"My sister has always loved Magical Girls since she was little."
Li Yi had changed into a sowhat childish pink pajama.
It was sothing Keke wore when she was in elentary school, just right for Li Yi...
Fortunately, after their parents passed away, Keke didn’t throw away her childhood clothes because she was nostalgic.
Both of them held a cup in their hands, it was milk tea Keke brought back yesterday.
"Back then, I actually didn’t believe in the existence of Magical Girls, but my sister was always so sure that Magical Girls must exist. She always wanted to play the ga of pretending to be Magical Girls with , making magical girl dresses for , and we’d fight monsters together. The codena Yin Lian was also thought up by her..."
After a whole day of silence, when the dazed Li Yi finally began to confess, Keke quietly listened beside her.
When their parents passed away, she had a similar ti.
Wanting to vent, to find soone to talk to about the past with her parents to lessen her pain.
But Jiang Si wasn’t there for her back then, and Keke couldn’t talk to unfamiliar relatives, so she ended up crying alone in front of her parents’ photos, complaining until she fell asleep exhausted.
She didn’t want Yiyi to be like her, so she quietly sat next to her, hoping to ease her pain.
"Later, my sister couldn’t beco a Magical Girl, but I did. Although she never said it to , I know she was very disappointed and sad. Everywhere she went, she was not as good as her sister who beca a Magical Girl. My sister worked hard from a young age but never received a Miracle Seed. I was secretly pleased I could catch up to her, yet I knew it was completely unfair to her."
"There’s no point in talking about fairness." Keke took Li Yi’s empty cup and placed it on the bedside table, "The selection of Magical Girls is pretty random, it’s not sothing people can control."
"Hmm."
Curled up, hugging her legs, Li Yi rested her chin on her knees, "My sister never gave up on her dream of being a Magical Girl, I know that. She often risked facing Disaster Beasts, hoping to get a Miracle Seed, but she never succeeded, and almost lost her life the last ti. When I saved her, she suddenly beca very scary, scolding for not wanting her to beco a Magical Girl..."
A soft sigh escaped.
Yin Luo being a mber of the Witch Association was already announced by the Disaster Strategy Bureau.
Both Li Yi and Keke knew about it.
The Disaster Strategy Bureau quickly notified Li Yi, afraid she’d cause trouble, and provided all the evidence.
Keke felt there was no need to be so anxious...
Yiyi obviously didn’t have the ability to seek revenge, and Keke believed she wasn’t reckless.
Though small in stature, sotis appearing naïve and cute, Yiyi was a very competent captain of the Magic Girl Combat Team.
Yet she could understand the Disaster Strategy Bureau’s thoughts, but it still felt uncomfortable.
"Actually, I know my sister is quite unwilling. Obviously, she put in the most effort but got nothing. Every ti she sees transform into a Magical Girl, she’s both proud and resentful, and always seems lonely, I know it all."
Speaking slowly, Yiyi pulled out a seed from nowhere.
Seeing the seed, Keke was stunned.
Yiyi’s seed was pink, she had seen it, and Yiyi’s seed was only New Seedling Level.
She understood the magic’s reserve and nature at the New Seedling Level as she was about to enter it herself.
But the seed before her was not only white but was clearly not Yiyi’s Miracle Seed.
The internal magic’s reserve and nature were clearly far superior to New Seedling; it should be Full Bloom Level...
"The Disaster Strategy Bureau has three unclaid Miracle Seeds."
Yiyi stared at the Miracle Seed in her hand, "I applied to the Disaster Strategy Bureau for one, though they disagreed, but eventually, I got one. I want to fight alongside my sister, for her to beco a Magical Girl, just like when we were kids, fighting monsters together..."
At this point, Li Yi couldn’t help but start sobbing softly, burying her head in her knees:
"It was so close, why did it turn out like this, Keke..."
Holding Yiyi, Keke also had red eyes, not knowing what to say.
Having been with Jiang Si for so many years, she wasn’t good at comforting people, so she cried with Yiyi.
Sobbing for a good while, Li Yi clutched the Miracle Seed, sobbing, "Back then, the Disaster Strategy Bureau wouldn’t give a single seed, yet today, this is all that’s left for ."
Keke was about to say sothing when she heard Jiang Si’s footsteps descending from upstairs.
Yiyi sobbed quietly, Jiang Si changed his shoes quietly at the door and without hesitation, pushed the door open and walked out.
Familiar sounds, familiar situations, the rain outside was still drizzling.
It seed nothing had really changed.
"My sister used to hate the Witch Association the most because they always hurt the Magical Girls she loved and made her idol Susan unable to transform. Every ti she talked about the Witch Association and Cyan Cloud Sect, she was full of hatred."
Li Yi’s quiet confession pulled Keke back to reality, listening to her unwilling and aggrieved voice:
"How could she be part of the Witch Association?"
So Keke quietly said, "Because she was too impatient, wanting to beco a Magical Girl, and ended up going down the wrong path. Susan said she eventually transford."
"Yes, I saw it."
Yiyi said dazedly, "But that’s not a Magical Girl at all, it’s just a Witch. How could she be satisfied with that, just because facing Teacher Zi Yuan, she got killed..."
Her tone grew more difficult and hoarse, until she could no longer speak.
Teacher Zi Yuan wouldn’t kill the innocent.
In the end, Keke couldn’t bring herself to say those words.
Hidden in their cries, thunder rumbled loudly outside, Keke thought it was going to rain heavily, and tilted her head to look.
Jiang Si was crazily training in the courtyard...
No matter how many tis, Keke always thought it was absurd yet wondrous.
By Jiang Si’s side, there were never such painful and agonizing emotions.
It was as if his world was entirely independent, not fitting in here.
Every ti she looked, it seed like she was seeing a person from another world.
For the first ti, Keke envied Jiang Si a bit.
"Perhaps I should have challenged Zi Yuan back then."
"Boom!"
Like thunder, a huge sound reverberated outside the window.
Retracting her gaze, Keke snuggled close to her friend, grabbing her hand, "That wouldn’t be right."
"I actually guessed back then, Zi Yuan had her reasons because she never killed the wrong person. I even saw my sister transform into a Witch, but at that mont, I didn’t think much, just wanted to hold my sister, hoping she was still alive."
Pushed away from Keke, Li Yi lay sideways on the bed, "Later I kept thinking, if only I’d fought against Zi Yuan back then, although I wouldn’t have been her match, although I wouldn’t be justified, but I could say, because my sister passed, I couldn’t maintain reason, everyone would understand."
"Unlike now, I clearly can’t forgive, can’t forgive her for killing my sister, for not letting see my sister one last ti, for not knowing what my sister thought, for not saving her. But, I clearly understand she was right, I can’t even consider revenge against her, even the hatred feels unwarranted."
Keke numbly replied with sothing Jiang Si had said:
"As ti goes on, it will get better..."
"It feels so unfair, obviously my sister’s killer, but she was right, I can’t do anything."
Yiyi turned to look at Keke, "If I eventually can’t help but seek revenge on Zi Yuan, will you help , Keke?"
"I will stop you," Keke replied without hesitation, "Absolutely won’t let you go!"
Another loud thunder echoed outside, Keke resisted the impulse not to turn and look.
Silently curling her lips, Li Yi took out her Miracle Seed.
The originally pink seed had turned pitch black.
"Don’t worry, I won’t do it, because I can no longer transform, Keke."
...
Outside, having trained to the limit, Jiang Si took a deep breath.
The Egg of Calamity had completely settled; he went inside, took a shower, and slept soundly.
His physical strength had increased again, as long as he could maintain the magic supply from the Egg of Calamity.
His body could finally step into the Early Stage of New Seedling.
