Chapter 41 The Girl’s Thoughts

Li Yi didn't fall asleep until very late last night.

I almost missed my train when I woke up this morning.

While sitting on the bus, with nothing to do, I took out the letters I had stayed up late writing and looked at them again.

I read it word by word. Yesterday, the sentences seemed quite normal, but today, reading them again, they felt strange, even a little embarrassing.

She pressed herself against the car window, half-concealing her handwriting. Actually, her handwriting was quite delicate and small, and even if the person sitting next to her leaned over to look, they might not be able to see it clearly. But Li Yi always felt that others could see it.

Feeling like a thief stealing something, I read through the letter and felt my cheeks burning as I carefully put the pink letter away.

Of course, she didn't actually want to use pink letters.

Because her sister said that love letters should be written in pink, she thought about writing them in other colors.

After looking at them one by one, she still felt that the pink letters looked better and were more suitable...

After all, it's a friendship letter, and pink is a relatively gentle color; other colors always feel a bit aggressive or cold...

Actually, the contents of the envelope were quite normal. In general, she hoped to get to know Jiang Si better, become good friends with her, and understand her thoughts. She genuinely hoped that Jiang Si and Coco could reconcile.

Because Li Yi herself has an older sister, she can better understand how distressed Coco is right now. She also believes that Jiang Si may not have intentionally made enemies with Coco, as they are still family members who depend on each other for survival.

If they truly hated and loathed each other, how could they have lived together for so long?

If they can communicate well and understand each other, even if they can't become like ordinary siblings who love each other, at least Coco won't feel cold and lonely at home.

As the captain of the magical girl combat team, it is my duty to care about the family situation of each member, help them solve their family problems, and be a qualified member of the magical girl combat team!

So, it's not about confessing my feelings or saying I like Jiang Si or anything like that...

As she pondered this, Li Yi took out the letter again and secretly glanced at it.

I hope it won't be mistaken for a love confession.

It's all my sister's fault for saying something about love letters. She was so worried that her writing was unclear and would be misunderstood. She had to think about every word several times before staying up until the middle of the night.

Last night I was planning to write while waiting for my sister to come back, but she didn't come back even after I fell asleep.

After she finished writing it, she still didn't know if it was appropriate or not.

Besides, isn't writing letters a bit too old-fashioned and outdated as a way to make friends? What if Jiang Si laughs at me?
If it's misunderstood as a confession, then rejecting it is fine. Although it might be a little disheartening, it won't cause any trouble.

But if I agree, then what should I do?
Should I say yes or no?

If I agree, will it cause a conflict with Ziyuan? Although I can't beat her, Jiang Si, who has already confessed, will be on my side, right...?

For a moment, her thoughts wandered far away. When she came to her senses, Li Yi felt embarrassed and immediately slapped her cheeks twice to stop thinking nonsense.

The passenger next to her was startled.

Li Yi, who had hurt herself, rubbed her slightly swollen face with tears in her eyes, and began to think about revising the letter properly when she got to school.

However, there are too many busybodies at school, and she is also considered a focus of attention in her class. If she starts writing letters in class, it will definitely be spread everywhere that she is writing love letters.

I need to find a secluded place to write this...

Jiang Si probably won't come to school today, so there's no rush to send her out. We'll go find Keke after school this afternoon.

I had made a promise with Coco that we would go for a walk together after school every day to relax, and I would try my best to finish my homework at school.

Because of Jiang Si's relationship with Zi Yuan, the Disaster Management Bureau dared not do anything further to Jiang Si, but they also dared not let Coco enter the bureau again, both to prevent any unforeseen circumstances and to protect Coco.

After all, although there aren't many people in the bureau who are unfriendly to the Qingyun Sect, there are still some. Her own sister also disliked the Qingyun Sect. Now that the Miracle Seed has been stolen from the bureau, if Coco still goes to the bureau, she will inevitably be suspected and gossiped about.

As the team leader, I can take her on missions every day and help her relax. There's no need for me to go to the Disaster Management Bureau.

Ultimately, going to the Disaster Management Bureau would mostly involve boring meetings, so not going wouldn't be a bad thing. In any case, Yinlian herself didn't want to go.

When I go for a walk with Coco after school this afternoon, I'll ask Coco to help deliver the letter. Also, I can ask Coco to check if there are any problems with the letter…

My mind was foggy from not sleeping well, and in my half-asleep state, I kept seeing Jiang Si's always expressionless face.

I had noticed before that, in terms of facial features alone, Jiang Si is actually quite handsome, which doesn't quite match his slightly irritable and fierce personality. If he wore glasses and sat quietly in the classroom, he would probably be mistaken for a well-behaved student.

This is the type that Li Yi likes...

No, no, Li Yi, what are you thinking!
Suddenly opening her eyes, Li Yi banged her forehead against the iron bars next to the window to stop herself from overthinking.

In short, all we want is to be friends!

After calming down, Li Yi looked out the window and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There is a strong, foul magical energy nearby?

Before she could react, the vehicle jolted violently, and screams erupted from inside. The driver frantically swerved to the side of the road and slammed on the brakes, trying to bring the bus to a stop.

A monstrous beast appeared in the park in the distance!
It must have been a cow. Its enormous body appeared directly from the sky and crashed into the park. The ground tremors reached the bus and even caused cracks to appear all over the asphalt road.

No one was seen in the mud and park fitness equipment that had been stirred up, indicating that someone had evacuated people from the vicinity of the park in advance.

Only the Disaster Management Bureau can do this, but why didn't I receive the message?

The bus barely stopped by the curb. Li Yi, clutching her seed, got up from her seat. A little magic emanated from her, helping her squeeze through the crowded throng to the front, get off the bus, and quickly run towards the park.

Before Li Yi could find a secluded spot to transform, more calamity beasts appeared in other places!
She looked around, momentarily at a loss.

Why didn't I receive the message?

The Disaster Management Bureau is able to detect the appearance of disaster beasts in advance. With so many disaster beasts appearing today, the Bureau should definitely be able to detect them. Logically speaking, as the team leader, I should have received the news yesterday...

Two beautiful streaks of light flashed across the sky. Looking up, Li Yi saw Coco and Rose. After transforming into a magical girl, she faced the bull-shaped monster.

It was as if it had been planned all along.

Police cars and special vehicles from the Disaster Management Agency were blocking off the danger zone near the park.

Beside the other calamity beasts, magical girls from the Qingyun Sect carefully sealed them off, minimizing the losses.

Everything proved that she was the only one who hadn't received the message.

Sensing a hint of unease, I went to a secluded corner and took out the Miracle Seed to transform. As I did so, I noticed an extremely dense little black dot on the Miracle Seed.

The little black dot was not big, but it was so conspicuous that Li Yi couldn't help but reach out and wipe it.

However, no matter how much you wipe it, the black spot won't disappear; it's as if it's imprinted inside the miracle seed.

Not in the mood to care too much, just as I was about to transform, my phone rang.

Li Yi glanced at it; it was the Inspection Section of the Disaster Management Bureau.

"Hello, is this Yiyi? Are you at school yet?" "Sister? Why are you using the Inspection Department's phone? And why didn't I receive any news about so many monsters appearing in the city? I saw Coco and Yueji seem to have received the news, and even the magical girl from the Qingyun Sect..."

"Too many questions asked at once, sigh. In short, our Disaster Management Bureau has been infiltrated like a sieve. The people from the Qingyun Sect even knew before us that a large number of disaster beasts were going to appear in BH City."

"We can talk about it when we get back. I'm going to deal with the monsters now!"

However, she sensed something was wrong as soon as she transformed.

The magic was slightly off.

Looking down, the tiny black dot on the miracle seed seemed to have grown a little bit bigger.

“My silly sister, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. With the Qingyun Sect and your team members here, these monsters won’t cause too much harm. The death toll will be in the single digits at most.”

"Sister, what are you saying..."

“What I mean is that you have more important things to do. Right now, the Disaster Management Bureau is not only facing attacks from disaster beasts, but members of the Witch's Guild and the Qingyun Sect have also begun to take action. I can sense that the Disaster Management Bureau is in a very dangerous situation and needs you to come back to stabilize the situation, Yiyi…”

Ahead, the giant bull that was approaching the B-level calamity beast stomped the ground and roared. The terrifying magic overturned the surrounding police cars, and Coco was almost blown off her broom by the magic.
The park was turned into a huge pit of ruins by repeated trampling, and the terrifying filth and magic made it impossible for roses and cocoa to get close.

The bull-like monster, pawing at the ground, lowered its head slightly, assuming a posture of gathering strength.

Then, he charged out!
Streets, vehicles, streetlights, factories—all were instantly crushed in this charge!

Rose and Coco stood in front, but even with their best efforts, they could not stop the beast's charge.

The power of this charge alone is comparable to that of a B-rank disaster beast!

Only when thousands of pink petals fluttered down and surrounded the bull-like monster did its charging speed gradually slow down.

Then, with one leg half-kneeling, it fell to the ground, half of its head hitting the ground, digging a huge trench, until it finally stopped when its horns crashed into a building in front of it.

Rose and Coco both turned around in surprise, "Captain!"

"Sister, I'll be back as soon as I've dealt with the calamity beast!" After hanging up the phone, Yinlian flew up and stood beside the two of them, asking first, "Did you both receive the news in advance?"

Seeing that both of them nodded, Yinlian took a deep breath and did not ask any further questions.

Because after the bull-like monster pierced through the building in front of it with its horns, it shook its head and stood up again.

"Focus your attention and cooperate with me to eliminate the calamity beast!"

"Yes, Captain!"

……

Disaster Management Bureau, Inspection Section.

Yinlu stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up.

In the crystal ball beside them, the twins' annoying faces appeared, grinning, "Oh dear, your own sister hung up on you. How pitiful. Even if you tell her you're in danger, she doesn't care at all."

"After all, she is the captain of the magical girl combat team."

Yinluo's face flickered with a mixture of emotions due to the constant flashing of her phone screen, a mixture of pride and disgust. "First, I must fulfill my mission as the captain of the magical girl combat team, protecting everyone as a magical girl, and then everything else."

"It's really sad that even my older sister is included in the 'others' category."

"Yes."

Yinluo took off her glasses and picked up the crystal ball. "What's even more heartbreaking is that my sister, who used to be so obedient to you and could only follow behind you and depend on you, has become so independent. She can even give you orders and protect you from behind, as if the roles have been reversed."

"Are you feeling unbalanced?"

Without speaking, Yinlu simply smiled and raised the crystal ball. "Miss Twins, as we agreed before, I gave you half of the potion, and you helped me activate the Seeds of Sorrow that the captain had spread. But this quantity seems a bit off, doesn't it? Isn't it significantly less than what we agreed on?"

"Oh dear, look at what you're saying, it sounds like I'm trying to trick you." The twins looked aggrieved. "You know how cautious the captain is. I've already done my best to awaken so many calamity beasts. Many of the seeds of lamentation didn't even have enough corrupted magic power stored up before they were forcibly activated, wasting so much. The captain will definitely be furious later, how can you blame me?"

"Moreover, compared to the insufficient number of calamity beasts I activated, isn't the more important issue that you also allowed the Surveillance Department's message to be leaked? You put in so much effort, but in the end, the Qingyun Sect still received the news in advance. In the end, you only kept it from your own sister. This is more fatal than the insufficient number of calamity beasts I activated. If the Qingyun Sect hadn't received the news in advance, there would definitely be chaos outside right now, and a lot of people would be dead."

Yinluo rubbed her temples as she walked out of the Supervision Department.

"There's nothing we can do; after all, it's the Qingyun Sect."

Yinluo entered the corridor, surrounded by other Disaster Management Bureau employees who were acting hastily.

Outside the Disaster Management Bureau, the roars of several calamity beasts could be heard.

Bringing the Seed of Sorrow into the Disaster Management Bureau's independent space to awaken it was not a difficult task for Yinluo.

Peony has already gone outside to provide support. Rose and Coco were not originally in the bureau. There are currently no magical girls in the entire Disaster Management Bureau; they are only defending themselves with magical barriers.

A barrage of heavy weaponry ammunition exploded on the calamity beast, causing violent tremors that made it difficult for anyone inside the Disaster Management Bureau to stand.

However, for the calamity beast, it could only barely suppress it.

The magic barrier has begun to falter under the onslaught of numerous calamity beasts.

She walked toward the safe room, which was now empty as all the armed forces in the bureau were dealing with the monsters.

The process of unlocking the door, verifying, decrypting, and swiping the card—a multi-layered design—appears quite professional.

However, having worked here long enough, Yinlu naturally knew how much of it was just for show and superficiality.

As she passed by, she asked, "I'm very curious, why did you betray the Qingyun Sect and join the Witch's Guild?"

"Just like your betrayal of the Disaster Management Bureau, it's just because I don't like certain people."

"If it's just about dealing with the Qingyun Sect, wouldn't the Disaster Management Bureau be a better choice? It would leave room for maneuver."

"Don't make me laugh. Do you even believe what you're saying? You want me to join the Disaster Management Bureau to deal with the Qingyun Sect? I feel like I'd rather do it on my own."

Yinlu walked to the third brick in the east corner of the wall, opened it, and saw an exquisite box inside.

Yinluo, who had always maintained an elegant and calm demeanor, suddenly showed a hint of intense emotion on her face.

Excitedly and greedily stroking the box, she couldn't wait to open it, only to find that it wasn't locked.

Yinlu was stunned that she couldn't use the lock-picking tools she had prepared. Then she opened the box and found that there were only two Miracle Seeds left.

If I remember correctly, shouldn't it be three?
"Hey hey hey, my gift for you has arrived! I won't disturb your first display of power after gaining it, bye-bye~"

The twin faces on the crystal ball disappeared, and Yinluo, who had heard the commotion, turned around abruptly.

Susan leaned against the wall, arms crossed, looking at her with a mixture of mockery and disgust:
"Is there anything else you want to explain, Miss Yinluo?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Yinlu quickly went through the list of people who knew the information in her mind, and then sighed.

Twins, you little slut...
