Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

"The southern part of the city has been very peaceful lately..."

Jin Yu said with a gloomy face, her gentle voice also tinged with hoarseness.

Her head was slightly lowered, and her eyelids were half-closed, as if she was suppressing something.

"Yes, sometimes when people see a monster, their first instinct isn't to run away, but to wait and see how the monster gets killed in the next second."

Mu Ming replied calmly.

"So what about you? Are you the kind who runs away, or the kind who stays and waits?" Jin Yu asked.

"I'm a magical girl, why should I run away?" Unless I can't win.

Click-clack—

"?"

Mu Ming looked at Jin Yu's fist; it must have made a cracking sound just now...

What does it mean?

Are we going to fight him?

Jin Yu slowly raised her head, slowing her speech to ensure that every word was clearly heard:

"Muming, let me confirm one last time, have you really encountered any calamity beasts recently?"

Mu Ming nodded, then saw Jin Yu's expression turn completely serious.

"Then why don't you have any trace of corrupted magic on you? People who come into close contact with calamity beasts will almost always pick up some of their scent."

After advancing to the third tier, [Devour] is stronger than before.

It's not that more magic power was converted, but rather that when it absorbed the magic power of a D-rank calamity beast, it didn't leave a faint aura like before.

The magic power of the C-rank disaster beasts was not absorbed due to insufficient efficiency.

Generally speaking, unclean magic and magical girl magic will dissolve upon contact, so it's strange that a magical girl is always tainted with unclean magic.

However, this reason cannot be given to Yu Jinyu.

The reason Mu Ming called himself a "magical girl" in front of Jin Yu was because... Jin Yu didn't believe he was a magical girl.

"Because my magical girl companion helped me get rid of it," Mu Ming said.

Living in the same city and being from wealthy families, Mu Ming found it hard to believe that Jin Yu and Li Huanhuan had absolutely no contact.

That's indeed the case, but according to Li Huanhuan, they know each other, but aren't close.

Considering that Li Huanhuan had spent a considerable amount of time with him, Jin Yu would notice sooner or later.

So they had coordinated their statements beforehand, which prevented them from being discovered.

"Still lying..." Jin Yu murmured to herself.

Mu Ming's answer precisely proves that he was lying.

When ordinary people encounter calamity beasts, they are tainted with a very small amount of unclean magical energy, which will dissipate on its own if left unattended.

There's absolutely no need for a magical girl to remove it.

Moreover, he already has a psychological understanding of magical girls, so how could he not know the common knowledge that outward magic and filthy magic would cancel each other out?

If she truly considered herself a magical girl, she wouldn't say something like "Help my companions remove it."

He just spoke without thinking...

"Is that so? Then can I see your magical girl companion?" Jin Yu laughed angrily, the corners of her mouth almost curling up to the top, revealing a strange smile that didn't match her elegant temperament.

"Is a photo enough?" Mu Ming asked.

"You're quite well prepared." Jin Yu squinted at him and said in a deep voice:

"Can."

It's probably just a few scattered photos of magical girls' backs.

He might start pretending to be crazy again. Jin Yu would never tolerate him running away like this again.

Mu Ming handed over his phone; it contained a set of photos that Li Huanhuan had made.

He doesn't have the habit of taking photos; the only photos of himself in his album are ID photos and graduation photos.

Even in his junior high school graduation photo, his face was photoshopped on, and he looked much fairer than his classmates.

Jin Yu took the phone, her smile froze, and then she became serious.

"This child has become a magical girl too."

The album contains not only photos of Li Huanhuan and Mu Ming hanging out together, but also some photos of Li Huanhuan after her transformation.

Of course, there is no such thing as Wu An.

If it were just one-sided photos, Jin Yu could deduce that this was an integrated photo album made by Li Huanhuan, which was then used by Mu Ming.

But Mu Ming's figure appears in many photos... So even when he's with these young girls, he looks half-dead...

Jin Yu's gaze lingered between the photograph and Mu Ming, who was scraping a lunchbox; that expression was impossible to fake.

A photo album melted away most of her temper.

But... it's school time now. Even if Mu Ming really has contact with Li Huanhuan, she looks like an excellent student, and she doesn't work in the Bureau of Statistics. Plus, she definitely attends a good school in the city center, so it's unlikely that she would encounter a monster.

Therefore, it's impossible for Li Huanhuan to skip class with him.

Moreover, all of these photos were taken at night; not a single one was taken at dawn.

This doesn't explain his absence from school during the day—Muming was still lying to himself...

However, he's quite shrewd; he actually managed to hook up with this kind of girl.

Noticing a subtle sense of smugness in her heart, Jin Yu sniffed in annoyance.

Gossiping is human nature, and listening to the gossip of those around us is especially intriguing.

This album is an embedded album of "Xinda", which means... you can try to see Muming and Li Huanhuan's chat history.

She glanced at it, and after confirming that Mu Ming wasn't looking at her, she wanted to take a look.

"You can't look at anything else."

The soft voice rang out just as she was about to press the "back" button.

She sighed inwardly, but said with a hint of annoyance, "I would never do such a thing."

It's okay if we can't see it now, since the fact that Mu Ming skipped class and lied to her hasn't changed. We can still use this to teach him a lesson later.

Jin Yu looked at the tea in the cup again. She was initially somewhat resistant, but if she had been in contact with Li Huanhuan, it would be normal to receive such a gift.

She took a sip of the poorly brewed tea and continued asking:

How do you know her?

"She was hit on the leg by the car that the monster overturned, and I killed the monster."

Jin Yu smiled awkwardly. She felt it was more likely that Li Huanhuan had been chosen by the Seed of Heart, and Mu Ming happened to be there.

However, it would be normal for them to become acquainted because of this.

Mu Ming put away the empty takeout order and placed it at the door.

He stopped in front of the door, rummaged in the pocket of his coat, and pulled out a small gift box.

There's no time like the present, and since I just happened to meet Jin Yu today, I might as well deliver the gift.

Who knew Zhu Huan would come back so suddenly?

He wasn't worried about Jin Yu refusing the gift, since Jin Yu was known for her kind heart. Even if she looked down on a cheap gift, she wouldn't express her dissatisfaction to his face. At most, she would just throw it away or put it in a locker behind his back.

Mu Ming had considered using more expensive materials, but after taking into account Jin Yu's family background, he realized that in Mu Ming's eyes, there might be no difference between more expensive and ordinary materials.

There's not enough time.

Fortunately, Zhu Huan's aesthetic sense made up for this. The prototype of "Blessing" is very beautiful, combining both beauty and restraint, which is very suitable for Jin Yu.

"Could you please accept this?"

"This is..."

Jin Yu accepted the gift without hesitation, opened the gift box, and paused for a moment.

Inside is a beautifully crafted butterfly hair clip, seemingly imbued with magical properties. Although the material is a bit lacking, its overall quality is still excellent.

Make her fall in love at first sight.

But... why does it have a bit of tainted magic on it? It's probably from a C-rank calamity beast.
