Chapter 386 A Heart Yearning for Relief
Isara Carter.
The true form of the magical girl, Fubuki.
As a magical girl from London who traveled all the way to arrest Jack the Ripper, Isara had done her homework in Chengdu beforehand.
But once she arrived here, Isara realized that she was seriously behind in her studies.
The Heart Moon Fox was not as ferocious as rumored. The claim that "the Heart Moon Fox caused enormous damage to the city" was told in a completely different way by the people of Rongcheng:
"Heart Moon Fox? I know her. I met so many cosplayers of hers at the last anime convention. They were super cute."
"Last time she exposed a shady factory. When the Hero Association was doing renovations, they discovered that the factory had been falsifying documents for a long time. It's said that the owner is already in jail."
"She even defeated the strange wild creature that appeared at my doorstep. Thank you, Fox!"
Isara silently scrolled through the mobile forums, lost in thought.
On the most popular forum in the magical girl community right now, 【Magical☆BBS】, there is a post with extremely high popularity titled 【Is Kokoro, who claims to be a villain, really a villain?】
The post was full of comments like the one above.
"...But no matter what, we cannot tolerate Xin Yuehu's wanton destruction of the city."
Isara said to her companion,
"Although she did stop the monster's attack on Rongcheng, if she continues to act recklessly like this, sooner or later she will cause very serious consequences, just like other villainous magical girls."
"Just like the oleander back then."
The companions exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat troubled, and could only bury their heads in their food.
Oleander's rampage due to a lack of magic caused a massive accident with many casualties, and she herself disappeared for many years until recently reappearing.
Although everyone felt that this matter couldn't be generalized, it was, after all, the captain's casual chat time during mealtime, so they still had to give her some face.
Otherwise, I'll just keep nagging for ages.
"But then again, we've been in Chengdu for a few days now. What do you think is the best food here?"
The girl with brown curly hair suddenly spoke, breaking the brief silence.
"Me? I went to Jiaozhou City this morning. The sweet-skinned duck and pot-boiled chicken there are super delicious."
"And oranges, so sweet and big!"
"I've heard that the peaches in Jianzhou City are delicious, but it seems like it's not peach season right now..."
Everyone immediately started chattering, and Isara also talked about the delicious fried skewers and hot pot she had eaten that day with great interest.
The lion spirit, sitting on the windowsill sipping a Coke, couldn't help but chuckle. Looking back at the commercial street outside the seafood and steak buffet, he couldn't help but sigh:
Although they've experienced a lot, they're still just children after all.
But Isara's deep obsession with Jack the Ripper is surprising... As a stargazer, the lion spirit is a little worried about her future.
For a magical girl, having a deep obsession is not a good thing.
Obsessions are projected onto her by astral magic, and when an obsession becomes too strong, it can even engulf her, forming what is known as the "Starry Shadows".
"Sigh..." The stargazer sighed.
We need to find a way to dispel Isara's obsession.
But what can I, as a stargazer, do for her? It seems like there's nothing I can do.
"...?"
Suddenly, the commotion from the shopping street outside the window caught the lion spirit's attention.
As the stargazer drank his cola, he looked up at the area where the commotion had occurred. After looking around, the lion suddenly froze, choking on his cola.
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
"Meilin? What's wrong?"
Hearing the violent coughing coming from the window, Isara and the others looked up in unison and said with concern.
"No...cough cough...oh no, please don't come any closer!"
The lion elf quickly enhanced its perception-concealing magic, enveloping the entire room, and stared in horror at the golden figure waving to the crowd in the distance.
impossible……
Is that Xin Yuehu over there...? How could she possibly know that Fen Feng is here?
Upon hearing what Merlin said, the four members of Fenfeng could no longer sit still. They rushed to the window and peered out through the barrier, and sure enough, they saw the small golden figure.
"...Heart Moon Fox? What's she doing here?"
Isara said, puzzled, and thought about the whole process of her taking the subway to this shopping street. After making sure that she could not be followed, she turned her gaze to her teammates.
The three shook their heads vigorously.
Without transforming, the Cognition Masking Magic will firmly protect the true form of all magical girls, preventing them from being recognized by anyone!
Why did Xin Yuehu find this place so accurately? Was it just a coincidence? Or...?
"Miss Fenfeng—, I know you're here—!"
The sound of a magic trumpet rang out from afar.
This loudspeaker has a unique feature: as long as it is within its effective range, everyone will hear the same volume, regardless of distance.
"Let's go to the nearby wetland park later! Let's play together!"
"Oh, dear fans and viewers, please don't go to the wetland park to watch the excitement later~ You might get politely asked to leave by the Hero Association~"
Upon hearing this, Isara's eyes twitched violently.
If it were just Xin Yuehu inviting me to play, I might have gone to the meeting with some caution.
After all, this fox-girl magical girl is known for being responsive to kindness but not force. As long as you treat her well and gently, she will definitely treat you with the same or even more gentle attitude.
But the dark blue catgirl next to her was different; she was the type who wouldn't listen to reason and would only be swayed by a fox's tail.
"...What was this called again? The Feast at Hongmen?"
"It's a trap, isn't it?"
"Even if we know it's a trap, can we really refuse to go?"
...
This is what a calculated strategy looks like.
No matter how hard you struggle, you must deal with the schemes the other party throws out, even if you know it's a trap, you still have to deal with it.
"How have you all been doing in Chengdu these past few days?"
In Rongcheng Wetland Park, Su Tianqing sat leisurely by the pond, admiring the moonlight. She turned to look at Fenfeng not far away and asked a question.
The reddish-brown magical girl was also sitting on a small fishing stool by the pond.
Fenfeng didn't have a fishing rod in his hand; he just silently watched the ripples spreading across the water and the moon shimmering in the light.
She couldn't help but glance at the two people beside her.
Hellcat sat beside the fox girl, basking in the starlight, and casually combed the fluffy fox tail in his arms with a brush.
It's hard to connect her like this with the berserker, double-fisted cat from last time.
"...It's alright, there's a lot of good food here." After a brief silence, Fenfeng replied calmly.
"Really? Alice told me the same thing. She said there's so much delicious food here that she can't possibly eat it all." The fox girl chuckled softly.
“…………”
Fenfeng did not respond.
His three companions were observing fireflies not far away, discussing enthusiastically the principles behind their bioluminescence.
The fox girl and the cat girl sat side by side, admiring the moon and chatting. The peaceful scene made him feel uneasy.
What about the world of the mind? What about the strange man? What about the witch? Why is it that we're just casually appreciating the moon?
Where was the trap I imagined? Where was the ambush? Where were the assassins lurking in the shadows?
None of these exist; only the bright moonlight before my eyes.
"What an unpredictable opponent," Fenfeng thought to himself.
.
Seeing the hesitant look in Fenfeng's eyes beside her, the golden fox smiled with pleasure.
This was one of his plans:
Before officially implementing Wang Xiaowang's magical girl belief plan, it is necessary to ascertain just how deep Fenfeng's obsession is and avoid all the pitfalls that can be avoided.
This way we won't repeat the mistakes made by the iris.
"Miss Fenfeng, did you come to Rongcheng specifically to arrest Alice?" Su Tianqing didn't beat around the bush anymore and asked directly.
Without hesitation, Fenfeng nodded in agreement.
"right."
"I must arrest her; it has been my lifelong wish."
"I see... Although I've already talked about Alice before, I still want to talk to you about it again. I'm sorry if this bothers you," Su Tianqing continued.
"...I know what you want to say, Miss Xinyuehu."
The girl lowered her head, her eyes seemingly focused on the moon on the water's surface, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.
"Alice...she might have been framed, but if I just let it go, how can I face those who died because of Jack the Ripper?"
"Meilin has told me many times that I can no longer let my inner obsession grow wildly, as it may bring great danger to the people around me."
"So no matter what, I have to find her and get to the bottom of this."
"Only when I see it with my own eyes and hear it from her own mouth can I let go of this obsession in my heart."
After speaking, Fenfeng turned to look at the cat and fox, her eyes seemingly conveying the heavy psychological burden she had accumulated over time.
Hellcat remained silent, and Burning Wind did not continue speaking. Only the fox girl smiled helplessly and looked up at the starry sky.
"I see."
"Well then... good luck, Miss Fenfeng."
