When the boys heard about the gate of the new world or something, a certain part of the boy tensed up just by hearing it, and seeing Yuan's sudden change in painting style, they felt an urge to regret following them and want to run away immediately.

Even Yameng next to him looked like he knew Yuan again, and his mouth opened wide in shock.

"Okay, Madoka, if you continue the joke, they will be scared away."

At a critical moment, Homura, who actually had a relationship with the small team during the Sana incident, spoke up.

In their impression, this black, long, straight beauty who should be more aura, cold and handsome, actually acted as a slanderer and peacemaker, and took the initiative to help them solve the siege, and also drove away the queen of the circle Form, let go of their fragile boys' hearts.

"Hey hey~ I'm sorry, little brothers~ I couldn't help but make a joke with you~"

Should it be said that one thing falls one thing?

Homura, who is the easiest to chill the atmosphere, is responsible for cooling down the overheated atmosphere when Yuan is around. Eat to death.

In short, after Yuan put away her joking queen form, the atmosphere returned to harmony.

She returned to the appearance of a gentle big sister, and welcomed the members of the small team into the manager's room one by one.

"Sister Yuan will also make such jokes... Also, the decoration here is still the same."

Yameng, who was half the owner, was the last to be seated. While complaining about Yuan's performance just now, she looked at the manager's room.

Compared with the office area outside, the decoration of the manager's office is another scene.As a symbol, the boss chair of the long table is facing the door and leaning far in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and only this iconic object in the whole room shows the status of the "manager's room". Other places, especially the one in front of the long table On the empty carpet, it looks like a tea restaurant for family dinners.

Yuan and Yan were sitting next to the coffee table in this area just now. There are cushions placed on the carpet under the coffee table and the sofa surrounds them. They can choose to take off their shoes and sit directly next to the coffee table, or they can choose to sit on the sofa, no matter which one they sit on. Fa can enjoy a pleasant morning tea time with the snacks and black tea on the coffee table.

Compared with the busy office area outside the manager's office, this place is simply a luxurious private space for capitalists.

However, anyway, Homura was only here to help Tatsuya coordinate personnel, funds, and connect with the parent company. Under normal circumstances, no one would report to this place. Instead, it became a secret dating base for her and Yuan.

Now, in the absence of Tatsuya as the protagonist, the small team sat down around the coffee table.

They stated the purpose of their visit.

Chapter 7 Maybe this main line was laid a long time ago? (three)

"So, that 'magic girl connoisseur' is not me. Although I also like to post blogs to complain about your previous online works, but only a few people pay attention to my comments, how can it be compared to the connoisseur's With a big hand, it will easily bring you and the paper drama library to the same level to compete on the same stage."

When the small team was fed dog food by Yuan and Yan in front of the manager's office, Tatsuya, who was supposed to notify them in advance and go to the manager's room to receive his classmates, appeared in the fire-proof mezzanine of the office building, talking on the phone with his buddies here.

He was confirming his sense of sight from the connoisseur's blog, and he felt that the cynical, good at winning people's hearts, and the attitude of looking for fun without taking too much trouble, was very much like his best friend.

However, during the call, Yixia easily denied the fact that he was a "magic girl connoisseur".

Tatsuya really couldn't find any clear evidence to prove his guess, so it can only be considered that he had an illusion?

"...Is that so? By the way, you really know my current situation."

"Haha, the circle of light novels has become quite lively recently because of your affairs. Even if I can't figure it out, it's impossible. Besides, you are my best friend. If there is something wrong with your best friend, and I like to join in the fun so much, how can you not comment on it?" Are you cheering for you here? Let me tell you, apart from your navy, I am the one who supports your library with the highest quality posts~"

Yes, thank you my buddy, do you want to receive a navy salary? "

"Shui Jun's salary, how can you treat a big meal to be worth it? There is nothing to say, after your novel is successfully released, you have to treat me to a big meal no matter what, and I have to choose the location and level of the dinner." ~"

"You are the uncle, you have the final say, anyway, even if I set the location, if you are not satisfied with the food, you will keep changing places until you are satisfied? - Then again, you really don't know "Appreciation of Magical Girls" home'?"

"Don't rush to change the subject, the treats will be decided in advance~ As for the connoisseur, I have talked to him. This guy evaluates the works of magical girls fairly objectively. The key is that he likes some breakthroughs as much as I do. Mainstream stuff, so don’t look at the blog saying that you want to judge the “orthodox work of magical girls”, in fact, your healing style may be more popular~”

The call went on for a while, but Tatsuya still couldn't hear any flaws in Ichika's words.

Maybe he really only talked to connoisseurs, and connoisseurs only had a lot in common with him?

At least, from the information disclosed by Yixia, Tatsuya knew that his work still had an advantage to some extent.

"If he really likes it and decides that we won the competition, my first book might really become a hit..."

"Be confident in yourself. This is your hard work for more than a year, and no matter what, I will support you."

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that some things can't be solved by confidence. Also, how did you contact Connoisseur? Is there a way other than through private messages on the blog? Can you introduce me?"

"This is a bit difficult. That guy doesn't like to contact the author of the work being reviewed. He said that if he has a personal encounter with the author, it will inevitably be unfair in the judgment, so he has always refused to disclose other contact methods. Or Tatsuya, can you pretend to be a fan of magical girls and contact him quietly?"

"Well, it sounds like he is really an impeccable guy, and he is also a big V with persistence and a bottom line... Forget it, I don't plan to contact him anymore. If he wants to choose us and Sanqianyuan rigorously and fairly It is 'orthodox', so let's rely on real strength to see the truth."

"So go ahead, Tatsuya~ By the way, don't forget to treat me to a big meal at the end~"

"Ha, I won't forget to reward you, so you can look forward to it."

This is the end of the conversation full of the respective styles of the buddies.

Tatsuya also failed to complete his original purpose of calling, but he still obtained a lot of information about the connoisseur.

What is the relationship between Yixia and the connoisseur? Let’s put it aside. If Yixia’s information is true and credible, then when the novel is released next, it will be the time to decide the outcome. will not affect the overall situation.

Perhaps, he should adjust his strategy and shift the resources used for public relations to the quality of the sale.

It's just that the novel will be released next week. Even if you want to make the novel more perfect in terms of content, it's too late to revise it. At most, you can put more effort and sincerity into the packaging and layout.

With these in mind, he returned to the office area through the fire-proof interlayer where the phone call would not affect other people's work.

It wasn't until he came to his booth and saw the closed door of the manager's room that he remembered that he had forgotten one thing.

--Oops!Before calling, I didn't inform my sister that they had classmates coming over!

——Wouldn't that group of weirdos see some harmonious scenes?

Recalling what he had forgotten, he scratched his pink hair with a headache, and then rushed to the door of the manager's office.

But he almost bumped into Ya Meng who came out of the door.

---

"Tatsuya? Where did you go just now?"

"Uh, squad leader, I called just now, and I didn't have time to say hello to you."

"Well, you really have been a busy person lately—we're going to the basement now, do you want to come over?"

"The basement? What are you doing there?"

"This, it's a long story..."

This conversation happened when Tatsuya almost bumped into Yameng.

It turned out that when Tatsuya and Ichika talked on the phone, there was something new in the communication between the two senior magical girls and the small team.

"Brother, look here~ Sister will answer this question~"

It's not a big problem, but a certain older sister who likes to play tricks on the younger ones came up with another idea that she thought was very interesting.

"Hmm, that's how it is. Aren't your classmates confused about whether to sign a contract to become a magical girl? And Xiao Yameng even brought them here specially to hear the opinions of me and Homura."

"Then, after communicating, the focus of their confusion is on the worry that 'if you don't become a magical girl, you won't be able to protect yourself from the events in the other world', and they have some longing for magical girls. I thought, if I let them see With the "average combat power" of magical girls, they can probably know that it's not just about becoming a magical girl and being able to sit back and relax in the other world~"

The maker of the new situation, Mrs. Yuan, who hides her increasingly dark heart under the gentle face of her big sister, explained to Tatsuya why they were going to the basement before Yameng.

"So? Going to the basement can show them the 'average combat power' of magical girls?"

"Hey~ Did Xiao Da forget that the basement of the Kamo Building has been transformed into an arsenal plus a training range because of Homura's relationship~ I want Xiao Yameng to have a fight with Homura there It's an exhibition match. After all, the younger sisters have only seen Xiaoyameng's strength as a "novice", so as a reference, let her fight with Homura, and you can experience what Homura's "average combat power" is like that's it~"

The reason for their transfer to the basement was explained clearly by Yuan.

It turned out that Yameng and Yan were going to play an exhibition match there.

But after Tatsuya heard the reason, he hung up his dead fish eyes immediately, and looked at his snickering sister speechlessly.

Sister played a game..."

"Hmm, that's right~"

"Well, squad leader, I won't go to the basement. I still have things to do. By the way, I suggest you do your best as soon as you make a move, otherwise... Well, you will know the consequences after you finish the fight."

His dead fish eyes had no effect on Yuan who smiled gently, so he looked at Yan with a cold face and no expression, and found that these two seniors were playing for real. They really wanted to have an exhibition match with Yameng , In the end, he could only pat Yameng on the shoulder with infinite sympathy, and gave an advice with the connotation of "asking for more blessings".

Tatsuya's advice and his expression made Yameng confused.

She was a little nervous when she heard that she was going to face Homura, because she knew she was no match for Homura, and because Madoka still called her a "novice" magical girl.But she doesn't feel that she has no chance at all. Instead, she feels that this is a challenge, and she can play hard to check her recent growth.

——After all, Sister Yuan said that Sister Yan is the "average combat power" of a magical girl.

——Although when I became a magical girl, I witnessed her battle with the opera witch, and I still think it is very cool; and when she showed me the instant movement skills, she also showed a strong aura everywhere.

——But after a year, even if I'm not on average, I won't be too far behind. I should still have a chance!

The above is the mental activity of Yameng when she agreed to the exhibition competition, so she didn't understand the meaning of Tatsuya's sympathetic eyes.

She didn't notice at all that when Yuan said "novice" and "average combat power", he put quotation marks in them.

After Fenmao, who made an excuse that he still had something to do, but actually couldn't bear to witness his companion's fiasco, left, the small team members followed the two senior magical girls to the basement of the Kamu Building.

Ding--!

The door of the special elevator slid open, and as far as the eye can see, it is a wide space that can be hooked up with the "secret base".

Sister Yuan mentioned before that the basement of the Kamo Building was transformed into an arsenal and a training range by Homura. When they got out of the elevator, they didn't see all kinds of ammunition, but the ground made of alloy, the ceiling made of alloy, and the ground made of alloy The wall surface has rendered the atmosphere of the "secret base" here at a glance.

The space made of alloy was very wide, and it was obvious that what they saw as soon as they got out of the elevator was a training range.

There are rows of fixed targets on the other side of the shooting range. Look at the two openings on the wall. Maybe there will be drones or robots attached to moving targets that will be released from those two openings when needed.

The so-called arsenal has not been seen by the small team members for the time being. Probably in order to prevent irrelevant people from entering here by mistake, Homura hid all those dangerous things in a place where they cannot be seen at a glance.In short, they didn't come here today to visit Homura's collection, so the two senior magical girls didn't intend to introduce them to them at all, and walked to the center of the shooting range on their own.

Standing still in the center, Yan took out a remote control from nowhere, she clicked a few times on the button, and soon, even those fixed targets were folded into the alloy wall, and the wide ground in the center of the shooting range was opened. In a mechanism, the floor that was originally made of alloy was replaced by the cork floor commonly found in gymnasiums.

The entire shooting range has thus been transformed into a ring suitable for exhibition competitions.

Homura took off his high heels by the side of the ring, and stood in a corner in his OL outfit.

Yuan Ze smiled and clapped his hands outside the arena. After attracting the attention of the small team members, he announced the rules of this exhibition game: "The purpose of this exhibition game is to let everyone see what is the average combat power of a magical girl?" How about it? Therefore, Homura is forbidden to use ammunition~ In addition, her ability is very special, in order to let everyone have an intuitive feeling about the game, let’s also prohibit it by the way~”

"As for Xiaoyameng, there are no restrictions. As long as you can hit Homura with enough damage, you will win the game. On the other hand, if Homura can make you lose consciousness during the battle, then I'm sorry, but this means that you have just crossed the 'novice' gap, and there is still a long way to go from Homura."

Yuan seemed to be overseeing the exhibition match as a referee.

While she was explaining the rules, the members of the small team were already sitting outside the ring, and Yameng walked directly opposite Yan.

"I have no objection to the other rules. After all, as long as I cause enough damage to Sister Yan, I will be judged to win... I am not arrogant enough to think that I can beat Sister Yan. But Sister Yan is prohibited from using weapons and abilities. Show 'average combat power'? As far as I know, Sister Yan is famous for her gun fighting skills and time-stop magic?"

It is said that it is an exhibition match, but in fact, Yameng values ​​this competition more than the members of the small team.

This is the first time she has fought against a senior. Even if she can't win against Yan, at least she can clearly see the gap between herself and the "average combat power".She completely regards the exhibition competition as a test of her growth. The warlike gene inherited from the family blood blends with her dream of "becoming stronger", igniting her fighting spirit.

In the eagerness to fight, she was a little dissatisfied that she couldn't see Yan's two best skills.

"...I've been curious since you signed the contract, why would a girl dream of 'becoming stronger'?"

Before the battle started, Yameng's fighting spirit had already collided with Yan's icy aura.

The senior didn't explain the reasons for the prohibition of arms and abilities in the first place. She was silent for a while, her slightly raised head brought a chill and swept the entire arena. Shutting up at this moment, she looked at Yan with a smile and asked Yameng a question.

"Take 'becoming stronger' as a dream? Ha, Sister Yan didn't ask me questions, I almost forgot that reason... Speaking of which, I didn't experience any major life encounters when I had my dream, it was just when I first The first time I found the decayed plaque of 'Saki Heart-ryu Ancient Martial Arts' in the storage room of my house, I came up with this idea inexplicably."

"However, when my grandfather's family stopped running gyms, my father didn't even know the history of the family, so every day I spent at school, apart from my love of professional wrestling, almost all of this The idea was abandoned——Now that I think about it, I really have to thank Sister Yan, if you hadn’t shown me the real power when you defeated the Opera Witch, I wouldn’t have regained my dream until now!”

Facing Yan's question, and facing Yan's overpowering momentum when asking the question, Yameng slowly told a dark history of his own.

Perhaps the small team members here have long been used to Yameng's overly heroic appearance and her majesty ruling the whole class with violence, but when she told the dark history with emotion, they realized that their squad leader also did something wrong. The well-known childhood, her current appearance, is the accumulation of past experiences bit by bit.

After the words fell, the tense atmosphere caused by the confrontation between the two magical girls was mixed with some unspeakable meaning.

"Is that so? It's a pure reason."

"Then in the face of this pure reason, it is indeed necessary for me to explain clearly the two restrictions on me."

But it can be seen that she didn't intend to take it seriously because of Yuan's somewhat joking proposal at first, but now after listening to Yameng's reasons, she has changed her attitude of educating the younger generation to facing her opponent seriously.

"You also said just now that gun fighting technique and time-stop magic are my best trump cards, but apart from these two, do I have no means to fight?"

"The answer is no, because whether it's instant movement or the state of fighting with'heart', don't forget, these two are the first I will show you-the effort I spent on them More, even when Tatsuya put forward these two concepts, I was the first to realize them."

"As the founder of your current hole card skills, I am qualified to test your cultivation achievements."

"Are you, Kirisaki Ameng, ready to see their original power?"

Pushing forward with his left hand and pulling back with his right foot, Yan pulled out a standard fist while explaining.

The icy aura also accumulated to the full point at this time, facing Yameng, the test was imminent.
