Chapter 156 The Shadow of the Stars
Hellcat stood between Su Tianqing and the Razor Monster.
The cat raised its fist, ready for battle, protecting the little fox behind it.
Su Tianqing stared blankly at the dark blue magical girl who had suddenly appeared before her, her shock beyond words.
Hellcat?
Small fish?
In that instant, all the memories of the past gradually surfaced, and the silhouette of Nan Jiayu and the silhouette of Hellcat gradually overlapped.
The little fish is a cat.
Cats are small fish.
The magical girl who blushes at a few flirty words, the adorable catgirl he adores, is none other than the catgirl he spends every day with.
What's the deal with the relationship that I've been struggling with all this time?
Hesitating between the two cats, pondering whether Fox should give her first kiss to Hellcat or Little Fish, and even feeling a little uneasy about replenishing magic power, thinking that more intimate actions should be reserved for after the relationship is completely confirmed...
Now that we know the two cats are actually the same person, doesn't that make my caution seem completely unnecessary?
Su Tianqing felt inexplicably annoyed.
But if Little Fish is Hellcat... has she realized that she is Heart Moon Fox? This thought immediately popped into Su Tianqing's mind.
But judging from Xiaoyu's reaction, she seems to still believe that she has no connection with Xinyuehu at all, and even takes the initiative to block the strange man in front of her. She probably didn't realize it.
……Wait a moment,
The villainous fox sensed something was amiss.
Does this mean that while Xiaoyu maintained a relationship with "Su Tianqing", she also maintained an almost equally close relationship with "Xinyuehu"?
Su Tianqing narrowed her eyes and looked at the catgirl in front of her with a very subtle gaze.
—The fox people are a race made of vinegar jars.
Even though she knew perfectly well that both foxes were her, the thought of Xiaoyu's almost equal affection for both foxes still bothered her...
Little fish, little fish... Although these two are both foxes in their true form, can this behavior be considered stealing fish?
I'll find a chance to tease her next time.
This innocent catgirl will definitely have some interesting expressions if both Su Tianqing and Xin Yuehu start torturing her~
Before this thought could expand, the catgirl suddenly stepped back to her side, scooped her up with her cat-paw gauntlets, and held her in the girl's arms.
Flight magic activated.
"Huh?!"
As the Hellcat flew into the air, Su Tianqing hurriedly gripped the catgirl's shoulders tightly, afraid that if she let go, she would fall and be smashed into a fox pancake.
"Clang! Clang!"
The Razor Man stood on the ground, looking up at the Hellcat taking off, his razors clicking and clacking all over his body, as if lamenting the loss of his prey.
Hellcat looked down at Razor Man and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she managed to protect Tian Qing. Nan Jiayu thought to herself.
Why didn't the Razor Man attack just now? Was it holding back something?
That shouldn't be the case. If its goal is Tianqing, it should be trying its best to keep up with me. Why is it staying in place and not daring to move forward?
Was it because of the magical suppression I had exerted on it? But it had been a while since I last replenished my magical power from Heart Moon Fox, and my magical reserves shouldn't be enough to make it feel afraid...
As Hellcat pondered the reason, it looked up and met the gaze of the pure white figure not far away.
"!!!"
Magical Girl Iris.
The pure white magical girl floated in the air, staring blankly at herself. The faint trace of magic on the horizon seemed to indicate that she had not been here for very long, or perhaps had just arrived.
The surging magical power emanating from her sent chills down Nan Jiayu's spine; she was far more terrifying than usual.
Even her pristine white gown seemed to be tinged with the somber shadows of night, making even the villain feel a chill run down his spine.
No wonder the Razor Frog didn't dare to come forward; with her murderous appearance, no one would dare to provoke her!
"...Hellcat?"
The girl's soft whispers echoed in the sky.
Hua Ling had no idea what she was thinking at that moment, nor could she hear Bai Ling's anxious calls beside her. Her eyes were fixed on the golden figure in Hellcat's arms, her mind a complete blank.
I was a step too late.
I set off immediately upon receiving the notification, but I still missed it.
Sister Tianqing is in Hellcat's hands.
Hellcat is the villain; she's the one who kidnapped Sister Tianqing.
The strange man on the ground that she knew so well was no longer that important. Karin tried to force herself to aim the magic cannon at the Razor Monster, but she couldn't lower the muzzle at all.
The girl gripped her wand tightly with trembling hands, her heart seemingly filled with the starry night sky.
He had entrusted everything to Sister Tianqing.
As long as Sister Tianqing is there, I can persevere and find a way to rescue Hyacinth and Nightingale.
But what if I lose her too...
—We can't let Hellcat take away Sister Tianqing.
—Absolutely not allowed.
"...Miss Iris."
After a long silence, Nan Jiayu spoke softly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the magic cannon that was originally aimed at the Razor Man suddenly pointed at him, its dark muzzle gathering magic power, as if it were ready to fire a magic cannon shot at any moment.
"Let her go," Iris said coldly.
"Listen to me, Miss Iris, I was just passing by when I happened to see the Razor Man attacking—"
Do you think I'd believe what you're saying?
silence.
Before the catgirl could finish speaking, Iris Flower's magic cannon was already poised to fire, interrupting her prepared speech.
Nan Jiayu was stunned for a moment before realizing that the golden fox in her arms had closed its eyes due to motion sickness and looked as if it had passed out, sleeping peacefully.
Done!
Holding a little fox in her arms, Iris probably thought she was planning to kidnap Ame-no-Sunny. This misunderstanding might not have been a big deal under normal circumstances, but in this situation...
"Miss Iris, calm down. Let's deal with that razor-sharp monster on the ground first..."
"Crack!!!"
The magic cannon fires.
A beam of magical energy descended from the sky and enveloped the Razor Man. Before it could react, it was completely engulfed by the immense and terrifying magical power!
Smoke and dust scattered everywhere, and dust filled the sky.
Nan Jiayu shielded the golden fox in her arms, blocking the flying pebbles and dirt.
"Cough...cough cough cough..."
Choked by the smoke and dust, the catgirl coughed a few times and looked down at the ground, which had turned into a large crater.
The road was blown away, the remains of the Razor Man were scattered all over the ground, and several large holes were blown into nearby houses, with bricks flying everywhere and the ground in a mess.
And in the billowing dust, a deep, dark night, seemingly from among the stars, emerged from the smoke and dust.
A pure white magical girl—?
—No,
The once pristine white magical girl emerged from the dust, her white gown now stained a deep, dark hue by the night. She floated silently in the air, her eyes closed.
Nan Jiayu was covered in cold sweat.
What's going on?
Iris... no, is the person in front of me really an iris?
The magic cannon floating beside her changed its appearance dramatically, transforming into two twin-mounted magic cannons, their black muzzles pointing directly at her!
Magical Girl Iris☆Shadow of the Stars!
...or rather, the dark shadows of the stars.
