Is it only magical girls?

Hong Shi was clearly just getting started. She whispered in Yuan Xing's ear, "Our family only has one precious disciple, you know. If you run off to another family, then our family will have to disband. Yuan Xiaoxing, you have to stay with me forever, and we'll be master and disciple for life."

Yuanxing felt like she was about to fly. She even felt a little dizzy and lightheaded, like someone who was drunk and was shaking her head. But that didn't stop her from stammering, "Then I want it in the next life too."

"Wouldn't you like to be a senior or junior in your next life?"

"No."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want it, then you don't want it."

Danmu was extremely excited, so much so that she cheered, "Happy End! Happiness and joy are the ending! Let's cheer for them!"

In an instant, the surroundings were bathed in dazzling light. Yuanxing found herself seemingly on some kind of stage, surrounded by restaurant patrons, as if everything they had just done had been witnessed. Even for Yuanxing, this felt completely beyond her capacity to bear, and she wished she could disappear into the ground and cease to exist.

But when she looked at Hongshi, whom she was holding, she felt that the world was so wonderful that it would be better to just live a good life.

Miss Hongshi was worldly-wise and didn't care at all about being surrounded by people. She even calmly threatened, "If I hear anyone gossiping, I will kill everyone here. I hope you understand."

"That's exactly what I want to hear!!!"

The spectators inside the club cheered.

This piqued Yuanxing's curiosity, and she leaned closer to Hongshi to ask, "Are they all Master's friends?"

"No, but a few of them were from the resistance, and I reckon most of them were."

Hongshi didn't care much about who was there; she was more concerned about Yuanxing's side: "When do you plan to put me down?"

Yuanxing's answer was without the slightest hesitation, only 100% firm: "I plan to keep holding on until my master and I turn against each other, and I run away with my tail between my legs using teleportation."

Is this a provocation to get Qi ErsanO to delete something?!

Hongshi initially didn't care, but now she does. She just keeps letting Yuanxing hold her and see how she lives.

"I'm not going to run away. I'll just stay here and see what you do next."

"I don't know what to do either, but Master, you're so light. Even for your size, you're a bit too light. Have you been eating properly every day? If you keep not eating properly, I feel like I should move in and watch you eat properly every day."

Yuanxing's natural request to live together was naturally met with a cold refusal: "Are you the master or am I the master? Why are you interfering with me?"

Yuanxing didn't argue. She carried Hongshi off the stage and refused to let go until it was her turn. She was now regretting that she should have learned the magic called "Holding Hands".

But it's not too late now. You can ask now; there will always be opportunities like this.

"Master, that Thousand Hands magic you told me about before, I think it's really powerful! Can you teach me?"

Hong Shi revealed a very smug expression: "I told you a long time ago that magic is very powerful. You even said you were ugly and refused me back then. You'll stay overnight at MomoMo tonight, and I'll teach you when we get back to MomoMo."

Times have changed. Back then, we didn't learn it because we didn't know what the Thousand Hands technique was for. Now we learn it because we know that holding hands will be very useful. It's no use not learning the Thousand Hands technique, because only the Thousand Hands technique can solve the problem encountered by the distant stars.

"Good."

Yuanxing placed Hongshi on the chair as she spoke.

Hong Shi sensed his victory and raised an eyebrow at Yuan Xing triumphantly.

As dusk settled back onto the ceiling, she began to dance again, singing a provocative song entirely different from before: "I know I am what you desire, I know you are what I need. So sweet, so vibrant, so wonderful, let me taste you again, let me experience your allure. Come, tame me, let me be your pet, at your mercy."

Chapter 243 Two, Four, Three, Thousand Chan, do you really know everything?

In order to deal with the lord monsters who wanted to join MoMoMo, the Starlight Magic Company held an internal meeting again on the second day. This time, unlike the previous meeting, all MoMoMo members participated. The general plan was in place, but the specific implementation plan naturally needed to be discussed with everyone before it could be put forward. After all, MoMoMo itself was a loose club system, and even though it had achieved the merger through brainwashing and other unorthodox methods, it still hadn't changed its operating methods.

Of course, the main reason for not changing the operating method is the club owner's laissez-faire strategy. She said that either Starlight should manage it, or a council should be formed, just don't ask her to manage things.

Farstar briefly tried the second option, but she quickly realized it wouldn't work. The magical girls belonging to MomoMomo were used to being free-spirited, and one or two of them, following the club owner's temperament, had absolutely no interest in the council. However, the magical girls belonging to the former Paradise were extremely interested, and one or two of them couldn't wait to join. As for the magical girls belonging to the former Asaka, they thought this was terrible, absolutely impossible, and that they might as well just explode with them. This made Farstar deeply understand why her master had run away.

Fortunately, Yuan Xiaoxing clearly knows that she is just an ordinary magical girl. She equally delegates the management work to everyone, so she doesn't feel too much pressure. She doesn't have any of those thoughts like "I'll kill you all today," "I'll fight all of humanity tomorrow," or "I'll blow up the Earth the day after tomorrow."

The strategic communication went quite smoothly. After all, both Paradise and Dawn were brought in as a whole, and the operations department was largely preserved to handle such unexpected situations. After Starlight presented the basic strategy, the operations conference room smoothly supplemented the plan in various ways and perfected the entire operation. They just need to rest and recuperate for a day tomorrow before starting the operational plan the day after.

After the strategic meeting ended, Otori blocked Tousei's path and asked, "Tousei-neechan, do you have time today? Mom said she wants to see you."

Oh right! I think we did talk about that before!

Yuanxing tapped his head: "Sorry, I've completely forgotten everything."

Otori was incredibly understanding: "I understand, after all, being affectionate with your loved one is the most important thing! But Mom said it's very important to see you, so she asked me to bring you directly there."

Yinli turned around and grabbed Qingyin, saying, "Qingyin-neechan, why don't you come with us? It seems like Yuanxing-neechan is often lost in thought, so she needs someone who isn't so unrestrained to help her remember things."

This child is so eloquent; she describes not listening to others as being lost in thought or unrestrained.

Qingyin was forcibly dragged outside, somewhat confused: "Why do I have to come with you?"

"I feel very close to Qingyin-neechan, and I want to spend more time with you."

"That's wonderful!" Yuanxing chimed in from behind, "Qingyin-jie must be especially happy to be liked by such a cute little sister!"

Qingyin glanced at her sideways, completely ignoring Yuanxing.

Judging from the results, two people were actually enough. Apart from Qianchan, none of the other companions had any intention of going with them.

The Yinli and Lingling families are somewhat similar; both are exquisite villas with elegant exteriors and gardens. However, Lingling's garden is wildly untamed, while Yinli's garden is meticulously maintained. The garden, filled with fragrant lilacs, is unmistakably luxurious. In this early winter season, the lilacs, which should be spring flowers, are still blooming. It's easy to imagine the immense effort the owners have put into cultivating these out-of-season lilacs.

The lilacs reminded Yuanxing of yesterday's experience; the garden that Danmu had taken her to seemed to be entirely covered in lilacs.

"You've arrived? Welcome! I've been wanting to see you for a long time."

Amidst enthusiastic greetings, the woman in purple pushed open the door. Yuanxing clearly remembered her appearance, for the person before her was none other than Danmu. Although her attire was different from yesterday—very casual home clothes—she could still recognize her by her appearance.

"what!"

"Hmm, it's me." Danmu said, "I heard before that Sister Hongshi had taken on a new apprentice, and I also heard from Yinli that she had asked you to investigate me, so I was thinking of meeting her. I didn't expect that Sister Hongshi would bring you to see me before I met you." She explained briefly, then ended the conversation and took a few steps back to invite Yuanxing in: "Let's talk about other things after we come in. I didn't have time to get to know you yesterday."

There was only Danmu in the hall; it seemed that Yinli's mother, Qingyin's mother, was not at home.

Danmu said, "This might bother your companions, so I tried to get them away."

As he spoke, Danmu's gaze was completely focused on Yuanxing, looking her up and down: "So cute, you really should forget about the Crimson World and become my disciple."

"No way, I already said yesterday that I want to be your disciple for life."

"Yes, yes, that's what I'm really confused about." Danmu leaned closer and pressed, "What exactly does that mean? Why do you have to be disciples for life? Usually, your relationship will go further, right? How can you still be disciples then? Don't you have any plans to take your relationship further? I really wanted to know what that meant yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to ask because of work, so I specifically asked Yinli to bring you here today."

Um? Um? !

So you specifically asked me to come here just to ask this? It wasn't for any particular reason, just to ask this?

Yuanxing had many little question marks in his head.

That must be because of a sense of immorality.

Qingyin knew the answer to the question very well; she almost blurted it out, but she held back.

What's even more absurd is that even Otori knows the answer to this question: "Mom is so stupid. She must want to be a disciple for life because she wants to maintain the teacher-student relationship. If she weren't a disciple, she wouldn't feel that sense of immorality."

"Doesn't that mean?" Danmu shook his index finger excitedly, "You're the one who's like this?"

Yuanxing had no idea about this, and before she could even speak, Qianchan covered her eyes. Qianchan said very seriously, "Yuanxing, don't look, you'll go blind."

Qingyin had noticed this when Miyou mentioned it before, and now she noticed something else again: "Qianchan, you really know everything..."

Qianchan turned her head away from Qingyin, pretending she hadn't heard anything, determined to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.

Seeing that one of her companions genuinely didn't understand and the other was pretending not to, Qingyin felt it was necessary to continue the conversation, mainly because she really wanted to say, "After all, it's Xing Shi."

"really?"

Danmu was so excited he almost wanted to jump up: "The transcendent, natural, gentle, and solitary savior, the iron-blooded, cold-blooded, bloodthirsty, and bloodless tyrant, is now being overthrown by his disciple. Just thinking about that scene makes me feel blissful."

【Blessed! ! ! 】

Many sounds rang out inside the house; they were clearly the cheers of the elves.

The room was filled with cheerful laughter, but Yuanxing was speechless. She had originally thought that the elves were born this way, but now she thought that the elves might have learned this from magical girls from several generations ago.

Chapter 244 After I found out you were this person, I wasn't so worried anymore—

After the laughter subsided, Danmu adopted a more formal tone: "Besides the gossip we just discussed, I invited you here for another reason, and it's something very important I want to tell you."

"Ok?"

“Normally, I shouldn’t be needed for this kind of thing, but not long ago a silly kid wished for a world cycle, and I felt that there must be some idiot who has completely forgotten what he is supposed to do.”

Yuanxing immediately retorted, "It wasn't me who made the wish, nor was it because Sister Hongshi didn't do a good job. It must have been someone from the Paradise who did something bad."

"Yes, it must have been the stupid master and apprentice from the amusement park who did something foolish."

Danmu continued, "You are a supernova, and it shouldn't be long before you become part of the Eighth Generation. That's why I'm communicating with you as a symbol of the Eighth Generation. In your opinion, what are monsters? Are they bad things?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean, but I remember Anlian saying that magical girl stories need villains, and monsters are the villains in the story. Without villains, there is no story, so monsters are very important. She even upgrades monsters to increase the difficulty. Witches are something she created."

Danmu nodded: "That's what monsters mean to magical girls, but in reality, monsters also have their value to humans. Monsters are the embodiment of human evil thoughts, meaning that as long as there are evil thoughts, monsters will be born. To put it another way, without monsters, would humans not have evil thoughts?"

"There must be some, right?"

"Yes, if there were no monsters, humans might do bad things on their own. Monsters are evil thoughts that humans have eliminated. Monsters are essentially the garbage that humans have eliminated, and they cannot be eliminated by any means."

Yuanxing said thoughtfully, "Your statement makes me feel like magical girls are cleaning ladies. You've shattered all the fantasy."

"Magical girls are great, and so are janitors."

"But why is Qi Erchan telling me this?"

"It's nothing. I'm just worried that my master is stupid enough to forget to tell you these things, and that you're also stupid enough to try to coexist peacefully with monsters, or try to completely exterminate monsters, and then do some things that will have unpredictable consequences in order to achieve your goal."

"I'm just an ordinary high school girl. Why should I do something like peacefully coexisting with monsters and completely eradicating them to bring about peace? It doesn't feel like something an ordinary person like me would do. It's more like..."

“Hmm,” Danmu nodded, “Your master has a history of such behavior, so I’m giving you a heads-up beforehand: don’t become like her. Of course, you’re a new generation magical girl, so what’s a completely different world to your master is perfectly normal to you. I was worried you’d be influenced by her and want to change the world back to its original state like she did. If you had that thought, your master would inevitably join in the commotion. I don’t know why, but since she stepped down, her magic has surged, making her much more dangerous than before. But you—”

She formed a circle with her left thumb and forefinger, then dipped her right forefinger into the circle and shook it repeatedly: "But after I knew you were this one, I wasn't so worried anymore—"

"do not look!"

Qianchan hurriedly raised her hand to cover Yuanxing's eyes. She turned to Danmu and said, "Don't do things that are inappropriate for children. Besides, Yinli does them too, and she's still a middle school student!"

Yuanxing, whose eyes were covered, didn't struggle. She simply imitated Danmu's gesture and asked, "So what exactly is this gesture? What does it represent?"

"Yuanxing, don't do that."

Qianchan covered her eyes with one hand and grabbed Yuanxing's hand with the other, trying to stop Yuanxing from doing that. But Yuanxing didn't give up, and Qianchan couldn't control both of her hands with just one. So Yuanxing used one finger to squeeze through the gap between Qianchan's hands, and when it couldn't get in, she twisted her finger, forcing it in.

Qingyin watched with amusement, even making sarcastic remarks: "Qianchan is so tight."

Qian Chan was confused: "Huh?"

When Qingyin saw that Qianchan didn't understand, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was right that she didn't understand; it would be too terrible if she did.

Danmu was quite understanding. She sat down next to Qingyin very kindly and put her arm around Qingyin's shoulder: "What a good girl. My Yinli's grades are really troubling me. She's always among the bottom few. Although magical girls don't care much about grades, you can't fail no matter what. Otherwise, your only job in the future will be to become a host at our shop and deceive girls."

What kind of job do you do?! No, what kind of shop do you run?!

"So, Yinli, can you do me a favor? Your grades are pretty good, so you could be my Yinli's tutor and help her improve her grades."

"yeah!"

Oto was overjoyed and immediately hugged Aone: "Please take good care of me, teacher!"

It was hard for Qingyin not to overthink, especially since the term "teacher-student relationship" had only recently come into use, making her particularly sensitive to the word "teacher." Moreover, having recently told numerous risqué jokes with her fingers, she was now also extremely sensitive to the word "instruction." She actually wanted to refuse, but refusing seemed unreasonable. She didn't want to disappoint Yinli, and she certainly didn't want her to become a male escort, so she could only nod in agreement.

Danmu was satisfied with the answer and then brought up another matter: "By the way, you're going to fight the airship monsters later, right? How do you plan to get there?"

"Fly over there?"

"Flying there must take a lot of effort, right? Here's a little gift for you."

Danmu placed a small boat in Qingyin's hands, saying, "This ancient relic can fly. You can use it to deal with the airship monsters. Since it's a gift, you don't need to return it afterwards."

Qingyin, feeling dizzy as she held the small boat, didn't know whether to refuse or accept it. Refusing, given the context, meant it was a gift for Yuanxing, and she had no right to refuse. But accepting it also seemed wrong. Right, now was the time to escape, for example, by handing the boat over to Yuanxing. Then, no matter what the choice was, it would be Yuanxing's.

Yuanxing looked at the small boat that Qingyin had given her. Although she knew it was a gift from Danmu to Qingyin, she didn't return it to her immediately. Instead, she asked, "This is too valuable. It doesn't feel right to accept it so hastily."

"It's alright, we'll have Hongshi return the favor to Yinli later."

This mother is so shrewd, and her plan is brilliant. She gives her stepdaughter a gift, and then has her master give her a gift in return, making a profit from both sides.

Based on the fundamental principle that what's mine belongs to my master, and my master belongs to me, Yuan Xiaoxing really wanted to refuse this unprofitable deal: "Madam—"

Danmu patted Yinli: "Can you take care of this child? Let her join your Starlight. Don't worry about her safety. I will prepare the necessary tools to ensure her safety."

In that case...

Aone's is mine, and Otori's is also mine. If we calculate it this way, no matter who loses, I'll still make a profit in the end.

Yuanxing thought about it and felt it was a good deal and acceptable. Although her master would suffer a loss, it didn't matter. She could give herself to Hongshi as compensation.

Chapter 245 Don't do things like that!

All the topics that needed to be discussed had been covered, and Danmu had no intention of keeping Yuanxing and Qianchan with her. Qingyin, however, was kept behind, with the excuse that after-school tutoring would begin today. Of course, Yuanxing knew exactly what she was planning.
