Chapter 357 The Siege of Alice's Nest
"Finally finished..."
Alice wiped the sweat from her brow, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the meticulously arranged scene before her with satisfaction.
The cat and fox stood beside her, looking at the scenery below with considerable surprise.
"Wow..." Xin Yuehu exclaimed.
"That's amazing!" Hellcat exclaimed.
This is the world of the mind, but unlike the previous zoo or Foxy City, it presents a magnificent view:
In the distance, towering buildings pierce the sky, and as far as the eye can see, there is an endless expanse of red desert. At your feet lies a massive steel complex, like a scene from some space opera.
"This is today's battlefield."
Alice nodded and said earnestly,
"This scene is called... [Nest City World], and it's the most versatile scene."
"I've heard of this; it appears frequently in that series," Hellcat chimed in.
Just as the catgirl was about to say something more, a commotion behind them caught the attention of the three of them.
Su Tianqing turned around and looked at Cheshire Rabbit, who was putting on pink power armor.
"Wow, it's more flexible than I imagined!"
The bunny girl poked her tiny head out from the huge power armor, her bunny ears standing up high, excitedly controlling the power armor to make all sorts of movements.
"Wow, is this the real thing?" Su Tianqing exclaimed in surprise.
"Actually, it's a replica made with magic, like a more professional cosplay."
Alice shook her head.
The golden-haired fox girl gained a completely new understanding of Alice's design and creative abilities.
As expected, I, the fox, should have personally taken care of her!
It would be a waste to let such a talented child with exceptional design and creativity fight with cats and rabbits!
It's fine to go out and have fun occasionally, but Alice's talent should be used wisely, and her true enjoyment will be discovered in the process!
……
The setting is complete, the game rules are set, all that's missing is the players entering the arena.
After dinner, at the entrance of a board game store in Chengdu's CBD, a golden-haired fox girl was controlling her familiars to set up posters and paintings at the entrance.
The poster was a promotional image for "Magical Girl 40k". Su Tianqing obtained the authorization from the original author herself and sent the original author a beautiful gift.
"Welcome, viewers, to FoxFox's strategy board game tournament!"
"I'm your favorite magical girl—Kokoro-no-Kou~"
Classic opening remarks.
The surrounding streets had already been evacuated, and only a few familiars with security cameras were filming the scene in front of the board game store.
The fox-girl magical girl stood at the door, introducing the New Year's event plan for tonight to the viewers in the live stream:
Have you all heard about the incredibly popular fan-made works on the forum?
"【Magical Girl 40k】! I only recently discovered this fan art, and it looks super cool!"
"So, I, Fox, had Miss Alice design today's New Year's event. If you all find it interesting, please give Alice a warm round of applause!"
The cat, rabbit, wolf, and Alice sat on a bench nearby, silently watching the golden fox girl interacting lively in front of the camera.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I still think Fox's professional skills are outstanding," Hellcat said.
"Yeah, not only is the show amazing, but there's also a mental world and weird magical props. I really don't know where Fox got all those little props," Cheshire Rabbit chimed in.
"...Maybe she's just born for this job?" Fenrir muttered to himself.
Alice remained silent, but the excitement and anticipation in her eyes were evident.
For her, magical girls should perhaps be as dazzling as this.
Or perhaps they're anticipating the public's reaction after their work is unveiled? Nan Jiayu made a few guesses, but couldn't know for sure.
.
As soon as a few streaks of flying magic appeared on the horizon, Hyacinth, as always, took the lead and rushed to the front. The hushed discussion among the crowd stopped, and they all looked at the people in front of them.
Hyacinth, iris, and nightingale—three familiar faces.
With the addition of the four girls, including Aki and Katsura, who came to provide support, the seven magical girls were all gathered together, making for a truly impressive lineup.
The live stream chat erupted in cheers, with the screen flooded with comments.
[Autumn Osmanthus! Autumn Osmanthus is here!]
I'll lick Qiu Gui's shoes!
【Use osmanthus powder to finish the flavor of shrimp heads】
Su Tianqing glanced at the soaring number of viewers and the flood of SC messages in the live stream, and her smile became even brighter.
"Thank you everyone for your special messages~ I need to talk to Ms. Qiugui and Ms. Fengxinzi right now, so I won't be able to respond to everyone's messages for the time being. I'll thank you all individually after the live stream ends~"
"So, what's next..."
The fox spirit removed the magical light barrier around her and focused the cameras on Hyacinth and the others.
"Miss Hyacinth has arrived as promised."
"Tell me, what are you planning to do today?" Hyacinth didn't charge forward with her classic lines like before; instead, she became more cautious.
Is it because he can't beat Xin Yuehu?
No, it's all because of the cat girl behind the fox girl, who had a kind smile on her face. She used her power to keep the hyacinth rooted to the spot and unable to move.
"Oh dear, didn't I already tell you? Tonight, we're all going to play a strategy game together in a harmonious atmosphere~"
The fox spirit winked charmingly, her smile sweet and obedient, leaving even the hyacinth somewhat taken aback.
But she quickly realized—when this fox makes that expression, it's definitely brewing something big!
Before anyone could react, a powerful burst of magic erupted from the center of Heart Moon Fox, instantly enveloping everyone!
"Oh no!" "This is Heart Moon Fox's barrier magic! Everyone, please be careful!"
Qiu Gui shouted loudly.
But it was too late to warn them; the world's most powerful magic descended, and the girls vanished in an instant.
[The World of Mental Imagery Unfolds]
next second.
The hyacinth snapped out of its brief daze, its mouth slightly agape, deeply shocked by the scene before it:
An endless red desert, a distant haunted city, fleets engaged in combat floating in the sky, and the earth beneath one's feet made of steel—all these combine to create an extremely awe-inspiring and magnificent landscape.
After a few seconds of silence, the hyacinth finally uttered a single word:
"……Wow."
Even the comments section was stunned by the scene before them, pausing briefly.
Then a barrage of comments like "[???]" and "Holy crap!" flooded the screen.
"This...this is...?"
The iris took a step back in alarm.
I have witnessed firsthand how the Mind World of Heart Moon Fox evolved step by step.
From the initial enclosed small rooms, to city parks or zoos that replicate the real world with slight modifications, and then to the Foxy City area a while ago, the progress has been rapid.
This clearly demonstrates that her proficiency in the world of mental images is rapidly increasing.
But I never imagined that just half a month later, when I entered the world of mental images again, it would be such a magnificent scene.
It's a giant alien city now, but what will it be like in the future? It makes one's imagination run wild.
"Welcome to Alice's Nest World! Magical Girls!"
"Isn't it amazing, everyone? This world was created by Alice! Let's all give Alice a round of applause and cheers for the map she designed!"
A hoarse loudspeaker blared overhead, and the image of Xin Yuehu appeared on the large screen, causing everyone to tense up.
The barrage of comments was as dense as rain.
Once the barrage of comments subsided, Xin Yuehu's figure reappeared on the screen.
"Now, Alice will explain the rules of today's game!"
"Alice! Go!"
Camera angle change.
A blonde magical girl appears in front of the camera, looking flustered, cautious, and sweating nervously.
"Ah... Hello everyone, I'm the creator of today's mental world... Magical Girl Alice... Waaah..."
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, just think of it as a chat with everyone~"
"Um."
Alice nodded vigorously, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, temporarily calming her nervous emotions.
"The familiar will distribute a chess piece military manual later. Everyone can choose the faction they want to use today and form a small army with a total score of 3000 points."
"After that, everyone needs to complete the tasks in the military manual, defeat the checkpoints and guards we have built, and then they can get the prizes prepared by Fox."
Camera angle change.
The prize is a huge painting depicting Emperor Heart Moon Fox seated on a golden throne.
"This is a limited edition wall hanging specially sponsored by the original author of this series."
"If you'd like, then come and challenge us!"
