Is it only magical girls?

Hua Yi suddenly laughed. She deliberately moved her office chair back a little to create some distance between it and the desk, crossed her legs, and casually imitated An Lian's speech: "You, get your facts straight. Our amusement park is a magical girl company. Our main job is to protect the city, and our secondary job is to serve magical girls. When did we ever tell you that we had to consider profits? If you want to hold a concert, then hold one. If you're worried about not having enough audience members, just go outside and hire them. Eighty yuan for two hours, transportation included, we can have as many audience members as you want."

Yuanxing suddenly felt that Anlian and Sister Hongshi were somewhat similar.

These two are beyond even being described as incredibly wealthy; they could print money at will and create an endless supply of gold. Yet, one only pays three thousand a month for hiring someone to entertain, and the other only pays eighty for taking someone to a concert—she wouldn't even round it up to one hundred!

But Huayi's words were meaningful; at least she knew that Momomo didn't care about the losses and would help organize the concert as long as an application was submitted.

"If the concert goes smoothly, then everyone should contribute a song, preferably within a week, because I want to hold the concert in ten days."

Huayi sat up straight immediately: "Ten days is impossible no matter what. Generally speaking, even a small concert requires about two months of preparation. If you want to participate in ten days, you can only go to a music festival. But we are not professional magical girls, so going to a music festival will only waste time. Therefore, it is better to leave the concert preparation to someone else."

After discussing it, everyone felt that participating in music festivals was a place for companies to help each other promote themselves and scheme against each other, which did not match their purpose. They just wanted to find a way to vent their feelings and release an album to satisfy their vanity.

"Alright then, let's patiently wait for the concert preparations."

Yuanxing sighed, "I originally wanted to do advertising and promotion directly at the concert, but now it's all just 'magic magic' work. Although it's not bad, it doesn't feel like a company."

Hanae expressed her understanding: "I've been there too. As an idol-type magical girl, there are times when I want to find work outside the amusement park to prove myself, but even after creating a company website, I haven't received any inquiries—"

"Eh?"

Yuanxing suddenly looked up: "Do you have a company website?"

Mi You said, "No."

Hua Yi choked for a moment before continuing, "Do you have any social media accounts?"

Qingyin said, "No."

Hua Yi was a little exasperated: "At least they distributed advertisements, right? They put up ads on buses or played ads on the subway."

Ye Liu replied, "No."

The girl in the flowery dress rubbed her forehead, but still stubbornly resisted: "Although this company is affiliated with MagicMagic, non-magical girls outside of MagicMagic should also be able to see the company name, right? You've set that up, haven't you?"

Ling Ling replied, "No."

Despairingly, Hua Yi asked, "How do clients other than Sister Hong Shi learn about your company?"

"no!"

The Far Star team spoke in unison.

Hua Yi suddenly realized she had made a mistake. Although the Far Star Team was not short of people, Starlight Company was short of people! In fact, it was extremely short of people. How could a company be run with just a few people? They would probably only be thinking about how to engage in group sex and would not have the leisure to manage the company.

Hua Yi said confidently, "Okay, it seems your company needs me."

Chapter 101 Someone absolutely needs to fill in for Senior Sister Qianchan.

Starlight Magic Co., Ltd. has carried out a massive expansion of Y-Shaanxi (IV) Phosphorus (II) 侕罒!

After Hanae joined, Momo also realized that although she couldn't join the Far Star Team, she could join Starlight Company, which was a sort of entry into the team. In addition, Emi, Lan, and Yu also chose to join Starlight Company. The three of them were more like nominal members, deciding their own team's strategy.

Nami actually wanted to join as well, and Eve strongly supported this idea, but the other members were not very enthusiastic and even a little resistant. Considering the harmony within the team, they had to give up.

With Tao Ying's assistance, all of Starlight Company's advertising affairs were outsourced, and from now on, they would no longer need to bother with such matters.

Hua Yi also naturally shifted her focus to music, as she already had a deep understanding of this area, so entrusting it to her was reassuring.

But what's really important is that Starlight Magic Co., Ltd. received its first commission from outside of Magic Magic!

Moreover, this is a large-scale commission. The client is the self-governing committee of the 19th district on the east side of the city, and the task is to clear the monsters from the eastern area. The 19th district is located on the edge of the city and is most vulnerable to attacks from monsters outside the city.

Further east than the 19th district, there is an alchemist's castle serving as a bridgehead, but some stray monsters inevitably sneak in by chance, bypassing the defensive lines. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clear out the scattered monsters between the city and the castle.

Furthermore, scattered monsters in the wild can transform into anything unpredictable, with the potential to evolve into large or even colossal monsters. Teams capable of undertaking such cleanup missions are scarce. Unless a team is an A-rank capable of handling colossal monsters alone, multiple teams will need to work together.

The mission itself isn't particularly difficult, but it's time-consuming, highly unpredictable, and even involves a motorhome, meaning we'll have to stay overnight in the wilderness. Furthermore, we'll need someone to keep watch and protect the motorhome at night to ensure its absolute safety. This means that five people are insufficient; only six people can guarantee at least two people on watch each night.

This is precisely the great trouble that the distant stars are suffering from.

“It’s no use,” Yuanxing sighed. “We can’t let the team stay at five people because of my own willfulness. There must be six people in the team. Someone has to fill the gap left by Senior Qianchan.”

Where exactly did things go wrong? We worked so hard to maintain the club because we wanted to leave a place for our senior to come back to. We transformed the club into a company to show our determination to our senior. We moved forward so that we could catch up with our senior. But now we have to cancel the place reserved for our senior in order to move forward.

What truly saddened Yuanxing was that she herself quickly accepted this reality; she readily accepted the fact that she had to do this in order to move forward.

The team member who filled the vacancy had always been there. She had been waiting for a very long time and never urged Yuanxing. She would only contribute her strength when Yuanxing needed it and help her release her emotions when she was feeling down. In Yuanxing's heart, Yuanxing was like an older sister.

"Tao Ying, there's something I want to discuss with you—Er Yi San 5 (Seven) Jiu Liu San Er—"

"What should you call me?"

"sister?"

After hearing Yuanxing's words, Taoying laughed to herself: "Right? You're my sister, so you don't need to discuss anything with me. You just need to tell me."

“Alright,” Yuanxing nodded, “As you know, our mission is to clear out the monsters on the east side. This will probably take some time, and there’s a lot of unpredictability involved—”

"So you want me to temporarily take Qianchan's place? No problem. I'll team up with you temporarily while we're clearing out the monsters on the east side."

This wasn't what Yuanxing was thinking, and she tried to explain, "No, what I meant was—"

"I've set my sights on Qingyin's position. I don't want any other position besides Qingyin's."

The conversation took place in the office, where Aon was also present, so she naturally overheard what Momo was saying.

Qingyin was deeply moved: This is love! This can only be love! Taoying's heart and eyes are completely devoted to Yuanxing; she would rather give up a readily available position in the team than let Yuanxing face difficulties in the future. If this isn't love, then what is? Xingying is so genuine; I can totally ship this!

but--

Qingyin said, "Don't even think about my position, okay? Even if the sky falls and the earth cracks, even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, I will not give up my position."

Tao Ying has her own way of understanding it: "That means as long as the sky doesn't fall and the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, you might have to give up your position."

"Can I take my words that way?!"

Yuanxing covered her mouth and laughed. She felt that the atmosphere in the company was very good, full of laughter and joy.

This mission will take at least a week. Since it's my first time undertaking a long-term mission, I need to be well-prepared. First, I need a large RV for accommodation; second, I need enough food for six people for seven days; and third, I need gaming equipment to pass the time while keeping watch at night.

Last but not least, I must say hello to Sister Hong Shi.

"That's it. I'm going on a long mission now. I'll be back in about a week. Don't miss me, Sister Hongshi."

Hong Shi said nonchalantly, "Who misses you? You're on a mission, not giving up your magical girl duties. I can't be bothered to think about you."

"So, if I don't become a magical girl, Crimson Sister will miss me a lot?"

Hong Shi's expression turned slightly wary: "What do you want to do?"

"Of course, magical girl Crimson World won't miss me, so I think it's more profitable if Crimson World does miss me."

threaten? !

A blatant threat?!

Hong Shi snorted, completely disdainful of such threats: "Tsk, you bastard. Fine, fine, I'll miss you occasionally when you're on a mission, but don't say things like you're not going to be a magical girl anymore."

Yuanxing set off with great satisfaction.

Lingxing, who was peeking from the corner, was also very satisfied. The reason for this was that she had forged the commission.

Moreover, as someone from the future world, she was well aware of the major events that had occurred recently. Although these issues had been perfectly resolved, she could still utilize them. For example, she felt she had made excellent use of the Alchemy Castle. Her mother would need a week to deal with the monsters in the wild, another week to investigate the Alchemy Castle, and several more days to handle the aftermath. In that case, twenty-one days would have passed.

For a full twenty-one days, she and her master were alone together!

Mom once said that anything can be accomplished with hard work in 21 days, so she's going to fully unleash her feminine charm and completely win over Master Jiang in the next 21 days!

Rinse opened her arms and ran towards Kurenai with a big smile, and when she got very close to Kurenai, she used a flat-ground fall.

She didn't actually fall; Hong Shi caught her and held her in his arms.

Lingxing rubbed against him and giggled, prompting Hongshi to flick her forehead lightly: "A nine-year-old girl falls flat on her face and is still giggling like an idiot, she really has no shame."

Cuteness is invincible. Beauty and handsomeness have their limits; they crumble when something isn't considered beautiful or handsome. But cuteness is different. Once you're cute, everything you do is cute. Therefore, cuteness is invincible; in the face of cuteness, there is only submission and surrender.

So I'll use cuteness to win over Master!

"Master, it seems like Mom is going to have a concert. I want to go up and sing too, is that okay?"

Hong Shi, of course, wouldn't refuse; "Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but you have to try your best and give her a great performance when the time comes."

Chapter 102 Just Talk

The monster clearing work in the eastern area is proving more troublesome than expected, as there are far more monsters than anticipated. This large number of monsters suggests that one or more nest-type monsters are lurking within the agricultural area. Generally, monsters do not reproduce on their own, but nest-type monsters can multiply infinitely, constantly creating more monsters. If not cleared quickly, a monster army will emerge.

Finding nest-type monsters in a vast agricultural area will definitely take some effort.

Inside the RV, Ye Liu sat cross-legged, a paper map hanging in front of her, surrounded by twelve crystal balls. These crystal balls, influenced by her magic, rotated in place, occasionally projecting a beam of magic onto the map, leaving a red dot on it.

The red dot indicates the magical power within the area. The larger the dot, the more magical power is within the area. The marked location is usually a large monster or a large number of medium and small monsters.

"No, there's no way to pinpoint the location of the nest."

Looking at the red dot on the map, Yuanxing said, "There are no monsters guarding the nest-type monsters. The magic power of individual small and medium-sized nests is too low. It is too difficult to find nest-type monsters by relying solely on enemy-finding magic."

After hearing Yuanxing's words, Lingling took the lead in clapping, and everyone followed suit.

"Why?!"

While clapping, Tao Ying said, "Yuanxing has worked hard to run the company. It's obvious that they did a lot of homework beforehand, which is commendable."

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that Tao Ying's words were their own.

"Just because of this?" Yuanxing felt this was making a mountain out of a molehill and exaggerating. She turned to Miyou: "Didn't Miyou agree to try her best to sing a different tune to keep the team from going to extremes?"

Miyu said matter-of-factly, "Yes, but I think this should definitely be encouraged."

Yuanxing suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the team might be a little dangerous. She hadn't done anything wrong; she had just said a couple of unremarkable things, yet the atmosphere in the team was so tense that it made her wary. She was happy, but Yuanxing was also worried. If something like last time happened again because of her willfulness, it would be terrible. That's why she needed to be even more careful.

"You guys are really something."

Yuanxing continued, "From this perspective, relying solely on target acquisition types is clearly insufficient. I've reviewed other teams' operation reports, and finding nest-type monsters is usually the job of summoning types, but our team doesn't have any summoning types."

Farstar can also summon spirit crows, but the spirit crows are fine for combat; it's not appropriate to use them for scouting.

Clever crows can open doors, pick locks, track, attack, rob, and poke butts, but reconnaissance is out of the question. Reconnaissance requires concentration, which crows lack. They can only collectively create illusions to pretend they are conducting reconnaissance.

Qingyin suddenly said, "I have some training in summoning techniques. I started researching summoning techniques after the company was established, but it's been relatively short, so I probably don't have any particularly outstanding skills yet."

Ye Liu continued, "That's why we prepared drones, isn't it? We can use them to scout out the location of nest-type monsters this time."

Then the members of Starlight Magic Co., Ltd. learned why the other teams didn't use drones for exploration at all, but instead used summoned creatures. The main reason was that monsters would attack drones, and drones were powerless against even small monsters, being destroyed almost instantly.

Moreover, the Yiqi B61 drone is extremely expensive!

No wonder Sister Hongshi had that smiling expression on her face when she gave them the drones!

Of course, the scenario of all drones being destroyed did not occur. After one drone was damaged, the company chose to stop using drones in order to avoid bankruptcy.

At this point, everyone unanimously decided that instead of using very expensive drones, it would be better to put in the effort of using Qingyin, which was free.

Although Qingyin was working, her words were full of complaints: "What kind of people are you all?"

"We are magical girls, we are all like this."

After the company was established, Qingyin thought that one day she would take on monster-clearing missions, and these missions required summoning magic, so she began to study summoning magic.

The first summoning magic she learned was summoning pigeons. This allowed her to summon multiple pigeons to scout the sky, and the intelligence would be transmitted back via a crystal ball connected to the pigeons, allowing her to see what the pigeons saw. However, Qingyin was only just beginning to explore summoning magic, and the number of pigeons she could summon was limited; she couldn't manage it all by herself.

Miyu looked at the map and compared it with Qingyin's progress. Suddenly, she said something surprising: "I've taken a look. It's possible to explore the entire East District within a week. The cost isn't too high. Qingyin just needs to work 24 hours a day."

"No matter what, it's impossible."

"Trust Aon."

Qingyin felt a mix of emotions, and after a long while, she finally said, "Thank you for trusting me."

"You're welcome. I know your limits better than you do. You can definitely do it."

Qingyin wasn't sure if she could explore the entire area within seven days, but she knew that if she challenged Miyu to a duel now, she could definitely kill her.

Watching her companions playfully bickering, Yuanxing focused a small portion of her attention on the flying pigeons, then suddenly spotted a familiar figure. It was the figure she had searched for all those years—a tall woman in red armor with shimmering white feathers on her back, the magical girl who had once saved her from the jaws of a monster!

"Qingyin!!! Turn around quickly! Follow that Yi~Liu Yisan I*I two IX two chun people!"

Yuanxing's scream made Qingyin turn sharply to look at the crystal ball in her hand. In a few seconds, she understood what she was talking about. It seemed that the pigeons over there had found something and now urgently needed to confirm it.

Qingyin quickly took the crystal ball and began to control the white dove in the distance, directing it to turn and search for the person Yuanxing had mentioned. However, even as the dove circled and ascended, zooming in to expand its field of vision, it still couldn't find the figure Yuanxing was referring to, making one unconsciously doubt whether Yuanxing had made a mistake.

Qingyin asked, "Are you seeing things? I don't see anyone at all."

Upon hearing this, Yuanxing hesitated, feeling somewhat uncertain.

But Lingling wouldn't do that. Lingling handed her phone to Qingyin. On the phone were five corporate mottoes that Lingling had created, the first of which was: Yuanxing is always right.

Qingyin muttered, "Lingling's five rules are not suitable as corporate training, but they are very suitable as teaching rules for instructors."
