Chapter 492 The Magical Girl's Bunny Trial
Chapter 492 The Magical Girl's Bunny Trial
"From last night to this morning, our city experienced a rare and extreme weather event known as the Magic Storm."
"A total of five monster attacks were reported. The attacks were spread out, and the Hero Association and the magical girls worked together to fight back tenaciously, achieving unprecedented success."
"Two civilians sustained minor injuries during this attack. The cause of their injuries was that they were caught in the crossfire of the magical girls' battle while hiding in the underground parking garage due to a failure to evacuate in time."
"If you encounter a strange attack, please follow the instructions to the nearest shelter and do not linger on the battlefield."
Morning news is playing everywhere in Syracuse.
The Hero Association's logistics department is busy repairing buildings and ensuring the integrity of defenses and shelters, while remaining vigilant against potential monster alarms.
The Hyacinth Team was busy all night yesterday. After returning to the city from Silver Sand Valley, they went straight to their hotel and fell fast asleep, none of them waking up.
This, in turn, gave Su Tianqing considerable room to maneuver.
For example, right now,
On the makeshift villain's rooftop, five people sat in a row on a spacious sofa, staring at the only two-seater sofa and the mysteriously distorted bunny sisters sitting on it.
"The trial shall now begin."
Xin Yuehu pulled out a small hammer from somewhere, tapped the gavel that the familiar had brought over on the coffee table in front of him, and said with a serious expression.
Sitting next to her were Hellcat and Golden Alice, and Fenrir next to Black Alice.
"Criminal Rabbit! Do you know your crime!"
"I can't reach it!"
The Cheshire Rabbit's style has completely transformed into a minimalist sketch, with bold and unrestrained lines, and it answers cautiously.
Meng Donghua, who was sitting next to her, was in the style of Picasso's abstract paintings. The two sisters, one a sketch artist and the other an abstract artist, sat side by side, looking like some kind of mysterious art exhibition.
"Dare to argue!"
The little hammer struck the gavel twice more, and the golden-haired fox girl continued.
"Witness Marigold, state your testimony!"
"Huh? Should I get involved too?"
Marigold was sitting to the side, munching on the cookies brought by her familiar, when she was suddenly called out by Judge Fox and asked in confusion.
"Of course, Miss Marigold, you witnessed the whole thing and are the strongest witness."
"No, no, I mean, what exactly is this trial going to be about?" Marigold was even more confused.
I did witness Meng Donghua and Cheshire Rabbit together yesterday, but weren't they already on good terms? I remember Meng Donghua even learned invisibility magic from her.
Although that blood-red Cheshire Rabbit is indeed somewhat frightening, it doesn't seem like we should be discussing a trial...?
"Just recall everything that happened these past two days in detail," Hellcat reminded him with a smile.
Marigold stroked her chin, pondering for a long time before falling into memories.
This morning, I had just returned to the city from Silver Sand Valley when I received the Hero Association's dispatch order.
The Hyacinth Squad had been busy all night and needed to rest. During the day, the city's magic storm was relatively stable, so the association assigned me and Meng Donghua to go out and keep watch.
But the two had only been on the rooftop for five minutes when Hellcat and two Alices flew in and very kindly invited them to the villain's rooftop.
They were really very friendly.
Marigold felt that if she had dared to say a single word of dissent, she might have been knocked unconscious by Hellcat Bangbang with two punches and carried to the villain's rooftop. In the end, the result would have been the same, and she would have just gotten a beating for nothing.
"No, no, that's not the memory. Go back further." Hellcat gave an awkward, wry smile and quickly replied.
"Am I really that violent in the eyes of the younger generation?" Nan Jiayu couldn't help but wonder.
Judging from his character design, he is clearly the gentle and refined type, not only tenderly brushing Tianqing's tail fur but also acting as a lap pillow when she dozes off.
This is absolutely a sweet and caring daughter! Why do her juniors see her as such a violent person?
想来想去都怪风信子那小子,怎幺就这幺欠揍,每次看到她就想上去揍一顿,搞得现在人人都知道地狱猫酷爱打架。
It's all the hyacinth's fault. I'll have to find a reason to beat her up next time we meet.
"In that case, let's start from the night before last." After thinking it over for a while, Marigold finally came up with a story in her mind that should be able to fool people, and said.
After repeatedly confirming that no one's true identity was revealed in the story, the girl began to recount her story—
"It was a night when snow was falling heavily..."
"Stop, stop! Get to the point! The opening environmental description is completely irrelevant!" Fenrir quickly retorted.
"Okay, okay, I'll start from the beginning."
"--When we first arrived at Silver Sand Valley to prepare for our adventure, we saw a magical message from Senior Kalia on our way there the next day, and we followed that message to investigate and search for treasure."
Judge Fox turned to look at the sloppily drawn rabbit sisters on the bench.
"Is the testimony of the witnesses regarding the victim, Meng Donghua, true?"
"How did she become a victim?" Fenrir continued to mutter under his breath.
Meng Donghua's painting style returned from abstract to normal mode, and she nodded gently.
"Ah, yes, yes, what Marigold said is the truth."
"Very well, so it seems the defendant, Cheshire Rabbit, did indeed launch the attack during your treasure hunt! Sentencing immediately! The sentence is tickling!"
"Waaaaaahh ...
The Cheshire Rabbit's sketch style became more exaggerated, as he loudly begged for mercy while suffering from cyberbullying, and the lines of his entire body became much more sloppy.
Fenrir really wanted to complain, "Fox, what crime are you going to sentence me to?", but after thinking it over, she decided to pretend nothing had happened.
"I see, I understand now."
Golden Alice suddenly realized and said to Fenrir.
"Fox is playing a trial game with Rabbit and the others. The loser will be locked up."
"...?" Fenrir was even more confused, feeling that his train of thought was completely out of sync with Alice's.
In short, after racking his brains for a long time, Fenrir finally understood what was going on:
So this was to teach Rabbit a lesson for attacking the newcomer without permission? But she didn't attack at all!
"I feel like I've made a mistake somewhere," the gray wolf girl thought to herself.
"Wait! Please wait a moment!"
Just as the familiars were about to detain Cheshire Rabbit on the spot and lock him in the tickling torture chamber, Meng Donghua suddenly spoke.
"Senior, she...she didn't actually attack me at all! She even protected me when we entered the barrier to search for treasure!"
"Hmm...hmm? I protected you?"
Su Tianqing tilted her head in confusion, one of her fox ears perked up and twitched twice.
He had no idea what had happened inside Kalia's treasure barrier. After hearing Meng Donghua's explanation, the truth seemed to be somewhat different from what he had guessed.
He originally thought that Xia Taotao had accidentally injured Xia Youyou in the state of Starry Night Shadow, but she was saved by the latter's sisterly strength without any disgust, which allowed him to suppress the Blood-Red March Hare.
"Stop! Don't rush to escort them to the execution ground!"
The golden-haired fox girl halted the army of familiars and turned to look at Meng Donghua, whose appearance was normal.
"Miss Meng Donghua, you just said that Rabbit protected you inside the barrier?"
"Um!"
The pink and purple magical girl nodded repeatedly.
"There's one more thing, Senior Xin Yuehu!"
"uh-huh?"
Su Tianqing, who was about to reflect on the current situation, was suddenly called by Meng Donghua. She looked up at the expectant girl, blinked,
"Miss Meng Donghua, is there anything else you'd like to add?"
"No, it's that... um..."
The rabbit girl hesitated for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, and then said:
"Senior Kokoro, what should I do if I want to join you?"
A brief silence.
Su Tianqing's expression gradually calmed down, and her villainous companions all looked at Cheshire Rabbit, who was being dangled in mid-air by the familiar.
"Bunny, you've abducted an ignorant young girl! Your crime is compounded! Sentence delivered immediately! Double the tickling!"
"I didn't!!" the bunny girl cried out in terror.
