Chapter 379 Grievance
The two abyssal beasts barely exchanged words before their massive bodies collided violently.
A tremendous roar echoed through the street once more as the Reaper Cutter's scythe arm slammed into the Abyssal Tree before it. Several vital branches snapped instantly, and accompanied by a sizzling, corrosive sound, the Abyssal Tree let out a violent howl.
I don't know if it was from anger or pain.
Roar!
A sharp, piercing scream echoed throughout the street, bombarding the eardrums of every creature on the street. To the humans nearby, it was as terrifying as Karthus unleashing his ultimate attack, a type of area-of-effect damage.
Those who were closer immediately went black, their fate unknown.
Those further away, upon hearing this roar, trembled violently, blood flowed from their seven orifices, and they let out agonizing howls.
Many people even experienced incontinence.
Even Hoshino Saki couldn't help but cover her ears. The terrifying scream was like a series of hammer blows hitting her head, causing her to faint.
She turned her head and found that Bai Xiaodie and Bai Chaxiazi had fainted, but Ning Zixuan was perfectly fine.
Making eye contact is very awkward.
Because almost everyone around them had fainted or passed out, while the two of them were the only ones who remained sitting perfectly fine in their seats.
It should be noted that even among magical girls, only those at the [Breathbreaker] level can withstand such a sonic attack, but Ning Zixuan was completely unharmed.
Perhaps feeling a little uneasy under Hoshino Saki's gaze, Ning Zixuan broke the silence first: "Ahem~ Does Hoshino-sensei also have some kind of special hidden identity?"
"Well, what about you, Teacher Ning?"
Hoshino Saki looked at her new colleague with some surprise as well.
"Me too, except I'm semi-retired and don't usually participate in disaster relief anymore. But if you need help, Hoshino-sensei, feel free to contact me anytime."
Ning Zixuan turned her head to look at the unconscious Huan Die behind her, feeling both speechless and amused. She had personally witnessed Huan Die faint immediately after discovering that Bai Cha Xia Zi had fainted while clutching her head, without any hesitation. By the time she came to her senses, Hoshino Saki had already raised her head and noticed her unusual condition.
"Hmm, it seems we've gained even more common topics to discuss!"
A smile appeared on Hoshino Saki's face. During their interaction today, she felt that the other woman's personality seemed quite compatible with her own. She was generous and warm, and didn't like to hide anything, which was clearly different from other Japanese female teachers.
"Hoshino-sensei, what are your plans now?"
"Hmm, I think we can observe the situation first, let these two Abyssal Beasts fight like dogs, and then we can make our move when they are both severely injured."
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Their gazes returned to the Abyssal Tree and the Death Cutter. The Abyssal Tree's shrieks were very harmful to humans, but to the Death Cutter, they were like a mosquito buzzing in its ear.
This directly enraged the Grim Reaper, whose sharp spines transformed into chainsaws, severing all the wildly growing branches of the Abyssal Tree. After several rounds, the once lush and leafy Abyssal Tree was like a naked girl stripped bare.
The crushing force, the final gleaming scythe piercing straight into the core of the Abyssal Tree, unleashed a torrent of milky sap. Anything touched by this sap began to sprout and grow, whether it was concrete, cars, or people...
But the Grim Reaper didn't care about any of that. After shattering the core of the Abyssal Tree, it simply disappeared.
The main theme is doing good deeds anonymously.
Ning Zixuan and Hoshino Saki exchanged a glance and, without further hesitation, two dazzling lights flashed as they began to divide the work. Ning Zixuan brought the humans parasitized by the Abyss Tree to Hoshino Saki, while Hoshino Saki was responsible for purifying them using holy light magic.
A few minutes later, the Sakura Judgment Team arrived.
"Captain, how's the situation on site? Is there anything we can help with?"
Magical girl Lan Yuan observed the scene and found that the [Shura] level Abyssal Demon Tree had been dealt with, but judging from the battle traces, there should still be an Abyssal Calamity Beast present.
"Well, let's leave the surviving Abyssal Beast, which is a [Shura]-level Death Cutter, for now. You guys heal these injured survivors first, and also gather some information about the battle scene. We might encounter this [Shura]-level Death Cutter again in the future."
"clear."
The members of the Sakura Judgment Squad nodded, but when they turned around, they found that the magical girl Yu Ming had not arrived in time.
Sigh, I really don't know how this burden became a magical girl.
After giving the instructions, Hoshino Saki canceled her transformation and returned to the car. Ning Zixuan, who was standing next to her, joked, "I didn't expect that Hoshino-sensei is the famous cherry blossom magician from Japan."
"No, actually I'm just more famous in Silver Glow. There are quite a few amazing magical girls in Japan, and even more amazing magical girls in your Xia country. I dream of exchanging skills and techniques with you guys."
"There will definitely be many more opportunities like this in the future, but isn't it a bit too bad of you to just hand over the task to your team members and then sneak off to leave work?" Ning Zixuan teased with a smile.
A flicker of guilt crossed Hoshino Saki's eyes. She pouted and said, "Nene-chan, you can't be that mean. I already uploaded the on-site information just now. All they need to do now is clean up the scene. You're slandering me!"
"Is that so? Sorry, sorry, haha." Ning Zixuan laughed and started the car.
The car was originally stuck inside, but the two magical girls should be able to move it to a nearby open space during their free time, right?
After driving for about three or four minutes, Bai Chaxia woke up. The first thing she did was look at Bai Xiaodie beside her. After confirming that the other person was alright, she looked up at the two teachers in the front row and found that they did not look worried or scared at all.
Finally, she looked at her incessantly ringing phone in her pocket.
This was a message from a member of the Sakura Judgment Team. First, they asked her why she hadn't arrived at the scene of the calamity yet, and then a few minutes later, they sent a message telling her not to come.
"6
'
She wanted to explain, but didn't know how.
Even if she explained, they would most likely say that if she couldn't even withstand a wave of sonic attacks from the Abyssal Tree, what kind of magical girl was she?
So she silently turned off her phone again. She used to become a magical girl because she felt that magical girls were very powerful and could protect others from harm, but later she realized that she couldn't even protect herself.
Ding Baicha Xiazi received another message on her phone. Misfortune never comes singly. If the previous message from the Sakura Judgment Team had made her feel depressed, after reading this message, her face turned pale and weak, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
There was only one very short message on her phone: "Xia Zi, that bastard went home. You'd better watch yourself."
Although Shizuko Murakami's attitude towards Natsuko Shirakawa wasn't exactly friendly, in Natsuko's heart, her mother was still a beautiful angel.
She knew that her tuition fees and the family's daily necessities were all earned by her mother through hard work. Although her mother sometimes spoke harshly, she was still quite caring towards her.
However, her father, Shiracha Hiroto, was completely different; he was an absolute devil.
Now that the other person has returned home, it means her nightmare is about to begin again.
Just then, a familiar hand appeared again, gently grasping her cold little hand and bringing a touch of warmth to her heart.
Sigh, Huan Die looked at the withdrawn girl beside her who kept falling into an emo state.
Well, since I took on the project in the first place, I might as well see it through to the end and make the other party change completely.
However, Huan Die did not notice that Ning Zixuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat and looking in the rearview mirror, was almost grinding her teeth to powder.
Bai Yuze is really too much! He actually touched and groped other girls right in front of her. Where is your professional ethics?
Hoshino Saki, who was standing nearby, noticed this and looked at Ning Zixuan in shock. Holy crap, my bestie, you're not a siscon, are you?
In this strange atmosphere, the group arrived at their destination, Sinan Xiaoyuan.
In the car, Huan Die looked around at the surrounding environment. The greenery of Si Nan Xiao Yuan was very high. There was a park lake not far from the community, as well as a running track and a sports exercise area. Compared with her own living environment, it was like heaven and earth.
After parking the car, Ning Zixuan opened the car door and subtly took Huan Die's hand: "How is it? The environment here is nice, isn't it? Why don't you move in with me? My house is quite big."
There's no place like home.
"Once you move in, this is your home, and you can call it whatever you want."
"Not interested."
"Ugh."
Watching Bai Xiaodie break free from her grasp and go upstairs alone, Ning Zixuan sighed softly.
"What's wrong? Is there some unresolved conflict between you sisters? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hoshino Saki listened to their words, looking somewhat confused.
Ning Zixuan said they were half-sisters, so their relationship should be pretty good. However, Bai Xiaodie didn't want to live with her, but she was willing to participate in the group activities prepared by Ning Zixuan.
It's the kind of situation where there aren't any major conflicts, but there are constant minor ones.
"Actually, there wasn't much of a conflict. We were very close when we were kids, and we even slept together. But after I went away for a few years, our relationship became distant."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go upstairs."
"it is good."
As Hoshino Saki watched them go upstairs, her eyes gradually became complicated. She murmured a few times, "Is it the estrangement between sisters caused by being separated for several years?"
Upstairs, Ning Zixuan had prepared pink bunny slippers for them, which were truly girly and sweet.
Upon entering the living room, Ning Zixuan was right; her house was indeed quite large. Outdoor light streamed into the living room through wide floor-to-ceiling windows, and there was a half-person-sized rabbit doll on the sofa.
When Hoshino Saki and the others sat down on the sofa, their expressions varied. Hoshino Saki's smile remained unchanged. She noticed several interesting trinkets in Ning Zixuan's home, such as a SpongeBob SquarePants clay sculpture, a poster of "Your Name," and hyacinths planted on the balcony...
She never expected such a pleasant surprise during her visit to Teacher Ning's home.
Unlike the smiling homeroom teacher, Bai Chaxiazi had a furrowed brow. She had actually sensed a few wisps of abyssal beast aura in Teacher Ning's house.
It was very strong, but when she tried to continue sensing the other party's location, the abyssal aura suddenly became faint, almost imperceptible.
A few seconds later, the wisp of energy completely disappeared, as if it had never existed at all.
Huan Die had been silently observing Bai Cha Xia Zi's expression. When she first arrived at Sakura Hana-cho Middle School, she noticed that a girl in her class looked very strange and her fear was too obvious. She wasn't the kind of girl who was easily frightened, so why was she so afraid of her?
It was only after further contact that she began to understand that the other person had likely already sensed that she was not human, which was why they were so afraid.
But that's really outrageous.
Even Hoshino Saki, the homeroom teacher, couldn't sense it, so how did you, a magical girl at the [Sanba] level, manage to sense it?
If what happened before was an accident, she can now be absolutely certain that Bai Cha Xia Zi's perception ability is extremely strong; one could even say that she is a mobile abyssal creature's human radar.
She just tested it on the Death Cutter Xiao Si. Bai Cha Xia Zi's perception range is about 500 meters. Beyond that range, the other party can no longer perceive her.
Thinking of this, Huan Die picked up a bamboo skewer, inserted a crystal-clear grape, and held it to Bai Cha Xia Zi's lips: "Ah, open your mouth."
"I can do it myself."
"Listen to me, open your mouth."
"oh."
Bai Cha Xia Zi opened her cherry-like mouth and obediently accepted the feeding from Huan Die.
When Ning Zixuan brought several cups of tea to them, Bai Cha Xiazi had already been fed by Huan Die and looked like a little squirrel, with her cheeks puffed out, making Ning Zixuan's fists hard.
She smiled gently at Hoshino Saki and the others, saying, "You don't need to be so reserved. Just make yourself at home."
With a cold expression, she forcefully pulled Huan Die into the kitchen, saying, "What do you mean? You've never even fed me fruit!"
Huan Die glanced at her, picked a few grapes from a bunch on the cutting board, washed them, and fed them to the other person. "Is it okay now?"
While chewing, Ning Zixuan said sarcastically, "Hmph, you don't want to be an old cow eating young grass, do you? That girl is probably still a minor, right? It's one thing to hold other people's hands all the time, but to feed them fruit too. I've never even enjoyed that kind of treatment."
Huan Die simply picked a few more grapes and stuffed them into the other person's mouth. "Can you not be so filthy? I just see that she is a bit withdrawn and introverted, and I want to help her get out of it. After all, I see your shadow in her back then."
At this, Ning Zixuan became completely flustered. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of barely concealed anger crept onto her face: "You're talking nonsense. Did I look like an autistic child back then?"
Huan Die nodded. She sat under the tree reading for an entire afternoon, while the other person sat under the tree watching her for the same afternoon, which made Huan Die's scalp tingle.
"Let's not talk about that. Since you asked me to come into the kitchen, what do you need me to do for you?"
"I don't need your help; I can make delicious food myself."
Are you sure?
"roll!"
"Tsk."
The Butterfly clicked her tongue and decisively left the kitchen.
""
After seeing Huan Die leave the kitchen, Ning Zixuan's last bit of confidence vanished. Originally, she had only planned to have Huan Die come to her house alone, so that even if the food wasn't done properly, only the two of them would know.
But then the plan changed. Xiao Si was just chased away by Huan Die again. She chased Huan Die away again. If things don't go well, she'll make a huge fool of herself.
In addition, she felt a surge of annoyance towards Huan Die. She told her to leave, and she actually left!
You know how good my cooking is.
All you do is bully me and make me angry!
Ning Zixuan looked at the spatula in front of her, and her eyes inexplicably felt a little sore.
Just then, a melodious girlish voice, warm and gentle, reached her ears, "No, you're such a grown-up, why are you still secretly shedding little pearls?"
"I didn't cry!"
Noticing the girl approaching, Ning Zixuan quickly distanced herself and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
You've misjudged.
Huan Die found Ning Zixuan's stubborn appearance somewhat amusing. "Yes, yes, you didn't cry. What do you need me to do? I'll help you, okay?"
"Hmph, you came here on your own initiative, I didn't beg you to come. Also, you're not allowed to say a word when the food is served."
"Okay, okay, no problem, Chef Ning."
