My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Chapter 44: The Abyss Is Terrifying, But Not When You’re With Seniors

This was naturally something she could agree to without hesitation.

At this moment.

Su Fang stood by the railing, both hands resting on it, letting the gentle evening breeze lift the tips of her wine-red hair as her gaze drifted toward the distant horizon where sea met sky.

Beside Su Fang, the cherry-haired girl stood quietly, the sunset casting a gorgeous crimson over her already cherry-red eyes, as if mirroring the color she took on when transformed.

“…”

The silver-haired girl in a suit watched their silhouettes, then walked up and stood beside them, all three watching the sunset together.

They watched the huge, brilliant sun slowly sink toward the sea, its blinding light softening as it did, scattering millions of glittering golden fragments across the water, illuminating the three women’s differently colored hair and eyes.

The three of them silently watched the sunset, each seeming to carry her own thoughts.

After a while, Airwen opened her mouth, as if about to say something.

But Su Fang interrupted before she could speak.

“Actually, I understand everything.”

This was the first time the girl known as the Prophecy Maiden spoke since leaving the Association building, her voice low and soft.

“If I don’t make up my mind, everyone will be in trouble, right?”

“Even if I just stay at home, monsters might invade. A lot of people could die because of that.”

“But if I can make up my mind and go out, everyone might see hope, or at least get a step closer to it. At the very least, no one will get hurt because of me.”

“For the sake of my mom, for the city, for the future of all humanity… I know all those big truths, and I know which choice is absolutely right.”

Her voice was so light it nearly melted into the moist sea breeze: “Of course I know that.”

“But… being scared is just being scared.”

The girl’s green eyes reflected the sunset, “Knowing something is ‘right’ doesn’t mean you won’t be afraid.”

“When I first heard about this, I was really terrified. I couldn’t move from fear.”

“I was so afraid I’d never be able to take photos again, never taste my mom’s cooking again, never go to school again…”

“I was so afraid of ending up like those seniors, dying alone somewhere where no one would know.”

“And actually, I can feel it.”

“The Forest Pixie, the Blast Maul, Shadow Blade, those seniors we saw today—even Senior Amber and the Phoenix…”

Su Fang lowered her head: “It seems the others aren’t particularly enthusiastic about the existence of the Prophecy Maiden.”

—It was as if they didn’t place much expectation on her.

Or rather, they no longer had much hope of gathering all the Fragments of Hope.

When she said that, the air fell into a brief silence, with only the sound of wind and waves echoing in their ears.

Airwen remained silent.

Lin Guang showed no intention of speaking either.

Then, at that moment, Su Fang suddenly turned around, and an unexpected smile blossomed on her delicate face, like a bright streak breaking through clouds at dusk.

“But now, I don’t feel so scared anymore.”

Su Fang’s gaze gently landed on the two in front of her, “Because I realized there are people like me.”

The silver-haired girl’s indifferent eyes widened a bit.

Lin Guang was momentarily stunned.

Because at that moment, Su Fang had already taken her slender hand.

Two soft hands overlapped.

Su Fang’s hand was cool, slightly sweaty, but from the position of the palm Lin Guang could feel a warm intent passing through.

“Senior Mengmengxiang.”

Su Fang looked toward Lin Guang with that signature sunny smile.

“Even if I don’t go, you’ll definitely go into the Outer Realm, right?”

“Because no matter what setbacks you face, no matter how gravely you’re injured or how much you forget, Senior Mengmengxiang always rushes out again and again to find the Fragments of Hope.”

“………”

Lin Guang’s cherry-red eyes watched her seriously, and she nodded without hesitation.

This visit to the Association had already resolved many of her doubts about this world.

And at this moment, the true objective for this S-rank trial seemed to surface clearly.

—Collect the Fragments of Hope and completely repel the Abyss.

So no matter what, in the time ahead, the existence of Magical Girl Mengmengxiang would never remain confined to Kazenari Town; she would repeatedly charge into the Outer Realm.

Su Fang squeezed Lin Guang’s soft hand: “You’re really a worry, Senior.”

Then she turned her gaze to Airwen beside them and took her hand as well.

“Senior Airwen is the same, right?”

The silver-haired girl in the suit was slightly taken aback.

“When almost everyone else gave up, you chose to become an Outer Realm Investigator—there must be some reason you can’t let go.”

Su Fang looked at Airwen’s almost expressionless face, her black eyes fixed on her.

This senior’s uncanny familiarity with paths beyond the Sacred Tree still seemed vivid.

How many times had she gone out to explore alone? What memories did that prison-like room at Association headquarters hold for Airwen?

Su Fang didn’t know, but she had at least understood one thing.

“So, at the very least, even at my most desperate, I won’t be completely alone.”

Su Fang turned to face the sunset and the two she had taken by the hand.

“I’m truly glad.” Su Fang looked at Lin Guang and Airwen with clear eyes, “After becoming a magical girl, the first people I met were seniors.”

The sunset slanted into her pupils, flashing an indescribable resolve.

“The Abyss is terrifying.”

“But if I can always be with my seniors, then it’s not terrifying.”

“So…”

She took a deep breath and gave her final answer.

“I still want to be a magical girl.”

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Lin Guang watched her, and Airwen’s black eyes finally showed a visible ripple.

“………”

The silver-haired girl closed her eyes and opened them five seconds later, speaking quietly.

“Let’s go home.”

“…?”

She let go of Su Fang’s hand and turned toward the car, “At this hour your mother should have finished cooking and be waiting, right?”

“Eh? How did you know that, Senior? And is there really still time…”

“One thing at a time.”

Airwen in her black suit murmured.

She opened the car door and sat inside: “Eat well and sleep well, so you can better face the challenges ahead, right?”

“…That actually makes a lot of sense!”

The three of them got back into the car.

Under the sunset, the black car drove back into the city.

Su Fang’s voice sounded in the vehicle.

“By the way, Senior Mengmengxiang wasn’t this strong before, right?”

“After losing her memory, suddenly becoming this powerful and appearing in the Misty Forest—maybe… actually Senior Mengmengxiang is the real Prophecy Maiden?”

Airwen, who was driving, hesitated for a moment at those words, then finally replied: “If the Prophecy Maiden awakened and after two and a half years is only at this level…”

“I don’t want to be rude, but if that were true, the Sacred Tree and humanity would probably have no hope.”

“……”

The next moment, a blazing red light flashed through the car.

“Senior Mengmengxiang, don’t be mad! Don’t be mad! Calm down!!”

“Don’t transform in the car!!”
