My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Chapter 151: At the Brink of Life and Death, I Realized Magic Power... Oh Wait, I Still Haven't Realized It

The girl lowered her head and clutched the Soul Gem at her chest, her cherry-red eyes staring at it for a long moment.

"..."

Was that how she had done it back then?

The next moment.

Lin Guang used her slender, fair arm to prop herself on the rock and stood up again, her little black shoes touching the ground once more.

Her body, overdrawn to the limit, no longer even protested; the sharp weakness, soreness, hunger, and thirst had all faded away, leaving only an eerie numbness.

She had died many times, that was true, but this light, drifting near-death sensation was something she had never encountered before.

Lin Guang paid it no mind and kept moving forward.

Through the forest thick with black fog, the cherry-red-eyed girl staggered onward.

Time seemed to lose all meaning.

Her ability to think gradually ebbed away.

Yet...

At that very moment, suddenly a familiar sound echoed, as if from a very distant place.

Someone was singing.

The voice was faint, mournful yet not sorrowful, carrying an indescribable loneliness.

Lin Guang turned her head slightly; her unfocused cherry-red eyes cleared a bit as she looked toward the source of the song.

In the dim vision that had been shrouded by black fog, a long-missed gentle light suddenly surged into being as if from nowhere.

Along with that light and the song came a warmth that seemed to seep directly into the depths of the soul, slowly dispelling the surrounding dead chill.

The singer intoned, "Perhaps because one forgets dreams, the drifted ones chase phantoms..."

At that instant, the huge wall of light stretching to the horizon came back into view.

Before the wall stood a slender silhouette.

Although the view was somewhat blurry, the waterfall-smooth black hair, the outrageously full curve at the chest, and the fox-like, alluring face of the girl made Lin Guang recognize her at once.

It was Amber.

...

A short while later.

Inside the Sacred Tree's domain.

In that lush forest, a picnic blanket had been spread out, and the rich aroma of food filled the air.

The black-haired girl sat on the blanket and fed a spoonful of hot porridge to the frail, beautiful girl in her arms.

She cupped Lin Guang's delicate face, her eyes full of gentleness and concern.

"Here, open your mouth."

"..."

The cherry-red girl's cheek was nestled right against that large, comforting object; even cloth could not block the soft sensation emanating from it.

Lin Guang could only rely on that softness and the scent as the other girl spooned meat porridge into her mouth, little by little, and she swallowed.

— She could always pull out nipple covers so easily, huh, this one is definitely a nipple-cover fan.

Strangely enough, whatever Sacred Tree component had been added to that fragrant meat porridge made it perfectly digestible; after just a few mouthfuls, Lin Guang's near-death sensation had noticeably lessened.

Combined with the Precision Operation Engine's control over the body, in only a few minutes Lin Guang felt she had regained some mobility.

She prepared to sit up and feed herself.

But the slightest movement prompted an irresistible, forceful look in Amber's amber-clear eyes.

— No.

The next moment, Amber's fair hands pinned Lin Guang back into her embrace, burying her deeper.

"..."

Lin Guang thought the porridge tasted oddly fragrant in some way.

They ate for a full half hour.

Warm food gradually filled the voids in body and spirit; Lin Guang finally swallowed the last spoonful of porridge, feeling the long-missed fullness of magic power flow through her slender body again.

Amber finally loosened her hold a bit, placing both hands on Lin Guang's tender cheeks and kneading them as if checking whether she was truly all right.

Her foxlike, pretty face pressed close, serious and expressionless, almost cheek to cheek, their warm, sweet breaths easily smelled.

Lin Guang: "..."

Thirty seconds later, Amber finally nodded in satisfaction, releasing Lin Guang's face, which was now covered in red marks from the rubbing, and returned to her usual dazed, innocent smile, nodding vigorously.

"Mm, you look much better now."

"A pretty girl like Mengmengxiang should look like a girl, right?"

Lin Guang sat up in her arms and scooted about a meter away, still seated, facing her.

In the forest, sunlight filtered through the leaves in hazy patches; the birds' clear calls could be faintly heard. The unpleasant stench of black fog was gone, replaced by the smell of earth and grass and a faint floral scent.

This was inside the boundary—the world of common sense.

Both are forests, but here represents life, while the Outer Realm represents death.

At that moment, Lin Guang's cherry-red eyes, now restored with spirit, quietly watched the girl in front of her and spoke softly and earnestly:

"Thank you."

"It was really delicious, I'm full."

"You're welcome~"

Amber smiled charmingly.

But in the next moment, that foxlike face suddenly lost its smile and quietly said, "Mengmengxiang."

"Do you know? Your expression just now was really scary."

"You always try to shoulder everything on your own, right? Even if it means you might die, is that so?"

"You're thinking of leaving immediately to go help them now, aren't you?"

"Don't try to fool me; I'm very familiar with that expression."

"I suppose... Airwen has already told you a lot, including about Full Bloom and such, right?"

"..."

Lin Guang didn't speak, merely lowering her gaze slightly.

— If what Airwen said was true.

The aftereffects of Full Bloom could not be completely healed even by reincarnation or by blessings, and would instead persist and even accelerate the so-called "witchification" process.

Then...

Lin Guang absolutely could not stand by while Su Fang, Tang Keren, and Zihan underwent Full Bloom again.

Both rational logic and emotional impulse would push her to make that choice.

"Sigh."

Amber lifted her hand and gently placed it on the cherry-red girl's hair, stroking softly:

"Hmm... consider it a reminder from a senior."

"At least from now on, rely on others a little more, okay?"

Amber spoke gently and seriously, "Or rather, trust them a bit more, and trust the effort you put in before."

"They are not as fragile as you imagine; they have grown into magical girls capable of handling things on their own."

"Because of your protection and encouragement, magical girls across past cycles, at the same level of reincarnation, were in much worse condition than Su Fang and the others."

"In this special world, if Full Bloom happens once or twice, as long as the Sacred Tree's blessing is used for recovery, it isn't actually that catastrophic."

"All of this is thanks to you, Mengmengxiang."

"What you did was so impressive that both Phoenix and I could hardly believe it."
