I'm a magical girl in the future

Chapter 162 Verification

Yao Guang has been in Yuehua City for a week.

After the meeting of the Council of Seven ended, Yao Guang immediately went to Yuehua City to conduct lie detector tests on the people involved in the "Future Assassin" incident.

The report submitted by Yuheng was too astonishing. The Council of Seven must verify the authenticity of the information before making any further decisions.

The representative of the future assassins, the corrupted magical girl Shui Li, contacted them immediately. Yao Guang subtly inquired about some of the content Yu Heng had reported, and unexpectedly, almost all of it was true.

If even the "loser" wasn't lying, then there seems to be no need to have Noah take a lie detector test.

However, Yao Guang believed that "cross-validation" was also essential, and she had a reason to meet with Noah. Therefore, she stayed in Yuehua City a little longer.

Originally, Yuheng had been unable to contact Noah. However, the day after Yaoguang and Shuili met, he suddenly resumed contact with Noah.

Yao Guang couldn't help but marvel at how smoothly things were going; she was prepared to wait a month or two.

So she made a special appointment to meet Noah today, and she also hoped that Noah could bring her other companions, as she had something important to say.

They finally met as planned at a restaurant.

Beside Noah sat a magical girl with shoulder-length light blonde hair.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Yaoguang. My code name is Fennel." The magical girl next to Noah began by introducing herself.

Yao Guang nodded. However, her attention was clearly not on Hui Xiang, and she quickly looked back at Noah.

"Miss Noah, it's been a long time."

"It's truly a relief that Lady Yaoguang still cares about me," Noah said with a smile. "So, what brings you here specifically to see me?"

""

"Well—I mainly wanted to ask how things are going with the future assassins." After saying that, Yao Guang quickly added, "I just wanted to get to know you as a friend, so don't be too nervous."

Noah chuckled. "Hehe, Lady Yaoguang, if it's just to understand these things, why did you come in person? Yuheng is in Yuehua City; wouldn't it be better for her to come?"

Yao Guang had anticipated Noah's lack of courtesy. After all, Noah knew very well that her intuition could detect lies, and for Noah to come specifically to ask her these questions made her intentions all too obvious.

Yao Guang was not angry after being exposed so mercilessly; she just smiled at Noah.

"Actually, I don't really want to extract anything from you. The information I have is enough to report back to me. But, just to be on the safe side, I'd like to trouble Miss Noah to have a casual chat with me."

Noah pretended to be displeased as if she were being "interrogated" and nodded slightly.

Shui Li has successfully completed her "report." Now, it's her turn to perform.

"By the way, among the future assassins you encountered that day, were three members of the Council of Seven: Evil Celestial Pivot, Celestial Authority, and Celestial Pivot?"

"Yes," Noah said, resting her chin on her hand. "But it wasn't me who encountered it; it was my companion in Gwangyang City who was attacked by the three of them."

"She's just an ordinary person named Shen Zixin," Yao Guang interjected. "Actually, I'm also very curious about how those three failed. They're all at the 'Eternal Shao' level."

This is also the most puzzling aspect for Yao Guang and the Council of Seven. As for Shui Li, she stated that she only knew the three time assassins had perished, but had no idea why they were defeated. Therefore, Yao Guang intends to find the answer from Noah.

"Because someone is protecting Shen Zixin. After all, I have several companions, so it's normal for him to have guards around him."

【real】

Noah's explanation did align with Yaoguang's reasoning. However, Noah still didn't elaborate on the core issue: how to defeat the three "Eternal Radiance" level magical girls.

"—What exactly happened during the battle? Did you also arrange for three 'Eternal Glory' level magical girl guards, Shen Zixin?"

Yao Guang offered her speculation, but it was clearly unreliable. Noah couldn't possibly have anticipated the enemy's troop deployment strategy, so how could she have arranged so many bodyguards around Shen Zixin beforehand?

"Ah, this—" Noah gave a meaningful smile, "I can't tell you, after all, it's our secret."

They refused to answer very decisively.

Yao Guang smiled slightly; she wasn't necessarily determined to get a result. Then, she asked a few more questions, and the answers she received were mostly truthful.

Finally, after asking the last question, Yao Guang breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her chopsticks. "Miss Noah, thank you for your cooperation. Come on, let's eat quickly, the food will get cold if we don't eat soon."

"Phew—" The sound came from Fennel. She had been waiting for them to talk, and she was almost suffocating from the wait. Noah and Yaoguang had been chatting and hadn't eaten yet, so she naturally felt too embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks.

So, the three of them finally started having lunch.

However, for Yao Guang, her true purpose was only just beginning.

She picked up a chicken leg, placed it on her plate, and casually asked, "Miss Noah, actually I quite admire you. From the first time we met, I knew your fundamental purpose was to save the world. Therefore, I have complete trust in you."

"Back then, in that poll to capture you, I actually voted against it."

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Yaoguang." Noah straightened her expression slightly and responded with a somewhat serious tone.

"Miss Noah, there's no need to be so formal," Yao Guang continued, placing a few more pieces of meat onto her plate. "So, I have something personal I want to ask you. Do you know what happened to me in the future?"

Before Noah could reply, Fennel's lips curved into a smile. Having memories of the future, she naturally knew Yao Guang's fate.

Noah put down her chopsticks and stared intently at Yaoguang. "So you already had that plan in mind."

""

"Yes," Yao Guang replied casually, continuing to put food on her plate. "After all, this is my dream, and I've been planning this for a long time. Can you tell me the result?"

"Of course I failed," Noah answered bluntly. "Do you need me to explain in detail how you failed?"

"I don't need it now." Yao Guang looked at the plate in front of her, which was piled high with food, and finally stopped picking at it.

"Since it's a failed plan anyway, listening to the specific reasons for the failure will only make me very frustrated."

Then, Yao Guang put down her chopsticks and looked firmly at Noah—

"So, would you like to join me? Let's create a better world together in the future."

"So, all this time you were trying to recruit me." Noah was both amused and exasperated. Yao Guang's question about "that matter" had this hidden meaning besides confirming its success.

Yao Guang glanced at Hui Xiang, then returned her gaze to Noah.

"You and your team can join me. I will not keep this glory to myself, and I will bear the consequences of this crime alone."

"Failure is rebellion, success is revolution."
