Chapter 175 I'll accept the wheat.
A wheat-colored magical girl flies through the air.
Wheat gripped the magic wand tightly, gazing at the dimly lit valley scenic area ahead, yet involuntarily turning back to glance at the brightly lit city below.
The gap between Chengdu and Guangzhou doesn't seem to be as big as I imagined; in fact, it seems more prosperous than Guangzhou.
With that thought in mind, Mai Sui refocused her attention on the distance and suddenly noticed three figures floating in the air, waiting.
The girl braked suddenly in mid-air, meeting the gazes of Hyacinth and the other two.
"Good evening, Senior Wheat Ear," Iris said politely.
Hyacinth remained silent, only glancing at the time on the divine stone in her hand.
It was 7:45, 15 minutes late from the scheduled 7:30.
"Okay, good evening."
The wheat stalks nodded.
"Sorry, I had some urgent business to attend to, so I'm a little late."
"...It's alright, we just arrived too."
Hyacinth didn't say much, turning her gaze to the Longgushan Scenic Area not far away.
The cable car station at the top of the mountain was lit up, and three small figures could be vaguely seen sitting there. There was no sign of any strange people around, and it seemed very peaceful and serene.
"It seems the three of them were completely unprepared."
Mai Sui crossed her arms over her chest, frowned slightly, and said, completely ignoring the fact that she was fifteen minutes late.
"But we must also be careful. That Moon Fox may be hiding something strange nearby. Be very careful."
"You're being too cautious. Iris and Hyacinth both have the Shadow of Stars, why don't you just go up and chase those three away?"
The wheat-colored magical girl looked puzzled.
Seeing the three people looking at each other in silence, Mai Sui felt a surge of dissatisfaction, frowned, and flew forward alone.
"Hey, Mushroom-senpai, wait a minute!"
Iris tried to call out to her, but the petite magical girl seemed not to hear her and flew towards the mountain on her own.
The three of them had no choice but to follow silently.
"...I have to say, your personality is really awkward."
Hyacinth sent a magical communication to the two people beside her.
"Yeah, not only was she late, but she also started pointing fingers as soon as she came up. If she weren't a senior, I would have said something to her already," Nightingale replied irritably.
The iris gave an awkward, wry smile, turned to look ahead, and sighed softly.
...
The wheat ears hovered in the air, looking down at the three figures on the mountaintop viewing platform.
"Hey, you're Xin Yuehu, right?"
Two magic cannons appeared beside the girl, pointed at the three of them, and she shouted loudly.
The golden magical girl glanced up at her, smiled, and tilted her head, while the two figures in dark blue and pink beside her remained motionless.
"Hmm? Oh my, isn't this Miss Wheat Ear? What brings you here? Are you looking for a late-night snack with Fox?"
"Late-night snack?...Eating late-night snacks at this hour? Your timing is really strange," Mai Sui replied with a puzzled look, her magical cannon still shining brightly.
Hyacinth and her two companions arrived shortly afterward. Looking down at the three figures on the observation deck, they immediately sensed something was amiss.
Why are the Hellcat and Cheshire Rabbit not making any noise?
"Haha, it's just a late-night snack. Anything eaten at night is a late-night snack, right? Or... Miss Mai, have you never had a late-night snack with your friends before?"
"..."
silence.
The wheat-colored magical girl frowned, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.
"What do you mean? Are you mocking me for having no friends?"
"Hmm... I was just saying it casually, why are you getting so worked up, Miss Wheat Ear?"
Su Tianqing understood, but a happy smile appeared on her face.
Now he had guessed it by accident, and could even vaguely guess why Mai Sui had come to Chengdu at this delicate time.
"Damn it...unforgivable!"
The anger on the girl's face became even more conspicuous. Before Iris could stop her, the magic cannon beside her had already opened fire!
"Click!!!"
The magical energy spread out, creating violent ripples around her, and the three of them were also forced back by the aftershocks.
However, the two magic cannons failed to eliminate the three figures on the ground and were completely absorbed by a dark figure who also wielded two magic cannons!
"What!?"
"That's... that crab monster from last time... no, that's a witch...!"
Iris immediately recognized the technique that could absorb magic cannons and shouted loudly.
Seeing that her magic cannon was blocked, Wheat frowned and met the gaze of the golden-haired fox peeking out from behind the Cancer Witch.
"Hehe, how about it, Miss Wheat Ear? My anti-magic cannon monster is pretty powerful, isn't it?"
"……hateful."
"I said through gritted teeth," Mai Sui said.
"Don't underestimate me! Try this trick!"
The two magic cannons immediately disintegrated into magic particles, which gathered around the girl and transformed into a wheat-colored tank cannon, gleaming with a fierce light.
The three of them, including Hyacinth, were unsure whether they should go up and try to break up the fight.
Wheat, oblivious to her own predicament, charged to the front, immediately unleashing a barrage of magic cannon fire upon Heart Moon Fox, leaving herself no space for close combat.
Even the Iris Flower's support artillery positions were blocked by her, leaving them in a dilemma.
What worries the three even more are the two villainous companions of Xin Yuehu who have yet to make a move—
—Was that really her villainous ally?
"……not good!"
Realizing she had been tricked, Hyacinth activated Starry Shadow without hesitation, and her keen senses immediately revealed the truth about the two figures.
Those were merely two magical projections of Xin Yuehu! The real Cheshire Rabbit and Hellcat... weren't even by Xin Yuehu's side!
But if these two aren't by her side, then what will happen...?
"Of course..."
"Here."
A deep, resonant voice.
A familiar sensation came from beneath her feet, and Hyacinth immediately twisted her greatsword to collide head-on with Cheshire Rabbit, who broke his stealth and swung his hammer upwards from beneath his feet!
"Crack!!!"
"Ugh!"
Hyacinth felt a sudden jolt, shocked by the overwhelming, almost overflowing, magical power emanating from the Cheshire Rabbit.
How is this possible! She didn't have such a massive amount of magic power when we fought last time, so why is she suddenly...?
Even with its powerful magic, it couldn't sustain a fight against the Shadow of Stars. Cheshire Rabbit knew this well, so it retreated after a single strike, quietly disappearing from sight and leaving only a strange crescent-shaped smile in the air.
But when Hyacinth looked again at the ears of wheat not far away, preparing to fire a tank cannon, the scene before her eyes made her pupils shrink sharply—
"Got you?"
"Ugh?!"
A deep blue figure plummeted from the sky at high speed. The Hellcat in its shrike form punched Wheat in the abdomen, instantly shattering her charging Tank Magic Cannon. The petite figure was also carried far away by the Hellcat!
A super-fast attack from the sky!
Nan Xiaofeng recalled a summary post about villainous magical girls that he had once seen, which also recorded Hell Shrike's super-fast raiding tactics.
This is an absolutely deadly threat to firepower-type magical girls who lack mobility!
Wheat was caught in this trap, instantly losing control of the magic and being carried high into the sky by the Hell Shrike, which was accelerating at full speed, transforming into a deep blue meteor and soaring away.
...Wait a minute, then leave?
Hyacinth was stunned for a moment. She was still wary of Cheshire Rabbit's sudden attack, but she quickly turned her attention to the golden fox on the observation deck. She saw a familiar wicked smile on the fox's face.
And the farewell gesture of waving and wagging its tail.
"Fox, I'm only here to catch Miss Wheat Ear today~"
Goodbye, Miss Hyacinth!
"Wait! Don't run away!"
Teleportation magic activated.
Hyacinth's giant sword was ultimately a step too slow, its strike missing its mark and leaving a deep ravine on the viewing platform.
The Longgushan Scenic Area was so quiet it was as if nothing had happened.
