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

Chapter 244 New ideas can emerge even in leisurely days

The next day, the sky was high and the air was crisp.

The abnormal weather caused by the volcano monster is gradually subsiding, and the weather in the port city has become cool again, making today's hiking plan much more comfortable.

Su Tianqing stood in the rest pavilion halfway up the mountain, leaning on the railing, gazing at the concrete jungle of the distant port city and the cargo ships coming and going in the trading port.

"Little Fish, look! That cargo ship is huge!"

"That's an ocean-going freighter. I heard it can cross several seas along the coastline and transport goods to the other side of the world."

"It's truly an industrial marvel."

The fox girl wagged her tail happily, the fluffy tail carrying a refreshing gardenia scent in the cool breeze, occasionally tangling with the taut cat's tail beside her, as if deliberately teasing her.

Nan Xiaofeng stood silently not far away, acting as the fox-sniffing monster, his face seemingly screaming, "Why aren't these two getting married yet?"

"Xiao Feng, are you... secretly watching Sister Tian Qing and Sister Jia Yu again?"

Hua Ling came over, handed the thermos cup in her hand to Nan Xiaofeng, and said with a smile.

"I wasn't peeking! I was... I was looking openly and honestly!" Nan Xiaofeng argued.

Nan Xiaofeng sipped the warm water from her thermos, shifting her gaze from the affectionate cat and fox to Hua Ling, and casually changing the subject:

"Luckily, the weather is relatively cool today, otherwise we probably wouldn't have enough water to drink."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can watch openly and honestly. So, Xiao Feng, do you think Sister Tianqing and Sister Jiayu had a good time in Gangcheng?" Hua Ling covered her mouth and chuckled.

"They must be having a lot of fun, look, they're still taking pictures."

Nan Xiaofeng pouted, but immediately noticed their matching phone cases.

The golden fox wrapped its arms around the cat girl's neck, snuggling close together affectionately, its fox ears and cat ears glued together, and gave the camera a cheerful smile.

The catgirl was clearly shy, but after all they had been through together, her posture was much more natural than before.

At least it won't get its tail held high because of these affectionate gestures anymore.

"Seeing how good their relationship is makes me feel better too," Nan Xiaofeng answered honestly.

I know Jia Yu very well.

Although she and Sister Jiayu were not related by blood, she had grown up with her and was no different from her own sister.

The only difference is that when I was little, I liked to pull her tail and play with it, and then she would beat me up, and I would also get a good scolding from my grandparents.

Before Jia Yu came to Chengdu to study, she wouldn't have been as carefree and cheerful as she is now. She always had an unapproachable demeanor when she was out in public.

Moreover, she has a very withdrawn personality; I've never seen her have any friends.

But this little fox only took a few months to transform the fierce Jia Yu into the lively girl she is today. It's truly a miracle worker, Dr. Fox!

Nan Xiaofeng felt a surge of emotion.

Sister Tianqing is not only understanding, but also very cute. She has a super fluffy tail, and every smile and frown of hers is captivating, even giving you a strange urge to get closer to her.

But her relationship with Sister Jiayu was perhaps even closer than she had imagined, and besides, she was Sister Jiayu's sister; there was no way she could be with her...

"Sister Tianqing, she is a very charming person."

Hua Ling suddenly spoke, her voice so soft that only Nan Xiaofeng beside her could hear her clearly.

"Xiao Feng, do you remember? Whenever we encountered hesitation or difficulties, we could always find a solution by going to her."

"Of course I remember, I've talked to Sister Tianqing several times too." Nan Xiaofeng nodded honestly.

I still remember it very clearly, especially the heart-to-heart talk during that exchange of merchandise, which strengthened my belief in being a magical girl named Hyacinth.

That means protecting your friends and cherished people, and protecting this peaceful and tranquil life!

"Speaking of which, there's supposedly a famous scenic spot on the mountaintop. What's it called again?" Hua Ling asked.

After watching the sweet interactions between the cat and the fox for a while, Nan Xiaofeng felt like his mouth was stuffed full of dog food. He swallowed the dog food by drinking a few sips of water and then answered Hua Ling's question.

"Inari Memorial Hall".

"A memorial hall? Why commemorate Inari?" Karin tilted her head curiously.

Nan Xiaofeng replied with a smile:

"Hehe...we'll go up and take a look later, then you'll know why."

……

The group arrived at the top of Victoria Peak.

What comes into view, besides the green belt on the mountaintop and the spacious plaza, is the building standing at the edge of the plaza—

The Hero Association logo, the Magical Girl Inari promotional sign, and a few scattered tourists coming and going—that's all there is to this simple building.

Inari's design is that of a red fox girl, and the standee shows her in her classic pose from her debut, lively and clever, just like a witty little fox.

"This is the memorial hall," Nan Xiaofeng muttered to himself.

"Hmm... judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to have anything special about it." Karin murmured to herself.

To be honest, even Nan Xiaofeng himself felt that the memorial hall was a bit too simple.

Who is Inari? She was once the veteran magical girl who single-handedly protected the port city. Although she has faded from people's sight after retiring, no one will forget her achievements:

The magical barrier she set up brought peace to the port city for more than a decade. No powerful monsters have appeared in the port city in all these years. Even if there are any, they are easily dealt with by the subsequent Aquamarine Squad.

Nan Xiaofeng felt that at least a marble statue of Inari should be given to make sense.

The group entered the memorial hall.

The interior is much more luxurious than the exterior, with countless exhibits showcasing the history of Inari.

"【Port City Defense Barrier】, that sounds amazing..."

Hua Ling looked at the explanation on the display board in surprise and said with her mouth slightly open.

As a newly minted magical girl enthusiast, Karin had never heard of Inari's incredible achievements and was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.

"I heard it prevented a powerful monster from being born in the port city; it's an incredibly powerful magic."

"That's right, it's because of this barrier that the port city has been able to survive for so many years. We have to thank Inari for their hard work!"

Nan Xiaofeng enthusiastically acted as Hua Ling's tour guide, and Lin Muyao also joined in the explanation. The two longtime fans spoke with great enthusiasm, even attracting the attention of curious tourists around them.

Compared to the excited Nan Xiaofeng and his friends, Su Tianqing was more purposeful and went straight to the glass display stand in the center of the memorial hall, which was encased in bulletproof glass.

The golden fox looked up and stared intently at the magnificent display stand that was being focused on by spotlights.

In the center of the booth, a gleaming golden cross stood prominently on a transparent stand, next to a fox mask, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"Guardian Star?"

Nan Jiayu followed the fox girl and asked curiously.

"That's Inari's guardian star, and also the fox mask she often wore when she was active as a magical girl," Su Tianqing replied.

This message came from the familiar.

What? What kind of reward?

Su Tianqing was momentarily stunned. She ordered her familiar to double-check the text on the secret manual. After confirming that she hadn't misread it, she looked at the fox mask with an even more eerie gaze.

A pleased smile suddenly appeared on the golden fox's lips.

Using a major heist as the opening act for this Hong Kong magical girl police thriller is truly...exciting.
