The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 618 Forehand and Backhand Instructions

Magical girls, girls who protect the city and its inhabitants.

They possess youthful and beautiful appearances, gorgeous and elegant attire, and the blessings of the stars in the high heavens—using the power bestowed by the guardian stars to defeat monsters, save residents, and protect countless cities.

...But in a place unseen by the stars, against the dark backdrop of the astral plane, an unclaimed guardian star bestowed the same magical power upon another group of girls:

They unexpectedly found the Guardian Star, but did not gain the stars' approval. Nevertheless, they were able to transform into magical girls and carry out their own determination through their extraordinary talents and unwavering beliefs.

Stargazers call the magical girls who transform from unclaimed guardian stars "Nebula," referring to astral cloud clusters that have not yet formed into shining stars, but they have a simpler and easier-to-understand name among the general public—

Villainous Magical Girl

"In other words, there isn't actually much difference between ordinary magical girls and us..."

In the heart of Chengdu, on a specially cleared fighting arena, the golden-haired fox stood in the center, grinning.

She gazed at the two beautiful young women opposite her on the stage, unable to hide the rising joy in her heart, and couldn't help but reveal a villainous smile on her face.

Although the smile might seem pretty to others, to the two people opposite, it was not much different from the smile of a hellish demon.

It's even more terrifying than evil spirits.

"What do you think, Miss Bai Lili?"

“…………”

The pristine white magical girl remained silent, her expression shifting between light and shadow. Her gaze was fixed on the golden-haired fox girl in the center of the arena, yet she couldn't help but look past her small figure to a slightly unfamiliar one on the other side of the stage:

The first one is a pink bunny girl sitting upright in the contestant's seat, wearing a beautiful pink girl's dress. Beside her is a long-handled hammer with the hammerhead pointing downwards. The hammerhead is decorated with the shape of the guardian star, and there is an adorable bunny badge on the side.

However, her demeanor subtly changed when Bai Lili was watching her, especially when the spotlight shone on her; her entire demeanor quickly became strange...

From three-dimensional to two-dimensional, from realism to futurism, from fairy tale fantasy to modern abstraction, and finally to an abstract rabbit girl sitting trembling in the contestants' seat.

"...Let me confirm first, is that Meng Donghua over there?" Bai Lili said.

"That's right, Miss Bai Lili actually knows Meng Donghua. I thought you would be unfamiliar with this newcomer from the northern border city."

Xin Yuehu nodded, slightly surprised.

"Although she is indeed a bit unfamiliar, I have seen her name on the list of newcomers, so it feels okay." Bai Lili nodded.

Then the iris beside her tugged at her sleeve and whispered:

"Um... Senior Bai Lili, it seems like we can still back out now..."

"How could I possibly back out! We went through so much trouble to snatch this Level 4 Easter Egg quest from Red Rose, running away at the last minute isn't my style!"

The pure white-clad girl holding a long staff said this.

The Magical Girl Princess hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to abandon her senior and run away. But after seeing the expression on Kokoro's face that seemed to say, "Are you sure you don't want it? I'll give the tickets to someone else~", she still didn't abandon her senior.

Xin Yuehu's smile grew even brighter.

"Oh my, Miss Bai Lili seems quite confident today. Does she think Miss Meng Donghua is a newcomer and is planning to easily win her over?"

"How is that possible!"

Bai Lili said confidently, head held high.

"I would never bully a junior! And I will never tolerate your despicable act of mentally manipulating a newcomer!"

A brief silence fell over the arena after these words were spoken.

Alice and Jack, who were holding up their light sticks on the sidelines, stopped their cheering. Even Iris couldn't help but turn to look at her confident senior.

Seeing the delicate situation around her, Bai Lili's vigorous spirit suddenly wilted, and she asked with considerable curiosity:

"Why is everyone looking at me like that... Isn't it true that Xin Yuehu has mind control magic?"

Meng Donghua was covered in cold sweat, not daring to breathe or utter a sound to refute Bai Lili, remaining motionless in her abstract pose.

"I think Xin Yuehu most likely didn't use that spell... Senior, you might not know this, but Meng Donghua and Cheshire Rabbit used to play together a lot back in Snow City, so..."

Iris smiled wryly and explained to her senior.

Bai Lili's expression went from confusion to bewilderment, then to a brief moment of contemplation, and finally, she clenched her fists and palms together in sudden realization.

"I see, I understand completely now!"

"So, Miss Meng Donghua is actually undergoing advanced training with Xin Yuehu right now. This must be the Hero Association's arrangement, but why would they have them train Meng Donghua? That mysterious BOSS is just too hard to understand."

Even Su Tianqing couldn't help but feel a little resentful, as if she could understand why the cat's tolerance for Bai Lili had become so low before.

She can be quite difficult to understand at times.

"all in all--!"

Holding a megaphone, the fox spirit activated her flight magic to leave the center of the arena while loudly announcing the details of today's Level 4 Easter Egg Request to the live stream.

"Dear viewers, good evening!"

"Welcome to today's bonus request! I'm your most, most, most beloved magical girl—Kokoro-chan☆~"

The host recited lines from the sky to liven up the atmosphere, and the two fighters stepped forward on the stage, gripping their weapons tightly.

Only then did Bai Lili realize a terrifying fact: her view had been blocked by Xin Yuehu, and she hadn't noticed another pink figure on the other side of the arena.

It was a pink-furred bunny girl, not much shorter than Meng Donghua, wearing a bunny girl outfit trimmed with ribbons, carrying a large bunny hammer on her shoulder, and grinning with an exaggerated toothy smile, like the Cheshire Cat from fairy tales.

"...Hey, wait a minute! I have a question about the rules!"

Bai Lili finally couldn't hold back anymore and quickly raised her hand to ask a question.

"Hmm? It seems Miss Bai Lili still has some questions about the rules. Please ask if you have any."

"Isn't today Meng Donghua's teaching session? Why is Cheshire Rabbit on the other side??"

"...So you haven't seen her all this time, senpai." Iris felt weak all over and sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"I...I just didn't see her! If I had seen her, I would have turned around and left!" Bai Lili cried out in terror.

Cheshire Rabbit's smile remained unchanged. He activated his invisibility spell and gradually disappeared into the shadows of the night, leaving only a lingering crescent-shaped smile in the air.

Meng Donghua followed suit, activating her invisibility magic, instantly filling the night arena with an inexplicable chilling atmosphere.

Then, Bai Lili raised her head and said to the Heart Moon Fox in the sky:

"Hmm... Is it possible to reconcile?"

"At this very moment? You must be joking, Miss Bai Lili."

The golden-haired fox girl let out a villainous laugh, and the spotlights all went out in an instant, leaving only a dim yellow light in the center of the arena.

"Tonight's bonus content is commissioned by Cheshire Rabbit!"

"The content is as simple and easy to understand as what the cat posted: [Recruiting two Star Shadows to play with me for one night]."

"Come on, Miss Bai Lili, I hope you have fun with Rabbit and the other girl~"

next second.

A scorching aura reached Bai Lili's magical senses. She hurriedly activated her defensive magic and looked back at the source of the aura, but the rabbit hammer that was swinging down with all its might was already close at hand—shattering her magical shield in an instant!

"Heh ha, heh heh ha ha ha ha ha..."

"That's exactly the expression I wanted to see! I've always wanted to see Miss Bai Lili look so terrified and astonished!"

"Hahahahaha!!"

The maniacal March Hare let out an even more unrestrained laugh, her figure flashing through the darkness. Even though Iris had gathered her small-caliber magic cannon at full speed and tried to aim and fire, she still couldn't hit a hammer assassin who could achieve near-perfect invisibility in such a pitch-black environment.

Just as the iris was distracted by the Cheshire Rabbit's stealthy attack, another unfamiliar magical aura quietly emerged behind the girl:

The second bunny hammer fell from the sky, but was stopped at the last moment by the magic cannon barrel of the Iris Flower, thus failing to break through the Magic Cannon Princess's defensive shield.

"Ah...it's...it's blocked..."

Meng Donghua said in surprise, not expecting Iris Flower to react so quickly to her stealth attack.

Iris instinctively wanted to launch a counterattack, but hesitated slightly when she saw Meng Donghua's surprised expression. Cheshire Rabbit's hammer immediately followed up with a blow, forcing her to release the magic cannon and turn to defend against the attack, allowing Meng Donghua to escape and return to stealth mode.

"Strike and escape. If the attack misses, don't hesitate for a second; get away and run."

"Okay, okay! I understand!"

The rabbit girls' silent conversation echoed around Bai Lili and Iris Flower, like a demonstration of forehand and backhand techniques for their students.

"Was Cheshire Rabbit this powerful before?" Bai Lili couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely not. After going to Snow City, Cheshire Rabbit suddenly had the Shadow of Stars. Senior, please don't be so naive—"

Before the words were even finished, the March Hare launched another stealthy attack.

Iris Flower listened to the occasional "Aww!" cries from Lily beside her, while casually raising her magic cannon to block Meng Donghua's naive stealth attack, and provided support amidst the latter's frustrated sigh of "Failed again..."

I'll take a bag of snacks to visit Senior Bai Lili tomorrow. That's what Iris thought.
