My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 124: Home, Sweet HomeShe said softly, "Senior Mengmengxiang, do you know something?"
"Last time, when I came back from the Outer Realm with you and Senior Airwen, I already noticed this place."
"Back then, I thought that when the sun set, looking down from here would be really beautiful... but I never had the chance to come see it later."
Su Fang smiled and murmured softly, but her voice sounded a bit floaty in the wind.
"Sure enough, now that I look at it, it's more beautiful than any place I've ever seen before, and it's also a better angle for photographing Kazenari Town."
"Speaking of which, this trip only lasted a few days, counting it all up."
A nasal tone suddenly crept into the girl's voice.
Her eyes were slightly red, with traces of glistening moisture in her gaze. She hurriedly raised the back of her hand in an awkward manner and rubbed her eyes forcefully.
"But... it really feels like I've made a big, big, big... detour."
Lin Guang looked at her face, listened to her words, and his cherry-red eyes flickered slightly, while Airwen's movements also came to a halt."..."
"Idiot."
But the next moment, Tang Keren suddenly walked up beside the two of them. She looked at Lin Guang, who seemed at a loss, then at Su Fang's appearance, sighed, and gently raised her hand, rubbing Su Fang's head just like a real older sister would.
"Don't cry. You'll ruin the mood."
…………
One hour later.
The setting sun had completely sunk into the sea, and a quiet night had descended upon the city.
The girls had finally arrived at the entrance of the Magical Girl Association headquarters, in front of the Happiness Peace Committee building in the city center.
Airwen pressed her left hand against the sensor lock, and the glass door opened with a sound.
Then—
"Waaaaah!"
The moment her left foot stepped inside, a fiery red, scalding object fluttered over with that unfamiliar yet familiar girl's voice and pounced into Airwen's arms.
"You all actually succeeded!"
The group looked at the Sacred Tree Spirit "Phoenix" in some surprise.
Large teardrops were rolling from the corners of this bird's eyes—this creature who usually never acted serious. It was hard to imagine that such a rich expression could appear on a bird's face.
It seemed to be joy, yet also sadness.
The girls looked at each other.
Had it sensed the approach of the last Fragment of Hope?
Or had Airwen already sent it a message along the way?
That would make sense.
The silver-haired girl seemed not to have anticipated it being this excited. Her whole body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses.
"...."
Airwen gently stroked the feathers on top of its head, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, an extremely rare sight: "Yeah, we succeeded."
"Welcome back!"
The black-haired girl with a very impressive chest also walked over from the front desk.
That was the receptionist named Amber... or rather, the receptionist magical girl.
At this moment, she clasped her hands together, a smile at the corner of her mouth, her amber-colored eyes fixed on the group. Then she walked up to everyone and bowed gently.
"Really... really really... you've all worked so hard!"
Seeing this scene, Su Fang couldn't help but say, "Miss Amber, we succeeded!"
"That's way too exaggerated. With yours truly on the case, recovering Fragments of Hope is nothing but a piece of cake."
"Tangtang, your phrasing is what's way too exaggerated..."
The three of them started chatting, but they didn't expect Amber to turn around again and look toward Airwen and Lin Guang.
"Airwen, Mengmengxiang."
Her smile suddenly faded slightly, her gaze shifting between cherry-red and pure black eyes, her tone carrying a hint of extremely complex emotion, as if it were filled with feeling and also heartache.
"You two... have worked hard too."
"..."*2
Airwen closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again: "It's nothing."
Lin Guang looked at Amber, his gaze lingering for a moment on that fox-like, enchanting face.
The black-haired girl's expression seemed to have shed its usual dazed and carefree demeanor, becoming calm and profound.
If he had to say it, right now Amber looked like she had taken off a mask, revealing a side she had never shown before, yet it was also like she had put on a mask, making it impossible to read her emotions.
Lin Guang looked at her for a while but ultimately said nothing. He just shook his head and calmly replied:
"It's nothing but a bit of wind and frost."
Zihan blinked: "Hmm, that line is pretty cool..."
Su Fang, standing beside them, found it a bit puzzling.
It was understandable that Phoenix, this Sacred Tree Spirit, was so excited—after all, it was impossible not to be excited upon hearing this news.
But... something felt a little off.
Everyone was part of the same team, so why did Senior Amber separate and thank Airwen and Mengmengxiang specifically?
But just then, Phoenix flew out of Airwen's arms, spread its wings, and its firelight flickered uncontrollably. It interrupted Su Fang's thoughts with a cheer.
It folded its wings and landed arrogantly on the counter: "Alright! Everyone can't wait any longer! Hurry up and return that biggest Fragment of Hope to Lord Sacred Tree!"
"Su Fang! It's on you, right? I can sense it!"
For a moment, everyone fell silent, their gazes all focusing on Su Fang.
Su Fang held her breath and focused as she reached gently into her chest.
When her hand came out again, there was already a half-palm-sized Fragment of Hope in her palm, radiant and shimmering all over.
This was everyone's hope.
The hope of Kazenari Town.
And even... the hope of all humanity.
Su Fang took a deep breath and walked up to that "Lucky Tree."
Because that Phoenix creature kept watering it with boiling water every day, everyone had almost forgotten that it was actually a clone of the Sacred Tree.
But after being away for half a month, it had become much greener and more spirited, with noticeably fewer withered yellow leaves.
This was probably the recovery brought by the four Fragments of Hope that had returned on their own earlier.
And now, the final piece was finally about to return to its place.
She leaned forward slightly, presenting the massive fragment—obtained after overcoming countless hardships and obstacles—bringing it into gentle contact with an emerald green leaf.
That Fragment of Hope deconstructed in an instant, transforming into a dazzling seven-colored light.
The light was like a living river of stars, gently yet irresistibly flowing into the leaf.
Hmm—
The radiance moved down along the leaf veins bit by bit, then the branches, the trunk, and the roots. Under everyone's gaze, it gradually lit up completely, emitting a strange and magnificent golden glow.
Then...
Ding!
After the entire tree was fully illuminated, an invisible ripple erupted at a speed surpassing everything, spreading throughout all of Kazenari Town.
This ripple ignored the barriers of steel and concrete, ignored the folding of physical space, and in the span of a single breath, it swept through the streets and alleys, reaching every corner of the entire city.
Ordinary people were completely unaware of it.
But in some corners of this city, long-dormant souls sensed something—news they had been waiting for, for who knows how long.
