Leave the Negative Emotions to Me

--I have no weapons after I transform.

After transforming, Lyla didn't have her own Magical Armament... or rather, in her view, her Magical Armament wasn't even a weapon.

--What Magical Girls fight with their fists...?

The Record Bear's words also came to Fang Ming's mind.

This is Record Bear's assessment of the Magical Girl Aurora. The Magical Girl Aurora uses gauntlets as her weapon, and her familiar fighting style is to fight with her fists.

In addition, there was the red hair hidden beneath Lyla's blonde hair that I saw last night.

Fang Ming had a definite guess in his mind.

Lyla...

Perhaps it's Aurora.

However, since Magical Girls have now become a world-renowned profession, and she herself was photographed being chased, Lyla dyed her hair blonde.

As for the name... perhaps that's why it was changed?

Fang Ming made guesses, but he wasn't foolish enough to directly ask her, "Are you called Aurora?"

If it's not true, that's fine; but if it really is, Lyla will probably be even more wary of Fang Ming.

They might just run away when Fang Ming isn't looking.

It will be difficult to find her then.

So for now, it's best to stay by their side as their combat coach and see how things go.

"Two months is fine!"

Lyla sprang to her feet with a somersault, turned around, and pointed a finger at Fang Ming: "Two months from now, I'll defeat you with pure skill! Just you wait!"

"Okay, keep it up."

"That's too perfunctory! What, you think I can't beat you?! I'm not bragging, but when it comes to fighting, I'm a genius!"

Lyla stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself, looking arrogant.

She was good at fighting even as a child, and when she was almost sold to the Crocodile Brotherhood by her cheap uncle when she grew up, she mastered the skills of fighting and escaping without any formal instruction.

After becoming Magical Girls, she used her fists to beat that monster, which looked like a dead fish, into a pulp!

Therefore, Lyla is quite confident in this regard.

She believed that two months would be enough time for her to hone her skills to the same level as Fang Ming's.

But what Lyla didn't know was that she might indeed be a genius.

But Fang Ming is not.

Fang Ming is a cheater.

So when Fang Ming heard Lyla's ambitious words, he simply smiled kindly and remained silent.

This smile, like an adult looking at a mischievous child, made Lyla's teeth itch with anger. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Just you wait! You'll be sorry in two months!"

"Yes, yes, yes... so what should we have for lunch?"

Fang Ming skillfully changed the subject. Although Lyla was still somewhat unwilling, perhaps because of something Little K said, Fang Ming could see that she clearly swallowed back what she was about to say, and instead crossed her arms and turned her head to say:

"Whatever you want, but it can't be bad. I've seen the Sky Screen, and you seem to be a really good cook!"

"My cooking skills are indeed quite good, but Miss Lyla," Fang Ming said to Lyla with his smile unchanged.

"You're not going to just say it and expect me to be both your coach and your chef, are you?"

"Forehead..."

"Even children know the principle of equivalent exchange—you get what you give. I think you, as an 'adult,' surely know this, right?"

Lyla's expression immediately turned guilty.

Her gaze shifted to the wall beside her, and her voice, no longer as energetic as before, stammered:

"I... I will definitely... pay the fee..."

She probably didn't even believe what she was saying, and her voice grew softer and softer.

Fang Ming's smile widened, and he asked Lyla with a beaming smile:

"Miss Lyla, how do you plan to pay the fee?"

"... I... I can beat people up for you!" Lyla, as if she'd discovered a way to make money, raised her fist and said to Fang Ming, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm now a peripheral henchman for the Skoll Gang! Beating people up is one of my specialties!"

Lyla thought she had found a way to pay the reward, but when she didn't see Lyla Fang Ming hear her words, his smile faded.

He looked at Lyla, who was beaming with pride at having found a 'means of payment', let out a silent sigh, and stopped teasing the girl.

"For now, let's use the Magical Girls information from your side to exchange for payment. As for the shortfall... we'll owe you that for now and pay you later."

"Oh! I didn't expect you to be such a nice person! Haha!"

Lyla's eyes lit up again, and she patted Fang Ming on the back with a hearty laugh. Her carefree demeanor was even more... 'innocent' than Chen Xiaoxia's.

Fang Ming didn't say anything more. He turned around, opened the refrigerator, and looked at the space inside, which was even cleaner Lyla's face, and let out another heavy sigh.

He turned to Lyla and asked:

"Would you like to come with me to buy something? We can buy whatever you like to eat."

"Um... but... I don't have much money on me right now..."

Lyla said with some difficulty.

Fang Ming said helplessly, "I'll buy it for you, but it has to be on your tab. You owe me this, and you'll have to pay me back later."

"... Do you need interest?"

"You can decide on the interest rate."

"Yay!!! Let's go!"

Central Continent District, late at night.

Xiao Chun, who was already in bed preparing to rest, was on the phone chatting with Fang Ming on the other side of the ocean.

As she listened to Fang Ming's narration on the other end of the phone, a lively image of a young girl gradually formed in her mind.

"Huh? So that means the monsters Lyla and the others were fighting weren't actually Demons?"

When asked about the troubles faced by the Magical Girls in the Americas District, Xiao Chun asked curiously.

While being questioned, Xiao Chun swung her two little feet, her toes bumping against each other as she asked her questions.

"I guess so. It's just that we don't know what those monsters look like yet, and Lyla has only been Magical Girls for two months... but in those two months, she's only encountered these monsters twice."

Fang Ming's voice came from the other end.

"So, does that mean things are still peaceful on Lyla's side?"

'Peace... well, at least that's how it is for Magical Girls.'

The environment in the Americas District is far from peaceful, but Lyla is now Magical Girls, so she at least has the ability to protect herself.

Therefore, if we exclude the Magical Girls' enemies, those monsters whose true nature is currently unknown, and the mysterious organizations that track the Magical Girls...

On Lyla's side, there is indeed peace.

"Is that so? That's such a pity. I thought I could help Brother Fang Ming."

Xiao Chun said, half-jokingly.

She knew that even if she wanted to go, Fang Ming probably wouldn't agree, which is why she only said it as a joke.

Fang Ming chuckled on the other end of the phone, saying, "Judging from the current situation, Lyla probably won't encounter any monsters anytime soon, so you really don't need to come."

"Oh, what a pity..."

Xiao Chun sighed with feigned regret, as if she wanted to say something more to Fang Ming.

But just then, a girl's sweet and lovely voice came through the phone.

"Uncle... no, Coach! Can I eat this?"

'... Is this a steak? It seems a bit too big?'

'It's okay! I can eat it!'

'This seems a bit expensive.'

"I'll pay it back later! Don't worry, Coach!"

'... The word "uncle" is superfluous!'

'Okay, Coach, I got it, Coach~~'

The cheerful voice on the other end of the phone faded into the distance with the 'tap tap tap' of footsteps.

Xiao Chun's little feet, which had unconsciously bumped into each other, stopped there, her hair obscuring her eyes.

"Hey... Brother Fang Ming, it seems like you and that girl named Lyla have become quite close..."

'Hmm? Not really. I taught her martial arts, and she told me about Magical Girls here. It's an equal exchange, isn't it?'

"Teaching martial arts... hand-in-hand?"

'Hmm? What else?'

"Hey~ hold my hand..." Xiao Chun's fingertips turned white as she gripped the phone, and the veins on the back of her hand were faintly visible.

Fang Ming, on the other end of the phone, was unaware of Xiao Chun's current state. Perhaps the shopping was over, Fang Ming chose to hang up.

Let's stop here for now, we can chat again later. Go to sleep early, Xiao Chun, goodnight.

"... Goodnight... Brother Fang Ming."

As the two said goodnight to each other, the call ended, followed by a busy tone.

Xiao Chun calmly placed the trembling phone aside, turned around, flopped onto the bed, buried her head in the pillow, and kicked her little feet incessantly.

"Ugh!!! How come there are still 'fish-stealing cats' over there?!"

A muffled sound came from under the pillow.

Although Xiao Chun might have misunderstood, or Xiao Chun might be overthinking things, Xiao Chun rivalry radar still started blaring after hearing Lyla and Fang Ming's conversation on the other side.

Xiao Chun had a premonition that if Fang Ming and that Lyla continued to stay together, given Fang Ming's excellence, Lyla would definitely Fang Ming for him!

No one can resist Fang Ming's charm!!

So...

"I want to go to the Americas District... I absolutely must!"

If we don't go now, our base will be raided!!!

Xiao Chun thought to herself, and her little feet kicked around again.

Chapter 175 Leave the Negative Emotions to Me

The day passed peacefully without incident.

Nothing related to the supernatural happened during that time.

There were no monsters, no gangsters chasing them, no Demons or Nightmare Seed, and no strange creatures appearing.

It seems that apart from Lyla, this Magical Girls, there are no other supernatural powers in the entire Americas District.

Similarly, Fang Ming did not see the blue Magical Girls either.

However, Fang Ming didn't seem anxious about this. He had only been in the Americas District for less than three days and had already found a Magical Girls, which was quite an extraordinary achievement.

Since the monsters here appear less frequently than the Nightmare Seed, perhaps not even one in a month, Fang Ming doesn't need to rush; he can just wait patiently.

Monsters always appear, and so does another Magical Girls.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the Sky Screen projection again.

Lyla was already seated below the Sky Screen, waiting for the projection to Sky Screen. Fang Ming sat opposite Lyla, and together they looked up at the Sky Screen.

After a day of anxious waiting, just as the Sky Screen started playing, the barrage of comments almost completely blocked out the screen, forcing Fang Ming to ignore them.
