"Stop right there!" she hissed coldly.

The girl in the red hat glanced at her, then silently flew forward on the snowflakes, finally landing on the roof of a residential building, where the snowflakes beneath her withered away.

Magical Girl Ash closed her umbrella, touched the ground with her toes, and landed on the ground. Then she slowly raised her face to look at the uninvited guest.

The Cinderella figure in his hand was rapidly changing shape, with sharp arcs connecting at the tip of the umbrella, and the gun muzzle opened instantly amidst the clanging of metal.

"Who are you?" she asked.

“Little Red Riding Hood, a magical girl,” the other person said, turning around.

At the same time, Ke Mingye decided to put what he had learned into practice, so he opened Baidu on his phone and entered the words "how to be a qualified magical girl" into the search box.

Chapter 59 Comet Kiamat

“I’ve never heard of anyone like you,” said Magical Girl Ash.

Given the current shortage of magical girls in China, she would definitely recognize any magical girls who appear in the same city.

"The comet fragment within me only awakened three days ago, so I'm a rookie magical girl. It's normal that you don't recognize me," said Little Red Riding Hood.

Ke Mingye had looked it up on his phone. The reason why magical girls become magical girls is because a comet called "Kiamat" passed by Earth thousands of years ago. Every time it passed by Earth, it left behind tens of millions of fragments, and some of these fragments were absorbed by the girls' bodies and remained inside them.

The girls who came into contact with the comet fragments became magical girls.

In addition, Comet Kiamat returns every 20 years, and at each time it collects all the comet fragments in the world and then spreads new fragments.

Every twenty years, the old magical girls lose their powers with the arrival of a comet, while new magical girls are born under the comet's blessing.

Just like flowers, plants, and trees change with the seasons, some wither while others revive.

Sometimes, fragments of Comet Kiamat attach themselves to animals, turning them into "contract beasts".

The contracted beasts will select a human girl who meets the criteria, sign a contract with her, and share their power with her.

These girls who signed contracts became known as "Contract Magical Girls," and they were fundamentally different from "Comet Magical Girls": their power came from comet fragments within the contracted beasts, rather than from themselves.

In Ke Mingye's setting, the magical girl doll, oops, I mean, the magical girl Little Red Riding Hood, is a comet-type magical girl; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain to Bai Zini why she doesn't have a contract beast.

"Then why are you following me?" Ash's tone grew even colder. "And... why do you know my identity?"

"It's a long story. I met someone called 'Strange Thing' a couple of days ago," Little Red Riding Hood said.

"...Strange thing?"

Ash frowned, murmuring the name softly, as if it sounded familiar.

She was suddenly stunned, and her mind flashed back to that day on the elevated railway, to the strange, gray humanoid figure she had seen, the one whose head had been cut off but could still speak.

"Strange thing, what a great name."

“We will meet again, Miss Ash. I am dead, but there will be thousands upon thousands of me who will return…”

Those words and that eerie, captivating laughter echoed in her mind again, causing her right hand, which was gripping the umbrella handle, to tremble slightly, and her face to grow even colder.

"Is that ugly thing still alive?" she thought. "It's still spreading my identity everywhere. It's never going to end."

Why do you know it?

Magical Girl Ash was silent for a moment, then turned her head to ask. A gentle breeze lifted the gray ribbon on her head, and her lead-black hair, bright and lustrous, flowed in the wind.

"I was watching TV that day, and the news about you was on. I whispered, 'I really want to get to know Ash-senpai,' and when I turned my head, I found it waving at me."

Little Red Riding Hood pressed her fingers against the brim of her hat and narrated in a low voice.

Hearing this, Ash got goosebumps, thinking to himself, "Does that weird thing really like eavesdropping?"

"And then?" she frowned and continued to ask.

“I was scared at first, but then I thought I was a magical girl now, so I opened the window. As soon as it spoke, it said to me, ‘I know Ash, her name is Bai Zini, and she’s your classmate.’”

Little Red Riding Hood paused for a moment: "Then, to confirm whether what he said was true, I tried to follow you."

Magical Girl Ash was silent for a moment, her lowered eyes hidden by her bangs.

After a long silence, she slowly spoke.

"If you ever see it again, please pass on a message to it for me."

"what?"

"Every time I see it again, I'll kill it."

Ke Mingye was stunned. He thought to himself, "That's too violent, sis. Is this something a magical girl should say? You're already showing signs of becoming a witch."

“Okay, I understand,” Little Red Riding Hood said. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to follow you.”

"Dispel the transformation." Magical Girl Ash raised her eyes, staring into Little Red Riding Hood's eyes, and said coldly, "Let me see your true form, only then will I believe you."

Ke Mingye was stunned for half a second, thinking to himself that he hadn't put any clothes on the trick doll, so what should he do?

“But senior, I’m not wearing any clothes,” Little Red Riding Hood said.

Why aren't you wearing any clothes?

"Don't you have to take off your clothes before you transform?"

"If you don't understand, just ask. Who taught you that?"

"That's what they said in the comments section of the Magical Girls fan club."

Ash gasped, rubbing his forehead and scolding, "Please, that's just what a bunch of weirdos who don't understand magical girls said. How could you actually believe it? Don't visit those kinds of websites anymore, okay? There aren't any normal people there."

“Because I’m a fan of yours, I often visit your fan site,” Little Red Riding Hood said hesitantly. “I know there are men there who leave comments saying they want to wear the silks you’ve worn…”

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop!"

Magical Girl Ash's ears turned bright red instantly, and she quickly interrupted Little Red Riding Hood. Even though she tried to remain calm, the anger in her eyes was still very obvious.

She crossed her arms, her gloved fingers tapping lightly on her arms as she spoke.

"As a magical girl, the first thing you should learn is to read less online comments about yourself, otherwise your blood pressure will rise, understand?"

"I understand."

"So what do you still want to do now?" Ash asked again.

"Finally, after all this talk, it's come to this." Ke Mingye sighed and gave the order to the trickster puppet.

"I want to join the Magical Girl Alliance," said Little Red Riding Hood.

"can."

"Huh?" Little Red Riding Hood was taken aback by such a decisive answer. "So casually?"

“It’s alright, you’ll soon find out that the president of the Alliance is an even more casual person,” Ash said. “Besides, this thing isn’t as good as you think. The Chinese branch is almost bankrupt, and it’s all being held up by Senior Xizi Yue.”

"Okay, so how do I get to see them?"

“Right here.” Ash pointed to the soles of his feet.

"here?"

“I sent her a WeChat message, and she came over right away.”

Ash whispered, reaching into Cinderella's umbrella and pulling out a magic book.

"No, not this one." She muttered, stuffing the magic book back in and continuing to fumble around inside the umbrella. Finally, she found her phone and took it out.

So your Cinderella can also be used as a magic bag, right? How did you manage to hide the phone and the magic book inside?

Ke Mingye tilted his head, stunned, thinking to himself that Bai Zini's wand had so many functions.

Ash lowered his head, opened WeChat, tucked the umbrella handle under his arm, and started typing. He typed in the chat box and clicked send.

"Master, a magical girl says she wants to join the alliance, please come quickly." She said.

Two seconds later, a huge hole, about the size of a football field net, suddenly appeared near the rooftop. The hole was filled with chaotic gray-blue streams of light, like scrambled codes that constituted spacetime.

Immediately afterwards, a dark green tram came crashing out with a clatter, its wheels hitting the ground. The roar of the engine and the sound of the horn overlapped, echoing in the air.

A huge beam of light from the car headlights shone on the face of Little Red Riding Hood, causing her to instinctively cover her eyes. Through the glass, she could see a figure sitting in the driver's seat.

Ke Mingye's brain had completely shut down. He thought to himself, "You magical girls have your own unique means of transportation, right?"

"This is a space-type magic card created by Senior Xi Ziyue, serial number 03, Time Train."

Ash remained expressionless, as she was already used to it. So she put one arm around her shoulder and pulled the frightened Little Red Riding Hood to her side, introducing her to the situation.

After a while, the tram returned to calm, all the lights went out, leaving only the two pumpkin lanterns on the roof still lit. The magical girl, Xi Ziyue, dressed in a light blue cheongsam, opened the tram door and stepped off the tram.

"Is it her?" Xi Ziyue asked.

“Yes, Master, it’s her who wants to join the Alliance,” Ash said.

Xi Ziyue stared at Little Red Riding Hood for a moment, "Your magic is quite unique, Xue. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of magic. Maybe you can create new magic cards like Lily."

As she spoke, she summoned a magic book, and the book, engraved with strange stripes, fell from mid-air and slipped into her hand. She turned to a page and pulled out a blank file.

"Here is your resume. Fill it out and then contact us using the contact information above."
