" Keke! North of the city! Move the magic fifty meters to the left!"
"Receive!"
Keke, hovering in mid-air, immediately locked onto the direction of the north of the city. The huge red light cannon bombarded the area, instantly turning the running Calamity Beast there into ashes.
For Keke, C-rank Calamity Beast were hardly anything to worry about.
However, following the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's training, they remained vigilant until they had shattered the Grief Seed before stopping.
In the past, if disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were vying for the Grief Seed, this wouldn't have been so troublesome.
But recently, for some reason, the magical girls of the Beihai Azure Cloud Sect have rarely appeared, so Keke had to personally destroy the Grief Seed.
To prevent any strange or unusual things from appearing again, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau has previously encountered situations where new Calamity Beast were born from the Grief Seed left behind by deceased Calamity Beast.
After the Calamity Beast in the west had been mostly cleared out, Keke looked around at the rest of the area.
"Wait! West! Watch out for the west! Don't distract Keke!"
"I've already told you not to give orders blindly—"
" Keke, be careful!"
Then I heard someone's voice through my headset.
They started arguing again, as usual.
Keke with a hint of helplessness, but she had gotten used to it over the past few days.
Most of the senior Rose work at the police station. She was also transferred there to help with the Mental Image Remnants incident.
Meanwhile, An Shiyu and Peony from the bureau had already gone to provide support, so now, the only one in the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau who could truly be deployed at any time was himself.
However, this was not a problem for Keke, since she had rarely encountered a lack of magic power since advancing to the level of New Sprout.
More importantly, through training, her control over Magic Sense has become increasingly better.
Once unfolded, it can cover half of the Beihai with its Magic Sense, and can clearly sense the movement of any Filthy Magic Power.
The downside is that she has no way to hide her Magic Sense.
When the Magic Sense spread out, the Calamity Beast within sensed the anomaly and immediately became agitated, quickly screaming as they took flight and attempted to attack those around them.
There were two Calamity Beast in total on the west side. One rushed onto the street and ran through the traffic, while the other grabbed a little girl and flew through the air.
They are all B-rank Calamity Beast.
" Keke!"
Yiyi's voice came from behind the car, a spray bottle in her hand, "Get the top end off first!"
"Roger that, Captain!"
With her Magic Sense Lock-On, Keke, gripping the wand, prepared her magic.
Then.
Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger!
He slammed down on the flying Calamity Beast.
Keke's control over magic in this move has reached a level of consummate skill.
After all, ever since she received special training from Shion- sensei, Keke had been diligently practicing this move after finding the knack for it.
Her honed skills allowed her to press the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger hard against the back of the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast, crushing it amidst its screams of agony.
However, the magic stopped with extreme precision in front of the girl being held by the Calamity Beast, without harming her.
When the Calamity Beast fell and the child cried out as she plummeted from the sky, Keke once again carefully caught the girl with the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger.
This was a usage that Keke figured out herself. She thought that since it was a finger, it could be used as a finger.
It has proven to be true, and it works very well.
Two enormous fingers carefully pinched the little girl and flew her towards the ground.
The child, who had been wailing, was able to float in the sky after realizing everything was alright. In an instant, he stopped crying and started laughing, waving his arms and legs and touching and pinching his magical fingers.
When it was put down, it was still bouncing around, trying to touch the magic finger.
The child's parents rushed over, hugged the child, and thanked them while crying.
Although they were far apart, Keke could still hear them clearly.
A small sense of joy and pride welled up inside me, but soon Yiyi's voice came through the earpiece.
"Ah, great magical girl Keke, I know you saved a family, which is something to be very happy about, but if you hadn't come soon, your lowly little follower Yiyi would have died here after being flushed down the toilet—"
Keke quickly looked down and searched. Yiyi's car had been smashed to pieces, and the entire car had been swept into the sky by the tornado. It was obviously the work of the Calamity Beast.
She leaned against the car, holding a pistol in her hand, which is standard issue for all members of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
The bullets inside are magic bullets, but unfortunately their power is not very good; they can only repel and hinder the Calamity Beast.
It's practically impossible to defeat the Calamity Beast with this.
However, Keke had heard that there were cases of Calamity Beast with firearms in Jiangming City. It would be great if Beihai could find a way to buy some of these weapons.
"They're here! Captain, hold on!"
Before the shout even came out, the magic cannon had already blasted away the Calamity Beast that had almost driven Yiyi to the brink of despair, and then smoothly brought Yiyi's car to the ground.
Judging from the scene, this Calamity Beast was racing with vehicles on the main road. It was only after Yiyi stopped it and even lured it to an open square that Coco was Keke to kill it easily.
Otherwise, if they were in a crowd, this last bit of strong wind might have caused some injuries.
Although Keke was actually keeping a close eye on Yiyi's situation and could handle any problems immediately, it was best to have Captain Yiyi hold off the flying Calamity Beast while it was carrying hostages, just to be on the safe side.
Keke, who flew down, gave Yiyi a high five. "Thanks for your hard work, Captain!"
"I've already told you I'm not the captain anymore. I'm the setting sun, while you're the rising sun of tomorrow," Yiyi complained softly. "You shouldn't call me captain anymore."
"Anyway, to me, Yiyi will always be the captain!"
" Keke, the team member!"
"Arrive!"
"As captain, I hereby order that you are not allowed to call me captain from now on."
"No."
"Why!"
"Because Yiyi is no longer the captain."
Enraged, Li Yi reached out and tugged at her quick-witted junior's face.
Although Li Yi can no longer transform into a magical girl, as she herself said, she will do her best to help Keke fight in her own way and become a better magical girl.
Now, Keke has become the strongest and most reliable magical girl in the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
" Magical Girl Liuli, I'm your fan!"
Wow, it really is Magical Girl Liuli!
"Could you give me your autograph?"
"Can I take a photo with you?"
"Please, please go out with me!"
After only a short while, the surrounding crowd gathered around, Keke quickly grabbed Yiyi and took off first.
"Yes, I'm sorry, everyone, we still have other Calamity Beast to deal with. We can't waste any more time. Goodbye--"
Watching Coco hurriedly grab her and fly away, Li Yi Keke n't help but chuckle to herself.
"Big star, you need to get used to being fawned over soon!"
Was Captain Yiyi like that back then?
"Uh, I'm not very popular—" Yiyi scratched her head, "Back in the Magical Girl Combat Team, the most popular one was Hyacinth- senpai, and then Susan. You should know how popular Susan was, right?"
"Oh, I was on TV so many times back then."
"After all, she was a ratings guarantee for a period of time. Magical Girl Mermaid, Zhulu! She was incredibly popular back then. When Susan lost her transformation ability and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau announced her retirement, her fans would organize protests at the government building every day."
"Wow----"
Just hearing Keke's voice gives me a headache. "I hope I won't have so many fans in the future—"
"You're now the face of the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, you're sure to have a lot of fans in the future, and the government will also promote you more. After all, on the surface, we can't let the Azure Cloud Sect steal all the limelight. Magical Girl Winter Lord has stolen a lot of popularity from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's Magical Girl in the public eye. I myself was heavily boycotted because I was seen as the official Magical Girl who stole Hyacinth's spot."
At this point, Li Yi said with a hint of regret, pinching Keke's cheek, "Anyway! Keke the last hero in our department, don't lose to the great demon kings of the Azure Cloud Sect!"
"I'm nowhere near as good as Ms. Shion."
"Anyway, Magical Girl Shion isn't very popular in Beihai, so don't worry."
When they flew back to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau with Yiyi, Keke suddenly remembered, "Speaking of which, where did you get that car, Captain?"
"Oh, it was temporarily requisitioned."
"Huh?" Coco was a little dumbfounded. "Then, Keke it's okay that you messed up someone's car like that?"
"Don't worry, they will compensate you. I've already spoken to the car owner, and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau will provide full compensation."
"I remember you don't have a driver's license, and when did you learn to drive?"
"Of course the members of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau have special privileges! I learned to drive from my sister when she was at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, Keke, you can rest assured!"
["
After the two returned to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, Susan came out first and said coldly, "Thank you for your hard work."
The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is rather deserted these days, with only a handful of people. If Susan doesn't come out, basically no one will come to greet her.
"There seem to be fewer and fewer people at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau lately," Li Yi said as she walked into the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. "The number of Calamity Beast has inexplicably increased, and there's still no news from Peony at the Mental Image Remnants."
"Hmm, there's still no news from Peony and An Shiyu."
After hesitating for a moment, Susan continued, "I plan to go to Anyang to check. Although Peony likes to slack off, she usually wouldn't disappear without a trace like this."
"Okay." Yiyi took Keke's hand. "Leave Beihai to us, no problem!"
Susan's lips twitched slightly before she looked at Li Yi, "Regarding your Miracle Seed issue, you can ask the people from the Azure Cloud Sect later. Perhaps you'll find something useful."
Li Yi was somewhat surprised, then nodded, "Yes, I will, but it seems like the magical girls from the Azure Cloud Sect have all gone elsewhere lately—"
It seems like they're looking for someone----
I heard that the situation at the Mental Image Remnants site is over, but some things seem to be just beginning.
I've heard that the Azure Cloud Sect has been very active in other places lately; I wonder who they're looking for.
Keke was a little curious, but ultimately it wasn't really her business.
After taking notes, Keke didn't stay at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau for long, as there was nothing else for her to do.
As the only magical girl in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau who can be deployed at any time, she rarely needs to worry about the work behind the scenes.
Li Yi, on the other hand, stayed at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to handle the aftermath.
I returned home alone, and the house was still empty.
As mentioned before, Li Yi usually only comes over at night. Recently, the Azure Cloud Sect has been quite active, and she often works overtime at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, which means she often ends up staying there.
Susan is in the same boat; An Shiyu and Senior Peony went out on a mission and haven't returned yet.
Jiang Si did not return either.
Before leaving, she said she was going to a hotel for tutoring with Ms. Shion, but it turns out we didn't even go to any hotel.
Mingming's parents' biggest expectation for them was that they could study hard and get into a good university. However, Jiang Si taking the college entrance examination in his second year of high school, but he also didn't study hard enough.
Maybe she secretly ran off to play outside with Ms. Shion ----
Thinking about this made me feel a little stifled.
It's one thing if they went out to have fun, but there's been no news from them for so many days.
Ms. Shion should also be a high school student. Those two couldn't possibly have had a child while they were in high school, could they?
If they really had a child, how could Jiang Si possibly afford to raise it? Besides, given his personality, he probably wouldn't like children. But Teacher Shion would definitely be reluctant to part with the child.
Next, the two argued over their child, then the older brother abandoned her after starting something, while Teacher Shion, a single mother, raised a genius child to get revenge on Jiang Si, leaving Jiang Si filled with regret.
Meanwhile, she herself was an evil aunt who secretly plotted to persecute her nephews and nieces, refusing to include Ms. Shion and her child in the family photo.
Lost in thought, I returned to my room to find it cold and empty. I turned on the light, went back to the kitchen, and quickly heated up some food.
She's been cooking for two people lately, originally planning to have dinner together when Jiang Si comes back someday.
He didn't come back for several days in a row, so the extra meal I prepared had to become leftovers for the next meal.
Fortunately, it's much more convenient; just heat it up and it's ready to eat.
When I finished cooking, I habitually went to the TV and turned it on. Next to the TV was a photo of me and my parents.
Smiling parents, a silly, dazed look on his face, and an impatient Jiang Si.
If Jiang Si has a child, should we add her to the list?
Keke, who had inexplicably thought of this, immediately shook her head, realizing she was overthinking it.
I grabbed the remote and switched to the news channel.
Actually, this habit originated with Jiang Si. When he was a child, he liked to turn on the TV and tune to the news channel after each workout.
Actually, no one in the family liked watching the news except Jiang Si. He especially loved watching strange and unusual news. Thinking about it carefully, perhaps Jiang Si was already searching for traces of magical girls back then.
After what happened three years ago, Jiang Si rarely turned on the TV anymore. Keke, Coco herself developed the habit of turning on the TV and listening to the news while eating or even sleeping.
She appeared in the news today. BH City has been sparing no effort in promoting her recently, giving her frequent opportunities to appear in public, and there have been several press conferences prepared for her in the past.
However, Captain Li Yi refused them all for her, which relieved Keke.
She disliked the feeling of being in the public eye, and besides, it would be too embarrassing if the members of the Azure Cloud Sect saw her.
Others who are so amazing have never been on TV, but I, a new magical girl with no real talent, have gone and made a big splash.
That's so embarrassing!
"Recently, the Azure Cloud Sect's brutal suppression of the Witch Association has begun to spread to South China. Many members of the Witch Association have surrendered themselves, claiming that the Azure Cloud Sect has started indiscriminately killing innocent people, seriously disrupting social order and causing great panic."
Although news reports often criticize the Azure Cloud Sect, today's comments seem a bit harsh.
Ever since the Mental Image Remnants disappeared, things have been acting strangely at the Azure Cloud Sect.
I wonder what Shion- sensei and the others are doing. It seems they previously conducted a large-scale purge of the Witch Association members.
They've been condemned many times.
Keke finished her meal while listening to the news, then got up and went into her bedroom after clearing the table.
She has exams in a couple of days and needs to study. She's been so busy with magical girl stuff lately that she's fallen behind on a lot of her classes.
After taking my schoolbag out of the bedroom, I noticed a beautiful figure in purple standing next to the TV in the living room, staring blankly at it.
"Teacher Shion?"
After a moment of surprise, Keke exclaimed in shock, "You, why did you suddenly come?"
Then a sense of unease began to creep in.
Is she trying to tell herself she's really pregnant?
Or has he already been dumped by his brother, so he suddenly came looking for him?
So, how should I comfort her?
Oh no, I can't think of anything.
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't see any downsides to the two of them breaking up, and she couldn't even empathize with Ms. Shion's sadness.
I'm here to talk to you about your brother.
As I expected, the next step is probably to confess that I was dumped.
But suddenly, Keke something different.
The weariness and unease emanating from Ms. Shion were palpable, along with her evasive gaze.
This was the first time she had sensed Shion- sensei's weakness, as if she were afraid of her.
She had never sensed such an aura from Shion- sensei before.
Weakness, fear, the loss of that omnipotent, reassuring reliability.
It was only then that Keke realized that Ms. Shion was really small.
I hadn't noticed it at all before.
Jiang Si has disappeared.
The sound also became very soft; the news broadcast was very loud, so loud that it was somewhat noisy and disruptive, which made Keke doubt for a moment.
Is she really Ms. Shion?
We can't find him.
But soon, my thinking became sluggish, and I was no longer able to discern the truth of the matter.
Keke stared blankly at her, then glanced out the window at the drifting catkins.
A thin layer of white had accumulated in the yard.
It's started snowing in Beihai.
"Cannot find, what does that mean?"
