The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 540 The Fox's Leisurely Daily Life

The night sky over Chengdu is filled with countless stars.

There is no moon tonight. Without the cover of moonlight, the stars in the sky twinkle brightly, quietly illuminating the entire city.

But what covered Chengdu was not just the twinkling starlight, but also a piercing alarm:

[Strange Person Alert]

[Strange Person Alert]

[A strange person has been detected in Hanjiang District. Please proceed to the nearest shelter immediately!]

Meanwhile, in a park in Hanjiang District.

The streets were eerily quiet. The once bustling park and surrounding streets were deserted, vehicles were scattered haphazardly around, and the surrounding buildings were all dark, with no trace of any passersby.

Besides the series of heavy impacts echoing through the park, it seemed to be conveying a horrifying truth.

Even the Hero Association outposts that should have been stationed nearby withdrew early on; no one dared to stay in this place for even a second longer.

"Hmph hmph hmph~ Wuhu~"

A soft, cheerful humming voice could be heard coming from an open space in the park.

There was no accompaniment; it was simply humming a little-known anime theme song, which blended with the sizzling sound of cooking, creating the only sound source in the park.

The little golden fox girl sat at the dining table, nibbling on a plate of cookies, her fox ears obediently turned towards the direction from which the sizzling sound was coming from:

"Splash!"

A handful of chopped bok choy was thrown into the pot and mixed with simply chopped barbecue bacon and ham. The cat girl skillfully grabbed the spatula and vigorously stir-fried it. Her tail hooked onto the seasoning bottle next to her, and she sprinkled a pinch of salt and MSG into the wok, then threw in a few crushed dried chilies.

With the spatula flying and the heat high to reduce the sauce, several plates of steaming hot barbecue fried rice were served.

"Phew, all done."

"Clap clap clap clap clap!"

The familiars brought the plates to the table, and Alice and Jack stared in astonishment, clapping their hands and muttering slang like "Good" and "Bang on."

"It smells so good." Alice was rather reserved, but the gleam in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"This is... the mysterious Chinese street food..."

Black Alice, who called herself Jack, opened her mouth wide and kept sniffing the aroma emanating from the barbecue fried rice, wishing she could grab a spoon and scoop a mouthful into her mouth immediately.

As for Fenrir and Cheshire Rabbit next to them—

"Awoo awoo awoo... Hmm—, Naoki, could I have some more chili powder?"

The pink-haired rabbit girl lowered her head and frantically shoveled food into her mouth, as the mountain city gray wolf said.

The fox girl smiled and took a sip of her drink. Only after the cat girl carried her own plate back to the table and sat down did she begin to wag her tail and savor the luxurious barbecue fried rice.

"Hehe, this is a must-have street food in the snack streets behind every university."

After popping a piece of savory, spicy bacon into her mouth, chewing it a few times, and swallowing it, the fox-girl smiled and said to Alice across the table.

This magical girl from England had clearly never eaten such authentic street food before. Her gaze shifted back and forth between the calm fox and the hungry rabbit scrambling for food, unsure which way of eating it was the right thing to do.

"Actually, the best way to eat it is to sit on a small stool by the roadside and dig it up," Fenrir said in an extremely down-to-earth manner.

But not far from this seemingly peaceful dinner scene, a completely different picture was unfolding:

"Bang!"

"BOOM!!"

A deep rumble echoed through the park.

The fox girl suddenly stopped wagging her tail and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

In the dimly lit park, a tall, dark figure could be vaguely seen lying on the ground. The shockwave, carrying dust, scattered in all directions, but was blocked by a magical barrier as it approached, and did not affect the barbecue meal.

"Wow... faster than I expected, Marigold is progressing very quickly."

Su Tianqing spoke up.

Nan Jiayu glanced back, then turned her head away, swallowed the food in her mouth, and nodded gently.

"Yes, the progress is indeed quite fast, but it feels like it's still lacking a bit of momentum."

"Hmm, if you say that, Kitty..."

Su Tianqing agreed with Nan Jiayu's sharp comments.

Marigold, panting heavily, raised her staff, remaining vigilant against the giant black shadow she had just defeated, not daring to relax for a moment.

Behind her, Hyacinth and the others floated in the air, while Nightingale replenished the Marigold's weakened enhancement magic and protective barrier. She remarked with a touch of melancholy to those around her:

"I didn't expect Marigold to actually defeat this weirdo. She's pretty amazing."

"……yes."

Hyacinth nodded gently, acknowledging the progress made by its junior, Marigold.

Then he turned to look at the Bernese Mountain dog girl who was being held by Bai Ling.

"Woof?!"

"Tian Nanxing, come back! Don't go near Xin Yuehu! We'll take you out for something delicious later!"

"Woof woof woof... But that barbecue rice over there looks really delicious, woof."

"You're not allowed to go!"

The white ferret fluttered her little wings and tried her best to pull Tian Nanxing back, successfully stopping the dog girl's treasonous behavior.

Only when the giant black shadow completely dissipated into magical particles did Marigold finally relax and wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Finally... we won..."

The girl let out a long sigh.

Before the sigh could even finish, a round of applause rang out not far in front of her:

"Pat-pat, pat-pat, pat-pat."

"Well done, a very beautiful fight, completely beyond my expectations."

Sitting on her wand, floating out of the teleportation spell, Heartmoon Fox clapped her hands and spoke to Marigold.

Appearing with her was a Hellcat wiping its mouth with a tissue. Hyacinth, as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly raised its shield to protect Marigold behind it, watching the cat and fox warily.

Su Tianqing smiled but remained silent.

[Task Completed: Daily Task 1]

[Testing the current strength of Marigold, 1/1]

Simple daily tasks have presented this fox with quite a challenge.

To this end, I specially created a strange character: his overall strength is not strong, just at the level where he is evenly matched with Marigold after receiving Nightingale's enhancement, but he has specially added customized abilities for other people.

[Physical resistance] and [Magic Cannon resistance].

Then, posting on social media, "If anyone other than Marigold defeats this monster, I will summon an even stronger one," will perfectly prevent the scene of Hyacinth overcoming physical resistance and slapping it to pieces.

"Heart Moon Fox! What exactly are you plotting?!" Hyacinth questioned.

"Hehe, you're still the same as before, Miss Hyacinth."

The fox girl said with a smile,

"You were having so much fun with me yesterday, and today you're turning your back on me? Isn't that a bit too fast?"

"One thing at a time! As long as you don't damage the city, we can still get along well." Hyacinth remained as righteous as ever.

The golden fox didn't answer, but just smiled and gave the space to the deep blue catgirl next to her, admiring the hyacinth's suddenly tense expression.

—My raid on this park today, besides fulfilling my daily quest, was primarily to confirm a new quest I obtained from the secret manual:

[Dandelion Quest, Side Quest]

Investigate the whereabouts of Akashi.
