Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

Rei suddenly mentioned the name of that high-ranking official, which made Ando Meiko speculate: "Could it be that she and Katharine have some unspeakable relationship?"

"It's not something indescribable. I don't know much. If you want to know, go ask her. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to bed tonight."

"Well, good night, have a good rest."

Volume 4: Something Hidden Beneath the Earth: Chapter 56: The Extremes of Negative Emotions

Standing at the door of Katerina's room, after thinking it over again and again, Meiko Anten finally made up her mind and knocked on the door gently.

"Katerina, are you asleep? If not, could you chat with me for a while?" When she finished speaking, there seemed to be a little movement in the room, but it soon became quiet.

After standing at the door and waiting for a few minutes, she didn't hear any response. Just when Anten Meizi thought that Katharina had gone to bed and was about to leave, the latter's voice came from inside.

"come in."

After hearing these simple words, she quickly turned around, adjusted her facial expression, opened the door and walked in.

After entering, she found that Katerina was not lying on the bed as she expected, but was curled up against the wall, looking out the window with her head tilted.

At this moment, her eyes were shining softly, her crystal silver hair was swaying quietly in the breeze, and her bright skin reflecting the moonlight was so clear that one could not look away at once.

This scene has a picturesque and quiet beauty that makes people reluctant to break it.

As if she felt that Anten Meiko had not spoken for a long time, Katzelina withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the girl who was standing blankly at the door.

"What's wrong? Didn't you come here to chat? You can't talk standing at the door." She reached out and patted the bed twice, "Come sit here."

"Um, sorry." An Teng Meizi touched her hair awkwardly, "You were so beautiful just now, I accidentally stared at you."

"Is she beautiful? You might as well leave these words to that guy." Katerina turned her head away, her pretty face covered with a faint blush, which made her look even more charming under the moonlight.

Meiko Anten did not see this scene, because before looking at her again, Katharina had already adjusted her slightly agitated mood.

Having known her for such a long time, An Teng Meizi did not consider herself an outsider. She climbed onto the bed and leaned against her shoulder.

"Is there something you want to ask me?"

Since she had already been noticed, there was no need to hide it. If she didn't say it directly, it would be a bit contrived. So, in response to her question, An Teng Meizi nodded directly and said, "Yes, there are some things that I am concerned about."

"Then I wonder if you want to ask about those two senior officials, or about Iris?"

"Neither. What I want to ask is about you."

An Teng Meizi leaned closer to her, allowing herself to feel Katerina's somewhat cold body temperature. "You seem a little strange tonight. Is it that person named Beth?"

Kazelina was stunned by what Meiko Andeng said. She originally thought that the former wanted to know about Iris's fall, but she didn't expect that this guy actually came to care about her.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I just remembered something from the past."

"Did she and you have a good relationship before?"

Katerina nodded slightly, then cast her gaze out the window. "Well, she once saved me and brought me into the Staff of God. Although this organization is an evil witch organization to you, the people in it are very kind to me."

"Sorry..." Before she could finish her apology, Meiko Anten's mouth was pressed by two slender and soft fingers.

"You don't need to apologize. This is my choice. I'm just interested in you, so I left there. It's a pity that after so long, I only have that one chance to study you."

"Don't say such terrible things!" Meiko Anten protested softly, then showed a relieved expression.

She reached out and gently touched Katerina's head, smiling and saying, "I'm glad you're okay. Actually, if you don't do anything strange to me, I don't mind being studied by you. After all, I also want to know what the Body of Destiny is."

Hearing this, Katerina's expression, which had always been calm, changed slightly. "Do you already know that you are the Body of Destiny?"

"Yeah, I heard it from others, but judging from your expression, it seems like you already knew it a long time ago."

Katerina thought for a while, hesitating between betraying Li and not betraying Li, and finally chose the former: "Well, Li told me, we have been hiding it from you."

An Teng Meizi stretched lazily and yawned lightly: "You must have a reason for doing this. I believe you won't harm me, so I won't ask anything about it."

"Thank you for your great help." She looked down and saw An Teng Meizi's hand on her leg. For some reason, her heart suddenly became agitated. She felt much better only after she reached out and grabbed it.

Feeling her hand being grabbed by Katzelina, Anten Meiko's body trembled slightly, but she had no intention of resisting. Instead, she held the cold hand tightly with her backhand.

"However, after what you just said, I'm a little curious about what Iris's so-called evil is. I feel a similar feeling from her as when I was corroded by the demonic ether."

"Your feelings are similar, but the so-called corruption is not about the magical girl being corrupted by the magic aether, but about being assimilated by the magic aether."

"Assimilation?" Hearing this, An Teng Meizi was suddenly confused. "The feeling she exudes is indeed demonic ether, but what is the difference between erosion and assimilation?"

Meiko Anten had been eroded by the devil ether before, but in her understanding, that thing only wanted her life and had no intention of making friends with her.

"When a magical girl's negative emotions reach extreme levels, the negative energy generated by these emotions will change the magical girl's original ether, causing it to transform into demonic ether with similar properties."

"Negative emotions? Like anger?"

"Anger is just one of many negative emotions. Pride, jealousy, fear, anxiety, inferiority, guilt, and so on, as long as they reach their peak, they will have the potential to change qualitatively."

After saying this, Katerina turned and stared at Meiko Anten's face.

Being stared at intently, An Teng Meizi felt a little embarrassed: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like this all of a sudden? Is there something strange on my face?"

Katerina shook her head and then explained to her, "Although Iris is a pervert, the fact that she likes Sylphias is known to everyone in the entire Staff of God."

"So I was thinking that maybe she found out about what you and Li did, and that's why she became evil because of her anger towards you."

Volume 4: Something Hidden Beneath the Earth: Chapter 57: Yes, But Not Much

Meiko Ando looked away and coughed awkwardly, trying to change the subject.

"Then, what will happen if this evil state continues?"

"There was a magical girl whose identity was discovered by an evil organization. The organization threatened her with her family and forced her to do some bad things. In the end, the magical girl discovered that her family had actually been killed in the resistance."

"Upon learning this, she was ultimately corrupted by hatred. Assimilated by the demonic ether, she gained immense power. After decimating the entire evil organization, she ultimately transformed into a murderous beast, ultimately being defeated by the other magical girls."

Although this story does not have many important details, Katharine has already told Ando Meiko everything she wants to know.

The corruption of a magical girl is an extreme manifestation of negative emotions. A magical girl who falls into this state will gain power far beyond her current level, but her mind will be affected by this power.

As time goes by, if this state continues for too long and is not relieved or recovered, the magical girl's sanity will be completely overwhelmed and she will become a being like the Void Beast.

Katerina's next words made Ando Meiko gasp.

"There was one Transcendent, five Advanced, and over ten ordinary magical girls who provided support. However, only the Transcendent returned alive. All the others perished without exception."

If the super-class magical girl could use her full strength, she would be able to easily defeat the dragon-level void beast. However, just to defeat an evil magical girl, everyone except the super-class one has to be sacrificed?

Could it be that this magical girl was a super-level being before she completely fell into evil?

As if she understood Ando Meiko's thoughts, Katzelina added, "Before her fall, that magical girl, like Iris, had merely reached the threshold of advancement."

What does it mean to only have the threshold to advance? Does that mean that after her fall from grace, she becomes an advanced magical girl? Does that mean that after her fall from grace, even the super-class magical girl will be unable to deal with her?

"Is that really possible?"

Katzelina nodded and continued, "After a magical girl has completely fallen from grace, she will further fuse with the demonic aether, becoming a humanoid Void Beast. Have you ever considered what a terrifying existence it would be if a dragon-level Void Beast could wield magic like us?"

Her words reminded Ando Meiko of Vita's original body, the Sky Flame Dragon, which was rated as one of the seven strongest dragons because it was eroded by the magic ether.

Although there were no super-class magical girls participating in the battle at that time, this was already a joint expedition involving all the surrounding forces. Even so, most of the people were injured, even though Vita had already released a galaxy.

There was also the Void Gorilla that had just evolved into a dragon-level. Even though it couldn't use any magic, it was still able to rely on a defensive pseudo-field to fight her with all her strength, resulting in both of them suffering losses.

If the Void Gorilla could use magic, Ando Meiko would probably have to burn her life to defeat it.

"Is there any way for the fallen man to recover?" she inquired.

"Yes, before she completely falls into evil, we just need to awaken her mind and there's a chance she'll be able to return to normal," Katerina replied. "So, if you want Iris to recover, you could have Li contact her."

"I didn't intend to ask that."

Although Katharine couldn't control her facial expressions, her intelligence was unquestionable, so Ando Meiko's thoughts could not be hidden from her at all.

However, during the chat with her, Ando Meiko also roughly understood some things about the evil people.

It is not difficult to understand. To sum it up: she is depressed and needs someone to enlighten her, but this person cannot be an ordinary person. Even if the person who tied the bell cannot untie it, he must at least be someone important to her.

When Ando Meiko handed Iris over to the principal, it could be felt from the latter's expression that she must have known something about the evil people, but even so, why did she take the risk of sending Iris to the Tokyo branch for detention?

She actually already knew the reason why Iris fell into evil.

This was more than the first or second time she had been followed by this witch cadre. Perhaps it was when she accompanied Li to pay tribute to her sister that Iris, who was following them, saw what happened.

This kind of pervert who likes to stalk others and you can't even detect it is very troublesome.

As for whether or not to let Li counsel Iris, she was actually a little reluctant. After all, if she just did the math in her head, it would mean letting her girlfriend meet the pervert who was following him.

What's more, she has no good feelings towards this person who threatened her three or four times and kept causing trouble for her and the people around her.

Having said that, she is also a life, and I do want to save her, but not much.

Of course, it might be more troublesome if Iris were to become completely evil. If that happens, she would probably be the first target of attack.

Even if she didn't want to save Iris, she had to consider saving herself for the future.

However, Ando Meiko has thought it through. She will not force Rei to do anything because of her own affairs, but will discuss this matter with Rei.

If Li doesn't want to contact Iris, then even if she completely degenerates into a human-shaped void beast in the future, the worst that can happen is that she will become stronger than she is now, and then she will just have to try her best to stop her.

Katerina looked at Ando Meiko, who was lost in thought, and asked curiously, "Don't you have anything else to ask? For example, about your Body of Destiny?"

Hearing this, she came back to her senses and shook her head gently at Katerina: "When I really want to know, you will definitely tell me, right?"

"Well, you are quite open-minded."

"In fact, there are many things that I don't even want to know if they are not necessary."

"Why?" A hint of doubt and curiosity flashed in Katerina's eyes.

Shouldn't people be curious about the unknown? And to satisfy their curiosity, shouldn't they seek answers?

For someone like her who is passionate about research and has an inquisitive spirit towards anything she is interested in, Ando Meiko's words are simply the epitome of incredible.

Volume 4: Something Hidden Beneath the Earth: Chapter 58: The Name of the Group

"Because the more you know, the more responsibility you have."

Katerina nodded thoughtfully. "As if I know the most, so you can ask me all your questions?"

"Um... about the same..." She glanced at Katerina, who was expressionless, with a guilty look on her face. "I don't usually bother you by asking you questions, do I?"

"Even if I'm disturbed, I wouldn't mind if it were you."

"Please, if you find me annoying in the future, you must tell me."

She nodded and said nothing more.

"You've worked hard today, too. Anyway, take a break, even if it's just for today."

"Yeah." Katzelina had no intention of being polite to Anten Meiko. She turned sideways and rested her head on her thigh. This action stunned the latter.

"Um, Miss Katerina? The pillow is over there."

The only answer she got was the sound of gentle breathing. It seemed that Katerina had fallen asleep.

"Really." She leaned against the wall behind her, gently stroking Katerina's soft silver hair, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the noisy text message ringtone interrupted Anten Meiko's exquisite sleep. She rubbed her still sleepy eyes and perked up a little.

Katerina, who had used her lap as a pillow to sleep last night, was gone. It seemed that she had gotten up a long time ago. It was unknown whether she had left here.

Her original posture also changed to lying on the bed. It must be that Katerina laid her down before leaving.

"Are you sending me a message at this time to tell me that Iris has been taken back to the Tokyo branch base?" She muttered to herself, then glanced at the person who sent her the message.

This person was neither Principal Jing nor Commander Youyi, but someone she labeled as Chun Lan.

"Sister Lan? You don't want us to go for rehearsal, do you?" After opening the message, she found that the content was exactly what she thought.

However, in addition to rehearsals, there seems to be one more very important thing, which is to come up with a name for the group "医零亿妮?〧4〩吴啾俬九紦" for their debut.

Yesterday afternoon, Sister Lan told them that four out of the original five members of the idol group left at once, which was actually no different from disbanding.

Because this group was formed based on special effects anime, their original focus was on the two-dimensional world, and their audience was mostly anime otaku, so their business was not too extensive.

So her thinking was that since there were four new members, it would be better to re-establish an idol group with Ai Ge as the head, and expand the audience from the two-dimensional world to the general public.

Moreover, because the previous group was quite famous, and Ai Ge, as the center, had accumulated a large fan base, so even if this idol group had just debuted, I believe their popularity would not be too low.

Of course the idea is good, but whether it will actually work depends on whether Ando Meiko and others can hold the bottom line, completely take over the fan base, and then slowly increase their fame.

At least among the four newcomers, except for Fuzi who still needs to work harder, the other three have no problem with dancing. With just a little practice, they can quickly master the dances to two or three songs.
