Chapter 146 The Starry Fox
Chapter 146 The Starry Fox
"Heart Moon Fox! It's you causing trouble again!"
Hyacinth floated in the air, raising the greatsword in its hand and pointing it directly at the golden fox sitting on the bench.
Heart Moon Fox grinned, floated to the treetop, and looked at Hyacinth and the other two not far away.
Her fluffy tail swayed behind her, her skirt fluttered in the wind, and her golden figure seemed to be leaning against the moon, revealing a radiant smile.
"Good evening, Miss Hyacinth~ Miss Iris and Miss Nightingale are here too, did they come especially to play with me, Fox~?"
"Stop joking! We're here to stop you!"
"Hyacinth!" the hyacinth exclaimed.
"You're not going to cause any trouble here today!"
"Really? But I was just taking a leisurely stroll in the park, how could I have done anything bad or caused any damage?"
The golden fox smiled happily.
"Furthermore, the damage that Hyacinth-san caused to the surrounding area during her battle... seems to be greater than the damage I caused."
"Don't slander me! I've always been very restrained!" Hyacinth said angrily, but felt that she didn't have the right to criticize Heart Moon Fox.
I have to admit that the aftershocks I created during the fight were indeed very large, and the damage to the surrounding environment was even greater than that caused by the magic missiles that Xin Yuehu specifically launched.
But isn't this because the Heart Moon Fox only attacks the ground?! It's all that cunning fox's fault!
Nan Xiaofeng comforted herself in her heart.
"In short, we're going to stop you today!"
"real?"
"Of course I'm serious!"
"Miss Hyacinth, have you forgotten the condition you promised when we met last time?"
"Conditions? What--"
Before she could finish speaking, Hyacinth suddenly recalled the scene of picking up the wrong fox before, and immediately showed a panicked expression when she saw the cat girl next to Heart Moon Fox.
"Looks like you've forgotten," Su Tianqing grinned. "Miss Hyacinth, didn't you promise us you'd 'do anything'?"
"Th-th-that...that is..."
Hyacinth seemed a little lost.
Just as Nightingale had predicted: Hellcat, that battle-crazed maniac, might not make any demands, but she would definitely collude with Heartmoon Fox to commit evil deeds!
I don't know what kind of conditions Hellcat will propose, but I definitely won't agree to anything too outrageous!
"...Okay, tell me your conditions."
Hyacinth gritted her teeth and said,
"But let's make this clear first, anything too extreme is not allowed!"
"Hehe~ Don't worry, I, Fox, would never make any unreasonable demands~"
The golden fox revealed a sly smile, and Hyacinth's heart skipped a beat; she suddenly felt a pang of regret.
But since things have come to this point, wouldn't it seem like I'm being untrustworthy if I didn't agree?
The iris and the nightingale exchanged a glance, but didn't say anything more, since it was the hyacinth's own condition.
"I don't think things are that simple," Nightingale said softly.
"Xin Yuehu must have had ulterior motives for suddenly bringing this up."
"Yes, but I did agree to their conditions after all, so..." Iris replied with a troubled expression.
But the words that came out of the golden fox's mouth made the group of people suddenly pause in surprise:
"Well then, Miss Hyacinth."
"Fox, I have a brand new spell that needs a test subject. I wonder if Miss Hyacinth... would you be willing to take on my challenge?"
silence.
The group exchanged glances, and Hyacinth was the first to shake her head.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I wouldn't do something so dangerous."
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."
The little fox grinned.
"I assure you, my next spell isn't a lethal one, and Miss Nightingale can cast a powerful magical shield for you, so you definitely won't get hurt~"
"……real?"
"Really? When have I ever lied to you?" Su Tianqing replied with a smile.
Hyacinth hesitated for a moment.
If these are the conditions, then it might actually be acceptable, and it would also allow me to repay this favor and avoid any future problems.
"Okay, I promise, but you have to give us time to prepare."
Heart Moon Fox wasn't in a hurry; she floated in the air alongside Hellcat, waiting.
Nightingale immediately cast all the defensive magic she could on her companion—from magical shields to special armors for various unique spells, the sheer thickness of which left even Iris speechless.
Such a thick shield... even with her own firepower, it would take several rounds of magic cannon fire to break it. Nightingale's potential as a magical girl is truly terrifying.
With such thick defenses, Xin Yuehu should have no chance against them...
"Are you ready, Miss Hyacinth?"
"bring it on!"
Hyacinth entered the Starry Shadow state, sending White Spirit behind her back back to Nightingale and Iris. She raised her greatsword and fiercely guarded the golden fox in front of her.
Looking at the hyacinths stacked like a giant shield, Su Tianqing felt even happier.
Excellent, this is exactly how it looks. This is worthy of the super powerful item that I, the fox, specially redeemed for you using a free item!
However, if I want to fully utilize the seven-day control over the puppet, my original magical power seems insufficient; I'll have to use that other technique instead.
"Hehehe, it seems you're fully prepared, Miss Hyacinth."
"Well then... I'm going to go now, Fox."
The golden fox raised its hand and gently stroked the guardian star on its heart, causing it to radiate the brilliant light of countless stars.
Not only the three hyacinths, but even the catgirl and the Cheshire Rabbit lurking on the ground were suddenly startled.
"That starlight?... Wait a minute! Heart Moon Fox! Who are you...!?"
Bai Ling cried out to Su Tianqing in alarm.
But before she could finish speaking, the golden fox reappeared from the starlight, and the Heart Moon Magic Wand appeared before everyone in a brand new form.
The hem of the skirt is adorned with countless stars, and the ribbons extend like the Milky Way, creating a bright galaxy.
Magical Girl Kokoro: Shadow of the Stars!
"W-what?"
Hyacinth looked on in astonishment.
Heart Moon Fox... transformed into the Shadow of Stars...?
How is this possible! Isn't she the villain?! How can a villain without the favor of the stars also—
"Take this, Miss Hyacinth."
Su Tianqing smiled and raised the silk thread in her hand, suspending the puppet in her hand and controlling the puppet to look up at the hyacinth.
As magic was infused, the puppet shone with dazzling starlight, enveloping the bewildered hyacinth!
...
A moment of silence.
Heartmoon Fox's Starry Shadow only lasted for the duration of a single spell before fading away, and Hyacinth remained in the pose of raising her greatsword, as if nothing had happened.
"...What happened?"
Nightingale was the first to recover from the shock. Looking at the golden-haired fox, who looked no different from usual, she suddenly wondered if she had misjudged him.
But the little fox shrouded in starlight in my memory is so clear that I could not possibly be mistaken.
"Hyacinth! Are you alright?"
Bai Ling was the first to react, and rushed to Hyacinth's side, shaking her shoulder.
Putting aside what magic Heart Moon Fox used just now and what outrageous villainous Starry Shadow state she displayed, the most important thing is to check Hyacinth's condition first!
The girl slowly lowered the greatsword, and Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that she was unharmed.
"Phew... thank goodness you're alright. I didn't expect Xin Yuehu to also have the Shadow of Stars. We have to get serious about dealing with her!"
"...Yes, I, Fox, also have the shadow of the stars."
Their unanimous words surprised everyone once again.
Hyacinth slowly turned around, and the golden fox tried to raise her hand. Hyacinth followed her movement and raised her hand as well.
In that instant, Hua Ling seemed to see countless threads of starlight clinging to the hyacinth, like a puppet on strings.
Hyacinth looked up at the two people in front of her, Hana and Rin, a golden light flashing in her eyes, revealing a cunning smile that was exactly the same as that of Heart Moon Fox.
"I'm sorry, Miss Iris."
"Hyacinth" said softly, her tone remarkably like that of a certain golden fox.
"Today, no one will stand in your way anymore~"
