“Hey! Haizhe, you’ve got some serious guts—I can’t just stand by and watch this kind of behavior!”
As a magical girl, this kind of thing was absolutely unacceptable.
Luozining admitted to herself that her own behavior wasn’t always textbook magical girl material, but overall it wasn’t a big deal.
And as the team leader, she had to stop her teammates from acting out of line!
“No, no, just listen to me—wait, not listen to my excuses… listen to my explanation! Actually, I felt a slight vibration under the floor just now!”
Haizhe defended herself.
“Think about it—don’t TV dramas often show how in fancy hotels, powerful people force themselves on young girls, then throw down a wad of cash as hush money? If the girl resists, she’s thrown out the window! The police then cover it up under pressure. So I was wondering if the same thing was happening downstairs! If it is, then we have to stop it!”
“You watch too many TV dramas…”
Luozining retorted.
Well, Luozining could understand Haizhe’s prejudice against those rich elites.
The appearance of Fusion Warriors had already shattered the old balance, causing the elites at the top of the pyramid to develop even more sinister desires.
Such incidents weren’t surprising.
【I wonder if my aunt has any bad habits… No, no! What am I thinking?! There’s no way my aunt would be that kind of person!】
Luozining shook her head—her aunt was the embodiment of integrity and beauty; her tastes must be pure!
“Anyway, I’ll allow you to take a quick look! If you find nothing, you have to stop immediately!”
“OK~ OK!”
Haizhe started preparing her magic—actually, she had it mostly ready already.
As she cast her spell, a magical true sight covered her eyes.
The solid floor beneath them turned into a translucent pale blue in her vision, allowing her to see human-shaped outlines below.
Faces and expressions were unclear, but all movement details were perfectly visible.
It was similar to a thermal imaging perspective.
“What do you see?”
“Emmm… I see two big ones holding a smaller one. It’s obvious they’re… doing that!”
“What? Fusion?!”
Luozining’s hair stood on end.
She definitely couldn’t ignore this—fusion had to be stopped at all costs!
“But they all look like girls… and there’s a girl next door who’s… eavesdropping,” Haizhe added.
Luozining’s murderous aura instantly vanished, replaced by a faint panic the next second.
Oh no, it’s Sharna!
Is this really a special training session summoned by Manjusaka?
Or is it some bonding event organized by the Magical Alliance?
【If that’s the case…】
Luozining glanced at her two partners, Haizhe and Huahua.
Does that mean I have to deal with these two—!?
“Even if they’re all girls, so what? Fusion is zero tolerance!”
Huahua clearly wasn’t thinking much and was about to climb down from the balcony to stop them.
“Wait!”
Haizhe shouted, halting her.
“What are you waiting for?”
“Uh, although it’s two big ones holding a small one, it looks like the small one is the one taking the initiative… the other two seem like they’re serving their mistress.”
“Huh?”
A moment later, Haizhe blushed and withdrew her magic.
How shameless—they were playing so wildly down there!
“Um, let’s just pretend none of this ever happened!”
Haizhe said awkwardly.
“O-okay.”
Huahua awkwardly agreed.
Only Luozining remained silent.
“Xiao Hong Mao?”
“Wah!?”
Luozining jumped in place, startled by the hand that had landed on her shoulder.
“What’s with such a big reaction, Xiao Hong Mao?”
“Uh, I-I was just wondering what exactly we’re doing here in the northwest this time…”
“Didn’t I say it’s special training? Stop overthinking.”
Haizhe tried to pat Xiao Hong Mao’s shoulder a few more times but found that their distance remained the same no matter what—whenever she moved forward, Xiao Hong Mao stepped back.
An awkward silence fell.
Squall Step!
Cloud Flash!
At the same time Haizhe moved, Luozining used magic to dodge away.
“Xiao Hong Mao… what are you avoiding?”
“You’re the one—what are you chasing?”
“If you don’t dodge, would I chase?”
“If you don’t chase, would I dodge?”
Another awkward silence.
The tension thickened.
At that moment—
Very clear.
Squeeze~
The tenant in the room below opened the balcony window.
Previously muffled lewd noises suddenly became audible.
“Wow, big sister who knows how to have fun, how come now you’re the one getting played? You weren’t like this before.”
“Uh… open the window… no!”
“Hehe, big sister, you have to endure it. If you get caught, your reputation will be ruined~”
“N-no! This… can’t happen!~~”
“Oh? You’re getting loud, huh? You better hold on. Maybe someone on the balcony upstairs is watching and trying to peek below.”
The few people on the balcony upstairs quickly retracted their upper bodies, embarrassed, and quietly sipped their tea.
Not, not, not perverted at all! Just purely curious!
Luozining felt awkward and started imagining wildly.
“Waaahhh…”
Huahua listened, face burning red.
She and her sister had never been that wild!
Haizhe seemed to have entered a new world, her gaze drifting toward her two companions, lost in her own thoughts.
Luozining sensed danger.
“Ahem, you guys absolutely mustn’t imitate them—that’s lewd, wrong, and against our values.”
“Even if you tell me not to… we wouldn’t be able to pull off something so spicy anyway,” Huahua said.
“Hmph, who knows.”
Luozining snorted lightly.
Out of sight, out of mind, but she still desperately wanted to stay on the balcony to listen carefully.
Listening to the noises below, inspiration for her doujinshi began flooding in!
【Just listen for half… one more hour! Just one more hour!】
Luozining awkwardly sat back down.
“Hehe, big sister, you just can’t hold back anymore, can you? Go ahead! Don’t suppress yourself—be your true self!”
Huh?
Luozining frowned slightly—this voice sounded vaguely familiar.
Like my old Den…
No way, no way—there’s no way that old Den could afford to stay in such a fancy hotel, or come all the way from Huahai City to the northwest to fool around.
That’s thousands of kilometers away!
— Comforting herself with this thought, Luozining tried to quietly eavesdrop again.
However—
“Oh? Sharna, little sister, you’re out of steam already? No, no, you can’t be like that if you want to stand on your own. Here, I’ll teach you some fitness knowledge.”
Clang!
“Huh!? What’s that… Xiao Hong Mao, Xiao Hong Mao! You spilled your tea! It’s on your skirt!”
Haizhe quickly grabbed some tissues and reached under Luozining’s skirt to wipe.
Oh?
Not dodging this time?
Haizhe looked up in surprise, only to see Xiao Hong Mao with a deeply stirred expression, lips tightly pressed together.
…Could it be that she’s gotten a feeling from listening to what’s happening below?
Trying hard not to let us notice?
