Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

"You're only telling me now that it's so important?!"

Li Huanhuan clenched her fists, staring at Mu Ming in disbelief, her breathing becoming heavier.

"Is this something serious?" Mu Ming asked, puzzled.

He couldn't understand why Jin Yu and Li Huanhuan reacted so strongly to his trip out.

"This isn't big enough?? I'll buy a ticket too... Tsk! You should have told me beforehand. It's too late, there are no tickets left for this week's trains. I might have to go there next week. Let me see if there's any other way..."

Li Huanhuan looked annoyed, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes deepened.

It felt like being betrayed.

"You should stay in Changming City."

Mu Ming's words made Li Huanhuan, who was constantly dialing her phone, stop. She asked in a muffled voice:

Why?

"There might be problems in Changming City in a while, and I need someone to keep an eye on things for me."

"How did you know? Have you awakened the gift of precognition?"

Mu Ming shook his head; in truth, he wasn't sure if there would be any problems.

The countdown simply exists; it doesn't explicitly state what calamity it represents.

It also doesn't specify where it will happen. Will it follow Mu Ming to Qishan City, or will it occur in Changming City, where Mu Ming is stationed?

Since the situation is unclear, we can only prepare for both sides.

Li Huanhuan has now absorbed most of the Immaculate Heart Flower and reached the fourth level, but she hasn't revealed it yet, otherwise the Bureau of Control would have come knocking on her door long ago.

With her here keeping an eye on things, Mu Ming can quickly find out if anything happens.

"What's your basis for thinking that problems will arise soon?" Li Huanhuan asked.

Judging from her posture, it seemed as if she would follow me recklessly if I didn't give her a reasonable answer.

It's really troublesome. Mu Ming went to Qishan City, not to leave her behind to go play. Besides, Qishan is such a small and run-down place, what's there to miss?

There might even be a stronghold of the Phantom Society. Although Qishan is not large, it harbors many hidden dangers.

"I can't explain this either, just consider it a sixth sense."

In short, you stay here. I'm not sure about the situation, and I don't have anyone else I can rely on. I still need you to keep an eye on Changming City.

Her displeasure softened considerably, but she still kept nagging like a leech:

"Are you ordering me around...?"

"Strictly speaking, it's a request. After all, the sky's the limit, and I can't keep an eye on you after I leave."

"That's not how you ask for favors."

A malicious smile crept onto Li Huanhuan's face.

"So you want me to force you to accept it?" Mu Ming said immediately.

Although Li Huanhuan's rank is higher, it was ultimately achieved through external means. Even if the system says that absorbing the Heart Flower has no side effects, her unstable foundation and weak aura are still inevitable.

During this period, Mu Ming also accumulated a wealth of practical experience, and he did not think he would lose if it really came down to a fight.

"Hmph! Isn't this just an order..." she retorted.

"So, are you going to do it, or not?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't do it." She laughed mischievously, and it was really strange that she could laugh like that.

"Then I'm off." After arranging things, Mu Ming set off to go back.

"Hey, what time are you leaving tomorrow? I'll come see you off." Li Huanhuan hurriedly chased after her.

"unnecessary."

"Yes, yes! You left me all alone and ran off, won't you let me see you off?"

......

I'm sorry, I have something to do this morning and can't take you.

I told her so many times last night that I didn't need Jin Yu to send her off, but she just wouldn't take it seriously. She's so stubborn that it's incomprehensible. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Mu Ming was never coming back.

Fortunately, Jin Yu is a public servant, so even if he touched it a little bit, there are always times when he can't get away from it.

That's just right.

I can walk alone.

Mu Ming replied.

Once you've boarded the bus and settled into your hotel, please remember to let me know.

"..."

Jin Yu shouldn't be like this, at least he shouldn't be such a long-winded person.

In my memory, Jin Yu should always be smiling gently, but with a slight distance from everyone else.

Mu Ming had no idea how or why she had become like this.

But all he knew was that Jin Yu had many orphans under her care, and if she treated everyone like this, she would eventually be exhausted.

I estimate it won't be long before she returns to normal.

Mu Ming tidied himself up, took a few changes of clothes, and went downstairs.

As soon as I stepped out of the residential area, I saw Li Huanhuan.

It was early winter, and the bare trees were still covered in frost in the morning, which complemented her silver hair that fluttered in the breeze. Although she had a scarf around her neck, she was only wearing sheer white and black stockings under her beige skirt, making it hard to tell whether she was cold or hot.

She was carrying a bulging insulated bag in her arms. She arrived before Mu Ming, and there was still a hint of anger in her deep blue eyes, as if she was still annoyed by his abrupt departure.

Upon meeting, she shoved the bag into Mu Ming's hand, her pink lips slightly pouting.

"This is for your journey."

There were several kinds of fancy breads inside, and they smelled delicious.

Like the kind that's just been made in a bakery.

Although Mu Ming often passed by bakeries, the food there was generally not cheap, so he rarely went in.

"Thanks."

Hehe~

Upon hearing this, she immediately changed her expression, chuckled, and came closer, wrapping her arms around Mu Ming's arm.

"You haven't transformed yet," he reminded him.

After transforming, I have a female body, so it's understandable that I'm being hugged, but I haven't transformed yet.

There's a certain subtlety about men and women linking arms with each other.

"It's okay, I don't mind."

"I mind."

"You're still bothered by this! I'm keeping an eye on Changming City for you." As she spoke, she tightened her grip on his arm. "Let's go, don't miss your train."

Although Li Huanhuan said that, she dawdled on the way. Mu Ming was in a hurry to leave, so she said, "What are you afraid of? We can fly there anyway."

We dawdled and finally arrived at the station half an hour before departure—with such an expensive ticket, it was definitely worth coming early.

Mu Ming withdrew all his magic and passed through security smoothly, while Li Huanhuan and the others stopped outside the pick-up and drop-off line to watch him.

"Hmm..."

Watching the other person walk towards the gate without looking back, a faint sense of loneliness welled up in her heart.

"Seriously, they got up early to see you off, and you didn't even say goodbye..."

She was thinking to herself when she saw Mu Ming standing at the gate with bread in his hand, turning around.

With a calm, expressionless face, he turned to Li Huanhuan, raised his arm, and shook it a few times.

Li Huanhuan quickly raised her arm and waved it vigorously.

He couldn't help but smile.

......

"There are so few people."

This was Mu Ming's first impression of the high-speed rail. Although almost every seat was occupied, it felt like there were at most twenty people in a carriage.

However, its size is about the same as the carriages I remember. If it were decorated in a more classical style, it could rival the legendary Orient Express.

The people on the high-speed train weren't all shady characters; they all looked respectable.

Mu Ming found his spot at a glance, put his things away, and then sat down in the sofa-like chair and closed his eyes to catch up on some sleep.

Just as the train was about to depart, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and Mu Ming opened his eyes upon sensing the movement.

I noticed someone coming from the opposite seat.

The reaction of the Seed of the Heart is that it is a magical girl.

He closed his eyes again.

Crunch, crunch—

The sound of knives and forks scraping against one's ear suddenly arose.

"?!"

Mu Ming opened his eyes.

He had only heard that sound once, but he could never forget it—it was the terrible sound he heard the first time he opened [???].
