Chapter 142 Blue Owl X Little Red Riding Hood X Magical Girl Ash (Part 1)
Chapter 142 Blue Owl X Little Red Riding Hood X Magical Girl Ash (Part 1)
A second ago, Xiaohongmao had found the idea of swapping roles a bit eerie, but the next, she readily accepted the arrangement, thinking to herself that at home she's the younger sister, but outside, she'd take the role, like a fair bit of fortune-telling.
So, she spoke, "Yes, I'm her younger sister."
"Magical Girl Ash's real younger sister?"
Magical Girl Hong clasped her hands at her skirt, her eyes wide in surprise.
"Really?"
Magical Girl Feng rested her chin on her hand, her face equally astonished.
"I'm serious, could it even be fake? She is my real younger sister, so take good care of her, got it?"
Magical Girl Ash said, wrapping her arms around herself with an assertive tone, yet her expression slightly faltered, causing her to turn her face away and lower her head slightly.
"We definitely will," Hong quickly responded, clapping her hands and smiling, "After all, the senior has taken much care of us, we will definitely look after Xiaohongmao."
"Thank you."
Xiaohongmao said, expressionlessly.

Feng tilted her head slightly, eyeing both of them with amazement, "It's no wonder the senior is so talented, having sisters both being magic girls. They must be the chosen ones."
"It's not uncommon, sometimes it happens like this. Our grandmother is a magic girl too, she can make a magic healing medicine that cures all kinds of ills when taken."
Magical Girl Ash spoke, her face calm and her tone light, teasing.
Xiaohongmao, seeing that she had quickly caught onto the gag she crafted, coldly added, "Senior, you might as well say our grandmother is a wolf."
"A three-generation family of magic girls?" Feng was stunned, immensely shocked.
"No, no, no, my mom's not a magic girl," Ash paused, "She's a devastating she-demon, way stronger than both of us."
Xiaohongmao stayed silent, thinking that if you add an "alien" prefix before "devastating she-demon," you might actually accidentally get it right.
Hong laughed lightly, "Magical Girl Ash was just joking about Xiaohongmao and the wolf-grandmother thing, right? Not serious."
Feng caught on and scoffed, "So it was a joke."
"Ah, if only I had a magic girl in the family like me, I wouldn't dare tell my family about my own affairs," Hong murmured, holding her face in her hands, "Actually, I envy Xiaohongmao, having such an excellent and beautiful magic girl as a senior sister."
Hearing this, Xiaohongmao drooped her head, narrating pitifully.
"Actually, I'd rather not have such a situation. Senior takes advantage of being the older sister by constantly stealing my snacks and beating me up; I always end up eating her leftovers, and she makes me do all the chores every day."
Hong was struck speechless.
Feng was at a loss for words.
Both looked at Xiaohongmao's demeanor, thinking it didn't seem feigned, so they cast a peculiar glance toward Magical Girl Ash.
Ash seemed used to Xiaohongmao's drama queen traits and commented coolly, "Don't you have the wrong script? You're Xiaohongmao, not Cinderella."
Xiaohongmao said expressionlessly, "Oh, I'll change the story next time."
Hong chuckled softly, thinking to herself how harmonious the sisters were.
Feng rolled her eyes and asked, "So, what are we doing today, patrolling?"
"Not patrolling. Every time we fly around not finding any criminals, it's like being flies, plus we get gawked at and photographed by passersby. Better you two teach her card making?"
As she spoke, Magical Girl Ash's phone vibrated. She glanced down at her WeChat; it was a message from Xizi Yue.
[Xizi Yue: I spotted a group of people in the Hongge Commercial Street acting weirdly, smashing things around. You guys should check it out.]
[Ash: Are there any superhumans among those people?]
Xiaohongmao watched the scene, murmuring, "I get it. Important people are added on WeChat, unimportant ones on QQ."
"Are you a primary school student or what? I'll just add you on WeChat."
Ash glanced down at her phone and, without looking up, gently tapped Xiaohongmao's forehead, comforting her like a child.
"I don't have WeChat."
"Then what are you talking about, get lost."
[Xizi Yue: Not sure, but take your junior to check it out anyway. If you can't handle it, just run, and wait for that big crow to arrive since his holiday's over.]
[Ash: And what about you, Master?]
[Xizi Yue: Sleeping.]
[Ash: Master, having you is truly a blessing for the Alliance.]
After finishing the message, Ash tucked the phone into the magic book, which she slid inside her Cinderella interior, then spoke up, "Seems like something's up in Hongge Commercial Street. Let's go have a look."
Hong and Feng's expressions changed.
"Is the opponent strong?" Feng asked.
"Not sure, if they really are strong, you guys just watch from behind, I can go up alone."
As she spoke, Ash stretched open Cinderella's umbrella canopy, its intricate patterns enveloping the umbrella like intertwined thorns. With the infusion of magic power, they seemed to come to life, all the flowers flaunting themselves simultaneously.
As Ash walked towards the corridor, she spread ripples of magic power from the umbrella, about to float into the sky, when Xiaohongmao suddenly said, "Sister, take me with you."
"Can't you fly on your own?"
Magical Girl Ash turned her head, glared at her irritably, and then took her hand, both being carried into the sky by Cinderella.
As they flew toward Hong Ge Commercial District, the two Magic Girls in the classroom also raised their magic wands, injecting magic power into the gems in their wands and soon levitated.
They struggled to follow behind Ash, thinking to themselves how much the senior cherished her sister, seeing for the first time that their senior took someone flying.
......
......
Moments later, Huanjing, Hong Ge Commercial District.
Xiaohongmao's Christmas dress fluttered in the wind, its hem swaying like colorful flowers. She gazed down at the street from above.
The scene on Hong Ge Commercial Street was chaotic, with emergency broadcasts echoing in the square, but they used the traditional emergency announcement instead of the classic markers of superhuman crime.
This meant that among those causing trouble, there seemed to be no superhumans.
At that moment, a nearly hundred-strong crowd was parading with hockey sticks, shouting slogans mechanically.
"Those demons that dare not see sunlight, those slaves dominated by the desire for blood, we are here, we are here, we are here, we are the eternal saints, and also the impure hunters…"
The overwhelming sound echoed on the street, drowning out the emergency broadcast.
They seemed to be controlled by some bizarre entity, their eyes hollow yet profound, muttering the same phrases. Some held hockey sticks, some held wrenches, and some held chainsaws, almost everyone clutching a weapon.
Drivers who had driven to Hong Ge Commercial Street didn't have time to turn around and were blocked together, having to abandon their cars and flee.
The crazed crowd stomped over trendy cars as they swept through the street, wielding hockey sticks causing widespread destruction; some smashed the electronic signs of shops, others damaged car windows, and some even smashed fashion billboards.
The loud slogans were mixed with the piercing sounds of shattering glass and sparking electronics. Someone even used a chainsaw to smash an electric pole, which crashed to the ground with a deafening roar.
Just as everyone was screaming and scattering, a figure went against the flow, standing at the center of the crossroads, slowly blocking the advancing crowd.
From a distance, the person was dressed like a red-and-blue human-sized owl: a helmet with a protruding beak at the center, a battle suit interwoven in red and blue colors, eyes behind the lenses mocking yet clear.
Magical Girl Hong hovered midair, staring at the figure, puzzled, "Who is that?"
Feng raised her eyebrows, then said, "Ah! I know him, Blue Owl."
Rainbow turned to look at her, "Blue Owl?"
Feng nodded, her face flushing, "That video from Weibo that was super popular, didn't you see it? I think he is quite handsome."
"Haven't seen it. I've been focused on studying these days, spent my free time in tutoring and piano classes," Rainbow shook her head.
"He is really interesting, remember to check out that video on Weibo in a couple of days," Magical Girl Feng said excitedly, as if she had succeeded as a fan.
Xiaohongmao stared at the Blue Owl, expressionless, "Handsome? Am I the only one who thinks his outfit is ugly?"
Magical Girl Ash, gaze lowered, one hand holding Xiaohongmao, the other holding Cinderella high, looked down at Blue Owl from above.
She disdainfully remarked, "Isn't he that pathetic superhero who puts on an act and asks for a beating, what's there to pay attention to?"
She had actually been indifferent toward such superheroes; weak though they were, they had helped quite a few people;
but this idiot called Blue Owl had to mimic that annoying Crow Man's style, which inevitably made her dislike him, driven by a hatred of everything associated with that figure!
"But he is cool, isn't he?" Feng pouted, discontentedly saying, "Senior, you don't even know him, could you not decide he's a bad person without knowing him?"
Xiaohongmao spoke for Ash in response to Feng, "But you don't know him either, do you?"
Hearing this, Magical Girl Ash's lips curved slightly, thinking to herself, Nice, raising you, little sister, has its uses after all, even helping your sister argue.
Magical Girl Hong, watching the three of them not focusing on the task, chuckled awkwardly, "I say, let's get the job done and save the chitchat for later, he seems to be struggling on his own."
At the crossroads, Blue Owl was walking alone toward the nearly hundred-strong marching troop.
His steps were slow yet fearless.
As a deep blue arc flashed from the corner of his eyes, his figure suddenly accelerated, rushing into the crowd like a red-and-blue lightning bolt, instantly disarming the one leading them.
Then, the surging crowd roared like zombies, rushing toward Blue Owl, like a tidal wave. Even during the battle, they continued chanting their eerie slogans.
"Stop watching, it's time to act, Senior," Xiaohongmao turned and reminded Magical Girl Ash.
She thought to herself, Sister, if you don't act now, I'm going to be mauled to death by those zombies, save Blue Owl, Help, Help!
