My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 128: Perhaps Because of the Dream Unknown, the Wandering Pursue Phantoms"Mengmengxiang senior, leave this to us."
Su Fang gave Lin Guang a knowing wink, then hoisted her drink and greeted the approaching magical girl seniors with a smiling face.
"……"
Lin Guang hesitated for a few seconds, his red eyes flickering, but in the end he nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after she left, the phoenix fluttering and darting about the party flapped up into the air, gave two clear coughs, and drew everyone's attention in the hall.
Basking in the focused gazes of the crowd, it swaggered and called out, "Fireworks time, fireworks time!"
Then it immediately shot out beyond the glass doors.
Su Fang, Zihan, and Tang Keren exchanged looks, each smiling, and stepped forward to join the large group heading outside.
"Here they come!"
"Three!""Two!"
"One!"
"Zero!"
Whoosh—
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Accompanied by dense sounds of air being split, countless fireworks shot up like meteors in reverse, erupting into the night sky over Kazenari Town.
Amid the deafening roar, the sky filled with explosions of color, so grand it felt as if the whole heavens might be set alight, painting the sky bright as daytime.
……………
The red-haired magical girl climbed the stairs to the dim second floor.
The second floor lights were off; the corridor's worn wooden floor stretched forward, and two wooden doors leading to the first- and second-generation magical girls' activity rooms stood tightly shut.
It was almost completely silent here. Despite being close to the noise below, it felt as if separated by a very long distance.
She should have continued upward immediately, but her steps stopped.
Because a faint song floated into her ears.
"Perhaps because of the dream unknown, the wandering pursue phantoms."
The voice was low, carrying a hint of desolation, like plucking a dust-covered marimba.
Lin Guang's red eyes fixed on the end of the corridor, where a figure woven of purple and amber stood quietly by the window.
It was Amber in transformation state.
At that moment, brilliant fireworks exploded and lit the face of this receptionist girl who had always seemed a little dazed in the past.
That foxlike, alluring face still looked as relaxed as ever.
However.
In those amber pupils there appeared something that could not be dispelled... sadness.
While everyone else went out to set off fireworks and enjoy the approaching victory, only she stood in this place representing the departed magical girls, as if mourning, and as if reminiscing.
The red-haired girl stepped over and stood beside this tenth-generation magical girl, who outwardly appeared about seventeen or eighteen, similar in age to Airwen, and said nothing.
The fireworks outside paused for an instant.
Amber's song stopped. She finally turned her head, the inscrutable expression in her eyes gone, she clapped her hands and smiled, "Oh my, Mengmengxiang, what brings you here?"
"Craving anything in particular?"
"……"
Lin Guang shook his head. "I'm looking for Airwen."
"Her, huh..."
Amber pointed at the ceiling. "She's drinking on the rooftop."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome~"
The two of them watched from the window the phoenix cavorting and darting around the building entrance below, and the magical girls who were unabashedly setting off fireworks while being gawked at by citizens.
Amber tapped her thin lips with a finger, and out of nowhere asked, "By the way, when did Mengmengxiang realize... that I am too?"
"…"
Lin Guang stood at her side and replied calmly, "The fifth time."
"Eh~ that fast?" Amber puckered her lips, a little indignant, "How did you figure it out!"
Lin Guang's answer remained concise.
"Bento."
Every special training, Amber made a different bento for him each day.
Other people's tastes cycled through the same twenty or thirty dishes, but Lin Guang's bentos were always changing, never repeated.
Across those fifty-eight cycles, she had made him one thousand one hundred and sixty bentos, never once repeating.
"Oh."
Amber blinked. "Well, that's because Mengmengxiang, you don't share your likes enough. You won't tell me what you like to eat, and you never show expression on your face."
"It made me guess and invent new dishes constantly, hair falling out from worry!"
"Ah, speaking of which, I should apologize to Mengmengxiang."
Amber suddenly put her palms together and tossed him a cute wink.
"Lately I feel like I've gotten May sickness, my cooking has been kind of~ sloppy."
"Because I keep thinking no matter how much effort I put into cooking or dessert for the amnesiac Mengmengxiang, I still can't make you happy."
"So I got this feeling of 'no matter how many times I try, it seems meaningless.'"
"……"
Lin Guang turned and walked toward the stairs, his voice drifting back softly.
"No."
It was not meaningless.
"I am satisfied with what I've been given."
"……Is that so."
The girl's amber eyes shimmered; she smiled, "Thank you, Mengmengxiang."
………………
After passing through Mengmengxiang's door on the seventh floor that opened automatically, and continuing up the stairs, Lin Guang reached the rooftop door and pushed it open.
The next moment, that silver figure came into view.
The night air was slightly cool. Airwen leaned quietly against the huge sign of the Happiness Peace Committee, one hand resting casually on the railing, the other holding a bottle, letting the breeze tousle her silver hair into a slight mess.
She was no longer in transformation; at some point she had changed into that black suit, and many empty bottles lay at her feet.
Sensing Lin Guang's approach, the silver-haired girl only turned her head slightly, cast a look at her with those black eyes, then turned away.
For some reason, Airwen's usual discipline and restraint—similar to Lin Guang's—were nowhere to be seen; she was holding a bottle to her mouth and drinking directly from it with no decorum.
Lin Guang could clearly see the label showing sixty percent alcohol.
For reasons unknown, the phoenix's voice from downstairs suddenly became extremely piercing, audible even on the rooftop.
"Ahem ahem! Can you hear me? Can you hear me?"
"Starting a citywide live broadcast now!"
The girl's voice proudly announced, "Just now, the Sacred Tree directly issued a divine oracle! The target is all residents of Kazenari Town!"
"After generations of tireless effort and sacrifice by the magical girls, the Sacred Tree has accumulated enough power!"
She inhaled deeply, then solemnly declared, "Humanity is about to leave this birdcage and step out into the outside world!"
For some reason, this kind of proclamation—normally a document or decree to be formally announced in consultation with the government and administrators—was being broadcast directly to the populace by the phoenix.
She paused, and the voice, amplified by magic, continued to spread throughout Kazenari Town's domain:
"So, everyone!"
"For the freedom of humanity, give a cheer and celebrate!"
