Urging for more updates, then turning into a magical girl.

Chapter 10: The Two People's Conspiracy Will Revive an Eavesdropping Character.

After entering the living room, Cheng Qi casually lay down on the sofa.

She casually took off her maid's coat and tossed it onto the back of the sofa, leaving only a black undershirt clinging to her body. Her body, tense for most of the day, finally relaxed, and she let out a long sigh.

"Playing a maid must be really tough."

Cheng Qi's true colors were revealed in an instant; her previously docile and weak facade crumbled completely, like makeup being removed.

Seeing her commander lying on the sofa in disheveled clothes, his long blue hair scattered haphazardly, Zhang Menglin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Ahem, Commander, mind your image. You're a girl now."

To be honest, Zhang Menglin truly admired Cheng Qi's ability to disguise himself with lightning-fast face-changing skills.

His gentle and serene demeanor in the maid outfit almost fooled her. She even suspected that Cheng Qi might have studied acting in college, which explained his superb acting skills.

"There are no outsiders here anyway, so it's okay to be a little more casual, right?" Although he said that, Cheng Qi still adjusted his posture slightly, put his legs down, and barely managed to straighten up a bit.

She looked up at Zhang Menglin, her tone becoming serious.

"Is everything ready?"

"Everything is ready." Zhang Menglin pushed up her glasses with her middle finger. "There will be no guards inside the base tonight, and everyone has gone back to their rooms to rest. I also made sure to turn off the alarm on Arc Moon's side to ensure that there will be no obstacles when she escapes tonight."

After finishing her report, Zhang Menglin remained silent for a moment. She hesitated for a second before speaking:

"But, Commander... will Arc Moon really take you away?"

Faced with his subordinates' concerns, Cheng Qi smiled first: "She definitely will."

Lin Yuyan's novels feature magical girls as protagonists. The core message of the novels, in fact, reflects the author's own essence.

This reveals that Lin Yuyan is a magical girl of love and hope. The biggest weakness of such a person is her strong emotions, which is why she cannot ignore those in need.

Using this advantage, Cheng Qi was confident that he could get Lin Yuyan to take him away in the next scene.

In previous conversations, she had already established that she was an orphan and therefore homeless.

Since Arc Moon brought me out here, she'll definitely take responsibility and let me stay at her place! She can't possibly send me homeless on the streets, can she?

Once I can live in Arc Moon's house, I can stay by her side for a long time and keep a close eye on her writing!

Plans are in place!

"Knowing her as I do, she would never do something like leaving me here. Just you wait and see."

Seeing that the commander was so certain of this, Zhang Menglin also became a little curious.

"Commander, you seem to know Arc Moon quite well?"

"We're not exactly close," Cheng Qi said, turning his head away. "We've only met once. And that experience... wasn't very pleasant."

He said it casually, but Zhang Menglin immediately took a few steps closer after hearing it.

"Hmm? Can you tell me about it?"

"...I already said it wasn't a pleasant experience, why do you still ask?" Cheng Qi glared at her, annoyed. "More importantly, give me one last report on the current situation in Yuanting City."

Seeing that the commander clearly didn't want to continue the topic, Zhang Menglin wisely refrained from pressing the issue. She straightened up and began her report:

"The situation in Enten-tei City... is still the same as before. The threat from the remnant beasts is not significant, and there are magical girls stationed and patrolling within Enten-tei City. As for the base, with 'Hime-head Four' stationed there, we can easily handle any attacks from the remnant beasts."

"What about the country? Any news?"

This is what Cheng Qi truly cares about. From the moment "Where the Stars Are" was established, he has been taking enormous risks, constantly waiting for the possible storm to come.

"Not yet." Zhang Menglin shook her head. "At least in the short term, there are no signs that the kingdom intends to deal with 'The Location of the Stars'."

"snort……"

Cheng Qi sneered and leaned back against the sofa.

"I didn't expect them to actually tolerate us rebels... That's a bit of a surprise."

We shouldn't be too happy yet. The nation's silence doesn't mean they are powerless to intervene; they may simply be too lazy to. At least for now, the nation's intentions remain unclear.

However, these are all things for later. "Where the Stars Are" continues to develop steadily. When it finally has the strength to realize its ideals, it's best to avoid a direct conflict with the nation.

No news is actually the best news.

"Let's take it one step at a time for now," Zhang Menglin comforted her. "Worrying about these things now doesn't give us any control. We should focus more on the infiltrators around Arc Moon."

"What are you still worried about? I already told you, she will definitely take me away—"

"That's not what I meant this time!" Zhang Menglin interrupted. "This time I was worried about your safety. You're just an ordinary person... Although you're a mage who knows a little magic, even the strongest mage would have no chance of winning against a magical girl."

"...Of course I know that." Cheng Qi's eyelids drooped, his expression utterly disdainful. "I'm already like this... do you think Hu Yue could still see through my true identity?"

"Sit properly! Sit properly!" Zhang Menglin, unable to bear it any longer, walked up to her, grabbed Cheng Qi's shoulders, and said, "Keep your legs together!"

"...I...I definitely pay attention to these details when I'm with Crescent Moon!"

"If you think you can control your habits by conscious effort, you've already lost! You must cultivate girlish habits unconsciously so your disguise will be flawless! There's still some time until tonight, Commander, you must practice changing your bad habits!"

……

Meanwhile, as the two were engaged in a lively discussion in the reception room, a purple figure quietly stopped outside the corridor by the main entrance.

She pressed herself tightly against the shadows of the wall, trying to listen to the conversation between the two people inside. However, the wall, treated with a special material, had excellent soundproofing.

The figure seemed to want to avoid being discovered, so it only flashed past the window.

The scene in the reception room surprised her slightly—

"...The girl with blue hair...? Who is that?"

Although, given her position, she had absolutely no need to observe so secretly, she had a strong premonition—

Don't make a fuss yet... something even more interesting might happen.
