The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 372 Better Luckier Than Time

"Have you really found someone new?"

The following day, somewhere in Chengdu.

Nan Xiaofeng walked down the street, accompanied by Hua Ling and Lin Muyao. The three of them walked side by side, chatting idly.

The conversation naturally turned to Wang Xiaowang, a newcomer.

"Yes, Sister Tianqing asked me to go meet her with her yesterday."

Hua Ling nodded calmly and said.

"So, how's that newbie? Is she cute? Has she successfully transformed? What's her codename?"

Lin Muyao immediately stepped forward and asked excitedly, looking eager to see her junior.

Then, the white sable elf grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her away from Hua Ling, who was smiling bitterly.

"She hasn't successfully transformed yet. Xiaoyue said she just received the Guardian Star, how could it be so fast?"

Bai Ling explained it to Lin Muyao in this way.

But this clearly did not dispel the latter's confusion, and he remained curious.

"Her name is Wang Xiaowang, and she's a canine beastman," Hua Ling replied, answering Lin Muyao's question.

"Eh—, a canine beastman!"

"Yes, their ears and tails are all furry. I heard they're from the Bern Mountain tribe? I don't know much about orc tribes."

Hua Ling sighed.

"And she also attended Rongcheng Third College of Arts and Sciences, where she was classmates with me and Xiaofeng."

"Huh? Classmate? Me?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaofeng blinked in confusion and said, pointing to herself as she spoke.

"Yeah, she's a freshman, so she's kind of our junior."

"But then again, I think Xiao Wang..." Hua Ling stopped mid-sentence, as if she was thinking about something.

After a brief moment of thought, the girl said softly:

"...How should I put it? She seems cheerful and lively, but I feel that she is actually quite lonely."

"Are you lonely...? I remember Xiaoyue mentioned this to me this morning too. Shall we go find her and hang out later?"

Bai Ling thought long and hard before coming up with an idea that didn't sound very good.

Then it was quickly rejected by Karin.

"Let's forget about that. She hasn't officially become a member yet, and a sudden swarm of people might scare her."

—When Hualing went to meet Wang Xiaowang yesterday, she sensed the dog girl's worry.

"Hmm... let's wait until she successfully transforms before playing with her! We still have important things to do today!"

Nan Xiaofeng chuckled, changed the subject, and looked at the Maocai restaurant not far ahead.

"Let's celebrate with some maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) for lunch today!"

"Okay—"

.

Eating maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) is a mysterious rule set within the Hyacinth Squad.

[The day after defeating Xin Yuehu, we'll go to a hot pot restaurant for a delicious meal], this is the rule that Nan Xiaofeng set for treating everyone after Lin Muyao joined the team.

Although the team hasn't had much of a chance to eat maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot), their recent fights have gone relatively smoothly. Yesterday, they even managed to break through Xin Yuehu's Monster Arena, which was very encouraging.

"But did we really win yesterday?"

While eating bacon, Lin Muyao asked.

Last night's Monster Arena, as Xin Yuehu explained in her live stream, was one of the New Year's events planned by Alice.

Moreover, although it was described as a new creative monster battle, the individual strength of the monsters was actually not that great, which is why Hyacinth and Iris set a record of thirty consecutive victories.

"Why not! We defeated so many weirdos, of course we have to celebrate!" Nan Xiaofeng said confidently.

"You dare call this a celebration! Xiao Feng, weren't the monsters you fought yesterday just random minions summoned by Xin Yuehu?"

The white ferret spirit didn't tolerate her behavior and flew to Nan Xiaofeng's shoulder to complain.

"What if Heart Moon Fox summoned her... what was it called again? Her team of witches seems to have a really cool codename?"

"The Twelve Zodiac Witches," Lin Muyao immediately replied.

As the chief moderator of Magical Girl Fox's official live stream, Lin Muyao knows Xin Yuehu inside and out, and even the exclusive gifts stored in her magical space are almost piled up like a small mountain.

If it comes to topics related to the Heart Moon Fox, Lin Muyao feels that she is probably the most qualified to speak on the subject, apart from the Hellcat.

Then Bai Ling looked over with a subtle gaze.

"Hey Mu Yao, whose side are you on? How come you seem so familiar with Xin Yuehu's moves?"

"I feel like this question has been asked several times already."

"That's not important!"

Bai Ling stomped her foot angrily, almost knocking the fried sausage off Nan Xiaofeng's chopsticks.

"In short, Xin Yuehu didn't even use her full strength against you yesterday!"

"But we didn't use the Starry Night Shadow... Ouch, ouch, ouch, don't pull my ear!"

Just as Nan Xiaofeng was about to retort, the white sable spirit grabbed his ear, making him wince in pain.

A chuckle rippled through the crowd.

...

But in any case, today is a day worth celebrating for the righteous magical girls.

Celebrate the arrival of the newcomers, celebrate the brief victory, and celebrate the new year.

But for Su Tianqing, things weren't so rosy.

"—Although it's not hellish difficulty, how exactly can I awaken the big dog's will?"

The fox-girl, dressed in a nightgown, sat at the dining table, staring at her phone and talking to herself.

"Huh? Tianqing, were you calling me just now?"

The catgirl's voice came from the kitchen. Her deep blue cat tail opened the door, and a curiously twitching cat ear peeked out.

"He's just talking to himself while watching a video~ What are we having for lunch today, Little Fish?"

The fox girl answered honestly, jumped off the chair and ran to the kitchen door, peeking out at the cat girl who was busy at the stove.

Wearing an apron and standing on a kitchen stool, she used extra-long chopsticks to scoop a mouthful of noodles from the pot and put it into a bowl that had already been lined with seasonings.

Add a spoonful of the carefully simmered Nan Family's secret meat sauce, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a bowl of Nan Family's mixed sauce noodles is served.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious! The minced meat noodles made with small fish are super delicious!"

The fox's tail wagged loudly.

A leisurely afternoon.

This morning, Nan Xiaofeng unusually got up early to go out and play. Nan's father also took the two elderly people to the hospital for a follow-up check-up and to get their medication. Only the cat and fox, who had no plans for the day, were left at home.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to enjoy some alone time at home as a couple? This fox will definitely not let this opportunity slip by!

After eating and washing dishes, the cat and the fox naturally sat side by side on the sofa after a simple lunch.

But while Su Tianqing was watching the new anime and chatting with the catgirl, she was also making Yue Tianxin think about another problem.

How can a magical girl who doesn't yet have a belief successfully transform?

My usual method is to approach them in advance and establish a close relationship with them, and then use monsters to create crisis situations so that the magical girls can show their protective beliefs.

This method has been effectively tested on Hua Ling and Lin Muyao, but not on Wang Xiaowang...

Should he personally take charge?

That won't work. The College of Arts and Sciences is too close to Nan Xiaofeng's place, and time is extremely tight.

If things go wrong, it could easily escalate into a major battle between the good guys and the bad guys, and Wang Xiaowang, a newcomer, would have absolutely no chance to get involved.

But if I rashly ask her out of her dorm...

Su Tianqing had a vague feeling that this dog girl's inner self was definitely not as lively as she appeared on the surface, and that extreme high-pressure methods like those used by Karin would be difficult to use.

Not to mention that they now have two Star Shadows. If even Hyacinth and Iris can't withstand that kind of pressure, how can Wang Xiaowang, a newcomer, turn the tide like Hua Ling did when she first transformed?

"Chengdu Midday News, now broadcasting."

When the new anime episode ended, the TV switched to a news channel, and on the screen were two unfamiliar magical girls being interviewed.

The cat and fox were both startled, and their tails, which had been intertwined, stood up at the same time.

"Hmm? Who are these two...?" Nan Jiayu asked curiously.

"Tianqing, do you know them?"

"They don't look familiar... Ah, look at the subtitles below, this is the London Foehn Squad, these two are Foehn and North Wind."

North wind and foehn wind? Why is Chengdu TV interviewing them? Could it be...?

Su Tianqing keenly sensed something was amiss and reached out to turn the volume up a bit.

"In order to track down the whereabouts of a major criminal, the magical girl squad 'Burning Wind' from London has arrived in Chengdu today. They will be stationed in Chengdu for a period of time and assist the Hyacinth Squad in arresting 'Jack the Ripper'."

Hey ho, the Burning Wind Squad.

Upon hearing the name, the fox spirit's mind raced, and almost immediately a brilliant idea came to her.

Secret manual, you know what I mean?

【Task Update】

As expected, the Amusement Manual, just like himself, sensed the immense amusement and almost immediately issued the following task:

[Task Chain 8: Acclimatization Issues]

[By leveraging the conflict between the Fenfeng Squad and Alice, we can guide Wang Xiaowang to establish a belief in protection.]

Okay!

Su Tianqing almost wanted to loudly praise the brilliant idea behind the Secret Manual.

Aurora and Wang Xiaowang are roommates, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't find out about each other's magical girl identities.

Since that's the case, why not just let them find out about each other and establish a determination to protect one another? Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

After they learn each other's identities as good or evil, with a little guidance, I can even get them to keep this secret!

If I were to personally get involved and carefully scheme against this hotheaded Burning Wind Squad...

"Hehehe... Sorry, Fenfeng Squad."

The golden-haired fox girl revealed her usual cunning smile.

Please cooperate with my plan, Fox!
