The correct way to open the magical girl

"Stop joking. I'm from the Rurikawa family. How could I leave the homeland where I've lived for generations? Besides, your so-called personal maid isn't a serious job, right?" Yuriko pushed the contract back with disdain.

"How could that be? A so-called maid naturally does housework. The businessman offered a very high salary, and he can advance the money to repay your debts. You should take a look. After all, for the defeated Liulichuan family, this is a huge sum of money~" Li Xuan smiled, seemingly politely but actually sarcastically, and handed over the contract again.

"Don't fool me!"

The hint of contempt hidden in Li Xuan's smile angered Yuriko. She could accept contempt for herself, but she absolutely could not accept the insult to the entire Liulichuan family.

She angrily grabbed the contract and tore it into pieces, raising her voice and shouting: "Don't think that just because I'm down and out, everyone can step on me! In the past, people like you wouldn't deserve a glance from me even if they walked on the side of the road. The guard dogs of the Liulichuan family know more etiquette than you! Let me tell you: I don't need anyone's pity, I can solve the problem by myself. If you want to take advantage of me, I advise you to give up that idea!"

Even though confetti was flying everywhere, Li Xuan was not angry at all. He still said with a smile: "Your confidence, is it from the championship prize money of Liulichuan Music Festival?"

"So what?"

"I admit that you performed very well in the preliminaries, but popping champagne at halftime is not a good idea~" Li Xuan reminded.

"I have full confidence in my own abilities. I will prove myself on the final stage and let you understand: the defeated nobles are still nobles. I am just better than others!" Yuriko was aroused by Li Xuan's competitive spirit, and her words became more and more excited.

It can be seen that she has a strong self-esteem about her identity and strength, and believes that being better than ordinary people is her natural obligation.

Li Xuan was very uncomfortable with the arrogance and superiority in her bones, but at the same time, he also wanted to humiliate her completely, forcing this pure and proud lily to show an expression of humiliation.

"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't bother you any more. But I will still reserve this job for Miss Yuriko. If you need it one day, please feel free to contact me." Li Xuan said as he handed over a business card.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I would rather starve to death on the streets of Ruri River City than work for a day as a maid for a merchant from the Kingdom of Gold!" Although Yuriko still used honorifics, her tone was as cold as an iron railing in winter.

As for the business card that Li Xuan handed over, she still didn't even look at it and threw it directly into the trash can.

"I hope so." Li Xuan bowed slightly and left Yuriko's room with a smile.

Chapter 186 Loyal Maid

Before saying goodbye, Li Xuan naturally did not forget to give Miss Yuriko a precious hunting mark. Yuriko's every move after that was always under his watch.

"Damn it! This is so disrespectful! What's the point of talking about a personal maid? It's like you came here just to make fun of me!"

After Li Xuan left, Yuriko finally put aside her aristocratic temperament temporarily, and stomped her feet and cursed angrily.

Although the person from Yaba Group this time was much more polite than before, and he looked like a young handsome man, much more pleasing to the eye than the tattooed uncle before, but this politeness and gentleness was almost equivalent to arrogance to Yuriko.

The pity from the bottom up is the greatest humiliation for her.

Yuriko secretly swore: Even if she would bloom and wither like a flower, she would never be stained by mud and sell her dignity for the sake of survival.

She didn't stay immersed in her self-admiration for long, as the rumbling sound of her stomach soon reminded her that it was time to eat.

Yuriko had no choice but to pick up the instant noodles and the disposable plastic fork to fill her stomach.

However, at this moment, she actually found a few pieces of paper in the freshly soaked noodles!

Maybe the lid was not closed tightly, or maybe the angle was too tricky. But it was obvious that these scraps of paper were thrown out when I tore up the contract just now.

In other words, she deserved it.

Yuriko is a person with mysophobia. If it were any other day, even if it was a delicacy from land or sea, she would immediately ask the kitchen to make a new one if there was anything that looked unclean.

But now, faced with a bowl of instant noodles that fell into the paper scraps, she became hesitant.

After paying this month's rent, her wallet was almost empty, and a bowl of instant noodles was an important asset for her that could not be ignored. She couldn't even guarantee that she could have instant noodles every meal.

There were still a few days left before the finals. Between hunger and mysophobia, she put aside her aristocratic reserve and swiftly picked out the scraps of paper and threw them into the trash can as if she saw nothing. She tried her best to convince herself to ignore this tiny detail, and then began to eat in small bites with elegant movements in accordance with table manners.

Not long after finishing the instant noodles, there was another knock on the door. This time, a gentle female voice came from outside: "Miss, it's me."

"Please wait a moment! I'm changing clothes!" Hearing this gentle voice, Yuriko was shocked all over. She hurriedly threw the instant noodles into the trash can, covered it with other garbage, and then hurriedly picked up the scraps of paper scattered everywhere. Finally, she fixed her hairstyle in front of the phone, and then got up and opened the door.

The girl who came in was a gorgeous girl who looked like a doll. She was wearing wooden clogs that looked like small boats, a kimono-style Lolita dress, and her hair was a beautiful dark pink. She looked very sweet, but her face showed a resolute and courageous temperament.

The girl has a lot of accessories on her body, except for a folding fan around her waist, most of the others are in the shape of cherry blossoms.

But the most eye-catching thing is the mask worn on her head at an angle: it is a red-faced and fanged ghost face, which seems very different from the girl's sweet and gorgeous image.

From the girl's demeanor and dress, Li Xuan could almost conclude that she was a magical girl, and a magical girl in a transformed state.

"Great! There's an unexpected gain!" Li Xuan rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw this scene. This was a beauty whose appearance and temperament were no less than Yuriko's, and it seemed that the two knew each other.

It would be great if I could get buy one get one free.

"Miss, you..." As if she smelled the scent of instant noodles in the air, the girl showed a distressed expression on her face.

"Come in and talk." Yuriko said and closed the door.

"Yes." The girl took off her shoes, but did not sit on the chair. Instead, she sat on the floor in a very standard posture.

Her every move is as elegant and polite as Yuriko's, but the difference is that this elegance is full of humility and respect.

"Lonai, didn't I tell you not to come to me again?" Yuriko said with a frown.

"I'm very sorry, but I came here this time because of the monsters. And I came here after transforming, so I won't attract anyone's attention." The girl called Lonai explained with her head down.

"Monster? Are there any powerful monsters appearing?" Yuriko asked curiously.

"It's not very powerful, only at the B-level. But the strange thing is, when I sensed the monster's presence and rushed over, I found that the monster had already been defeated."

"Was they defeated before you arrived? Maybe it was done by other magical girls." Yuriko sat on a chair, looking down at Ronai.

"No, I asked Miyu and Yuri, and they didn't take any action that day. The other magical girls in the city of Ruri River definitely don't have the ability to kill a B-level monster in a short time." Lonai shook his head.

"That's weird. I haven't fought monsters recently. Besides, I'm a seal-type monster. It's impossible for me to kill a B-rank monster quickly."

"I think so. After the monster was destroyed, I tried to investigate nearby, but I didn't sense any breath of monsters or magical girls. This means that the other party is either a monster with the ability to conceal its breath, or a magical girl who is unwilling to reveal her identity." Lonai analyzed.

Hearing this, Li Xuan suddenly realized: he originally suspected that the magical girl he sensed on the beach was Yuriko, but now it seems that it was the girl in front of him named Lonai.

Unfortunately, the distance is too far now, and it is no longer possible to obtain her detailed information directly through the hunting radar.

"Both situations are tricky." Yuriko couldn't help but frown. If it was the former, it meant that a powerful and intelligent monster had come to Liurikawa City; if it was the latter, it very likely meant that the church intended to interfere in the magical girl affairs of Liurikawa City, and even deprive the local organization of its independence.

"So I would like to ask Miss to help me set up a sensing barrier and conduct reconnaissance near the coastline. I know you are very busy recently, but this time it is really a bit..."

"Lona! You don't have to say anything more. As a magical girl, this is my duty. Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to set up the barrier!" Yuriko said without hesitation.

"Great! Now I can finally follow you, young lady, and fight alongside you!"

Hearing Yuriko's immediate agreement, Lonai couldn't help but show a very happy expression.

After hearing what Lonai said, Yuriko sighed instead: "Lonai, I have said this many times. I am no longer a young lady, and you are no longer my maid. So, please don't say anything about following me anymore. I am not worthy of you following me now."

"How could that be!" Lonai stood up in panic, covering her chest with both hands, tears almost bursting out of her eyes: "No matter what happens to the Rurichuan family, Lonai will always be your maid! I have lived with you and went to school with you since I was a child. Lonai can no longer go back to the days without the eldest lady!"

"Lona..." Yuriko was also moved. She stood up and walked towards Lona and hugged her tightly. The two of them hugged each other tightly, as if they had returned to those carefree days with enough food and clothing.

Chapter 187 The deep love between master and servant

"When the Liulichuan family fell, I don't know how many subordinates who had received the family's kindness and shouted their eternal loyalty changed their faces, like a group of hyenas, scrambling to tear some rotten meat off the family's corpse. The Liulichuan family never gave you much benefit, but you..."

"Miss, it is the greatest favor for you to allow me to be with you. Without you, I will lose the meaning of living, so even if Lonai begs you, please let me stay with you." Lonai said crying.

"Lonai, you know I'm in some trouble now, so it's really inconvenient for me to keep you around..." Yuriko said in embarrassment.

Seeing Lonai's lost expression, Yuriko quickly added: "But don't worry, I will get the bonus from the music festival soon and solve my life problems. Then I will debut as an idol, and you can be my assistant! This way you can take care of my life."

"Great!" Lonai excitedly let go of her hand: "In that case, Lonai will come again tomorrow morning. Miss, please take care of yourself!"

"I'm a commoner now, so there's no need for me to take care of myself. Don't call me Miss anymore. We can just be sisters." Yuriko said with a smile.

"That's impossible! A young lady is a young lady! Lonai is willing to serve you forever~" Lonai said, and reluctantly left Yuriko's room.

"What a deep sisterly love." Li Xuan couldn't help but feel touched, so he lowered his head and asked Lilika, "Is there a magical girl named Lonai in Liulichuan City?"

"Lonai? How do you know this name?" Lilika asked in surprise after spitting out the food in her mouth.

“Is she special?”

"Of course. Remember I reminded you before that there is an A-level magical girl in Liulichuan City who you need to be careful of? She is Ronai." Lilika said.

"So it's still an A-level?" Li Xuan immediately took it seriously. Although he had defeated the Witch Band, which was composed of all A-level members, the A-level was still a threat that he could not ignore. If he didn't handle it properly, he might even lose.

"That's right, her magical girl name is 'Wanzakura Ronai', and she is the leader of the magical girl organization in Liulichuan City. It is precisely because she has sufficient strength and leadership that the magical girls in Liulichuan City can have their current independent status." Lilika explained.

"How does her strength compare to the Witch Band?"

"I don't have detailed information, but according to the church's information, she has the ability to awaken."

"It will awaken. So, to be on the safe side, we should at least treat it as an enemy of the same level as Black Cat, or even more difficult to deal with."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment. Considering that Black Cat's mind was not yet able to utilize his awakening ability well, this magical girl named Lonai might become the most difficult single opponent he had ever encountered.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan no longer had time to enjoy Lilika's service, but instead released his sexual desire into her mouth as quickly as possible, and then returned to the Evil Land of Evil to create monsters on a large scale in preparation for the possible battle.

The next morning, Li Xuan, who had drained all his magic power, hurried back to the real world and used the one-way channel to send Lilika and her daughter back home after their vacation. Then he called to arrange for the witch band to go to the scene to participate in the preliminary competition.

Although they had only one night of temporary training and their preparations were inadequate, and they had not even adapted to the feel of the instruments, the strength displayed by the Witch Band still conquered the audience and judges and qualified for the finals.

Everyone thought that this was a dark horse that had emerged out of nowhere, the undisputed favorite to win the championship, and the only player who could compete with Yuriko in this competition.

After qualifying for the finals, Li Xuan specially arranged for Wu Yan to take the five people to a local seafood dinner. At this time, Bing Rui gradually became familiar with the other four people. The strength she showed in this competition was recognized by the Witch Band, and her position as the lead singer was temporarily secured.

At this time, Yuriko didn't know that a strong contender for the championship suddenly emerged in the preliminaries on the second day. She followed Lonai to set up a large-scale perception barrier along the coastline, but after a whole day, she sensed nothing except a few weak monsters below level C.

"It seems that the opponent has left this area, and there is no trace of using magic." Lonai said somewhat disappointedly.

"My ability is too weak. If I also had A-level, I would definitely be able to find some clues by using a large-scale barrier." Yuriko sighed.

"Don't blame the young lady! It's good that the young lady is willing to accompany Lonai out. Although no enemies were found, Lonai is already very happy that she can spend a whole day with the young lady at the beach~" Lonai smiled innocently.

"You kid," Yuriko poked Lonai's forehead with a smile, "The perception barrier can last for about seven days. If I find anything during this period, I will inform you at any time. But in the next few days, I have to prepare for the finals, and the battle is..."

"Leave the battle to Lonai! No matter what kind of opponent it is, Lonai will defeat it for the young lady!" Lonai said confidently.

"That's right, Lonai is so strong, there will be no problem. Whether it's fighting or maid work, Lonai can always complete it at the fastest speed." Yuriko said proudly.

"Miss, it's a rare opportunity for you to come out, why not have a meal? There are fresh seafood nearby, and the price is affordable. You can eat to your heart's content~" said Ronai, holding Yuriko's arm.

Yuriko was reluctant to let Ronai spend money, but she hadn't eaten decent food for a long time. So after symbolically refusing a few times, she accompanied Ronai to eat at an open-air stall on the beach.

As a young lady, Yuriko was not used to eating in the open air, and she didn't know how to handle seafood wrapped in hard shells.

Fortunately, Lonai had a pair of dexterous hands. She could deftly take out the soft meat from various hard shells with just disposable chopsticks and toothpicks, and feed it into Yuriko's mouth with sauce. From time to time, she would use napkins to wipe the residue from the corners of her mouth.

This meticulous service made Yuriko feel as if she had returned to the days of luxury. She missed the exquisite food, beautiful clothes and spacious house that she used to be tired of.

If it were in the past, she would probably still be in her tidy and warm boudoir at this time, leisurely drinking afternoon tea served by her maid, and would never be eating these cheap seafood in such an open-air stall.

"Just wait, Lonai! I will definitely win the championship of the music festival, and then rely on my own hands to take back the glory that belongs to the Rurikawa family step by step!" Yuriko said with clenched fists.

"Miss, you can definitely do it! Lorna will also cheer for you!" Lorna didn't know why Yuriko was suddenly so excited, but as a loyal dog, she immediately put down the shell in her hand to express her support for her master.

Chapter 188 Open the champagne at halftime

In the following days, Li Xuan repeated the cycle of replenishing magic and creating monsters while paying attention to the training progress of the witch band.

In order to ensure that they could win the competition, Li Xuan met all the requests of the Witch Band and spent a lot of money just on buying various effects and accessories that he didn't understand what they were used for.

After the Witch Band proposed to create a new song, Li Xuan generously sent Tang Xi over to help write the lyrics, and even customized a performance costume for each of them.

After trying on the performance clothes personally delivered by Li Xuan, everyone in the Witch Band agreed that although the character of their new master was questionable, his fashion sense was unquestionable.

This outfit gave the entire band a completely new image, and the style alone was much better than Yuriko's monotonous long skirt.

The day of the final soon arrived. Yuriko was still wearing the white dress she had worn in the preliminaries, and she went on stage to sing while holding her ancestral Heike biwa.

This time she sang a bel canto song with a strong operatic style, but this time she also incorporated the traditional folk music style of the New Sun Country, which sounded refreshing.

During the performance, Yuriko still showed off her soul-stirring voice and her superb skills in imitating various musical instruments with a pipa, making the audience feel as if they were listening to the performance of an entire symphony orchestra.

After the performance, the audience applauded loudly. Although there was no live scoring, Yuriko was sure that she had won the championship based on the judges' comments and the audience's reactions.

After all, there was only one last contestant behind her, and before her, no team had ever received such high praise.

Yuriko's face flushed with excitement when she returned to the backstage. If conditions permitted, she even wanted to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Unfortunately, she had to live on instant noodles and had no money to buy champagne.

She could only hold a cup of free drink provided by the organizer, thinking of her winning speech in her mind, while leisurely watching the other contestants who were waiting for the results of the competition backstage.

Yuriko looked at their anxious expressions and felt a sense of superiority:

"Just fight for the second place! I've already secured the first prize!"

In her opinion, her biggest enemy is poor performance. Since she has withstood the pressure and performed perfectly this time, the championship will be easy to win.

Just then, a call came from an unfamiliar number.

"Good afternoon, Miss Liulichuan, do you remember me?" Li Xuan's voice came from the phone.

"There's no need for me to remember you." Yuriko certainly remembered the man who made her so angry that she stomped her feet, so her tone on the phone was extremely cold.
