“Geez, big brother, his adorable little sister has already grown up, even the Magical Girl Gem has recognized her… so why does he still act all mysterious in front of her, refusing to say anything?”
‘Fine, I’ll just ask Sister Shiyue to whisper some ideas into his ear.’
‘Why can’t he show a bit better attitude toward his cute little sister?’
Ye Xingling puffed out her cheeks, nursing her grievances in silence.
Jiang Nan: “I’m not exaggerating.”
Jiang Nan: “Forget it if you don’t believe me.”
Jiang Nan: “Xiao Ling, have you had breakfast? After class, want to go to the convenience store together to buy some bread? I’m starving!”
Ye Xingling glanced at the three messages from Jiang Nan, casually replied with an “Okay,” and saw that the other person wasn’t going to reply further, so she secretly switched accounts again and entered the small group of the Magical Girl Society.
This small group was her forever home!
The original person of Lord Magical Girl Shuanghua confirmed the time school ended, stretched lazily, and prepared to chat at length with her seniors.
As for Chinese class… anyway, there wasn’t much left to listen to; let it go.
In just over ten minutes, the small group of the Magical Girl Society had accumulated quite a few messages.
Qiluo: “I confirmed it. The universal census is real, and the Human Alliance plans to speed up the process, not giving the elves hiding among the populace time to react.”
Qiluo: “They’re pushing ahead with the checks in schools and most organizations today, and tomorrow it’ll be all registered companies.”
Qiluo: “As for your student identities… actually, if you undergo the inspection normally, then come to the Magical Girl Society for a second check, and once they compare and see you’re all registered Magical Girls, the Human Alliance won’t cause trouble for you.”
Qiansheng and Jin Ming both replied with a “That’s a relief.” Unfortunately, Ye Xingling didn’t see it, or she would have added a “+1” for sure.
Qiluo: “Don’t celebrate too early. We don’t know exactly how the census will be implemented. It’s highly likely that if they detect magic power on you on the spot, they’ll take you away for further inspection.”
Qiluo: “And if that happens, it could even affect your family and friends. Don’t underestimate the Human Alliance’s determination this time.”
Qiluo: “Hehe, girls, you don’t want your peaceful school life to become strange because of your Magical Girl identity, right? Having to give speeches at school after being discovered, or not being able to show your face too casually, and so on.”
Qiansheng: “Wah! No way! Senior Qiluo, save me!”
Pfft… Senior Qiansheng’s three exclamation marks must have some story behind them…
Ye Xingling became more and more curious about this girl. She wondered when she could improve her relationship with Senior Qiansheng. It seems Senior Qiansheng is also a student, though it’s unclear whether she’s in high school or college.
As for middle school—that wasn’t within her consideration. The minimum age to become a Magical Girl is sixteen, and currently the Magical Girl Society hasn’t recorded any Magical Girl under sixteen.
Perhaps the Magical Girl Gem also thinks it’s too cruel to entrust the power needed to face danger to young girls?
Speaking of which, the Magical Girl Gem is also a mysterious thing. When not activated with magic power, it’s no different from an ordinary pretty accessory. Once activated, reciting the transformation oath allows you to successfully transform into a Magical Girl.
And during transformation, the Magical Girl Gem is embedded in their weapon, rather than staying where they wore it, presumably designed to hide their identity.
“Magical Girl… what a suspicious thing.”
Jin Ming: “So, almighty Senior Qiluo must have prepared countermeasures for your adorable juniors, right?”
Jin Ming included a sticker of a blonde beautiful girl with her hands clasped together and a playful wink.
‘Why do I feel like since that night’s incident, Senior Jin Ming has become… less tsundere? Well, not exactly; she’s just more lively.’
Qiluo: “Heh, maybe not? Even your senior can’t reach the heavens and influence the Human Alliance’s decisions.”
Qiansheng: “Ehh—!”
Jin Ming: “No way—!”
‘At that moment, the two must have been imagining how to survive the days ahead.’
‘But too bad, your adorable junior Shuanghua has already seen the ending.’
Qiluo: “Just kidding, you little dummies~”
Qiluo: “How could I leave my cute juniors’ daily lives to chance?”
Then Qiluo sent three pictures, each containing a string of strange gibberish that gave no clues. But then Qiluo’s words caught Ye Xingling’s attention.
Qiluo: “From top to bottom, they are for Qiansheng, Jin Ming, and Shuanghua. Find the person in charge of your school’s census, hand over the password corresponding to your identity, and they’ll give you the green light.”
Qiluo: “You shouldn’t need me to remind you of its importance. This purge of elves has even gained support from Magical Girl Headquarters. And precisely because of that, we Magical Girls have a certain voice. Plus, since Magical Girl and elf are two identities that can never coexist simultaneously, we can be exempted from this inspection.”
Qiluo: “However, within the groups undergoing this inspection, those with special needs—like a high position in a large organization and requiring identity protection—can also obtain this password.”
Qiluo: “Anyway, that’s all. Xiao Shuanghua? Did you see the message?”
Just as Senior Qiluo sent a new message, Ye Xingling quickly replied with “Mm-hmm,” afraid that Senior Qiluo might worry.
‘Phew… that’s good. It’s wonderful that my Magical Girl identity won’t be exposed.’
Ye Xingling immediately felt relieved and let out a long breath. Seeing the small group of the Magical Girl Society go quiet after their replies, she casually wrote down the password Senior Qiluo had sent in her Chinese textbook, then switched back to her usual social account.
Before she could even browse the group chats for a few minutes, the Chinese teacher passionately shouted “Class dismissed!” and left the classroom without turning back. A few seconds later, the bell rang, and the classroom immediately erupted into chaos.
Small groups of close friends were heatedly discussing something, expressing their opinions with a fervor no less than the literature-loving Chinese teacher. Some had even formed a tight circle, beginning their “paper talk.”
When Jiang Nan dragged her away, Ye Xingling could still vaguely hear a student clique’s loud discussion: “That Ye Xin is a burden; how could she have the ability of a Midnight-level Hunter? Being so young, she must be kept by some big shot in the Hunter’s Union…”
Hearing this made Ye Xingling a bit angry, but she would never argue with others. Plus, Jiang Nan was starving, so Ye Xingling just let it go.
‘Really, Miss Ye Xin is clearly very impressive!’
