Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 4: If I can't transform, doesn't that mean I can only die?

The rain is still falling outside.

Jiang Si came down from the bedroom on the second floor. Her younger sister was sitting in the living room, staring blankly at the family photo hanging on the wall.

That photo was taken before I went on my trip.

The mother, wearing a white hat, smiled faintly but her brows were furrowed as she reached out to extinguish the cigarette in the father's mouth.

The father, who looked somewhat old, wore a helpless smile as he held his excited younger sister in his arms.

Behind the three was Jiang Si, who seemed distracted and out of place.

"Your uncle said he wants to adopt you."

As she walked to the door and changed her shoes, Jiang Si said indifferently, "Just pack your things and go. I'll look after the house. You can come back and visit anytime."

"elder brother."

Her soft, weak voice sounded as if she hadn't eaten for days, and it was tinged with sobs.

"Take anything you want from the house."

Jiang Si tapped her toes at the entrance to make her shoes fit her feet better. "I have something to do."

"What exactly happened, brother?"

The younger sister, her eyes filled with envy, asked with only grievance in her voice, "What could possibly have happened?"

Jiang Si paused as she pushed open the door, then pulled out an umbrella from the shoe cabinet. "There are many."

"elder brother!"

His sister raised her voice, as if she was trying to call him back.

However, Jiang Si did not go to see her; she simply went out the door and closed it.

"Jiang Si!"

The last cry sounded hoarse, tinged with tears. But Jiang Si didn't stop; she simply opened her umbrella and stepped into the rain.

A tiny sprite, like a rag doll, flew out of his pocket.

It looks like a pink flying kitten.

"Wouldn't it be better if you stayed and had a heart-to-heart talk with your sister...?"

A magical girl's companion spirit. Jiang Si had never watched a magical girl anime and didn't know what this was.

When it appeared immediately after its transformation, her first reaction was that it was the prototype of a calamity beast, so she instinctively tried to kill it.

However, they cannot actually touch each other.

It is not a real living being, but rather a phantom or something created by magical power after transforming into a magical girl.

I later learned that this being was there to guide magical girls.

"No need. Her parents are gone, she needs to grow up quickly."

Jiang Si's tone was devoid of any warmth, as if raindrops falling next to him would freeze. "I don't plan to take care of her."

I have a lot to do, and I won't be able to take care of her in the future.

It would be best if they could be adopted by relatives.

"Girls have very soft hearts, like flowers that need to be cherished..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Si grabbed the thing on her head that looked like a blade of grass and lifted it in front of her, letting the rain water the little elf.

Relying on the magical girl's magic, the companion spirit will gradually gain a physical form. The grass on her head is the origin of the spirit in front of her, and it is also the only weakness that Jiang Si can grasp.

"I want to know about magical girls."

Jiang Si's tone was unusually anxious, "Why can't I transform anymore?"

Since that day he transformed, whenever he took out the seed again, he could no longer feel the magic and was unable to transform.

This was completely unacceptable to Jiang Si.

This is also why he had no interest in caring about his sister; his own path to enlightenment was the most important thing.

Like a kitten, the sprite with its wings fluttering, peeked out of Jiang Si's hand and huffed:

"If you keep doing this, I'll really get angry!"

"Sorry, so why can't I transform anymore?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Si apologized so readily. The elf paused for a moment before vaguely saying, "Of course, there are many requirements for transformation. It's not something you can just do on a whim. But this is the first time I've seen a boy transform into a magical girl..." "So what's needed for transformation?"

"Why are you in such a hurry..." the little fairy muttered, but still answered him, "First, grasp the Miracle Seed. The Miracle Seed is the important medium for transformation. Only by obtaining your own Miracle Seed can you become a true magical girl..."

As I walked along the road, intending to buy something at a convenience store, I heard a commotion coming from the parking lot further ahead.

"not good!"

The previously leisurely little sprite's voice suddenly became urgent, "A calamity beast has appeared!"

"I still don't know how to transform."

"I'll explain quickly, you run! If the monsters eat people, they'll only get stronger!"

Jiang Si didn't run, but instead quickened her pace.

In the pouring rain, a panicked crowd surged out from the parking lot, shoving and jostling him, making it impossible for Jiang Si to run.

His past training always provided him with reliable support in crucial moments.

Effort will never betray you.

Even when faced with such a chaotic crowd, he was still able to stroll leisurely against the current, without even moving his umbrella.

"Second! You must feel the magic within the seed! Resonate with the magic! Only by resonating with the magic can you possess the power to become a magical girl! Close your eyes, and you can feel the water flowing within the seed; that is the magic!"

Just as the little elf said, I could indeed feel the flowing power within the seed when I closed my eyes.

But it's not water; it's more like fire.

Fiery and violent!
After weaving through the surging crowd, Jiang Si finally reached the parking lot where the calamity beast was located.

The terrifying monster resembled some kind of insect that had been enlarged, its mouthparts even tearing apart a car.

The entire parking lot was a mess, but there were hardly any people around. The cars were smashed and billowing black smoke, and the torrential rain extinguished the flames.

There was only one little girl with a cut on her right leg, sitting in the rain, pressing her bleeding leg, sobbing in panic.

"Quick, save her! Jiang Si!"

"I sensed the magic, but then what? I still couldn't transform."

Jiang Si walked towards the calamity beast at a leisurely pace.

"The final step is, of course, the spell, the final transformation spell! You have to figure it out yourself! It's the trigger for unleashing magical power and donning the costume! It's common sense that you can transform simply by using a spell!"

"What kind of common sense is this? I've never heard of it."

The injured girl looked up and saw the strange boy walk up to her, facing the calamity beast.

He casually tossed the umbrella aside, and it landed at her feet.

"Stay out of the way."

His indifferent tone didn't make her feel cold. As she picked up the umbrella, she saw the boy take out a seed.

The beautiful and delicate seeds immediately captivated her, making it impossible for her to look away.

Then, she heard the boy chant some incantation, but it was drowned out by the sound of rain, so she couldn't hear it clearly.

Purple flames shot into the sky!

The monster that was crashing into them was sent flying and crashed into a car.

The urgent sirens of car sirens, the torrential rain, and the roars of monstrous beasts mingled together, yet the girl could see and hear nothing.

All his attention was focused on the purple figure in front of him.

The fluttering ribbons resembled flowers swaying in the wind, and the purple and gold dress made her look like a flower blooming in a flame.

And that face, with a gaze that held a certain masculine determination and aloofness, yet its features were exceptionally beautiful and lovely.

The boy transformed into a magical girl...

"Magical girl, Shion."

"Begin the cleanup task."

The girl, clutching her umbrella tightly, imprinted that figure—as fiery and as beautiful as a flower—deeply in her heart, though she didn't know where the sound came from.

I can never forget it.
