If She Wants It, Just Give It to Her!?

Furthermore, traditional Magical Girls are always characterized by positive emotions, which means that any traditional Magical Girls is a kind-hearted good girl.

Given these prerequisites, Magical Girls don't need much restraint; they will restrain themselves.

They will know how to use their power effectively; the authorities only need to provide them with a platform and maximum support.

If they can't even do something like this, then what's the point of having an official body?

They might as well disband now!

"This..." He Xuan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, finally saying helplessly, "I will report your conditions to my superiors..."

"This isn't a question of whether you react or not."

Xiao Bai interrupted He Xuan directly, saying softly, "I'm just giving you a heads-up. If you can't do this, I will lead the Magical Girls to establish a Magical Girls organization independent of any other organization."

"This... this is impossible! The higher-ups would never agree to this—"

"Oh, so you mean that even though Magical Girls possess extraordinary powers, and currently only Magical Girls can deal with Demons, you still want to control Magical Girls and harbor unwarranted hostility towards them—"

As Xiao Bai finished speaking, her eyes turned dangerous. "--You mean that, right?"

As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, the air in the room instantly turned icy cold.

Chapter 140 She wants it, so you give it to her!?

Xiao Bai's accusation left He Xuan speechless.

She wanted to say that wasn't the case, that it was impossible for the higher-ups to actually be hostile towards the Magical Girls.

But when He Xuan thought of the Federation... especially those 'Radical Faction' from the Americas District and Europe District, she couldn't say anything.

Her reaction made Xiao Bai's expression turn cold:

"Some of you actually want to do this?!"

She thought that no matter how stupid the Federation was, it couldn't possibly treat Magical Girls as enemies.

To reiterate, given that only Magical Girls are known to be able to deal with Demons, the Federation has virtually no other power to resist Demons besides relying on Magical Girls.

In this situation, according to normal human logic, even if one doesn't grant the Magical Girls the highest authority, one should at least ensure that she is never offended.

But are there actually people in the Federation who want to harm Magical Girls?

He Xuan was speechless; she could only helplessly say:

"Indeed, there are some people... who want to study the power of Magical Girls."

The exploration of the unknown is something that humankind has always been doing.

The newly emerging power and element of magic has aroused an extremely strong curiosity among humankind.

It's impossible to say that you're not curious about the power of Magical Girls or don't want to master magic.

Xiao Bai understood, so she said, "If it's just a thought, that's fine, but... if you dare to put it into action..."

Xiao Bai is not Xiao Qiu; she is not as kind as Xiao Qiu. If such people really exist, she wouldn't mind letting them know what cruelty is.

Xiao Bai thought that even the dumbest person couldn't be that stupid.

But looking at He Xuan's expression, she knew she was wrong.

Even a novice like Xiao Bai couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw He Xuan's silent expression:

"Don't tell me someone has actually started taking action!"

"... In the Americas District, aren't there two suspected Magical Girls? People over there are trying to find them... because they didn't appear in the Sky Screen, making them the best... research subjects."

Bang!

Unable to contain himself, Xiao Bai stood up and slammed his fist on He Xuan's table. The table made a loud noise, and it even sounded like it was breaking.

Xiao Bai ignored all of that; she gazed intently at He Xuan.

"How dare you! Attack Magical Girls? How dare you do this!"

Does their absence from the Sky Screen mean we can take action against them?

Even if those Magical Girls never appeared in the Sky Screen, does that mean they aren't Magical Girls?

Who can guarantee they won't appear in the Sky Screen in the future?

Who can guarantee they won't be the main characters in a certain series?

Are those people in the Federation out of their minds? Don't they have brains?!

"Calm down, Xiao Bai!"

He Xuan was startled by Xiao Bai's actions, and she quickly said to Xiao Bai:

"We can't do anything about the situation in the Americas District. The Investigation Department's influence is limited, and the Magical Girls' authority is only effective in the Central Continent District, so..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai took a deep breath. She looked at He Xuan coldly, no longer caring about what happened in the Americas District, and asked:

"Who are the higher-ups connected to the Investigation Department?"

Why are you asking this?

"You want to use me as a 'knife'? Fine, then let me show you just how sharp this 'knife' really is."

Beneath Xiao Bai expression lay hidden anger.

She hadn't expected that some people in the Federation wouldn't target Xiao Qiu and the others, but instead set their sights on another Magical Girls!

The current situation of the two Magical Girls in the Americas District is still unknown. They may have become Magical Girls by signing a contract with Nino, a survivor from the Magical Creatures' Homeland.

It's also possible that she formed a contract with Magical Creatures like Youyou, who luckily escaped from the clutches of Demons, and became Magical Girls.

If it's the former, it's not so bad. Influenced by their kind nature, even if they are targeted by the Federation, they shouldn't cause any major trouble.

What I fear most is the latter!

A few Magical Creatures who barely retained their original intentions and escaped from the Demons made a contract with a local girl to secretly protect humanity from the Demons' invasion.

But because of the Federation's stupid actions, they completely switched sides to the Demons, and that's the real trouble!

Therefore, Xiao Bai did not intend to wait any longer; she wanted to eliminate the resistance to the Investigation Department within the Central Continent District as quickly as possible.

The Magical Girls organization must become completely independent and no longer be affected by anything or anyone!

Xu Chen, the nominal head of the Investigation Department, is still looking at the files in his hands with a headache.

The two girls who appeared in the Americas District, suspected of possessing supernatural powers, are currently unclear to the Investigation Department as to whether they are Magical Girls.

Most importantly, the Investigation Department's current scope of investigation is only in the Central Continent District... or more precisely, in the Northern Province where Spring City is located.

Further afield, the Investigation Department has no authority to conduct investigations at all.

It's not that they don't want to go, it's that their superiors aren't willing to give them permission.

With the possibility of a Demons invasion, most people are still choosing to wait and see, focusing on the little power they hold and worrying that the establishment of the Investigation Department will take away their share of the "cake".

After all, isn't the Demons still coming?

It's not too late to talk about it when the time comes.

Many people share this view, and the thoughts of the Central Continent District's high-ranking officials alone cannot influence the entire Federation.

Even the authority granted to the Northern Province was forcibly secured by the district council speaker of the Central Continent District.

Otherwise... the Investigation Department probably has no power other than some money.

Therefore, forget about investigating Magical Girls in other regions. The Americas District might have already divided up most of the profits, leaving no room for the Investigation Department to interfere.

"Well."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

He was considered a 'Pro-War Faction' within the Federation, advocating for advance planning and training more Magical Girls to fight against the Demons.

That's why Xu Chen became the head of the Investigation Department.

There are actually quite a few 'Pro-War Faction' figures like Xu Chen, but the problem is that there are also quite a few 'Conservative Faction' like those in the Americas District.

They claim that the Demons have not yet descended, and that apart from the cities of Spring City and Rock City, nothing related to Demons or magic has ever appeared in other regions.

Most people, at least two-thirds of the councilors in the Federation, believed that the arrival of the Demons was nothing but alarmism.

The changes that occurred in just two cities are nothing compared to the seven major regions, thousands of provinces, and hundreds of millions of cities in the Federation.

For this one hair, we have to consume the resources of others to fight against unseen Demons... Even a fool knows how to calculate this.

Therefore, Xu Chen and his ilk became idiots who were even worse than 'fools'.

They are not part of the mainstream, so they cannot gain much support, and Xu Chen is powerless to change the situation in the Americas District.

That's why Xu Chen wanted Xiao Bai to manage the Investigation Department.

At least in Xiao Bai's hands, there's the "knife" that those "shrewd fools" want to see.

It's just a pity that Xiao Bai doesn't seem to have any interest in the Investigation Department right now...

Just as Xu Chen was thinking this, he saw Vice Minister He Xuan suddenly run over in a panic and say:

"Minister! Something terrible has happened! Just now, Xiao Bai... Xiao Bai came to see me, asked for a list, and then left!"

"What?!"

Xu Chen suddenly stood up and looked at He Xuan: "What list!? You gave it to her!?"

"It's... it's a partial list of... the Conservative Faction in the Central Continent District... Xiao Bai insisted on having it, so I..."

"...?"

Xu Chen was stunned by He Xuan's answer.

He took a second to understand He Xuan's words, and then the corners of his mouth curved upwards almost imperceptibly. But after glancing at the office camera, his face quickly darkened, and he pointed at He Xuan, saying:

"Nonsense! You just give it to her because she wants it! Oh dear! You've gotten yourself into big trouble!"

Xu Chen sighed and looked anxious. He plopped down in a chair and covered his face with his hands, looking extremely worried.

He Xuan remained silent as she watched Xu Chen cover his face.

Wasn't this list prepared in advance by you...?

He Xuan wanted to say that, but with her boss looking so worried, He Xuan couldn't bring herself to actually say it.

She could only stand silently beside Xu Chen, looking completely lost.

Just as the two were in silence, the landline on Xu Chen's desk suddenly rang.

Without much hesitation, Xu Chen waited only two seconds before picking up the phone and asking:

"Hello?"

"Minister Xu, right..." A man's voice came from the phone. The voice sounded rather old, indicating that the person on the other end of the line was quite old.

Xu Chen was taken aback upon hearing the voice and asked, "Councilor Zhao? What are you doing here...?"

This Councilor Zhao is the leader of the 'Conservative Faction' in the Central Continent District, why would he suddenly call him?

Before Xu Chen could figure it out, he heard Councilor Zhao say:

"I will submit your Investigation Department's request to open branches in other regions..."

'Um?'

A questioning voice came from the other end of the phone. Upon hearing this, Representative Zhao immediately changed his tune, saying, "... I will definitely find a way to get it approved by the higher-ups, and also..."

'Stop rambling on, give me the phone.'

The man next to Councilor Zhao was clearly getting impatient; he snatched the phone and said to Xu Chen:

"Minister Xu, it's me."

"Miss... Miss Xiao Bai..."

"Didn't you want me to stand up for the Investigation Department? Now I have, but from today onwards, the Investigation Department will no longer be the Investigation Department. It will be temporarily renamed the [Magical Girl Alliance] and will no longer be bound by the Federation, becoming independent of all political systems."

"The Investigation Department's authority remains unchanged, but apart from providing necessary funding and technical support, the Investigation Department has no management or control over the Magical Girls."

"I wonder if Minister Xu is satisfied with this arrangement?"

Xiao Bai said in a cold voice.
