My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 112: The Game DesignerSu Fang spoke as if possessed by some impulse:
"Mom, your ring looks especially beautiful today."
Mu Gongma paused slightly, her hands instinctively stopping as she cleared the dishes.
"..."
She looked at the ring on her finger, as if seeing something from a distant past, not moving for a long time.
After a while, Mu Gongma finally reacted, her smile still as gentle as ever as she reached out and lightly tapped Su Fang's small nose.
"What's this, suddenly bringing up your father today? Is the love your mother gives you not enough?"
—Of course, she could pick up on Su Fang's hidden meaning.
But at this moment, in the eyes of the Cherry-Haired Girl and Su Fang, her expression showed nothing unusual, not like she was recalling something painful.
Seeing that she hadn't stepped on a landmine, Su Fang breathed a sigh of relief and giggled, "No way, Mom is the best mom in the world!"She pointed at the ring on Mu Gongma's hand again. "Then... this must be your wedding ring, right?"
The Cherry-Haired Girl listened quietly beside them.
Looking at the two girls watching her, Mu Gongma smiled, propped her cheek on her hand with her elbow resting on the table, a hint of nostalgia crossing her face. "It's not actually a wedding ring, you know."
"That year, when you were just six years old, he suddenly handed this to me, saying I had to wear it well, that it was my lucky stone or something like that."
The heroic and beautiful mother spoke softly. "Then... he just vanished, no idea what kind of trouble he got caught up in, and hasn't been in touch to this day."
"..."
Su Fang's emerald-green eyes dimmed slightly.
—Disappearing for so many years... what that meant in this world went without saying.
Had she shouldn't have brought this up?
But the next moment.
Mu Gongma's voice drifted over leisurely, making Su Fang look up in surprise.
"But... I think he's still out there. I don't have any proof, just a gut feeling."
"Huh...?"
Then, Su Fang saw an expression she had never seen on her mother's face before—completely unfamiliar.
The usually gentle mother's lips suddenly curled into an extremely dangerous arc. The hand resting on the table clenched into a fist, fingers gripping tight, eyes narrowing slightly.
"Even though I know he definitely didn't mean to... I still won't let him off easy."
"When he gets back, he's getting at least a hundred and eight punches from me."
"..." x2
Both the emerald-green pupils and the cherry-pink pupils quivered at the same time.
"Ah... oh dear~"
Seeing the two girls fall silent, Mu Gongma blinked as if just realizing something. Her expression did a complete one-eighty, instantly shifting back to that gentle mother. One hand covered her mouth, the other waved dismissively. "Oh, stop it—I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Su Fang nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.
...
Night.
After washing up, the two of them had bathed together and changed into their pajamas, returning to the second-floor bedroom carpeted in pink.
Su Fang sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at her own hands, her fingers clenching and unclenching as if still savoring the sensation from earlier.
"Senior Mengmengxiang's skin is so nice—smooth, fair, and soft. I feel like no matter how many times I touch it, it's never enough..."
As soon as she said this, the slightly blushing Cherry-Haired Girl beside her couldn't help but shoot her an exasperated look.
"Ah, I'm so sleepy... Let's turn in early today. Senior Airwen said we need to wake up early tomorrow to head to the Association."
Snap.
The room fell into darkness.
The pale moonlight filtered through the semi-transparent lace curtains.
Su Fang wrapped herself in the blanket, leaving only her little head poking out. Her emerald-green eyes sparkled in the dark, watching the senior beside her, feeling the warmth of her slightly damp body heat. A pure, unreserved smile suddenly bloomed on her pretty face.
"It's so strange..."
"I don't know why, but even though this is the first time I've met Senior Mengmengxiang, I just feel like we click so well... Is this what they call fate?"
The girl didn't say anything, just quietly watching her with those cherry-pink eyes.
"..."
The silence stretched on for a while. For some reason, Su Fang suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to speak her mind.
"Senior..."
"Actually, I really thought I was used to it before. No matter who I talked to, I could hold my head high and say that Mom and I were living happily."
The Cherry-Haired Girl's eyes flickered.
"But somehow... when I saw that photo today, it just suddenly hit me hard."
Su Fang gently turned over, facing the ceiling, and spoke softly, "I was only five or six back then. A lot of things I can't even remember now."
"Why Dad left me and Mom, where he went—I have no idea at all."
"Mom never talked to me about him, but she never got angry whenever I accidentally brought him up either. She just... looked a little sad..."
"I bet she only acted so upbeat today because you were here, Senior."
"..."
"Now, I can't even remember what Dad's face looks like."
"The only thing I do remember is... that Dad was a game designer."
Su Fang murmured, "A really, really amazing game designer."
"He once told me he wanted to make the greatest game ever—a game that could make everyone happy..."
To make everyone... happy...
But then why did he leave me and Mom?
Su Fang couldn't figure it out. She turned over again, stretched out her arm, and gently wrapped it around the girl beside her, pressing her face against her flat chest, breathing in the unique scent of body wash mixed with her natural fragrance.
This time, there was no intention of taking advantage—it was just a kind of dependence and closeness that felt like it had been repeated a thousand times.
The Cherry-Haired Girl silently shifted the Soul Gem on her chest slightly, making sure it wouldn't dig into Su Fang.
"Senior Mengmengxiang."
Su Fang's voice broke the silence, tinged with a hint of confusion. "What exactly... is a magical girl?"
The Cherry-Haired Girl was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and gently rubbed the girl's wine-red hair.
"A magical girl..."
"Someone who carries love and hope to protect others."
Her tone was steady, her words clear.
"To step up when others are in trouble."
"To stand together with companions."
"To never give up on anyone, ever."
"That's... what a magical girl should be, I think."
"...I see."
Su Fang buried herself in her arms, her breathing gradually becoming even and steady.
...
Time flew by.
Day fourteen.
Defeated Low-Level Nightmare Seed [Phantom Worm].
Day fifteen.
Defeated mid-level Nightmare Seed [Storm Witch].
Day sixteen.
Outer Realm.
Inside a vast, seemingly endless canyon.
BOOM!
Grrrriiiiiiiiieeeeeeee—
Accompanied by a dazzling burst of five-colored light that filled the sky and earth, the upper-level Nightmare Seed "Abyssal Maw," caught in a moment of weakness with its core directly struck, fell completely into its death throes of frenzy.
Its massive body, nearly a hundred meters long and wide like a small mountain, along with its short, thick limbs, trembled violently. Its gigantic mouth, taking up half its body, spewed out black fog and anguished howls. The entire canyon shook as if it were about to collapse.
Before long, it began to crumble from the edges of its black scales, dissolving into black ash scattering across the sky.
And at that moment, the girls finally had the chance to check on the person who had delivered the unexpected blow, interrupting its charge.
"Mengmengxiang (Senior)!!!"
