Chased by Magical Girls After Becoming Their Enemy

Under the maple tree, Luo Xiyan put away the skirt she had received and followed after her.

"Looks like I can get some new material again~"

Chapter 102: Dancing Across the Sky

Though it was already night, the first floor of the convention was packed with people.

Crowding the lobby, looking this way and that, everyone wore all kinds of strange costumes.

There were older girls in blue wigs and maid outfits, "knights" wearing iron helmets, paper armor, and carrying plastic shields, as well as plenty of people dressed in Lolita and JK uniforms. It was a dazzling, overwhelming sight.

Ling Feng knew conventions could be exciting, but this immediate "great start" still caught her a little off guard.

Ling Feng was only here to complete her mission, so the more people there were, the easier it would be for her to blend in.

But things did not always go as one wished. Sometimes, being too pretty was not a good thing. Sure enough, quite a few people had already noticed her.

"Miss, miss, can I take a picture with you?"

A young man dressed in a Balala the Fairies cosplay outfit shyly walked up to her. It was so absurd that Ling Feng nearly spat.

"She's so pretty, so cute! No, I can't hold it in anymore! Who has tissues? Lend me some!!"

"What's that supposed to be? I'm already anemic! Someone, come hold me up!"

"Big sis, big sis, can you give me an autograph?"

Hearing a childish voice from below, Ling Feng instinctively looked down. A little girl in a princess dress was gazing at her excitedly, holding out a sketchbook in her tiny hands. She was utterly adorable.

"Of course~"

"Thank you, big sis!"

Ling Feng did not refuse. She crouched down and patted the little girl's head.

After all, she could not possibly refuse such an adorable little girl. Letting this chance slip by would be a sin.

After getting the autograph, the little girl beamed with joy and happily ran off with her sketchbook.

Ling Feng did not turn down the others who asked for photos or autographs either.

If such an insignificant little thing could make someone happy, what was there not to do? Helping others was good!

Standing in the exhibition hall and looking around, she saw countless people cosplaying Mai-senpai, Masked Rider, Rem, Saitama, Naruto, Shinnosuke Nohara, Kagome Higurashi, Kagura, Kanna, Tooru Maki, Kirito, Kurenai Mine, Bing, Kaguya-hime, Sakuragi Koyuki, Sakuno Ryuzaki, Tomoka Osakada, An Tachibana, and more...

It was a perfect, colorful living painting, a feast for the eyes.

"Hi, I'm high school detective Shinichi Kudo. When I went to an amusement park with my childhood friend Ran Mouri, I happened to witness a transaction involving the Black Organization."

"At the time, I was too busy spying on the deal and overlooked another accomplice approaching from behind. That person forced poison down my throat, and when I woke up, my voice actor had changed."

At the same time, Ling Feng heard several people doing anime character voice impressions and could not help laughing.

So embarrassing. But sorry, the serious looks on your faces... ahem... I really can't hold it in...

"I'll punish you in the name of the moon!"

"Cough!!"

"Usagi Tsukino?!"

"I'm the man who'll become the Pirate King!"

"Luffy?"

"Monster, let go of my grandpa!"

"Calabash Brothers?"

"No, no!"

Ling Feng shook her head. She swore that when she had gone to a convention with Zhao Ping last time, people had definitely not been this crazy. At most, they had shaken hands or taken photos, right?

It definitely was not like this. This had to be an accident!

That was right!

Ling Feng even went to check the men's restroom. Unfortunately, aside from that person from earlier, she did not see the crossdressing expert she had imagined. Instead, a group of grown men all stared at her with strange looks.

I didn't go to the wrong place, did I? Could it be that this pretty lady wants to...

Eh-heh?!

Ptooey, ptooey!

No wild thoughts allowed!

Still, there really were a lot of Magical Girls cosplayers at this convention. Ling Feng even saw a girl wearing the exact same dress as a Magical Girl she had fought before.

"Hey, are you sure that isn't the same person?"

Meanwhile...

Somewhere on the second floor of the convention...

"Hello, miss. Can I take a photo with you?" a boy asked timidly and carefully.

"No time."

Without even turning around, the girl gave him that flat reply. The boy froze at once.

He had originally held onto a sliver of hope. If he could have a nice conversation with such a beautiful, enchanting girl, it would have been beyond anything he could dream of!

But that single response shattered his defenses. He immediately ran off crying, shouting through his tears.

"S-Sorry! I bothered you!!"

Yet the girl remained completely unmoved.

The pure and beautiful girl, whose looks were breathtaking, had been leaning against the glass railing on the second floor the whole time.

Quite a few people who had gone up to strike up a conversation with her during this time had been discouraged one after another.

Like this boy who had just been rejected, his beautiful fantasies and expectations had already been torn to pieces.

But the girl did not care. She continued writing in the little notebook in her hands at an unhurried pace, occasionally glancing down at someone in the first-floor lobby.

No one knew what she was recording, but the faint smile at the corner of her lips proved that she was happy.

Heartwarming~

Chapter 103: A Hug, Peace and Tranquility

"May I have an autograph?"

Ling Feng had just dealt with a few more people and was about to ask Xi He whether her mission was complete when another gentle, pleasant voice came from behind her.

Ling Feng first let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, her willpower was strong enough that she had not immediately agreed without thinking.

If she went home this late, she would get scolded again. As for staying out all night, that was even less possible. Whenever she thought of Ling Xiaoyu's smiling face, Ling Feng got goosebumps all over.

Because that was merely the calm before the storm.

"Sorry, I have something to do, so I need to first... first..."

"Xi... Xiyan?! You came too?"

The moment Ling Feng turned around, she saw that beautiful, familiar face. Meeting the girl's gentle gaze, Ling Feng's heart nearly fell completely.

Even standing amid the crowd, she was as eye-catching as a crane among chickens.

Girl, do you usually just appear and disappear like a ghost?

Thinking about how this girl would always suddenly appear when she least expected it, Ling Feng broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she calmed herself down in time.

"Is that not okay?"

Luo Xiyan looked directly at Ling Feng with gentle eyes, making Ling Feng's heart race and leaving her feeling uncomfortable all over.

"It... it's okay..."

"Then can I have a photo with you?"

"Huh?" Before Ling Feng could finish speaking, Luo Xiyan added another request and took a step forward.

Perhaps because she felt the girl's powerful pressure, Ling Feng instinctively took a step back, the tension in her heart growing stronger.

Luo Xiyan's presence was simply too overwhelming. Ling Feng felt unable to face her directly.

"Then can I hug you?" Luo Xiyan continued. Her footsteps still did not stop, leaving Ling Feng no choice but to retreat again.

"Mm..."

In the end, Ling Feng nodded without thinking. She had to admit that Luo Xiyan was the only girl she could not refuse. Whether it was her beautiful appearance or her somewhat aloof, lonely temperament, both drew Ling Feng deeply in, leaving her unable to escape.

Looking into those clear, bright azure eyes, at her curved willow-leaf brows, lightly trembling lashes, and flawless fair skin touched with a faint blush, Ling Feng lost herself for a moment.

She remembered the first time they had met. She could remain as calm as ever around strangers, but after getting to know someone, she became much more passive. Ling Feng was certain that she had never been like this when talking with Tang Ling and the others...

While she was still dazed, Luo Xiyan had already wrapped an arm around Ling Feng's waist. Ling Feng felt her whole body go numb in an instant, as though even her bones had softened.

This was...

An electric reaction?

The moment they embraced, a faint glow shone in the darkness, like fireflies visible only in the night.

Everything continued. Everything was well. It seemed as though they had returned to the very beginning.

Ling Feng could clearly smell Luo Xiyan's natural fragrance. It was an unfamiliar floral scent, yet just like her name, it carried a trace of sorrow, chill, and beauty...

Or perhaps it was simply a universal rule: when people hugged, their hearts overflowed with a feeling called sweetness. It felt real and safe, warm, with a sound of its own...

Because they were pressed together, Luo Xiyan's still-developing softness pressed against Ling Feng's chest as well, making Ling Feng blush furiously from the start.

Soft...

Fragrant...

Hugging the girl made her feel as though her hormones were surging. It was like being electrocuted, her heartbeat quickening.

Ling Feng tried her best to restrain herself. Her face flushed red as she slowly lowered her long lashes, as if she were fighting sleep.

Luo Xiyan, meanwhile, closed her eyes and felt it with all her heart. She liked this feeling. She did not know why, but whenever she was with Ling Feng, she sincerely felt at ease.

It was as though she had embraced the entire world. Her heart was full, happy, and content~

It was an indescribable feeling. She just... simply wanted to know more about her.

"I'll go watch your competition tomorrow~"

Luo Xiyan spoke softly, unable to conceal the trace of delight in her voice.

"Mm."

Ling Feng did not know how else to respond, so she could only nod in agreement.

But when she finally came back to her senses, a flood of "click!" sounds and camera flashes erupted all around them, nearly blinding Ling Feng.

"Those two little fairies are so beautiful! Are they really from our world? Could they be angels who fell into the mortal realm?" a young man said, nearly suffocating.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I've already posted dozens of updates on Moments. A few people asked me for the location, and they're already booking flights to come here~"

"Damn it! Have I really lost even the courage to go talk to them?"

"What's that compared to me? I feel like even looking at them would be violating them!"

"Wow! It's that big sis from before! The two big sisters are so pretty! They must be a perfect match!"

The one who shouted that was the little girl who had asked Ling Feng for an autograph earlier. She was now standing beside her parents, her tiny hands still holding the signed sketchbook, with an adorable smile on her face.

And the people around them were undoubtedly filled with gasps, cheers, photographs, and shouts~
