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

“I already said no,” Susan said, her tone almost reproachful. “Can you please stop making wild guesses?”

"Fine, fine, you think I'm annoying, huh? Anyway, I have someone I like. My sisters and friends are just passersby, I don't care anymore. I'll just kick them aside. I understand, I understand."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm really going to get angry."

Peony chuckled, knowing that Susan wasn't that heartless; she was just used to teasing her friend like that. "It reminds me of when we were teammates. We used to chat in bed at night, and I was worried that if we kept being magical girls and clearing out monsters, what would we do if we couldn't find lovers and get married?"

“After we turn fifty, we might as well live together and take care of each other.” Susan continued her sentence, then snorted, “It was just a casual remark, I’m surprised you remembered it.”

"You still remember, don't you?"

Peony gazed at Jiang Si and sighed softly, "Sigh, it feels like my best friend is about to be stolen away. That wretched Jiang Si, not only did she get Zi Yuan, but she even dared to seduce my best friend..."

Susan gave Peony a hard knock on the forehead to shut her up.

Susan hadn't originally thought of it that way, but Peony kept talking about it and talking about it.

That's why she inevitably started to misunderstand...

Jiang Si is Zi Yuan.

The person who brought about a miracle and saved her back then was Jiang Si.

As the face imprinted in my heart that night was gradually replaced by Jiang Si's face, a subtle feeling inevitably arose in my heart.

However, she quickly extinguished these wonderful feelings.

Regardless, Jiang Si is Jiang Si, and Zi Yuan is Zi Yuan.

The person I admire is Ziyuan, not Jiang Si!

Then, he inevitably remembered that Jiang Si had taken half of his salary from here.

The thought that it was actually Lady Shion who had taken half of her salary made Susan feel a little uncomfortable.

As the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, how could he be short of money? Why is he taking advantage of himself?

My salary was originally paid by the Qingyun Sect, that is, by Lady Ziyuan. If you want to just deduct my salary, why bother with all this trouble?

You can't exactly say you also have special thoughts about yourself...

"In short, my main purposes for coming here this time are twofold: one is to retrieve our Miracle Seed, and the other is to capture Violet and bring her back to headquarters."

Iris's frankness brought Susan back to her senses, and those words made Coco, Li Yi, and Jiang Si sit up straight.

Coco glanced at Li Yi first.

There is a miracle seed right here.

The Disaster Management Bureau initially refused to give Li Yi the seed, but the director made an exception and gave Li Yi the seed, thinking that if it could help Yin Luo transform in the future, it wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules, since the miracle seed was meant to be used.

If resources are used to their fullest potential, the General Administration will not pursue the matter.

But now that Yinluo has passed away and the former director has been dismissed, Liyi keeps the Miracle Seed and doesn't want to return it yet. As a keepsake originally intended for her sister, she wants to keep it with her for a while longer.

Iris probably just thought the witch had taken the seeds...

Then he glanced at Jiang Si again.

Although he was Shion's lover, Jiang Si showed no expression when he heard that Iris was going to kidnap Shion.

Coco didn't know whether she felt sorry for Shion-sensei or relieved.

Iris observed the changes in the girls' expressions and understood. "Don't worry, I know that Ziyuan and her Qingyun Sect have a good reputation in Beihai in recent years. As a free magical girl organization, they have not done anything bad. On the contrary, they have been helping to clean up the disaster beasts. The citizens of BH City support them. I will not rashly start a conflict and cause everyone's dissatisfaction."

"I will first try to negotiate with Miss Ziyuan and get her to come to headquarters with me. If she is unwilling, I will take her away by force. Of course, I will be careful not to hurt her, so don't worry."

The group exchanged glances, remaining silent. Finally, Coco couldn't help but speak earnestly:

"Shion-sensei is the strongest."

“I am the strongest too.” Iris said nonchalantly. “Besides, free magical girls like this, without the training and education of the headquarters, cannot fully master the power of the Bloom level. So, although we are both Bloom, our strength is not on the same level. It’s a bit unfair for a professional to fight an amateur.”

Coco was at a loss for words to refute this, though she certainly believed that Shion-sensei was the strongest.

But Iris does seem to be quite strong...

In addition, the opponent was so confident that Coco was also a little unsure of herself, wondering if Shion-sensei could win.

Sensing their suspicion, Iris smiled slightly, deciding it was better to directly demonstrate her strength.

A blue seed shimmered on her body, and a magic wand appeared independently in her hand.

"This is called Demon Armor Extraction. It allows you to summon a portion of your demon armor while not transformed, making it an ability to be used when you need to conceal your identity."

Peony and Susan exchanged a glance.

They figured out quite a bit of this themselves during combat, and it's not exactly a high-level technique...

"There is also this kind of precise magic control technique, which can continuously change magic into whatever shape you want."

Li Yi glanced at it, and the ball of magic at Iris's fingertip changed wildly, from a seed to sprouting, blooming, and withering, each change was extremely exquisite.

However, Li Yi also noticed that the changes in shape and outline were not so obvious, and it was clear that the more delicate edges were somewhat rough.

It's far inferior to dandelions...

But then, Iris pointed to Cocoa and said, "May I borrow your seeds?"

When Coco took it out, she realized that the magic in the seed had been diverted without her permission.

Iris manipulated Coco's red magic with one hand and her own blue magic with the other, a confident smile on her face. "Manipulating two types of magic at the same time is a required course in the headquarters, but it is extremely difficult. Even among magical girls of the Blooming level, not many can manipulate two types of magic freely."

This time, the four of them finally showed expressions of amazement.

Simultaneously manipulating two kinds of magic was indeed beyond their comprehension.

“However, generally speaking, different magical powers will clash violently, which can not only easily harm oneself, but also have serious consequences, even making it impossible to transform. Therefore, the General Administration strictly prohibits magical girls from fusing two kinds of magical powers together. This method is an emergency measure when one's own magical power is about to run out.” Iris smiled confidently again, “Of course, it can also be used to steal the magical power of the opposing magical girl during battle. I won first place in the competition at the General Administration by using this method.”

"That's amazing," Coco exclaimed.

Peony and Li Yi both nodded, but Susan glanced at Jiang Si.

Iris took in these reactions and found them very helpful.

Then she tapped her seed, and an even more immense blue magic instantly filled the entire house!

The immense pressure caused Peony and Coco to transform simultaneously, but Iris didn't look at them; her gaze was fixed on Jiang Si.

Since Susan and Li Yi couldn't transform, she put all the pressure on Peony, Coco, and Jiang Si!

Even the two magical girls after their transformations were struggling to stay afloat; Coco even collapsed onto the table, and Peony had sweat on her forehead.

But Jiang Si remained seated, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Iris's eyes flickered as she stared at Jiang Si for a long time before dispelling the surrounding magical suppression.

Both Peony and Coco breathed a sigh of relief, even discovering that their magic power was almost depleted.

Even Li Yi and Susan, who weren't the ones receiving special attention, looked relieved; the sheer amount of magic they exuded brought considerable pressure.

Jiang Si, however, remained staring at her phone, her expression unchanged, not even her breathing altered.

"This is a magic suppression technique that can only be used at the Blooming stage."

Iris rested her chin on her hands, looking at Jiang Si with amusement: "Your strength is really impressive, Jiang Si. You didn't even flinch in the face of such magical suppression. Since your sister is a magical girl and you're so powerful, why don't you join the Disaster Management Bureau? They really need your kind of strength."

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Chapter 52: There are no humans left.

The honor guard and orchestra were, of course, hired by Iris herself at her own expense.

Iris knew that the Disaster Management Bureau of BH City didn't have much funding. On the first day of the new director's term—or rather, before he even took office—he went to the city government to discuss the funding issue.

But it doesn't matter, Iris has money, so she doesn't need the Disaster Management Bureau's funding, and she can afford to hire a guard of honor and a band.

Even if it's wasted, she doesn't care about that little bit of money.

Beautiful, powerful, wealthy, and perfect magical girl—that's Iris!

In the 6th General Bureau Magical Girl Test, she won first place, with a total score only two points behind the record holder, Lapis Lazuli.

She has killed an A-rank disaster beast and successfully completed several dangerous missions. She is one of the four teammates of the Emerald Bird.

Every achievement she makes is something that other magical girls can only look up to.

She was perfect from beginning to end, and could easily get whatever she wanted.

Growing up in poverty, she wanted money, and her parents' careers immediately took off; she wanted fame, and was spotted by a talent scout at a young age, becoming a famous child star; she wanted good grades, and became the best student in her school within a year.

So when she later witnessed the rampage of the monsters, she wanted to use her power to protect others, and naturally became a magical girl.

There is nothing she cannot do; if she wants, everything in this world will go according to her wishes.

If magical girls are beings who possess miracles and can make their wishes come true, then she is the strongest magical girl.

Because all the miracles she wanted had already come true.

So when Iris invited Jiang Si, she never expected to be rejected.

Even if he had no interest in saving the world, it would be impossible for a normal boy to refuse an invitation from a super beautiful girl like herself...

"Sorry, not interested."

Iris didn't react for a moment, so she continued, "In short, you don't need to worry about being undervalued after joining the Disaster Management Bureau. In fact, the Bureau desperately needs strong ordinary people like you..."

"I have to go to school, I don't have time."

The rest of her words were cut off. Iris blinked, then scratched the back of her head, giving a slightly embarrassed smile. "Did I just... mishear? Hehe, how could I possibly refuse?"

Seeing that Jiang Si's patience was about to run out, Susan spoke up for her boss at the right time, "Jiang Si said he's not interested, Miss Iris, you heard me right. Please understand, not everyone wants a job at the Disaster Management Bureau."

"Huh? Eh?" Iris's face showed a hint of confusion. "I was the one who invited him. I'm the one who invited you, the strongest and most perfect magical girl, Iris. If you accept, you'll have a chance to get close to me and work by my side..."

Even without looking at Susan, one could tell that Jiang Si was probably looking at her like she was an idiot.

What is this guy talking about...?

Susan rested her chin on her hand, somewhat speechless. "Jiang Si already has a girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Iris didn't react much, but the two girls opposite, Coco and Li Yi, reacted quite strongly.

Iris, of course, didn't care about Susan's statement.

She's just my girlfriend. These days, what kind of relationship is boyfriend and girlfriend? It's not like we're actually married.
