Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Crack~~"

I was wrong. It wasn't that I wasn't in deep trouble. I had already fallen into the pit... the pit called H novel!

"I mean... you're not allowed to read this type of book anymore... Understand?!"

Such an innocent girl, actually reading such a perverted book. Fortunately, I found out early... No, what do you mean early? The other party had already drugged me, and it was obvious that he had been deeply affected, so...

"Girl, you need treatment!"

Facing Shi Lei's confused look, Yu Huan put on a serious expression and said this immediately.

7. Children should not stay up late

After confiscating all of Shi Lei's bad books except alchemy, and seriously telling her not to touch these things again, Shi Lei nodded without any resistance and agreed without hesitation.

Yu Huan was the family member that she had finally managed to keep, and she almost obeyed Yu Huan's every word. In addition, she was a simple person to begin with. Since Yu Huan said that it was not a good thing and should not be looked at, Shi Lei naturally would not look at it.

"You don't need the potion anymore. I won't leave you!"

Debilitating potions...it's all caused by those banned books!

"Oh? No?"

Yu Huan turned his head and looked at Shi Lei with a serious expression, nodded vigorously and promised:

"Well, no!"

Even if I leave, I will definitely take you with me... This is what he thought in his heart, but Yu Huan did not say it out loud. Of course, that was only after obtaining the other party's consent.

After getting Yu Huan's affirmative answer, Shi Lei stopped fiddling with the potion in her hand and casually placed it on the table beside her. Then she walked over and hugged Yu Huan in her arms.

"Well, go to bed!"

“…Actually, I just want to go out for a walk!”

"No~~Children can't stay up late!"

"The problem is, I'm not a child. I'm probably older than you!"

"……Yeah?"

"...Don't look at my chest, I'm talking about age!"

"..."

"What the hell is silence? Say something!"

Half coaxing and half forcing, Yu Huan was carried into the room by Shi Lei. She said that children should not stay up late, but as soon as they got on the bed, Shi Lei hugged Yu Huan and fell asleep. Yu Huan seriously suspected that she just wanted to use him as a pillow.

There was no conversation that night. Perhaps because Yu Huan's words worked, Shi Lei obviously did not put any strange potions in her food the next day. This time, it could be seen from Yu Huan's refreshed expression.

There are not many complicated things in the small village. Even after receiving the enrollment brochure from the Jiuhuang City Magic Academy, Shi Lei's daily routine is very simple: go up the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs, vegetables, mushrooms, etc. in the morning, cook dinner at noon, and then hug Yu Huan to sleep. After waking up, she will carry a hoe and take care of the easiest-to-grow alchemical herbs called hemostatic flowers at the door.

Of course, this time she was obviously not expecting any flower elves to be born from it. After all, her little wish had been fulfilled. Therefore, this time of planting was actually to sell the hemostatic flowers and save money for her trip to Jiuhuang City.

The scope of the Demon Realm is not small. In addition, Huangcao Village itself is located in an extremely marginal area. It is naturally impossible to go to Jiuhuang City easily. It takes at least seven or eight days to reach it. There are also many mountains and rivers in it. There are also many monsters running rampant and many guys who have become bandits.

If Shi Lei wanted to go to Jiuhuang City, the only way was to collect enough money and go to Stone Town, which was the nearest town to the village. Then she could look for a team going to Jiuhuang City in the mercenary guild there, or look for a caravan in a trading company, etc. Then she could pay a certain amount of money by hitchhiking and set off with them.

Originally, according to Shi Lei's savings, which she didn't spend much, she had actually already saved enough money for what she needed. However, now that Yu Huan had appeared, the expenses needed would naturally be much higher.

"So...there's no teleportation array in the Demon Realm?"

Yu Huan had once asked this question out of curiosity. After all, in the magical world, aren't the most traditional tricks teleportation arrays, flying brooms, and so on? However, it's not like these things don't exist in the Demon Realm, but...

"The city will be equipped with a teleportation array later, and the cost of using it is more than ten times what we would spend to go to Jiuhuang City!"

Shi Lei said that she was just a little girl from the countryside and could not afford such high-end things. Yu Huan could only shrug his shoulders and said nothing.

She could have transformed directly and taken Shi Lei to Jiuhuang City, but given the current situation, on the one hand, Yu Huan didn't like to be so ostentatious, and on the other hand, if she showed too much strength, it would obviously have some impact on their current respectful relationship. At least before the relationship went further, Yu Huan didn't want to show too much strength in front of the other party, so as to avoid a generation gap in strength.

"Let me help you!"

After all, the other party was so busy just to earn money for his trip. Yu Huan naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. Looking at Shi Lei farming, Yu Huan felt that his long-lost ADHD spirit was ignited again. As he said this, Yu Huan casually picked up another hoe and started digging the ground like Shi Lei.

Then about three minutes later, Shi Lei drove Yu Huan to sit under a tree to rest, saying, "Xiao Huan doesn't need to do these rough work, I can do it." Yu Huan originally wanted to persist to show that he had no problem with his strength. However, when he saw the bumpy ground next to the neatly plowed ground that he had made, Yu Huan finally blushed and shut up silently.

People who don’t know how to farm...just be a salted fish!

Well, that's what he said, but it was obviously impossible for Yu Huan to just lie there like a salted fish and watch Shi Lei farming alone. So after saying hello to Shi Lei, Yu Huan left the small yard and walked outside.

Just as she had expected at the beginning, the place where Shi Lei lived was actually a certain distance away from the people in the village. Looking from the direction where Yu Huan had just left the house, she could clearly see the outer wall of the small village about a hundred meters away, and on the right was a winding path leading directly to the mountain.

Shi Lei obviously would not restrict Yuhuan too much when it came to going out, but she was definitely worried, so Yuhuan did not plan to go too far, but just strolled around nearby. After looking at both sides, Yuhuan finally turned around and walked directly towards the mountain road.

If possible, Yu Huan doesn't like the feeling of having too much communication with strangers. After all, her life in the hospital bed in her previous life made her indifferent to life and death, and there was a little indifference in her character that she didn't even notice. Since she came to the other world these days, although she also met many people such as Xiao Ya, the actual interpersonal relationships were not as broad as she imagined. In addition, after transforming into Oma Zi-O and taking control of a world, Yu Huan always felt that something seemed to have happened to some part of her, but because it was a little hazy, she didn't care too much.

8. Go back

"Shasha~~"

　Her footsteps made a gentle sound as they stepped on the green grass. Although it was called a mountain, it was actually quite far away from here. There was just a small hill in the middle. Yu Huan's purpose was naturally not the mountain in the distance that was said to have monsters and was a ruin. Therefore, she just walked into the woods that looked like a small hill, looked around casually, and then wandered around aimlessly.

　“Swish~~”

　The air in the forest was fresh and elegant. From time to time, birds could be seen flying over Yuhuan's head, as if they were curiously lowering their heads to look at this strange guest in the forest. Snow-white little rabbits popped their heads out of the ground, but the moment they saw Yuhuan's tall body, they shrank back and did not dare to show their heads for a long time.

　In the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Yu Huan couldn't help but take two deep breaths as if to cleanse his soul, and his whole body felt extremely relaxed.

　"Thinking about it...it feels like I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time!"

　Although she had such peaceful days before as Amy, after all, life in the small fishing village was very ordinary and beautiful, but not to mention that Yu Huan had no memory at that time, it was naturally impossible for a blind person to be very relaxed. It would be strange if he could relax when he was in darkness all day!

　But at this moment, it was completely different. She was standing in this small woods that seemed like a small world. With every breath, it seemed as if a faint magical light flowed out of Yu Huan's body. Soon, a faint pink light emanated from her body, emitting a flickering and dazzling luster as if echoing with the surroundings.

　Yu Huan's magic power is pink... and it is the kind of pink without attributes. He cannot use any magic from this world or the elemental magic in novels, etc. The only abilities he can use are those recorded in the magical devices that have signed contracts in the Guardian's Book. Although he is undoubtedly extremely powerful in terms of output and various aspects, he is obviously inferior in terms of the diversity of elemental magic.

　Of course, Yuhuan does have a way to make up for it, it’s just a bit troublesome.

　Silently feeling this rare quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Yu Huan finally opened his eyes slowly after a long time. Suddenly, a man flashed in front of a big tree that two people could hug together, and suddenly punched out!

　"Boom~~"

　“Chichi~~Chichichi~~”

　A burst of rapid cries accompanied by the violent shaking of the tree came from above. Yu Huan immediately looked up and found a small creature that looked like a monkey, holding a sharp stone in one hand, but with a human face like dry bark. It stretched out one hand to grab the tree trunk, and stared at Yu Huan with a ferocious face, with a murderous look in its eyes.

　"Is this the monster? It's quite clever. It's hiding in the tree and planning to attack me, right?"

　Yu Huan had clearly discovered the other party the moment he appeared, but he was a little curious about what was so special about the monsters in the Demon Realm, so he did not act rashly. Now, when he suddenly attacked, he also felt that the other party wanted to attack, so he took the initiative.

　"Jiji~~"

　Although discovered, the monkey obviously did not show any sign of retreat or fear. Instead, it shouted twice in a hurry, and the next moment its whole body turned into an arrow and rushed towards her, with the sharp stone in its hand aimed directly at Yu Huan's face.

　"Boom~~"

　The stone hit the skin hard, but not the skin on the forehead, but on a white and tender palm. With a light pinch of the palm, the stone was easily shattered. Seeing this scene, before the monkey could recover from this sudden change, he snorted coldly the next second, and a fist wrapped in pink light rushed directly at his head.

　"Bang~~~"

　……

　"I was a little... a little impulsive!"

　Looking at the monkey lying on the ground whose head had been blown off by his fist, Yu Huan didn't show any discomfort. Instead, he stared blankly at his fist and thought about his reaction just now... He seemed to understand what had changed about himself after transforming into Oma Zi-O, but this change...

　"Not bad!"

　As he said this, there was a flash of light in the corner of his eye, as if something sparkling attracted Yu Huan's attention.

　"Magic crystal?"

　One of the standard features of magic world novels, the crystal core left behind after the death of Warcraft, is in the bloody corpse of the monkey that was headshot in front of Yu Huan. The tiny crystal core seems to be free of dust and emits a faint light.

　"Om~~"

　With the help of magic, he made it fly lightly. After confirming that there was no blood stain on it, Yu Huan immediately took it in his hand. After observing it for a while, he subconsciously opened the system.

　'Exchange scattered magic crystals for 3 spirit coins. Do you want to exchange?'

　The long-lost voice of the system sounded in his ears. After Yu imagined it for a moment, he slowly shook his head and casually opened another system interface:

　"System, give me some magical modifications... um, give me a mass-produced magic wand!"

　He has the Heart of the Rising Sun and the Ruby, and he doesn't need any weapons in the Brave State, so this magic wand certainly can't be for his own use. It's prepared for Shi Lei.

　"Magical girls are also magicians, so it's not surprising for them to have a magic wand or two!"

　Yu Huan muttered to himself, it wasn't that he didn't want to get Shi Lei a better one, but it was obviously not necessary for the time being. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway. If the other party really signed a contract with him, then he would also have his own unique power, so Yu Huan was obviously not worried.

　"Let's go back!"

　It had been a while since he came out. Judging from Shi Lei's personality, she would probably come to find him soon. In order to avoid this, Yu Huan immediately turned around and walked in the direction he came from. Soon he disappeared into the small woods.

"Pap~~"

However, just over ten minutes after Yu left, a new guest appeared in the originally silent forest. The figure, who was covered by a gray magic robe and could not be identified as a man or a woman, stood casually in front of the dead monkey. After looking at the corpse on the ground for a long time with his head lowered, a hoarse and old voice slowly rang out from within:

"Is this... the breath of magic?"

9. Let’s Go

Because Yu Huan accidentally "picked up" a scattered magic crystal in the forest, Shi Lei undoubtedly made a small profit after reselling it. Not only did she directly raise enough money for the trip to Jiuhuang City, but she also had a lot of surplus, which allowed the two of them to have a slightly higher food cost.

Yu Huan was naturally not picky about these things. For her, as long as it was not a ward, basically anywhere was a good place.

Days passed like this, and two months seemed neither long nor short. I don't know if there was something wrong with Yu's side, but he didn't contact me many times during this period. And I don't know why, but every communication between him and Yu seemed to put a huge load on the system, and after that, the system would basically enter a state of repair.

As time went by, for the sake of Yuyuan's "health", Yuhuan temporarily stopped contacting everyone. Anyway, there was no rush, and it would be very easy for him to go back after the Kamen Rider system was usable. Even the power of the magical girl was not a difficult task.

The reason why he is still hiding here is, on the one hand, because he is attracted by Shi Lei's personality and talent, and wants to fool her and invite her to become the guardian of Tianyu City. On the other hand, Yu Yuan also seems to have said that Tianling seems to be preparing to upgrade its own satellite, and then extend the signal coverage to the Demon Realm. At that time, it will be very simple to locate Yu Huan's position!

Two months later, after packing up their not-so-big luggage, Shi Lei, carrying a small backpack, pulled Yu Huan towards the village.

Although he had been here for two months, Yu Huan had never met anyone else in the village except Shi Lei. This was the first time they met.

Of course, there are obviously many people in the village who are curious about Yu Huan, the magician (girl) who is said to be picked up by Shi Lei. Putting aside other things, just seeing Yu Huan's pink battle skirt that is obviously somewhat out of tune with the surroundings is enough to see that she is not simple, not to mention that she is the only magician in the village. The moment he saw Yu Huan for the first time, the village chief walked out from the crowd tremblingly.

"Great magician, welcome to Huangcao Village. This is our village's greatest honor!"

He walked straight up to Yu Huan and respectfully performed a ritual that Yu Huan was unfamiliar with. His tone was extremely humble.

The surrounding villagers naturally couldn't see it because they were all ordinary people. However, the village chief, who was a magic apprentice and possessed magical powers, could clearly feel that the aura emanating from Yu Huan was countless times stronger than magic. Just one look at it made people want to worship him.

He instantly concluded that Yu Huan was a powerful magician, which was why his tone was so respectful.

"Uh...well, you're welcome. I should thank you for saving me!"

Although it was actually Shi Lei who saved her, Yu Huan had not met anyone in the past two months, but she knew that after learning that Shi Lei had saved a magician, although she was skeptical about it, the village had sent a lot of food over the past two months to express its sincerity, which had improved Shi Lei's life a lot.

And because these were all given to Yu Huan by the village, Shi Lei naturally would not refuse like before. In order to let Shi Lei eat better, she accepted them all.

Of course Yu Huan would not forget this, but seeing the village chief's behavior at this time made Yu Huan feel a little embarrassed.

"You're so kind! This is all thanks to Xiaolei!"

Isn't that a blessing? Not only was his magical powers discovered by chance and given the opportunity to study at the Jiuhuang City Magic Academy, but he even had a magician descend from the sky into his yard while he was sitting at home. Just observing the magic power, the village chief could easily tell that Yu Huan was no simple task. According to her, Shi Lei had a promising future!

She sighed like this in her heart and expressed it sincerely. Shi Lei was the child who grew up in the village eating food from hundreds of families, so the whole village naturally treated her as their own daughter. Now that she could have such an opportunity, the simple mountain village people would naturally be happy and would not have any jealousy or other emotions.

"Blessing? I think it's fate!"

He smiled slightly in his heart at the village chief's words. Yu Huan was not a real senior or something, so he naturally didn't like to chat about trivial things. He nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. Instead, he revealed Shi Lei behind him.

Shi Lei left the village for Shitou Town today, and then took a ride on a caravan to Jiuhuang City. Originally, the villagers came to see her off, but Yu Huan's appearance delayed them.

Standing aside as a background board, he casually looked around. On the other side, the village chief seemed to have noticed Yu Huan's indifferent expression, so he immediately talked to Shi Lei about all kinds of family matters. Other people in the village also greeted Shi Lei more or less. Shi Lei responded to them very enthusiastically, with red eyes and seemed to be about to cry.

Shi Lei has lived in this village since she was a child. It can be said that she grew up in front of everyone. It is certain that she is reluctant to leave suddenly. In fact, if possible, Shi Lei does not mind living in this village forever as an ordinary village girl. She even proposed this idea more than once before meeting Yu Huan.

However, not only would the people in the village certainly not agree to such a self-destructive idea, but even Shi Lei herself has never had such a thought of being content with mediocrity. If you ask why... it's because her Xiaohuan is a magical girl!

Although she didn't know what level of magician a magical girl was, in Shi Lei's heart, magicians were undoubtedly very powerful and shining beings. With such a shining and powerful Yu Huan by her side, if she couldn't become stronger, she didn't know if she would still be qualified to be by her side in the future?

With such thoughts circling in her mind, Shi Lei had the motivation to move forward: she wanted to enter the magic academy, learn magic, grow into a powerful magician, and then... stand proudly in front of Xiao Huan!

It's always good to have hope, so at this moment Shi Lei's face also revealed a kind of vitality and firm belief that even she herself could not detect!
