Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"I understand!"

He nodded. Regardless of what the other party wanted to do, it was obvious that Yu did not intend to kill him while he was still useful. He also did not want to die, so he nodded slightly and said:

"I won't resist!"

"Very good, you know the times!"

He said this with admiration, and then he saw Yu, who seemed to be quite satisfied and nodded at him, walking towards him at a leisurely pace. And then, the next second, when he was within three meters of him... he suddenly disappeared!

"Bang~~~"

63. Surrender

(I'll try to shorten the timeline here as it doesn't quite match the other timeline...)

"Woo..."

In a space formed by light, the originally neat clothes were now tattered and draped on the body. The handsome face with intelligence was now covered with purple or red bulges. At the same time, the body lying on the ground could not lift up the slightest bit of strength no matter what, so it could only fall to the ground dejectedly, and subconscious groaning sounds came out from its mouth from time to time.

On the other side, the girl in the white dress seemed to have just done something extremely refreshing. She stood there with a relaxed look on her face, looking at her fair and delicate little fist, and said happily with an exclamatory tone:

"Phew~~ I feel refreshed. Not to mention... beating someone up myself... feels pretty good!"

He has always relied on his abilities. Even when he first came to this world and was still weak, he almost relied on summoning monsters and transforming into magical girls to fight at a distance. So although Yu cannot be said to be weak, he is actually not as good as Yu Huan in close combat... Of course, this is excluding the Kamen Rider belts that the two of them possess, which have a negative effect in themselves.

As a result, Yu has never actually experienced what it feels like to beat someone up. After all, as a girl... hitting someone is obviously not very ladylike, especially in front of her sister, her image obviously needs to be maintained!

However, today is an exception. I don't need to maintain that ladylike demeanor. I can just do whatever I want... As long as I can't kill him, I don't need to worry about beating the person in front of me to death.

As for why... of course it's not because my sister can't see the reason, but because the person who made me do this was none other than my petty-minded sister herself!

Well, why do you say that my sister is narrow-minded? Well... I'll talk about this later. Let's first talk about why Yu eliminated everyone and left him alone!

"Yuanyuan said this guy seems to be from the Sand Bandits... It seems the second leader got into the ruins first by deceiving everyone. And I just saw that this guy has excellent memory and analysis of the maze. He's a good talent... I plan to let him come here, so for now... let's keep him alive!"

This was what Yu Huan said before Yu made her move. Since this was the person Yu Huan wanted to recruit, then Yu had no reason to refuse. That was why she only spared the other person's life. But why did she beat him up afterwards... Well, it was all because of Yu Huan, and it was also the root cause of her saying that her sister was narrow-minded:

"How dare you laugh at my traps? Ying said they were well laid. You're just talking nonsense without knowing anything. Yu, teach him a lesson. Beat him to death if you can't kill him!"

Even if the person he wanted to recruit had obviously displeased this little devil, then Xia Chang would definitely be in a miserable state. And if he did not obey the other party's "willful" conditions, there was no guarantee that his sister would vent her anger on him in the end. Therefore, adhering to the idea of ​​"I would rather die than let my friend die", Yu was naturally decisive and resolute... and took action!

Anyway, I'm just following orders, so... I don't have any psychological burden at all~~~

"So back to the topic!"

Walking up to the man lying on the ground, unable to stand up, Yu opened his mouth as if to ask something, but suddenly seemed to remember that he didn't know the man's name (he forgot it again, so he started over). He thought about it and changed the subject:

"Okay, before we get to the point, please allow me to ask, what's your name?"

It was obviously a bit rude to ask the other person's name just now, but compared with the even more rude thing he had just done, it was obviously not a big deal. After all, it was because he was so powerful, so the person in front of him should also know that even if he was angry, he must not express it, right?

This is called a man who knows the current affairs is a hero, and it does not mean taking advantage of one's power to bully others... Absolutely not!

“…Mingcan!”

Sure enough, even in pain, he still subconsciously wanted to reach out and push up his glasses, but then gave up because he really didn't have the strength. The man named Mingcan answered Yu's question in a forced calm tone.

Suddenly, he was beaten up inexplicably. To be honest, it was impossible for him to have no doubts and anger in his heart. However, although the one who attacked was the person in front of him, both of them knew very well that it was not the fault of the person in front of him, but someone behind her... Could it be an enemy who had committed a crime in the past?

But that wasn't right. Wasn't this a ruin? How could he possibly have offended a being buried deep underground for ages? Could it be that they simply disliked him?

Or perhaps... this ruins had already been conquered, and within it was someone from a faction with whom he had a grudge? But if that were the case, it wouldn't be as simple as just beating him up, right? Wouldn't killing him be even more satisfying?

Don’t say that the other party is soft-hearted and won’t kill people. The disappeared leaders are the best example... But if that’s the case, why did they leave me behind after killing everyone else?

A thousand doubtful thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end they were rejected by his own analysis. With a puzzled expression, Mingcan fell silent after seeing the two words. Yu immediately spoke again:

"Ming-chan...right? Time is running out, so I'll be frank. Would you...like to come over to our side? Join us as our 'partner'?"

There was no beating around the bush. Although Yu Huan had this idea because he was impressed by the other party's abilities, it did not mean that he had to recruit him. After all, both Tianyu City and Jing Organization were obviously not short of talents. Even if they were short of them... with so many people around, wouldn't they still worry about not being able to find talents?

To be honest, such a domineering yet somewhat indifferent recruitment was the most insincere recruitment Mingcan had ever heard of. However, since he was in a situation where no one was stronger than him, he obviously had no possibility of resistance. Not to mention his strength, his current posture alone left him no room for resistance, right?

64. Tianyu City’s First Principle

(The word count... seems a bit too much...)

Do you want to join?

It was obvious that no one could give an immediate answer to such a question when asked suddenly. So after thinking for a while, Mingcan, who did not give an immediate answer, suddenly asked:

"So... this is considered military first, then courtesy, right?"

He first showed off his strength to intimidate me, then beat me up like this as a threat, and finally proposed recruiting me. This terrorist-style recruiting method...

"This is something only a terrorist organization could do!"

"No, no, no, beating you up and recruiting you are two different things. Please believe me...they absolutely cannot be confused!"

In response to Mingcan's speculation, Yu shook his head without even thinking, rejecting the other party's words.

"We are an organization that represents justice, a good organization that fights for love and peace. We are definitely not terrorists or anything like that. Please believe me on this!"

Having said this, to be honest, looking at the large and small wounds on Mingcan's body, Yu himself actually felt a little embarrassed... He didn't even believe what he said!

However, the amazing thing was that Mingcan actually believed it. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and asked:

"Then if possible, please tell me first... why you beat me like that just now!"

He wanted to die knowingly. If it was a threat, he would accept it and just consider it as walking into a wolf's den. However, since the other party said that these were two different things, he obviously had to find out...how did he offend the other party? He had never even seen who the other party was!

"Well~~ This is my sister's order!"

"reason……"

"Well...how should I put it...it can be said that you have offended her!"

"which aspect?"

"Misfortune comes from the mouth!"

"…What are the specifics?"

"Didn't you just say that the traps in the Light Maze were superfluous?"

“…I did say that, so…”

"My sister added that!"

“…Okay, I understand!”

After a few words, he understood the reason. However, this undoubtedly made Mingcan not only feel pain in his body, but even his nerves seemed to be twitching at this time. After a long time, he still couldn't bear it anymore and uttered the complaints that came from his heart:

"Is your sister a child? How can she hold a grudge like this?"

I just said it casually, but the other party obviously wanted to recruit me, but before that he took a grudge and beat me up... Such childish behavior is nothing but that of a child.

"You know what, my sister is really a child..."

Thinking this in his heart, Yu naturally would not say it out loud. Instead, he smiled and decisively ignored the matter. Then he squatted down and looked at Mingcan in front of him, and asked again:

"So... do you want to join? Or not?"

It was clearly a smile that made people feel like they were in the spring breeze, but at this moment, these words were like an ultimatum, filled with the illusion that if you answer incorrectly, your head and body will be separated in the next second... Are you really sure that you are a just organization for love and peace?

Such a thought of complaining suddenly came to his mind, but it was obvious that as a sand bandit, and a rare smart one among the sand bandits, Mingcan obviously understood what the most correct answer was at this time, so he made a decisive choice without thinking:

"join in!"

Your life is in the hands of the other party. If you don’t join, you will die, but if you join, you can live. In this situation, everyone knows what to choose, right?

As for the so-called betrayal and loyalty... Sorry, he became a bandit just to make a living. Although he has some loyalty to the so-called leader, it is obviously not to the extent of seeking revenge for the death of someone who is not his opponent!

"Very good, then from now on you are a member of our Tianyu City, welcome to join!"

As if he was very satisfied with Mingcan's understanding, Yu immediately clapped his hands, stood up from the ground and said with a smile:

"Now that you've joined, it's easy. I still have some things to deal with here, so I'll take you out first. After you go out, go find the Shumagia stationed outside Tianyu City, and then wait there for us to get out!"

Having said this, Yu fully demonstrated his decisiveness and efficiency. Without any nonsense, he turned around and disappeared from Mingcan's sight, leaving Mingcan alone lying on the ground unable to move. However, a thoughtful glint appeared in his eyes under the lenses.

"Tianyu City...huh? Looks like I've come across a pretty good place this time!"

……

"So... it's done?"

Yu Huan's voice rang out from the light curtain. Yu nodded lightly but turned his head to the other side of the light curtain and suddenly said:

"Well, it's done. The other party has decided to join us. All that's left is the contract... Xiao Ling'er, is the bracelet ready?"

At the same time, Xiao Ling'er's (mirror system) voice rang out from the light curtain. However, when Yu Huan heard these words, she was stunned and immediately asked with some doubts:

"Wait, what the hell is a bracelet?"

If she remembered correctly, there seemed to be only one type of Guardian that used the bracelet to transform, so could it be that...

"Huh? The bracelet... of course it means the twintail bracelet!"

Facing Yu Huan's question, Yu's answer was as if it was a matter of course... That's strange!

"Why do you want to make a twintail bracelet?"

"It's for that Mingcan contract!"

It was a very righteous answer, as if it was planned from the beginning.

"Can't we use something else? Although I'm also very angry about what happened just now, turning someone into a girl is a bit... too much, isn't it?"

Yu Huan was very unhappy about being accused of being superfluous, but a lesson was obviously enough. He had no grudge against the other party and they would be companions in the future. Retaliation like this... wasn't a good idea?

"What are you talking about, sister?"

However, Yu looked at Yu Huan in confusion about what she said. What did this have to do with what happened just now?

"Forehead……"

Since it doesn't matter, why do you have to turn her into a girl?

Yu Huan expressed his doubts, but Yu's answer was as if it was a matter of course:

"The scavengers and guardians of Tianyu City can only be girls. Isn't this our first rule?"

Huh? Is that so? If that's the case... well, there's something fishy going on!

"When did this kind of ridiculous rule come about? What's the first rule? You're discriminating against boys!"

65. Abnormal

How come I never knew that being a ranger or guardian required girls? You shouldn't be so biased!

"But……"

In response to Yu Huan's words that were clearly not to be complained about, Yu frowned in distress and asked:

"Right now, 100% of the residents of Tianyu City (including Xumagia) are girls. Even the men among them are mostly from the outer cities. If a man is suddenly added to the patrollers or guardians... wouldn't it be a bit too strange?"

"..."

Is this just blaming me for asking this question too late? So, what kind of thinking led to the decision that Rangers and Guardians can only be girls?!

There was a speechless silence, and finally Yu seemed to be able to see through Yu's illusion and explained: This is a setting jointly formulated by me (mirror system) and the system. It has been noted in the core and cannot be changed!

So from that time on, any Ranger or Guardian costume could only be worn by girls, and as for boys... they just had to wear the mass-produced ones!

"Sister, do you hope that when we sisters get along closely in the future, there will be one or two boys among us?"

The sudden question made Yu Huan silent again. He subconsciously wanted to respond with something like "If he's just a companion, then of course there's no problem." However, just as the words were on the tip of his tongue, Yu Huan inexplicably found that he couldn't say it...

Why can't I say it? Is it because I have the same thought in my heart... No, no, no, that's not the case. It's just because Yu said that this is the default program set by the system and it can't be changed. Since it can't be changed, what I say is naturally useless, so...

"Okay, that's it!"

What else could it be? System settings couldn't be changed, and looking at the situation, it was clear that both Yu and Yuanyuan seemed incredibly persistent in this regard. With two votes against one, Yu Huan naturally had no choice but to lose.

Besides...it's all girls...it seems pretty good, right?

At least it looks pleasing to the eye!

In the end, the topic came to an end here. Of course, regarding the matter of letting Mingcan become the guardian and giving him the "bracelet", after Yu Huan's repeated insistence, Yu had no choice but to agree to the other party's request that "the characteristics of the bracelet must be explained clearly to Mingcan, and if the other party disagrees, the contract will absolutely not be allowed."
