Chapter 336 Helping the Fox with a Small Favor
Chapter 336 Helping the Fox with a Small Favor
"Behaved now?"
The deep blue catgirl stood by the dock shed next to the pier, looking at the person in front of her, and said.
"..."
The hyacinth was bound like a dumpling with a magic rope and hung under the eaves of the dock shed, silent and lifeless.
"Looks like they've kept quiet for now."
The catgirl sighed, stretched her swollen wrists and shoulders, and remarked with emotion.
I exercised much more than usual today, especially when I used the steel gauntlets to rip open the monster's chest, which was when I expended the most energy.
Normally, I only need two moves to defeat the hyacinth, but it took me a lot of effort today. I definitely need to keep training.
How about we increase the frequency of fighting with hyacinths in the future?
The catgirl thought to herself, and a hint of feline amusement appeared in her eyes as she looked at the hyacinth.
Hyacinth felt a chill run down her spine.
"So..."
Iris and Nightingale stood a short distance away, glanced at the hyacinth hanging upside down, their gazes falling on the petite, blonde girl in the distance, and spoke up.
"Could you explain why you're with that person over there, Miss Xinyuehu?"
"Well..."
Su Tianqing turned around, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the blonde girl.
Aurora timidly took a half step back, nervously pursing her lips.
"I heard she encountered some unexpected situations, so I asked her to come here to meet me and help her resolve some troubles," Xin Yuehu said.
The iris and the nightingale exchanged a glance, their feelings somewhat complicated.
In their eyes, Xin Yuehu's stance was always wavering.
Sometimes he summons monsters to hang up and torment his group, but in times of crisis he can step forward and even fight alongside them.
If it weren't for the efforts of Xin Yuehu and her group, the outcome of the incident involving the Star Beast in Hong Kong City would probably not have been so happy.
--but,
She, however, stood with Jack the Ripper.
This is a wanted criminal publicly listed by the London Society, accused of numerous murders, and is a world-renowned top criminal.
It would rank among the top even in Los Santos, America.
"...Miss Xinyuehu, you may not know the identity of that person over there."
Iris straightened her posture and said seriously,
"The Chengdu Heroes Association received intelligence from the London Association that a wanted criminal codenamed 'Jack the Ripper' has arrived in Chengdu from England."
"According to the intelligence we have, the person next to you is this wanted criminal."
Su Tianqing turned around and glanced at Aurora.
She was clutching her skirt, too afraid to utter a sound, especially after seeing the serious expressions on Iris and Nightingale's faces. She lowered her head and stood there timidly.
Magical girls are all good kids. Su Tianqing firmly believed this.
After all, becoming a magical girl requires the approval of the stars.
Even villains like the cats and rabbits, as well as myself, have gained the approval of the Guardian Star; otherwise, they would never have been able to transform.
If Aurora were truly a villain in disguise, the Guardian Star probably wouldn't have responded to her call, let alone a magical girl.
But I can understand how Iris and Nightingale feel.
In their minds, Jack the Ripper was a ruthless criminal who killed countless people and was someone who had to be arrested.
"This is a bit troublesome..."
The golden-haired fox sighed and said,
"...Iris, Nightingale, would you two be interested in having a chat with me, Fox?"
"interested in!"
The nightingale blurted out.
As the number one fox-snatcher, Nightingale couldn't wait to have a private conversation with this golden-haired fox.
Iris was slightly taken aback. She wanted to agree immediately like Nightingale, but hesitated when she saw Hyacinth's strange look.
"Miss Iris~ Don't you want to chat with me, Fox, after all this time~?"
The golden fox girl's soft voice drew Iris's gaze, and no matter how much Hyacinth howled, it couldn't sway their will.
"Iris! Nightingale! Don't listen to Xin Yuehu's nonsense!"
"She's definitely lying to you! She's definitely set up some terrible trap!"
"...How noisy, Miss Hyacinth."
The golden-haired fox girl narrowed her eyes, a subtle smile appearing on her face.
A wad of golden cloth appeared in the fox's hand, and with the help of her familiar, she stuffed it into the hyacinth's mouth.
Hyacinth is muted!
"Fox, I'll find a quiet place to have a good chat with Miss Iris and Miss Nightingale~"
"As for you, Miss Hyacinth..."
The fox spirit opened her emerald eyes, a sly smile appearing within them.
"As punishment for what happened earlier, Miss Hyacinth, you can stay here and play with the cats and bunnies for a while~"
"Ughhhhh!! Ughhhhh!!!"
The hyacinth, silenced by the golden cloth, let out a mournful cry, but could not gain any pity and could only watch the golden fox and its companions leave.
"...Hehe, Miss Hyacinth...you look so cute tied up..."
I heard some heavy breathing nearby.
Hyacinth, covered in sweat, turned around in alarm and met the eyes of Cheshire Rabbit, who had floated up behind her with a crescent-shaped smile.
She was still dressed as a pink bunny girl with ribbons, but the giant bunny hammer on her back made Hyacinth struggle violently.
The Passion of the Hyacinth, officially begins.
……
The mournful cries of hyacinths could be heard from the distant dock from time to time.
Nightingale glanced back with some concern, then turned around to find a cup of jasmine milk tea being handed to her by her familiar.
"A drink, Miss Nightingale, please."
"Thanks."
Nightingale accepted the gift with a flattered expression, and the familiar then offered Iris a warm drink as well.
The three stood at the edge of the observation deck, one in front and two behind.
Against a backdrop of distant background music composed of the mournful cries of hyacinths, the golden fox recounts the story she learned from Aurora.
Upon hearing about the infinitely resurrected, ripped monster, Nightingale and Iris gasped in astonishment, exclaiming:
"Being harassed by a strange person for so long? And being mistaken for the murderer by people..."
"So, in the intelligence we received, there was indeed no record of Jack the Ripper taking action himself."
"Iris said thoughtfully."
According to intelligence and accusations from the London Society, the Ripper was present at every crime scene committed by Jack the Ripper.
And they were all the ones who took direct action.
Aurora was suspected because of her close connection with the Ripper.
In addition, given that she is an unofficial magical girl like Hellcat, and the recurring appearance of the ripped monster, she would naturally be considered the murderer.
"So that means the little golden retriever was actually framed?"
"Being misunderstood for so long, even to the point of wanting to give up on magical girls... it's such a shame..."
Iris couldn't help but recall how she had wanted to quit before.
Although she later cheered up with Tianqing's encouragement, she still has some psychological trauma.
The pressure that little magical girl carries is probably even greater than what I faced back then.
"But that child is quite strong, isn't he?"
Su Tianqing smiled and glanced at Aurora, who was watching the Hyacinth's Passion from afar.
"So I want to do her a favor."
"Take complete action against the monstrous, disemboweled man who is harassing her, give her justice, remove all the pressure that should not have been placed on her, and avenge the victims."
After saying that, the golden fox turned around and looked at the two magical girls behind her.
"So..."
"In the days to come, you'll have to put in a lot more effort to deal with that gutted monster."
"Miss Iris, and Miss Nightingale~"
