A Chapter Comes to a Close

The soldiers' remains couldn't just be left lying in the open, and transporting them back to Northern Capital was impractical.

Fortunately, love returned quickly. She used her Magic Power to create a large pit in the ground, then placed each of the fallen warriors in a coffin and buried them. She also erected a stone monument at the burial site.

After completing all this, the group once again embarked on their journey to Northern Capital.

Thanks to the two battles fought by Thousand Blades and Ai, the Fallen Beast of Northern Capital have been almost completely wiped out. Only some small Fallen Beast are still lurking in the city. Because they are not strong, when Thousand Blades and Ai arrived one after the other, they hid in the shadows looking for an opportunity to ambush them, and as a result, they were lucky enough to escape.

But you can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.

Upon arriving in Northern Capital again, Ai and Thousand Blades meticulously inspected every location, identifying and annihilating all the Fallen Beast.

General Luo, on the other hand, conducted another inspection of the various important facilities in Northern Capital.

"The city center was severely damaged, probably because of that huge thing. Fortunately, there weren't any important facilities in the city center itself; most of the damage was to commercial facilities."

The officers dispatched by General Luo quickly brought back all the news.

"The hospital is well preserved, but many medicines were taken from the warehouse during the evacuation. However, the other medical warehouse still has all its inventory. Miss Mu Zhi has already moved in with the wounded, and the medicines have begun to be transferred. It is expected that the hospital will be back in operation by today."

With each piece of good news that came back, General Luo's spirits visibly improved.

Looking at the equally spirited officers before him, General Luo nodded with some satisfaction.

He had initially thought that this operation would at least eliminate most of the familiar faces in front of him, but to his surprise, almost all of them remained in the end.

"Okay... very good..."

"Go check the roads and buildings again. Mark out any areas with dilapidated structures, just in case anything goes wrong."

There's no need for that.

The vibrant voice of a young girl rang out again.

Sometime later, Ai returned to General Luo's temporary command post.

"Let's all stay away from the buildings and their debris. I should be able to repair the buildings in Northern Capital directly... The reconstruction shouldn't take too long. If everyone comes back to find Northern Capital in ruins, it would be rather disheartening."

General Luo instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at Ai Mingming's smiling expression, he couldn't bring himself to say no.

"Uh... the hospital..."

"The hospital is fine. If it's just a small area, I can avoid it."

"That's troublesome."

The Magic Power of pink spread once again.

The entire Northern Capital was tinged with a light pink hue. Then, the scattered building debris began to slowly rise into the air, combining and converging in mid-air.

The collapsed building gradually returned to its former state, and the roads that had been cracked by the Fallen Beast began to heal again.

It was as if time had reversed, and Northern Capital began to gradually return to its former state.

But of course, it's not about turning back time.

Simply restoring the building to its former state is obviously much less effort; there's no need to go to such great lengths to turn back time, since the result is the same anyway.

And just like that, the Northern Capital, which would have required a great deal of effort to rebuild, was restored to its pre-disaster state. The warriors who witnessed this scene were all shocked... After all, they had always seen the Magical Girl's powerful abilities in battle, but they never expected that they could do something like this.

Inventory of warehouses, establishment of sentry posts, delineation of patrol routes...

The whole day passed by busily, and it wasn't until nightfall that everyone finally had a chance to rest.

At this time, order has been restored in Northern Capital. Although only the troops brought back by General Luo are here now, since the situation in Northern Capital has stabilized, the next step will definitely be to relocate a portion of the people from Snow Pass City directly to Northern Capital in order to alleviate the refugee pressure in Snow Pass City.

Of course, the leadership of Northern Capital will definitely return soon.

"Oh~ I never expected that awakening would turn out like this?"

High up in a building, Mu Zhi's face was already flushed red.

Because right in front of her, Ai was brazenly groping her ears... a pair of snow-white Fox Ears that had appeared along with her awakening.

She wanted to reject love, but love came too quickly.

After that, that strange, somewhat pleasant, itchy feeling made it impossible for her to say no.

"Lady Love..."

Seeing that Mu Zhi's eyes were almost blurry, Thousand Blades slapped Ai's hand away in annoyance.

"Okay, okay, don't push your luck, alright?"

"Eh..."

Ai removed her hand with some disappointment, then a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

"Hmm~ I feel a sour smell in the air~ What's going on?"

"Like!"

Thousand Blades stomped his foot angrily and reached out to grab Ai, but Ai dodged him.

"I've advanced! The gap between us now is like an insurmountable chasm!"

Ai and Thousand Blades started arguing right there on the Rooftop.

Mu Zhi watched the two playfully bickering, her complexion gradually returning to normal. She picked up the juice in front of her, poured it into a glass, and took small sips.

In front of her was an oven, brought by love.

General Luo Ai's proposal for a victory banquet, believing that the celebration should only be held after the situation in Northern Capital had completely stabilized. He felt that complete stabilization meant more than just making the city safe; it meant allowing residents to return and fully restoring the city's functions.

So love can only find its own oven and indulge itself a little.

Of course, the main reason was to ease Mu Zhi's emotions... Mu Zhi had a very strong sense of responsibility. Ever since the main force was attacked, she had been feeling down, clearly still resentful about everyone's sacrifice.

Ai felt that if Mu Zhi's emotions weren't properly guided, it would be disastrous if she became obsessed with them.

Seeing that Mu Zhi's mood had indeed been greatly relieved by her outburst, Ai also showed a relieved smile.

Then she was caught.

"Wait! Wait Thousand Blades! You were just joking around!"

"Really? It's just a joke now!"

"Wait... I made a mistake! I misspoke!"

Mu Zhi looked at Ai and couldn't help but laugh.

I thought Lady Love would be the kind of person with a very serious personality... but then again, she is.

Since they are Magical Girl, then Lady Love should be close to their age.
