My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

"No."

She refused extremely bluntly.

Being your pillow for these ten days was already generous enough. You, a junior, seem to be pushing your luck a bit!

"Oh, how could you be like this..." Su Fang pretended to look a little disappointed, but immediately smiled again, "Well then, senior, all you have to do is smile, okay?"

Setting the timer on the shutter, the girl swiftly darted back into the crowd, hugged Lin Guang tightly, and squeezed in with everyone else.

"Say cheese—!"

Click.

The flash went off, piercing through the morning mist, forcibly seizing this moment from the endless river of time as it cycled.

The photo slowly emerged. Su Fang pinched one corner of the paper and gently shook it.

Tang Keren was flashing a perfect idol smile, beautiful as if she were standing on a stage under the spotlight of thousands.

Zihan shrank her neck, her eyes darting away but not fleeing entirely.

Airwen looked at the camera with a slightly helpless expression, her body turned slightly to the side.

Su Fang smiled brighter than anyone else, her emerald-green eyes reflecting a light called "hope."

But when everyone's gaze focused on the cherry-haired girl at the very center of the photo, even the usually calmest Airwen couldn't help but be a little stunned.

In that moment the photo was taken, she really was smiling.

Only, this smile was different from the firm confidence she had when she began her transformation, or the passion and radiance she showed when it ended.

The cherry-haired girl's lips were merely slightly upturned, curved into a crescent-moon-like arc that one might miss if not paying attention. Yet it felt like one could hear the crisp sound of ice cracking open.

It was an extremely faint but gentle smile.

But as everyone stood there dazed, Lin Guang had already withdrawn her smile, turned around, and strode out past the Landmark, speaking calmly: "Let's go."

Airwen nodded and followed close behind.

"Not a bad shot."

Tang Keren nodded with satisfaction. She turned and followed the two ahead, her skirt swaying gently in the wind, her tone light:

"Let's go! Finish this early and wrap up."

"When we get back, I want to go to that shop next to the Association and have their limited matcha parfait. I heard they only serve fifty portions a day, so if we're late, they'll be gone."

Zihan, following behind, mumbled softly to herself, her voice drifting somewhat in the wind, "...I want a chocolate muffin..."

"Me too! I want the large portion!"

Su Fang carefully tucked the photo, still not fully dried, into the pocket closer to her heart than even that leaf, and shouted back in agreement.

Like a group of high school girls heading to a neighboring town for the weekend, full of youth and vitality, they crossed that boundary line, giggling and chattering.

Their figures vanished in an instant from this world of peace, leaving only the Landmark stone standing there quietly.

This was a journey destined to be lonely.

But at least at this moment, they were still so vibrant and alive, as if by laughing loudly enough, they could dispel all the gloom in this world.

....

A few hours later.

A slender, graceful figure sprinted swiftly and silently through the eternal darkness.

Her footsteps were light and quiet.

"..."

From the moment she stepped out past the Landmark, all Lin Guang saw before her was unchanging black mist and twisted mountain forests—an endless alternation of slopes and descents, retreating infinitely only to reappear endlessly, like a looping corridor.

Only the notably increased density and shifting variety of Claw-types indicated that they were gradually leaving the training range of the past ten days.

Lin Guang lightly touched the ground with the tips of her toes, her crimson-red long hair trailing behind her. Her entire figure moved like a phantom, her speed astonishing.

A magical girl's leg strength in this world was comparable to beings like the horse girls from certain works, those possessed by ninja spirits, or super soldiers injected with nebula body modifications in others.

Not to mention that the light, agile female body was far superior to any cumbersome vehicle when it came to adapting to complex terrain.

This wasn't due to physical strength.

In fact, Lin Guang had specifically tested this during this period. If she intentionally relaxed, this youthful, beautiful young girl's body was as soft, delicate, and incredibly smooth as any other girl her age. Pressing a fingernail into it would leave a red mark instantly—in fact, it was even more tender and perfect than ordinary people.

But when she focused her mind, the surface of her body seemed to be wrapped by something invisible. At least Claw-type level strength was required to break through its defense.

This was a certain force field spontaneously generated by the scorching magic power within her body.

The ten-day special training seemed to have made Lin Guang more attuned to this body. This force field remained effective even without transformation, enhancing all of her abilities.

It seemed to be standard equipment for a qualified magical girl.

At this moment, everyone maintained their transformed state.

Running at the very front of the group, Su Fang held twin guns in her hands, her eyes constantly shimmering with a blue glow, sensing a certain position in the unseen.

Even in such a dark forest, the girl sprinting at the front seemed to be able to see everything along the way without any risk of tripping. Her long cerulean-blue hair flew wildly behind her as she made occasional micro-adjustments to their direction.

Tang Keren's sweet voice sounded gently: "How much further?"

Su Fang responded softly: "Seems like we've passed three-quarters already."

She was clearly a bit surprised: "Three-quarters already? Excluding the rest we took, we've only been running for about eight hours. Has no one come around here?"

"It's not really about the distance itself."

Airwen's voice rang out: "Article 4 of the Outer Realm Investigator's Code."

"The nature of the Abyss cannot be compared with the common sense of the normal world. Even spatial distance in the Outer Realm is 'unstable.'"

"Without Su Fang's guidance, if we were searching blindly on our own, the probability of getting close would be unimaginably low."

"...Hmph, of course, I already knew that. I was just remarking."

The next moment, the usually silent Zihan's voice suddenly chimed in as well.

"There's a group of Claw-types ahead."

A flash of silver light streaked past Lin Guang's side.

Clang—

Bang!

A phantom-like sword light flashed from its sheath, in an instant cutting through the bodies of two Claw-type puppets. Immediately after, a red flame lit a brief glow in the forest, blasting the heads off two more Claw-types.

The five of them only paused briefly before continuing forward.

The initial part of the journey was exceptionally smooth, as the past ten days had intentionally cleared this direction of demon beasts.

But as they ventured deeper, the density of surrounding monsters gradually increased.

To conserve every bit of magic power and stamina, and to avoid drawing the attention of the Abyss, the magical girls adopted an evasion strategy.

They ignored Claw-types unless they were directly in their path.

Occasionally, they encountered a few lower-ranked dangerous species with keen senses that couldn't be avoided, but the group displayed astonishing strength and teamwork. Before the monsters could even make a sound, they had already turned into silent corpses.

As she ran, Lin Guang extinguished the flame on her staff and spoke softly: "There are more demon beasts, but the forest is getting sparser."

Airwen nodded: "The terrain is flattening out."

Everyone's spirits lifted.

It had only been about an hour since they last briefly rested, so they were still full of energy.

This meant they could face the upcoming challenge with nearly their peak strength.
