Chapter 431. Do You Want to Become a Magical Girl?
When Qian Qian was unceremoniously yanked into the room by Ning Chu, her heart was filled with despair and regret.
Such carelessness!
How could it be hidden so deep!
She could already imagine that Succubus transforming into a gigantic tentacle monster, thick tentacles wrapping around her limbs, teasing her body, trying to inject her with fluids.
Even though she was already aware of the risks, when faced with it all, she was still filled with panic.
“You’re dressed so provocatively! What if my boyfriend sees this!”
The expression of despair froze as Qian Qian blankly looked at Ning Chu, who had an anxious look on her face, before glancing down at her own skin-tight black battle suit.
Shame surged within her, and a bashful flush quickly spread across her cheeks. She instinctively covered her chest and weakly mumbled, “Oh~”
A faint glow floated from her magic wand, the light enveloping her like flowing water. Where it passed, the battle suit transformed into starlight that dissipated into the air, revealing her soft, pale skin.
Ning Chu stared at the completely bare girl, dumbfounded.
Isn’t there supposed to be holy light blocking the view when a magical girl transforms?
Oh, this is from the little royal story I wrote, so it makes sense.
Qian Qian’s face grew even hotter, and amidst the glowing light, an autumn winter JK uniform materialized out of thin air on her body.
“Okay, okay…”
The magical girl awkwardly looked away, not daring to meet Ning Chu’s surprised gaze.
“Alright, I brought Wen Yang in.” As Ning Chu walked toward the door, her gaze lingered on Qian Qian, unable to help but ask, “What’s going on?”
Reality is different from novels—though she as the author had set some parameters herself, an explanation from Qian Qian was still necessary.
“Let Xiaohong explain.”
“That cat?”
“Yeah, I’m Qian Qian, a college student, and a part-time magical girl.”
Upon opening the door, Ning Chu turned back and said, “I think you and Wen Yang know each other well, so I won’t introduce myself.”
“Uh-huh.”
Wen Yang still hadn’t grasped the situation. Standing outside the door, he looked at the two girls inside, “What’s going on?”
“It’s just a misunderstanding.”
He paused but didn’t ask further. He handed Ning Chu the milk tea and hand-grabbed pancake: “Late-night snack.”
With a weight off her shoulders, Ning Chu’s smile became much sweeter than usual. She happily accepted the late-night snack and told Qian Qian and the Black Cat, “You can just find a place to sit.”
“Alright.”
Qian Qian sat on the edge of the bed, sniffing the rich scent of desire.
Looking down at the sheets beneath her, the blotchy white and dark stains made her expression turn subtle. She fidgeted awkwardly, tugging at the hem of her dress.
Seeing where Qian Qian sat, Ning Chu’s face flushed bright red.
She opened her mouth, but seeing that Qian Qian also remained silent, she decided to act as if nothing had happened.
“Xiaohong, explain the situation.”
“Leave it to me!”
“I what?!”
Wen Yang nearly grabbed a broom to hit the fairy when he heard the Black Cat speak.
But Ning Chu timely grabbed his wrist: “Think of Hei Dou—it’s very reasonable.”
“That… does make a lot of sense.”
The little couple sat side by side on the sofa, while the Black Cat jumped to the coffee table, crouching there and licking its front paws as it explained.
“Generally speaking, I should erase your memory, but it seems unnecessary at the moment.”
“There’s a creature from another world that occasionally descends into ours, and it overtakes human bodies, disturbing social stability. We call it a Demon.”
Ah, a tentacle monster~
Ning Chu pondered while munching on her hand-grabbed pancake and sipping the milk tea.
“For every Demon that descends, I’ll contract a girl to give her magic until the Demon is eliminated. Then her mission ends, and she loses her magic, returning to a normal life.”
“Because a magical girl’s power comes from the corresponding Demon.”
Qian Qian nodded, “Last year it suddenly approached me, asking me to become a magical girl, and I agreed…”
“Later I met a senior and learned all the Demons are tentacle monsters. If you fail in battle… Once or twice, as long as you can hold on, it’s fine. But if you can’t and get overwhelmed…” She shot a glare at the Black Cat in frustration, “If I had known, I would never have agreed!”
Though Qian Qian was shy about it, Ning Chu’s mind already pictured “Qian Qian X Slime.”
Just a few simple sentences helped her understand the setting of magical girls and Demons.
Logically, Lily would be perfect as a magical girl… Given how heavy the Succubus’s XP is, failing once or twice might even make her happy.
“I get it, so you guys thought I was the Demon before?”
Ning Chu feigned ignorance and asked.
“Broadly speaking, you are indeed a Demon, and Qian Qian’s magic comes from you.”
True, Demons are tentacle monsters from another world, while she is a human from another world.
But she still felt puzzled: “So how do we handle this situation? Didn’t you say that the magical girl’s mission can only be considered complete after eliminating the corresponding Demon?”
Qian Qian curled her left leg, hugging her calf: “Well, my magic doesn’t work on you, so let’s switch it to monitoring instead.”
“……”
“I’ve already processed the transfer papers; next week we’ll be classmates~”
Ning Chu rubbed her nose wearily, suddenly realizing that Wen Yang still didn’t know she was a time traveler.
She instinctively glanced at Wen Yang, only to see him leaning against the sofa chair, rubbing his eyes and confusedly opening them.
No turning back now.
Wen Yang was just an ordinary person, and the Black Cat had no intention of letting him know the situation.
In a moment of clarity, Wen Yang immediately sat upright, muscles tensed, nervously looking at Ning Chu beside him.
“It’s okay.”
“That’s good…”
Wen Yang’s tense muscles relaxed a little. He anxiously wrapped his arm around Ning Chu’s waist, keeping a cautious eye on the Black Cat that had knocked him out.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s really fine.”
In front of outsiders, Ning Chu felt a bit embarrassed by their affectionate actions.
She looked up but saw Qian Qian and the Black Cat suddenly become expressionless. The atmosphere in the room grew serious and heavy.
Shutting her mouth, she dared not speak. She could only hear the rain outside growing urgent and dense, the rain shelter outside crackling, as the continuous spring rain seemed to be transforming into a downpour.
“Another Demon has appeared.”
The Black Cat suddenly jumped from the coffee table, leaping onto Qian Qian’s shoulder. Qian Qian hurriedly ran to the bedside, drawing back the curtain to gaze at the night shrouded in the rain.
Ning Chu rushed over as well: “No way?!”
What the heck! Is a tentacle monster actually coming this time?
She followed Qian Qian’s gaze into the distance and spotted a not-so-conspicuous shooting star sliding down from the horizon, hidden behind the heavy rain.
“That direction…”
“It’s the school.” Qian Qian answered.
This must be the tentacle monster from the story!
The Black Cat clung to Qian Qian’s shoulder, turning its head to Ning Chu: “Another magical girl spot has opened up, you…”
“I don’t want it!”
“You can fulfill one wish…”
“Absolutely not!”
Ning Chu interrupted the Black Cat again, shaking her head vigorously as if to dismiss the notion.
While the magical girl’s abilities might be stronger than that of a Succubus, perhaps allowing her to defeat the main character of the royal story.
But she certainly didn’t intend to fight a tentacle monster! Winning is one thing; the consequences of losing are way too terrifying!
