Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 33 Battlefield Planning
Tang Zijun was playing with the dark crystal in his hand. This was the last thing left by the mantis monster in this world. It could barely be considered its relic.

After a brief communication, Tang Zijun now has a preliminary understanding of magical girls and spirit beasts.

It seems that he set up his retirement plan a little too early. If he had known that there were so many strange powers hidden in this world, Tang Zijun would never have started to prepare for retirement while in college.

Xiaobai was foolishly happy. After just a few minutes, her fear of Tang Zijun disappeared, and she even came over happily.

"Well, since you're so strong, we can definitely put an end to the invasion of the Outer Path Demons. Perhaps it's not impossible to kill them all!"

"It's not that easy."

Tang Zijun snapped his fingers, and the dark crystal drew a trajectory in the air and accurately fell into the fish tank in the living room, splashing water and scaring the goldfish inside.

Raising his hand and making a 'yes' gesture, Tang Zijun turned and looked at Xiaobai.

"The reason I was able to kill those greedy people in the mirror dimension is because the reversed world itself is my domain. I can enter and exit the mirror world freely, but the inner world is still a mystery to me."

"You seem to be right. I've never heard of anyone being able to enter the other world." Xiaobai frowned. "The memories I received only briefly described the concept of the other world."

"What can a silly cat like you who just got wiser know?" Tang Zijun shook his head and then continued. "Honestly, Xiaobai, have you ever thought about getting in touch with other magical girls?"

"Contact other magical girls?"

Xiaobai blinked, as if she didn't understand why Tang Zijun asked this question, but she still lowered her head and thought for a while before she spoke.

"Actually, I haven't really thought about this question. Generally speaking, magical girls are usually based in a certain city. It's very rare for two magical girls to be born in the same city."

"Why?" Tang Zijun asked.

"Because if more than two magical girls are born in a city, it proves that the city's negative energy has risen to an immeasurable level," Xiaobai said seriously. "If we're not careful, it could lead to a terrible disaster."

"That is to say, once a magical girl has determined her work area, she can't leave the city, right?" Tang Zijun looked a little strange.

It seems that being a magical girl is not an easy job.

Fighting with a group of heretics and demons every day, not only do you not have five social insurances and one housing fund, you cannot take leave without reason, and you have to work all year round. Even your working environment is restricted to a city.

Compared to this, my life back then was really too comfortable.

Although it is tiring to balance studies and killing enemies, the working environment is not fixed, and sometimes you can travel abroad and experience the customs and cultures of different countries.

Thinking of this, Tang Zijun picked up the cup and took another sip. "According to you, magical girls generally don't have any connections with each other?"

"That's not the case," Xiaobai said after thinking for a moment. "My memories also show scenes of multiple magical girls fighting together. It's not that frequent, but it still happens."

After a pause, Xiaobai stretched out his paw and shook it in the air.

"Magical girls' actions are mainly divided into two categories. The first category is what I just mentioned. The selected magical girls will guard a fixed city alone and eliminate all the outsiders who attempt to invade."

"The second type is, as you guessed, small groups consisting of two or more magical girls. They usually work together to snipe invading outsiders, but this type is relatively rare, unless it's between two cities that are very close to each other."

Tang Zijun stroked his chin. "If cities are close together, and both have high levels of negative energy, will there be a flow of energy between them, creating a more powerful enemy?"

Tang Zijun didn't ask this question casually, as he had encountered a similar situation in the past.

Since there is no concept of distance in the reversed world, Tang Zijun often faces battles where the minority defeats the majority. He may be facing a greedy person from Chuancheng one moment, and then be surrounded by greedy people from Chuncheng the next moment.

When Xiaobai heard Tang Zijun's question, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"You've hit the nail on the head. The threshold of negative energy isn't static, and the entrance to the other world is constantly moving. If the two cities are too close, the battle line will lengthen. That's when more magical girls will be needed."

Then, Xiaobai continued, "However, there is another possibility."

"You mean the city is too big and one magical girl can't take care of the overall situation." Before Xiaobai finished speaking, Tang Zijun had already given the answer.

In fact, the logic of the magical girl's battle is not difficult to guess. Take the most basic tower defense game as an example. The radiation range of a magical girl is so large, but cities are big and small.

When the two cities are close to each other, the battle line will expand and cover both cities. At this time, the power of one magical girl is far from enough.

And if a large city is large enough, even several times the size of an ordinary city, then the magical girls may not be divided into "cities" but more likely into "urban areas".

"That's right! But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, large cities have large populations, so it's normal for negative energy to surge."

Xiaobai nodded his head quickly, then smiled happily.

"But the situation in Snow City is actually not that bad. This city is of a moderate size. Moreover, you are so powerful. With you and Tang Cao, I don't think those outsider demons will be able to cause any trouble~"

While listening to Xiaobai's slightly excited cheers, a hint of worry appeared between Tang Zijun's brows without leaving a trace.

On the surface, these foreign demons encountered now are indeed not that powerful. However, I deliberately left traces in Snow City, and the other party immediately sent a strange beast egg. There is obviously a big problem here.

In addition, the heretic demon was able to find a way to show up during the day. Obviously, the other party still had a secret in his hand that he didn't know about.

Is it a tacit test?

Ha ha.

Tang Zijun shook his head slightly, and then his eyes fell on Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, please help me keep it a secret. I don't want Tang Cao to know about my ability to transform yet."

"Eh?!"

Xiaobai's ears twitched.

"Why? Aren't we comrades in the same camp? You and Tang Cao are siblings. The best choice for everyone right now is to unite!"

In response, Tang Zijun just smiled helplessly and reached out to stroke her chin.

"You still don't understand Karasuma. I've only lived here for half a year, and I'm almost like her babysitter. What do you think will happen if she finds out I can transform into Kamen Rider?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai was stunned.

Immediately, Tang Cao's voice vaguely appeared in her ears.

"Onii-chan, Onii-chan~"

"This game activity is really fun, and it's limited in time. Please help me deal with that heretic demon."

“People are willing to do anything”

"Please please~"

Think of this.

The man and the cat looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
