The tiny girl in her heart, originally mysterious and aloof yet sowhat gentle, suddenly gained a ruthlessness and decisiveness utterly at odds with her cute appearance.
Since she was saved by Senior Cui Que back then, Keke has been following news about various magical girls and has never seen the words "magical girl" and "murder" linked together.
In the world of magical girls, such cruelty is indeed rare...
Holding the magic wand, Keke realized for the first ti that her power wasn’t just for dealing with disaster beasts.
Power is power; it doesn’t distinguish its target. It can eliminate disaster beasts and also, kill a person.
Feeling the sowhat terrifying magic power within her, she first recognized the weight of the identity of a magical girl.
Looking up, various machines were pulled over, trucks, forklifts, and excavators, to ensure that the battles between disaster beasts and magical girls wouldn’t impact the citizens’ normal lives; repair services in major cities were rather speedy.
It is also one of the major expenditures of the Disaster Strategy Bureau. Maintaining such a departnt’s quick response capability has always been quite costly.
Amidst the engine’s roar, as Keke walked outside following Yin Lian, she suddenly said, "Teacher Zi Yuan says I’m more suited for the Disaster Strategy Bureau, not the Cyan Cloud Sect."
Peony pretended not to hear, quickly ran to the roadside, and rode her electric bike.
Sounds like sothing troubleso, better pretend I know nothing and go back to sleep...
Yin Lian looked back at this junior she had finally found, her tone softened a bit, "Seems she still has so conscience."
"I feel Teacher Zi Yuan is not the type to lie," Keke emphasized and then continued, "I’m indeed not quite suitable for the Cyan Cloud Sect. I’m not strong, my personality is weak, and I’m timid; if I go, I’ll only hold you guys back."
"It’s not that bad..."
"Only the Disaster Strategy Bureau is suitable for ."
"Why do I feel this is strange, do you look down on the Disaster Strategy Bureau?"
"No, just speaking the truth."
"..."
Seeing the captain’s silence, Jiang Keke took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and detransford in a secluded spot, "Captain Yin Lian, I want to beco stronger and more mature."
"I want that too."
The short girl who had detransford murmured quietly and then said, "Then tomorrow let’s go find Senior Hyacinth for special training. We must defeat that boastful little purple shortie! Senior Hyacinth is the strongest magical girl in Beihai City!"
"Can she beat Teacher Zi Yuan?"
"... Anyway, she’s the strongest magical girl in Beihai."
Keke understood in her heart and didn’t pursue further, only changing the subject, "Also, Captain, in terms of height, you don’t have the advantage."
"I’ll definitely grow taller soon!"
...
When Jiang Keke returned ho, she saw Jiang Si sitting at the dining table.
Two dishes were made, one vegetarian and one at, using leftovers from yesterday.
He must have just showered; his hair was still damp, and his clothes were brand-new.
In fact, not long after Teacher Zi Yuan left, when Yin Lian had contacted Peony, it was already confird that Jiang Si was fine and had gotten ho.
So the two of them weren’t in a rush and started debating who exactly Teacher Zi Yuan had killed, even calling Peony over.
Entering the house, Keke put down her small bag, took off her shoes, and put on her slippers.
"Where did you go?"
Jiang Si sat very properly while eating, ticulously, always giving off a tense, oppressive vibe.
Of course, Keke wasn’t afraid; she replied nonchalantly, "Task from the Disaster Strategy Bureau."
When going to the bathroom, Jiang Si asked again, "Why is the floor not fixed?"
"Uncle said he doesn’t have ti, wait until next month."
Jiang Si furrowed his brows slightly, "Give the phone."
"It’s in the bag, get it yourself."
She wasn’t worried that Jiang Si would pry into her phone ssages because he was never interested in such things.
Even if it were opened in front of him, Jiang Si wouldn’t bother to look.
When she returned after using the bathroom and washing up, Jiang Si had already hung up the phone.
"He’ll co over to help fix the floor at four tomorrow afternoon; you need to be there."
"Okay."
As for how he persuaded uncle, Keke didn’t know and didn’t want to ask.
When she was about to eat, Jiang Si habitually got up, quickly finished the leftovers, and headed to the kitchen to wash dishes and leave.
"Wait a mont."
Jiang Keke stopped him, "I have sothing I want to ask you."
"No ti."
Used to his response, Keke didn’t care and continued to ask, "Did you et soone from the Witch Association today?"
While washing dishes, Jiang Si raised an eyebrow, "You an the non-mainstream one with seeds on his forehead?"
"Yes, that’s him."
"t him."
"Did you see a woman in a black robe?"
"No."
This was already the longest conversation between the siblings in three years.
After they finished talking, Keke didn’t ask further, and Jiang Si also stopped speaking. When he finished washing and putting away the dishes, Jiang Keke placed a bracelet on the table.
"Wear this, it’s issued by the Disaster Strategy Bureau."
"What is it?"
"To prevent you from being targeted by mbers of the Witch Association," Keke said coldly, "It’s issued to the families of magical girls."
"Don’t need it."
Jiang Si headed upstairs, "Just take care of yourself."
Actually, she wasn’t surprised by this outco.
Keke picked up the Disaster Strategy Bureau’s bracelet and casually tossed it onto the shoe cabinet.
Whether he wears it or not, she had no patience to persuade Jiang Si.
If sothing happens, it’s his own doing and has nothing to do with her.
After putting the leftover dishes from the table into the refrigerator, Keke didn’t have much appetite and just drank so water before returning to her room.
She made a phone call to the captain, and after telling her about this matter, Yin Lian was a bit upset too.
"How can he be like this, I’ll go find him tomorrow!"
"Doesn’t matter, in any case, I think it’s good if people from the Witch Association teach him a lesson."
"As long as there’s no life threat, that’d be fine... I’ll talk to him tomorrow; Keke, you don’t have to worry about it or take it to heart, I’ll speak to him for you!"
"Don’t worry, I’m used to it."
Keke couldn’t help but chuckle at Li Yi’s indignant voice, "You were always defending Jiang Si before."
"Hmph, I said I’m neutral, only looking at right or wrong, not people, just like I’ll do against Zi Yuan or Jiang Si."
"Okay, okay, absolutely fair and just Captain Yin Lian."
With the phone wedged between her shoulder and ear, Keke clipped her toenails, asking, "You’re off tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah, I’m off."
"By the way, how co you guys have extra classes on Saturday in your first year of high school?"
"Our class loves studying and requested it..."
"Who would believe that?"
Yin Lian sighed, "Can’t help it, elite class, have to learn more on Saturdays."
"It’s amazing you can balance academics with the work of a magical girl, Yin Lian."
"Just okay, Senior Hyacinth is more amazing. Once I talk to your brother tomorrow, we’ll find Senior Hyacinth for special training."
"Mm."
After chatting about so casual girls’ topics, Yin Lian hung up the phone.
She was sitting in the police car, with Yue Ji driving next to her. When the call ended, Yue Ji slowly spoke, "Didn’t you tell her about Peony’s evaluation of Jiang Si?"
Yin Lian rubbed her temples, "No need to speak about it now; it’s still uncertain, and if nothing turns out to be wrong, she’ll have worried for nothing."
"It doesn’t seem like her to worry about her brother anyway?"
"These siblings have a poor relationship on the surface, but as their only family, they must still care for each other in their hearts, probably," Yin Lian mumbled, "And maybe it’s just Peony’s ability malfunctioning and coincidentally missing Jiang Si?"
"Unlikely, Peony said since you asked her to find him, she’s been unable to see Jiang Si, both past and present, until he ca ho."
Yue Ji looked worried, "And compared to the Cyan Cloud Sect, Jiang Si’s possible connection with the Witch Association is greater; the Cyan Cloud Sect only accepts magical girls, and he has interacted with people from the Witch Association, combined with his inexplicable physical strength, you need to be ntally prepared."
With a sigh, Yin Lian leaned against the car window, gazing out into the dark night.
This is really a big headache...
