My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

"………"

Meeting her cherry-red eyes, the silver-haired girl fell silent for a moment before finally speaking: "As for me, I'm about the same as those two."

Lin Guang stared at her for a few seconds before eventually nodding.

This delicate atmosphere seemed to stir something in the three girls nearby, who had been somewhat sluggish from fatigue.

But before they could catch on, Lin Guang's next question immediately grabbed everyone's attention.

"So in your plan, how should we get stronger quickly?"

Su Fang was a bit stunned: "Huh? Didn't you say we still needed a few days of training?"

"But a few days of training is obviously not enough." Lin Guang looked at Airwen and said calmly, "You mentioned that the Fragments of Hope are almost all guarded by powerful monsters."

"With our current strength, can we defeat a true full-power Nightmare Seed?"

Tang Keren looked at Lin Guang, her pretty face showing a complex expression: "Now you know not to mess with monsters you shouldn't? Why didn't you think that through before?"

She scolded Lin Guang a few times, then turned serious, puffing up her chest to answer on Airwen's behalf: "Let me make it clear to you, you clueless idiot."

That idol-like beautiful face suddenly turned cold:

"——Of course not."

"………"

She sat up straight, crossed her long, black-stockinged legs, took a deep breath, and her expression became extremely grave: "Even if all five of us gathered together, if we ran into a proper low-level Nightmare Seed, just escaping unscathed would count as a success."

Zihan also spoke, her voice laced with indescribable fear: "Last time, Tangtang and I… almost stepped into a Nightmare Seed's territory… we really almost died…"

Tang Keren couldn't help but fall silent for a moment, clearly still scarred by that incident: "If you hadn't charged in faster than anyone after transforming, how could that have happened?"

"S-Sorry…"

Tang Keren looked at Lin Guang and Su Fang: "The two Nightmare Seeds we took down in the domain yesterday had their power suppressed to less than thirty percent. Not to mention, in the Outer Realm, Nightmare Seeds are usually the monster lords of an entire area, and they basically never fight alone."

The more Su Fang listened, the colder her heart grew: "Huh?"

——So if the monsters guarding the Fragments of Hope were Nightmare Seeds, then…

"That's why she asked that question."

Tang Keren looked at Lin Guang: "But as for this… I do know."

"If there really was no hope, there's no way I'd agree to go out and die."

A mysterious smile crept across her lips: "Normally, magic power grows through constant transformations, using abilities, and natural increase over time. There's basically no shortcut."

"Growing to our limits over time basically means we've grown up, can't leave the Sacred Tree's domain, and graduate from being Outer Realm Investigators."

Tang Keren smiled gently and blinked: "But… that's under normal circumstances."

"If you want to boost your strength quickly in a short time, there's actually another way."

"And that's finding the Fragments of Hope. This is even recorded in the biographies of previous magical girls!"

"Huh?!"

Su Fang and Lin Guang both widened their eyes.

Airwen took over the conversation: "Because the Fragments of Hope are part of the Sacred Tree's power."

"Since the Sacred Tree's power can give birth to magical girls, it can naturally strengthen them too."

"Though normally, the Sacred Tree wouldn't do this, because it's still an equivalent exchange. Using power to strengthen active magical girls would reduce the chance of new magical girls awakening in Kazenari Town in the future, and could even completely cut off hope."

"But… if you can find the Fragments of Hope, then it's different."

Tang Keren's eyes sparkled with excitement: "After finding a Fragment of Hope, the Sacred Tree, with part of its power restored, will grant a blessing. That power directly cleanses a magical girl's body, greatly raising her magic power level, and even improving her familiarity and control over her abilities."

"In history, many of those famous previous magical girls who could fight Nightmare Seeds and even defeat them did it this way."

"Of course, this boost has its limits, depending on the magical girl's own potential."

Tang Keren wore a dreamy smile: "They say that once magic power reaches a certain level, you can touch the true essence of being a magical girl… and become a truly shining magical girl idol!"

"I've been running around the Outer Realm searching for Fragments of Hope all this time just for this goal… now I can finally see the dawn…"

Lin Guang's eyes flickered.

The true essence?

What was that?

Lin Guang quickly organized this information in his mind, reached a conclusion, and looked at Airwen: "I see."

"I understand the plan now."

"Start by killing weak demon beasts, reclaim the Fragments of Hope, use the blessings to boost ourselves, get stronger, then go kill the next demon beast. Snowball into rapid growth."

"This way, we can end all this as soon as possible."

Su Fang's mouth hung slightly open, feeling like she'd been knocked unconscious by the information overload.

Airwen nodded: "Exactly."

"From what we've seen, this is the only viable plan."

She stood up: "But that's after we've trained together properly."

"Everyone should rest early today."

After a pause, she added: "Also, wake up at six tomorrow morning. We leave at six-thirty sharp for the Outer Realm to continue training."

"Eek—!"

"You really want me dead, don't you!"

…………

Night.

Third floor, personal bedroom.

After washing up, the cherry-haired girl stepped out of the attached bathroom.

She stood by the bed, slipping lace-trimmed underwear piece by piece onto her slender, beautiful body, and finally wrapped herself in a cute, fluffy nightgown.

Click.

The lights went dark.

Dressed in Su Fang's pajamas with the sanitary pad properly affixed, Lin Guang lay on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling.

——Today, she could finally bathe on her own without showing anyone her special CG. She had to admit, it was so much more comfortable.

Fatigue gradually crept in, but it didn't stop the information she'd received all day from swirling through her mind, being analyzed down to the last detail, and then etched into memory.

It seemed that after gaining the Precision Operation Engine and Soul Link, Lin Guang felt her memory had greatly improved.

As long as she didn't want to, she wouldn't forget a thing.

Otherwise, staying too long in this trial mission that was essentially another real world, she couldn't be sure she wouldn't slowly forget her true purpose and identity.

"………"

But at that moment, Lin Guang tilted her head, catching something.

Footsteps approached step by step, finally stopping outside her door and gently knocking.

Su Fang's voice came through: "Senior Mengmengxiang."

"I… I can't sleep… Can I sleep with you again tonight?"

"I'll be very quiet, I won't disturb your rest…"

"…………"

A moment later.

Watching the petite girl clinging to her like a little octopus, clearly much more at ease, already asleep from sheer exhaustion, Lin Guang let out a heartfelt sigh.

Magical girls and whatnot… such a pain.
