Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 18: Seize the bamboo shoots!
Tang Zijun's expression under the helmet was a little speechless.

We were chatting happily, why did I suddenly feel like I was being scolded?
Qin Nan on the opposite side felt like there was a short circuit in her brain, as if a part was stuck, and she couldn't react for a long time.

A high-ranking official in the Mirror Plane (at least that's what she thought) actually had a sister who became a magical girl! What kind of fantasy is this?!

Qin Nan didn't think about whether the other party was lying to him, because in this case, as the other party said, there was no need for him to use such a low-level lie, which was too easy to be exposed.

"So, your sister really is..."

Qin Nan opened his mouth stutteringly, not knowing what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment.

Tang Zijun understood, as this was a first for him. "It's a magical girl, yes. With all due respect, I've never dealt with people like you before, so I can't trust that kind of superficial power."

"Do you think the magical girl's power will harm your sister?" Qin Nan frowned slightly. What is this 'weird and wonderful brother'?

"I only believe in one thing: any power comes with a price," Tang Zijun said seriously. "I don't think the magical girl's power is a blessing to my sister, even if she's saving the world."

Perhaps because Tang Zijun's tone was always gentle and he didn't seem to be doing anything threatening, Qin Nan became a little bolder, or at least not as nervous as he was at the beginning.

Listening to Tang Zijun's words, she silently observed the other party's armor.

The silver fox-colored metallic coat, paired with a black tights, looks very heroic but not bulky, giving people a sense of flexibility and swiftness.

"All power comes with a price. Your power has a price too, right?"

Tang Zijun was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the other party to bring the topic to himself. Then he began to ponder.

His power comes from the Kamen Rider belt from another world. Since he mastered the transformation, Tang Zijun really hasn't noticed any so-called "price". If he has to say something, it's that his appetite has increased a lot, and he is very sensitive to smells.

This is also the reason why Tang Zijun rarely goes to crowded places. The smells in such places are extremely mixed, which is simply torture for him.

Noticing that Tang Zijun had fallen silent, Qin Nan thought that the other party was unwilling to answer her question. After hesitating for a while, she took the initiative to speak.

"Although I don't know why your sister was chosen by the Rainbow Crystal Flower, since she is fortunate enough to become a magical girl, it means that she is qualified to be the one who rules the Earth."

"The person in charge on Earth?" Tang Zijun raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know much about rainbow crystal flowers, but what I do know is that they are a power born from the earth. Only pure girls can control this magic from nature."

"A pure girl?"

Listening to Qin Nan's explanation, Tang Zijun's eyes became strange, and he looked up and down at the bad girl in front of him.

Qin Nan blushed, as if she had noticed Tang Zijun's scrutinizing gaze.

"Hey! What do you mean?"

Tang Zijun coughed dryly and tilted his head. "So, the Rainbow Crystal Flower won't cause any irreversible damage to the magical girl, right?"

"Of course." Qin Nan replied immediately, but soon she added in a low voice, "But if you fight a monster, you will still get hurt easily."

While saying this, Qin Nan carefully observed Tang Zijun's expression.

Unfortunately, she could only see a cold wolf head and had no idea what Tang Zijun's expression was at the moment.

After hearing this, Tang Zijun felt relieved. As long as she was sure that transforming into a magical girl would not cost her life, then other things would not be a big deal.

However, Tang Zijun still felt a little resistant to those mascots.

"You just said that my sister was chosen by the Rainbow Crystal Flower. Does that mean the magical girl's powers aren't controlled by the mascot? Then where did they come from?"

"Ji," Qin Nan knew the other party was referring to something like Little Grey, and nodded immediately. "Little Grey and the others are spirit beasts, animals whose intelligence has been awakened by natural energy. They are responsible for delivering the Rainbow Crystal Flowers to the chosen girls." Every magical girl possesses a spirit beast, whose role is to assist the magical girl in battle. Since the strange person in front of him claims that his sister has become a magical girl, then he must have seen that spirit beast.

Qin Nan continued to explain. "Spiritual beasts can sense the growth of dark energy and identify any outsider demons invading the real world in advance. Then, magical girls can rush over and deal with them."

It's like a monster hunting guide.
Tang Zijun nodded thoughtfully. That made sense. What he was most worried about before was that the white cat was a human being, or a previous generation magical girl, and had become like this because of something.

If that were the case, Tang Zijun would never allow his sister to become a magical girl.

"How long have you been a magical girl?" Tang Zijun asked.

"Two, two years, why are you asking this?" Qin Nan blinked, and at the same time couldn't help but take a step back.

"Just asking."

Since the girl in front of him could still be alive and well after being a magical girl for two years, it also proved that the mortality rate of this profession did not seem to be as high as he imagined.

If this line of work was really that dangerous, Qin Nan, standing alone, would have died countless times already.

Thinking of this, Tang Zijun didn't have anything else to ask.

He could see how scared and wary the girl was of him. It was enough for her to answer these non-confidential questions. Asking more would only backfire.

"It's almost time, I'll take you out."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nan's originally tense face suddenly relaxed.

"Really?"

She still couldn't believe that the other party would be so easy to talk to.

"Of course it's true. I told you I mean no harm to you."

Tang Zijun waved his hand, and then a triangular prism hung down from the ceiling.

"Go through this mirror and you can return to the outside of the building. You'd better act quickly before those guys get off work."

Hearing this, Qin Nan's eyes fell on the prism. On the other side of the mirror, she could clearly see the street in front of the building's entrance and the underground parking lot. That was exactly where she came from.

Turning his head to look at Tang Zijun who didn't move, Qin Nan quickly ran towards the mirror.

Just as she was about to touch the mirror.

"and many more."

Tang Zijun's voice suddenly rang out, and her body subconsciously tensed up.

He turned his head stiffly. "Are you okay?"

"Just wanted to ask." Tang Zijun shrugged. "Where can you find bamboo shoots in your area?"

When Qin Nan heard Tang Zijun's question, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"You still eat bamboo shoots?"

Tang Zijun: “.”

This girl is stealing bamboo shoots
