If she could, Su Ziling really wanted to pry open her future self’s brain to see just how she ended up entangled with a monster?!
This description might be a bit strange, but in this world, the monster group… isn’t really that different from those “freedom bros” in her previous life.
Stealing with zero cost, robbing banks, stealing luxury cars—they’ve done all sorts of evil deeds.
It’s not that she’s discriminating—it’s like if you see a snake on the road, a normal person’s first reaction is to stay away, not to go up and check if it’s poisonous, right?
“Big sis, what’s wrong?” Su Lili keenly caught Su Ziling’s stiff expression, stopped chewing, and asked curiously. “Are the hamburgers not good?”
“They’re good…” Su Ziling took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of decision, and looked at the little girl with extremely serious eyes. “But can you listen to me for a moment?”
“Hmm? Big sis, go ahead.”
“As a magical girl of love and justice, even if I starve to death! Even if I jump from here! I absolutely! Positively! Will not ever get tangled up with a monster! You, understand?”
She spoke each word with finality.
“Uh…” Su Lili tilted her little head, blinked her big eyes, and muttered softly. “But Mom… the way you say that really sounds like a ‘never say never’ warning, doesn’t it?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible.”
One, Su Ziling considered herself a man… no matter how much she said it, no one believed her.
Two, she really couldn’t accept hooking up with a freedom bro who robs banks.
Three, she hadn’t thought of it yet, but if before she still had some thought of understanding each other, now she really didn’t have any.
What’s there to learn about monsters?
After taking a few breaths, Su Ziling sat back down in her seat. She took a sip of cola to calm her mind a little.
“Lili…”
“Big sis, have one too.”
She was about to ask for details about the future, but was met with the little girl handing her a golden french fry, along with that little face lit up by delicious food, brimming with pure happiness.
“…Sigh,”
The words at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back. Su Ziling had no choice but to open her mouth helplessly and let the little girl stuff the fry in.
“Big brother… he really isn’t a bad guy!” Su Lili seemed to have seen through her thoughts and explained seriously, even learning from somewhere unknown, stepping her little feet onto the stool and striking a slightly clumsy chuunibyou pose. “He’s actually… a hero who walks in the darkness, silently protecting the world and guarding magical girls!”
Saying this, the little girl didn’t forget to strike a slightly chuunibyou pose, copying someone unknown.
“He’s my idol, how can he be compared to those monsters!”
“Know it, know it, put your feet down from the stool.”
“Know it, know it,” Su Ziling said, half laughing and half crying as she pressed the little girl’s feet back to the ground. “Even a hero’s feet shouldn’t step on the stool. Focus on eating.”
The little girl immediately obediently sat up straight and resumed her mission of eating.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Lili jumped off the chair and looked at the magic wand in her hand.
“Big sis, I have to go back! But don’t worry, I’ll come again!”
Her smile was very bright, and her figure began to turn transparent.
“Ah…” Su Ziling, who had wanted to say something, saw Su Lili’s cute and innocent smile, and could only reach out and touch the other’s head. “Take care of yourself, don’t forget to eat.”
“Mhm mhm!”
A clear reply echoed in the air. The small figure became increasingly transparent. Because she had used magic, no one else in the restaurant except Su Ziling noticed Su Lili’s existence.
When Su Lili disappeared, the smile on Su Ziling’s face slowly faded, and for some reason, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
Although the little girl was noisy, she was quite mature and didn’t cause trouble for others. Instead, this maturity was a bit heartbreaking.
‘I wonder if Lin Yizhou from the future can really take good care of this little girl after she goes back.’
She tilted her head back, drank the rest of the cola, and got up to leave.
But as soon as she walked out, she ran into Su Xiaomeng riding a shared bicycle.
“Yo yo yo~” Look at Su Xiaomeng on the shared bike, she braked sharply and stopped in front of her, pointing an exaggerated finger at her. “Caught you! Big bro~ eating alone in secret! Not taking me!”
“Ate with Lili,” Su Ziling glanced at the transformation device in her hand. “Have a mission?”
“You bet!” Su Xiaomeng’s face instantly fell, and she muttered as if complaining. “These monsters never stop, and the Federation doesn’t do a damn thing. Everything is left to magical girls. It’s just…”
While Su Xiaomeng was complaining, Su Ziling reached out her hand and said.
“Give me the transformation device, I’ll handle it.”
“I can, but…” Su Xiaomeng handed it over, looking at her suspiciously. “But big bro, don’t you have class tonight?”
“Switched the class to tomorrow morning.”
Su Ziling’s answer was concise.
“Hmm~ something’s off, something’s off~” Su Xiaomeng handed the transformation device to Su Ziling, while couldn’t help teasing. “Big bro, you’ve finally awakened, huh. I’ve never seen you take the initiative to ask me for the transformation device before.”
“Scram!” Su Ziling glared at her in annoyance. “Don’t forget whose transformation device caused me to not be able to change back!”
“Hehe~ you can’t blame me for that!” Su Xiaomeng playfully stuck out her tongue and mounted her bike. “It’s clearly because your ability is too weird, okay! Which normal guy can use a magical girl transformation device? And not just mine—even other people’s work!”
“And then?”
“Then I think it’s not my transformation device’s problem, it’s obviously a problem with your ability, so I’m not taking the blame!”
Before the words died, she stepped on the pedal, and the bike shot out with a “whoosh.”
“Leaving it to you, big bro! I’m going back to grind Palworld~ Bye!”
“…Geez.” Su Ziling watched her sister’s retreating back and shook her head helplessly.
She took the initiative to take the job mainly to try to turn her “good bro” back.
‘Let’s take a look first.’
Brilliant light flashed and faded repeatedly in the deserted corner, but no matter how many times she tried…
Her “good bro” was still nowhere to be found.
In the end, she gave up thinking and let out a helpless sigh.
Although she lost her good bro, if she looked on the bright side… she gained a good sister!
Heh…
Heh heh heh…
Holding the transformation device, Su Ziling seemed like she had broken down, letting out incomprehensible eerie laughter on the spot.
“Hmm?”
But just then, her keen perception caught a very familiar magical energy signature.
This magical energy signature… if she remembered correctly, it was Su Lili’s.
Didn’t this little girl go back to the future?
Why could she still sense her magical energy?
Such a strange situation made Su Ziling frown slightly.
Although she couldn’t figure it out, Su Ziling still went to find the source of this magical energy signature, to see what was going on.
