Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Yinlian then realized he was asking about Jiang Keke. "Uh, no."

Actually, she was injured when dealing with the disaster beast, so she initially thought the question was directed at herself, but it turned out to be another misunderstanding.

I want to die...

"Oh, that's all."

It was very cold, though.

But did he actually care about Jiang Keke just now?

Having confirmed this, Yinlian felt more confident and asked, "What are your thoughts on magical girls?"

"powerful."

"Um, what would you think if Jiang Keke became a magical girl?"

"I can't beat her." (If I don't transform.)

Yinlian raised her right hand and rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache.

Because the other party's answer was genuinely sincere, without any perfunctory or joking tone.

My sister transforms into a magical girl, and my first thought is, "Will I be unable to beat her in the future?"

How do you two siblings usually live? Do you even hit your own sister?

However, she felt that Jiang Si was simply answering from a combat power perspective, and did not mean that she would actually fight with her sister.

Yinlian wasn't stupid; she had seen what family relationships would be like after a fight.

Although Jiang Keke was cold and somewhat disgusted with her brother, she was far from harboring hatred to the point of fighting with him.

“Actually, magical girls don’t usually use this power to fight with their families.” She explained seriously, “The Disaster Management Bureau will carefully manage this powerful force.”

"Oh, are you a staff member of the Disaster Management Bureau?"

"They are non-official staff, only responsible for guiding magical girls to join the Disaster Management Bureau. Of course, they are just ordinary students in their daily lives, as the Disaster Management Bureau believes that it is easier to communicate with peers..."

This is a lie. Jiang Si has a partial list of magical girls from the BH City Disaster Management Bureau.

Yinlian, 15 years old, 1.5 meters tall, is the captain of the BH City Magical Girl Squad. She is a pink magical girl who specializes in mental attacks. She has both parents and an older sister who also works at the Disaster Management Bureau.

They are not unofficial personnel, but actual combat personnel.

I didn't expect them to send a core member directly to find Jiang Keke; they're showing a lot of sincerity.

However, it's understandable. In the past two years, all the magical girls born in Beihai have been intercepted by Qingyun Sect—Bing Tang can always find magical girls that the Disaster Prevention Bureau can't find.

The BH City Disaster Management Bureau, unable to recruit enough people, was even forced to transfer magical girls from other cities to help.

The disaster relief bureaus in other cities were not in such a bad situation. Not only were they helpless against a civilian free magical girl organization, but they also couldn't compete with them in terms of recruiting girls, and were forced to borrow magical girls from other cities.

This once raised the question: which side is the official organization?

So it's quite normal to send a captain to recruit a new magical girl when a new one is born.

Jiang Si didn't intend to expose Yinlian's lie, but simply went along with it, saying, "Coco has become a magical girl? You can just take her to the Disaster Prevention Bureau to register, right?"

After registering, you will become an official magical girl, receiving a salary from the municipal government, with your identity kept confidential and your daily safety guaranteed by the Disaster Management Bureau.

“Jiang Keke is not yet an adult and needs to be accompanied by her family. Furthermore, she seems hesitant about joining the Disaster Management Bureau,” Yinlian said worriedly. “I’m very worried she’ll become a free-spirited magical girl. With the increasing number of disaster beasts and the Qingyun Sect’s activities becoming more frequent, being a free-spirited magical girl is dangerous, and being tricked into joining the Qingyun Sect would be even more dangerous…”

"Several magical girls have been lured in before and have disappeared without a trace. That hateful Qingyun Sect, one day they will all be captured!"

Looking at Yinlian, who was gritting her teeth, Jiang Si remained expressionless. "She is truly hateful."

After regaining her composure, Yinlian continued, "In short, I hope you can persuade Jiang Keke to register as an official magical girl with the Disaster Management Bureau. This would also help avoid being targeted by the Qingyun Sect. I know your relationship might not be very good, but she is, after all, your only family member. As long as you are willing to speak up, she will surely listen, right?"

After clearing the table, Jiang Si, out of politeness, poured her a cup of tea. "Would you like something to eat? I'll make you something."

"Thank you, but no need, I already ate before I came..."

Of course, even if she said she wanted to eat, Jiang Si didn't plan to cook. After all, the kitchen was already cleaned up, and he wasn't in the mood to cook.

At most, I'll order her some takeout.

"Let's get back to Jiang Keke's matter..."

“I don’t intend to interfere with her choice.” Jiang Si interrupted her. “She’s already in the second year of junior high school and has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. If she doesn’t want to go, she probably has her own reasons. It’s not appropriate for me to let her go to the Disaster Management Bureau without even knowing her reasons.”

Jiang Si's words cut off Yinlian's prepared remarks. She stared at him blankly for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "I think she might not know what's best, and she might make a decision she'll regret. That's why she needs an adult to help her..."

“I’m not that much older than her, and my decision is unlikely to be the best one either.”

Jiang Si pushed the teacup she had poured towards her. "Thinking that the decisions you make for your child are the best is just adult arrogance. Why can't your child regret it? Children have the right to choose and should also bear the consequences of their decisions, whether it's failure or success. They should have the right to experience and taste those consequences. She's already in the second year of junior high; it's time for her to be independent."

For a moment, Yinlian felt as if she wasn't chatting with a senior who was a year ahead of her.

Instead, it was an elder.

Jiang Si's tone didn't sound like Coco's brother, but rather like Coco's father.

More importantly, there was no sense of superiority in his tone. Whether it was his attitude towards Coco or towards her, it was like communicating with a peer.

In the past, people would always look down on Yinlian because of her height, or treat her like a child.

Jiang Si's wary distance, even with a touch of caution, while not exactly friendly, made Yinlian feel respected.

Moreover, he was genuinely considering Coco's best interests, and he wasn't the cold-hearted person Coco described.

When she first became a magical girl, her family constantly tried to stop her. Her parents wanted her to give up becoming a magical girl. If it weren't for her older sister, she might still be just an ordinary student now.

Adults' decisions are not always the best, and when they make wrong decisions, they cannot take responsibility for their children.

After pondering for a moment, Yinlian nodded in agreement: "You're right, Coco should be allowed to decide for herself."

Jiang Si added, "Of course I want to go and see the Disaster Management Bureau."

It would be best if we could see where your miracle seeds are located.

"Then Jiang Keke will need to register."

After answering Jiang Si's question, she suddenly whispered, "Actually, Senior Jiang Si cares about Coco a lot, doesn't he?"

Jiang Si raised an eyebrow but did not answer her.

I don't know how she figured it out; her thought process is quite unique.

Fortunately, Yinlian didn't continue the topic. Instead, she lowered her head and said, "Then I'll go ask Jiang Keke for her opinion. As her senior, I will definitely take good care of her."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

Jiang Si suddenly glanced out the window; it was already dark outside. He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you staying here tonight?"

"Huh? Is that okay?"

Jiang Si rubbed her forehead. "I was the one asking you that."

He hates it when people answer his questions with questions.

She got up and went upstairs. "I'll put the bedding outside the door later, you can take it yourself."

Yinlian blinked and said from below, "How about Senior Jiang Si knocks on the door and I can open it for you?"

"It's best not to."

"Hehe, just kidding."

After watching Jiang Si leave, Yinlian took a breath and returned to Jiang Keke's bedroom.

Looking at Jiang Keke, who was hugging a doll and staring blankly, he said seriously, "Jiang Keke, did you hear that? Your brother wants you to make your own decisions. He wants you to live an independent life."

Jiang Keke pouted, "It's just sweet talk; he's just afraid of trouble."

"I think he's sincere. I can feel it. You have to trust a magical girl's intuition. I don't think he's as mean or cold as you think. He's very respectful of others and didn't treat me like a child just because I'm small..."

"Oh, so he really does treat everyone the same." Jiang Keke shrugged. "Treat everyone the same, even if it's troublesome."

Yinlian sat down on the chair next to her and leaned back. "Never mind, I'm not here to change your attitude towards your brother. It's mainly about the magical girl thing. Do you want to join the Disaster Management Bureau?"

Slumped on the bed, clutching her doll, Jiang Keke mumbled, "Let me think about it some more..."

"Okay, okay, I'll stay with you until you've thought it through."

"But it doesn't matter if we go and take a look first."

"Great! Your older brother also really wants to visit the Disaster Management Bureau, so this will be a good opportunity to fulfill his wish."

"Hey, you should be more concerned about me."

"What does it matter..."

With a sigh, Jiang Keke didn't say anything more to Yinlian.

Compared to someone as indifferent as Jiang Si, she was more interested in knowing what Teacher Ziyuan thought.

Would she want to join the Disaster Management Bureau? According to Yinlian, Teacher Ziyuan might be the leader of the Qingyun Sect.

Why did you save me? And after saving me, why didn't you take me with you like you did with the other magical girls before, and let me join the Qingyun Sect?

I can't figure it out at all.

I wish we could meet again...

Chapter 11: It's all the same magic.

Jiang Si wasn't too surprised that her younger sister ultimately decided to go to the Disaster Management Bureau.

Although their relationship deteriorated after their parents passed away, in the past three years, he would occasionally come home to find Jiang Keke watching magical girl-related programs on TV in the living room.

Some are real-time news reports about which monsters magical girls have eliminated and how many people they have saved; others are variety shows.

Magical girls also need to make money, mainly because the Disaster Management Bureau needs funds to operate, so making money through magical girl idolization is a common practice.

Variety shows, games, TV movies, and more often invite magical girls to participate in their own performances.

Jiang Keke's biggest concern is that blue magical girl from back then, named Cui Que, who was their savior.

Although she never said it herself, Jiang Si, who had raised her for so many years, could tell that she had always felt guilty because she had inadvertently blamed Cui Que for not coming to save her parents sooner.

I often try to find out how to contact the larkspur, and I even wrote a letter to her before.

Unfortunately, it all disappeared without a trace.
