My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Tang Keren squinted her eyes in bliss, completely slumping down on her portable chair, looking utterly relaxed.

"I've been thinking about taking this bite ever since we were fighting those monsters... makes all the hard work feel worth it."

As she spoke, her slender legs wrapped in thirty-denier black stockings dangled and swayed in front of everyone, her black leather shoes tapping lightly, showing none of the restraint expected of a top idol.

The white porcelain plate with strawberry cake was held against the idol's noticeably curvy chest, making one wonder if cream might accidentally get on that pink dress.

Meanwhile, Su Fang was savoring her matcha parfait. Even though she could only take small bites because of the cold, that adorable face couldn't help but break into a happy smile.

"Senior Mengmengxiang, this is really delicious. Would you like a taste..."

She held up the matcha parfait like an offering, then turned around, suddenly showing a hint of confusion.

Because in her line of sight.

The senior beside her, who due to amnesia seemed like nothing could ever affect her or make her hesitate, was actually showing an extremely rare look of deep thought, even forgetting to eat the chocolate crepe in her hand.

As soon as those words left her mouth, the other three girls also turned their gazes toward Lin Guang.

Those cherry-red eyes seemed to be staring into the void, almost like she was spacing out.

"..."

Being watched by four people, the cherry-haired girl finally snapped back to reality. Her gaze focused on the matcha parfait Su Fang was holding out. Without any hesitation or politeness, she reached out, grabbed the unused small spoon on the other side of the parfait, scooped up a huge chunk of ice cream, shoved it into her mouth, then took a big bite of the crepe.

She chewed like a hamster, her sweet and calm face puffing in and out as she nodded at Su Fang.

Got to say, the flavor was pretty good.

Su Fang smiled goofily: "Hehe, Senior is really adorable."

At this moment, Lin Guang's usual aloof aura had completely vanished, replaced by a cute dazed look instead.

"Hmph..." Tang Keren couldn't help but laugh either. "I think this isn't amnesia at all—this is a stat reset. You reset your intelligence and social skills into combat and instincts."

"If that were all, it would actually be a good thing. At least you became more useful."

She suddenly sighed: "But the most crucial parts—not listening to people and not valuing your life—haven't changed at all from start to finish."

Zihan beside her also smiled shyly: "I think Mengmengxiang is fine the way she is now..."

As long as there were no strangers around, she could at least manage basic communication in her normal state.

"Don't even start. After you transform, you're exactly the same—don't listen, don't value your life. Having to deal with you two is my misfortune."

"Ugh."

Airwen silently listened to their pointless chatter and closed her eyes again to rest.

Meanwhile, Lin Guang's gaze started to drift again.

Actually, it wasn't that she wasn't focusing—it was that what she was focusing on was invisible to everyone else.

Ever since a moment ago, she had been staring at the system panel.

[Game Character: Mengmengxiang]

[Game Character Abilities: ★Magical Girl Transformation★ (C), Magic Power (E+ → D), Magic Aptitude (D- → D)]

[Comprehensive Rating: (D-) → (D)]

After retrieving the Fragment of Hope and receiving the Sacred Tree's blessing, Lin Guang had been thinking nonstop.

Although the change in Comprehensive Rating was the same as last time—going from D- to D—Lin Guang felt that after receiving the blessing, the magic power inside her body seemed slightly more than during the last trial.

The difference wasn't much, only about 2.37%. It wouldn't significantly affect combat ability, but this small change bothered Lin Guang quite a bit.

What caused it?

Was it related to her real body also gaining magic power?

Or was it a minor deviation caused by optimizing her practice and thinking compared to last time during these ten days of special training?

Or were there other factors?

Lin Guang had absolutely no interest in maintaining so-called "canon events" or avoiding "butterfly effects." The main thing was that being able to get stronger faster was undeniably significant.

If she could understand the secret behind it, she could definitely clear the challenges more effectively.

Su Fang looked at Lin Guang, then suddenly seemed to think of something and spoke again: "Senior Mengmengxiang..."

Lin Guang tilted her head: "?"

The girl brushed her wine-red hair back, couldn't help blinking, and showed an admiring expression on her face: "Even though Senior has amnesia, you're still so reliable."

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the silver-haired girl who was resting with her eyes closed nearby. "I feel like from the very beginning, I've thought Mengmengxiang and Senior Airwen are a bit alike."

"Neither of them show much expression, but both are very reassuring."

Hearing this, the others looked over again.

Zihan nodded, while Tang Keren clicked her tongue, clearly not entirely convinced about Airwen.

But Su Fang did have a point.

If you set aside the differences in appearance and magical girl color schemes, and only looked at the efficient demeanor and words the two had shown these past few days...

That fighting style of facing danger without fear, even willing to sacrifice themselves for others, and that combat technique honed to absolute precision with every move... All of these things somehow made the two seem very similar.

However, Airwen and Lin Guang just listened quietly without making any response.

"Hmm."

Looking at them, Su Fang suddenly paused.

"Come to think of it, Senior Airwen was the earliest among us to become a magical girl. She's very familiar with the Outer Realm too, which probably means she's been on many, many exploration trips outside."

That being the case, she should have plenty of stories to tell. But in these past ten-plus days, Su Fang had never heard her mention any of them, which naturally made her curious.

She thought for a moment, then picked a topic she thought was the safest: "Senior Airwen, what made you become an investigator?"

Under so many pairs of watching eyes, Airwen's black eyes barely flickered.

"..."

She opened her right hand, wearing tactical fingerless gloves, and looked at her own palm, her gaze as calm as a still lake.

"No special reason. No grand philosophy either." She spoke calmly. "I'm just fighting for myself."

"Humanity is meant to be free. We shouldn't be trapped in this birdcage."

She raised her head, looking at the eternal night beyond the barrier.

Countless dim stars were embedded in this night sky, yet they seemed utterly lifeless.

"One day, I will tear down this fake starry sky."

The girls were all stunned.

"Oh... oh..."

Su Fang nodded.

A birdcage?

A fake starry sky?

It didn't seem too hard to understand.

The Sacred Tree's interior was quite large, but compared to the outside world, it really was no different from a birdcage. And the starry sky outside, tainted by the Abyss, had long lost the changes and vitality recorded in the past.

To those with grand ambitions, this would indeed be unbearable.

But... was that really all it meant?
