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

Chapter 519 Punishing the Hyacinth

The feeling of being drawn into the world of mental images for the first time is definitely not pleasant.

Especially for newlyweds like Jin Zhanhua, symptoms such as motion sickness or seasickness may occur.

"Ugh!... Ugh... Waaaaah..."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Not yet... Ugh!..."

The marigold was spinning rainbows by the stream, its face deathly pale, barely able to squat down with the help of the two Alices beside it.

"My head is spinning... Ugh..."

"She's probably not used to such strong magical fluctuations," Su Tianqing muttered to herself, tugging at her tail.

Not far away, the forbidden hyacinth, bound like a Swiss roll, was still hanging under the eaves of an unfinished building. The familiar construction team that had been busy on the roof had all left, leaving only the golden-haired fox girl who was collecting familiars.

The surrounding buildings are completely different from the high-rise buildings in the center of Chengdu. Brick and tile houses stand in rows, with wonderful magical crystal decorations scattered here and there, creating a fantasy style.

The feeling would be even more authentic if there were some passersby in long robes or carrying swords on the street.

But this should be the world of Xin Yuehu's imagination, so why are there these fantasy-style city and town scenes?

The iris pondered for a moment, vaguely recalling the scene she encountered the last time she entered the world of mental images:

At that time, I played the role of a mage, and Hyacinth played the role of a warrior, engaging in a TRPG game with the villainous Demon King, Heart Moon Fox.

"That's right! Magical girls and dungeon adventures!"

"Remember that tabletop RPG we played last time? I'm developing the map for the second chapter, doesn't it look super cool?"

On the rooftop beside them, Heart Moon Fox poked her head out and spoke to Nightingale and Iris, who were standing on the ground observing the village buildings.

The latter immediately recalled the tabletop RPG scenario where he only played up to the end of the first chapter last time.

I initially thought she had forgotten about it, but it turns out she's still working on it diligently. It seems creating a fantasy world setting out of thin air is taking too much time, Nightingale thought.

What kind of scene will the second chapter of the adventure scenario be? It seems that the heroes have advanced to the next city, preparing to fight a major battle against the Demon King's army in this magical town?

Before they could even have any expectations, their attention was drawn to a heavy, low murmur in the distance:

"Boom... Boom..."

The distant, low-lying mountains muffled the sound considerably, but even from such a distance, the rumbling sound was still like rolling thunder, making it difficult to guess what was hidden behind the mountains.

"Hmph, judging from this noise, it seems that the cats have already started their attack. Iris-sama~ Aren't you going to join this tense and exciting monster extermination battle?" Shin-tsuki-ko chuckled.

Then, Su Tianqing turned back to the stream and said to Marigold and Alice, who had already stood up:

"Alice—is Marigold feeling any better?"

"If I've recovered, let's go and defeat the monster together!"

"As for the hyacinths here..."

The fox girl leaped down from the roof, glanced at the silenced hyacinth, and wore a bright smile.

"As punishment for the damage you've caused to Rongcheng, you'd better stay here obediently."

.

With the isolation of the mental world, the piano freak's explosive vocalizations naturally become useless, making the problem much simpler to solve:

There was no need to worry about the sound waves causing damage to the surroundings. After applying soundproofing magic, there was no need to worry about being affected. With everyone focusing their fire, the piano freak was smashed flat on the spot.

The remains of the monster were retrieved by the Heart Moon Magic Wand, and Su Tianqing, like a trainer who had caught a brand new Pokémon, quickly left the mental world and returned to the villain's rooftop to study it carefully.

"Looking forward to playing with everyone again next time~ I'll definitely make even more interesting weirdos then!"

"How can anyone look forward to something like that?" Iris said with a wry smile.

The Swiss Hyacinth was released by the familiars, and no one knew where she threw the golden cloth.

But at least when Xin Yuehu and the others used teleportation magic to leave, Nightingale secretly observed that the little wicker foot still reflected a fair luster.

Marigold also learned a lot about how to fight against weirdos today. She filled two or three pages of her notebook with notes and was busy copying them down.

But when the exhausted magical girls returned to the main rooftop, ready to summarize the day's battles and then disperse to go home and rest—

"..."

Meteor, dressed in the Hero Association uniform, stood on the rooftop, his back straight and his attitude serious, completely unlike the relaxed and carefree demeanor he usually displayed when they met.

She even wore an S-class hero badge on her chest, and Lin Muyao instantly realized what was going on:

"Oh no, Mr. Meteor is wearing a standard formal suit."

As soon as it landed, the nightingale spotted the shooting star in the distance and knew something was wrong. It whispered to the iris beside it.

"Standard formal attire... Doesn't Mr. Meteor always wear a uniform during work hours?" Karin tilted her head.

"This time is different! She doesn't usually wear that badge. When she does, it means she's on a mission as an S-class hero!"

Lin Muyao gestured.

"Do you understand what I mean? I mean, Meteor-sensei is very serious right now!"

Hua Ling wasn't stupid either; after hearing Lin Muyao's explanation, she immediately understood the seriousness of the problem.

Upon closer reflection, under what circumstances would heroes come to meet with a magical girl in such a serious capacity?

...It can only be that matter, right?

But when everyone rushed to the rooftop and met the serious-looking Meteor's gaze, they noticed that there was another person sitting in front of her—

With white hair and red eyes, he didn't look human. He sat in the chair with a relaxed and natural expression, but there was a subtle glint in his eyes.

S-rank hero, [Messiah]

The simultaneous appearance of two S-class rank members on the rooftop suddenly made the atmosphere on the roof serious.

"...Finally back. Did you manage to deal with that piano freak?"

Messiah rose from her chair and walked casually to the magical girls, addressing them.

"It's been resolved. Heart Moon Fox enveloped it with her Mind World, and she recovered the remains."

Nan Xiaofeng mustered her courage. Although she had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, she decided to fulfill her responsibility as the team leader and stepped forward to speak.

Messiah calmly looked at the hyacinth, whose face was filled with tension.

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly with both hands, her lips pursed, her body trembling slightly, as if she were enduring some kind of fear.

"...Pfft."

Messiah couldn't help but chuckle, and Meteor, standing behind him, also gave a helpless smile.

"Hahaha... Relax, don't be so tense, Hyacinth," Messiah said.

"I guess you've probably guessed why we've come to find you... it's this."

After saying that, Messiah took out a tablet specially made by the Hero Association from his bag and showed it to Hyacinth and the others, which was covered with a large number of complaint letters.

"As of just now, the Hero Association has received nearly 50,000 complaints, all of which are about the massive damage you caused tonight when you fought the monster."

"…………Feel sorry."

After a long silence, Hyacinth blushed and lowered her head in apology.

"I'm here to inform you of the Hero Association's decision regarding the damage you caused tonight—"

Nan Xiaofeng kept his head down and his eyes tightly shut, already prepared for his salary for the month to be gone.

"Come to the association headquarters tomorrow morning to record an apology video. It must be sincere. That's all."

Messiah said with a smile,

"Do you understand what I mean, Miss Hyacinth?"
