Chapter 73: I can't sleep because of the fox.
Chapter 73: I can't sleep because of the fox.
The white sable spirit anxiously circled in the air.
I can't figure it out myself.
Kokoro is clearly a villainous magical girl! Why can she use top-tier astral magic like the Mindscape?
Many magical girls never managed to use this magic from birth to retirement! Yet Kokoro so casually…
And she was also well aware of what would happen after entering the world of mental images:
That was a world completely "defined" by the creator. Xin Yuehu could instantly annihilate Xiao Feng and the other two with just a thought!
"Xiao Feng! You absolutely mustn't get into any trouble!"
Bai Ling could only pray to the starry sky.
But a magical buzzing sound in her ears jolted her awake.
"Ouch!"
"Huh?!"
Three magical girls appeared out of thin air and crashed to the ground, crying out in pain.
Not far away, Heart Moon Fox and Hellcat floated side by side in the air, looking down at the three people on the ground.
"That's all for today~ I've collected a lot of super interesting material, and you'll probably see a brand new video tomorrow~!"
"Bye-bye~ Hope to play with the three of you again tomorrow~"
The golden fox gave a charming smile, flicked its tail, activated a teleportation spell, and disappeared into the air at the same time as the hellcat.
...Just like that, they were released?
Bai Ling felt that she was increasingly unable to understand Xin Yuehu's logic.
Ugh! Never mind! Let's go check on the three of them first!
"Hyacinths! Irises! And nightingales! How are you all doing?"
"I... my words..."
The nightingale stood there blankly, unsure how to answer.
She was wearing a fluffy, pale yellow dress, completely different from the one she wore when she transformed into a magical girl; it was much more glamorous and elegant.
Even her hair was tied into two ponytails hanging down her back, and thoughtfully tied with two cat paw bows.
Bai Ling almost didn't recognize the dazzlingly beautiful girl in front of her.
"nightingale?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Why are you dressed like that? I remember your magical attire should be..."
"...That's a long story."
The man and the ferret turned to look at the two magical girls lying on the ground behind them.
The iris collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, utterly exhausted.
As for the hyacinth... it looked even more tragic than the iris. A pair of sky-blue shoes lay not far away, which seemed to belong to her.
Bai Ling had no choice but to silently pick up the shoes and put them on the immobile Hyacinth, saying as she did so:
"That Heart Moon Fox has mastered extremely powerful astral magic. You must be very careful in the future, lest you be enveloped by her mental world."
"The world of mental images? What is that?" Nightingale asked, puzzled.
"That space you were just pulled into is an alternate dimension created using astral magic; it's extremely dangerous!"
The nightingale turned and exchanged a glance with the iris, who had caught her breath, and nodded gently.
It is indeed very dangerous.
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, the hyacinth made a strange sound, attracting their attention.
"Hyacinth?" Iris, having recovered her spirits, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No...it's okay...I'm fine..."
Hyacinth quickly shook her head, tentatively stood up from the ground, covered in sweat, looking like she was enduring something.
Is this a side effect of what we just experienced in the mental world? The two wondered to themselves.
.
Later, on the rooftop of the office building.
The golden fox smiled happily and showed the cat the pair of sky-blue shoes in the hands of the massage familiar.
"How about that! Aren't I amazing, Fox?"
"I didn't expect you to be so convincing as to mistake me for the real thing."
Nan Jiayu sighed, shook her head with a wry smile.
I was right! That massage familiar was personally controlled by Fox!
No wonder the massage techniques in the mental world were so strange; it turns out someone was controlling it from behind!
But actually, it's quite good; it has the demeanor of a master craftsman. Nan Jiayu thought to herself.
The shoe in the familiar's hand was the one that truly came from Hyacinth. As for the other pair of shoes that fell not far from Hyacinth...
"These are familiar shoes imbued with slime magic."
The golden fox revealed a sly, wicked smile, which sent chills down the catgirl's spine.
The so-called familiar shoes—Fox had already shown me their shape and purpose:
Actually, it's a "slime familiar" that can mimic any pair of shoes.
Its limp shape is terrifying to look at; it's hard to imagine what kind of torture the hyacinth would endure—it's practically a torture device.
"And its effects don't stop there!"
Fox excitedly introduced her wonderful little familiar,
"If you wear it for 24 hours, not only will your skin become fair and smooth, but from then on, all other scents will be replaced by a fragrance like osmanthus!"
"How about it, kitty, do you want to try it?"
"Stop, please don't!" the catgirl quickly refused.
Nan Jiayu felt that she would never want to experience that feeling.
Even with its own detection magic, it couldn't tell the difference between real and fake. Hyacinth probably already puts on those mimicry shoes by now.
Thinking about the suffering someone would endure tomorrow, Nan Jiayu's gaze towards Xin Yuehu became even more subtle.
Fox, she always manages to do such completely villainous things without you even realizing it.
Nan Jiayu got up, stretched out her arms, and yawned.
"Mmm... Ugh..."
"That's enough for today. I'm a bit tired, so I should go back and rest."
After saying that, the catgirl transformed into a shrike and prepared to take off to go home.
Xin Yuehu's voice suddenly rang out from behind, calling out to him.
"Kitty, wait a minute!"
Hellcat turned around, and a golden figure stopped in front of it, looking up at it slightly.
"Hmm? Is there anything else you want to say?"
……
A few seconds later, the golden fox slowly lowered its tiptoes.
"Kitty, you must have used up a lot of magic today. Here's today's portion~"
Nan Jiayu stood there blankly, watching the little fox run back to the edge of the rooftop with a laugh and turn on the live stream camera. Only then did she reach out and pat her own cheeks in a daze.
Should we go back?
I might as well stay here and spend more time with her! Anyway, I'll just be watching live streams when I get back, so I might as well watch the real Fox!
Thinking this, Hellcat transformed back into her catgirl form and sat down next to the golden fox.
Su Tianqing immediately moved closer, squeezed her head in, and smiled and waved to the camera:
Good evening, everyone!
"The villainous fox and the villainous cat make their dazzling debut!"
...
Meanwhile, in Rongcheng Huatianli residential area.
Nan Xiaofeng lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
It's already 11 p.m., which is my usual bedtime.
However, the tingling and numbness in my feet showed no signs of disappearing.
It's so itchy it makes you want to scream.
Nan Xiaofeng lifted the blanket and peeked into the bed.
Then he frowned and pulled back down.
Damn it!! Heart Moon Fox!! That stinky fox!!
I'm going to beat her up next time we meet!
While feeling the strange sensation, Nan Xiaofeng silently picked up her phone, intending to watch some videos to distract herself.
[The streamer I follow has started broadcasting: Magical Girl Fox Official]
...Why are there Heart Moon Foxes everywhere?
Nan Xiaofeng mentally complained, but still inexplicably opened the live stream.
Just one last look! One last look!!
Another person in this world has been unable to sleep because of watching Fox.
