Chapter 118 The Elder Brother's Service
The living room was warm and peaceful.
When Bai Youqing came out of the bathroom,
Her long, jet-black hair was still glistening with water droplets.
Bai Yuzhe had already served two steaming bowls of egg noodles, with chopsticks neatly arranged on the table. The aroma was irresistible, making one's appetite soar.
If you want to know the happiest thing at night...
Nothing beats being hungry and finding someone has already prepared a midnight snack for you, all you have to do is open your mouth and enjoy it.
Bai Youqing took a deep breath. "It smells so good!"
Ignoring her wet hair, she plopped down in the chair and began to eat heartily. Although her eating was somewhat hurried, it exuded an indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness.
"You must be a reincarnated starving ghost."
Looking at his impolite younger sister, Bai Yuze said irritably. He walked up to her, picked up the dried coin she had tossed aside, and began to gently wipe the water droplets from her long, black hair, adding a gentle reminder:
"If you don't dry your hair at night, you're more likely to catch a cold."
The girl's hair had a faint strawberry scent that was refreshing and delightful.
Her nightgown was a light white, strapless camisole, thin and loose. Standing next to the girl, he only needed to be slightly alert to see her perfect body in its entirety.
Unfortunately, he had absolutely no interest in that area.
His mind was filled with the image of Kikyo, the mage, and the curiosity of how she had discovered his whereabouts. If this problem wasn't solved, he wouldn't be able to leave the area.
They had no time to pay attention to anything else.
"Mmm~" After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Youqing let out a satisfied groan.
She chose to respond to her brother's words with silence.
Quietly and comfortably, she closed her eyes, enjoying her brother's meticulous care.
Bai Yuzhe patted the girl's head to make sure her hair was mostly dry before putting the coins back in their place, sitting back down at the table, and looking at his younger sister.
"Are you full? If not, I have more."
"I'm full."
The girl shook her head, rested her chin on her hand, and quietly looked at her brother, her lazy demeanor carrying a hint of languor.
"Why aren't you sleeping after you've eaten? What are you doing sitting here?"
Regarding his younger sister's gaze,
This put Bai Yuzhe under a lot of pressure, especially since he had done something bad tonight, and his sister was a hidden magical girl.
sometimes,
He was quite afraid that the other party would betray their own family for the sake of justice.
"You told me to sit for a while after eating before going to sleep, didn't you?"
Faced with her brother's obvious intention to expel her, the girl puffed out her cheeks and retorted angrily.
"Then stop staring at me like that. Or is there something you need my help with?"
Bai Yuzhe ate a few bites of noodles, then looked up at his younger sister, staring at her with considerable surprise and uncertainty:
"You're not going to make me write another self-criticism for you, are you?"
Bai Youqing was silent for a moment, looking at her brother with a deep gaze. She didn't expect that after so long, he would still be so attached to this.
From another perspective,
That beating was indeed very effective.
"Okay, it's nothing. I picked up a package for you on my way home today." The girl took a small box from the table and handed it to Bai Yuze.
"Um?"
Bai Yuze was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, as he didn't seem to have bought anything recently.
As he opened the package, he saw an exquisitely crafted magical girl card. The magical girl on the card seemed to be based on the Violet Wizard, and she looked so lifelike that she seemed ready to jump out of the card at any moment.
There was also a small note underneath:
Dear Black Card Member:
Hello!
As a long-time fan of magical girls,
Are you still saddened by not being able to get close to magical girls?
Are you still saddened by not being able to confide in your favorite magical girl?

New store address: [Moon Bay 2nd Road, next to Magical Girl Headquarters]
New store opening date: [April 8, 2024]
"Cough cough!!"
Bai Yuze's violent coughing sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet restaurant.
He raised his head.
Seeing Bai Youqing's eyes sparkling with curiosity, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. Could it be that his identity had been exposed?
Bai Yuze pointed to the contents of the letter, his voice tinged with surprise and doubt: "You knew all along?"
"Guess?" Her voice carried a hint of smugness, as if she had already grasped some important secret.
"This...this black card must be expensive, right, brother? Are you perhaps a member of the hidden magical girl guardian group?" Bai Youqing continued to ask, a hint of anticipation on her face.
"Phew~" Hearing his sister say that, Bai Yuzhe felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
"Well... um—of course I like magical girls, after all, it's because of them that we can live a peaceful and safe life in Yeqiu City, but I'm not—"
His own sister is a magical girl, so he can't possibly say he doesn't like magical girls!
"Brother, you don't need to say anything, I understand. Every man has secrets and little quirks, you know~"
Looking at her embarrassed brother, the girl thought to herself, "My brother likes magical girls, and I am a magical girl."
Her lips curled up slightly, forming a sweet smile, but she seemed afraid of being too flamboyant, so she always gently pursed her lips.
Bai Yuzhe looked at the foolish girl in front of him, lost in her own fantasies.
I wanted to complain, but I didn't know how to say it.
you understand?
You know nothing!
I don't know who sent me this card, or what it's for.
In the silent hall, the young man and woman sat facing each other. Perhaps it was the younger sister's strange gaze that made them feel uneasy.
Bai Yuze didn't feel at ease while eating until he had eaten two-thirds of it.
Bai Youqing spoke.
Those bright, sparkling eyes seemed to reveal a hint of embarrassment.
"Brother, are you full?"
"what?"
Bai Yuzhe looked up, not yet understanding the meaning behind the other person's words, when the graceful girl had already taken away the bowl and chopsticks in front of him without any politeness.
He picked up his chopsticks and started slurping the food in big gulps.
In no time at all
The girl had already devoured the rest of the noodles, not even leaving a drop of soup.
Looking at his younger sister, Bai Yuzhe sighed deeply, unsure of what to say.
"...I asked you earlier if you were full, and you clearly said you were."
"I only filled one stomach, the second one is still hungry, so I should treat them both equally!"
Bai Youqing chuckled, her words carrying a hint of playfulness.
Bai Yuzhe was already used to this. His younger sister had always had a huge appetite since she was little, and she would eat his food after finishing her own.
He had prepared enough food for two portions per person, but his younger sister still wasn't full.
I really don't know how her stomach is shaped like that.
In response, he reminded the other person while tidying up, "That won't do either. Eating too much at night is bad for your stomach."
"Okay, okay."
Before leaving, Bai Youqing made a face at him.
Looking at his lively younger sister, Bai Yuzhe felt inexplicably much better. If there were a mood comfort level, he would definitely get a +5 rating.
The dishes and chopsticks were washed clean.
The lights in Bai Youqing's room were already off.
He walked to the table in the living room and began to help organize his sister's various study books, labeling them and putting them into her schoolbag one by one.
Leaning back on the sofa, quietly lost in thought,
quite a while,
Bored, he turned on his phone and started checking out Kikyo Magica's CCSA Moments.
This can also be considered one of the ways he learned about Kikyo's whereabouts.
If you were to ask Kikyo the Magician what her hobby is, it would be posting beautiful landscape photos after resolving each calamity event.
Today is no exception.
The filming location was the flower bed that Bai Yuze saw in front of him.
Violets and cherry blossoms quietly bloomed.
A woman dressed as a shrine maiden stood quietly nearby.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and a few strands swayed gently in the breeze.
The two blend together perfectly.
The night view is beautiful.
The only problem was that the person next to me was a bit of an eyesore.
After selectively saving a few night scene photos without any people in them, Bai Yuze turned off his phone.
More than anything, he was actually hoping the other person would accidentally reveal his home address.
We'll set up hundreds or thousands of Abyss Summoning Circles at their doorstep, then summon the other three Abyss Demonesses for a big attack.
Let her see what the treacherous depths of the abyss are like.
Just thinking about it makes me so happy!
"Aha~"
Lost in thought, Bai Yuze yawned on the sofa and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
The surroundings became completely quiet, and the sofa beneath him seemed to transform into a light, floating cloud. His body began to fall from the sky, and a sense of weightlessness washed over him.
Fortunately, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared after a short while.
A familiar sense of ambiguity washed over me again.
However, on the other hand, there is also an unprecedented sense of clarity.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Somewhat confused.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What are you planning to do?
Looking down,
The beautiful plains below came into view again, with reds and greens, birds singing, everything was so beautiful.
I remember now.
She is the Demoness of the Abyss, Phantom Butterfly, and is about to travel to a city called Winterscape in order to obtain the key and summon the Lord of the Abyss.
Having learned everything,
The phantom butterfly raised its head, its wings suddenly spread wide, and it gracefully flew into the sky.
Ten thousand meters in the air, she felt no fear whatsoever.
To describe how I feel right now...
That is freedom, unparalleled freedom.
Boom!
Suddenly, a blinding, deep blue light descended from the sky. As if sensing something, Huan Die's body flashed, and the massive, terrifying lightning bolt passed by the spot where she had just been, like the divine punishment descended by a god.
The carefree mood of the phantom butterfly vanished completely.
All that remained was anger.
If she hadn't dodged quickly enough, she would have been severely crippled, if not killed. The speed at which these insects update and iterate their magic is truly remarkable.
She didn't even need to dodge the lightning strikes before; she could just stand there and let them hit her without them even hurting her.
But now, if they really chop it down,
Even if you don't die, you'll be badly injured.
Fortunately, this strange magic has very limited limitations; it seems to be found only in specific cities, and it appears to consume an extreme amount of something called electricity.
electricity?
"Hmm!"
As if recalling something, Huan Die suddenly clutched her head and began to convulse in pain in mid-air.
It wasn't until quite a while later, when a butterfly-wing-like earring appeared on the tip of her ear, that her pale purple eyes slowly regained their composure.
