HCB Chapter 90 Hyacinth Conquest Plan, Final Stage!
Chapter 90 Hyacinth Conquest Plan, Final Stage!
"What? The Guardian Star is lost?"
The next day, Hua Ling stood in front of Bai Ling and Nan Xiaofeng, bowing her head and admitting her mistake.
"I was being followed last night, and I think I accidentally let someone take my phone when I reached for it to call the police..."
"Following you? Karin, are you alright?"
Nan Xiaofeng didn't care at all about the lost Guardian Star and asked Hua Ling with concern.
It's nine o'clock in the morning. The two met at a nearby park early in the morning and went straight to the point about what happened last night.
Hearing Nan Xiaofeng's words, Hua Ling shook her head.
"I wasn't injured, but I was a little scared when I was being followed, but luckily the security guard helped me."
"I'm glad you're alright." Nan Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned his gaze to Bai Ling, who had been deep in thought.
"Bai Ling, is the loss of the Guardian Star... a serious matter?"
"It's not serious. I heard from the senior stargazers that magical girls often experienced this kind of accident in the past, so I prepared a lot of supplies."
After saying that, Bai Ling turned around, opened her magic space, took out a brand new Guardian Star, and handed it to the dumbfounded Hua Ling.
"Here comes the new guardian star."
"...So there are a lot of these things?" Hana asked in confusion.
Bai Ling nodded.
"certainly."
"If it gets lost... what bad things might happen?"
"In most cases, no," Bai Ling said confidently, patting her chest.
"Although magical girls need a guardian star to transform, not everyone who obtains a guardian star can become a magical girl."
"Just like you and Mu Yao, you two didn't succeed when you first tried to transform, did you? You need to get Fanxing's approval first."
"For those who cannot use it, the Guardian Star is no different from an ordinary metal toy."
"Is that so..."
Hua Ling seemed to understand but not quite, and nodded gently.
But then she suddenly thought of someone, looked up at Bai Ling, and asked:
"What about Heart Moon Fox? She can use astral magic, so is she also recognized by the stars?"
"..."
Bai Ling fell silent.
After a long while, the stargazer finally sighed, shrugged, and shook his head.
"Sigh... I hate to admit it, but that's what I found out from my investigation in the astral plane a while ago."
"The older generation explained it this way: 'As long as someone can freely draw magic from the astral plane and use astral magic, then she must have received the blessings of the stars.'"
"In other words, Heart Moon Fox is essentially the same as you, a magical girl who uses astral magic, except that she is the villain."
Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling exchanged a glance, clearly finding the topic beyond their comprehension and completely baffled.
……
Meanwhile, near Rongcheng Medical College, in the teachers' apartments.
The alarm clock rang in the dimly lit bedroom. A small hand reached out from under the covers and slapped the clock to stop.
Her fluffy ears twitched twice, and the petite girl sat up from under the covers, stretched her arms, and yawned, making indistinct moaning sounds.
"Hmm—~"
"I've had a good night's sleep! Today I'm full of energy, Fox!"
The villainous fox happily jumped off the bed, turned around to tidy the sheets and blankets, and drew back the curtains to greet Sunday morning.
It's as refreshing as putting on brand new cat paw panties on a Sunday morning!
Next, I summoned a sweeping familiar to clean the floor, and then summoned a laundry familiar to carry the clothes I took off yesterday into the bathroom.
Finally, the kitchen demon fries two slices of bacon and toasts two slices of bread, while you simply sit at the table and elegantly begin your meal.
The villainous fox's life is so pleasant and elegant.
"Ugh... Mmm~ This bacon is pretty good!"
After taking a bite of the bacon and egg roll, Su Tianqing cupped her cheek and let out a happy sound.
While happily wagging her tail and eating breakfast, Su Tianqing checked today's secret manual mission.
Secret Manual! This fox commands you to issue the "Play it dumb" task today as well!
[Daily Task 1: Spending time alone with hyacinths]
[Complete a one-on-one conversation with Hyacinth to learn about her past]
[Reward: 500 Divine Stones]
[PS: Slack off? Dream on! Get to work today!]
Even the secret manual couldn't resist making a sarcastic comment.
"Oh, come on to work, don't be so fierce."
Fox admitted defeat, muttered something under her breath, and looked at the refreshed tasks on the second page.
[Mission: Rookie Magical Girl?]
[Investigating the Newly Emerging Magical Girl]
[Reward: 1000 Divine Stones, New Quest Chain]
Su Tianqing's action of eating the bacon omelet suddenly froze.
The golden fox rubbed its eyes, unable to believe what it was seeing.
New magical girl? ?
What? A newcomer? Where did this newcomer come from?
After quickly finishing her breakfast, Fox Fox directed the kitchen familiar to wash the dishes and pots. She then sat down on the sofa and began to carefully peruse the secret manual.
I repeatedly checked that the secret manual didn't have any strange bugs, and then I repeatedly checked that I hadn't recently participated in any strange magical girl recruitment HR activities.
Finally, Su Tianqing came to a conclusion:
"It must be that stargazer's fault!"
Fox said with certainty.
I never expected this. I had only been focusing on hyacinths for a few days when the Stargazer gave me such a big surprise.
But things are probably not that simple.
Su Tianqing silently flipped through the information page and stared intently at the list of magical girls and suitable candidates.
Hyacinth, iris, nightingale.
The information of the three individuals was clearly listed, and no new candidates were observed.
What's going on? Wasn't there supposed to be a new magical girl? Where is she?
After flipping through the pages, no new name appeared. Confused, the golden fox tugged at its own tail.
Could the secret manual have given false information? But that shouldn't be the case; the mission has already been issued. Why would it be like this?
Before she could finish her thought, Su Tianqing's gaze fell on the second page.
[List of Villainous Magical Girls]
Hellcat (Hell Shrike)
[Magic Reserves: 95%]
Originally, there was only one person on this list, but several lines of unfamiliar text suddenly appeared below:
【? ? ? 】
The magical girl whose codename has not yet been confirmed.
[Magic Reserves: 3%]
What? The villain?
How did I suddenly get a companion?
Looking at her remaining 3% magic power reserve, Su Tianqing felt a headache coming on.
This is bad, very bad.
If it's just the cat replenishing its magic, I can accept some intimate gestures, but if there's another one...
This fox is a pure-hearted fox, and absolutely cannot accept this kind of casual relationship!
...Or how about we use the method the cat suggested, like licking the neck with a finger in its mouth or something?
It just feels more embarrassing.
"But this is really bad no matter what!" Su Tianqing cried out, clutching her head in her hands.
Even setting aside the issue of mana replenishment, hasn't the delicate balance between the protagonists and antagonists been completely shattered?
Before Hyacinth gains her new powers, Cat can easily subdue her by herself, and still have time to control Iris or Nightingale.
The monsters I summon can reliably hold off one person, and besides, my true form isn't entirely without combat power; a teleportation spell followed by a stun spell can take down Iris.
But what if there were one more villain...?
"...Anyway, let's get today's tasks done first!"
Su Tianqing decided to put this task aside for the time being and focus her attention on the hyacinth.
Today, I must seize this opportunity to be alone and get the hyacinths completely sorted out!
