Does Shion really like her older brother?
Keke had doubts about this.
Although Shion is very powerful, it would be difficult to find someone who can rival her in terms of strength as a magical girl.
However, as everyone knows, a magical girl's strength does not represent her physical strength.
Before transforming, magical girls are ultimately just fragile ordinary people; even if they can borrow some magic, it is still limited in reality.
Guns, poison, or other weapons can all inflict fatal wounds on magical girls.
Once the ability to transform is lost, magical girls will be no different from ordinary girls.
Even Shion is no exception.
Moreover, as the sect leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, there must be many people keeping an eye on Shion.
Even Shion- sensei can't always maintain her magical girl form. When she's not in her magical girl form, she always needs someone to protect her.
That's why I kept looking for my older brother.
Because my brother's physical body is already very powerful, he doesn't need to transform and won't be detected. Even the most powerful magical girls from the Azure Cloud Sect will still emit magical energy, which is easily detected by both the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and the Witch Association.
That's why Shion brought her older brother along when she went to Jiangming and Anyang.
It wasn't a date, nor was it anything aimed at deepening their relationship.
He's just taking advantage of my brother!
Although she usually appears aloof and dull, she becomes incredibly affectionate and clingy when facing her older brother, as if under hypnosis. In reality, however, Shion is extremely cunning.
They had their eyes on Jiang Si from the very beginning because Jiang Si's physical body was extremely powerful.
Keke knew that her older brother was exaggerated because of his training since childhood, but she didn't really know just how exaggerated he was.
Now, seeing Jiang Si smash the B-level Calamity Beast with a single punch, many things finally became clear.
Why did Shion suddenly fall for Jiang Si? Why did the two of them develop a relationship so quickly? Why did she always bring her older brother along when they went out on missions?
They only hired him as a bodyguard because they admired his fighting prowess!
Keke had guessed it from the beginning: someone like Shion- sensei—no, someone like Shion —couldn't just fall for a boy so easily.
Especially since she is the sect leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, her standards are definitely very high, and she naturally has her own purposes in choosing a partner.
Keke recalled a line from the detective novel she had read a few days ago, "Sherlock Lupin III vs. Magical Girl Geed "—"Eliminate the impossible, and what remains, however improbable, is the truth."
The spell on Shion has been broken.
Dude, you have no idea how complicated the world of magical girls is, how vast the Azure Cloud Sect is, and how deep Ziyuan's scheming and vision are as Shion leader of the Azure Cloud Sect. How could she possibly be just an ordinary high school student?
The older brother who has trained hard since childhood will definitely pursue strength, not to mention that Ms. Shion is also very beautiful. Although she is a little small, you can't tell that she is small because of her usual aura.
Just say a few nice words—like on that date, act all compliant, and speak softly and gently—and no boy can resist...
Such methods are more akin to those of a witch than a magical girl.
Teacher Shion, you are despicable now.
This guy has never been in a relationship and has had little contact with girls, so it was all too easy for him to be deceived by Shion.
So Keke want her brother to keep being scammed.
Unfortunately, Jiang Si ultimately did not agree.
I thought Jiang Si would say something like Shion isn't like that, that she's different from others, that she has her own rhythm, and that she was just deliberately being deceived. Keke even had her own words of advice ready.
In the end, Jiang Si only said one sentence, "I can't beat her, and I can't break up with her."
Keke was speechless.
Indeed, if Shion were unwilling, neither he, his older brother, nor even all the magical girls he knew in the Beihai together would be a match for Shion.
If he angers Shion, he might suffer greatly, and in the end, it will be his older brother who suffers, as no one can help him.
I can already foresee the scene where, after he breaks up with her, Shion breaks both his legs in front of her and all the magical girls, beats him until they refuse to break up, and he's powerless to do anything about it...
Jiang Keke was also deflated for a moment.
I felt both angry and annoyed. Couldn't those magical girls from the Azure Cloud Sect ever get any better? What kind of life do you want my brother to To Live before you're satisfied?
Is my brother going to be controlled by Shion forever and continue going to those dangerous places?
Every time, do I have to wait anxiously to see if my brother will return safely?
This time she's back, but what about next time? If she's taken away by Shion next time, how long will it take for her to return? What if she never comes back?
Shion ran over and said guiltily, "Your brother is missing. That's all I have to say."
He won't promise her anything, won't tell her how she disappeared, and won't take her to find her brother.
Then, she was left alone at home, enduring the torment of despair and pain.
That kind of thing, absolutely not!
We absolutely have to make my brother break up with Shion!
I feel that Yiyi is clearly a better match for Jiang Si than Shion. Yiyi is more suitable as the brother's lover than Shion.
Anyone is fine, except for Shion!
But before that, I must become stronger, much stronger.
She's strong enough to protect her brother from being held hostage by Shion.
That's so powerful that even if my brother says he wants to break up with Shion, there's nothing Shion can do to him!
We must, we absolutely must become stronger!
However, within the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, it's very difficult to become stronger.
Putting everything else aside, Shion's strength is beyond doubt, and the power of the Azure Cloud Sect is also evident to all.
Even with the recent grand declaration of war and the tumultuous hunt for the Witch Association, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's attitude towards the Azure Cloud Sect remains extremely friendly. Isn't the reason simply because the magical girls of the Azure Cloud Sect are all incredibly powerful?
Moreover, Shion is not a bad teacher either; at least Coco Keke understand what she teaches.
Therefore, before becoming stronger than Shion, Keke endure hardship and continue to treat Shion as her teacher, asking her to teach her magic.
Until I become even stronger than Shion- sensei!
If I become stronger than Shion- sensei, I can protect my older brother and never have to be afraid of being alone again...
After flying home, Jiang Si tidied up the house as usual.
Actually, Keke had already cleaned up very well when she left.
Keke took a shower first, and when she returned to her bedroom in her pajamas, she received a call from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
It's Yiyi calling.
He loudly questioned her about what was going on, why she suddenly resigned, and why she suddenly ran into the street to transform into a magical girl and fight against Calamity Beast without informing her.
Keke a little guilty and explained to Yiyi everything, including her brother's disappearance, her plan to look for him, and Jiang Si's sudden return. She told Yiyi everything in detail.
After all, Yiyi was one of her few friends. When her brother disappeared, she felt that telling Yiyi would be pointless and would only cause them both pain, so Keke chose to keep it from Yiyi.
Now that the matter is resolved, the first thing I want to do is talk to Yiyi.
"Hmph, get some rest first. I'll come find you tomorrow and teach you a lesson. Keke, such a big thing happened, and you even kept it from me."
"I'm sorry, Captain Yiyi." Hearing Li Yi's tone was the same as always, Keke breathed a sigh of relief. "Remember to bring your love letter when you come tomorrow."
"Wha... what love letter? What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I saw it, it's the one I wrote for my older brother."
"It's not a love letter! It's a friendship letter!"
"Okay, I got it. Friendship letter, friendship letter, remember to bring it, otherwise you might not have another chance if you don't give it to your brother now."
After a moment of silence, Li Yi asked softly, "How did you know?"
I saw it by accident.
"... Fine, I won't argue with you. You're not up to something again, are you? Keke, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless."
"No, Captain." Keke's tone lightened after finding her brother. "I just think you and my brother are a really good match."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
"I'm not making this up. Don't you like my brother? Do you think he's not handsome enough? Or do you think he's poor? Actually, my brother earns quite a bit, and he's very handsome if he dresses up..."
"No, Jiang Si. Jiang Si is handsome even without dressing up. Besides, I'm not short of money, so I don't need a rich boyfriend."
After all, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau pays a really high salary, Li Yi has been the team leader for a long time and is currently on the front lines.
The former director, out of consideration for their past relationship, didn't cut her salary at all.
"If you like it, you can give it a try," Keke whispered. "It would be even better if it were Yiyi."
If it were Yiyi, she would live together and wouldn't take her brother away at all; she would still be able to live with him.
Moreover, Yiyi never runs around, never takes her brother to dangerous places, and never loses him.
Keke also see that Yiyi genuinely liked her older brother, not because of his money or power.
It's simply because I get along well with my older brother.
If possible, Li Yi would definitely be a better choice for Jiang Si than Shion.
"I'll cheer you on, Yiyi!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Fine, Yiyi doesn't like it, then forget it."
"I didn't say I didn't like it!" Li Yi hesitated for a while before saying softly and shyly, "I... I'll give it a try..."
I'll do everything I can to help you!
"But Jiang Si has a girlfriend, let's talk about it after we break up..."
"It's okay. Actually, they're not that close. Yiyi, just be bold and try."
"Really?"
I talked a lot with Li Yi about things like Shion might be using Jiang Si, but I didn't say anything too malicious. I just felt that their relationship was more like an exchange of interests than a romantic one.
Give Li Yi confidence and help, and let her bravely give it a try.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Si took a shower, changed her clothes, and started exercising.
What used to be a noisy sound now brings me immense peace of mind.
Keke lay in bed, curled up under the covers, having not slept for days, and was extremely sleepy.
But he just couldn't fall asleep. After lying there for a while, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Si outside the bedroom.
The bedroom door wasn't kept tightly closed like before to keep Jiang Si from disturbing him; instead, it was left open.
Just as I was about to fall asleep after lying down for a while, a wave of panic washed over me.
Panicked, she opened her eyes and couldn't see her older brother anymore, so she immediately got up to take another look. Only when she saw Jiang Si still exercising in the living room did she feel relieved enough to lie down again.
However, after lying down for a while, he would sit up and take another look.
I won't be able to sleep at all if this continues...
"Brother, I can't sleep."
So, I'll just say it like that.
"Take sleeping pills."
The response from the other side was also very straightforward.
"No, come here."
Holding dumbbells and exercising, Jiang Si walked into Keke's bedroom.
Since his parents passed away, he has hardly ever entered this room, Keke's bedroom is decorated in a very girly style.
The pink walls were adorned with beautiful magical girl posters, among which Larkspur- senpai, with her bright and cheerful smile, stood out. Whether as a magical girl or an idol, Larkspur was the strongest, and even now, in her retirement, she remained extremely popular.
There were several rag dolls that her mother had bought for her when she was a child on the bed. Although they were a bit old, they were still clean and tidy, and the room was also very nicely tidied.
Keke is even more diligent than Jiang Si in this regard.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Si, who was standing by the bed exercising with dumbbells, felt that the thing was completely useless.
We need to find a way to get some heavier, smaller fitness equipment.
Keke shifted slightly inside, and Jiang Si saw that she was wrapped up so tightly that she looked like a wriggling maggot.
Then Keke reached out and patted the edge of the bed. "Sit down."
After Jiang Si sat down, Keke took his free left hand, placed it beside the pillow, and whispered:
"That way I can fall asleep."
She's really regressed to her ancestral ways; when she was little, she liked to sleep like this, hugging her dad's or mom's hand.
She would cry and fuss if she wasn't held, which made it impossible for her parents to have any time alone. Later, Keke a little older, this job was handed over to Jiang Si.
Sometimes, after watching a horror movie or experiencing something scary or sad, Keke needs to hold his hand to fall asleep.
However, that was when I was very young; such things rarely happen after I grew up.
Remember to go to the hospital tomorrow.
"Why?"
"Check if he/she is sick."
"... I'm just afraid that when I open my eyes I won't see you again. I can sleep peacefully when you're by my side."
"Oh, I'll get a photo developed for you tomorrow and put it by the bed."
"..."
Oh well, that's just how he is.
Keke has gotten used to it and actually feels at ease with it.
She leaned against her older brother's rough palm, which, though not large, was thick and hard, and felt safer and warmer than anything else.
"Elder brother."
In her hazy state, she didn't know if she was dreaming or if she was already asleep.
I felt my older brother patting my head, just like when I was a child.
She clung tightly to her brother's hand, repeatedly murmuring as if pleading.
"Don't leave me alone, don't abandon me..."
Jiang Si waited until she was completely asleep.
It was already dark when Keke fell asleep.
I don't know what I dreamed about, but I kept crying even after falling asleep.
I don't know how many times I cried today.
I was a crybaby when I was little. In the three years after my parents passed away, I thought I had grown up and didn't cry much. But did I actually grow up? Today I cried my fill.
Repayment date? I hope I won't be crying over installments again...
Can universities truly become independent if things continue like this?
Surely we can't expect to support her for the rest of her life?
Ultimately, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau should offer a course on the mindset of a magical girl. How can a girl with this kind of mentality be a good magical girl...?
If we have to educate everyone ourselves, what's the point of joining the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau?
Her opinion of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau dropped a few points, and she glanced at Keke.
I probably haven't slept well for several days in a row, and I've developed dark circles under my eyes. Once I finally fall asleep, I'm completely asleep.
After confirming that everything was alright, Jiang Si withdrew her hand, washed it, changed her clothes, and went out.
Because of the Azure Cloud Sect's search, many people in the entire Beihai now know that Jiang Si is Shion's boyfriend. However, only the magical girls of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and the Witch Association know what he looks like.
There's no need to worry about being recognized...
As soon as he stepped outside, his neighbors greeted him and gossiped, asking if Shion was really his girlfriend, and whether she was always so cold and fierce. They also inquired whether such a powerful magical girl had a cute side in her daily life.
There were also jokes about how he usually has women on both sides, and whether Shion would be angry about it.
Before he even left the neighborhood, some passersby recognized him.
"Isn't that Magical Girl Shion's boyfriend?"
"Holy crap, she's so short! Does Magical Girl Shion actually like this type?"
"Little ones accompany little ones, short people love short people, it's normal, it's also recorded in the Ming Dynasty's Ming Tong Jin Xi."
"But is Shion really an adult? Is this guy dating a minor?"
"Have the police arrest him?"
"I feel like even the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau wouldn't dare, let alone the police..."
It was clearly the great achievement of the neighborhood aunties.
Left with no other choice, Jiang Si found a secluded spot, put on her mask, and then left.
Although it was a bit strange, eventually no one talked about him anymore as he went along.
I glanced at the moonlight and sighed a little.
I didn't expect to waste so much time. I had planned to go to the Azure Cloud Sect today to give a sermon to the disciples.
Now he has gained new insights into the realm of magical girls in the forbidden zone of life, which can help his disciples advance further. However, it's already so late, and there are probably not many people left in the Azure Cloud Sect.
Just as I took out my phone to ask Bingtang about the progress of her research on Full Bloom, I suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream.
" Si Motu! Ahhh, Si Motu!"
Turning his head, he saw the familiar girl rush towards him.
Jiang Si instinctively kicked the other person away.
After tumbling several times, Xilan crashed into a telephone pole and nearly lost her breath, letting out a "hoarse" groan.
It took him a long time to get up from the ground.
"Yes, it's me, Si Motu, your most loyal subordinate, the Complete Witch Xilan! Si Motu, it's so good! You're not dead! It's so good! Waaaaah..."
Seeing that Xilan was about to crawl over and hug his leg while crying again, Jiang Si stomped his foot on the ground.
The concrete floor suddenly collapsed, and Xilan fell in, letting out another "ouch" before falling silent.
"If you cry again, I'll kill you."
Keke cried all day today, which was already annoying enough.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Xilan immediately shut her mouth, struggled to climb out of the pit, and said in a wronged yet obedient tone, "Oh, I know, Xilan won't cry anymore."
How did you get out?
At this point, Xilan immediately puffed out her chest, "Hmph, those brats from the Azure Cloud Sect are all brawn and no brains. I used a little trick and they were fooled, allowing me to escape!"
Jiang Si glanced at the ice crystals above her head but said nothing.
She probably had her own reasons for wanting to Bingtang.
" Si Motu, you suddenly disappeared from the Mental Image Remnants, I was so worried! How did you end up here again? Did you come specifically to find me? You came specifically to find me, didn't you? I knew Si Motu cared about me, Xilan is so touched. For someone like me, you actually risked coming to such a dangerous place! Those demons from the Azure Cloud Sect, if they catch you, they won't let you go. Let's run away as soon as possible!"
"I naturally have my own plans." Jiang Si didn't continue along her line of thought, but instead asked, "What happened to the Mirror Beast I saw on the road earlier? Did the seal on the Land of Mirrors break and it end up here?"
Xilan paused slightly, then looked around carefully, as if she were cautiously checking her surroundings.
I just didn't see the ice crystal above.
Then he jogged over to Si Motu's side and lowered his voice:
"Not only has the Land of Mirrors been unsealed, but they've also found new partners and even brought in the legendary Magical Girl Killer. The Witch Association has also sent Magical Girl Hunter. Everyone is fully prepared and plans to wipe out the Azure Cloud Sect in East China!"
"Both hunter and assassin," Jiang Si shook her head. "It sounds cheap."
"I don't know about hunters, but Magical Girl Killer are definitely not as simple as you think."
Xilan said viciously, "Any magical girl is no match for the Magical Girl Killer. The Witch Association's assassins rarely appear. Even the Witch Association and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau don't know where she comes from or who she is. Nobody knows anything about her. All they know is that no magical girl she targets has ever escaped!"
Jiang Si gave a casual "Oh".
He clearly didn't care much about Xilan's boasting.
Xilan talks a big game, but in reality, he's probably just a fraud.
And so its reputation grew.
"I know Si Motu doesn't take petty people seriously," Xilan lowered her voice again, "But Magical Girl Killer is different. There was a magical girl who Full Bloom her full power, wanting to completely eliminate the Witch Association, but she ran into Magical Girl Killer on the way."
"Then, the person was gone, not even Mental Image Remnants remained!"
Jiang Si finally showed some interest.
