Chapter 22 00022
22 Chapter - Love And Bonds? Oh, Yes, Yes!
Ye Yao didn't expect to wait for Mo Qiuli before a new loli arrived.
How could this Magical Girl be so tenacious?
Yesterday, lying on the ground, opening and closing her eyes, she looked like she was about to go fight for a resurrection with Gojo Satoru 2.5.
Yet, the next day, she was bouncing around.
Ye Yao quickly pulled Mo Qiuli into the room.
"How is your body? Is there anywhere you're still uncomfortable?"
Ye Yao circled Mo Qiuli, checking her.
She touched here and touched there, taking advantage of all the opportunities.
But even with such a careful inspection, Ye Yao didn't find a single injury on Mo Qiuli.
Not even a band-aid.
"Does your ability include super healing?"
"Ah... it's not that exaggerated. The adults healed me, which allowed me to recover by the next day."
Mo Qiuli smiled sheepishly.
She was undoubtedly scolded again after returning this time.
And the big brothers and sisters who rushed over later were also inexplicably criticized.
Mo Qiuli, not even B-rank, dared to face a B-rank enemy.
She almost paid with her life.
Although it was to stop bad people from harming the innocent, she was still given a notice of punishment.
The plan was for Mo Qiuli to reflect properly.
For example, she was forbidden from operating as a Magical Girl within the city.
The punishment lasted for a week.
This seemed like a mild punishment.
But this was because they understood Mo Qiuli.
For Mo Qiuli, this was definitely a huge punishment.
Under normal circumstances,
A week's worth of accumulated Magical Girl suppression would make her suffer from insomnia and wailing.
Fortunately, Ye Yao was by her side now.
That could somewhat alleviate her suppressed mood.
"I see, an ability that can heal injuries?"
Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.
That explained it.
"It's good that your injuries are healed, but why did you come so early? I just woke up not long ago."
"...Because I wanted to see Ye Yao."
Mo Qiuli said this shyly.
In her normal state, she rarely spoke so directly.
Only when she transformed into a Magical Girl would she become enthusiastic and brave.
But Ye Yao's rescue yesterday was too cool.
Mo Qiuli still felt a sense of admiration when she thought about it {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} now.
That was an enemy she couldn't defeat even with all her strength.
She didn't expect Ye Yao to solve it so easily.
Although it was a bit regrettable that she didn't defeat the enemy in her Magical Girl form,
But isn't this plot of stepping forward in despair to defeat the bad guy very much in the spirit of a Magical Girl?
"Last night, Ye Yao was amazing. Thank you for saving me."
"Mmm-hmm~ Mmm-hmm~ You're welcome, it was just a small favor."
Ye Yao puffed out her chest, almost floating from the praise.
Being praised by such a cute loli was truly super enjoyable, wasn't it?
It was like getting a penta kill in the canyon, with the other four teammates all unmuting to say "Big bro, you're awesome!", and even cute girls expressing admiration and such.
It was too enjoyable.
"Oh, right, you didn't tell anyone about my information, did you?"
Mo Qiuli quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum, her nervousness evident.
"Of course not! I would never betray Ye Yao. Doesn't Ye Yao wanting to hide her identity feel very much like a Magical Girl? I completely understand and fully support it."
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Ye Yao was just about to emphasize that she wasn't a Magical Girl.
But then she thought about how persistent Mo Qiuli was, so she just went along with her.
As long as she didn't make her patrol every day, it would be fine.
The atmosphere quieted down.
In her normal state, Mo Qiuli was like a socially anxious little slug.
If there was a dark corner in the room, she would probably instinctively retreat to it and become reclusive.
She also lacked the ability to initiate conversations with others.
Just like now.
After Mo Qiuli finished explaining, she lowered her head and shyly stared at the floor.
Her hands, not knowing where to go, could only be clasped between her fair, flesh-toned thighs.
Her long bangs covered her eyes, lacking even the courage to make eye contact.
Coincidentally,
Ye Yao, both in her previous life and this one, was not a smooth-talking social butterfly.
"Speaking of which... I think I killed someone."
As soon as she spoke,
Mo Qiuli's body visibly stiffened.
After Ye Yao said it, she also realized she had brought up an inappropriate topic.
Was this a topic two lolis should be discussing?
However, the words were already out.
"Ah, just pretend I didn't say anything just now."
Ye Yao tried to gloss over it, sounding a bit unconfident.
"Ye Yao didn't kill anyone."
A whisper reached Ye Yao's ears.
What she didn't expect was that Mo Qiuli didn't intend to end the topic.
Mo Qiuli looked up, finally daring to meet Ye Yao's gaze.
This time, her gaze was very firm, with an undeniable sense of resolve.
"That guy wasn't human. Ye Yao killed him to protect me, and to give an explanation to those who died. If Ye Yao were to develop trauma and guilt over something like this, I would be very sad. So please don't consider him human. You haven't carried the weight of anyone's life."
Ye Yao opened her mouth, her pupils shaking, a little speechless.
After a long pause, she finally spoke.
"I thought you'd only dare to say these things when you transformed into Mercury Loli."
The heavy atmosphere broke in an instant.
Mo Qiuli covered her face, blushing.
Steam seemed to rise from her head.
"Ugh... it's all for Ye Yao... please don't look at me..."
"So cute, isn't she~"
Such a delicious reaction.
Ye Yao felt like her loli-con soul was about to awaken.
But if she teased her too much, would she force Mo Qiuli into her Magical Girl form?
Without Fission, her stats might not actually be able to beat Mercury Loli.
And Mercury Loli really had courage and initiative.
Unlike now, being so timid.
After a while,
Mo Qiuli's warm earlobes slowly cooled down.
After this little interlude, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"Isn't Ye Yao afraid? This should be your first time, right?"
"Mmm-hmm, it really is my first time. It was like kicking a stray dog by the roadside; I slept soundly afterward."
Mo Qiuli only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ye Yao's state didn't seem like she was feigning bravery.
"That's great then. Magical Girls don't need to feel guilty for eliminating evil."
Ye Yao almost emphasized that she wasn't a Magical Girl, just like a certain Emperor.
Will this child, in the future, become so suppressed that she imagines her as a Magical Girl and then directly activates her QQ space?
"Actually, I still have a question."
Mo Qiuli's words interrupted Ye Yao's wild thoughts.
"Why was Ye Yao so powerful last night?"
"Because I borrowed your power, Mo Qiuli."
"But my power isn't that strong. Even if you borrowed all of it, it wouldn't be enough to defeat that bad guy."
"Because it required the boost of our friendship to unleash such great power."
Ye Yao spoke half-truths.
If one looked closely, there wasn't really anything wrong with it.
Mo Qiuli quickly understood.
"So it's the power of love and bonds between Magical Girls! As expected, Magical Girls have infinite possibilities."
"Ah... yes, yes, that's exactly it."
Ye Yao absolutely loved this loli who could come up with self-consistent logic in her imagination.
