Chapter 225 The Great Fox Demon King
Chapter 225 The Great Fox Demon King
Why did the Demon King capture the princesses?
Inside the bright castle, the golden fox stood on the windowsill, overlooking the entire mental world, and murmured softly.
She seemed to be talking to someone, yet it also seemed like she was talking to herself.
"As an evil villain, the Demon King always tries to kidnap princesses, summon dragons, or destroy kingdoms, but why does he do these things?"
"Is it because the Demon King wants to rule the world? But if the Demon King is evil, why would he try to rebuild his own order instead of letting the world continue in chaos?"
"So, I think the reason why the Demon King does 'bad things,' why he turns the princess into a frog, a swan, or something else... is all for one thing."
After saying that, Xin Yuehu raised a finger and turned to look at the girls not far behind her.
"—Looking for fun," Cheshire Rabbit said softly, adding this last sentence.
"That's right, it's all about having fun!"
"Seeing the princesses panicked and the magical girls terrified—only a villainous demon king can witness this and find it truly awe-inspiring!"
After speaking, Xin Yuehu grinned and smiled, while the pink-haired rabbit girl standing not far away also showed a firm and unwavering look of admiration.
Green Ivy and the other two were firmly bound to a pillar in the courtyard not far away.
Hearing Xin Yuehu's amusing remarks, and then turning to meet the infatuated smile on the pink-haired rabbit girl's face, the three of them made whimpering sounds from their mouths sealed with tape.
No one knows what exactly happened to them, but the smile on Cheshire Rabbit's face and the rabbit hammer and rattan whip in her hand are enough to tell the story.
Su Tianqing peered out the window with great interest, looking down at Swan Lake, which was shrouded in heavy curtains.
The ballet of the Four Little Swans has ended, the curtain has fallen, and the heroic sacrifice of Hyacinth and the other two has opened the path to the Demon King's castle for the remaining members.
And what they were about to face was... a Hellcat laughing and waving its cat-paw gloves.
"Hahaha! It's much more satisfying to beat up Hyacinth!"
"Stop hitting me! Why don't you go and hit those two instead?!"
"Hyacinth, shut up!"
A happy smile appeared on the golden fox's face.
The cat found its perfect punching bag and was very happy.
The rabbit, transformed into a sadistic hammer-wielding rabbit, also found a few handy punching bags and was just as happy.
As the creator of my mental world, I also derive a lot of joy from seeing everyone immersed in the world I created.
Everyone was happy, except for the magical girls.
"Well then, Miss Green Ivy."
Golden Fox casually closed the window, no longer looking at Hyacinth who was being chased around by Cat Girl, and turned her attention to Green Ivy and the other two.
The three sobs abruptly ceased, and they trembled silently, unsure of what fate awaited them next.
Hammer it into a flatbread and then stretch it with magic? Or tie it tightly with vines? Or perhaps...
"Hehehe... Why are you so afraid, Miss Green Ivy?"
The teleportation magic activated, and the charming golden fox suddenly appeared in front of Green Ivy, almost touching her. Her emerald vertical pupils revealed the unique beauty and allure of a fox.
"Miss Green Ivy, do you think someone will come to rescue you?"
"Probably."
"Tsk tsk tsk... You usually don't care about the people around you when fighting monsters, you only care about suppressing the monsters with firepower. Do you really think everyone wants to see the three of you get rescued?"
"In my live stream, there are more comments saying you want to see me get beaten up by Rabbit than you want to see me escape successfully~"
After saying that, Xin Yuehu casually slapped her hand, and the screen familiar immediately floated to her side, showing the three of them the dense barrage of comments in the live stream.
[Bunny, beat her up! They're the ones who demolished my house!]
[They said things would improve after Mai left, but last time they almost sent me and that weirdo to our deaths!]
Don't let them out!
Green Ivy stared blankly at the comments flooding the screen.
"You are supposed to be the guardians of Suicheng, Miss Green Ivy. Have you truly upheld this duty?"
Xin Yuehu's smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a cold and ruthless expression.
"When you were overwhelming the monsters with firepower, when you were attacking without regard for the safety of the people around you, did you really have any sense of responsibility as magical girls?"
"Or perhaps... you just happened to encounter the stargazers, happened to become magical girls, and didn't actually have the will to 'protect what's important'?"
Green Ivy remained silent, not daring to look into Heart Moon Fox's eyes.
Every word she said seemed to strike at my heart, posing a soul-searching question to me:
"As a magical girl, do you truly deserve the favor of the stars, Miss Green Ivy?"
"And you, having lost everyone's support, do you still expect your comrades to come to your rescue?"
After saying that, Su Tianqing leaned close to the ear of the immobile Green Ivy and said in a voice that all three of them could hear:
"To save you, they used their meager magic to fight against the Hellcats at full power, stormed into the castle to confront the terrifying illusions I created for them. They have the belief of 'protection' in their hearts, and that's what makes them worthy of being called magical girls."
"And what about you?"
"You did defeat the monster, and you did complete the Hero Association's mission, but you ignored the safety of what you were supposed to protect, leaving it battered and bruised."
"You blame all the mistakes on Wheat, naively believing that as long as Wheat leaves, your reputation will improve, people will continue to support you, and you will become excellent magical girls like Hyacinth and the others."
"How ridiculous."
"Are you worthy of the sacrifices they made, Miss Green Ivy?"
The green ivy drooped its head, not daring to answer Xin Yuehu's question.
I do not approve of Mai Sui's firepower coverage tactics, and I do think that her way of fighting, which ignores the surrounding crowd, is very unreasonable.
But...aren't I also relying on this fighting style?
Before Xin Yuehu arrived, didn't our group also choose to cover the attacking monsters in Suicheng with firepower?
And does this version of myself still remember the vows and beliefs I made when I became a magical girl?
"Let's take a look and see what everyone thinks of you!"
The screen displayed a message board that had been temporarily opened in the live broadcast room.
They don't deserve to be magical girls!
If it weren't for them, my mother wouldn't have been injured in the attack!
My house is completely destroyed, my life savings...
[Image, Image, Image]
The message board was filled with dilapidated ruins, injured residents, shops and houses reduced to rubble, and the shocking accusations and insults from the residents of Guangzhou.
"Magical girls are born to protect."
"Miss Green Ivy, look what you've been protecting!"
The golden fox leaned almost close to Green Ivy's ear and whispered something to her, his voice filled with anger.
Magical girl Green Ivy stared blankly at the tragic scene on the message board, then sobbed and finally burst into tears.
Violet and Edelweiss were in similar condition. The three of them were already on the verge of collapse because of Cheshire Rabbit, and when they saw such sharp accusations, their last psychological defenses were finally broken.
Su Tianqing did not continue speaking.
They're just children. Since they've gained the Stars' approval to become magical girls, they can't be hopeless.
If my words can reignite their fighting spirit, then...
"Bang!!"
A loud bang.
The door to the top floor room of the castle was blown open by a magic cannon. Su Tianqing smiled and turned her head to look, meeting the gaze of Mai Sui, who was holding a magic cannon in each hand!
He wasn't angry that she had interrupted his rambling; instead, he felt a surge of pleasure.
"Heart, Heart Moon Fox!"
Suppressing the fear he felt when facing Xin Yuehu, Mai Sui raised the twin magic cannon in his hand towards her.
"Hehehe... You came pretty quickly, Miss Wheat Ear."
Heart Moon Fox landed on the castle floor with a light laugh, and Cheshire Rabbit summoned Rabbit Hammer to follow closely beside her. The two of them looked at the magical girl Mai Sui, whose hands were trembling but who was still mustering her courage.
"A steadfast will and a determination to protect—these are the things I, Fox, most want to see."
Su Tianqing said with a smile, leaning forward as if assuming a fighting stance.
At the top floor of Fox Demon King's castle, the hero Mai Sui overcomes numerous obstacles and is about to engage in a fierce battle with the Demon King Fox!
"What a wonderful story of a righteous hero."
"Come, please me, Miss Wheat!"
