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

"explain."

Coco avoided Jiang Si's gaze and glanced at the repaired floor.

She suddenly realized that she really knew very little about this blood relative.

She didn't know how Jiang Si had dealt with her relatives in the past, nor did she know what Jiang Si had done over the years.

As the younger sister, Coco has always taken everything in her life for granted.

But when she spoke with her second uncle on the phone earlier, she had a vague feeling that this wasn't the case.

Relatives aren't so easy to talk to, even those who owe the family so much money; they don't really take her kind requests seriously.

Ultimately, the two children, who lost their parents' protection, could not have achieved their current stable life by relying on the pity and sympathy of relatives and others, nor could they have done so through their own pleas.

There aren't that many truly philanthropic people in this world who are willing to help others unconditionally. It's incredibly naive and childish to imagine that because you've lost your parents, everyone will help you unconditionally, especially in the long run.

Over the past three years, due to the Cold War, she had learned far too little about Jiang Si, so much so that when she saw Zi Yuan and Jiang Si together, she couldn't think of any reason why.

Only now are we slowly starting to find the qualities in the other person that make Ms. Shion fall for them.

For example, he lived independently for three years without relying on anyone.

She remained silent for a long time, while Jiang Si just sat there, completely unhurried, occasionally taking a sip of water, as if she were already thinking about other things.

After a long while, she finally gathered her thoughts, took a deep breath, and asked, "May I ask how you and Ms. Ziyuan met?"

"happen."

"happen?"

Jiang thought for a moment, "I'll run into him on my way home from school on Saturday."

Coco then remembered that Jiang Si hadn't gone home at that time, and Captain Yinlian had been saying she couldn't find him.

It turned out that I had met Teacher Ziyuan.

You've only known each other for two days? And you've already gone on dates after just two days? That's way too fast...

A sense of doubt and regret arose in my heart. If only I had found Jiang Si back then.

But she quickly suppressed these emotions.

"What did you two talk about?"

"They asked me about you."

Coco's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists. "What did they ask?"

"Regarding your grades, your strength as a magical girl, and your interpersonal relationships."

After thinking about it, I realized that these were indeed things I would ask, so it wasn't exactly lying to her.

Jiang Si has always been upright and honest in his work, and he never lies.

"What did you say to her?"

"Normal answer." Jiang Si stood up. "Good grades, good ability, good interpersonal relationships. That's all. If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, he prepared to go upstairs.

"My score is 30 points higher than last time."

Coco stood up and raised her voice, "My strength has also increased. Silver Lotus said I'll be able to reach New Seedling soon. As for my interpersonal relationships, I've recently become good friends with Captain Silver Lotus."

Jiang Si stopped and looked back, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Coco picked up a rag and casually wiped the table. With her head down, she said, "Next time you meet her, you can answer her like this."

"Oh."

There's no need to answer; I've already heard it.

As he was thinking this, he had just started walking up the stairs when Coco called out to him from behind, "Wait a minute, I have something I want to ask you..."

"Say everything at once."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Coco also pulled her hand back slightly. Although the words were not malicious, their coldness still stung her. "So, will you bring Ms. Shion to our house in the future?"

That's a difficult question to ask.

However, one has to ask, since they are a couple, it's normal for him to bring his girlfriend home.

Even staying overnight is quite normal...

The air seemed to freeze, making time stand still for Coco; she even felt that the agonizing wait was rather long.

It felt like I had attended three classes.

It wasn't until Jiang Si replied, "I won't bother you," that things finally calmed down.

Coco's expression was a mixture of anticipation and hesitation: "If she's coming, could you tell me in advance?"

"Try your best."

Watching Jiang Si go upstairs, Coco finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Although the fact that Ms. Ziyuan was with Jiang Si made her feel uncomfortable and awkward.

But it would be good to have more opportunities to see Ms. Shion in the future...

Coco then laughed at her own attempt to find humor in her predicament, and lay down on the table, gently bumping her head against it.

Regardless of the relationship between Jiang Si and Zi Yuan, she should first try to get closer to Teacher Zi Yuan.

Perhaps she can teach me how to use magic, just like Hyacinth-senpai did.

As for the fact that she is now prohibited from entering the Disaster Management Bureau due to her relationship with Jiang Si and Zi Yuan, and can only act with Captain Yin Lian, that is not a big deal.

As she was fantasizing about how to ask Ms. Shion to teach her, her phone suddenly rang.

I glanced at it; it was a message from the Disaster Management Bureau.

"A large number of calamity beasts will appear tomorrow. All team members, please prepare for battle."

I wanted to contact Captain Yinlian to ask what happened, but I couldn't get through on the phone.

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to talk about it.

……

Bing Tang looked at the gradually dissipating Violet Puppet with a regretful expression.

Although they had done their best to get the puppet back, it was too late. By the time it returned to the Qingyun Sect, it had already lost its shape.

By the time they reached him, before Bing Tang could even reach out, the Violet Puppet had already begun to vanish into thin air.

I don't know when the next puppet will be made...

"Lord Bing Tang, we've received a message from Susan."

When she came to her senses, Yotsuba was staring at her with a serious expression, holding a mirror in her hands.

Susan still needed to rely on her divination abilities to send out the information.

"Didn't Susan say that the Disaster Management Bureau is cracking down on things now?"

"I heard that a large number of disaster beasts have been detected about to appear. The Disaster Management Bureau is very busy and somewhat chaotic right now. She finally had the opportunity to send out the intelligence."

Bing Tang frowned slightly. "A large number of calamity beasts are about to appear?"

"Yes." Four Leaf's face showed some worry. "The Disaster Management Bureau's monitoring of disaster beasts is technology that was sent down from their headquarters. It has never made a mistake. They are planning to abandon the area to the south. The people from the Disaster Management Bureau also notified us in advance."

"Heh, saying they're giving up is really just dumping the problem on us."

Bing Tang wasn't too surprised; the Disaster Management Bureau had always done things this way, and the two sides had reached a tacit understanding. "How many sect disciples are left in the south?"

"Three sprouts, one seedling."

"That's enough."

The disciples of Qingyun Sect are assigned to different areas in groups of four. Generally, a new magical girl will lead the group, but there aren't that many new magical girls. Sometimes, a more powerful budding magical girl will lead the group.

"Tell them to be on guard, and also tell Yumo to be ready to go and provide support at any time."

"receive."

Generally, the Disaster Management Agency will issue an early warning one day in advance, so there is plenty of time to prepare.

The appearance of numerous calamity beasts is most likely related to the Witch's Guild.

It is highly unlikely that naturally occurring calamity beasts will appear in large numbers simultaneously.

So Bing Tang was a little worried that something unexpected might happen, and thought it would be safer to have Yu Mo prepare support.

"It seems the Witches' Guild has finally lost its temper." Bing Tang pondered for a moment. "Where's Yin Luo? Has Susan been watching her?"

“Susan went back first. She doesn’t know if Yinluo went back later, but Susan is already guarding the vicinity of the safe room. The Miracle Seed is still in the safe room. If she wants to take action, she will definitely go to the safe room first. She won’t miss it, and it will be easier to find evidence of Yinluo’s membership in the Witch’s Guild.”

"Okay. This time we must make sure she brings the Miracle Seed out. Make sure Susan is careful not to lose her."

After making the arrangements, Bing Tang sent Jiang Si the current plans and the latest intelligence, as usual.

Then, Bing Tang suddenly thought of the captain of the magical girl combat team.

Yinlian and Coco have been getting along quite well lately.

I sighed with regret for her, wondering what would happen to her afterward, and hoping that Coco wouldn't be involved.

After glancing at Jiang Si's reply, he turned to look at Si Ye:

"Have Qinghua and the others get ready. The Witches' Gathering might be active tomorrow. The Sect Master has ordered that none of them be allowed to escape."

"Yes."

Chapter 41: A Young Girl's Thoughts

Li Yi didn't fall asleep until very late last night.

I almost missed my train when I woke up this morning.

While sitting on the bus, with nothing to do, I took out the letters I had stayed up late writing and looked at them again.

I read it word by word. Yesterday, the sentences seemed quite normal, but today, reading them again, they felt strange, even a little embarrassing.
