The Mindless Magical Girl? I Picked Her Up and Remade Her! Chapter 20

Late into the night, the finally satisfied Meng Yue curled up on Bai Yu like a kitten. But at that moment, she suddenly blinked and revealed a strange expression...

I clearly didn't care anymore, yet just as I was letting go of the past... why did memories of it suddenly surface in my mind?

Although Meng Yue still couldn't remember her real name, she recalled something from when she used to work part-time... how a scummy boss had cheated her out of her wages!

And when she was bullied... the homeroom teacher who sided with the bullies, as well as how she later dropped out of school.

How strange... Why was she remembering such things when she was feeling so sweet and happy?

"Hey~~~ Master, if a little kitten makes a mistake, would you get angry?"

Lying atop Bai Yu, Meng Yue asked the exhausted, barely conscious Bai Yu in a seductive voice... one so soft it melted him to the bone.

"As long as it's not a matter of principle... I'll only be happy to punish you..."

"Is that so? Just as I thought?"

Licking her lips, Meng Yue smiled. "Then I'm relieved~~~"

The Despicable Are Praised Among Monsters~~

Bai Yu had no idea how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes... sure enough, it felt as though his entire body were about to fall apart!

It couldn't be helped. Meng Yue's magical power was far greater than his! And he had to spare magical power to resist the Purification power entering his body, so it was perfectly normal for him to lose to Meng Yue again. If it had been a more ordinary Magical Girl, she would have been the one unable to get out of bed by now!

"Damn it... Looks like I shouldn't play so wildly until she's completely transformed."

Lying on the bed like a complete couch potato, Bai Yu stared at the ceiling and muttered. Come to think of it, she seemed to have asked him something last night, but he had been far too sleepy at the time to remember it clearly—

Just then, the phone beside Bai Yu's bed suddenly rang. He casually picked it up and answered...

"Leader, there's something I'd like to confirm with you."

Black Bear Executive's voice came from the other end. It asked, "Fallen Cat Executive was leading a team out on your orders, right?"

"Huh?"

Bai Yu's mind immediately filled with question marks when he heard that! He instinctively replied, "When did I tell her to lead a team out?"

"Huh?"

Bai Yu's words made Black Bear Executive sound confused as well. It immediately said, "This morning... Fallen Cat Executive took one hundred soldiers under her command and headed out. When I asked what she was doing, she said she was carrying out an order from you... After hearing that, I even lent her my own troops!"

"Huh?"

Bai Yu abruptly sat up, but just as he was about to speak, his waist suddenly gave out. Helplessly, after doing a sit-up, he fell back onto the bed again...

"Old Black, she didn't say where she was going, did she?"

"There's no way she'd tell me that!"

"Fine..."

Rubbing his waist, Bai Yu said speechlessly, "Arrange for someone to find her location first. At least we need to know what she's doing, right? I... I'll come over later!"

"Yes! I'll contact the people I lent her as well..."

Wang Jian was a bar owner. Because he diligently paid tribute, his bar received all kinds of protection from the Knights' Order. As a result, there was quite a bit of shady business going on inside...

In his expectations, his business would only grow bigger and bigger! Today, Wang Jian was also flipping through this month's account books in his office, the fat on his face trembling continuously with his smile. Then, a thunderous crash froze that smile on the spot—

"Bang!"

After a burst of noise, the bar counter was smashed to pieces! Standing in the bar was a gray wolf-headed monster. It commanded the monsters under it with a roar, "Smash it all! Fallen Cat Executive said to wreck this bar so badly that no one can tell it used to be a bar!"

"Yee!!!"

The monster soldiers all answered in unison. While smashing things, some of them directly carried off the expensive liquor from the cabinets. When Wang Jian came out and saw this scene, he nearly died of high blood pressure!

"No... Why..."

Watching the work of his life being smashed into a complete mess, Wang Jian immediately collapsed weakly to the floor! He watched the monsters run wild through the bar in despair, completely helpless. If ordinary people had come to make trouble, he could have called his thugs... But with a whole group of monsters here, what could he possibly use to resist them?

But Wang Jian couldn't understand! He truly couldn't understand why the monsters had specifically come to his bar to smash, rob, and loot it. Weren't they supposed to target only those who had committed heinous crimes? He merely did a little shady business... There were so many people like that in Starry Sky City, so why had they singled him out?

Of course, Wang Jian never could have imagined that some time ago, a girl had worked here as a waitress for a month. Seeing how pretty she was, he had wanted to trick her into doing flesh trade for him. After she sternly refused, he became enraged and fired her on the spot. Naturally, he never paid her a single cent of her wages either...

"Oh, right. Fallen Cat Executive said this place definitely isn't clean."

Only then did Gray Wolf Monster realize something. It told a monster soldier, "Go to the owner's office and see if you can find any evidence to post online!"

"Yee!"

Golden Cloud High School was a well-regarded private school. Today was a weekday, and the students were attending classes as normal. Everything seemed perfectly fine... until a large number of monster soldiers appeared at the school gate.

"Long time no see~~~"

Meng Yue, wearing a cat-faced mask, stretched her body. Then she raised her right hand, which had transformed into a cat's claw, and fiercely slapped it toward the school gate—

"Bang!"

With a thunderous explosion, Meng Yue strode into the campus with an arrogant swagger. More than a hundred monster soldiers swarmed in after her, leaving only the dumbfounded old guard in the security booth...

"All right, everyone!"

Walking up to a fountain, Meng Yue raised her claw with a ferocious smile. "From now on, destroy this place to your heart's content!"

As soon as she spoke, Meng Yue smashed the fountain before her into a pile of rubble with one swipe! Afterward, she even raised her claw and lightly cupped her cheek, saying in a fascinated tone, "Not bad~~~ This feeling of destroying things~~~"

"Yee!!!"

Upon receiving the order, the hundred-plus monster soldiers immediately scattered and began wrecking everything! Before long, all kinds of noises rang out across the once peaceful campus. Meng Yue picked up a stone from the ground and accurately threw it toward the principal's office in the distance—

"Ah!!"

"Ha ha ha—Serves you right~~~"

Hearing the principal's scream in the distance, Meng Yue immediately burst into delighted laughter! But just as she was about to go find a few of her "good friends," a familiar voice suddenly rang beside her—

"Despicable monsters! You even invaded a place like a school. You're truly shameless!"

Tch...

Meng Yue curled her lips and turned around. The familiar red-haired girl stood there with a katana pointed at her, while the lazy-looking blonde girl stood beside her.

"Among monsters, being called despicable is a compliment~~~"

Looking at the indignant red-haired girl, Meng Yue lifted her chin and spoke in a teasing tone. This was something Master had once told her during a casual chat, and now she had the perfect chance to use it!

"You—"

"And since you've called me despicable, then I'll have to be despicable to the very end~~~"

Poking her lips with a finger, Meng Yue chuckled. "If I were to release poisonous gas here, how would you ensure the safety of all these students?"

"You—"

Looking at the hateful female monster before her, Crimson Blade inexplicably felt her blood pressure rising! Even Xinghua wore a somewhat surprised expression. This was the first time she had encountered this kind of monster.

A Brief Note About the Recent Six Updates

I said in the group before that I'd update however many times the dice rolled, but I never expected it to roll a six that day! That's ridiculous!

I was supposed to do six updates today, but sorry, I suddenly need to adjust an important plot point, so I'll move it to tomorrow or the day after. There'll only be two updates tonight for now.

Also—I always thought it was one update per five hundred monthly tickets. I never expected it to be fifty! And people are voting so fiercely with monthly tickets too. I thought they were something hard to get.

I was originally going to turn off this crazy reward thing, since I apparently already owe seventy updates, but the group members... Anyway, I'll turn it off in another day. At this rate, I don't even know if I can repay them before the story ends. I casually copied this reward system—who knew it would be this ridiculous!

By the way... the group number is 828917145. I need people to discuss the recent plot with! Anyone interested can join. I'll update again in a bit~~~

Listen to Me, Meow~~~

The monster executives Xinghua had encountered in the past all possessed a certain degree of pride. They disdained using excessively despicable methods to fight Magical Girls. Taking people hostage... aside from the Monster Leader, no other monster had ever done that!

Although Meng Yue had once said that even if the Monster Organization took ordinary people hostage, it would be useless against her! Her Purification power would not harm humans, so even if monsters kidnapped humans, she could attack both at once! But that was one thing to say—she had never once had the chance to use that tactic...

"Those evil monsters don't even know how to use such a simple tactic as taking hostages? Doesn't that make me look stupid for specifically thinking about such things?"

Xinghua remembered Meng Yue saying that at the time. Back then, Meng Yue had already become too invincible—so invincible that she had begun to grow bored and started hoping monsters would come up with some new tricks...

Yet now, this shameless monster had finally appeared, but Meng Yue happened to be absent... That was truly a pity for her.

"It's okay, Crimson Blade. Don't let her scare you."

Walking forward, Xinghai patted Crimson Blade on the shoulder and reminded her, "Her poisonous gas needs time to spread. It's not as if every student will be poisoned the instant she exhales. If she opens her mouth to release poison, can't we just attack her?"

"R-Right!"

Hearing her sister's words, Crimson Blade immediately raised her katana and shouted, "Despicable monster! Your trick has been exposed. Be destroyed obediently!"

"Hee hee~~~ Is that really how it is?"

Meng Yue revealed a mocking smile and said frivolously, "Do you two weak~~~ Magical Girls really think you can destroy me?"

Weak? Was she talking about me?

Xinghua's expression froze at Meng Yue's words. Calling Crimson Blade weak was one thing... but she actually called me weak? Did she think that just because she had caught me off guard once, she could control me from now on?

Last time, I was merely careless. If I got serious, you'd be shot through before you could even touch me. Are you really unaware of that?

"Don't waste words with her."

Thinking this, Xinghua raised the bow in her hand. She nocked an arrow and aimed it at Meng Yue... With the release of her fingers, a tracking arrow that would only materialize upon hitting its target would fly out. Before doing so, Xinghua still cast an uneasy glance at Crimson Blade, worried that she would get caught and used as a shield again at the crucial moment.

Fortunately, Crimson Blade was covered in red light, looking as though all her magical power was concentrated, and from such a distance, that female monster should not be able to catch her... So there should be no problem!

Silver Star Arrow—Fire!

Xinghua released her fingers, and the arrow shot fiercely toward Meng Yue! Like a silver meteor, the long arrow streaked to Meng Yue's front, about to pierce into her chest—

You'd better have regeneration on the level of that crocodile. Otherwise, this arrow will make you suffer!

Seeing Meng Yue still make no move to dodge, Xinghua happily thought that the arrow was bound to hit. After all, monsters differed in their rate of bodily regeneration. Taking a severed hand as an example, the fastest Monster Leader could grow a new hand in half a second, while Demon Crocodile Executive needed around three seconds. Slower monsters like Black Bear Executive and White Horse Cadre needed over five minutes, and weaker monsters required even longer.

In Xinghua's eyes, if Meng Yue lacked Demon Crocodile Executive's regenerative ability, she would suffer at Xinghua's hands just like White Horse Cadre had—

However, at the instant before the arrow struck, Xinghua watched helplessly as the female monster seemingly teleported to a spot one meter to the left. The arrow simply flew past behind her... without even touching the monster's body!

"Yawn~~~ That was way too slow, meow~~~"

Tilting her head, Meng Yue opened her mouth and yawned. Then she blinked her purple cat eyes and said, "An arrow this slow isn't even as fast as the threads Master shoots~~~"

"What—"

Xinghua stared in shock, seemingly unable to believe that the arrow she had fired with all her strength had been dodged so easily!

"It's not over yet—"

At that moment, Xinghua willed it... The arrow she had just fired curved around and shot toward the back of Meng Yue's head. Yet this time, Meng Yue casually glanced behind herself, tilted her body, and dodged it once more...

"Too weak, too weak~~~ Is this all you can do??"

Covering her mouth with one hand, Meng Yue laughed. "With strength like this, you can't possibly make Lady Fallen Cat get serious~~~"

"Then we'll use numbers!"

At that moment, Crimson Blade suddenly raised her katana and shouted, "Crimson Sword Rain!!!"

In an instant, a vast number of crimson longswords appeared in the air. Crimson Blade gritted her teeth and swung her katana toward Meng Yue, and countless swords rained down upon Meng Yue like droplets of rain—

"Bang bang bang—"

The sword rain repeatedly slammed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust around Meng Yue...

"I told you, if you keep using this move, your Magic Core won't be able to handle it..."

Seeing the pained look on Crimson Blade's face, Xinghua frowned... But with so many longswords striking at once, no matter how fast that female monster was—

No! That girl had vanished!

Yet immediately afterward, Xinghua saw through the dust that Meng Yue was no longer inside it! She had slipped away somewhere long ago—

"Watch out—"

"Whoosh!"

Before Xinghua could even finish speaking, a needle-like object too fast for the naked eye shot in from the side. It struck the red light armor at Crimson Blade's waist, pierced through it, and stabbed into the flesh beneath...
