My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Chapter 98: Your Courage Is No Less Than Anyone's

In her blurry left-eye vision, those cherry-red eyes were staring straight at her.

Zihan's fair little face suddenly flushed with a light pink, but under the flickering orange firelight, it wasn't obvious, and no one seemed to notice.

She wanted to raise a hand, habitually adjusting her glasses, but she couldn't lift it. Her entire body felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion, leaving her almost unable to move.

Finally, Zihan could only speak in a soft voice, "Mm... I'm awake."

Looking at Zihan on his lap, Lin Guang said softly, "How are you feeling?"

Everyone looked over.

Zihan's voice was very quiet, completely lacking her earlier chuunibyou flair, reverting back to that timid girl as she honestly reported her condition:

"I'm not really sure about my physical state."

"It's just... my glasses don't seem to be working right anymore. Everything still looks blurry. I can only make out everyone's outlines, can't even see your facial features clearly... My magic power has also weakened. I feel like it's very hard to mobilize."

The air fell into instant silence.

Su Fang's face suddenly showed some panic: "How could this be... The Sacred Tree's blessing has already descended!"

Just moments ago, the third Sacred Tree fragment had returned to its main body, and everyone had received the blessing again.

They had thought Zihan would recover, but...

Even receiving the Sacred Tree's blessing still couldn't reverse the price of Full Bloom?

She abruptly leaned in closer, carefully examining Zihan's unfocused left eye, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Tang Keren pressed her lips together and lowered her head, as if not wanting anyone to see the glistening tears flickering in her eyes, but her voice came out with a nasal quality: "Idiot, an utterly hopeless idiot."

Sensing the atmosphere becoming unbearably heavy, Zihan quickly waved her hands and explained:

"It's actually fine! I just feel a bit heavy, completely out of strength... But, I don't feel like I'm dying. At least I survived."

"This means the Sacred Tree Lord's blessing was useful!"

"...You really were too reckless."

Airwen, who had been silently sitting across the campfire, suddenly spoke.

Her voice wasn't loud, and her emotions were unreadable, but there was an indescribable complexity to it.

"In that situation just now, if you had failed Full Bloom, you would have absolutely died."

Zihan, however, revealed a shy smile: "Senior Airwen, are you worried about me?"

"..."

"But hey, I did pull it off, didn't I?"

Even though she couldn't see Airwen's face clearly, she still tried her best to face that direction, her eyes showing not a single trace of regret:

"Rather than losing a companion, I'd rather take that risk myself."

"If I hadn't fought with everything back then, everyone would have been in danger."

"At least now... I protected everyone. Everyone is still alive. That's the best possible outcome."

Everyone was silent.

She felt that what she did was right, and even if she had to do it again, she would make the same choice.

Airwen looked at Zihan's pale but smiling face, her dark eyes wavering for a few seconds.

In the end, the silver-haired girl only let out a soft sigh, walked up to Zihan, gently grasped her somewhat cold little hand, and then said seriously, "Thank you."

"No matter what, you saved us."

Zihan's face instantly turned bright red, and she somewhat flusteredly lowered her head.

Airwen turned around and ladled her a bowl of steaming hot fish head tofu vermicelli soup.

In the milky white broth, the tender tofu and crystal-clear vermicelli had soaked up all the savory flavors, emitting an enticing aroma.

Lin Guang naturally took the bowl. He scooped up a spoonful of vermicelli and tofu, blew on it to cool it down, then brought it to Zihan's lips, saying softly:

"Open up."

Hearing that sweet yet calm voice, Zihan, lying on his lap, blushed and obediently opened her mouth to take a bite.

A warm current slid down her throat into her stomach, making her squint her left eye in comfort, and she couldn't help letting out a silly "hehe" laugh.

Tang Keren, watching her silly demeanor, unconsciously rolled her eyes: "Are you an elementary schooler?"

But the next moment, she sighed again and said in a complex tone:

"You're in this state, how can you still laugh?"

Zihan swallowed the food in her mouth, still wearing that soft smile at the corner of her lips: "Because, I'm really happy, you know."

She said softly, a trace of small pride in her tone: "Being able to protect everyone with my own hands, to protect Mengmengxiang... That alone makes me very happy."

Saying this, Zihan used her blurry left eye to look at Lin Guang, who was feeding her.

Even though she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could feel the gentleness behind that silence.

"Actually... I've always envied you."

Her voice softly echoed in the camp, like a gentle sigh:

"I really envy you, you know."

She spoke softly: "No matter whether you've lost your memories or not, there's one thing about you that has never changed."

"It's the courage to always be true to yourself, no matter when or where, and the belief to hold your head high and move forward."

Lin Guang's hand, feeding Zihan, paused slightly.

"You can directly use your own real name as your code name, you can bravely refuse Tangtang's help, you can... calmly accept your own 'weakness' and keep striving forward."

Zihan seemed to have regained a bit of strength, she struggled to raise her hand, touched Lin Guang's soft cheek, and murmured: "I can't do that."

"If I don't borrow the transformation, if I don't hide behind all those exaggerated settings... I can't even speak loudly, let alone express my true thoughts."

The air suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.

"No."

Lin Guang suddenly spoke, his voice very serious, without any hint of flattery.

He reached out, helped the limp Zihan sit up properly in his arms, then scooped up a piece of fish, brought it to her lips, and looked into her light purple eyes, saying each word deliberately:

"You already have enough courage."

"Your courage and conviction are absolutely no less than anyone's."

"Huh?"

Zihan was stunned. She dazedly opened her mouth to eat the fish, her blurry left eye blinking, as if digesting those words.

After several seconds, her cheeks reddened at a visible pace.

"Heh... hehe..."

She lowered her head, burying her face into Lin Guang's slender chest, and started giggling silly again.

Watching Zihan being fed in Lin Guang's arms, contentedly enjoying that thin but warmly fragrant embrace.

The sadness on Tang Keren's face finally faded a little, and she smiled helplessly: "You two are both reckless idiots..."

As she spoke, she suddenly sighed, her golden eyes reflecting the flickering campfire, carrying a hint of disappointment and confusion:

"Sigh, this blessing, I still didn't feel a thing."

"I've gotten stronger, sure. My magic power is practically overflowing, my body can barely contain it, and I still don't feel anything..."
