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

Chapter 254 You Restrict Me While I Flank Behind You

Su Tianqing sat happily on the warehouse shelf, playing with a magical girl-themed doll in her hand.

The doll in my hand looked somewhat familiar—its pale yellow clothes and hair color were somewhat similar to a certain look of the nightingale.

"Hmm... There's even merchandise like this..." the golden fox muttered to itself.

Is this a limited edition doll from when Nightingale debuted?

But this style doesn't seem to sell as well as the formal dresses I designed for her. Look, they're all sitting at the bottom of the warehouse.

After playing with the doll for a while, the golden fox put it back in the cargo box, and thought about some things from the past.

Lin Muyao, also known as the magical girl Nightingale, is currently making steady progress.

Even as her two companions displayed the form of Starry Shadows, she did not stop striving and continued to try to improve her abilities, showing a significant improvement from her timid and hesitant demeanor when she first met her.

...Or perhaps this is her true personality, but because aphasia caused her to lose the ability to communicate with others, she appeared so gloomy in the past?

This steady and hardworking type, neither humble nor arrogant, is something I really like, even more than I care about Karin.

After all, Lin Muyao was a magical girl she had personally trained. Whether it was their acquaintance or her determination to protect her, it was all directed at her, which made Su Tianqing very reluctant to cause her any trouble.

Moreover, she was a moderator in the live stream, and he was always enthusiastic towards his fans; her performance today made him very satisfied.

Su Tianqing's gaze fell on the magical light screen that had unfolded in front of her.

The camera-wielding familiar is live-streaming the BOSS battle in the underground parking garage. The scene is intense, with the tracer trajectories of magical bullets weaving together.

The Hellcat, dressed in tactical gear, used the reinforced concrete pillars for cover and maneuvered nimbly. Its automatic rifle, fired from its shoulder, provided powerful firepower, and magic bullets whizzed past Hyacinth's face and body, forcing the latter to only dare to fire back during the gaps in the fierce fire.

As for Iris... her situation is even worse.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Again! Again!"

"...!"

The rhythmic, terrifying gunshots echoed through the garage, each blast sending powerful waves of sound through the space, even making Hellcat's ears tremble and its brow furrow.

The source of the loud noise was the terrifying hip-fired weapon in Cheshire Rabbit's hand: the KS23 shotgun.

The 23mm barrel unleashed terrifying firepower comparable to a machine gun, smashing the pillar where Iris was hiding into pieces. The girl huddled behind the pillar cover, trembling, unable to even retaliate.

"Crack!!"

"Oh my god, Bunny forced Iris to change cover with a grenade! The continuous shotgun fire is making life miserable for Iris!"

"Oh? Wait a minute, let's switch the camera to the other side."

Catching a fleeting glimpse of a pale yellow figure in the corner of her vision, Su Tianqing quickly switched the view.

Magical Nightingale, unaffected by the firepower, was slipping away from the shadows, hugging the front line, and heading towards the deepest part of the parking lot.

"While the hyacinths and irises distract the cats and rabbits, one of them can bypass the main force and launch a surprise attack from the rear. What an interesting tactic," Su Tianqing commented with a smile.

Nightingales' destination was the location of the barrier node in this underground parking garage, which they should be able to easily dismantle with their current magical power.

He didn't mind her dismantling the barrier nodes, or rather, letting them "dismantle" the barrier; that was his real purpose.

The so-called "bomb barrier" covering the entire port city doesn't actually exist, and the barrier node in this parking lot wasn't left by him either.

All the barriers were Inari's creations, sealing away everything she left behind in the port city for unknown reasons.

Su Tianqing tried to find the reason why Inari left these sealing barriers in the secret manual, but she couldn't find any clues no matter how hard she looked, so she had to focus her attention on the mission for the time being:

[Task: Inari Form]

[Collecting exhibits from the Inari Memorial Hall, 0/13]

This is the latest task I've received.

I think the author probably recently played some kind of mysterious mobile game, which is why they specifically designed these collection conditions.

"Want to unlock the new form of the Heartmoon Wand? I've scattered character fragments throughout the port city! Go collect them!"

—If the secret manual could speak, Su Tianqing thought it would most likely say something like this.

It would be too boring to run around the city alone, painstakingly dismantling barriers and collecting props. It would be better to make a police and gangster movie with exciting gunfight scenes like today's, and at the same time collect a lot of interesting shots for the Fox Fox movie.

Everyone had a great time. Look at the bunny's smile; it's so healthy!

[Shh...]

"...I'm in position. Shall we take action against Nightingale?"

A magical communication call came through, and Su Tianqing tilted her head to look at it before casually answering it.

The messenger was Fenrir, the little gray wolf who had recently joined the group. Su Tianqing was taken aback for a moment before remembering the task she had assigned to her:

They stood guard beside the barrier, pretending to stop anyone who came by, and then deliberately let them pass.

"Proceed according to plan. Remember, don't make it too obvious that you're faking it; don't let her realize you're faking it."

Ugh... this is way too hard...

Fenrir hesitated before she could say anything more, but the communication was interrupted by a series of explosions, and Xin Yuehu immediately turned her attention to the battlefield.

"Whoa! Bunny's going all out! Throwing all the grenades! Are you trying to wipe out Iris Flower completely?!"

"..."

The gray wolf girl silently ended the communication and focused her attention on the dimly lit corner of the parking lot ahead.

Calm down, Fei Yelan, calm down.

"Hiss... Huff..."

The girl took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and gripped the heavy automatic rifle in her hand tightly.

SCAR-H, heavy assault rifle.

Fei Yelan wasn't actually very interested in these weapons.

However, when he was robbing a bunker armory with Xin Yuehu, everyone else in the group was enthusiastically choosing their weapons. He felt embarrassed to spoil the fun, so he followed suit and chose this rather imposing rifle.

I wonder how I'm going to put on a show of being unable to defeat Nightingale despite my best efforts...

Or should I pretend to have a gunfight with her for a while?

But how do you fire this gun? Do you just pull the trigger? Do you need to disengage the safety?

"Clatter!"

A clear footstep brought Fenrir back to his senses.

The gray wolf girl suddenly looked up and met the gaze of the pale yellow girl who had rushed around the corner.

"Whoa?!"

Nightingale was terrified, completely unprepared for someone hiding here, and raised her Viktor submachine gun to fire!

A burst of magic bullets flew towards Fenrir, who was caught off guard and hit on the forehead by a bullet, falling backward.

"...Huh? Huh! Are you...are you alright?!"

Seeing the girl in front of him fall down after he shot her in the head, Nightingale was shocked and quickly went forward to check on her.

Fenrir stared blankly at the dark parking lot dome.

pain.

A dull ache and a sharp, stinging pain intertwined, spreading throughout the girl's body where she had been hit by bullets, causing her nerves to tremble slightly.

what……

This kind of pain...

So direct, so vivid, so... intoxicating...

Fenrir even smiled slightly, but when Nightingale approached with a worried expression, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to hit your head! Are you alright?"

"Hello? Miss Gray Wolf, can you hear me?"

"...Did she faint?"

Nightingale looked around with considerable worry, unsure of what to do. She could only put away the assault rifle that had fallen to the ground not far away and continue towards the barrier node.

The little gray wolf was left lying alone on the ground, savoring the continuous stinging pain.
