Chapter 53 : Three Magical Girls and a Drama

Luo Shiyun was the epitome of a woman of action. Once her target was set, she could complete the mission cleanly within a single day.

Not letting a single living soul slip through.

After parting ways with Liu Junior and that loser, she immediately headed to a remote, deserted alley.

“Magic Gear Reconstruct!”

Alright, let’s see if she can find Liu Yuhan’s little sister.

Searching like she did at the White Night Castle was impossible. Jiangnan City was too vast, and if the police couldn’t get any leads from surveillance, then there was no way she could either.

Without knowing exactly where Yuhan’s sister disappeared, her Styx River power was like searching for a needle in a haystack—purely luck-based.

So she had to check block by block.

That was too exhausting.

While pondering, Luo Shiyun instinctively reached for her phone, and then a light bulb went off in her head.

Hey.

She had an idea.

Her ability wasn’t good for finding people, but her wife’s was.

The Thunder Electric Woman could turn the entire city’s power grid into her divine eye. At full strength, no clue could escape her magical sight.

But her wife was busy right now… She didn’t want to disturb her.

Forget it. A little hassle is better than doing nothing.

If she centered the search around Liu Junior’s residence, and could clear one block every ten minutes, then they might have a lead by tonight.

Just as Luo Shiyun was about to set off, a familiar yet strange sound came from nearby.

“Magic Gear Reconstruct!”

A magical girl?

Looking toward the golden light, Luo Shiyun’s expression turned surprised, and the other party also noticed Luo Shiyun.

“B-Bi An Hua? What a coincidence, yah hello! Good morning!”

“It’s night now.”

“Who cares? No difference. Why are you here? Did a monster show up?”

“…I’m just strolling around, patrolling in case a monster appears.”

That made sense. If a monster popped up during the search, she could kill it in one slash. If President Liu knew she was willing to do this unpaid overtime, she’d probably laugh in her sleep.

Thorn Rose stood with her hands on her hips, flicking her flashy golden bangs.

She did want to get to know Bi An Hua—a powerful warrior like her—but she had urgent matters to attend to.

To utterly defeat that bastard Luo Shiyun, she had to act fast, giving no breathing room.

There’s a saying: strategically, disdain your opponent; tactically, respect them.

Alice planned to start from Liu Junior’s place and check nearby blocks one by one. It would be tiring, but if it meant defeating Luo Shiyun, then the effort was worth it.

No way.

Alice suddenly turned to the white-haired magical girl before her.

She had an idea too!

If she could trick Bi An Hua into… inviting herself over for help, wouldn’t it be much easier?

Her eyes lit up instantly, sending a chill down Luo Shiyun’s spine at feeling so calculated.

“I didn’t expect Miss Bi An Hua to have such a strong sense of justice! I’m so touched. In that case, I, Thorn Rose, will lend you a hand!”

“That’s exactly my intention.”

Luo Shiyun thought the same—more people meant more strength. Since they were doing a city-wide sweep anyway, it was tough but the best solution.

Since Thorn Rose was so eager, Luo Shiyun accepted without hesitation.

“Magic Gear Reconstruct!”

Just as the two reached an agreement, a blue light blossomed behind them.

Another expert?

Looking into the depths of the alley, a magical girl clad in indigo stood with narrowed eyes, her aura exceptionally pure.

She looked surprised to see the two before her.

“Ah… Senior Bi An Hua, Senior Thorn Rose…? What a coincidence.”

“…Who are you?”

Alice pointed blankly at her.

This girl was likely a magical girl under the Association, but Alice was unfamiliar with the organization. Luo Shiyun, though affiliated with the Association, didn’t know many other magical girls either.

“I-I’m Daisy, from the Jiangnan City Association. I just became a magical girl last year!”

“Daisy, never heard of you, but you must be a very capable junior!”

Alice, always sociable, immediately put her arm around Daisy’s shoulder.

“I-I’m not that good… I’m actually pretty average.”

As for Luo Shiyun?

She lowered her gaze politely and made a rough estimation.

“Hmm…”

Daisy’s chest size was about the same as Liu Junior’s—similar in shape and volume.

But still not as excellent as her wife.

……

“Little Yi, Little Yi, what do we do now?”

Staring at the two monsters in the incubation pods, little Vita was at a loss.

Little Yi’s rented place was definitely full; she couldn’t involve her mom either.

“Their vital signs are stable, which is good, but the situation is similar to Flame—they’re all in a pretty tricky coma state.”

“Even if I tried, it wouldn’t be easy to handle.”

Through the pod’s shell, Yijinmo checked the frozen and ash monsters’ bodies.

Though their condition was bad, it was still better than Flame’s. Flame’s mind was a complete mess, as if smashed by some violent, irrational force.

“…Actually, there’s one place we can put them.”

That was Boss-chan’s place.

If she and Vita went over and clung to Boss-chan’s big white legs crying a bit, the tsundere Boss-chan would probably agree.

“What about the others? What do the white coats and security say?”

“Send them all to the Pleasure Street?”

“…Why drag Pleasure Street into this?”

“Obviously as punishment. Can’t let those bastards live so well. Besides, they’ll even give us a referral fee over there.”

“A referral fee too?”

The girl admitted, she was tempted for a moment.

But her conscience told her monsters shouldn’t be so cruelly treated—sin should be punished by the law.

“Ahem, Vita, your idea’s good, but we can’t be that unscrupulous. I think it’s best to call some magical girls over to clean up the mess.”

“Little Yi…”

“Then we can send them to Pleasure Street for a referral fee.”

“Yay!”

Just kidding. Why not earn some money? She wasn’t an idiot.

Whether it’s White Pleasure Street or Black Pleasure Street, as long as it let her little sisters live well, that was a good Pleasure Street gateway!

Consider it a contribution to the continuation of humanity—her team was truly great.

Yijinmo put her hands on her hips, proud of her own cleverness.

But before that, to prevent those scumbags from pulling tricks, she still needed to set some minor restrictions in their brains.
