Chapter 145 The Stage Prepared for You
Chapter 145 The Stage Prepared for You
"Goodbye, Tianqing! Let's hang out again at the anime convention next week!"
Goodbye~
The golden fox stood at the subway entrance, waving goodbye to the girl who was walking into the subway station.
Watching the girl disappear into the subway station, Su Tianqing lowered her hands, a few thoughts forming in her mind.
I have extensive experience in giving magical girls the shadow of stars.
—Pressure from eccentrics or witches, teammates' helplessness in the face of the current situation, coupled with encouragement and motivation from friends or partners, or even the creation of a life-or-death crisis.
If all these things are brought together in one place, it may invigorate the magical girl involved, thereby gaining the approval of the stars.
But will these experiences really work for Karin?
Hyacinth's starry shadow did indeed originate from herself, but Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling have very different personalities, so simply using the experience method to replicate an astral jellyfish attack might not be very effective.
Moreover, the two of them are teammates. If Nan Xiaofeng drives the Starry Night Shadow directly up and smashes this fox's big monster to pieces, what will happen to Hua Ling?
Not to mention a life-or-death crisis. Karin is an orphan, all alone, born to be a magical girl. Where am I supposed to create a life-or-death crisis for her?
"This is really difficult to solve."
Back home, sitting on the sofa, Su Tianqing muttered to herself.
First, I need to isolate Iris from the magical girl team so that I can perform some subtle operations.
The three of them have already formed a magical girl team. It wouldn't be impossible to stage a famous tokusatsu scene where there is internal conflict and one of them leaves, but I really dislike this kind of plot.
Moreover, Hua Ling is the core of this team. Without her, Su Tianqing couldn't even imagine how Hyacinth and Nightingale would fight against the cats and rabbits.
"In other words, the trouble I'm facing now is actually worse than I imagined," Su Tianqing pondered.
First, I need to plant the seed of spiritual sustenance in Hualing's heart. I have already done that today. Now I just need to wait for this seed to sprout.
But what's next? You can't just summon a weirdo to tie you up and then tell Iris Flower, "Your sister, Sunny, is in my hands."
Su Tianqing felt that Hyacinth and Nightingale would definitely come charging in with great momentum, which would give the other side a fatal buff.
"I can't use my true form to openly act, nor can I use a righteous fox to sow discord. How can I get Karin to...?"
……wrong,
Has this fox forgotten something?
"bass!"
The little fox sat up abruptly from the sofa, wagging its tail from side to side. A thought flashed through its mind, and it remembered something it had almost forgotten.
Do you remember the last time they picked a fight with the three of them? It was the time when the good fox and the bad fox were switched at birth.
Hyacinth had promised Cat a condition back then! Couldn't I just use that to my advantage?
As long as the hyacinth is kept in check, and the bunny keeps an eye on the nightingale to hammer it, then I can grab the iris and manipulate it at will!
But the pressure I'm putting on it doesn't seem quite enough, not nearly as much as it was with the Astral Jellyfish. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Hana Rin seems to have a strong mental fortitude, if she can come up with some new ways to get Hyacinth out of this group...
Thinking of this, Su Tianqing opened the secret manual, opened the shop page, and looked at the item selection option that she had always kept.
Now is the time to use it!
And the item you need to choose is—
【Puppet Master: Controls all actions of a magical girl, lasting 1-7 days depending on magical power】
Item exchange!
A flash of magical light appeared, and Su Tianqing held a puppet in her hand. Its shape was somewhat eerie, like the kind that would appear in a horror game.
The villainous fox grinned, as if he had come up with a brilliant idea.
Karin's past experiences have made her accustomed to loneliness. Now that she has made new friends, what if I were to let her experience "loneliness" in another way...?
Then, his own true self would forcefully intervene, allowing the seed of hope in her heart to take root and sprout!
And finally... let this seed that has taken root and sprouted encounter an unpredictable disaster, so that Hualing can burst forth with an unprecedented belief!
Once she had an idea, Su Tianqing immediately put it into action.
She sends a magical communication to contact the cat and rabbit, then logs into the Magical Girl Fox Official account to issue a declaration of war, and finally prepares two meticulously designed monsters.
【The Phantom Puppet Monster】 and 【The Sealer Monster】.
Miss Hyacinth, and Miss Nightingale, I, Fox, am very sorry.
But for the next few days... I'll borrow your bodies for a bit!
……
……
night.
A park in Chengdu.
"Meow!"
Hellcat yawned, sat on a bench, and dozed off with its eyes half-closed.
Su Tianqing tilted her head and glanced at the catgirl beside her, her ears twitched, and she curiously poked the catgirl's shoulder.
"Kitty."
"Um……?"
Nan Jiayu said weakly, but still forced herself to appear less sleepy.
"W-What's wrong? Have they arrived already?"
"No, Kitty, you look very tired. Did you not rest well yesterday?" The golden fox said with a hint of worry.
Nan Jiayu quickly rubbed her eyes and waved her hand awkwardly.
"No! I slept quite well today, although I was a bit tired yesterday..."
"Then why are you still so sleepy? You're not lying to me, are you?" the golden fox said, pretending to be angry and puffing out her cheeks.
"Of course not, because I had just woken up when you called me, so I was a little..."
The catgirl awkwardly arched her tail.
The reason I'm so tired isn't because I didn't sleep well last night, but rather because I slept all day without even getting out of bed, which makes me feel even more exhausted now.
I'm so tired after sleeping all day.
Upon hearing the catgirl's words, Su Tianqing almost burst out laughing.
"...Pfft, Kitty, your afternoon nap is way too long! I hope I didn't disturb your sleep?"
"Of course not, I was just wondering why I didn't have a reason to get up."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Cheshire Rabbit huddled to the side, not daring to utter a sound, silently admiring the couple next door.
So cute! But why do I feel like a third wheel? Rabbit Girl thought to herself.
"Speaking of which, Fox, what are you planning to do with Hyacinth today?" Nan Jiayu pressed.
Golden Hair made a shushing gesture as if to be mysterious, and showed the two of them the puppet in his hand.
"This is my latest magical creation! Don't worry, it's going to be super fun later!"
The cat girl and the rabbit girl exchanged a glance and simultaneously swallowed.
Just by looking at it, the two of them could feel the terrifying magic emanating from the puppet, a magic power comparable to that of the Shadow of Stars.
It's hard to imagine what kind of person Xin Yuehu is, capable of creating such a terrifying thing by hand.
"Then it's settled. After they show up, Cat, you talk to Hyacinth first. If she's not happy, then Rabbit, you can take action."
""learn.""
The two nodded at the same time, and the rabbit girl then quietly disappeared into the flower bushes in the park, leaving no trace.
Su Tianqing looked up at the three magical trails in the sky, hid the puppet behind her back, lowered her eyes, and smiled.
My goal for today is to use the Puppet Master on the Hyacinth and the Dream Puppet and the Sealer on the Nightingale.
So, Miss Iris
Fox, I'm really looking forward to seeing how you'll react!
