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

Chapter 404: A Happy Ending, But New Fun Begins

"Good morning, viewers. This is Chengdu Morning News."

"Due to the influence of the astral magic storm, frequent attacks by strange beings have broken out all over the world. Last night, three wild strange beings also attacked Chengdu, causing damage to a large number of residents' property. Fortunately, no one was injured."

"Multiple magical girl squads and numerous S-class heroes participated in the ambush, minimizing losses. The Hero Association expresses its deepest gratitude to all those who participated in this ambush."

The news channel was broadcasting a program produced by the Hero Association, and many video shots were labeled with tags such as "[Source: Magical Girl Fox Official]".

After all, no reporter dared to risk being blown to pieces by the magical aftershocks to get close enough to film, and the drones couldn't keep up with the magical girl and the monsters' movements, so they had to use footage taken by Shingetsuko to make the video.

The intense scenes of magical girls battling monsters, combined with the announcer's standard Mandarin narration, added a lot of fun to the news.

The golden fox sat leisurely at the cafeteria table, slurping the rice noodles in his bowl while watching the wall-mounted TV not far away with the cat girl beside him.

"Three strange people actually appeared at the same time last night. That's unprecedented," Nan Jiayu muttered to the fox girl beside her.

Su Tianqing wagged her tail.

"That's true, but fortunately, it didn't cause any serious damage in the end, and I also handled Alice's situation properly."

"How is her injury?" Nan Jiayu asked.

"They were all minor injuries, which were completely healed with ordinary healing magic. And the one in black was the most seriously injured, well... let's just call her Little Jack for now."

"It's good that you're alright... I was quite worried at first, but thankfully Tianqing went to help, so nothing should happen."

"Hmm~ As long as I, Fox, take action, everything will be alright!"

The fox spirit had just finished slurping up the last mouthful of rice noodles when she wiped her mouth and confidently puffed out her flat chest.

"Besides the intense battle, something else happened last night that has garnered a lot of attention from viewers."

"Alice, the magical girl who is commonly referred to as the 'villain,' participated in a very important initial counterattack against the monster at the Third Liberal Arts Academy last night, effectively preventing the monster from attacking the students."

"The Hero Association has expressed serious concern about Alice's activities and injuries, and fully acknowledged her outstanding contributions."

"We have also noticed the conflict between the Foehn Wind Squad and Alice."

"In response, the Chengdu Heroes Association contacted the London Heroes Association, and London temporarily withdrew the arrest warrant for Alice, stating that it would reconsider the series of charges against her."

"In addition, witnesses at the scene of the conflict claimed to have spotted a new magical girl."

The news footage switched to the confrontation between the dog-girl magical girl and the Burning Wind Squad.

The white-and-black-striped dog-girl magical girl on the screen is very eye-catching. Her fighting style, which involves melee combat with her claws, is also a melee-type character, and she can easily defeat the Nanja fish with a flick of its tail.

"Is she the one you mentioned, Tianqing, the one who's friends with Alice?"

"Yeah, what do you think? I think this kid has a lot of potential. He caught Fenfeng off guard on his first transformation, although there was an element of surprise attack involved."

"That's interesting."

Nan Jiayu smiled slightly, her eyes revealing an uncontrollable fighting spirit.

……

Today's morning class was on diagnostics, a very important subject.

Nan Jiayu listened attentively to the lecture, took notes, and sketched in the book, as if she was trying to recover from the fox-like state that filled her mind last semester.

Although Su Tianqing was listening to the lecture, she spent most of her time flipping through the pages. After confirming that the book was exactly the same as what she had learned before, she immediately began to slack off as the attending physician, Fox.

What's there to learn! This tattered book is practically worn out from being read so many times in my past life!

Let's look at the magical girls in the distance instead.

Thinking of this, the fox girl secretly took out her phone, opened the magical girl forum in Rongcheng, and looked at several popular posts.

A new magical girl has appeared. What codename do you think would suit her best?

This post is pretty good.

The fox spirit immediately became interested, clicked on the post page, and began to browse through it.

"Since we have a proper organization with the Stargazers, we should naturally adopt the Hyacinth Squad's style and use various flowers as codenames."

"How do you explain the nightingale?"

"They chose their own code names. We discussed it for so long, but in the end, they still had to choose for themselves."

"I suggest one, how about calling it 'Clivia'?"

"Clivia seconded the proposal."

"That sounds good, but isn't there anything better?"

Below was a lively discussion, with different nominations on each floor, and even codenames like "Cerberus," which were comparable to Fenrir.

It seems the puppy is quite popular. Su Tianqing thought to herself.

But it makes sense, considering that she "faced a powerful senior team to protect her friends," and Alice is a hero who saved so many students in the liberal arts college dormitory, so it's only natural that her reputation would rise.

Perhaps later today we'll see the Chengdu Hero Association issue a press release with the initial identification code name for the little dog's magical girl persona, followed by the official code name after consulting her opinion.

Thinking about it this way, Mu Yao's original identification code was similar to that of the hyacinth and iris flowers, namely "Sunflower," except that she later changed it to "Nightingale."

This also demonstrates the Hero Association's full respect for the magical girls' personal wishes.

"Anyway, let's first confirm if there are any follow-up quests related to the secret manual!"

The familiar opened the secret manual, and the rewards from the quest page were dazzling.

While most of the rewards are in the form of currency like Divine Stones, there are also highly useful reward types such as [Hidden Shop Exchange Coupons].

Don't underestimate the hidden shop. Since the last meeting with that mysterious guild master, the number of items on the Secret Codex Shop page has increased significantly!

Especially in the hidden shop, with increased drop rates and free refreshes, you can find some pretty interesting little fox-themed items almost every round.

And today, a shiny golden item has naturally appeared in the shop:

[Inner Stone of Inari Magic Attachment: Legendary Spell - Area-of-Effect Body Swap]

It's worth a whopping 20000 Divine Stones, plus an extra 10000 Ancient Divine Stones. The price is outrageous; even my entire savings wouldn't be enough to buy it.

But the effect of this magic is quite amusing—

[Randomly swap bodies with the magical girls you select over a vast area; the transformation cannot be reversed during the spell's effect.]

I must say, this thing brings unprecedented fun. Just the "random swapping" feature alone is definitely worth buying one for me to try.

It even has a heavyweight anti-opening feature: "cannot undo transformation".

……Wait a moment.

If I'm unlucky enough to switch bodies with Hyacinth and the others, will they be able to use the power of the secret manual?

Will we end up with a scene like, "How dare you use the monster I created to attack me, Hyacinth?"

【Kind tips】

[The secret manual is deeply bound to Su Tianqing; exchanging magical effects during body swaps will not affect your use of the manual.]

Very good. With the secret manual backing it up, I can buy it with confidence.

Use store vouchers!

Having confirmed that the legendary golden spell appeared in the magic book obtained from Inari, the fox girl's face revealed a knowing expression.

This fox has found a whole new source of fun.
