surprisingly unconcerned. After all, there were already fourteen people, so three more would only make it seventeen, which was nothing and not worth making a fuss about.

Yuanxing said, "If there are seventeen people, it will be much easier to put on a concert. Otherwise, it's quite troublesome if there aren't any songs."

Mi You said with some concern, "I don't know if Sister Hong Shi is willing to provide the funds for the concert. After all, it's the first time we've held a concert, and there's bound to be a risk of losing money."

"Hehehe, I think you don't understand at all, Miyou. Do you know what Miss Anlian will say?"
