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

Chapter 447 Departure, Taking Office in Snow City

Cyberpsychosis is a concept that originated from a cyberpunk video game.

Xia Taotao suffers from a cyberpsychosis called social anxiety... The most direct manifestation of this in the eyes of others is her unusual demeanor.

Sometimes it's Picasso-style abstract art, sometimes it's Sea Tiger-style eccentric art, but more often it manifests as an unknown form composed of a jumble of lines and color blocks.

For example, right now:

"Bunny! Bunny's drawing style has become super messy!!!"

"It's all your fault for asking that weird question earlier!"

"I didn't know it would turn out like this... Ugh! It's gotten even messier!"

On the floor, an indescribable pink blob twisted and writh, barely forming the shape of a bunny girl with the surrounding messy lines, accompanied by a mysterious whisper that seemed to come from beyond the stars—

[Mercury's Secret: Cheshire Rabbit Relic Glitch Detected]

This was the most extreme episode of her cyberpsychosis since she met Xia Taotao.

Aurora curiously observed the irregular, abstract-style Xia Taotao on the ground. Suddenly, she remembered something, reached into the rather exquisite girl's handbag beside her, and pulled out a shiny, delicate tag badge.

It features a string of stylized English text and an image of the magical girl [Athel].

"Sister Peach—look at Arthur's price tag—"

"!!"

This sentence acted like an inhibitor, instantly bringing Xia Taotao, who was still in a scribbled, abstract style, back to normal. She lay on the floor, staring blankly at the tag in Aurora's hand.

"Wow! It's an Arthur debut limited edition tag! Is this authentic?"

"I think so. I bought it at a flea market when I was in London. It even has a serial number on the back."

"That's amazing!"

The bunny girl instantly entered the connoisseur's mode of appreciating magical girl merchandise, even putting on a pair of white gloves, as if admiring a fine work of art.

Su Tianqing didn't understand the principle behind this, but since the treatment was effective, it must be reasonable.

……

"The rabbit-race beastmen's [reproductive disease]..."

Everyone gathered around the coffee table, listening attentively as Su Tianqing presented the results of today's investigation and the answers to the questions that needed to be asked, and then fell silent.

Xia Taotao drank her tea in silence, her rabbit ears drooping, as if she was thinking about something.

"In short, that's how it is."

Su Tianqing said,

"That's why I asked that question earlier, because you are indeed very special, Tao Tao. You haven't shown any symptoms related to this disease yet."

"Um...but I really don't have that...that..."

The rabbit girl's cheeks flushed bright red as she stammered her explanation.

"But if that's the case, why weren't you affected by the reproductive disease, Peach? Could it be that you're not actually a rabbit, but a donkey-like beastman?"

Fei Yelan's wolf ears twitched twice as she spoke curiously.

Everyone looked up at Xia Taotao's high-standing rabbit ears and couldn't agree with Fei Yelan's statement.

"If that's the case, I do have an idea," Nan Jiayu replied.

"The biggest difference between Tao Tao and ordinary rabbit-race beastmen is that she has a very high talent for magic."

"Perhaps this reproductive disease is actually a magic-related disease, and rabbit-race orcs with outstanding magical talent are naturally immune to it. Is such a possibility possible?"

"Hmm—that's indeed a good hypothesis! Little Fish is so clever!"

The fox tail immediately stuck to the catgirl. Although there was a hint of it deliberately rubbing against her, the latter was completely captivated by the smooth feel of the fluffy tail.

The fox's tail... ultimate happiness...

.

The hypothesis proposed by Nan Jiayu was seriously discussed.

But soon, Su Tianqing realized the most vulnerable part of this hypothesis:

"We currently only have Tao Tao as a special case, which is insufficient to prove the widespread feasibility of this hypothesis."

"Unless... unless we can find more examples, such as other rabbit-race beastmen with magical talents, and determine their subsequent situation through tracking and follow-up visits?"

Fei Yelan replied.

"No, the time span required for the before-and-after control experiment is too long. We need to verify the hypothesis quickly, so we can't use this experimental method."

Su Tianqing shook her head and said, the scientific terminology she used filling everyone's eyes with wisdom.

"This disease is too cruel. I absolutely do not agree with it. I must find a way to change the current situation of the rabbit-kin beastmen," Su Tianqing continued, expressing her inner thoughts.

"If this disease is really related to magic, then I must find a way to completely cure it."

"A magical girl's duty is to protect everyone! This situation is no exception!"

"But can we really do it with just the few of us?" Aurora tilted her head, hesitated for a moment, and said.

"You'll never succeed if you don't try, but if we take action and take the first step, we can at least open up possibilities for success!"

"And this is also to fulfill Tao Tao's wish. I, Fox, will definitely help Rabbit find her hometown!"

The golden-haired fox girl seemed to grow taller instantly, making everyone look pale in comparison.

The rabbit girl's eyes sparkled with a bright light, reaffirming a certain belief within her:

Lord Heart Moon Fox, I, Rabbit, will pledge my allegiance to you!

.

This afternoon, Xia Taotao's house was unexpectedly lively.

The five villains gathered in the living room, looking at a map and discussing their next move.

"I think, now that we've roughly determined the possible location of her hometown, let's find an opportunity to go and investigate it in person."

Fei Yelan offered a suggestion.

"Yes, Ye Lan makes a lot of sense," Nan Jiayu agreed.

Xia Taotao remained silent, quietly organizing her journal materials at the worktable, but her rabbit ears kept turning towards her.

Aurora picked up the map from the coffee table and carefully examined the northern rabbit tribe settlement on the map, briefly gesturing the distance between it and Chengdu.

Then he switched to a map of Europe, roughly tracing the map with London as the center, and showed a shocked expression.

"Snow City in Liaoning Province is the only settlement of rabbit-type beastmen in the north of the country."

Su Tianqing took the map from Aurora, who was looking shocked, pointed to the red circle, and said.

"Based on Tao Tao's memories of playing in the snow in winter, Snow City is the most suitable location."

"In other words, Tao Tao, your hometown is very likely in Snow City!"

The fox girl then produced those glowing glasses from who-knows-where, put them on her nose, and it sounded like background music during a crime-solving scene.

"In another week it will be the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. I heard that this long holiday will last for 10 days. We can go to Syracuse together to do some on-site research."

"Peach, how about we take a journey home together?"
