Chapter 309 Escaping from Foxkov
The world of mental images, the most powerful magic in the world.
It allows the caster to create a separate space, freely defining everything within it, including physical and magical rules.
Currently, only three people have been confirmed to be able to cast this powerful magic: [Red Rose], [Crimson Snow], and [Heart Moon Fox].
Red Rose is currently enjoying a fantastic vacation, while Crimson Snow has long since retired. Now, only Heart Moon Fox can use the Mind World, which is causing the magical girls considerable distress.
Hyacinth, in particular, has almost developed the habit of investigating as soon as she enters the world of mental images.
"Based on my investigation just now..."
Sitting in a relatively clean, unmanned coffee shop on the street, Hyacinth brought her two companions a glass of warm water and placed it on the table.
"All our magic is forbidden, but I haven't figured out where Xin Yuehu hid the gold yet, and I can't contact the other teams either."
"This is troublesome..."
The iris muttered to itself.
The three of them exchanged glances.
Field mouse hyacinth, hamster nightingale, and white mouse iris.
The original trio of magical mice looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"What exactly is Xin Yuehu trying to do! Why doesn't she just honestly return the gold to us? Why did she have to pull this stunt!"
The field mouse hyacinth took a sip of water angrily and complained.
The little white mouse iris flower replied with a wry smile:
"Relax, isn't this just Xin Yuehu's usual style?"
"While that makes sense... I just feel really annoyed! And—"
Before the field mouse hyacinth could launch into a scathing critique, a familiar voice suddenly blared from the loudspeaker outside:
"Welcome to Fox's World of Imagination~ This is a simulated city scene that I specially created for you. Isn't it incredibly detailed and stunning~?"
The voice of Xinyuehu.
"Don't worry, I, Fox, will absolutely not embezzle that gold. But it would be too boring if I just handed it over to you so easily."
"So, everyone, please play a game with me, Fox!"
After he finished speaking, a familiar that looked like a delivery box flew in from outside and handed Hyacinth and the other two a thick envelope.
The three magic mice exchanged glances, and the field mouse hyacinth silently opened the box and read the game rules.
【The Great Adventure of Magical Mouse ~Escape from Foxkov~】
[Aside from storage magic, which is available on a limited basis, all other magic is prohibited. Weapons can be freely taken from the worktables nearby.]
In the city of Foxkov, there are four hidden vaults, each containing a certain amount of gold.
What you need to do is very simple—
Find the vault, defeat the guardian demons that I placed there, take all the gold, and then successfully escape.
Hyacinth raised an eyebrow.
The rules of the game seem simple: just take weapons and search for vaults throughout the city.
Having learned her lesson from the previous strange rule tale, Hyacinth obediently turned to the next page of the rules and read them carefully, afraid of missing any key points.
But when the three of them finished reading the second page, their eyes met with strange glances.
However, to reward the team that gets more gold, I, Fox, have prepared a special limited-edition gift~
Below is an image of the statue of the winner from the last Magic Hamster Adventure – the Magic Hamster Nightingale.
The team that successfully escapes with the most gold will receive a limited-edition figurine specially made for them by me!
[Also, there is no danger to your life in the mental world. When you run out of energy, I, Fox, will kindly teleport you away, so don't worry.]
However, because the magical mouse was eliminated due to too many attacks, the gold she carried cannot be taken away from Foxkov.
【——So】
Grab your weapons, don your armor, and explore this city of danger and riches, looting all the gold!
That concludes the rules.
The three magical mice exchanged a glance.
"...Did you guys see that? There are limited edition figurines!" Hamster Nightingale was the first to say.
"Of course I saw it, but I just feel like the rules of this game are..." Hyacinth Field Mouse hesitated.
While the gold does seem attainable, the rules still give off a strange feeling.
"Let me think about it carefully..."
"There are familiars guarding the gold, which means we have to be armed to get close and we also have to find a way to kill those familiars."
"Although Kokoro said the team that gets the most gold will get a limited edition figure, that's not very appealing at all, and besides..."
"Click".
The sound of metal clashing came from behind.
Hyacinth, the field mouse who was pondering the rules of the game, turned around and looked at the two people standing in front of the worktable choosing weapons.
Hamster Nightingale, White Mouse Iris.
The two men were already wearing the heaviest bulletproof armor and helmets they had found at the worktable, and were attaching various accessories to their weapons.
The field mouse and hyacinth stared wide-eyed.
"...I have to say, you two are moving way too fast."
"Of course! We absolutely have to find a way to get our hands on these limited-edition figures!"
The hamster and the nightingale were determined to win.
The little white mouse Iris Flower silently slung the very luxurious assault rifle over her back, while Nightingale began assembling a weapon that sent chills down Hyacinth's spine.
M32MGL, revolver grenade launcher.
The situation at the iris flower garden was even more horrifying—
She held a launcher and a set of ammunition that exuded a terrifying aura.
RPG-7 rocket launcher.
"...Limited edition figures are definitely ours."
The white mouse Iris has sharp eyes and a firm will, as resilient as steel.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of Foxkov City.
The Hyacinth Squad was located southeast of the Foxkov city, while in a hotel room to the west, another squad was quietly assembling their weapons.
"In other words..."
"If you want to get both the gold and the limited edition figure, you'll have to find a way to eliminate the other teams, right?"
Bai Lili nodded, answering her teammates' questions with silence.
Like the hyacinth, Bai Lili's team was also transformed into magical mice under the influence of magic—
White rat Bai Lili.
Bai Lili silently looked at herself in the mirror, now transformed into a giant white rat, and sighed helplessly.
Just as Hyacinth said, the Heart Moon Fox's quirks are truly unpredictable.
Fortunately, he was only given the characteristics of a rodent-like beastman, and it was not so bad that he turned into a rat.
Thinking of this, Bai Lili touched the white rat ears on her head and felt a little strange.
Humans will never understand the sensation of beastmen's ears and tails, unless they experience it firsthand.
"Captain, we're ready here!"
Clover the gopher walked up to Lily Bai, already wearing bulletproof armor and a helmet, and said to her captain.
Gerbillon bladderwort and bamboo rat burr are organizing the tools and weapons they need at the workbench. Their serious work makes them look cute in a way that is different from usual.
"Then let's get ready to go."
White Mouse Lily picked up her weapon and bulletproof armor and said to the three team members in front of her,
"We should make the gold stolen by Xin Yuehu our primary target."
"...If everyone really wants to get that limited edition figure, we can add some more items."
At this point, Bai Lili's expression turned serious, clearly showing that she was suddenly in a playful mood.
"All squad members, launch!"
