Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 95 The Price of 'Friends'
Silently staring at the heretic demon who had been completely killed.

This time, Tang Cao's mentality is completely different from before.

If she had regarded all this as a game before, then after experiencing this battle, Tang Cao's mood was no longer excited and thrilled, but instead turned into gratitude and a desire for power.

The frogman heretic demon has strong combat power, stronger than any heretic demon encountered before.

If I didn't have the advantage of elements, it would not be easy to deal with him.

Moreover, this thing has a certain degree of intelligence. It will surrender, use tricks to disguise itself, and even judge the situation and choose to escape.

This kind of opponent is not only a novel experience for Tang Cao, but also a wake-up call in his heart.

What if the element I awakened wasn't ice? What if the demon didn't have a weakness to the cold? What if I was a step too late and the other party had already killed innocent people?
It was not until this moment that Tang Cao felt the weight of these questions.

"Tang Cao, are you okay?"

As if noticing something was wrong with Tang Cao, Xiaobai came over.

"I'm fine." Tang Cao put away his expression and smiled. "Why do you ask?"

"You look weird." Xiaobai tilted his head.

"You're not going to say any cheesy love words to me, are you?" Tang Cao stuck out his tongue and leaned down to touch Xiaobai's head.

Feeling Tang Cao's soft palm, Xiaobai blinked thoughtfully.

She didn't know where the change in Tang Cao came from, but to some extent, it was a good thing. At least her "partner" seemed a lot more reliable.

Just then, the sound of flapping wings was heard.

Tang Cao and Xiao Bai looked back, only to see Qin Nan's figure floating down and landing steadily on the ground.

"You did a good job~"

Looking at the melting frost all over the ground and the scene where all the dark crystals had evaporated and only the broken ones were left, Qin Nan raised the corners of his mouth towards Tang Cao.

"I was wondering if there would be any accidents on your side. Now it seems that you are qualified to join the industry. Although you are not yet a senior expert, you will definitely be able to stand on your own in time."

"Really?" Tang Cao clasped his hands together and widened his eyes.

Killing the heretic demon did not bring Tang Cao much joy, but the recognition from the seniors was a different story.

"Have some confidence in yourself. Many magical girls are so frightened when they encounter the Outer Path Demon that they dare not move, and even forget how to use their magic."

Qin Nan patted Tang Cao's shoulder and chuckled.

"You were able to adjust in such a short time and use elemental control to kill the Outer Path Demon so well. You are already ahead of many people."

Tang Cao chuckled. It felt great to be praised by a senior.

Then she thought of something and asked coquettishly.

"By the way, Senior, what happened to you over there just now? Are you safe?"

Qin Nan hesitated for a moment, but soon regained her smile. "Nothing, just a bunch of random soldiers. I dealt with them all."

"That's good." Tang Cao smiled, not noticing Qin Nan's annoyance. "With this, the mission is complete, right?"

Qin Nan nodded. "The breach in the inner world has been closed, and the outer demons that descended upon the real world have been completely annihilated. So yes, mission accomplished."

"Huh." Tang Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
After a pause, Qin Nan turned and looked in the direction of the International Cinema.

"We should go. I heard the theater disbanding when I first came here. I guess those moviegoers will be leaving soon."

"Okay." Tang Cao responded and immediately touched his stomach. "I'm a little hungry. Senior, let's go get some barbecue. I know a place nearby that's pretty good."

"No, don't forget tonight's lesson is about mastering magic formulas. We've already wasted a lot of time dealing with the heretical demons; there's no time to eat." "Eh—"

Tang Cao drew out a long note.

"You could have been introduced. I told you that I would handle the issues here, but you insisted on following me," Qin Nan said, staring at Tang Cao with a frown.

"Senior, don't worry. I will be able to gather together a magic spell tonight. I promise!"

Tang Cao pouted and acted pitifully.

Seeing this, Qin Nan couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it. Since you completed the mission so well, I'll buy you something to eat when you pass by later."

"Yeah! I love you so much, senpai~"

Hearing this, Tang Cao immediately became happy.

Picking up Xiaobai, Tangcao turned around happily and ran towards the fire escape with light steps.

Looking at Tang Cao's back, Qin Nan's expression slowly became serious and she sighed softly. In fact, she just wanted to remind Tang Cao about her identity as a magical girl.

Although she didn't know who Su Siyao was, she understood from Tang Cao's reaction that she must be a very important friend in Tang Cao's heart.

but.

For magical girls.

The word "friend" comes at too high a price.

The arrival of the heretic demon this time can only be said to be a coincidence, but what about the next time?

If Tang Cao is determined to take this path, then her existence will inevitably be known to the outside demons. At that time, everyone around Tang Cao will become a target of attack by the outside demons.

Those guys will not have any mercy. In order to defeat the magical girl, the Outer Path Demon will use all means to target and destroy Karakusa, not only physically but also mentally.

After all, friends are a luxury in the dictionary of magical girls. The best choice is to give up everything around them and face all dangers alone.

However, looking at Tang Cao's innocent face, Qin Nan couldn't say anything for a moment.

Maybe Tang Cao doesn't have to be like other magical girls, Qin Nan can't be sure.

But what she knew was that Karakusa possessed a power that no other magical girl had - she had a brother with terrifying fighting ability.

With that master around, the Outer Path Demon shouldn't be able to threaten Karakusa's friends.
Just as I was thinking about it, Tang Cao's voice came from afar.

"Senior, come quickly."

"Oh!"

Qin Nan responded and immediately suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Well, let Tang Zijun deal with this kind of thing. He is just a private tutor who does things for money.

A thought arises out of nowhere, and I suddenly feel the world is vast.

Looking at Tang Cao who was waving at him, Qin Nan smiled relaxedly again and followed him.

And at the same time.

In the mirror plane behind the real world.

Under the guidance of Chang Lei, Tang Zijun quickly arrived at the mirror space where the mechanical heretic demon was.
