Chapter 18: The Silver-Haired Witch, Enslaving the Magical Girls
Mi Xian shirt, this is Mi Xian’s account, of course, Mi Xian is just her codename as a Monster Association cadre.
“Hey, I remember this guy.”
Tang Nai said with interest, holding a finger biscuit and looking at the ID on the handheld game console.
“You’ve seen this guy?”
“Yeah, I still have that guy’s apology picture. Here it is.”
Tang Nai showed Sumu the picture, which featured a black-haired girl biting her clothing corner, leaning against a mattress, exposing her flat and tight belly, with both hands holding a sign saying “I’m very sorry!” above her petite navel.
Since Sumu had just seen Mi Xian not long ago, she could almost imagine the sweet and cute shame revealed on that delicate face, despite trembling and wanting to cover up. However, her flushed neck betrayed her.
I also need such an apology, for my lost monitor!
“Did you open a box with her?”
Tang Nai shook her head and bit the biscuit in half.
“Can’t open it, her ability is quite unique, probably something related to hiding.”
Upon hearing this, Sumu could not help but feel confused.
“How did you scare her like that without opening a box?”
“Tch, that’s easy. I just silenced her account for a while, and she became honest.”
That’s true; after all, she’s an essential source of magic power. If she’s silenced for too long, Mi Xian would starve to death.
Becoming a C-Rank monster, Mi Xian’s basic abilities relied on the “Mi Xian shirt” account, which meant she couldn’t create a secondary account to gain magic power. Once the account was banned, it would be over for her.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that internet-based monsters are a bit too fragile. Even ordinary people without abilities can damage their core through reports.
But Sumu back then wouldn’t be restricted; after all, she was just an E-Rank miscellaneous monster that hadn’t even formed a monster core, making it very easy for her to change her identity.
With that in mind, Sumu couldn’t help but feel puzzled about why Mi Xian could become a C-Rank monster while she remained an E-Rank.
Could it be that I actually awakened the talent of a Magical Girl?
Sumu shook her head, unable to understand, as her knowledge in this area was indeed too limited.
But what she needed to do now was very simple: to ruthlessly torment Mi Xian!
First, silence her account, and when her power dwindles to almost nothing, bring her out with the cost of a permanent ban, then take some absolutely undisclosed photos to threaten her…
As she pondered, Sumu was startled by her own thoughts, as this way of acting was surprisingly similar to someone else.
That’s right, it was Tang Nai; she might actually do something like this.
Have I unknowingly picked up her wicked tastes while being toyed with?
Sumu quickly dismissed the idea of tormenting Mi Xian like that.
Anyone can learn from others, but she must not learn from a bad woman like Tang Nai, or she will be doomed!
But she must take revenge for the monitor; otherwise, she couldn’t swallow this anger.
Just as she was conflicted, a perfect idea suddenly appeared in Sumu’s mind.
A way to talk face to face with Mi Xian without worrying about her suddenly becoming violent.
Sumu silenced Mi Xian’s account and quickly sent her a message. After doing all this, Sumu’s magic power was just drained to nothing, and the handheld game console went black.
Seeing this, Tang Nai chuckled lightly behind her.
“You can’t even last five minutes; this won’t do.”
“This is just temporary! Just wait, I’ll quickly train my magic power up.”
This is a matter of dignity; how could a man say he can’t do it!
“That’s what you say, but you don’t even know how to increase your magic power, do you?”
Listening to Tang Nai’s words, Sumu pouted a little, finding herself speechless.
“I don’t want it to turn into something that can only last five minutes and then becomes a brick in your hands. Actually, what you need to do is quite similar to before, but this time, you need to get as many likes and positive comments as possible.”
In the past, she relied on being scolded to gain magic power; some comments really made Sumu’s corners twitch, like:
“I’m curious if Genius Girl Irina just makes outrageous statements online every day, then sets her phone to vibration mode below, and when everyone scolds her, she starts to hum softly.”
Don’t let your weird imagination play out like this!
But Sumu’s rise was based on those few key Magical Girl fanfics, which received quite a number of likes, but she didn’t gain much.
Could it be that those guys were actually liking it with lewd thoughts?!
“Got it? Or should I demonstrate it?”
“Wait… you won’t take the opportunity to tease me, right?”
Sumu instinctively wanted to hand the handheld game console to Tang Nai, but hesitated when noticing the smile in her eyes.
“Your intuition is quite sharp, so I won’t toy with you this time. Just watch.”
With that, Tang Nai pulled Sumu in, aimed them at the camera, and snapped a few pictures.
Sumu’s expression was clearly a bit panicked, but that only made her appear more soft and adorable.
Then, Tang Nai seriously edited these photos artistically, and only after ensuring that the photos bore no relation to her real appearance, did she post them on the forum.
The title read: “My First Date with Lady Naitou, She Really Is a Great Person.”
The moment Sumu saw this, she was immediately filled with regret and shyness, a blush spreading rapidly across her cheeks.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t toy with me? You this guy…”
Tang Nai casually tossed the handheld game console back, hitting Sumu squarely on the nose.
“What’s this? Even Little L is seen on TV.”
Just a few seconds after posting, a gentle stream of magic power appeared out of nowhere and flowed into Sumu, warmly nourishing every inch of her veins.
It’s magic power, capable of harming monsters.
The pain in her nose immediately lessened, and Sumu immersed herself in this wonderful feeling.
“The power of a Magical Girl can also come from self-cultivation, but it can’t escape the attention of others.”
Upon careful thought, it was true; the imagery of several Magical Girls in people’s minds is quite profound, each with a unique and distinct style.
Through their outfits and actions, people’s impressions of them were deepened in repeated promotions, unknowingly forming stereotypes.
But the actual situation can be vastly different from the promotion (like a certain slacker Magical Girl).
Yet, there’s one exception; she has never left any records of her deeds or participated in any promotions.
“Tang Nai, I remember you didn’t seem to leave any impression on me.”
Sumu was very certain that she hadn’t heard of any deeds related to Tang Nai, yet she was the leader of these Magical Girls.
“Oh? Is it possible that the impression I left on you isn’t deep enough?”
Tang Nai suddenly smiled wickedly, bringing forth some unpleasant memories for Sumu.
“No, it’s deep enough, but that’s different from what I said.”
“It’s the same, Sumu. I’ve left similar profound impressions on many others too.”
Hearing Tang Nai’s meaningful tone, Sumu immediately thought of countless photos and gradually sketched a rough outline of an urban legend in her mind.
It’s said that there was once a Magical Girl… no, a Witch.
She committed countless evils, using her influence to force numerous good girls, leading them to become so-called righteous partners.
However, behind the scenes, these glamorous Magical Girls were actually enslaved by this silver-haired Witch!
