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

Chapter 68 Magic Replenishment

An hour and a half later.

Su Tianqing sat by the Hero Association's rescue tent, holding a warm cup of bubble tea in her hands, sipping it slowly.

It's 11 p.m. now.

Outside the Hero Association's First Academy, layers upon layers of police tape almost completely blocked the road.

Reporters, carrying cameras, ran around and weaved through the crowd, eager to get firsthand news.

"Rongcheng TV, Rongcheng TV's frontline reporters bring you live coverage from the scene."

"The association's affiliated academy was attacked by an unknown monster. Magical girls Hyacinth and Iris rushed to provide assistance and successfully annihilated the monster ten minutes ago."

"According to witnesses, the magical girl Hell Shrike, who had appeared before, also came to the scene, along with another pale yellow magical girl who had never been seen before."

Let's turn our attention to this newcomer—

Listening to the reporters talking to the cameras not far away, Su Tianqing put two pearls into her mouth and chewed them carefully.

I was carried out of the house by Iris Flower an hour ago.

Miss Iris's hands are so slender, yet she can carry me horizontally while flying. It seems that the magical girls' physical strength has indeed been enhanced to a considerable extent.

Why is it that I, this fox, am so bad?

After entrusting herself to the care of the Hero Association's on-duty hero, Iris rushed back with her magic cannon, unleashing a dazzling array of colorful light effects.

I don't know if it was because I said something like "Thank you, Iris Flower Sister~" to her.

"—Anyway!"

Not far away, three magical girls were huddled together, being interviewed by reporters.

"This is our new companion, a rookie magical girl!"

"Let me introduce myself~"

"Ah...ah ah..."

The pale yellow magical girl was pushed in front of the reporters, and the flashbulbs kept capturing the girl's awkward and adorable movements.

Su Tianqing also looked around curiously, met Lin Muyao's gaze, and waved to her with a bouncy gait.

A lively and adorable light yellow short skirt, a dress top with puff sleeves, and a pair of white long gloves covering her forearms make up the clever new magical girl in front of us.

Seeing a small head and fluffy big ears of a golden fox occasionally popping out from behind the reporters, Lin Muyao's tense mood immediately calmed down.

The young woman took a deep breath and whispered to the reporters in front of her:

"Hello everyone, I'm... a newly recruited magical girl..."

"From now on, I will continue to be active as a magical girl... and continue to protect everyone!"

The girl's voice was clear, melodious, and full of vitality, earning her applause and cheers.

Su Tianqing was taken back to her rented apartment by the Hero Association's vehicle.

Lin Muyao also went with the golden fox.

"I live on the fourth floor over there, Muyao, you can drop me off here."

Su Tianqing lightly turned around with her toes touching the ground and looked at the girl behind her.

The girl paused for a moment, then looked up at the somewhat old teachers' apartment building in front of her.

"Well... Sister Tianqing, you should get some rest. If you feel unwell, then..."

"I know, don't worry about me. You should go back and get some rest too."

The golden fox smiled gently, its smile still as bright as ever.

Then, Su Tianqing took two steps forward, leaned close to the girl's ear, and whispered:

"I promise I'll keep what happened today a secret for you."

"!!"

Lin Muyao trembled, and immediately understood what Su Tianqing was talking about.

—I am that pale yellow magical girl.

"Sister Tianqing...I..."

"Don't worry, it will definitely be kept a secret~"

"And Mu Yao, your voice is really beautiful."

"That's it! Let's go out and play together again next time~ Remember to sing for me, okay!"

After saying that, the golden fox turned and ran towards the stairwell, waving and talking as it went, before quickly disappearing around the corner of the stairwell.

After a long while, Lin Muyao waved blankly.

The girl tiptoed lightly, then slowly lowered her feet, pursed her lips, and smiled as she walked quickly toward the car parked at the entrance of the residential area.

Watching the car drive onto the main road and speed away, Su Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never imagined that I, this fox, would witness the birth of two magical girls..."

After muttering this to herself, Su Tianqing plopped down on the sofa, a strange sense of exhaustion washing over her.

A lot happened today.

In order to win over Lin Muyao's heart, she didn't hesitate to sacrifice her looks and act as a fox mother, and almost got punched against the wall by her teammate, Cat.

Fortunately, the cat didn't push the door too hard, and Lin Muyao managed to transform herself in the face of danger; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to return unharmed.

[Mission: Righteous Expansion Plan, Completed]

[Mission: The Secret of My Companion, Completed]

Completed!

The number of real magical girls has reached three! And today I even stopped Neko from initiating an excessive magic replenishment!

Su Tianqing couldn't wait to flip to the shop page of the secret manual.

Just as she was about to check out the newly unlocked Fox Magic gadgets, the golden fox suddenly remembered something.

I still have a task to complete.

[Quest: Replenish Mana]

[Replenishes mana to the Hellcat that is low on mana, 0/1]

[Reward: Hellcat Affection +1000]

Turning back to the task page, Su Tianqing was momentarily at a loss when she saw this task that could easily trigger the "black room" incident.

How exactly does this magic replenishment work...?

I haven't known the cat for very long, so if the method is too strange, I guess I still won't be able to accept it.

but……

Looking at the data on the intelligence page, Su Tianqing couldn't bear to just leave it unattended.

Hellcat

[Magic Reserves: 1%]

[My magic has completely dried up and urgently needs replenishment.]

Although she can't compare to Little Fish, she's still a cute catgirl. It would be nice to see her suffering from a lack of magic power...

"Ugh! Let's go check out the situation anyway!"

Su Tianqing held her head in her hands, humming in distress.

Decided!

If the cat replenishes her magic power in an acceptable way today, then I will grant her request to replenish her magic power!

But if strange methods occur during the mana replenishment process... as long as I communicate with her properly, there shouldn't be any problems!

Having made up her mind to awaken, Su Tianqing took out the Heart Moon Magic Wand, transformed into the Heart Moon Fox, activated the teleportation spell, and sent herself to the roof of a familiar office building.

As soon as she landed, Su Tianqing noticed the deep blue figure lying on the ground not far away.

"...!"

"A cat!?"

Su Tianqing rushed over and helped the catgirl up from the ground.

The catgirl's face was deathly pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was almost imperceptible, as if she were about to disappear.

Are you kidding me?! Are the consequences really that serious?!

"Kitty! Kitty, wake up! Kitty!!"

Su Tianqing patted the catgirl's shoulder forcefully, trying to wake her up.

The deep blue catgirl opened her eyes, her heterochromatic cat eyes looking at the golden fox who had helped her up. Suddenly, a few beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks, and she looked pained.

"Heart Moon Fox?...So it was you..."

"Back in the association's affiliated high school... thank you... thank you for covering for me..."

"Stop talking, your magic is completely depleted!"

Su Tianqing was a little anxious, afraid that the cat might faint from lack of breath.

The symptoms of mana depletion are too severe!

The cat girl smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Yeah, we haven't found a suitable mana replenisher lately. We were planning to go hunting for food today, but..."

Can you imagine the feeling of a hamburger that's about to be eaten suddenly jumping up and slapping you in the face?

Nan Jiayu really wanted to say that, but she no longer had the energy to complain.

"It's alright, don't worry about me. I just need to lie here... facing the starry sky for one night, and I can absorb a little bit of magic power..."

A brief silence.

Su Tianqing looked at the catgirl in front of her, took a deep breath, and said softly:

"...Cat, can you only replenish your magic power with ordinary girls?"

"Hmm?... Magical girls are fine too, or rather, magical girls' magic is of higher quality and more suitable."

"As long as she's a magical girl, it'll be fine."

"Um."

"So, what's your most common method for replenishing magic power?"

“…………”

Hellcat remained silent, looking at Heartmoon Fox in quiet contemplation.

The cat's heterochromatic eyes widened, but upon seeing Su Tianqing's determined gaze, a blush quickly rose on its face.

She considered a bad possibility.

"No... um, Fox, you... this is for replenishing magic..."

The catgirl gestured incoherently for a few moments, but her body was too weak to muster any strength due to the emptiness of her magic.

"I don't want to see anyone in pain, including you, Kitty."

Xin Yuehu said earnestly,

"If you need it, Kitty, just take my magic. I have plenty of it anyway."

"But...but, the way to replenish magic power...is...it's that..."

"What is it?"

“…………”

After struggling internally for a long time, the catgirl raised her head, beckoned to the golden fox with her finger, and gestured for her to come closer to listen.

Su Tianqing leaned down, listened to the whisper, and then her eyes widened in surprise.

The stars were shining brightly, and the moonlight was dazzling.

The Milky Way stretched across the entire sky, and the stars gazed at the dim rooftop, as if offering celebratory cheers.
