Chapter 149: Why did it come so quickly?
Chapter 149: Why did it come so quickly?
Su Tianqing went to great lengths to create a transformation scene for Miss Iris that could accommodate the shadows of the stars.
First, I used up one of the Secret Shop's exchange attempts, then I set an ambush to trap Hyacinth, and then I had no choice but to take action against Nightingale, whom I had personally trained.
They even had to appease the villainous teammates, so that they could have some fun and not get bored.
"I even had to travel thousands of miles using teleportation magic to come to this mountain city, just to find a Razor Freak who is extremely rare in the world..."
"Tsk tsk, if there were a villainous organization, they would definitely have to give this fox an award for outstanding individual of the year."
Su Tianqing muttered to herself, then looked up at the Black Wolf Witch who was wrestling with the Razor Man.
This is the entrance to a shopping mall in a mountain city.
I used teleportation magic to come here and wait for the Razor Man to emerge from the sewers and attack the mall.
Then I cosplayed as a righteous magical girl.
【The Empty Monster Capsule】, Su Tianqing looked down at the small object in her hand.
This is an item I bought yesterday from the hidden shop page of the Secret Codex. Although I forgot to describe it, it is actually a fairly cheap bargain.
The kind of cheap consumable that costs a total of 100 Divine Stones for 10 empty capsules.
The tome says it can imprison unfamiliar wild monsters, and then you can use summoning magic to summon them in bulk—is it a kind of alternative Pokédex collection? Su Tianqing thought to herself.
"Click-clack click-clack..."
"Crack! Boom!!"
The Razor Monster's blade whistled as it swung down through the air, but the Sirius Witch caught the enormous razor steadily and, with a backhand slap, knocked the monster, who was several times her size, to the ground!
After the explosion, the monster collapsed to the ground, held firmly by Sirius and unable to move.
The surrounding area was filled with people who hadn't had time to evacuate. Upon seeing the strange man being subdued, they immediately cheered and shouted, even yelling things like, "Fox, I like you so much!"
Su Tianqing felt a little strange, but upon hearing the fans' shouts, she still politely smiled and waved in the direction of the calls.
Look at this popularity! Even in this mountain city, I have wild fans!
The atmosphere finally calmed down after the golden fox put the razor monster into the monster capsule.
The magical trails in the sky also caught Su Tianqing's attention.
The orange-clad girl who was leading the group stopped in mid-air, looked around but didn't see any trace of the strange man. Instead, she saw the golden-haired fox looking up at the sky.
The little fox wagged its tail and waved to the girl in the air.
"Hmm? You are... Heart Moon Fox?"
Qiu Gui said in confusion, not daring to go down immediately.
I'd heard that Xin Yuehu was a villainous magical girl active in Rongcheng, but I never expected her to appear in Shancheng. Was she just passing through for a visit? But winter break is still a while away... could it be...?
Good evening, Miss Qiugui.
Su Tianqing smiled and greeted the orange-clad magical girl.
Qiu Gui hesitated to respond for a moment, but after glancing at her younger companions who had rushed over behind her, she mustered her courage and returned the greeting to Xin Yuehu.
"Good evening, Miss Xinyuehu. Weren't you in Rongcheng? What brings you here all of a sudden...?"
"Because a very rare and strange person has appeared in the mountain town, I, Fox, have come here specifically to collect information about him."
"Ah, it's so late already. Goodbye, Ms. Akiho~ We'll meet again sometime if we have the chance~"
Before Qiu Gui could react, Xin Yuehu flicked her tail and vanished without a trace.
Qiu Gui stood there blankly for a long time until her companion nudged her from behind, which brought her back to her senses.
"Qiugui? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly stunned?"
"Huh? No, it's nothing, I was just a little curious."
"Is it because of that child, Xin Yuehu?"
Another companion chimed in,
"Xin Yuehu is quite cute."
"She calls herself a villain, you know, if you insist on saying that..."
"But she also protected the citizens just now, didn't she?"
Qiu Gui was speechless, silently looking at the fierce battle marks on the ground, her feelings complicated.
...That little fox really does seem quite cute.
……
[Mission Complete: Reserves of Eccentric Individuals]
[Reward: 500 Divine Stones, Unlocks Monster Types]
finished!
In the evening, the golden fox leaned against the headboard, flipping through the secret manual in its hands, wagging its tail excitedly.
A new type of monster! The Razor Monster!
According to the records I found on the Hero Association's backend server, this monster has only appeared a handful of times, but without exception, each time it caused considerable casualties and destruction.
Even today, if I hadn't been lying in wait beforehand, the damage caused by this strange wild man would have been considerable.
"Is it because this guy is so powerful? I don't really feel anything."
While flipping through the updated introduction page in the Monster Encyclopedia, Su Tianqing pondered.
Because its body is covered in razors, its destructive power is similar to that of the Black Wolf Monster, but its speed, strength, and resilience are completely outclassed. If the two of them were to fight one-on-one, it would definitely not be a match for the Black Wolf.
In summary, it can only be considered a Tier 2 player in my hands, not a main force.
But for Iris, the Razor Man might touch upon a hidden memory deep within her heart, which could potentially help her awaken the Shadow of the Stars.
In this way, all the prerequisite tasks for the iris flower are completed.
"Anyway, let's adjust this Razor Fiend's setup today, and then figure out a solution..."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone rang suddenly beside his pillow.
Su Tianqing tilted her head in confusion.
It's already 10:30, who could be calling me? It can't be Xiaoyu, can it?
The golden fox picked up the phone and stared intently at the contact person displayed on the screen.
Contact person: Hua Ling.
What? Karin?
Su Tianqing was startled and quickly answered the phone.
"Hey, Karin-chan, what's up so late?"
Su Tianqing tentatively said.
But there was a long silence on the other end of the phone before the girl's soft voice finally came through:
"Sister Tianqing... I'm sorry to call you so late... Did I disturb your rest?"
"It's alright, I'm not asleep yet. Did Hana-rin need something?"
“…………”
Another long silence followed.
The girl on the other end of the phone seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally speaking softly:
"Sister Tianqing, can we talk?"
"Of course! Shall we chat over the phone? Or perhaps via video call?"
"...I'm right at the entrance of Rongcheng Medical College, Sister Tianqing."
Su Tianqing was suddenly stunned.
The golden fox practically jumped out of bed and ran to the living room window, looking out at the medical school gate not far away.
On a deserted street late at night, a haggard-looking young girl stood out starkly.
——Flower Bell.
