Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 392 Xiao Xiao

Chapter 392 Xiao Xiao

"These guys are absolutely despicable!"

After leaving the exhibition hall and finding a secluded corner, the ferret Nuomi complained angrily.

"It was one thing for them to steal our prey before, but now they've stopped pretending altogether, crossed the river to our territory, and just took our spoils right in front of us!"

As he spoke, the ferret looked at the girl who had already deactivated her transformation.

"Xiao Xiao, I know you don't care about these things, but this is going too far. This time we must report it to Minister Xue no matter what. If this continues, we won't get anything, let alone get you a new weapon."

"It's nothing, it's just a fragment of a shadow. Let them have it." Xiao Xiao, having deactivated her transformation, revealed her original form.

If she is a magical girl in a little dress after transforming, then her clothes after de-transforming are even more gorgeous than a magical girl's battle suit. If anyone saw her at this moment, they would definitely shout "Water Goddess!"

"What do you mean, 'just a shadow fragment'?!" The ferret Nuomi jumped three feet high. "Do you know how rare this thing is? The shadow fragments that the Shadow Clan usually carry are only the size of a grain of rice, and they're full of impurities. Look at the one she took today, it's as big as a pigeon egg!"

As she spoke, Nuomi walked up to Xiao Xiao again, her tone softening. "My dear Miss Xiao, why don't you think about yourself at all? This world is dangerous. To survive, you must possess power greater than others."

"You always say it's dangerous, but there's always a dangerous moment in life." Xiao Xiao squatted down and patted the ferret's head. "The Red Tide and the others collect Shadow Fragments to increase their combat power, so no matter what, it's a sign that our combat strength has been enhanced."

"But..."

"Alright, I know you mean well, but don't forget, my second brother has already become a four-star agent. If I follow his lead, getting me a weapon prototype won't be difficult."

"But I'm really annoyed," said the ferret glutinous rice, puffing up its cheeks. "Is it because she doesn't want to join their team that she's targeting us like this? No, it's not just that, she's definitely taking her anger out on us because of your second brother."

"It's not as outrageous as you think. What does my second brother's affair have to do with us? Besides, the rule that agents can't date magical girls is a regulation from above, not one we made."

"That's hard to say. Your second brother has been avoiding her for a long time. I suspect she's trying to put pressure on your second brother by bullying us, forcing him to go to her on his own initiative."

The more the ferret glutinous rice talked, the more it made sense, and she couldn't help but nod heavily.

"Yes, that must be it!"

"You should read fewer campus romance novels in the future, okay?" Xiao Xiao sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"In the novel you're reading, the male protagonist becomes a girl in the middle of the story. So, according to you, my second brother has to become a girl too?"

Ferret Nuomi's eyes lit up. "You know what, if your second brother turned into a girl, the bureau's regulations might not actually stop them from being together."

"Are you asking for a beating?"

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at him, then sighed softly.

"Where's my second brother? He said he'd wait for me here, but I can't get through to him on the phone. That guy is really..."

"I guess your second brother knew they were coming and hid beforehand?"

On the other side, after settling Xiao Yue, who had fallen into a coma, Tang Zijun rushed to the scene of the shadow monster without stopping.

When he saw that the traces of the war had been transformed into new photo spots, even Tang Zijun couldn't help but twitch her lips.

It's hard to imagine that the anime convention, which had just experienced a monster attack, was completely unaffected. Visitors continued with their own activities, seemingly oblivious to what had just happened.

Only some people who came from other exhibition halls kept asking others about the details of the battle. After listening, they couldn't help but beat their chests and stamp their feet, angry at themselves for not being there at the time.

"Ah... I'm still too late." Shi Yao crossed her arms and shook her head gently.

Shiyao's appearance at this moment is very different from before. Moreover, since she has reached the combat power of an executive, her control over the power of shadow is more obvious. Unless they are very close or actively use the power of shadow, she will not be perceived by magical girls or spirit beasts.

Only the Flower Fairy Clan could sense her presence, but at this time, the Flower Fairy Clan certainly wouldn't report her existence to the Demon Surveillance Bureau.

Hearing Shi Yao's words, Tang Zijun was also a little unsure of what to say. "It's okay to be late, as long as nothing bad has happened."

Just then, two boys approached. "Hey you two, you came from another exhibition hall too, right? Want to take some photos of the Shadow Monster, the kind with unique angles and maximum clarity?"

Tang Zijun turned her head and almost blurted out "Brother Emperor Knight".

One of the boys was dressed normally, while the other was wearing a Decade suit and holding a pink camera—not a prop, but a real Polaroid camera.

"Although we couldn't capture the magical girl, we captured the shadow monster very clearly." Decade chuckled, but he was startled when he saw Tang Zijun's face.

"Wow, man, your suit is amazing quality! You can't see any plastic at all!" he exclaimed, unable to resist touching it. "But which tokusatsu series suit is this? I've never seen it before."

So these two were attracted by their own suits... oops, I mean, by their own armor. No wonder, since the other side was wearing similar suits.

"Since everything's alright here, I'll leave." Shi Yao ignored the two boys and spoke softly to Tang Zijun.

Tang Zijun looked at her. "Don't rush off. Since you're already here, why don't you join us? Tan Zhixin is here too."

A fleeting thought crossed Shi Yao's eyes, but she shook her head. "Forget it, I reckon you won't have time to play here anytime soon. Things are over here, but things outside aren't."

Hearing Shi Yao's pointed words, Tang Zijun knew that the other party was referring to that mysterious android. That thing was not like the Outer Demons and the Shadow Clan. If it really caused trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I'll investigate the origin of that thing for you. Since it's already here, there might be clues elsewhere."

Shi shook her head and turned around.

She paused, then whispered.

"Um... send me a copy of Xin'er's cosplay photos later."

Watching Shi Yao gradually disappear into the crowd, Tang Zijun didn't say anything more.

After all, an attack by the Shadow Clan had occurred here. Although nothing seemed different on the surface, agents from the Bureau of Demonic Investigations had already entered the area and begun to cordon off the area.

Shiyao has abandoned darkness and embraced light, but her identity is still quite delicate. If her whereabouts are exposed, the Bureau of Demonic Investigations is very likely to link Shadow Woman with this incident.

In this situation, staying here is definitely not a good option for her.

After Shi Yao left, Tang Zijun had no intention of staying there, since there was still someone lying outside the exhibition hall.

"Dude, wanna buy? Only 100 yuan for one photo."

"Emperor Brother" was still promoting his product, but Tang Zijun waved his hand.

"Sorry, bro, maybe next time, next time."

After saying that, Tang Zijun turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

Previously, Tang Zijun was worried that the monster would hurt people, so he rushed over while still in his transformed state. Now that everything is alright, he just wants to find a secluded place to de-transform.

Looking in the direction Tang Zijun left, "Emperor Knight" opened his mouth.

"Will this happen again?"

Outside the exhibition hall, Tangcao and others also came out with the crowd.

They had already sensed the presence of the shadowy group when it appeared, but just as they were about to make their move, Katie sensed the presence of several magical girls.

Since someone else was doing the work, they didn't choose to act rashly. The matter was resolved perfectly. With the combined efforts of the four magical girls, the Shadow Clan, who had already been severely damaged by Shiyao, had no ability to resist.

After the matter was over, they originally intended to continue searching for Tang Zijun, but Tan Zhixin sensed Shi Yao's presence at a certain moment, so they hurriedly left the exhibition hall.

"Sister Tan, are you sure your senses are correct?" Qin Nan frowned. "Would Shi Yao be here?"

"I couldn't be sure for even a second, but... even if it wasn't Shi Yao, it could very well be another Shadow Clan." Tan Zhixin frowned slightly. "If there really is some Shadow Clan hiding here, that's a threat to the people here, isn't it?"

"That's true." Qin Nan shrugged upon hearing this. "Then I'll have Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai come over. They can help if there are any enemies."

The group moved quickly and soon arrived at the location that Tan Zhixin had initially sensed.

Since most people's attention was drawn to the exhibition hall, this already sparsely populated corner became even more deserted.

The further they walked, the more solemn everyone's expressions became. If only Tan Zhixin had sensed something was wrong before, now, everyone except Su Siyao had noticed the anomaly.

Tan Zhixin walked at the front, while Qin Nan walked at the back, protecting Katie and Tang Cao, who did not have particularly high combat experience, as well as Su Siyao, who was an ordinary person, in the middle.

After rounding a corner, a motionless robot and a chaotic environment came into view.

In the corner, a stranger lay sprawled on the ground, a trendy toy magazine covering his face.
