On the light rail heading to Huahai City.
“Wow… no wonder it’s Youyou, this is just too much, isn’t it?”
Liyun stared at the photo on her phone screen, her hand covering her eyes and refusing to move away.
Because Luo You had come to her house as a guest before, by chance, she started following Luo You’s account.
Luo You knew about this since she had recommended it to her.
These past few days, she had browsed through every tweet Luo You had posted before, all kinds of posts like ‘About to be pounced on by Big Sister?’ or ‘Fell into Big Sister’s trap!’ and so on.
Although Liyun knew these were all fabricated by Luo You herself, she couldn’t help but wonder—if all of these really happened, then the reincarnation of Ereira wouldn’t be much different.
“I wonder if Youyou will ask me to help post tweets again this time?”
Liyun recalled the experience of cooperating with Luo You to take photos and post tweets before, her face blushing and heart racing at the memory.
The poses and scenes were just too thrilling.
After all, having someone to take photos beside you gave more freedom in posing, so however Luo You seduced her back then—
It was tough for Liyun.
A little firecracker posing in front of her, and this little firecracker looked so much like the Ereira she dreamed of avenging.
Liyun’s fingers twitched stiffly but she couldn’t really do anything.
After all, resorting to meal replacements was the most self-degrading behavior!
If you’re going to eat, eat a proper meal!
“Youyou lives in Huahai City. If I have time, should I go visit her? But if I do, I might easily run into Luo Zining.”
Liyun didn’t want to meet Luo Zining, or rather, she didn’t want anyone besides her sister to know about her existence.
Even Ji Yue didn’t know that besides Ji Meng and Luo Zining, she had a niece.
“Maybe I should just invite her out.”
Liyun settled on a plan and began thinking about how to get Luo You out.
Though she wasn’t truly afraid—just a spark from her finger could put out a fire like this—there were too many people around and the risk of exposing her identity was real.
Hmm… better to escape the fire scene quickly.
It wouldn’t look good if her daughter had to come rescue her later.
But the most important thing was still—
“I spent six thousand on these stockings, aaaaah!!”
Luo You wailed in pain.
Amid the cacophony of cries for help in the burning building, her shout was uniquely distressing.
Though the fire hadn’t reached her body, staying in a fire with high heat and thick smoke for even a moment could ruin those stockings beyond wear.
No, I have to take them off and stash them in my pocket now!
As Luo You thought this, a sudden surge of magical energy swept in from outside, flooding the corridor with dense white mist.
It wasn’t liquid water but a massive volume of vapor—so much that it could be likened to a flood, strong enough to sweep people away.
But instead of pooling, it filled the entire hallway as a gas state, possessing extinguishing power far greater than ordinary water, quickly bringing the fire under control.
Soon after, a violent wind swept through, blowing the toxic smoke out and clearing the view, opening an escape route.
“There may still be unknown dangers. Everyone please evacuate quickly and orderly!”
Liyun flew in, rescuing those trapped one by one.
Fortunately, no one was pinned under debris and there were no casualties.
She easily got everyone out.
But when rescuing the last person, she froze in place.
It was a girl.
Amidst the extinguished fire scene, her face remained exquisitely pale as snow, her stockings torn and frayed, revealing patches of soft, fair skin.
Despite the situation, she was truly dazzling.
“Youyou?”
“Huh? Who are you?”
Luo You played dumb, acting clueless.
“Eh? I’m—ah!”
Liyun suddenly remembered she was still transformed.
“Sorry, wrong person! Come on, I’ll get you out!”
She scooped Luo You up, her hand naturally resting on the girl’s thigh, the intoxicating sensation making her heart skip a beat.
A-amazing!
Seeing Liyun hesitate, the hand stroking her thigh lingered, causing Luo You’s cheeks to flush as she shyly rubbed against Liyun’s towering chest a couple of times.
“Um… Magic Girl Big Sister?”
“Ah, sorry, my mana flow was acting up a bit.”
Liyun nervously gave a random excuse and hurriedly took Luo You away.
But instead of going to where others were, she led her to the empty rooftop.
“Any injuries?”
Liyun asked anxiously.
“Nope.”
Luo You wanted to tease her, immediately praising, “Magic Girl Big Sister, you’re amazing! What’s your name? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in this city before!”
“Uh… hahaha. My name’s… Liyun. You probably haven’t heard of me.”
“Oh!? You’re Liyun, the one ranked sixth among the Top Ten, right?”
Luo You exaggerated like a child.
“I know a big sister with the same name as you!”
Ah, geez.
Liyun awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“But that big sister was violated by a bad woman before, even had a collar put on her and trained like a pet. So pitiful. Can you, Magic Girl Big Sister, help her out sometime?”
“Th-that…”
What even is this?
And you’re telling my shameful past to someone I just ‘met’?
Liyun wanted to find a hole to hide in, blushing with embarrassment.
“No… never mind,” Luo You suddenly changed her mind, speaking with conviction, “I believe that big sister will definitely walk out of the shadows and be reborn with her own strength. I hope she can do it!”
“You—”
The overwhelming warmth welled up in Liyun’s chest, making her want to cry.
Sorry, Youyou, you so want me to overcome my darkness, but I still have to film those little adult movies with that woman…
Those were painful memories.
Setting them aside, Liyun pointed at Luo You’s thigh: “This… Can you take it off? Walking around like this might get you taken away for bad things…”
Luo You blinked innocently.
“Hmm? But Magic Girl Big Sister is protecting me, isn’t she?” But I almost went astray just now!
Liyun covered her face with both hands, kneeling down in silent shame, feeling she had betrayed the sacredness of the Magic Girl profession.
She had just entertained forbidden feelings toward someone other than Ereira—Luo You, who had helped her so many times.
Luo You smirked mischievously and asked, “So… will you take these stockings off and keep them, Magic Girl Big Sister?”
“Eh?!”
“Consider it a keepsake. We only met by chance today, but maybe years from now, when you see these stockings, you’ll think of me. Isn’t that nice?”
“Eh eh, th-this…”
Before Liyun could think of a reply, Luo You swiftly took off the slightly damp stockings and handed them to Liyun.
“All off! Keep them well, okay?”
“Ah, ah… um…”
Liyun awkwardly accepted them.
Should she be happy?
Deep down, she actually was a little glad.
Her eyes gradually hardened with determination as she tucked the stockings into her pocket, as if not just an ordinary pair of stockings had been stored, but—
A brand-new bond between Magic Girl Liyun and Luo You!
“Well, I’m off now. Take good care of yourself.”
“Yeah, goodbye, Magic Girl Big Sister.”
Liyun flew straight to the Magic Alliance’s Huahai City branch.
There, Xingyue had been waiting for a while.
“Liyun, you just went to the fire scene? I heard no one was hurt, that’s good.”
“Ah… yeah… just doing my duty, as I should,” Liyun replied somewhat absentmindedly.
Xingyue frowned.
They hadn’t seen each other for years.
Xingyue thought Liyun would be nervous to see her, but it seemed Liyun’s attention wasn’t on her at all.
“What’s wrong? You seem distracted.”
Liyun’s mind was out of sync, and she instinctively said, “Uh… actually, I just got a pair of worn stockings from someone I rescued.”
“Stockings? Worn ones?”
“Eh!? Did I just say that out loud?”
“Yep, you did.”
Xingyue said with interest.
“What exactly happened? Tell me.”
After years, Xingyue had grown even more mysterious, and Liyun felt like she was back in school facing the homeroom teacher.
She recounted honestly: “Not much, just got them from someone I saved at the fire scene.”
Liyun pulled the stockings from her pocket. “These, haha… already damaged, I can’t wear them anymore.”
But the next second, she quickly put them back.
What was she doing?
Too distracted!
Snap out of it!
Liyun slapped her own face.
Xingyue looked thoughtful, her brows furrowed tightly.
[Those stockings… look kinda familiar?]
After thinking for a long time, Xingyue shook her head.
No, she was probably just overthinking.
No matter what, she couldn’t have recognized the owner of the stockings just by looking at them.
If she could, she’d have to be a living saint.
