On Taiping state's social media, a notice with a blue background and white text suddenly topped the trending searches.
The Pacific State Tax Department announced that an investigation team will launch an indefinite investigation into corruption, dereliction of duty, and other issues within the Ministry of Magic. The Deputy Minister stated that this operation could potentially extend back up to twenty years.
This news was like a bombshell in the magical world, igniting everyone's curiosity.
After all, although the coalition government of Taiping State has delegated local autonomy and encouraged free market competition, it has always kept a firm grip on taxation.
Therefore, the IRS's audit was practically tantamount to the United Government announcing that they were going to take action against the Ministry of Magic.
As for how severe this cut is, that depends on whether the Ministry of Magic can withstand an investigation.
Meanwhile, inside the Ministry of Magic.
As soon as Hu Xueting arrived at the office, she saw the minister with his back to her, the atmosphere around him gloomy and oppressive.
"Minister... Minister."
Hu Xueting suddenly became a little nervous and swallowed hard.
Upon hearing this, the woman slowly turned around, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, which, combined with her suit, made her appear indifferent and serious.
Even after a magical girl retires, her rate of decline slows down very, very slowly due to the effects of magic.
Even though the Minister of Magic and Hu Xueting were already in their thirties, they looked to be only in their early twenties at most.
At this moment, the minister's dark red eyes were devoid of any emotion; he simply stared coldly at Hu Xueting.
The Minister of Magic: Her real name is unknown. She was one of the earliest members of the magical girl squad in Taiping Prefecture.
As one of the earliest magical girls, she reached a danger level of A+ at the age of seventeen, making her a true genius with numerous battle achievements.
This is also why she was able to maintain her position as Minister of Magic in Taiping State after retiring at the age of eighteen.
Hu Xueting was her teammate back then, codenamed "Frost and Snow". Before retiring, his danger level was A, which was not weak.
"Xueting, how long have you been with me?"
The minister spoke softly, causing Hu Xueting's face to turn pale. Having been involved in political work for many years, she knew what the minister's words meant.
"..."
Outsiders have no idea what's happening in the minister's office.
Soon after, Hu Xueting walked out of the office with a pale face and slumped into a chair under the concerned gaze of his secretary.
"Boss, are you... alright?"
Secretary Guan said.
Hu Xueting didn't speak, but the atmosphere was terribly oppressive. Only then did she realize that her talisman, which was once called "magical girl," was no longer effective.
The Ministry of Magic must not be investigated.
Her gaze slowly swept across the office, filled with reluctance to leave. She felt extremely unwilling, yet helpless.
Finally, she dismissed her secretary and slowly took out a soul gem from the safe—a gem that was once azure but was now almost black.
This is me when I was once frost and snow.
Taking a deep breath, she gripped the gemstone tightly and whispered wistfully, "This is the last time..."
"Transform!!"
A flash of azure light streaked past.
Almost instantly upon transformation, a mud-like magic engulfed Frost's entire body, causing her immense pain.
In a small tavern located by the sea.
A gentle sea breeze blows, and white doves flutter about.
A witch named "Bubble" slowly emerged from the shadow of the tree.
She slightly raised her head, looked at the distant sky, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.
"A new witch has been born..."
Look away
Bubble turned around and came to the tavern entrance. As soon as she got close, she heard the ghostly howl of the "Gun Witch" coming from inside.
"Waaah! You have no idea how dangerous it was back then. I almost, just a tiny bit, was nailed to death by Jin Yu."
"Fortunately, at the critical moment, a witch with a very beautiful voice saved me, but I still don't know her name."
Ding-a-ling~
Bubble pushed open the door and entered.
Inside the warmly lit tavern, witches dressed in different outfits sat.
And this place is one of the global strongholds of the Witch's Guild, called "Witch's Tavern".
"Bubble is here!"
As soon as they entered the tavern, the witches greeted Bubble, as he was often elusive and they rarely got to see him.
Upon seeing Bubble, the Gun Witch immediately pounced on her, grabbing her cloak and wailing, "Waaaaah! Bubble, listen to me...!"
"Ahem, no need to say anything more, I already know what happened." Bubble forced a smile and pushed the other person away.
Do you remember the characteristics of the witch who saved you?
She asked.
Upon hearing this, the Gun Witch wiped away her tears and began to recall:
"I...I remember her voice had a very rich and elegant air about her, and her legs were very beautiful. She was wearing black pantyhose, and they looked like they felt really, really good. I almost couldn't resist touching them."
"Can you say something useful?"
The witches couldn't help but interrupt.
The Gun Witch simply shook her head: "Hmm... I really don't remember anything else besides that."
The witches almost gave her a flick on the forehead.
However, the witch sitting behind the bar soon spoke up: "No matter what, the Ministry of Magic has offended us this time, so we must retaliate."
"I have no objection!"
The witches all raised their hands; they were the most enthusiastic about retaliating against the Ministry of Magic.
At this moment, a witch whose entire body was blurred spoke up: "Hey! I have a plan, would you like to hear it?"
"tell me the story."
The witches all looked at her.
The witch smiled, snapped her fingers, and brought up the experimental press conference of the Renault Group, released by Lunar Studio.
The witches were familiar with this video; almost everyone had watched it more than ten times. After all, everyone present had bought a lot of stocks to support Hell.
Soon, the entire film finished playing.
The blurry witch asked, "Did you understand?"
The witches lowered their heads and began to whisper amongst themselves:
"I don't understand it at all!"
"I didn't understand, but Miss Hell is so cute! By the way, when will Miss Hell turn into a witch? When she does, we must throw her the best witch banquet ever!"
"This plan is great, I agree!"
"I'm really looking forward to the day when Miss Hell turns into a witch. If I could, I'd lock her in my basement and sleep with her every night. Hmm... just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm ascending to heaven!"
"↑Ha Ren, you seem a bit too perverted. Even I, a witch, find you perverted."
"Hmm... As for me, I plan to give her a dress that I made myself! A witch's wardrobe should have at least ten dresses, right?"
"You're giving me a dress? I'll have to think about what to give you then..."
In the crowd, the Gun Witch scratched her head, suddenly raised her hand, and shouted:
"I understand, you want us to kidnap the magical girl 'Hell'?"
"You don't know anything!"
The blurry witch smacked the gun witch hard on the head with a flick of her wrist.
"Ooh!"
The Gun Witch looked pitiful, crouching down with her head in her hands: "Ouch...it hurts so much."
The blurry witch snorted coldly: "Listen up, all of you."
She rewound the video to the moment the controlled nuclear fusion device exploded, took out a lecture pen, and pointed to the explosion in the very center.
"My point is simple: the controlled nuclear fusion explosion at the Renault Group broke down the barrier between subspace and reality in a short period of time through nuclear reaction equations."
"If we can replicate this technology using the witch's power, then we can..."
As she spoke, the blurry witch projected a blackboard and began to scribble and draw on it.
"This is the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic in Taiping State. Normally, it is hidden in a separate subspace, a space created by a legendary magician two hundred years ago."
"Only those who possess the Ministry of Magic's key can enter or leave the Ministry of Magic through special means."
