The correct way to open the magical girl

Chapter 191 The Weight of Life

Lu Xun once said: I do not share the same sorrows and joys as human beings; I just think they are noisy.

While Li Xuan was celebrating his success, Yuriko fell into deep despair.

The last hope in the darkness was ruthlessly extinguished. To her, it was like a drowning person being pulled ashore. Just as she was about to say thank you, she found out that the person who rescued her was a cannibal from the primeval forest.

There were only a dozen days left until the end of the month, and there would be no more events of the scale of the Liulichuan Music Festival. Even if he played the pipa until sparks came out, he would not be able to make up for the remaining four million.

The music festival is a festival that attracts the attention of the entire nation in Liulichuan City. The Yaba Group must have known that they only got second place.

They will definitely send people to my house again and use both soft and hard tactics to force me to sign a contract or sell myself to the Kingdom of Gold to become the exclusive lover of some perverted businessman.

As the eldest daughter of the Liulichuan family, the whole world will laugh at her.

What should I do? What should I do? ! What should I do!!!

Running away and going to the sea were both things that Rurikawa Yuriko could never accept. Carrying the family's honor, she could not accept such an ending.

Yuriko tossed and turned on the hard bed, unable to fall asleep.

After thinking about it all night, she finally made up her mind and called Lonai - the last person she could rely on.

When Lonai hurried from school to the rental house, she was immediately frightened by Yuriko's appearance:

The young lady who used to be extremely careful about her image in every move and never gave up her pride even in the face of adversity, now looks so miserable.

Her long black hair was disheveled and she was still wearing the white dress she wore during the performance, but it was already wrinkled after a night of tossing and turning. One of her shoes was missing, and the other one was hanging loosely on her foot.

The face that was full of hope and pride the day before had turned pale today, and the lips were extremely dry and covered with fine teeth marks.

The most frightening thing was her eyes: they were a pair of empty eyes, without a trace of spirit. Only people who are deeply in despair would have such a dead look in their eyes.

Lonai had never thought that spiritual despair could make a person so haggard that he would become like this in just one night.

"Miss! Please cheer up! I brought food and water, you can eat something first." Lonai opened the schoolbag, took out the food inside and placed it in front of Yuriko.

The food was a lunch box prepared by Lonay, which she made herself. There was half a runny boiled egg on the rice, and the side dishes included pickles, steaks, tofu, and even cute octopus sausages. Not only was it a combination of meat and vegetables, but the bright colors made people very appetizing just by looking at them.

But Yuriko didn't even look at him, but grabbed Ronai's arm.

Lonai was surprised. She didn't expect that the haggard Yuriko could still have so much strength. Her nails were deeply embedded in her arm flesh.

"My lady...it hurts."

"Lonai..." Yuriko didn't release her fingers, but stared straight into Lonai's eyes and said, "You've heard about the music festival, right?"

Of course, Lonai knew that Yuriko had won the second place in the music festival. The reason she didn't mention it was because she was afraid of touching on Yuriko's sad story and further damaging her fragile spirit.

"Don't worry, young lady. No matter what happens, Lonai will always be by your side." Lonai endured the pain in his arm, gently held Yuriko's hand and said.

"No need. I asked you to come here today to tell you that from now on, don't have anything to do with me. I am a loser and no longer worthy of being your eldest lady." Yuriko said with a wry smile.

"How could it be! This incident was just an accident! If it weren't for that band that showed up out of nowhere, Miss would have won the championship!" Lonai hurriedly comforted.

"When you lose, everything you say sounds like an excuse. Ronai, go away! Don't call me Miss anymore, and I won't see you again." Yuriko sighed and let go of Ronai's hand.

"No! Miss, please, please cheer up! Without you, I..." When Lonai saw Yuriko's decadent look, tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She held Yuriko's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would slip away if she let go.

"Let me go." There was a hint of annoyance in Yuriko's words.

"Miss, please don't drive Lonai away. I am willing to do anything as long as I can do it!" Lonai said while kneeling in front of Yuriko's bed with tears in her eyes.

"How determined are you to say such things? You are just an ordinary student. Can you bear the consequences of someone else's life?" Yuriko said dejectedly.

"Even if I have to exchange my own life for the young lady's life, I will be willing to do so!" Lonai said without hesitation.

"Okay, then you transform into a magical girl and kill all the members of the Yaba Group. This way, no one will come to me to collect debts." Yuriko said calmly.

"Kill...kill?" Lonai was shocked. It seemed that she could not connect the two words "magical girl" and "killing" together at all.

"You don't want to? Then just kill the top leaders."

Lonai looked at the once elegant and kind young lady with a look of panic and surprise. She realized that Yuriko was not speaking in anger, but her tone was serious.

"My lady, I know you are very angry now, but killing people is too terrible, and you want me to do it as a magical girl... I can't do it no matter what."

"Then, after you transform, go to the bank and rob 10 or 20 million to help me pay off my debts. This way, you don't have to kill anyone, and no one will know about the cognitive impairment."

"This...why do we have to do bad things? The power of magical girls is given to us by the world in order to eliminate evil and protect the love and hope of mankind. How can it be used in such a place?" Lonai said in disbelief.

"Lona! You don't want to do this or that, yet you have the audacity to say that you are willing to use your life to help me. Does this act like a maid?!" Yuriko suddenly raised her tone and spoke sternly, using the tone of a noble scolding a servant.

"Lonai dare not!" Lonai knelt down hurriedly, lowered his head to the ground and dared not move.

Yuriko stared at Lonai in deep thought for a long time, then sighed slowly and pulled Lonai up from the ground: "I was a little impulsive just now and said some nonsense, don't take it to heart. Although you are my maid, I have always regarded you as my own sister. How could I force you to do that kind of thing?"

Lonai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "The young lady scared Lonai to death. I told you that the young lady is such a kind person, she is even willing to adopt a stray cat on the street, how could she really let Lonai go and kill people and rob people."

Yuriko smiled and said, "I have another idea: How about you talk to the church? I remember they have a foundation that is dedicated to solving the difficulties in the lives of magical girls. With your status, you should be able to help me apply for it."

Chapter 192 Yuriko's Revenge

Lonai hesitated for a moment. The church did have such a fund and had indeed helped many magical girls in distress.

But Lonai knew this very well: it was only for magical girls who officially joined the church. Cooperative magical girl organizations like the one in Liurikawa City were not eligible to apply for the fund.

The church is not a charity, and their money is not taken for free. If Yuriko is to apply for assistance, then she will have to make concessions to the church.

In the worst case scenario, it may even lose its independence and become a diocese under the rule of the church.

At that time, all the magical girls in Liulichuan City must strictly abide by the church's regulations and obey the orders of the local bishop. Even if they need to be transferred to fight in other places one day, they cannot have the slightest complaint.

Although the church's policies have always been mild, Lonai, who does not want to be bound by rules, is still unwilling to be shackled by rules.

What's more, there are dozens of magical girls in Liulichuan City who have similar ideas, and it is not just her fate that matters.

Lonai was about to raise an objection, but when she saw Yuriko's hopeful eyes and thought that she had already rejected her twice, she really didn't have the courage, nor could she bear to reject her for the third time.

"I'll go talk to the church! There are food and drinks in the schoolbag, and some cash in the interlayer, which is what Lonai saved from working part-time. You must take care of yourself, Lonai will bring you good news as soon as possible!" Lonai put the schoolbag next to Yuriko's bed and said to her sincerely.

"Go, my life depends on you." Yuriko said, and hugged Ronai tightly.

"Yes! Lonai will definitely help the young lady out of the predicament!" Lonai seemed to have gained infinite strength from this hug. She wiped away her tears, stood up, and reluctantly left the small rental house.

After Lonai left, Yuriko couldn't wait to open the compartment of her schoolbag and found a bundle of cash tied with a hairband.

She counted hurriedly and then looked disappointed.

"Only 100,000 yuan? It's not enough to buy a decent piece of clothing. Forget it, I don't have time to worry about this now. There are more important things to do." Yuriko frowned, but had to go out with the money.

As for the lunch box that Lonai had carefully prepared, she threw it into the trash can without mercy.

Yuriko went to the mall, used the money to buy a meal which she thought was pretty decent, changed her clothes from head to toe, and then asked someone to put on exquisite makeup for her that suited her status.

One hundred thousand yuan was just enough, and Yuriko couldn't help feeling proud of herself for her careful budgeting.

When she walked out of the mall, her expression and demeanor had returned to that of the proud and holy noble lady. Her eyes were resolute and cold, like a warrior determined for revenge.

Since morning, Li Xuan had been staring at Yuriko's movements intently, and naturally saw everything that happened during that time.

Although her PUA towards Lonai made Li Xuan feel nauseous and he even began to lose interest in her, there was one thing that made Li Xuan very curious: where was she going dressed like this?

To Li Xuan's surprise, Yuriko transformed as soon as she left the mall. After the transformation, she was wearing a white kimono, with a small pillow behind her waist and her long black hair draped behind her head.

That noble temperament is like a flower blooming on the top of a mountain, giving people a feeling of being unattainable.

After the transformation, Yuriko flew to the former residence of the Rurikawa family. Although it was sealed, it was not a problem for Yuriko who was good at sealing.

She used a space-capable barrier to pass through the door easily and went deep into the mansion. She skillfully pressed the mechanism on the bookshelf and opened a small secret compartment.

"Oh my god! They are indeed a wealthy family, they even have a secret compartment! What kind of treasure could be hidden in it?" This kind of plot that only appears in movies made Li Xuan's eyes light up.

Miss Yuriko reached into the secret compartment and took out an ancient katana and an equally ancient wakizashi.

"Could this be some magic sword passed down from ancient times?" Li Xuan curiously adjusted his camera and stared at it closely.

Yuriko took out the two swords and examined them: although they had gone through years, the blades were not rusted, which showed the excellent quality of the materials of the two swords.

However, other than that, there is nothing special.

Just when Li Xuan thought Yuriko was going to sell the two knives for money, she sheathed the knives, then quickly flew to the venue of the music festival, grabbed a staff member who was still packing up, and forced him to tell her the whereabouts of the Witch Band.

When the staff saw her easily break a big tree with magic, they were frightened and hurriedly told her the registered address of the Witch Band.

After getting the address, Yuriko immediately let go of the staff and rushed to the hotel where Li Xuan was staying.

"Huh? Are you coming for me?" Li Xuan was originally watching Yuriko making trouble with a bystander mentality, but he didn't expect the situation to suddenly change, and Yuriko actually came to his side.

Shouldn't I have revealed my identity? Or is it that magical girls are naturally attracted to each other?

To be on the safe side, Li Xuan ordered his magical girls to ambush nearby and be ready to transform at any time.

Yuriko soon rushed into the lobby aggressively. The hotel manager saw a kimono girl holding a knife rushing in and hurried to greet her: "Miss, you are in the wrong place. The comic exhibition is on the next street."

"The winning band of the music festival is staying here, right? One of them has a guitarist with a mouth full of shark teeth. Call her down immediately! I have something to say." Yuriko requested.

"this..."

"Go quickly!" Yuriko used magic to crush the marble counter and threatened harshly.

"Yes!" The hotel manager was afraid for his life and didn't care about the privacy of the guests. He hurried upstairs and went straight to the Witch Band's room.

Li Xuan also wanted to see what she was acting out, so without waiting for the manager to speak, he asked Yao to wear headphones that could allow for remote calls and go downstairs to meet her. He also specifically asked her not to reveal her identity, and he would be there to help if things went wrong.

Because her magic power was sealed, Yao was also affected by cognitive impairment and could not recognize Yuriko's identity. But from her attire and temperament, she could still tell that this was a transformed magical girl.

"I'm the guitarist of the Witch Band. I heard you were looking for me?" Yao walked up and asked casually.

"Yes, there is an important matter that I need to settle with you." Yuriko said with a bad look on her face.

"Important thing? Is it an autograph? Private fans are really scary. Forget it, since you are here, I will just sign one for you!" Yao sighed helplessly:

"Please hold up your buttocks. I will sign my name on the fat magnet - oh, sorry, I almost forgot, formal kimonos don't have fat magnets, right? Then just write it directly on the buttocks? If you use a ballpoint pen, it can last for a long time, as long as you don't wash your butt." Yao picked up the pen in the hotel's comment book, and seemed to be really thinking about where to sign.

Chapter 193 A Short Duel

"I almost forgot that you stupid guys can't see my identity through cognitive barriers." Yuriko sneered and then canceled the transformation.

"Ah! You are that...that...eh, who are you?" Yao asked, touching his head.

"I am the head lady of the Rurikawa family, Rurikawa Yuriko. You are an ignorant and reckless person, a fool from the Kingdom of Gold. You insulted the reputation of the Rurikawa family on the stage. I want you to kneel down and apologize immediately, otherwise you will duel with me!" Yuriko said, leaning on her katana and looking at Yao with her eyes wide open.

"Huh? Duel? Do you know what year it is now?" Yao said in disbelief.

In fact, not only Yao, but even Li Xuan was quite surprised. He never thought that Yuriko had gone through all the trouble to find this place in the morning just to make Yao kneel down and apologize. The nobles' train of thought was really incomprehensible.

But imagine the education she received since childhood, perhaps her thinking is still stuck in the era when the Liulichuan family had the final say and anyone who insulted the family's reputation would have to wash away the shame with blood.

In fact, Yuriko's reason for seeking revenge was not as noble as Li Xuan thought. She just couldn't accept failure, and happened to be ridiculed by Yao, so she took out all her anger on her.

"Using a duel to wash away shame is a rule passed down here since ancient times, and it will not become invalid due to time. Don't worry, even if we have to duel, I will not take your life. I will only cut off one of your arms so that you can't play the guitar in this life. I will never use the power that is beyond your cognition just now." Yuriko said condescendingly.

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sneer: It sounds nice to say not to take anyone's life, but in fact, she is just afraid that killing someone will lose her qualifications as a magical girl, but she also wants to save face from Yao, so she said that.

If she really disregarded everything and was determined to fight to the death with the Yaba Group even at the risk of losing her qualifications as a magical girl, Li Xuan could still respect her as a girl.

But she herself was unwilling to kill anyone, but instigated her loyal maid, Lona, to kill people. This selfish behavior made Li Xuan, who had a weak sense of morality, feel very disgusted.

"Yao, don't get entangled with her. Just say a few perfunctory words and I will summon monsters to lure her away." Li Xuan said to her through the headset.

"Uncle, I owe you a favor. Give me my knife. I want to duel with her." Yao said in the headset.

"Are you crazy? Your magic power is sealed, and now you are just a little kid less than 1.6 meters tall. It's obvious that the other party is well prepared. What if..."

"Nothing could happen. This guy insulted my hometown and I'm angry." Yao said to Yuriko with narrowed eyes.

"Okay." It was the first time that Li Xuan saw Yao speak so seriously, so he opened the portal to the illusory evil land, took out the long and short double swords, and asked the black cat to send them over.

Yao's transformation method is very special. Other magical girls transform through badges, but she does not have a badge. Instead, she transforms through the dual swords she carries with her.

Li Xuan guessed: This pair of swords is most likely a special transformation badge. The reason why there are two badges is because Yao Seal is good at both fighting and sealing, and one person has two magic systems.

Although this pair of swords has a noble origin, Yao is just a petite girl after all. Can she really defeat the confident Yuriko?

Li Xuan, who was a little worried, called Tang Xi over and asked her if she could subdue Yuriko who was holding a katana without transforming.

"Master, I can't do it. Judging from the opponent's posture, he has undoubtedly undergone special cold weapon training, and I have only learned judo." Tang Xi shook his head in embarrassment.

"Is the gap so big? You are a jutsu master who once sealed an A-rank magical girl with your own flesh." Li Xuan asked doubtfully.

"This is not something that can be made up by the gap in technology. The Thai fighting god Gaolang Wensawado once said: There is a high wall between 'bare-handed and armed'. Even the top jiu-jitsu masters are not sure of subduing a girl holding a sharp blade, let alone me." Tang Xi spread his hands.

"Big brother, don't worry. Yao will win." The black cat, who had been silent for a long time, said softly.

Seeing that Black Cat was very confident in his partner, Li Xuan did not make any further arrangements, but continued to hide on the second floor and watch the battle below.

"It's a pair of long and short swords? Does the Golden Kingdom still have samurai traditions?" Yuriko couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Yao's weapon.
