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

Chapter 235 Magical Girls Are All Good Kids

"Match over!"

"The winners are Little Wind and Little Fish!"

The golden fox whistled, and Nan Xiaofeng excitedly high-fived her older sister in celebration.

On the other side of the net, Li Kexin and her partner lay on the beach, seemingly soulless.

"Although it was a match with no suspense whatsoever, everyone seemed to be having a good time," Su Tianqing remarked.

Then, the four girls sitting next to her, including Hana Rin, all glanced at her at the same time.

"...Do you think those two over there are happy?"

Lin Muyao, dressed in a student swimsuit, spoke to Hua Ling, who was wearing a sun-protective jacket beside her.

Hua Ling smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to reply.

To be honest, Sister Tianqing and Sister Xiaoyu were indeed very happy, but the two people opposite them didn't seem to be very happy no matter how you looked at them.

The match was completely one-sided. When Nan Xiaofeng and Nan Jiayu stood together, everyone felt that the only thing left to watch in this beach volleyball game was their amazing teamwork.

As for the score? Nobody cared.

"This is too difficult! Foul! Foul!" Ye Yuxia, who was lying on the beach, suddenly jumped up and said to the Nan sisters on the other side of the net.

"Referee! Could you please switch one of them? Put Kexin on the other side?"

"Hey! I was trying my best to defend too, okay!" Li Kexin shouted in response, but she was still lying on the beach unable to move.

Everyone burst into laughter.

...

After leaving the beach volleyball area, the group, tired from playing, went to a beverage shop by the sea to buy some snacks and drinks.

Cat Girl led her younger sister to order, while Su Tianqing stayed at the table to reserve a seat, looking at the slightly tired-looking girl across the table.

—Ye Yuxia, the true form of the magical girl [Green Ivy], is skilled in suppressing firepower like Mai Sui, but has almost no ability in close combat.

With ordinary black hair and a quiet demeanor, she wore a daring two-piece swimsuit that accentuated her figure, and her youthful and vibrant body was certainly worth showing off.

She had just finished two games of beach volleyball and was so tired that all she wanted to do was sit down and relax.

It has to be said that Ye Yuxia's volleyball skills are quite good. She plays with great style, and her spiking motion shows that she takes volleyball lessons very seriously.

Unfortunately, their rivals, Nan Xiaofeng and Nan Jiayu, are absolute physical monsters. Even disregarding their magical girl talents, the catgirl's physical strength and agility make her an insurmountable obstacle.

Although I really wanted to separate Nan Xiaofeng and her sister into two teams, I was actually happier having them on the same team because I wanted to have some fun.

"Miss Yuxia, is this our first time meeting?" Su Tianqing greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Tianqing."

Ye Yuxia returned the greeting with a polite smile to the very endearing golden fox in front of her.

Su Tianqing continued:

"I heard about you from Kexin. Have you two become friends now?"

"Um...I guess so," the girl answered honestly.

"I never expected that Kexin would become Mai Sui with the intention of making friends."

"Yes, after all, everyone's initial motivation for becoming a magical girl is different. Have some of this; it's said to help restore your stamina."

Su Tianqing pushed the can of energy drink that Nan Xiaofeng hadn't had time to open to Ye Yuxia across the table.

"……Thanks."

The girl didn't stand on ceremony. She was probably thirsty, so she opened the can and gulped down several mouthfuls, drinking with great relish.

Su Tianqing only learned today that the relationship between Mai Sui and Lu Luo had warmed up, which is a good thing, and may help Lu Luo to regain her strength.

As for why it was able to revive the pothos plant...

[Task: The Heavy Load of Wheat]

[Let the Wheat Ear Squad reconcile]

[Additional condition: Revive the Green Ivy, and receive an additional 200 Ancient Tome Stones]

This is a new quest that I just had my familiar find in the secret manual.

This task left me somewhat bewildered, especially the additional condition at the end, which reminded me of the time when Iris became withdrawn.

Back then, Iris fell into a state of depression after losing her teammates, and it took me a lot of effort to bring her back to her senses. I don't want to repeat the same mistake with Green Ivy.

Are all magical girls suffering from some kind of psychological trauma? How come they become withdrawn after being tormented by me, the fox?

Look at Nan Xiaofeng. This kid has been beaten up by Maomao for months and hasn't gotten depressed much. How come he would doubt his life if he got humiliated twice by other people?

"It's probably because their magical girl lives have been too smooth," Su Tianqing thought to herself.

This is when I, the fox, need to step in as a caring older sister!

All you need to do is approach them as a dandelion, have a heart-to-heart talk, and any problem will be solved!

"Miss Yuxia, when did you become a magical girl?" Su Tianqing asked directly.

“…………”

silence.

Ye Yuxia hadn't expected the golden fox to casually bring up this topic.

But considering that she is the real-life form of the magical girl dandelion, it's understandable that she would ask that question during their first casual conversation.

"It was probably five years ago when I first transformed into Green Ivy, and I've been active ever since," Ye Yuxia replied softly.

"That's quite a long time ago," Su Tianqing said, somewhat surprised.

I never expected that Green Ivy was actually a magical girl with five years of experience.

But upon closer reflection, Ye Yuxia, as Green Ivy, was almost a contemporary of Mai Sui. After Mai Sui left, she took over as the captain of the Suicheng team, which shows that Violet and Edelweiss trusted her a lot.

She didn't look as depressed as Hua Ling had been, so why did the Secret Codex give her the task of getting back on her feet?

"Yes, it's been five years already." Ye Yuxia sighed.

"Five years ago, I met Gray Cloud. He said I was very talented and asked me if I would like to become a magical girl."

"What a cliché line. Is this the kind of talk all stargazers use?" Su Tianqing thought to herself.

"At that time, I thought magical girls were cool and could protect others, so I agreed without hesitation."

"But later... I gradually lost myself in the feelings of being a vibrant green ivy, and last time when facing Heart Moon Fox, I even led my companions into danger..."

"I'm very scared."

At this point, Ye Yuxia lowered her head and clenched her right fist, as if suppressing some kind of fear.

"Afraid? Why are you afraid? Are you afraid you're not doing well enough?" Su Tianqing pressed.

"I had that thought too, but more than that, I was afraid that I would drag Violet and Edelweiss down."

"Wheat has been completely transformed. She has grown up a lot in Rongcheng and is actively realizing her original aspiration as a magical girl."

"But what about me?"

"I wanted to protect the residents of Suicheng, I wanted to protect them from the monsters, but I couldn't even protect my own comrades, and I even hurt innocent people by damaging public facilities..."

Seeing her pained and self-reproachful expression, Su Tianqing smiled slightly and said:

"So that's how it is. It's because you went against your original intentions that you felt afraid."

"Since you're so worried about what your companions think of you... why don't you go and ask them yourself?"

After saying that, Su Tianqing smiled and turned to look at Nan Xiaofeng and his group who were walking towards her, and waved to them.

Should I go and ask them myself?

Ye Yuxia stared blankly at the group of people walking towards her, silently concealing the dazed look on her face, but her mind kept replaying what Su Tianqing had just said.

So... you mean... have a heart-to-heart talk with your teammates...?
