Dad, Please Let Me Be Your One-and-Only Fan!

"Wow, amazing! Absolutely gorgeous!"

"Where did that sword go? It looked so stylish."

"Can my hair and eye color change back? I want to see!"

Well, in order not to make the Little Cotton-padded Jacket feel isolated, the other three all chose to act as if they were not knowing for the first time, and said some words of shock and praise.

Before long, everyone realized that this was not the time to talk, and they nervously pushed Chu Yuanqing away, trying to leave the spot.

Although countless people witnessed Xiao Qing's transformation, and many even filmed it, making it likely impossible to keep it a secret any longer, the distant sound of police sirens and the fully armed special forces in the distance raise another issue.

We can't let Qing Bao get caught red-handed, can we?

You know, Magical Girl in anime are always fleeting, constantly trying to protect their Magical Girl identities. Directly revealing their identities or engaging in official exchanges with non-national entities always seems like it could easily lead to a lot of trouble!

Chu Yuanqing sighed, stopped in her tracks, grabbed Kiriwake Yayoi's arm, pointed in the direction they were trying to run, and said with amusement:

"You don't think the authorities didn't cordon off those streets, do you? The officer in charge wouldn't be that stupid."

After hearing this, Kiriwake Yayoi felt uneasy and disappointed. She wasn't certain that Qing Bao's contact with the other party would lead to a bad outcome; she simply felt... a deep sense of powerlessness.

Whether it was the monster that had brought the Plague Pillar to life or the heavily armed army in the distance, both were far too cold and absurd for her, who lived in a peaceful world and whose life was mainly set on an idol film set.

The girl had no leverage to defy either side. She couldn't protect Chu Yuanqing, nor did she have the power to stand in front of him. All she could say at that moment were weak words like "stay away," "run away," and "avoid."

Little Sakura's eyes were unfocused. The fragments of memories that had come back earlier were like a torrential downpour in this emotion. Her brain couldn't comprehend the amount of information for a moment. Yet, deep in her chest, in her limbs, and in her hundreds of bones, a scorching heat surged up.

Steel melts, swords are reforged, spirituality is reconstructed, mythology is woven...

The power originating from the previous Worldline stirred up an immense Heart Tide phenomenon the instant the memories flowed back into the body, as if resurrecting itself to devour flesh and carve bones, attempting to recast the remains of something.

In a daze, she looked down and saw a terrifying giant serpent with eight heads and eight tails, seemingly a massive mountain range, swallowing up dark clouds and bringing disaster to the earth.

That is...

And at the moment when the real name was about to be revealed,

The Pure White Witch noticed this Heart Tide fluctuation. She frowned slightly, realizing that it was the interplay of her [Witch] and blessing natures that had caused this unexpected surge in emotions. She immediately pinched Little Sakura's cheek and smiled, saying:

"Yayoi, it's time to go back to the dorm and rest."

Kiriwake Yayoi felt incredibly weak, her head spinning, and the cherry blossom pink in her eyes seemingly drained. She looked around blankly, noticing the distant troops advancing, and suddenly snapped to attention, asking:

"Xiao Qing, which way do we go?"

Chu Yuanqing snapped her fingers, and she and the four of them were enveloped in a layer of magical substance, disappearing from the Material World as if they were invisible. She gave them a reassuring smile and replied:

"Use magic, now no one can see us."

The Green Eyed Cat pinched its cheek, looked at the group, and asked curiously:

"It's true, everyone seems so blurry now, you can't even see them clearly unless you look closely."

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket was also very surprised. She pinched Liuli's cheek and said:

"You can still touch it!"

This is not a special technique. Just like when she used the principle that magical matter is invisible to the naked eye to hide an extra cell phone and pass through the base's security check, as long as you wrap a person in magic, the special nature of magical matter will create the phenomenon of apparent invisibility.

However, the girls around her who were also [Witch] trainees could barely see their teammates clearly, making such a method practically useless against the other [Witch].

It didn't matter, Chu Yuanqing was just trying to make the Little Idol happy anyway.

Vienna is one of the competition zones for Flash Dance. As Super AI, Dream Weaver Rabbit can easily see the entire process of its battle, whether it is the surrounding surveillance or the satellites in the sky. There is no point in trying to escape.

The Pure White Witch was merely putting on an act and testing the attitude of the <Flash Dance> official team. With a thought in mind, she put her four teammates back into the magic sphere, materialized some of their Magic Armor, and flew to a height of two or three hundred meters, heading towards the hotel.

Meanwhile, the special forces, who had been on standby, approached the source of the disaster after the women disappeared. Looking at the Black Death Memorial Pillar, which was recreated one-to-one with mercury, they marveled at the exquisite magical manipulation and began to collect and clean up the mess.

Meanwhile, a large number of police officers in Vienna were responsible for controlling all the people present at the time. Under orders from above, they launched a massive project to block information by conducting one-on-one checks of electronic devices, signing confidentiality agreements, and even using special methods to erase memories.

Those videos taken by passersby and immediately uploaded to the internet were all deleted by a Super AI, which also set up a special interception program to prevent information about the [Witch] and the Calamity Beasts from being exposed to the public.

Because the suppression of [Pure White] has gradually weakened in recent years, [Calamity Species] have begun to resurface around the world. Coupled with the continued disruptions caused by the Cult of Disaster Gods, the authorities have long had a complete set of procedures to deal with this.

With fewer than a thousand witnesses, this is a trivial matter for the authorities who can control public opinion and the internet; it's not a big deal.

At the same time, St. Stephen's Cathedral.

Underground base, central control room.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit looked at the complete battle process pieced together by [Fuxi]'s high-frame-rate capture, supplemented by surrounding monitoring and intelligent deduction, and fell silent.

If Chu Yuanqing's face were covered, it would definitely think she was a Captain-Class [Witch] who had undergone countless trials in the virtual environment, honing her combat awareness, magical micro-management, spell control, and Magic Armor application to perfection.

The problem is that the people in the picture have not undergone any systematic training, and their previous life trajectories have no connection with elements such as fighting, competition, and killing.

Even if we get our hands on a man-made lantern, it will only be a matter of one or two months.

During this period, all of Chu Yuanqing's activities were under the monitoring of <Flash Dance>. At most, she could study magic and hone her spells alone in a private place like her bedroom, but she could never have any real combat experience.

In other words, this battle, which lasted less than three minutes, was as smooth and fluid as flowing water, combining beauty and precision, with swords dancing in the sunlight, leaving a lasting impression, and was even her first real combat experience!

This is completely unreasonable.

At least, the probability of such a genius existing in the world is not zero.

Following protocol, the Dream Weaver Rabbit first sent videos and related information to the upper echelons of the Donghuang Federation. Then, looking at the projections of the participants who had voluntarily joined the meeting, displayed before the long table, it inquired:

"As you can see, Chu Yuanqing completed the [Lighting Up] and [Flower Bloom] stages within a month, and has become proficient in using Magic Armor and magic. She has demonstrated courage in the face of calamity and kindness in protecting the people."

"So, putting everything else aside, her choices and performance have been better than we expected, and more in line with the requirements of a [Lighthouse]. What are your thoughts on this?"

Chen Zexu reluctantly withdrew his gaze. The old man sitting in the headquarters of the Great Xia Countermeasures Bureau subconsciously straightened his appearance, smoothed his perfectly wrinkle-free collar, and murmured:

"Based on the magical reaction observed by [Fuxi], it is highly likely to be a nascent form of C-Class [Calamity Species] that has hatched. The disaster extermination forces stationed in Vienna are fighting against it, and even in the most optimistic estimates, the casualty rate is as high as 27%."

"Even Witch who has completed [Flower Bloom], possesses [Pool]-level magic, awakened her innate spell, undergone complete training and instruction, and graduated with an S-rank grade, still doesn't have a high chance of defeating it before [Full Bloom]."

"Not only did Chu Yuanqing end this battle in just 91 seconds without taking any damage, but the total magical power she consumed during the battle was less than a [lamp] unit. She is absolutely an unprecedented combat genius!"

Some people have interpreted it with a deeper meaning, saying:

"This shows that Chu Yuanqing was completely at ease throughout. The juvenile form of C-Class Calamity Beasts wasn't even worthy of her using much magic or mana. Perhaps... she's already on par with some Captain-Class [Witch] in terms of Combat Power?"

Dream Weaver Rabbit calmly replied:

"There's still a long way to go. Captain-Class [Witch] have already reached [Full Bloom] and can enter [Full Bloom] with the blessing of Flower Language. Many Forbidden Spell can only be mastered when you reach the perfect stage."

Even the most inexperienced Xie Qingyu possesses the ability to destroy a main city with magic. Her constant setbacks on the Nightmare side are purely due to the information gap and the severe suppression of her abilities. Furthermore, she is concerned about the juniors in the Public Performance venue and is in the position of a guardian.

That's truly shameful—being manipulated like a puppet.

Even so, she didn't die in the Mirror Sea of Haido. If she were to pay the price to use [Great Full Bloom], she could completely ignore the information gap and rely on pure power to defeat the Nightmare.

The sword that Chu Yuanqing wielded with his clone during the Public Performance was actually far less powerful than the [Butterfly Burial] that Xie Qingyu used in Mirror Sea of Haido. It was only because the burning of Laevateinn, recreated in [Pure White Aria], combined with the fire of the heart, was imbued with the effect of fate and causality that it was able to win the battle.

The same applies to [Silver Mirror], who was showcased this time. Her amazing aspects lie in her micro-management and the potential she demonstrates, but she hasn't yet reached the level of Captain-Class.

The man didn't seem to mind and smiled, saying:

"But after a while, things might change."

For a moment, there were no questions about the video or reviews of the logic in the meeting; the atmosphere was cheerful and joyful.

Although it's outrageous, it's not something that's too difficult for Chu Yuanqing to digest.

These attendees were all leaders of the Donghuang Federation, the heads of their respective national Countermeasures Bureau. As the only priceless gem in the Donghuang Federation with the potential to become [Klein], Chu Yuanqing was naturally the more outstanding the better.

Moreover, that Saintess, having only recently [Lighting Up], was able to bestow upon the entire Saint Wolfgang an almost constant blessing of brilliance to ward off the invasion of the [Calamity Species]. Isn't it only natural that their future Klein Witch of the Eastern Empire has shown some combat potential?

Even if Dream Weaver Rabbit denied the possibility of being comparable to Captain-Class, many people present believed that Chu Yuanqing definitely possessed Combat Power beyond the ordinary, and it would be reasonable to compare him to [Full Bloom].

As for the reason? How could the miracles nurtured by our Donghuang Federation be inferior to those of the Holy United States?

Under this mindset, the [Silver Mirror] that Chu Yuanqing temporarily created with a wish, despite its high aesthetic appeal and fashionable index, was not regarded by everyone as her Destined Magic. Instead, they all felt that she must be hiding her true abilities and would give them a great surprise in the future.

It can only be said that humans are more intuitive and emotional than AI in this respect, and are only willing to believe what they believe, especially at a special moment when [pure white] is about to collapse and civilization is in a life-or-death situation.

In fact, Chu Yuanqing was already the undisputed candidate for [Beacon] in the Donghuang Federation. The reason he is still in the waiting stage is that most of the pressure comes from the Holy United States.

The reason is simple: having two people at [the Lighthouse] can certainly distribute the pressure, theoretically greatly increasing the success rate of that Shine Magic.

However, this is on the premise that the opponent truly possesses the qualities and potential comparable to Charlotte. Otherwise, if they falter, the world-class Shine Magic will suffer significant flaws, resulting in a substantial reduction in its range, quality, intensity, and durability.

The so-called test was largely intended to reassure the Holy United States and to get the Donghuang Federation to set aside its last concerns and place all its bets on the other side.

Chen Zexu stated frankly:

"I believe that Chu Yuanqing, like that Saintess, is qualified to become [the Beacon]."

"As for this, the Holy United States will surely make its own judgment after watching this footage."

"Furthermore, Chu Yuanqing has most likely discovered the true nature of <Flash Dance> and some of the truth about the Calamity Beasts. For [Lighthouse], sincerity in return for sincerity is the only option. We still need to carefully consider our future communications."

The Dream Weaver Rabbit nodded silently.

This is also why it left the troops on standby, allowing the Pure White Witch to leave with her teammates.

If you think about it carefully, this is the second time Chu Yuanqing has seen the Calamity Beasts. Her first battle seemed elegant and calm, but she must have had many doubts in her heart. Only by letting the other party calm down and think for a while can their communication proceed normally.

Inviting them back to the base hastily would only cause unnecessary worry and tension.

At this stage, the top priority for the <Flash Dance> team is to make Chu Yuanqing understand that they have no ill intentions towards him.

The meeting then continued, revolving entirely around how to communicate, how much of the truth to disclose, how to make the request for the "beacon," and a whole host of other issues.

On the other side, the Sacher Hotel.

Chu Yuanqing returned to the suite without any hindrance. She placed the dizzy, Green Eyed Cat on the sofa, looked at its pitiful, trembling appearance, patted the child's head, and began to reflect on whether she had flown too fast.

Come to think of it, this is also my first time flying in Magic Armor.

Yes, it's unexpectedly fast in every sense. If you put all the magic power in as fuel, it's almost subsonic. I don't know if all Magical Girl who have recently Flower Bloom are like this, or if she's just special.

Of course, for the sake of the Little Idol's physical and mental well-being, she flew back slowly, at a speed only slightly faster than a mountain cable car. She really didn't expect to scare Liuli so much.

In contrast,

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket was very lively; her eyes seemed to sparkle with stars as she looked at Chu Yuanqing with adoration and said:

"That's amazing! Xiao Qing can actually fly!"

Kiriwake Yayoi a little envious. If she could fly, her commute wouldn't have been so troublesome when she was an idol. She could definitely have become a great time management master and squeezed out more time to improve herself, making her even more outstanding than she is now.

And...

If this ability were applied to the stage, wouldn't it allow for many world-class, difficult moves?

Little Sakura thought about it more and more and found it amazing, and she was filled with longing for it.

Xie Qingxuan hadn't expected anything so astringent this time. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked over with innocent eyes, asking with earnest concern:

"Xiao Qing, are you really alright? Are you hurt?"

Chu Yuanqing understood that this question did not refer to whether she had been injured in the battle, but rather to whether her old injuries would flare up as a result.

The Pure White Witch felt a pang of gratitude. Qingxuan was so obedient; he knew to ask subtly, preventing Xiao Shu from realizing something was amiss. She used the warmth emanating from the Paper Crane Can to suppress some of the agonizing pain of her shattered soul. Her delicate face softened, her pink lips slightly upturned in a relaxed smile as she comforted her:

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Volume 1: 216. Chu Yuanqing decides to confront the situation and find a mother for his Little Cotton-padded Jacket. (5K)

Xie Qingxuan nodded obediently after hearing this and didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Qing is the type of person who easily forces herself to do things, and even if something is wrong, she won't say it on the spot.

But it doesn't matter. Whether there's a problem or not, it's always good to put in more effort when Magic Replenishment at night. It's best if everyone puts in more effort to amplify the healing effect.

The Golden Haired Doggy transformed her worries about the Pure White Witch into inspiration for Magic Replenishment. With a righteous and determined attitude, she decided to pave the perfect path to redeem Qing Bao!

Well, as for the bittersweet desires in one's heart, it would be best if they could be satisfied along the way.

As for her approach, she already had some initial ideas, but they still needed refinement. She would have to ask Liuli later and then secretly go online to gather the wisdom of the world.

Chu Yuanqing coughed a few times, her cute little face hardening into a serious expression, using a universal formula to block Little Cotton-padded Jacket daughter's curious gaze:

"This incident involves many things, and all I can say is that Magical Girl and those monsters do exist. I can't say anything else, and I hope everyone understands."

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
