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

Chapter 118 How to Win Over a Magical Girl

Evening, in Rongcheng Huatianli residential area.

The neighborhood was as quiet as ever.

Hua Ling sat at her desk and glanced out the window at the community garden below. She could only see a few passersby, most of whom were carrying large and small plastic bags.

It's already 10 o'clock, and some people who go to bed early are already getting ready to take a shower and go to sleep, so it's quite normal for the neighborhood to be so quiet.

Hua Ling shifted her gaze from the night view outside the window, glanced down at her nightgown, and then looked at Bai Ling, who was lying on the bed watching videos not far away.

When school ended in the afternoon, Xiaofeng asked me to come to her house, saying she had something to talk about.

"What private matter could they possibly want to discuss at home?" Karin muttered to herself.

Bai Ling also heard the girl's murmur, put down her phone, looked at her, and shrugged.

"I don't know either. Xiaofeng shouldn't be hiding anything from you guys."

"Even Bai Ling, you..."

Hua Ling was completely baffled.

Although she and Xiaofeng had only been friends for a short time, in her mind, Xiaofeng and Bailing, the stargazer, were very close friends and could talk about almost anything.

If there's something that even Bai Ling has to keep from her, it must be a very serious secret.

Thinking of this, Hua Ling couldn't help but straighten her back.

I'll talk to Xiaofeng when she gets back; I wonder what she wants to talk about.

"I'm back!"

Before the words were even finished, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Nan Xiaofeng walked in carrying a takeout bag, showing the two of them the food in his hand.

"My late-night snack has arrived!"

"Xiao Feng, what delicious food did you buy?"

Bai Ling immediately stepped forward, pulled a skewer of grilled pork belly from her pocket, and began to happily gnaw on it.

"Barbecue, and delicious grilled eggplant too! Hana-rin, eat it while it's hot, I think this place's grilled eggplant is especially delicious!"

"Okay, thank you."

The girl thanked him politely and didn't stand on ceremony. As soon as Nan Xiaofeng brought the takeout bag to the desk, she immediately went over and started eating.

Not long ago, the three members of the team had just finished a fierce battle with the monsters summoned by Shingetsuko. Karin was also feeling hungry, so she was quite satisfied to have a barbecue to fill her stomach.

But Lin Muyao, a boarding student, was unable to enjoy this barbecue, which was a pity for her.

After a moment of quiet remorse, Hua Ling swallowed the roasted pork belly in her mouth and tilted her head to look at her companion beside her.

"Speaking of which, Xiaofeng, you said this afternoon you had something to talk to me about. What exactly is it?"

"Hmm, yes, yeah! What is it that even I don't know?"

Bai Ling quickly moved closer, as if she wanted to listen more closely.

Nan Xiaofeng was about to put a skewer of grilled chives into his mouth when he heard Hua Ling say this, and his movements immediately slowed down.

The girl also felt a little hesitant.

—Sister Tianqing knew that she was a hyacinth.

Although she is a trustworthy confidante and a sunny, angelic fox, she should still tell her companions about this.

Moreover, Sister Tianqing was the key to my obtaining the Shadow of Stars! I should tell the truth even more!

"Hualin, Bailing, what I'm about to say is very important."

"...Okay, go ahead and say it."

Hua Ling immediately became serious, sat up straight, put down the barbecue in her hand, and looked at Nan Xiaofeng with a solemn expression.

Even the stargazer, who was engrossed in human delicacies, reluctantly put down the grilled sausage, grabbed a tissue to wipe his paws, sat on Hua Ling's lap, and looked up at Nan Xiaofeng.

silence.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and Nan Xiaofeng nervously clutched the hem of her nightgown.

"You two, don't look at me like that, it's making me nervous."

"What's there to be nervous about? Just tell the truth," Bai Ling said helplessly, spreading her hands.

"Hurry up and tell us, we're waiting to have barbecue."

"...Then I'll be frank."

Nan Xiaofeng cleared her throat and revealed the secret in her heart:

"Actually, some people already know that I am Hyacinth."

""who??""

The two immediately tensed up.

Hua Ling, in particular, felt her heart leap into her throat and her face turn deathly pale.

Someone knows Xiao Feng's identity!?

Doesn't that mean... my identity as an iris flower will also be...?

"Hua Ling, don't be nervous. That person is someone I can trust," Nan Xiaofeng quickly reassured her.

"This is no small matter! Xiao Feng, what are you thinking?!"

Bai Ling angrily floated in front of the girl and tapped her on the head.

"Do you realize how serious this is! If your identities are exposed, you might not even be able to remain magical girls!"

"Of course I know! But that person..."

"Who is that person?"

"The person who knows my identity is Sister Tianqing."

"No matter who it is— um? Sister Tianqing? Is she Xiaofeng's sister's friend, the really cute one?"

Bai Ling, who was about to continue hitting, suddenly stopped, and the fist she was about to throw froze in mid-air.

"Huh?... Sister Tianqing?"

Hua Ling said blankly,

"Why Sister Tianqing? Xiaofeng, what... what are you...?"

"It was probably a few days ago. Sister Tianqing invited me to Wanda Plaza to exchange merchandise. When I was leaving, I ran into Cheshire Rabbit. She tried to attack Sister Tianqing, and in a moment of panic, I..."

"So you actually transformed into Hyacinth in front of Sister Tianqing to block Cheshire Rabbit's attack for her?" Karin asked in surprise.

All I knew was that Xiaofeng had transformed into a hyacinth at that time, but I never expected it to be in front of Sister Tianqing!

"Yes, that's it."

Nan Xiaofeng honestly said,

"Sister Tianqing promised to keep it a secret for me, and she really didn't tell anyone, not even Sister Jiayu."

Bai Ling and Hua Ling exchanged a glance, and a moment of hesitation arose in their hearts.

If we were to rank trust levels in everyone's hearts, aside from their companions and Bai Ling, everyone would unanimously place a certain angel fox at the top.

"In that case, she really is a trustworthy person."

After thinking it over for a long time, Bai Ling had no choice but to come to the same conclusion as Nan Xiaofeng.

First of all, this stargazer has never met Su Tianqing!

But she has always silently supported the Hyacinth Squad, and everyone knows that Lin Muyao transformed into Nightingale to protect her.

Even the opportunity for Hua Ling's transformation was because Su Tianqing and Nan Jiayu were sitting on the Ferris wheel at the time.

"Sister Tianqing has never revealed Muyao's identity. She also promised me that she would keep it a secret, so I think I can trust her."

Nan Xiaofeng shared his thoughts and looked at Hua Ling Bai Ling with expectant eyes.

"Hua Ling, what do you think of Sister Tian Qing?"

"Sister Tianqing... how should I put it, I... I also think Sister Tianqing is... a trustworthy person..."

Hua Ling was somewhat incoherent.

Her mood changed drastically in an instant, and the girl had no choice but to reveal her true thoughts.

"So it seems that Sister Tianqing did indeed play a crucial role in your journey to becoming magical girls."

Bai Ling nodded thoughtfully.

"What magical girls need is faith and something to protect. As long as you have something you want to protect, the stars will favor you even more and bring you even greater power."

"So this is a good thing, and I quite agree with it."

"Anyway, let's leave this topic here. Don't feel too guilty; just continue interacting with each other as usual!"

After saying that, the white ferret spun around and picked up the grilled sausage it hadn't finished eating.

While eating, Bai Ling spoke up with great interest:

"On another note, you met that new stargazer today, right?"

"Tell me quickly, is he a man or a woman? What does he look like? Is he good-looking?"

The two magical girls exchanged a glance.

Then they all burst into cheerful laughter.
