Su Ziling looked at the magic wand being handed to him with a hint of confusion.
“How did you figure out that it shares the same origin as me?”
“Intuition.”
Lin Yizhou had seen Su Ziling transform before and had also felt his aura. That feeling… was quite different from ordinary Magical Girls.
“Speaking of which,” Lin Yizhou suddenly thought of something and asked Su Ziling, “Where’s your Transformation Device? Let me see it too.”
“I don’t have a Transformation Device.”
Su Ziling said bluntly.
“I rely on other Magical Girls’ Transformation Devices to transform.”
Hearing this, Lin Yizhou was stunned. At the same time, he became more convinced of his suspicions.
Maybe… Su Ziling isn’t a pure Magical Girl.
“No wonder you have so many spirit outfits,” Lin Yizhou snapped back to reality, unable to resist voicing his doubts and concerns. “But telling me all this—aren’t you afraid I’ll spill everything?”
His tone sounded more like a joke, but Su Ziling wasn’t swayed. He only replied calmly.
“If you really intended to reveal it, you would have reported it long ago. It wouldn’t have waited until now.”
“Heh heh~” Seeing that his teasing didn’t work, Lin Yizhou didn’t say much else. Instead, he raised the magic wand again and gestured. “Give it a try. Since it shares an origin with you, maybe the transformation will have some special effect.”
“Fine…”
Since Lin Yizhou insisted, Su Ziling had no choice but to take the magic wand being offered to him.
Compared to Su Xiaomeng’s Transformation Device, this magic wand felt heavy, like holding a dumbbell.
But this weight was nothing to Su Ziling. After weighing it a few times, he pressed the gem at the center of the wand.
Immediately, a dazzling light engulfed the entire classroom.
The blonde Magical Girl appeared once again in front of Lin Yizhou. Though her color scheme remained black and gold, her spirit outfit had turned into a completely different form. She even held a massive bow in her hand.
This bow was almost as tall as the transformed Su Ziling. With his small stature, Lin Yizhou couldn’t imagine how he would even draw the string…
Wait, why would he need to draw it anyway?
Given Su Ziling’s superhuman strength after transforming, he would probably just throw the bow aside and start punching his enemies.
Just then, Lin Yizhou’s brow furrowed tightly. His previously relaxed body tensed up.
He felt a familiar yet spine-chilling magical aura.
And that aura… was emanating from Su Ziling.
When he used other transformation devices before, the aura wasn’t strong. But this time…
Lin Yizhou couldn’t help but gasp. Without a second thought, he quickly sealed the entire classroom with his mana.
Seeing him suddenly so nervous, Su Ziling thought an enemy had arrived and quickly asked.
“What’s wrong?”
After confirming they hadn’t been discovered, Lin Yizhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“No… nothing.”
He looked at the black-and-gold Magical Girl, who was much shorter than him, and said with an extremely grave expression.
“Remember this: never use this Transformation Device to transform carelessly. If others find out—not to mention the Monsters, even Magical Girls will try to eradicate you completely! Unless you don’t want to live anymore and want to make enemies of the entire world.”
Facing Lin Yizhou’s serious, unyielding gaze, Su Ziling was silent for a long moment before finally speaking.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because even I can’t tell anymore whether you’re human or some kind of Ultimate Being.”
Lin Yizhou rubbed his temples.
“Your mana right now acts like a slime mold. Whether it’s a Monster’s or a Magical Girl’s mana, it all becomes your nourishment. This situation is indeed very similar to a Witch’s.”
Perhaps fearing Su Ziling wouldn’t understand, Lin Yizhou said it outright.
“To both Magical Girls and Monsters, your existence is like a flood or a beast. Do you think they’d let you live peacefully in this world once they know about you?”
At the end, Lin Yizhou added with a sneer.
“They’d probably stage a ‘suicide’ with eight shots to your back, right?”
“I see…”
Su Ziling seemed to grasp Lin Yizhou’s meaning.
“So, if I usually use other Magical Girls’ Transformation Devices, I can hide my aura. But if I use this one, my strength will skyrocket, yet if someone finds out, I might get wanted by the entire Federation?”
Lin Yizhou said with a mocking tone.
“Wanted? It’s pursuit.”
“Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? Is there something wrong with Li Li’s magic wand?”
While the two were speaking, Su Lili looked back and forth for a while, seemingly not following their train of thought.
Hearing Su Lili’s voice, Su Ziling canceled his transformation and returned the magic wand to the little one.
After doing this, he asked Lin Yizhou.
“What about Li Li? Would transforming with this magic wand affect her?”
“I want to try transforming too!”
Su Lili wasn’t opposed to it; in fact, she was a little excited, like a child showing off a toy to her parents.
“Go ahead.”
Lin Yizhou nodded. He also wanted to see if there were any hidden dangers when Su Lili transformed.
“Alright! Gu nu nu…”
The little one took the magic wand and imitated Meluke’s transformation pose. Though it looked a bit clumsy, it was quite adorable.
“Magical Girl Little Li transforms!”
When she finally finished her pose, she pressed the gem at the center of the magic wand.
As the dazzling light gradually faded, Su Lili appeared before the two in a blue-and-white Gothic Lolita style spirit outfit.
“Dad! Mom! How does it look? How does it look!”
“Hmm…” Lin Yizhou rubbed his chin, staring at the spirit outfit that closely resembled Meluke’s. After a moment of thought, he pulled out his phone. “Can I take a photo as a souvenir?”
“If you don’t mind me calling 110, go ahead and perform.”
Su Ziling retorted in a deadpan, then walked over to Su Lili and crouched down, tugging at the hem of her skirt that barely reached her knees.
“And why is this spirit outfit’s skirt so short? And the white stockings…”
“Hmph hmph~ Of course, because it looks good!” Su Lili put her hands on her hips, proudly declaring, “Besides, Dad designed this spirit outfit for me!”
Su Ziling silently shifted his gaze to Lin Yizhou, who was still holding his phone. The meaning in his eyes was clear.
In response, Lin Yizhou could only awkwardly look away.
“As the saying goes? The future me agreed, but the present me didn’t. Whatever the future me did, you can’t blame the current me, right?”
