Tokyo, there are too many defeated magical girls.

But at the same time, we also get something even better.

—Those were the magical girl's jade feet, soaked in milk tea.

They were wearing fishnet stockings and flesh-colored ankle socks, one for each of them, both displaying an extremely alluring, damp sheen.

Just having it right in front of me triggered the "quenching thirst by looking at plums" effect, and I no longer felt thirsty at all.

These two magical girls also behaved very well.

Upon noticing their master staring intently, they immediately understood and offered their wet, delicate feet to each other.

The way the three of them are getting along now is a little strange, but it doesn't prevent them from communicating normally.

"Um, Master..."

Enduring the tingling sensation on the soles of her feet, Rose mustered her courage and took the initiative to ask:

"You pretend to be a dehumidifier, and you make them make milk tea... Aren't these things just personal quirks?"

"Cough cough."

Lin Chun choked hard.

He quickly wiped the milk tea stains from his lips, put on a serious expression, and answered solemnly:

"I am enduring humiliation! I want them to believe that you are the mastermind behind this, only then will they lower their guard."

As soon as he finished speaking, his index finger pressed gently against the delicate sole of her foot once again.

Whether it's the rose-patterned fishnet stockings or the chrysanthemum-colored nude stockings, their aesthetic value outweighs their practical value.

Now, completely soaked by the sweet milk tea, it offers no protection whatsoever.

The unmistakable itch immediately traveled to the deepest, itchy spot, causing the entire delicate and tender contours to tremble.

"Only by casting a long line can you catch a big fish!"

"But...does this really work?"

Jinju, her face flushed, spoke up for Qiangwei, pressing for an answer with great concern.

Lin Chun was not angry at all about this suspicion.

"Yes, it must be this time—they want to double-cross you, and they can't wait any longer."

Lin Chun looked at the spot where Emerald and Blue Crystal had been sitting.

State your judgment in a firm tone.

Before she finished speaking, the delicate feet that had been placed in his arms tensed up.

"A double-cross?!"

"real or fake?!"

"One hundred percent, I could smell it just now, the Magic Emerald had a very strong sense of guilt about it."

As Lin Chun spoke, he closed his eyes and carefully recalled the smell he had experienced at that time.

Lies, conspiracies, greed...

Only when secretly plotting a double-cross will the body produce such a large amount of hot sweat, fermenting into a strong aroma.

A strange, rich aroma rushed into his brain, almost melting his brain marrow.

Following this judgment, Lin Chun explained his entire reasoning.

"Actually, you can tell by thinking about it, right? Just destroying a black chocolate workshop is not enough to get 10 billion yen."

"Only by destroying the entire underground demon cave can such a reward be matched."

"They probably want to use this opportunity to capture one of you, interrogate him to find out how to enter the Demon Cave, and then wipe you all out in one fell swoop."

As Lin Chun's words fell to the ground—

Jinju, being impatient, immediately bristled.

Completely forgetting that his left foot was still in Lin Chun's arms, he stood up with a whoosh.

In other words, it's like stepping directly on the owner.

"Those seniors are so heartless! They were begging us to cooperate, and they still dared to betray us!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the rose beside her and said with high spirits:

"Call Haru Sakura! The three of us magical girls can gang up on those two old hags; we absolutely can't lose!"

"Yes! Beat them to a pulp!"

"No, no, wait a minute, are you guys some kind of delinquent girl gang? You're giving off a Crows Zero vibe."

Lin Chun complained, utterly speechless.

Take the hand of the magical golden chrysanthemum and help her sit down again.

Under the bewildered gazes of the two enthusiastic girls, he cleared his throat and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Why resort to violence? Even if we capture them all, dealing with the aftermath will be a huge hassle."

He interlaced his fingers and placed them in front of his nose.

"Given the personalities of Emerald and Blue Crystal, they'll definitely fight to the death, and it might even end in a lose-lose situation!"

Thanks to @21797 for the two Salted Fish Thrusts!

Thanks to @猪魔 and @Nuko4 for the spicy snacks!

The last day of February!

Whether Tail can achieve the full word count remains to be seen!

Volume 1: 246. A generous reward will surely bring forth brave men.

"Well……"

After listening to her master's analysis, Magic Rose, who was essentially a kind and good child, couldn't help but look troubled.

She only wanted to teach her seniors a lesson and didn't actually intend to cause any deaths.

The magical golden chrysanthemum beside them had a similar idea.

However, his fiery temper as a fighter meant he would never swallow his pride.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to let them double-cross us?!"

"They just used some bait on the fish—chrysanthemum sauce—do you really think they made a profit?"

With the best possible response already in mind, Lin Chun's lips curled into a devilish, cunning smile.

Just a slight hint...

The second magical girl to join the "Brainwashing Department" immediately understood.

She showed a look of surprise and delight, and even her charming figure lowered to the extreme.

If it had a tail, it would definitely wag like a puppy right now.

"Does the master mean that we'll make them think they've succeeded, but they'll actually be walking into a trap, where we'll catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"Jinju, you've learned to think like a villain now~"

Lin Chun laughed with satisfaction.

He even raised his right hand and patted Jinju's head as a reward.

—Under their own manipulation, the four magical girls are about to engage in another dirty deal that cannot be made in the light of day.

In this situation, it's perfectly normal for two people to double-cross each other.

It's perfectly understandable that Emerald and Blue Crystal want to destroy the entire underground den of iniquity in Tokyo and get 10 billion yen.

However, high returns also mean high risks.

If the double-cross fails, you have to accept the consequences and obediently accept the extortion.

By then, what I'll squeeze out of them will be far more than 10 billion yen.

"I thought that since he was your senior, he would have some cunning, but I didn't expect him to be nothing more than that."

Lin Chun shook his head and chuckled dismissively.

Directly in front of them, the gazes of the two magical girls had turned into utter adoration and reverence.

"It's all because our owner is so amazing~"

"Useless seniors deserve to become sticky."

Although they were tricked into joining the "brainwashing department," they felt no shame whatsoever.

Now, it feels a bit like being an accomplice to a tyrant.

Even so, Lin Chun did not become complacent.

The tone shifted abruptly, as if pouring a bucket of cold water over the two magical girls.
