Chapter 264 Fox's Little Tip
Chapter 264 Fox's Little Tip
"Ding ding dong~"
"Good evening, fans of Hong Kong! I'm here to present a special program for you all—Magical Girl☆Kokoro no Kokoro~"
Later that evening, the live stream of 【Magical Girl Fox Official】started as usual, with the golden fox girl on the screen waving lively at the camera and smiling broadly.
"Here I am!" "I'm number one!" "Fox is here so early today!"
The barrage of comments immediately started flooding in, with a few SC messages appearing sporadically, which Su Tianqing replied to one by one with great professionalism.
"Thank you everyone for your support~ I've been very punctual lately~"
"By the way, has anyone been watching my new video lately? It's a super awesome Hong Kong police thriller! I'm extremely satisfied with the editing and camera work."
"Ah, thank you for the comment 【Fox is so cute, let Mom hug me】~ Yes, Fox has been working on editing a police action movie lately~"
Seeing the familiar ID and message pop up in the upper right corner, Su Tianqing immediately replied with a smile.
"Speaking of which, everyone has seen how amazing Hyacinth and the others have been lately, right?"
"Miss Hyacinth is quite persistent, chasing after Fox from Guangzhou to Hong Kong. Do you enjoy playing with Fox? Or... are you simply trying to stop Fox from me?"
"It's okay! I'll continue visiting the port city's attractions as planned tomorrow. Please evacuate quickly when you receive the notification. I don't want to see anyone get hurt!"
The atmosphere in the live stream was very harmonious, and the appearance of the newcomer, Little Gray Wolf, made the live stream even more lively than usual.
.
But on the other side, at the Hero Association headquarters, a spectacular drama is unfolding between magical girls:
"Let's begin today's meeting."
Aquamarine sat at the head of the conference room, while Cobra, an S-class hero appointed by the association, sat in the audience, calmly listening to the magical girls' meeting discussion.
"Just like yesterday, Miss Hyacinth, could you please explain the situation?"
"Actually, there's nothing special to explain; the overall process is pretty much the same as last time."
"When we arrived at the scene and dismantled the barrier, we were surrounded by Hellcat and Cheshire Rabbit, and a firefight broke out. We were then suppressed by them."
Hyacinth appeared calm, but anyone could see the weariness in her eyes.
Everyone remained silent, then Mai Sui spoke up:
"I also have some new information to add."
"We removed two additional barriers today, but according to the association's report, Xin Yuehu also entered the site afterward, as if searching for something."
"Mr. Cobra, your report should also reflect this."
All eyes then fell on the S-class heroes in the audience.
The cobra was slightly surprised.
He had only intended to listen in on the children's discussion on a whim—at his age, the magical girls could indeed only be considered children—but he never expected to have a say in the conversation.
"...Then let me talk about the field reports I received today."
The middle-aged hero pushed up his glasses.
"According to the field staff's report, they entered the local scenic spot half an hour after the Wheat Ear Squad evacuated the crowd and successfully dismantled the barrier, but they encountered the leisurely Heart Moon Fox inside the scenic spot."
"The report states that Kokoro did not show any hostility and even warmly invited the staff to help with the search, and sent her familiars to assist in cleaning up and surveying the scene."
"With Xin Yuehu's assistance, the field staff checked all the potential hazards on site in just five minutes, but they did not find what Xin Yuehu was looking for. She must have found it herself."
After a brief pause, Cobra continued:
"Another interesting phenomenon is that Xin Yuehu knows everything about the process of the Wheat Ear Squad dismantling the barrier, and can even point out some details that the Wheat Ear Squad overlooked."
Everyone fell silent.
"...In other words, our movements on both sides have been exposed simultaneously."
The iris murmured, speaking frankly.
"According to our pre-agreed rules of conduct, neither of us knows the other's movements. Theoretically, it is impossible for Xin Yuehu to know the movements of both sides at the same time through a familiar disguised as a mole."
"There are two possibilities—first, the mole is someone who knows my whereabouts on both sides."
"But I didn't tell anyone where yesterday's operation took place, except..."
Hyacinth asked in confusion, turning her gaze to the white ferret sprite floating not far away, secretly eating the meeting snacks.
"...Except for Bai Ling."
"Huh?...Hmm hmm hmm? Cough cough cough cough! Cough...Why are you all looking at me like that? You don't suspect I'm the mole, do you?!"
The white ferret was startled and almost choked on the biscuit. It turned its head to look while drinking water.
"It's not that I doubt you, but if Bai Ling, you really are the mole that Xin Yuehu replaced with a familiar, then Xin Yuehu's strength is far beyond our imagination."
Hyacinth shrugged and said.
That's right. The Stargazers are astral beings directly appointed by the Astral Plane. Bai Ling even has her own property and residence in the Astral Plane, and her magical characteristics are completely different from those of creatures or familiars in the mortal world!
You could say anyone is a suspect, even yourself, but Bai Ling is the one who absolutely cannot be the mole.
"That's right, no matter how powerful Kokoro is, she absolutely cannot use a familiar to simulate a stargazer!"
The white ferret spirit confidently puffed out its fluffy, flat chest, and glanced at the fox spirit beside it who was stroking its chin in deep thought.
"Xiaoyue, you're right, aren't you, Xiaoyue?"
"Hmm? Ah, Senior Bai Ling, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something."
The fox spirit realized what was happening and gave an awkward laugh.
"I'm thinking... Xin Yuehu has always been very honest in her statements. If we rule out the possibility that she lied, cheated, or used magic this time, is there such a possibility?"
Upon hearing the fox spirit's seemingly plausible prediction, everyone looked on with anticipation.
"For example? What exactly is it, Miss Xiaoyue?" Mai Sui asked very politely.
"You see, since Xin Yuehu can use a familiar to infiltrate our ranks and disguise herself as a traitor, is it possible that she could give that familiar some other abilities?"
"After all, the rules only prohibit magical girls from using magic, and neither Bai Ling nor I have been affected."
"If that's the case..."
Everyone looked at each other, and Iris was the first to show an expression of understanding, saying to the fox spirit:
"Xiaoyue, do you mean that Xinyuehu might have imbued her familiar with other magical abilities, but we just haven't noticed it yet?"
"This is just a guess of mine, let's all share our opinions."
The tense atmosphere of the meeting eased considerably in an instant, and everyone immediately began to check their own condition, carefully examining any remaining traces of magic.
The white sable spirit breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew... I thought they were going to start arguing. Thanks to you, Xiaoyue, you're my savior!"
"It's just a small help~"
The fox spirit smiled sweetly, which made the white weasel spirit chuckle foolishly.
