The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 104 The Villain's Great Study

Magical girl.

One of the most popular topics in the Hero Association.

They wield powerful astral magic to fight against astral monsters that heroes cannot defeat, protecting this world.

To support the continued activities of magical girls, the Hero Association has created a wide variety of merchandise for them, and a large portion of the revenue is used to support magical girl activities.

The surrounding exchange shops are one of the products born out of this popular activity.

Su Tianqing took a small bite of a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) and curiously looked into the distance.

"Breaking news! A magical girl card booster pack will be released today!"

Not far away, a bustling shop was displaying a banner and advertising through a loudspeaker, attracting a steady stream of customers.

"It's so lively!" the golden fox exclaimed.

"Yeah... I didn't expect business here to be so good..." The catgirl was also a little surprised, scratching her ear.

This is a small commercial area near Rongcheng Medical College.

While shopping, Su Tianqing didn't even notice that there were several shops here, but after arriving here, she realized that the liveliness here was comparable to the large comic book stores under Tianfu Square.

"I also saw it by chance in the group. Everyone said that this is a magical girl street, specializing in the business of exchanging merchandise."

As they walked past the bustling shop, the two chatted and glanced at several other shops nearby.

Without exception, they all had a large number of customers, and the variety of related merchandise was much greater than that of general comic book stores.

If you're here, you should be able to find what you're looking for.

……

"When it comes to magical girls in Chengdu, the Hyacinth trio, who are currently active, are probably the most popular."

Standing at the counter of a store, picking out card refill packs, Su Tianqing chatted with the shop owner.

"But before those three, there was a magical girl group that was famous all over the world—"

"Red Snow, Albatross, Autumn Poplar, and Lilac."

At this point, Su Tianqing and Nan Jiayu looked up at the same time, looking at the complete set of 3D laser cards carefully protected in the display case behind the boss, as well as a huge poster with superb painting skills.

Red Snow Squad.

Even the original owner of the body, Miss Su Tianqing, had some impression of the four magical girls in this team.

"They have been active in Chengdu for 25 years, with remarkable achievements. They have defeated two or three hundred monsters and saved countless people."

"They even participated in several long-range operations to support the mountain city, making them an excellent magical girl squad."

"However, even such a powerful magical girl squad will eventually come to an end."

The boss's face immediately lit up with a look of reminiscence as he turned to look at the huge poster.

"Sixteen years ago, Chengdu was attacked by the most powerful monster in the world's history—that's what's depicted on this poster."

Su Tianqing's mouth was slightly open, and she didn't listen to the boss's explanation much. Her gaze was fixed on the huge monster on the poster that almost covered the entire sky.

A giant jellyfish that takes up half the sky.

Each tentacle is hundreds of kilometers long, and the main body floats in the clouds, absorbing the magic power of the astral rift. Both its size and magic power are exceptionally terrifying.

This strange creature looks very familiar; the BOSS monster I'm currently creating looks exactly like it!

But this thing on the screen is way too big. I'd guess it's at least 15 times the size of myself.

No, we should add at least two more special abilities—gigantic growth and, most importantly, the Celestial Rift.

Wild monsters can be this powerful? It seems my perspective has been too narrow.

"【Astral Jellyfish Attack Incident】..." Su Tianqing murmured the small print at the bottom of the poster.

"I saw it when I was watching videos last time. It's said to be the most destructive monster incident in the last fifty years," the catgirl replied without hesitation.

"Yes, looking back now, it was really dangerous..." The boss's expression turned serious, and he nodded earnestly as he recounted the past.

Soon, customers came to pay their bills, and Su Tianqing and her companion felt embarrassed to continue disturbing others' business, so they wandered around the store at their leisure.

But as soon as the two turned around and looked up, they met the gaze of a pink-haired figure huddled in the corner of the counter not far away.

"Xia Taotao?" Su Tianqing asked curiously.

"Huh!?"

The rabbit girl trembled and waved timidly.

"Good afternoon... Tianqing, and... Jiayu..."

"Good afternoon," Nan Jiayu greeted with a friendly wave.

After all, they were classmates in the same department, and the other person also liked magical girls, so they were kindred spirits.

Su Tianqing immediately led the catgirl over and asked the socially awkward rabbit dressed in a school uniform skirt:

"Does Xia Taotao often come here to buy merchandise?"

"Yes, yes..." Xia Taotao suppressed her nervousness and nodded with a wry smile.

"Actually, I've been browsing here more often than at Tianfu Square, because the variety and selection of souvenirs here are much greater and more complete, and also..."

After speaking, the rabbit girl glanced at the display stand beside her.

"Moreover, there will be many very rare items."

"It seems Xia Taotao is quite familiar with this street!"

Su Tianqing said with a smile,

"If you're free this afternoon... could you show us around here?"

"Ahhh... Ah, no, I'm so honored...!"

What started as a casual stroll between two people quickly turned into a conversation between three.

Xia Taotao felt that she quite enjoyed being with the two people beside her.

Although Su Tianqing is very enthusiastic, which easily triggers Xia Taotao's social anxiety, her love for magical girls is no less than her own, which makes Xia Taotao want to get to know her.

Although I have never encountered a situation in my life where I want to actively make friends with someone.

Is it because Tianqing shares the same hobbies as me?

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true.

Finding someone with such similar interests is incredibly difficult. To make such a friend, Xia Taotao feels that overcoming her social anxiety a little shouldn't be a problem!

Fortunately, Su Tianqing was happy to be her friend, and Rabbit was extremely grateful.

As for the Nan Jia fish...

Xia Taotao's gaze secretly fell on the deep blue catgirl, but she quickly looked away when her eyes met the catgirl's bright blue eyes.

She's cute, but also a bit aloof.

Furthermore, her relationship with Tianqing is also quite intriguing; seeing their interactions even evokes a silent sense of wonder.

You two! You must be happy!

"Speaking of which..."

Nan Jiayu suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of Su Tianqing and Xia Taotao.

"What the shop owner said just now is somewhat different from what I heard."

"Oh?" Su Tianqing paused, her mouth slightly agape in surprise.

Even Xia Taotao nodded, and said reservedly:

"Hmm...it's a little different from the version I heard..."

Su Tianqing immediately pointed to a magical girl-themed cafe nearby.

"Let's go inside and sit down and talk! Tell me everything you know!"

This is a fantastic opportunity!
