Chapter 349 You Have to Try Everything
"I'm asking you, Alice."
"Um."
Do you like magical girls?
"I like it very much."
"So, what do you find most appealing about magical girls?"
"Is it a beautiful formal dress, powerful magic and combat skills, a dazzling appearance like an idol, or a steadfast belief in protecting something?"
"Mmm..."
The blonde magical girl thought for a moment, then said softly:
"I think... a little bit of both."
"Looks like she's the kind of person who loves everyone," Su Tianqing said thoughtfully.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The villainous five were still enjoying their holiday, but Su Tianqing's plan to give Hyacinth and the others a holiday as well was interrupted by Aurora's targeted training:
That's right, my goal is to help Aurora grow quickly into a capable team member, and at the same time, to help her find enjoyment in daily activities and make it flourish.
"So today, Alice, why don't you follow the cat and try out the first kind of fun?"
"I call it—the joy of battle!"
[Quest Chain: Alice's Special Training]
[Task 1: Help Alice find enjoyment]
The secret manual provides a completely new quest chain.
It's hard to say whether this "Leziren Secret Manual" was planned or not, but in terms of the process of the quest chain itself and the generous rewards, Su Tianqing was quite fond of it.
However, the previous investigation task remains in place:
[Quest Chain 7: The Truth About the Ripper]
Investigate the bizarre man who had his chest opened, and assist in dealing with the evil spirit.
It seems the Codex won't grant itself the right to summon new monsters unless this evil spirit is completely eliminated. What a despicable Codex.
Well then, let's focus on the new task for now.
Alice's special training program starts with the cats!
……
"You've all worked so hard! I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way during the Lunar New Year holiday!"
"Of course, of course. Let's not set the building's damage level too high today. The cleanup team is still on holiday."
"Don't worry, I'll have the familiar repair the building properly afterwards."
Not far away, the golden-haired fox girl stood in front of two heroes on duty from the Hero Association, wagging her tail and acting cute as an apology.
They also slipped in two red envelopes and special badges as freebies, making the two field staff on duty a little embarrassed.
"Speaking of which, what about Miss Meteor and Miss Qiyun? Didn't they come over a few days ago? Why haven't we seen them lately?" Xin Yuehu asked curiously.
The two field staff smiled awkwardly and explained that it was a rotation schedule arranged by the association, so Fox Girl didn't pay too much attention to it.
In fact, the situation in the association's radio communications ten minutes ago was as follows:
Field Officer: [Report! Heart Moon Fox has appeared at Lengjiang District Sports Center! Requesting backup!]
Headquarters (Messiah's languid voice): [Heart Moon Fox? Didn't she say she wouldn't cause any trouble during the New Year? Is she just bored during the holiday?]
Field staff: [So... what should we do here?]
Headquarters: [(Rusting sound)]
Headquarters: [Let the on-duty field staff disperse the crowd; they'll know what they're doing. I'm going to sleep a little longer...]
Field Operations: [They really won't send S-rank personnel...]
Headquarters: [(The hissing sound of electromagnetic interference, the buzzing sound of psychic abilities)]
Headquarters (hijacked by [electromagnetic] radio):
【This is Qiyun. I'm busy today. The field team just needs to assign two quick-moving people to disperse the crowd. Pay special attention to persuading those who want to watch the excitement to leave; absolutely do not let them get near the sports center.】
If evacuation is truly impossible, seek help from Xin Yuehu; she will assist.
Field staff: [Received, Team A on duty will depart immediately]
The above is a transcript of radio communications between two staff members on duty during the Spring Festival.
While waiting for Fox to assist the Hero Association in evacuating the surrounding crowd, Hellcat looked at Alice, who was waiting beside her, and asked her:
"Alice, have you ever experienced a direct confrontation between magical girls before?"
"No," Alice answered decisively.
"I see... So you usually replenish your magic power like this?"
"Hmm... when that evil spirit is defeated, I feel my magic power being replenished."
"That is indeed a very peculiar characteristic," Hellcat nodded.
I've never seen a weirdo who can replenish his magic power on his own before. It seems that Tianqing was right. Investigating the Gutted Monster can indeed bring benefits in many ways.
It might even solve the magic supply problem for the villainous magical girls.
...No, is this really a good thing?
Thinking about how she usually replenished her magic, the catgirl blushed slightly and suddenly felt a subtle emotion.
But since I can't summon monsters, I can't replenish my magic power this way. It really has to be Fox.
This is absolutely not an excuse.
"Look over there, they're coming!"
Fenrir shouted, pointing to the trails of flying magic on the horizon.
The on-duty field heroes had already gone to evacuate the last group of people. Xin Yuehu returned to the group and looked at Hellcat and Alice.
"Well then, you're free to do as you please today!"
"Okay, I've got this covered!"
The catgirl confidently gave a thumbs up, and the rabbit girl also showed her signature crescent smile after a long time, looking forward to what was to come.
Fenrir, however, could only droop its wolf tail helplessly and sigh.
……
The magical girl, Dongqing, was currently gripping her magic wand tightly, floating side by side in the air with her companion, Chunlan.
The two looked extremely tense, especially when they saw the three orc magical girls standing side by side on the ground, which intensified their tension.
"Hellcat, Cheshire Rabbit, and Fenrir..."
Holly muttered to herself,
"Haven't Hyacinth and the others arrived yet? Chunlan, should you urge them?"
"I think it's already quite kind of them that the Hellcats didn't pounce on us," Chunlan replied softly.
Spring Orchid and Holly, members of the Autumn Osmanthus Team.
Since Captain Qiu Gui fought five opponents single-handedly at yesterday's concert and was in poor condition afterward, Dong Qinglan will be in charge of supporting the Hyacinth Squad in dealing with the monsters today.
However, the two were not used to the responsiveness of Hyacinth and the other two. They rushed over at the same speed they had in the mountain city, only to find themselves looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Why are you two here first? Where are Hyacinth and the others?"
The Hellcat flew into the sky, and Dongqing and the other two were on high alert, but fortunately the cat girl did not rush forward to fight, but only calmly asked questions.
"Wind and Hyacinth are a little slow, it'll probably be a while before they arrive..."
"Fool!"
Chunlan answered honestly, but Dongqing slapped her on the shoulder, and she realized with horror what she had said.
But Hellcat was only taken aback for a moment, then smiled and turned to look at Alice hiding behind her.
"Look, Chunlan and the other girl made a big mistake. They easily revealed the true situation of the battle to us. You must pay attention to these subtle clues during the battle."
"Hmm... (taking notes)"
Alice nodded obediently in response.
Chunlan and the other woman didn't know what to say, nor did they know what the other woman was up to, so they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Alice, before Hyacinth and the others arrive, would you like to practice with these two?"
As if he had just thought of something, Hellcat said.
"Okay, I'll give it a try first."
Chunlan and the other woman were both stunned.
Their first instinct was to run away, but faced with Hellcat's kind smile, they had no choice but to steel themselves and confront Alice.
Alice's first battle has begun!
