My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

The next day.

Inside Su Fang's home.

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, spilling across the dining table, while the air was thick with the aroma of fried eggs and toasted bread.

A television was still on nearby, broadcasting the morning news.

“…Yesterday afternoon, two giant demon beasts that appeared in the city were successfully repelled. Reports indicate that the attack caused no serious casualties…”

A nagging voice echoed from the entrance: “Did you pack everything? Changes of clothes, underwear, socks, and bug spray—there are lots of insects in the mountains, so make sure you have enough.”

Lin Guang and Su Fang stood by the door, luggage in hand, while Su Fang's mother, Mogong Ma, followed behind them with a worried expression, her stream of reminders never ceasing.

Su Fang dragged her suitcase with a hint of exasperation: “Mom, I'm already grown up, of course I know…”

“Know what? Last time you went on a spring outing, you still managed to lose your water bottle.” Mogong Ma gave her daughter a light glare before shoving a box of ibuprofen into the Cherry-Haired Girl's hands.

“Mengmengxiang, you need to keep warm these few days and don't eat anything cold. I bought this medicine this morning—if your stomach hurts badly, take one. It'll ease the pain.”

Staring at the medicine bottle, the Cherry-Haired Girl's expression seemed to stiffen for a moment before she obediently nodded: “…Thank you, Auntie.”

Mogong Ma turned back to her own daughter, lightly poking her forehead: “Take good care of Mengmengxiang on the road. Don't just run wild—she's on her period now, and her body's not comfortable. Everything's inconvenient.”

“Okay—”

The next moment, she leaned close to her daughter's ear, whispering in a tone she was sure Lin Guang couldn't hear: “She lost her memory, so she's already insecure. Don't go doing anything weird with her, got it?”

“I know! When have I ever done anything weird?”

Lin Guang: “…”

Really, never?

Then why did she insist on dragging him into the shower with her last night even though she said she could wash alone, and then force him to change her sanitary pad?

As if she'd had enough of the fuss, Su Fang pushed the door open, ready to step out.

But her movement suddenly froze.

Under the Cherry-Haired Girl's silent gaze, Su Fang abruptly turned around and gave her mother a tight hug.

“Mom, I'm off!”

Mogong Ma paused for a moment, then patted her daughter's back with a gentle smile: “Alright, alright. Safe travels, take care.”

With that, Su Fang took Lin Guang's hand and walked out the door into the bright, sunny morning.

……………

The morning market street was far from deserted, as if yesterday's disaster had never happened—perhaps the residents here were already used to a life where monsters could invade at any moment.

“The Association's really impressive! To help cover up our Outer Realm Investigator work, they actually made up this whole ‘Field Training Summer Camp’ excuse, even with the Education Bureau's official stamp!”

“I saw Senior Airwen's message yesterday—it's not just our Jieyou Middle School; all schools are doing this!”

“The Association's so powerful! This way, Mom won't bother me wherever I go this month!”

Su Fang held Lin Guang's hand, her smile as sunny as ever as she watched the flow of people and vehicles on the street.

“…”

“Ah, Senior Airwen's here!”

The next moment, that familiar black sedan pulled up with perfect timing at the intersection before them.

The trunk popped open, and the window rolled down, revealing the silver-haired girl in the driver's seat, wearing sunglasses.

She had changed back into the sharp jacket and tank top from their first meeting, her jeans ending at mid-thigh, revealing her snow-white, jade-like long legs in full view.

She tilted her head at the two by the roadside, her high ponytail swaying slightly.

“Get in.”

The two tossed their hiking backpacks into the trunk and slipped into the back seats.

The moment the car door closed, that atmosphere called “everyday life” was completely sealed off beyond the window.

Su Fang's smile gradually faded. Her right hand, holding Lin Guang's left, showed no sign of letting go—in fact, she was gripping it tighter and tighter, a faint dampness of sweat seeping through.

—This so-called summer camp… was obviously just a front.

Starting today, what awaited them was real training, along with a long journey to find those so-called “Fragments of Hope.”

And this time, the car headed straight for the edge of the city.

Driving out of the bustling streets, they followed a rising suburban road, soon crossing Kannabi Bridge before heading into the mountains.

The weather was especially good today. Bright, brilliant sunlight filtered through the leaves of the trees, casting dappled shadows on the asphalt road that had been mysteriously built into the mountains.

Lin Guang still remembered…

Hadn't Airwen driven her motorcycle to take him and Su Fang back to Kazenari Town, going in this same direction?

“You're thinking right. Following this road is the shortest route to the Outer Realm… but we're not going that way today.”

As she spoke, Airwen yanked the steering wheel, and the car swerved onto a side road.

“We're gathering at the ‘Outpost.’”

Airwen glanced at Lin Guang's cherry-blossom-colored eyes through the rearview mirror and said, “You've probably forgotten, but that's the departure point for Outer Realm Investigators before they head out.”

“By the way, the other two team members should also be on their way.”

The car drove along a specially maintained road through the forest. About ten minutes later, a somewhat out-of-place multi-story apartment building finally came into view.

“We're here.”

Airwen parked and killed the engine, stopping in an open area.

She opened the door, grabbed her sword, and got out, explaining as she did:

“This was a safe house built during the era of the Third Generation Magical Girls. Its original purpose was for intensive training and responding to Abyss invasions. Later, it gradually became the last stop for us Outer Realm Investigators before we set out—you can rest up a bit here.”

At that moment, the fresh mountain air hit them.

Su Fang took a deep breath and looked up.

The apartment really did look nice. It was three stories tall, with clean windows and not even a speck of dust on the window sills, standing out starkly against the surrounding weeds.

A gentle breeze blew, rustling the lush green forest nearby, and the sea of verdant foliage was a delight to the eyes.

But Lin Guang's gaze swept past these beautiful sights, landing on the roadside not far ahead.

A smooth, oval stone lay there, completely ordinary in appearance.

Yet in Lin Guang's magical perception, that stone was emitting an extremely faint but unmistakable wavelength, like a silent warning sign, standing out from the surrounding environment.

Noticing Lin Guang's attention, Airwen nodded: “That's right. That stone is a landmark. Step past it, and ten meters further is the Outer Realm… Hmm, looks like the other two haven't arrived yet.”

Airwen checked her watch: “We're a bit earlier than expected.”

At the mention of this, Su Fang, who had been somewhat subdued, suddenly had her eyes light up: “Two new seniors!”

“Speaking of which, what are the seniors actually like in real life…”

Almost as soon as the words left her mouth, the three of them heard something and turned around.
