Nini

The magic of green.

Lin Yun knew, of course, who they were talking about.

There is only one magical girl like Bai Jingxuan, who participated in the attack on the orphanage and whose true identity was apparently discovered by Tian Sheng, the former caregiver.

Was Tian Sheng's change related to Bai Jingxuan? This was a possibility Lin Yun had never considered before.

Bai Jingxuan is a unique Offsetter, even among magical girls, and possesses extremely rare healing magic. Lin Yun is well aware of these things. But what does this have to do with Tian Sheng's unexpected good fortune after being sewn into the Aberrant Beast?

This falls into Lin Yun's area of blind spot.

He truly knew very little about the mysteries of the Offsetter identity, and he had no idea what other secrets Bai Jingxuan might hold. Therefore, even though Tian Sheng raised this possibility with him, he couldn't offer any useful reply.

--Should I ask about Emerald in a couple of days?

Walking back to the Secret Base, Larkspur, now in her magical girl form, pondered these thoughts.

She couldn't think of a better solution at the moment.

As the chief of the Research Institute, Emerald should possess some knowledge related to the Offsetter, and asking her should yield some clues. Before we parted today, Emerald had also mentioned that I could go to her, so going to her in person to inquire shouldn't be presumptuous.

But isn't it all a bit too much of a coincidence?

The other party had just mentioned in the afternoon that she could consult them about her questions, but then she encountered something she didn't understand that evening. This made Larkspur feel that there was some unpleasant scheming involved.

After entering the community gate and greeting the security guard who was already used to it, Larkspur walked thoughtfully to the door of the Secret Base and took out the key from her pocket.

Click.

Before she could even insert the key into the lock, the door in front of her suddenly opened.

"Larkspur! You're back!" Lin Xiaolu jumped out of the door, as excited as a puppy waiting for its owner at home, opening her arms as if she wanted to hug her.

"Yes, I'm back."

Larkspur gently touched Lin Xiaolu's hand. "Is there anything unusual around here today?"

"No, there haven't been any attacks by Aberrant Beast, not even traffic accidents."

Lin Xiaolu still hadn't given up on hugging him, stretching her arms forward again, only to find that Larkspur was still firmly blocking her way. She could only stop somewhat reluctantly. "Don't worry, we're not the newbies we were at the beginning!"

The two were discussing Lin Xiaolu's safety in Luoming District today.

With the events of the Full Moon Festival over, and because she needed to recover from her injuries, and because the three little ones had shown remarkable growth during the incident, Larkspur began to encourage them to manage the city in sections like true magical girls.

Lin Xiaolu is in charge of Luoming District, Xia Liang is in charge of Sunset District, and Bai Jingxuan is in charge of Dawnstar District. The three magical girls each deal with the Aberrant Beast and unexpected events in their respective areas. They only seek help from their companions when they encounter enemies that they cannot handle alone.

This attempt has been going on for over a week, and so far, the results are quite good.

During this period, two attacks by the Aberrant Beast occurred in Fangting City, one in Lin Xiaolu's Luoming District and the other in Bai Jingxuan's Dawnstar District. Both of them managed to defeat the Aberrant Beast on their own without sustaining any serious injuries.

And today, according to Lin Xiaolu's account, nothing particularly special seems to have happened.

Feeling a little relieved, Larkspur pushed open the door and entered the foyer. She chatted with Lin Xiaolu about some trivial family matters before slowly walking into the living room.

In fact, Lin Xiaolu's current friendly and proactive behavior is a recent development, occurring only within the last two weeks. Before this, although she had expressed admiration and adoration for Larkspur, it had never been as exaggerated as it has been in recent days.

This Larkspur bewildered yet slightly pleased—who would mind if their daughter were closer to them?

The two entered the living room together and saw Xia Liang sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw Larkspur and Lin Xiaolu coming from the entrance, she raised her hand and greeted them with a smile.

A commotion came from the restaurant nearby. A small pink dog with flapping wings flew slowly over, followed by a dejected pink kitten.

Good evening, Lady Cornflower.

The pink puppy Fairy said to the Larkspur, "Dinner is ready. Would you like to eat now?"

This pink little Fairy is none other than Nini, the previous Seeder originally designated by Fangting City.

Having secretly helped Larkspur via telephone, it was only after Moss was killed that Nini was rescued from the Anomaly Countermeasures Bureau. At that time, Nini was already on the verge of death when she was rescued.

Fortunately, Fairy are known for their strong vitality. After breaking free from the control of Black Ash Dawn, Nini regained her mobility in no time. In this respect, she recovered even faster than Larkspur.

As the senior that Moko originally wanted to rely on, Nini was naturally a very mature and qualified Seeder. She not only possessed comprehensive knowledge and impeccable manners, but also had excellent culinary skills. To express her gratitude for being rescued, Nini had been living in the Secret Base these days, taking charge of preparing all the meals.

Unlike Moko, who only knows how to eat, Nini, with the power of a single Fairy, is able to take care of the daily meals of all the magical girls, and her meals are impeccable in both taste and nutritional balance.

In addition, it can accurately provide data on magical energy changes during the magical girls' training; predict the approximate location before the Aberrant Beast attacks; and handle relationships with various parties in a mature and thoughtful manner. It can be said that it was only after meeting Nini that the magical girls of Fangting City finally understood why Magical Girl Squad in other cities were centered around the Seeder.

Even after spending a few days with Nini, Lin Xiaolu strongly demanded that Moko be replaced and Nini be put back in her place.

Unfortunately, Nini declined.

"No matter how perfect my performance is now, I am still an unqualified Seeder in Fangting City. I failed to protect the magical girls I signed, and I have no face to continue serving Seeder here."

It stated. "Moreover, the Royal Court's transfer is absolute. Since Moko has already been appointed as the Seeder here, my position is effectively revoked, and I need to return to the Kingdom to await further orders."

As for why it's still here, the reason is actually quite simple—to discipline Moko.

This is why Moko looks so listless.

Nini is very respectful and friendly towards the magical girls, but she treats Moko like a devilish drill instructor, scolding Moko harshly every day. Moko, who never backs down, doesn't dare to show any temper in front of Nini, much to the surprise of the three little ones.

Faced with Nini's strict discipline, Moko was like a child who had made a mistake, obediently accepting the punishment without daring to talk back. As for today, no one knew what had happened before, but it seemed to have been scolded again.

Larkspur's gaze swept over the dejected Moko, paused slightly, but she didn't say anything more. She stood in the corridor, looking around, and suddenly asked:

Where is the Bo Xue?

"Xiao Xuan went back to the orphanage today, supposedly to look for something. She won't be at the Secret Base tonight."

Xia Liang, who was standing nearby, replied, "What do you want to ask her, senior? I'll send a message in the group for you."

"Isn't he/she here?"

Larkspur blinked, then shook her head after hearing Xia Liang's suggestion. "Let's forget about it then, it's not something that's urgent."

Bai Jingxuan rarely returns to the welfare home, and she must have things to say to the familiar caregivers and friends, so there's no need to take up any more of her time.

That's what the Larkspur thought.

The changes that had occurred to Tian Sheng didn't seem to have any negative effects. Neither Tian Sheng nor Larkspur were in a hurry to resolve their current doubts; putting it off for a day wouldn't hurt.

I'll find Bai Jingxuan tomorrow night.

With these thoughts in mind, the Larkspur sat down at the dining table with the Fairy and younger generation to prepare for dinner.

In fact, her thinking at this moment was not wrong; the changes in Tian Sheng were indeed not a big deal. However, she never expected that her next meeting with Bai Jingxuan would happen in a completely unexpected way.

The next day, Bai Jingxuan, who had just returned from the orphanage, went to the Anomaly Countermeasures Bureau alone and then barged into the director's office.
