Chapter 126: The Witch’s Appointment

Luo Zining hesitated again and again but still didn’t bring up the fact that she wanted to become Elira’s disciple.

[When we get back, I’ll report to Lady Xingyue alone… Let’s see what she thinks first.]

“By the way, Winged Butterfly Senior, what exactly are we here to do?”

“You don’t need to know. Knowing might actually make what should be natural actions become forced. Just go about your usual activities freely, but remember not to reveal your identity as a magical girl.”

“Then… what about Elira?”

“That’s none of your concern, and don’t get involved. You might not know this, but over 20% of the world’s power is gathered inside this hotel! The people staying here hold such high positions and authority—don’t let yourself get caught up as pawns by them.”

Hearing this, although Luo Zining didn’t fully understand, she got one thing clear: they couldn’t really act completely freely here; they had to be extremely cautious.

Thinking deeper, maybe their trip all the way from Jiulong Sea was precisely because they were playing the role of pawns.

But why go so far from Jiulong Sea just to bring people here?

[Maybe it’s to test my leadership skills…]

Luo Zining straightened up, suddenly feeling nervous.

Being able to fight was one thing, but that didn’t qualify her as a proper Tenth Seat member.

Members of the Tenth Seat also had to have personal abilities to lead other magical girls; otherwise, they wouldn’t be recognized.

“There are eight of us including myself coming along. Managing everyone shouldn’t be too hard, but…”

Aside from Haizhe and Huahua, the other five magical girls belonged to different teams.

They chatted occasionally but weren’t close.

So this is part of the test as well?

Luo Zining’s eyes darkened.

The challenging trial stirred her fighting spirit.

Then I’ll show them what I can do!

“St—stop… I can’t take it anymore…”

The Mistress’s flawless beauty was on the verge of collapse, and atop her radiant, enticing body lay a lustful little imp.

Nearby, Sharner lay unconscious on the ground.

This scene could easily be imagined as a restricted-level tableau inside a goblin cave.

“Hehe, how could a fun-loving big sister like me not know how to play?”

“Y-Your hair, Elira… it’s… incredible!”

“Right? Amazing, isn’t it? There’s even more~~ incredible stuff coming!”

“Oyster~! I’m done for… Let’s rest, rest for a bit!”

“Bring me the corpse of a dragon-grade dimensional beast.”

“…Two more hours, alright?”

“Let’s see if you can last that long!”

In the end, the Mistress barely lasted an hour before passing out as well.

“Hiss—how terrifying!”

Luo You gasped.

She wasn’t skilled at using hair in such a way—still a pure beginner—but to bring the Mistress to such a state was truly impressive.

If she practiced more, next time she could definitely leave Xingyue completely disoriented!

“Well, that’s enough for now.”

After finishing her efforts, Luo You felt this trip to the northwest was worthwhile—she had thoroughly enjoyed herself.

She went to the bathroom to shower, and as she stepped out drying her hair with a towel, she saw the Mistress had already woken up and was about to bathe.

“Oh, you’re up so soon. You weren’t pretending to be unconscious just now, were you?”

“Not at all…”

The Mistress trembled slightly, her body as voluptuous and ripe as a peach quivering in response.

“If it had continued much longer, I really might have died…”

“Isn’t that an exaggeration?”

Luo You felt awkward; being praised to this degree made her feel bashful.

Dying in bliss like that seemed like something only found in novels—unless drugged, it’s basically impossible in reality.

But the Mistress shook her head and said, “Not at all. No normal person could have survived. Especially when it was inside my ear—it felt like it was drilling into my brain’s core… just thinking about it now makes me shudder.”

It was more pleasurable than any professional ear-cleaning service by a thousandfold.

A few soft strands of hair twisted and turned inside the ear canal, tickling deep into the soul.

When the tickling reached its peak, a gentle squeeze—woosh~~!

Leaping repeatedly on the edge of ecstasy!

“Is that so.”

Luo You felt a sudden envy.

She had never dared let Winged Butterfly do that to her before—it was too dangerous.

At that level of recklessness, a mishap was inevitable.

Damn it!

At the same time, Luo You realized it wasn’t that the Mistress was too weak, but that she herself was too powerful.

To face Winged Butterfly’s exquisite entanglement of thousands of strands without becoming dehydrated into a shriveled husk—that kind of vitality was something those resentful magical women could only dream of for a lifetime!

“Well, I’ll be off now. Big sister, take care of yourself.”

“Leaving so soon?”

“Do you still want to continue, big sister?”

“Aiya… it’s fine to let me rest a bit, isn’t it?”

The Mistress touched her cheek awkwardly.

Even this simple gesture was captivating—far better than those plain, innocent magical girls who failed to ignite any desire!

No specific individuals implied here; do not make direct associations!

“I’m sure you can imagine, you disappearing for a whole night caused a massive uproar outside. I have to go stabilize things.”

“Oh~ then you go ahead. I’ll be waiting in my room tonight.”

“—!”

The Mistress’s expression froze.

Was this woman really not the reincarnation of a lust demon?

“Just kidding~ If you keep torturing your body like that, big sister, it’s too pitiful. I’ll hang around nearby; you go handle your business.”

Luo You gave up the bathroom with a flourish and swaggered out.

Then she ran into another big sister.

“Elira, where are you going?”

“Let’s just be straightforward, big sister. Why are you staring at me like that?”

Luo You exchanged a helpless glance with Winged Butterfly.

No matter how much she liked her, she couldn’t cling like this!

This was beyond a resentful magical woman—it was ghost level!

Hoo

Looks like it can’t be hidden any longer. Winged Butterfly sighed and said:

“Elira, you know who’s gathered in this hotel. Some of them are already plotting how to divide the world’s future power structure. You’ll definitely be a target everyone fights over, so I want you to help me lure those people out.”

“Oh~ that, I know. Those who collaborate with the dimensional beasts, right?”

…How do you know that?

“Hmph, Manjusaka really is aloof—when we were on the same boat, we worked so well together.”

Luo You frowned.

When parting ways from the boat, she said things like ‘Looking forward to next cooperation,’ but now she was hiding in the shadows manipulating the situation, trying to drag her in too.

Maybe she could squeeze another favor out of Manjusaka.

“Alright then, big sister, I’ll cooperate with you~”

“What are your conditions?”

“Conditions… Let Manjusaka—or rather, your highly anticipated Little Red Riding Hood—come talk to me.”

Just then, Winged Butterfly’s skin tightened sharply.

Is this a trap?

…No! Even if it’s a trap, I have to jump in!

Perfect chance to test if Little Red Riding Hood really is that wicked witch’s daughter.
