Chapter 249: Invitation to stay, the face of the witch

August 17th, early morning.

As always, it is the long-closed primary school on Yandai Commercial Street, the teaching building closest to the playground, on the fifth floor from the bottom, in a narrow and empty corridor.

At this time, a girl in a Gothic dress was leaning against the wall. She hugged her shoulders, tilted her clear face slightly, and looked sideways at the slowly turning Ferris wheel in the distance, silently.

The morning light was dappled, covering her pretty face. The amusement park next to the school was bustling with noise, forming a sharp contrast with the deserted school.

After a while, the girl in the Gothic skirt slowly withdrew her gaze from the window and lowered her head. The gray ribbon above her head swayed lightly in the cool morning breeze.

She thought to herself, "Little Red Riding Hood was actually attacked by a witch... I wish it was fake."

Not long after, the girl heard footsteps not far away. She tilted her head slightly and glanced at the two girls and a contracted beast walking out of the corridor entrance.

She glanced at Shi Naian, then glanced at Little Red Riding Hood from the side and said, "Did you really catch her?"

"This is the strength of our Little Red Riding Hood." Kobe said, looking a little proud for some reason.

Schnaian hung his head and looked at the owl in his arms with resentment.

"Who are you with?"

Shi Naian said gloomily, then slowly raised his head and said dejectedly, "Senior, there is something I have to report: Little Red Riding Hood threatened me with fireball magic, saying that if I didn't come to the meeting, she would use fireball magic to burn down my villa."

The girl in the gothic skirt disagreed: "Oh, very much her style."

"Senior, don't you really think she's going too far?" Shi Naian asked unhappily.

She began to think that these magical girls were indeed crazy and the world was a huge conspiracy theory. It was not too late to join the witch camp and turn to the light, but how to make those witches notice her existence was still a matter to be discussed.

After all, considering Kobe's IQ, the advice it gave was totally useless, so Snyder had to fend for himself and wait for the right opportunity.

"That's not true..." Little Red Riding Hood said expressionlessly, "It's just that in order to achieve the goal, sometimes we have to take some extreme measures. When we, a homeless little girl, fight with the puppy for food and drink, we naturally develop this kind of thinking. A little girl who grew up in a big villa by the sea will never understand our thinking."

Shi Naian said sarcastically: "Oh... We, the children who grew up in a beach villa, will not break into private houses and threaten others with fireballs. I'm really sorry."

Magical Girl Ashes hugged her chest and sighed softly, tapping her arm with her slender index finger. "Okay, my three masters are here. If you want to argue, do it in front of them."

"Three masters...?"

Schnaian asked curiously. She had heard from Little Red Riding Hood that Ashes' three masters were the three giants of the Magical Girls League, the British representative: Lilai, the Russian representative: Utena, and the Chinese representative: Xiziyue.

Among these three people standing at the top of the world, she had only met Xiziyue. The other two had not appeared in the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance in this month. Perhaps it was because the affairs of the Revolutionary Alliance branch that they were directly responsible for were busy.

Shi Naian thought for a moment and asked, "Why did Senior Hui Jin's three masters come here? Is the content of this meeting important?"

"It's so hot!" said the owl, "It's worth it for me to meet the Big Three in my life!"

"Kobe, could you be more courageous?"

Shi Naian murmured. To be honest, every day of this month, she had the urge to slap her mentally retarded contracted beast to death a hundred times, but when she thought about the fact that she would lose the power of a magical girl, she had to endure it.

Thinking of the three giants she saw on the Internet, her cheeks flushed slightly. She thought that if she could tie up such powerful and noble beings with glowing tentacles and make them do unspeakable things, then being a double agent would be worth it.

As she thought of this, a line of blood flowed down from Schnaian's nose. She quickly raised her hand to cover her nostrils, and then while Little Red Riding Hood and Ashes were not paying attention, she lifted Kobe's round head and quickly wiped the blood.

"Hey, why does my head feel wet?" The owl raised his head and asked in confusion.

"The weather is quite humid." Shi Naian sniffed and said lightly.

"I see."

The owl nodded, looked at the bright sky outside the window, and thought to himself, how could it be damp here?

The three people and the beast walked forward along the empty corridor. The morning breeze blew gently, and the tuft of red feathers on the owl's head swayed slightly.

After a while, the girl in the gothic skirt who was walking in the front said slowly without turning her head: "Why did my three masters come here? You should ask the one wearing a red hat next to you. She said that she was chased by a witch last night... Do you understand how big a deal this is? She actually mentioned it so calmly in a text message."

At this point, she stopped, tilted her fair face, and cast a glance at Little Red Riding Hood from the corner of her eye, "Are you sure it's not your hallucination, or are you lying like usual?"

"Of course not." Little Red Riding Hood shook her head and said calmly, "Although I like to lie, I won't joke about such an important matter. Senior, you have wronged me."

Shi Naian looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought that this was the time to show off his acting skills and finally he could implement the essence of a double agent.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'm more curious, what does that witch look like?"

Hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood took out a folded piece of drawing paper from the pocket of her Christmas dress and slowly spread it out.

“It looks like this,” she said.

The other two people and the beast simultaneously looked at the drawing paper in Little Red Riding Hood's hand. On the drawing was a girl wearing a beret and a dark purple dress, holding a whip-shaped wand. There was a line of ink-splashed marks at the corner of her eye, and her face was as pale as a piece of paper.

Magical girl Ash looked at the figure on the drawing paper, frowned slightly, and looked half-believing and half-doubting;

The other two were sweating profusely. Kobe and Shi Naian looked at each other silently. Kobe's eyes seemed to say, "Don't panic, Shi Naian. If you reveal your flaws at this time, we'll be finished."

Shi Naian's lazy eyes said, "It's okay. At worst, I'll just die in front of them."

Huijin was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and took a deep breath: "That's it, let me let my masters take a look and see if they are impressed by the witch you drew."

"Is it possible that she is a witch who has only recently appeared? Her power is not very strong." Little Red Riding Hood said.

"Indeed, since she let you escape, it seems that she is definitely not a ruthless person."

"Of course, it's also possible that she let me run away on purpose. I thought about it for a moment, and with the speed she was running at that time, it was more than enough for her to catch up with me. But for some reason she suddenly stopped. Otherwise, I might not be here now."

The girl in the gothic skirt lowered her head and her eyes flickered. She suddenly raised her finger and pointed at the tip of Little Red Riding Hood's nose, "Why don't you come live in my house for the next period of time? I can protect you this way."

"...Senior, are you serious?" Little Red Riding Hood was stunned.

"It's not a good or bad thing. This is safer. Or you can go to New York with my master chef. In short, don't wander around the city alone. If the same thing happens again, no one can guarantee your safety..."

The girl in the Gothic skirt hugged her shoulders and tried to speak calmly, but one could tell from her words that she was anxious and uneasy.

"Then I'll see what the situation is. If necessary, I can stay at my senior's house for a while." Little Red Riding Hood said softly, thinking that if she really had to stay at Bo Ke's house for a while as You Minglu, then the main problem would be to think about how to avoid her elder sister's sharp eyes.

Of course it wouldn't work if she just tried her luck. Once Bai Qiuwu activated her Fiery Eyes at home, her identity would be easily exposed.

Like before, wearing a human face mask, relying on high collars and long sleeves to wrap the whole body tightly, it is only a temporary solution after all. Besides, wearing such heavy clothes in summer is easy to arouse suspicion. Although there are weirdos like Ke Yinzhi in the family who also like to wear strange clothes that go against the season, she can't explain why she wears like this. If asked by her father and mother, she will be speechless. She can't tell them that she is a magical girl with snow magic, so she can feel the cold more easily than ordinary people...

"Oh yeah...if I wrap a layer of artificial skin on my skin and put on a human face mask, I can avoid being seen through by the Fiery Eyes." Little Red Riding Hood suddenly thought, "But can Anti-Dog find someone to do this? With his connections, it shouldn't be difficult."

As she was thinking, Kobe in Shi Naian's arms suddenly said excitedly: "Teacher Hui Jin, our Shi Naian said she wants to live in your house too. Why don't you take her with you? Our weak and pitiful Shi Naian also needs Teacher Hui Jin's care. It would be so pitiful if she gets targeted by the witch."

"Ha..." Schneian's face suddenly fell, and he looked down at Kobe, "Can you please stop making a scene? It's not good for me to live in my big villa. Do I have to go to someone else's house and squeeze in with them?"

Magical girl Hui Jin thought about it, nodded slightly, and said to Kobe: "It's not impossible, but..." Kobe interrupted her and suggested: "It's okay, even if there is no vacant room in Teacher Hui Jin's house, our Schnaian can sleep on the sofa."

Shi Naian was silent for two seconds, then said dejectedly, "Let me make it clear first, I will never sleep on the sofa."

"What's wrong with sleeping on the sofa?" Little Red Riding Hood looked gloomy. "You probably haven't experienced the feeling of sleeping on a public wooden chair while wandering the streets. It's true that a little girl who grew up with garbage in her mouth and a little girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth can't live under the same roof. Even sleeping on the sofa will be looked down upon... The world is really going downhill."

"Then you sleep on the sofa." Shi Naian turned his head to look at her.

"Yes," Little Red Riding Hood whispered, "this is what we poor children deserve."

"Can you guys stop making a fuss?" Hui Jin held his forehead and sighed, "My eldest brother and second brother went back to college a few days ago. Their rooms are now vacated, just enough for you two to stay. You don't have to sleep on the couch!"

She paused and changed the subject: "But..."

"but what?"

The owl tilted its head and stared at her with its clear eyes.

Ashes stared at the not-so-smart owl and spoke seriously, "First of all, when you are at my house, you are not allowed to show up casually. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if my family finds you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

The owl raised its wings and tilted them over its head, speaking with a serious expression.

"Then it's settled. You two will stay at my house for a while." Ashes said, looking sideways at Little Red Riding Hood, "Do you have any objections?"

"Senior, let me think about it," said Little Red Riding Hood. "Maybe I will stay at your house in a couple of days."

She paused, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "But senior, don't you want me and your brother to get too close..."

The girl in the Gothic skirt was slightly stunned, then her cheeks flushed, and she frowned, almost word by word, scolding: "I never said that, I just don't want you two to get too close, otherwise I will have high blood pressure."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Shi Naian asked curiously, "Does Senior Hui Jin have a brother?"

Kobe was suddenly startled, and suddenly remembered that day when Ke Mingye, Fanquan, Orange Peel and others went to Luodehua Commercial Street to play a copy, they happened to meet Shi Naian who was drinking milk tea in the milk tea shop.

Besides, Ke Mingye and Shi Naian looked at each other through the glass wall.

If Shi Naian knew that the young man who looked at her for two or three seconds that day was actually Huijin's brother, she might become suspicious and start paying attention to Ke Mingye's behavior at home, which would be troublesome.

"It's not a big deal. With Schneian's memory, he might have forgotten about it." Kobe comforted himself silently in his heart, "But two gamers and three magical girls living under the same roof, this is too crazy."

"Forget it... Let's talk about these things after the meeting. It depends on my master's arrangements."

Magical Girl Ash whispered, turned around, and continued walking forward. Not long after, she turned around and walked into a classroom marked "Grade 3 Class C".

Seeing this, Schnaian paused, turned his head, and glanced through the window at the three graceful and noble figures sitting at the conference table.

She covered her chest and closed her eyes to calm down for a while, stopping her nosebleed, and then slowly walked into the classroom.

Normally, a new magical girl like Schnaian is unlikely to be asked to attend important meetings.

But after being certified by Xiziyue, it was found that Shi Naian's talent was amazing, and she was at the same level as Ashes and Little Red Riding Hood. She was undoubtedly a good seedling, so she was always invited to meetings. Although the Chinese Magical Girls League branch is currently in a period of transition, this does not mean that she expects Shi Naian and Little Red Riding Hood to become so strong within a year that they can become an important force in the League. After all, the comet will arrive in a year, and it is difficult to improve the strength much in just one year. No matter how talented a magical girl is, if she awakens the comet fragments in her body at this point in time, it can only be said that she was born at the wrong time.

Therefore, Xiziyue asked Shi Naian to attend the meeting because any magical girl with extraordinary talent would be targeted by the witch. It was necessary to be careful about everything and let them know some relevant matters during the meeting.

After entering the classroom, Shi Naian looked up and the superhuman panels of the three figures appeared in his eyes.

She first looked at the noble figure with bright red hair draped behind his head.

Utena was wearing a magical costume that resembled a knight's uniform. The upper body was heavy knight armor, and the lower body was a dark red skirt that reached the heels.

Her face is neutral and handsome, with an undisguised heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Her eyes are sharp and captivating.

[Name: Utena]

[Age: 19 years old]

【Gender: Female】

[Strength: A+ level (possessing top combat power far exceeding 90% of superhumans in the world)]

[Identity: Magical Girl Utena (a magical girl from Russia, currently one of the three leaders of the Magical Girls' Alliance. She is the owner of a rare "mutated magic wand". The prototype of her magic wand is a sword handle. When magic power is injected, the sword handle will turn into a blazing lightsaber. When it is at its most powerful, it can melt a tall building in an instant.)]

"What Knight King?"

Shi Naian thought casually, then moved his eyes and quietly glanced at the figure sitting on the far right of the conference table, with his chin supported by one hand, and his head down flipping through a classical English book.

Lily's slender body was wrapped in a blue and silver British-style dress, exuding an elegant temperament.

She had a head of light golden hair that was almost silver, and it shone coldly in the morning light, as pure as the snow falling on the glacier. Her face was simple but extraordinary, with a touch of a classical beauty. Her ice-blue eyes were especially mysterious and deep, like the lake water under the ice, revealing a sense of distance that was difficult to approach.

[Name: Lilai]

[Age: 18 years old]

【Gender: Female】

[Strength: A+ level (possessing top combat power far exceeding 90% of superhumans in the world)]

[Identity: Magical Girl Lilai (a magical girl from the UK, currently one of the three leaders of the Magical Girls Alliance. She is the only user of "ice" magic cards in the world. She is the only one who has the power to create and control ice cards, so she has the nickname "Ice Witch")]

At this moment, Lilai lowered her head and flipped through the ancient book. Without raising her head, she slowly asked, "Is it this magical girl codenamed 'Little Red Riding Hood' who was attacked by the witch last night?"

Little Red Riding Hood nodded: "Yes, I drew the witch's appearance."

Lilai closed the ancient book, raised her ice-blue eyes, and pierced Little Red Riding Hood with a look like ice spikes.

"Then please take it out and let me see it." She said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Schneian immediately realized that this meeting was likely to be disastrous, so he lowered his head and looked at the owl in his arms, exchanging glances with it.

Kobe raised his head, the feathers on his forehead were already wet with cold sweat.

Its eyes seemed to say, "Lao Shi, will you win?"

Shi Naian's eyes seemed to say, "You'll win, right?"
