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

Flamingos always behave differently when they're around their idols...

However, the twins felt a bit neglected.

"Uh, Captain."

Captain Vine ignored her.

"Oh, Miss Flamingo."

They were ignored.

hateful!

What's going on? This feeling of being excluded when it comes to twins.

Shouldn't the captain be someone I have complete control over?

Then he looked down and saw the Gu worms crawling towards him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's alright now, there's just one poor wretch left.

We share the same plight...

"Contact the Qingyun Sect."

The mournful sound, like a terrifying voice emanating from hell, made both of them tremble.

I almost peed because I drank too much water.

She tilted her head: "Uh, that's not a good idea."

"I told you to contact the Qingyun Sect!" Chi Lian's sinister voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "Stop pretending, call the Qingyun Sect over! I want to see how long this bitch can hold out."

"Start the timer! Start the timer now!"

Please vote for my book and recommend it!

In short, I managed to stay at number 11 on the monthly ticket ranking. Although it will likely drop later, it's still a pleasant surprise to have made it this far. Thank you all for your support. I'm still asking for more monthly tickets so I can stay here a little longer.

Today's update of over 20,000 words is finally over. It really felt like a tribulation for me. There were so many things I didn't understand, and I wrote so slowly. I was so anxious at the end. I should take a break after this. Everyone, please let me save up some drafts.

Also, a special thank you to the great He Shouyue Manchi for the recommendation. As you can see, this book uses a lot of references and settings from "Gou Zai Chu Sheng Mo Men Dang Ren Cai". In short, it's really good. Although it doesn't really need my recommendation, I still recommend it to everyone. It's very good!

Chapter 96: This is the moment of death

There are no magical girls in this world.

An Shiyu knew about this when she was very young.

Because when she was in Beihai, no matter how many times she prayed, her illness never improved.

Her presence never seemed to bring any happiness or joy.

Magical girl anime was popular in Beihai for a period of time.

A miracle that can grant any wish, a hero who can save everyone.

However, that was fake.

She decided she would never believe in magical girls again.

She was six years old that year.

Until she left Beihai, she had never heard of or seen any real magical girl.

To seek treatment for her illness, her parents took a bus from Beihai to Hulin City.

Then they were involved in a terrible car accident on the road.

That car accident killed many people.

An Shiyu also lost hearing in her right ear due to the car accident, and was left with a somewhat unsightly scar on her neck.

As a result, my mother was hospitalized and became hemiplegic, and my father lost his job not long after.

The family, which was doing quite well before, suddenly found itself in dire straits.

She was still sent to the neighboring city of Hulin.

At the hospital, her parents held her hands and gently told her to listen to the doctor and not to run around.

They're just going to a very far place and won't be back for a long time.

However, An Shiyu never got to see her parents again.

We waited from winter to spring, and from spring to summer.

The girl's small wish was never fulfilled.

Whether it's hoping that their illness will get better.

I still hope my parents can come back to visit me.

Unfulfilled desires will only wither away, until they are swept away by the river of time.

It became an endless despair.

Because this world is just so dull and ordinary.

An Shiyu is very lucky.

After leaving the hospital, a kind person arranged for her to enter a welfare home.

Although there were no signs of improvement in the condition, there were also no signs of it worsening.

And so the days went by, one after another.

She rarely initiates conversations with people and has never considered making friends with anyone.

Because sooner or later, I will die.

But there was a girl in the orphanage who always liked to pester her.

Because he always liked to ramble on and on, and could talk nonstop when he started, everyone at the orphanage called him Sparrow.

Sparrow was not popular in the orphanage because of her chatter; no one wanted to play with her.

Only An Shiyu wouldn't chase her away, so whenever she had free time, she would sit next to her and talk about all sorts of things.

The most talked-about topic is actually magical girls.

Magical girls are so dazzling and beautiful, like princesses.

A radiant girl, performing miracles, defeating all monsters...

She really, really loves magical girls and always fantasizes about their existence.

That was something An Shiyu had given up on long ago.

Because what she said was so annoying, An Shiyu asked her one day:

Do you want to become a magical girl?

Unexpectedly, the sparrow told her, "I, I can't become a magical girl."

"I'm not pretty, I'm not strong, and I'm afraid of pain and monsters..."

What monsters are there in Hulin City?

An Shiyu found it all quite amusing that Sparrow had seriously considered the matter.

If you admire that kind of person, then you must want to become that kind of person.

A dazzling magical girl who can grant other people's dreams.

She longed to become a magical girl, but felt too inferior to realize she couldn't.

Of course, An Shiyu herself had long since outgrown the days of dreaming about magical girls.

So, the boys from the orphanage, because of the sparrows, ran up to her and said, "When magical girls don't even exist."

An Shiyu just smiled.

Whether it was mocking herself or trying to attract her attention, An Shiyu didn't care about this matter anymore.

The wish she wanted to fulfill had long since vanished.

Even if a real magical girl came to her, she wouldn't know how to make a wish.

Miracles are only for those who have no desires.

Tiny and insignificant.

She simply waited quietly for her death.

Like a completely unrelated outsider, watching everything that happens in the world.

Until the world abandoned her.

She was twelve years old that year.

If possible, living a peaceful life until death would be the best thing.

However, the world never allowed her life to be too easy.

It's been like this since birth.

She had grown accustomed to the unexpected events that always occurred. The orphanage soon followed suit as well.

A group of strangers arrived, and although no one knew why, the familiar staff members were all dismissed.

They didn't know where they were taken.

The activity space was moved underground.

Then, as time went on, everyone was trapped underground and could never get out.

They were locked in the basement, with guards at the door; anyone who approached would be driven back.

Without exception, the children who wanted to venture out learned a lesson.

A child who stole a key almost opened the door and was taken to a very far place.

When she returned, she stopped speaking and just kept crying.
