Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 95 The Price of "Friends"

Chapter 95 The Price of "Friends"

He silently stared at the heretic demon who had been completely killed.

This time, Tangcao's mindset is completely different from before.

If she had treated everything as a game before, after this battle, Tangcao's feelings were no longer excitement and agitation, but rather relief and a desire for power.

The Frogman Outer Path Demon is very powerful, stronger than any Outer Path Demon encountered before.

If I hadn't had the advantage of elemental power, it probably wouldn't have been easy to defeat him.

Moreover, this creature possesses a certain level of intelligence; it can yield, use cunning to disguise itself, and even assess the situation to choose to escape.

This kind of opponent is not only a novel experience for Tangcao, but also a wake-up call for her.

What if I hadn't awakened the ice element? What if this heretic didn't have a weakness to cold? What if I had arrived a moment too late, and the other side had already struck first, killing innocent people?

It was only at this moment that Tangcao realized the weight of these questions.

"Tang Cao, are you alright?"

Seemingly sensing that something was wrong with Tangcao, Xiaobai came over.

"I'm fine." Tang Cao composed herself and smiled. "Why do you ask?"

"You look weird," Xiaobai tilted her head.

"You're not going to say any cheesy pickup lines to me, are you?" Tang Cao stuck out her tongue and bent down to pat Xiao Bai's head.

Feeling Tangcao's warm, soft palm, Xiaobai blinked thoughtfully.

She didn't know what caused the change in Tang Cao, but in a way it was a good thing, at least her "partner" seemed much more reliable.

Just then, the sound of flapping wings rang out.

Tang Cao and Xiao Bai looked back and saw Qin Nan's figure gracefully descend and land steadily on the ground.

"Well done!"

Looking at the melting frost all over the ground, and the scene where the dark crystals had been vaporized and left only as broken pieces, Qin Nan smiled at Tang Cao.

"I was worried that something unexpected might happen to you, but now it seems that you are qualified to enter the industry. Although you are not yet a senior, given time, you will definitely be able to stand on your own."

"Really?" Tang Cao clasped her hands together, her eyes wide.

Killing the heretical demon did not bring Tangcao much joy, but the senior's recognition was a different story.

"Have some confidence in yourself. Many magical girls are so frightened when they encounter a demon that they don't dare to move, and they even forget how to use magic."

Qin Nan patted Tang Cao on the shoulder and chuckled.

"You've already surpassed many others by adjusting in such a short time and using elemental control to kill the heretic demon so skillfully."

Tang Cao chuckled; it felt so good to be praised by her senior.

Then, as if remembering something, she asked in a charmingly coquettish tone.

"By the way, senior, what happened over there? Were you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Nan hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained her smile. "It's nothing, just a bunch of scumbags, I've taken care of them all."

"That's good." Tang Cao smiled, oblivious to Qin Nan's unusual expression. "So, this mission is now complete, right?"

Qin Nan nodded. "The rift in the inner world has been closed, and the heretical demons that descended upon the real world have been completely eradicated, so yes, the mission is complete."

"Phew." Tang Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

After a pause, Qin Nan turned her head to look in the direction of the International Cinema.

"We should go. I heard the movie ending when I arrived, so the moviegoers will probably be leaving soon."

"Okay," Tang Cao replied, then patted her little belly. "I'm a bit hungry, senior, let's go get some barbecue. I know a place nearby that's pretty good."

"No, don't forget that tonight's lesson is about mastering magic formulas. We've already wasted a lot of time dealing with the heretical demons, so there's no time to eat."

"Eh—"

Tang Cao drew out a long note.

"You were already good enough to get started. I told you I'd handle things here, but you insisted on coming along," Qin Nan said, frowning as she stared at Tang Cao.

"Senior, don't worry, I'll definitely be able to gather the magic formula tonight, I promise!"

Tang Cao pouted, making a pitiful face.

Seeing this, Qin Nan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"Fine, since you did a great job on the task, I'll buy you something to eat when I pass by later."

"Yay! I love you so much, senpai~"

Upon hearing this, Tang Cao immediately became happy.

Tang Cao scooped up Xiao Bai in her arms, spun around happily, and ran briskly toward the fire escape.

Watching Tang Cao's retreating figure, Qin Nan's expression slowly hardened, and she sighed softly. Actually, she had just wanted to remind Tang Cao about her magical girl identity.

The latest novel is first published here!

Although she didn't know who Su Siyao was, she could tell from Tang Cao's reaction that Su Siyao must be a very, very important friend to Tang Cao.

but.

For magical girls.

The price we pay for the word "friend" is far too high.

The arrival of this heretical demon can only be described as a coincidence, but what about next time?

If Tang Cao is determined to take this path, then her existence will inevitably be known to the heretics. At that time, everyone around Tang Cao will become a target for the heretics to attack her.

Those guys will show no mercy. In order to defeat the magical girl, the Outer Path Demons will use every means to target and destroy Tangcao, not only physically but also mentally.

In the dictionary of magical girls, friendship is ultimately a luxury. The best choice is to give up everything around them and face all dangers alone.

However, looking at Tang Cao's innocent and carefree face, Qin Nan couldn't bring himself to say what was on the tip of his tongue.

Perhaps Tangcao doesn't need to be like other magical girls; Qin Nan couldn't be sure.

But what she did know was that Tangcao possessed a power that no other magical girl had—she had a brother with terrifying fighting power.

With that person's presence, the Outer Path Demon should have no chance of threatening Tangcao's friends.

Just then, Tangcao's voice came from afar.

"Senior, come quick!"

"oh!"

Qin Nan responded, then quickly suppressed the thoughts in her mind.

Well, let Tang Zijun worry about this. I'm just a private tutor who gets paid to do things.

A single thought arises out of nowhere, and suddenly the world seems vast.

Seeing Tang Cao waving at him, Qin Nan smiled easily again and followed her.

Meanwhile.

In the mirror dimension behind the real world.

Led by Chang Lei, Tang Zijun quickly arrived at the mirror space where the Mechanical Heretic Demon was located.
