The correct way to open the magical girl

"Forget it, I won't bother with you too much. Why is this damn Qinghe City so hot? The latitude is almost the same, but it seems like a different season." Yunye said irritably.

"Lady Yunye, I brought a short-sleeved shirt. Do you want me to go to the bathroom to change into it?" Tan Xiang asked carefully.

"Who asked you? Don't think that just because the priest praised you a few words, you can be on equal footing with me. We have been working for so many years but are still stuck in the position of deacon. It's all because of you! This time you were sent here to investigate some humanoid monster... and a carpet search is also required. It's all thankless work!" Yunye scolded unceremoniously.

"I'm sorry, I will try harder. Please don't abandon me, Lady Yunye." Tan Xiang apologized quickly.

"Hmph, you're sensible. Go and open the room. I'm almost dying of heat." Yun Ye pulled her collar with her hand and used a small fan with a USB port to fan the room.

"Lord Yunye, this is inappropriate, isn't it? The church's reimbursement is only enough for us to stay in an affordable hotel... We will be blamed if we spend too much, so should we change to another one?" Tan Xiang said in embarrassment.

"Can't you just pay for it yourself? It's not like there are no jobs in this city. Aren't you good at seducing men? There are plenty of men willing to pay for anything you do, right?" Yunye said impatiently.

"I didn't... Sorry, I'll go right away." Tan Xiang wanted to explain something, but after looking at Yun Ye's eyes, he swallowed his words back. He had no choice but to take Yun Ye and his ID to the front desk to check in a room. He walked in front, dragging their heavy luggage, while Yun Ye followed behind with empty hands, and from time to time she would make sarcastic remarks about Tan Xiang's figure. Tan Xiang could only respond with a forced smile.

"Hiss, the relationship between these two people is not what I thought..." Li Xuan thought with mixed feelings.

Chapter 31 Arrangements

After arriving in the room, Yunye took off her hat immediately. Li Xuan found that her face under the veil was much more beautiful than he had imagined. Her bones were very regular, and her facial features were vaguely charming. She was also much younger than he had imagined. However, her face shape was a little out of shape, probably due to her acquired "efforts".

Yunye threw the hat she had taken off casually, then quickly took off her clothes and rushed into the bathroom naked. Li Xuan didn't even want to look at the next scene, and directly focused his eyes on the silent Tanxiang.

"Wow, it's so nice to take a shower and then turn on the air conditioner on a hot day!" After taking a shower, Yunye came to the air vent of the air conditioner wrapped in a bath towel, opened her arms and said happily.

"Lady Yunye, should we look for the whereabouts of the three magical girls in this city first? They must have fought with monsters. If they are still alive, they would be the people who have the most information right now." Tanxiang, who had just arranged Yunye's daily necessities, asked.

"What can that C-level trash know? Besides, long-distance travel is very tiring. I need to rest for a day and start working tomorrow." Yunye said, lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, ignoring the wet towel still dripping with water.

"Okay..." Seeing that Yunye had no intention of leaving, Tan Xiang had to open her suitcase, take out her daily necessities, and place them one by one in the corner of the table.

"Huh? Why are you still here?" Yunye was lying on the bed playing with her cell phone for a while, when she suddenly caught sight of Tanxiang picking up her luggage and asked in confusion.

"Eh? Shouldn't I be here?" Tan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the towel froze in place.

"Yes, isn't this room mine? Once you're done packing, get out. It's so hot, and I don't want to sleep in the same bed with you." Yun Ye said with her eyes wide open and an expression as if it was a matter of course.

"Sorry, I'll leave now." Tan Xiang was silent for a while, repacked his luggage with an aggrieved look, and left the room dragging the suitcase.

"Close the door--" Yunye's drawn-out voice came from the room.

Qinghe City is hot in the summer, and today's temperature is particularly high. There is not a single cloud in the empty sky. As soon as Tanxiang walked out of the hotel door, she felt as if she was soaked in hot water. She quickly found a cool place to escape the heat, sat on the suitcase, took out her mobile phone, and looked for short-term jobs that could make money.

Tan Xiang was still a high school student, so naturally she couldn't do any technical work. If she could only work for a short period of time, she could only do things like handing out flyers, delivering food, and serving dishes. But the salaries for these jobs were very meager, and they were not enough to support Yun Ye's expenses.

As she swiped her phone, tears began to well up in Tan Xiang's eyes. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She couldn't help but throw away her phone and squat on the ground crying. She had a sickly temperament to begin with, and this cry made her look even more tragic. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.

But Li Xuan didn't care. He just felt that there was an opportunity now, so he immediately called Xu Rou and said, "I'll send you the address of a cafe now. Go find the manager, get a maid outfit and a stack of flyers, and take a taxi to the Sylvie Hotel in Shinan."

"Master, do you want to play role-playing? Woo woo woo, I'm a pure and lovely little maid and I don't want to be eaten by a bad-hearted big bad wolf." Xu Rou said coquettishly on the other end of the phone.

"Hmm?! It sounds good... But before that you have other tasks to do. Listen... You are walking while handing out flyers and you see a tall and thin girl..." Li Xuan lowered his voice and told Xu Rou the plan.

After crying for a while, Tan Xiang picked up her phone helplessly, wiped the dust off it and continued looking for a part-time job.

At this moment, a sweet and lovely voice came from not far away, so sweet that even a girl like Tan Xiang couldn't help but look over: she saw a maid who was as sweet as her voice holding a stack of flyers, promoting her coffee shop to passers-by. Even passers-by in a hurry would stop to take a flyer and listen to her promotional slogans.

"How much money can she earn every day from this job? Seeing her smiling so happily, it must be quite a lot, right? Is it enough to cover Yunye's daily expenses?" Tan Xiang couldn't help but think.

Just as he was thinking about it, the lovely maid had already walked in front of him. She was busy thanking the passerby girl who took the flyer, and she didn't notice that her left foot tripped over her right foot, and she fell flat on her face to the ground.

Tan Xiang was shocked. Although her physique was not good, her sense of crisis from working as a magical girl for many years was much higher than that of an ordinary person. She immediately rushed forward to support the maid who was about to fall, and then she gracefully...

He was dragged to the ground by her and the flyers were scattered all over the floor. Although he reacted quickly, Tan Xiang's strength was limited and he could not lift up the maid who was heavier than himself.

"It hurts, it hurts... Ah, sorry, did I knock you down? Are you okay? Do you want to call an ambulance?" The maid quickly pulled Tan Xiang up and asked in a worried tone.

"It's okay, I'll help you pick up the flyers." Tan Xiang smiled and shook her head, turned around and helped the maid pick up the flyers on the ground.

"Oh, thanks to you, otherwise I would have fallen on the hard road. I really don't know how to thank you. How about I treat you to ice cream? I know a shop that serves delicious ice cream!" The maid took the flyer and bowed politely.

"Don't be so polite." Tan Xiang quickly reached out to stop the maid from continuing to bow.

"No, no, I must do something to repay you. Our manager said that if a drop of water is a favor, we should give more water to hug you." The maid shook her head.

Tan Xiang hesitated for a while. She noticed that the maid looked carefree, with light makeup on her face and a relatively conservative maid outfit. She didn't look like she was working in a store that prohibited minors. She finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Although it may be a bit offensive, I still want to ask, how much do you make per day from this job?"

"About this number~" the maid pointed with her finger.

"So many! What about the work content..." Tan Xiang asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, this is an absolutely legitimate store. It's just that the store has been very busy these days, so we have to offer high prices to hire people. And they have very high requirements for image and temperament. For example, I accidentally boasted about myself, hehe~" the maid said cutely.

Tan Xiang carefully looked at the maid's appearance for a while, and felt that she was not much worse, so she said a little embarrassedly, "Then...can you please introduce me to a job? To be honest, I really need money now."

"Oh, then you've been a great help! The boss is worried about the lack of staff in the store! Do you have any other luggage? If not, come with me!" The maid showed a surprised expression, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and took the initiative to help Tanxiang put the luggage in the trunk.

"Actually, I...Okay, let's go together!" Tan Xiang was still a little hesitant at first, but seeing the maid was so enthusiastic, she was embarrassed to refuse, so she got into the car.

"There are still many good people in the world... If I had met someone like Miss Maid earlier, would my life be different?" Tan Xiang, who was sitting in the back seat, was immersed in her own imagination and did not notice the cunning smile that appeared at the corner of the maid's mouth when she closed the car door.

【Arranged】

A text message signed "Xu Rou" was sent to Li Xuan's mobile phone.

Chapter 32: Maid Game! This isn't even a date, is it?

When Tan Xiang arrived at the store, it was already past business hours. Xu Rou took out her cell phone and made a call. Not long after, a well-mannered young man opened the door and welcomed them in.

"Hello, hello. I just heard Xiaorou talking about you. You are really beautiful. My name is Li Xuan, and I am the owner of this store. Please don't be too restrained. Just sit down." The man smiled gently, motioned for Tan Xiang to sit down, and then personally made her a cup of coffee.

It was the first time for Tan Xiang to drink hand-brewed coffee. She curiously watched Li Xuan grind the beans into powder little by little with a small hand-cranked machine. Seeing her curiosity, Li Xuan handed the machine to her and asked her to try it herself.

After the coffee was brewed, Tan Xiang tried taking a sip. The coffee without any seasoning had a slightly sour taste and a strong bitter taste, but after swallowing it, he could gradually smell the aroma of the coffee beans.

"Don't force it, try adding a little milk." Li Xuan smiled, picked up a pot of milk, slowly poured the protein-rich milky white liquid into Tan Xiang's cup, and made a beautiful heart-shaped latte art.

"How magical! It's just like a painting." Tan Xiang said in surprise, looking at the love heart in the cup.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Li Xuan said with a smile.

Li Xuan's gentle tone made Tan Xiang feel very comfortable. Tan Xiang liked this kind of atmosphere when getting along with him: it was neither harsh nor oppressive, and it did not make people feel overly enthusiastic.

With the added pressure of money, Tan Xiang quickly agreed to work in the store. Xu Rou seemed very happy, holding Tan Xiang's hand and chatting about some interesting topics until it was getting dark before sending her out of the store.

"Master... I'm so tired of talking in such a cute tone... I really can't hold it anymore..." After sending Tan Xiang away, Xu Rou quickly rubbed her cheeks which were a little sore from smiling for so long, and sat on Li Xuan's lap with a resentful look on her face.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your acting is great this time." Li Xuan said, stroking Xu Rou's little head.

"I thought I could go on a date with the master in a maid outfit, but I ended up helping the master pick up girls - who is that girl that the master cares about her so much?" Xu Rou asked jealously.

"You'll know when the time comes. You did a good job today, so I'll reward you with a date." Li Xuan said with a mysterious smile.

"Great! I can have a date alone with the master! Master, Xiaorou also wants latte art. Please pour your white, protein-rich liquid into Xiaorou's cup." Xu Rou said coquettishly.

"Ahem...Xiaorou, dating is something that needs to be done step by step..."

"I understand. You just have to go in slowly. Xiao Rou is not that greedy. She won't think of eating the master in one bite." Xu Rou showed a devilish smile and deliberately moved the leather drum sitting on Li Xuan's thigh a few times, causing Li Xuan's fuse to react.

"You little brat, don't push your luck!" Li Xuan felt annoyed when he saw that she didn't listen to him at all. He put his hands under her armpits, lifted her shoulders and picked her up.

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's okay if you take an inch, but if you take a step further, Xiaorou will die~" Xu Rou giggled as her ribs were irritated.

"Who taught you these words?" Li Xuan pushed her down on the table and asked in a fierce manner.

"I learned it myself on the Internet. This way it is more in line with the image of an evil girl." Xu Rou said with a smile.

"No, no, no, you've got it completely wrong. I still like your rebellious look. Calm yourself down." Li Xuan said as he gently lifted the hem of the maid outfit and pulled up the garters, snapping them against Xu Rou's thigh.

"Hate... Then Xiaorou try it: Help, I am a righteous magical girl, the evil tentacle monster, go away! Don't mess me up, ah ah ah!" Xiaorou pretended to be panicked and shouted.

"No, no, it's still not right. This is too exaggerated. Why don't you have the acting skills you had just now? Yes, that was your true character just now. Xu Rou, who has fallen into evil, has this kind of smiling but dagger hidden behind her." Li Xuan said to himself.

"Master, what are you mumbling about? If you don't come in soon, the coffee will get cold." Xu Rou turned around and asked expectantly.

"Let's give it a try - mental interference, activate!" Li Xuan said, putting his palm on Xu Rou's head, trying to restore her to her state as a magical girl through mental interference.

"Eh? Why is he doing this all of a sudden? Is the master having a second-year syndrome? Can't he control the Dark Flame Dragon sealed in his arm?" Xu Rou said to her master in confusion.

At this moment, Li Xuan's palm emitted a faint light that was invisible to the naked eye. Xu Rou's eyes froze, and the expression on her face gradually changed from confusion to shock.

"What's going on?! I actually... Damn it, let me go!" Xu Rou struggled hard like a live fish on a chopping board, and Li Xuan couldn't even hold her down for a while.

"Calm down, I am your master." Li Xuan said, using a small amount of evil energy to create two tentacles, pressing Xu Rou's body tightly on the table.

"Evil energy? Are you the devil? What have I done? I actually lost myself... and did that to Qi Mo!" Xu Rou looked at the tentacles tied to her body in shock. The familiar evil energy made her immediately realize the identity of the person behind it.

"It seems that even if consciousness changes, memory will not change. How do you feel now, magical girl Xu Rou?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.

"Devil, you can be proud as you want. I will not surrender... One day, I will cut you into pieces with my own hands!" Xu Rou stared at Li Xuan viciously, her teeth grinding in her mouth. If hatred could be turned into a sword, then Li Xuan would probably have been stabbed into a hedgehog by now.

"Yes, that's the taste!! This is what it feels like to be a magical girl." Li Xuan grabbed Xu Rou's long hair from behind with a grim smile, separated it into two strands and used them as a steering wheel and started driving.

"No! You can't do this... Someone come... Save me! Qimo, Yan, where are you?!" Xu Rou's voice gradually turned into an off-tune wail. Her body felt happy because of her demonic constitution, but her spirit was temporarily restored to the steadfastness of a magical girl. The separation of her body and mind made her consciousness confused, and she called Li Xuan "devil" and "master" at one moment.

When Li Xuan ended this in-depth conversation, Xu Rou had already gone limp all over. When Li Xuan turned her head, the look in her eyes that had been steadfast just now had completely turned into soft love.

"Master? I just felt... so strange ~ as if I had a dream while awake." Xu Rou said softly.

"Then continue dreaming." Li Xuan kissed her forehead lightly. He had gradually become proficient in the use of mental interference, and the next step was to enter the actual combat stage.

Chapter 33: Is there something else behind the weakness?

The next morning, Li Xuan called the three sisters from Qinghe City to his home, took out a board game for them to pass the time, and sat in front of the computer desk, connecting the hunting radar signal to the monitor to monitor Tan Xiang's movements.

As soon as the screen was opened, it showed Tan Xiang being scolded by Yun Ye. Li Xuan frowned: This Yun Ye was really too bullying and completely unreasonable. She seemed to just want to vent her negative emotions on Tan Xiang. Although Tan Xiang showed aggrieved expression many times, she did not mean to resist at all. Was it just because she needed Yun Ye's magic to detoxify?

"Too slow! You know that the instructions should be sent at 7 o'clock every morning, but you are still fifteen minutes late. Don't you know that the battle with monsters is every second counts and one minute can change the situation of the battle?" Yunye scolded with her hands on her hips.

"Sorry... I stayed far away because I was looking for a cheap hotel... and there was some traffic jam on the road..." Tan Xiang explained in a low voice.

"Ah? Don't you have a decent excuse? You are a magical girl, can't you just transform and fly over here?" Yun Ye showed an expression of disbelief.

"But the scriptures... the scriptures do not allow for changing size at will. We have to maintain the mystery of magical girls." Tan Xiang argued.

"Hmph, you are such a hypocrite. You observe such trivial matters meticulously, yet you don't take seriously the major sins that are clearly prohibited in the church scriptures. If I hadn't covered up what happened two years ago..." Yun Ye snorted coldly, looking at Tan Xiang with contempt.

"Stop... stop talking! Please stop talking, I'll do anything!" Tan Xiang covered his ears as if he had an emotional breakdown, and his knees softened as he knelt in front of Yunye.

Seeing the tall and beautiful woman suddenly kneeling down to a not-so-pretty woman, everyone in the hotel looked at them sideways and speculated about the relationship between the two. Some said it was the mistress asking the wife to let her go, and some said it was because the lesbian marriage gift negotiation broke down. Anyway, they speculated as outrageously as possible.

But Li Xuan, who watched the whole process, knew very clearly: Tan Xiang might have some handle in Yunye's hands. As long as he could take this opportunity to sow discord between them, his chances of winning would be greatly improved.

"Are you stupid? Why are you kneeling down when so many people are watching?" Yun Ye heard the gossip of others and yelled in annoyance, slapping Tan Xiang in the face.

"Feel sorry…"

"You can only apologize. Listen to how others see me? It's as if I did something wrong." Yunye couldn't help but get very annoyed when she heard passers-by talking about her. She threw the milk tea she had taken a few sips of into the trash can, took out a yellowed scripture from her backpack, recited a few sentences, and then her body flew into the air.

"You also transform, so that you can use cognitive blocking to eliminate the impact just now." Yunye ordered.

"Yes." Tan Xiang didn't dare to argue anymore and could only transform on the spot. The reaction of passers-by was panic for a while, but due to cognitive impairment, this memory would not remain for too long.

But Li Xuan discovered a bright spot in the scene just now:

"Wait, the girl named Yunye just now seemed to have flown away without transforming?" Li Xuan stared at Tan Xiang's perspective and found that she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, except that there was a long gray cloth hanging on her left shoulder, covering half of her body.

"Yan, can a magical girl use magic without transforming?" Li Xuan lowered his head and asked Wu Yan, who was hiding under the table and stammering.

"Wu Yan doesn't know, I only know how to fight. All the troublesome things are left to the external brain, Qi Mo." Wu Yan spat out what was in his mouth and said indifferently.

"Once a Prayer Girl signs a contract, she will be permanently in a transformed state, and it will not be released unless she loses her qualifications as a magical girl. In addition, it is said that awakened magical girls can use some of their abilities without transforming. I don't know whether this is true or not." Qi Mo was being trampled under the feet of Xu Rou, who was wearing white socks, but she was still able to answer Li Xuan's questions with a serious face.

"I see... The prayer department is really special. By the way, how many departments do you magical girls have? The three of you are the fantasy department, the combat department, and the sealing department. Now there is a prayer department. Will there be a civil engineering department in the future?" Li Xuan asked.

"How is that possible? How can civil engineering be studied by humans? There are only four departments for magical girls. When signing the contract, it is decided based on the inclination towards the three principles. The combat department and the fantasy department focus on 'justice'; our sealing department focuses on 'mystery', and the prayer department focuses on 'purity'." Qimo explained.

"No wonder the Sealing Department produces so many perverts... This is what the Riddler is like." Li Xuan complained and refocused his attention on Tan Xiang and Yun Ye.

At this time, Yunye had already vented her emotions on Tanxiang and finally started to talk about some serious topics: "The Oracle Machine sent two messages this morning: The first message proves that the three magical girls in Qinghe City are likely to have fallen into evil."

"Demonic fall?! Isn't demonic fall something that only A-level monsters can do? Is there an A-level monster we are going to deal with?" Tan Xiang said in surprise.

"How is that possible? If he really has A-level, he wouldn't be hiding like this. But he might really have the ability to make magical girls fall from grace. This is probably why the Oracle cares about him so much." Yunye shook her head.

"Since the enemy's combat power has increased, should we ask Lord Priest to send a few more reinforcements?" Tan Xiang said worriedly.

"Are you stupid? If we increase the number of manpower, won't our credit be divided? Besides, it's just three more C-level trash. It's just a matter of a moment for you." Yunye said nonchalantly.

"That was a close call..." Li Xuan thought that it was a good thing that Yun Ye did not agree to the plan to request reinforcements, otherwise if there were more people, he really would not be able to handle it.

"Also, the second piece of information shows that there is an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Qinghe City, where monsters have fought many battles with the local small-time magical girls, and that location has been reacting to evil energy so far, so it is likely to be the enemy's lair. Without further ado, we should charge over there and wipe them out completely!"

Yunye said, making a killing gesture on her neck, then took out her phone, and flew towards the warehouse while watching videos. The loud and meaningless background music in the video made Li Xuan involuntarily turn down the volume of the hunting radar - if it weren't for Yunye, he wouldn't even know that the hunting radar had this function.

"Sure enough, they have set their sights on that warehouse. It's a pity that time is tight and we can't make too much preparation." Looking at the two magical girls flying towards the abandoned warehouse, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile slyly.

Although he didn't know what Yunye was talking about, his repeated activities in that warehouse had obviously attracted the attention of the duo. This was originally a bait to distract the magical girls, and he tried his best to decorate the place to match the image of a "magic cave" in order to confuse the other party.
