Chapter 131 The Magic Girl's Card Library
Outside the window, a drizzling rain was falling; inside the ancient classroom, only three magical girls remained.
Following Qing Ya's departure, Magical Girl Ash "swooshed" to her feet from the wooden chair.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She crossed her arms and stamped her feet furiously, her bright, jet-black hair swaying slightly.
Then she took a deep breath and said, "This is so infuriating, Master. What exactly is your relationship with that terrifying upright crow?!"
"He's a fan of mine," she said.
Xizi Yue was flipping through this month's "Jump Youth Weekly," responding nonchalantly.
Xiaohongmao had just taken a sip of boiled water and couldn't help coughing twice, almost spraying it out.
She thought, 'Master Xizi Yue, are you turning the heavens upside down? An old man at your age being a fan of a magical girl—I might as well stand on my head and eat noodles!'
Ash was stunned for a moment, her mouth gaping open in an 'O' shape, thinking, 'You bushy-eyed crow man, are you also a secret enthusiast?'
"Really for real?" she asked.
"Fake." Xizi Yue said, yawning, "Well, it's time to break up. I'm going home for a beauty sleep. You take Xiaohongmao to the Alliance Building's card library to pick some basic cards."
Magical Girl Ash, with her arms crossed, tilted her head and asked, "What about making the cards?"
Xizi Yue lowered her eyelids and said slowly, "No rush, we'll teach her how to make cards in a few days. Anyway, Xiaohongmao is already as strong as you are without the cards."
Xiaohongmao said, "No, I need to learn how to make cards."
She thought, 'Why do you think I joined the Alliance? It's because I didn't know how to refine cards. I was afraid I'd accidentally blow up a Deception Puppet while trying.'
"I will teach you, so about what I said earlier, have you considered it? Do you want to stay with me in New York for a couple of days?" Xizi Yue said, lifting her eyes slightly to look at her.
She tilted her head, her perfectly cut sharp short hair draping over her shoulders, her pale blue cheongsam graceful and elegant. Discover hidden content at empire
"No need," Xiaohongmao shook her head.
A Deception Puppet's maximum lifespan is six hours, and a half-day trip with Xizi Yue would cause it to explode. Besides, staying too long in front of powerful magical figures like Lilai and Udina, the risk of exposure was too great.
Naturally, she couldn't accept the invitation.
"Is that so? Well, goodbye then."
Xizi Yue said indifferently, packed her comic book, and waved her hand.
"Goodbye, Senior Xizi Yue."
Xiaohongmao waved to her too.
Xizi Yue stood up, walked lazily toward the classroom door, and soon after, with a loud rumbling of an engine, she boarded a dark green train. Amid the sounds of beeping horns, she left the corridor.
"She really is such a casual person," Xiaohongmao remarked, "treating S-level cards like high-speed trains."
"Right? I told you, my Master is like that," Ash paused, "and she really likes you. It's the first time I've seen her invite someone new to hang out."
"Really?"
Xiaohongmao scratched her cheek, sweating nervously, thinking 'Could I really be a magic girl with an innate sacred body?'
"Forget it, let's go, let's head to the Alliance Building and see," Ash said.
Xiaohongmao lifted her magic wand, "Last time you sent me, this time I'll send..." She was speaking when Ash had already grabbed her hand and walked towards the window, opening an umbrella.
The umbrella unfolded ripples, and the two stepped onto the windowsill, flying upwards through the rain-soaked rainbow, heading towards the Rainbow Light Commercial District in the heart of Huanjing.
The official building of the Magical Girl Alliance was located there.
Soon, they arrived at the Rainbow Light Commercial District and walked towards the Alliance Building amidst the exclamations of passersby.
Xiaohongmao looked up and saw that the exterior of the Alliance Building wasn't much different from a normal building, except for a "magic girl with crossed arms holding a wand" emblem at the first-floor entrance.
Moreover, compared to the Superhero Association Building, the scale and volume of the Alliance Building were much smaller, reflecting the budget differences between the two.
Looking up higher, one could see an LED display embedded in the facade of the building, extravagantly large, currently showing a cosmetics advertisement featuring Xizi Yue and Lilai.
In the advertisement set against a beach backdrop, Lilai was lifting her silvery hair, gaze downcast towards Xizi Yue in her arms, raising a pale finger to apply some skin cream on her.
Xizi Yue, on the other hand, was lying in her arms, enjoying it while reading a comic book.
It had to be said, this UK magical girl powerhouse—Magic Girl Lilai really looked like she was in it reluctantly.
As a world-renowned magic girl known as the "Ice Witch," she certainly didn't lack money, and the situation at the UK branch wasn't as dire as China's, needing Xizi Yue to tirelessly promote.
So her appearance in a cosmetics advertisement was likely only because Xizi Yue had asked her to come over.
So it turned out this role model from the China division, wasn't content with just appearing in advertisements alone; she had to drag her teammate along to share the misery, incidentally marketing the 'top three magic girls' trio, stimulating fans' consumption enthusiasm.
"What are you spacing out for? Let's go,"
Magical Girl Ash said as she waved her hand in front of Xiaohongmao.
Behind them, people in the Rainbow Light Commercial District were snapping photos with their phones, flashlights flashing continuously.
In the crowd, a pair who looked like they had just come from a comic con, still dressed in magical girl cosplay costumes, were shouting things like "Ash is so cute," "Ash baby, I'm your fan," and "Ash wife, I am your dog."
"She looks much prettier in person than in the videos!"
"That magic girl dressed like Santa Claus is so cute too, but I've never seen her before, is she new?"
