Chapter 283 Christmas Eve, Sleigh, Little Red Riding Hood's Origin Card
On the afternoon of August 24th, in the second-floor corridor of the Parker family's residence, under the illumination of Halloween pumpkin lanterns, a black cat and an owl were lying on the floor and talking in low voices.
"Yuriko, do you want to become a magical girl?"
Kobe said this with a serious face, and seemed to realize that his wording was wrong, so he quickly shook his head and said, "Oh no, it's Magic Little Cat."
"What are you up to?" Yuriko raised her head, stared at the feathers swaying on Kobe's head, and licked her cat's paw. "I am a noble mutant cat. I have nothing in common with you contracted beasts. You can only hide behind women and cry, but I can work with superheroes."
“A tonic—!”
Kobe yelled softly, slid down to his knees and pounced forward, then raised his wings to hug its cat legs and rubbed them with the feathers on his head, "How can I do my job as the principal if you do this!"
"Who is your principal, Comet Qiamat?"
Yuriko turned her head and squinted at him.
"Schnaian."
Kobe answered immediately.
Yuriko thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't she the magical girl you signed a contract with? Why did she give you the task? Shouldn't you be the one giving her the task? Are you trying to trick me?"
Kobe ignored its doubts. Anyway, no one could understand Yuriko's cat language. As long as the trick was successful, it would be useless no matter how much it shouted!
"Wait a moment!"
Kobe suddenly became alert, raised his wings to his chin, and thought, "When Yuriko becomes a magic cat...if she uses the magic card language to accuse me of my evil deeds with Xiziyue and the others, then wouldn't Lord Kobe be doomed - I have seen contracted beasts contracting magical girls, but I have never seen contracted beasts kidnapping small animals."
Just as it was thinking, Ke Mingye's voice suddenly rang out in its mind.
"Kobe, are you okay? I still have to ask Little Red Riding Hood to go to the Alliance. Let her check your results when we get home."
"Hurry up!" Kobe's heart skipped a beat, and he responded in his mind, "This dead cat is just like Schnaian, being played around by me, Kobe. Don't worry, Principal."
Ke Mingye said, "If you dare to be lazy, be careful that you will be punished by the weird teacher tomorrow. Stand outside with that psychopath. Do you understand?"
Kobe said: "Tonic! Let me sit at the same table with Spider-Man and Nezha. I don't want to get close to those two people outside!"
Seeing that Ke Mingye no longer responded, Kobe immediately shook his head and thought that he could not hide his strength anymore. No matter what, he had to trick this stinky cat first!
So he turned his head to look at Yuriko and said seriously: "What do you say? Sign a contract with me. Have you seen those magical girls on TV? They can fly and use magic cards. After signing a contract with me, you can be like them. In the future, when you have nothing to do, you can turn into a magic cat and sneak out to play. You can also use cards to steal cat strips."
Hearing this, Yuriko raised her eyes and looked at the owl with half belief and half doubt.
"Oh? Tell me how to do it."
Kobe hummed with pride, and then, like Doraemon fiddling with his treasure bag, he reached into his abdomen and pulled out a card from somewhere. The front of the card was empty, but the back was full of twisted, twisted, and tangled magic patterns.
"This is a magical animal contract card, which is equivalent to a contract between us. All you have to do is put a paw print on the card. It's very simple."
As it spoke, it raised its wings and folded them slightly, elbowing Yuriko, "You are so loyal Yuriko-chan, this way I can successfully complete my mission as the principal."
"Are you sure you didn't trick me?"
"No."
"No, I don't trust you. I'm asking my little brother Ke Mingye to intervene."
Yuriko narrowed her eyes.
"Ke Mingye knows nothing about magical girls... No, magical cats."
Kobe said as he suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Yuriko's cat claws and pressed them on the surface of the card.
Then, the front of the card emitted a faint light, and slowly printed out a pattern of a black cat wearing a bow tie and a pitch-black evening dress, with a magic book floating above its head.
[Tip: A magic animal contract card has been bound to the small animal "Yuriko". You can use the power of the contract card at any time to transform "Yuriko" into a magic animal form. ]
[If necessary, you can extract the magic power from the magical animal and use it for your own benefit. ]
[The current training level of the magical animal "Yuriko" is: Lv1 (maximum Lv10)]
"Haha, Principal, I'm hot! Principal, I'm hot—!"
Kobe lowered his face, laughed and held the card in his arms, flapped his wings, and flew back to Schnaian's room, closed the door, and isolated Yuriko outside.
"ill……"
Yuriko narrowed her eyes and watched its figure leave, then she lay back in her furry nest and continued her nap, her tail rising and falling in the mottled light and shadow of noon.
In the dimly lit room, an unknown creature wrapped in a quilt slowly stood up.
She raised her eyes from under her messy hair, rubbed the dark circles under her eyes and said, "Let's go out and go to the dessert shop."
Kobe looked at Shi Naian and blinked: "You're eating dessert right after you got up. You haven't even had lunch yet."
"I'm a magical girl. The only advantage of being a magical girl is that no matter how much you eat, you won't get fat or be unhealthy. Have you ever seen a 100-kilogram magical girl?"
"That's right."
Shi Naian lifted the quilt and muttered, "In my last life, I was submissive in order to avoid becoming a gloomy fat otaku with a height of 160 cm and a weight of 160 kg. In this life..." She yawned and raised her hand to cover her mouth. "Forget it, I can't continue."
She turned her head to look at Kobe and asked in a depressed tone: "Where are Little Red Riding Hood and Senior Ashes?"
"go out."
"Dating on Sundays? How sweet."
At the same time, the teaching building of Yandai Primary School.
The girl in the gothic skirt strolled in the corridor, looking sideways at the Ferris wheel outside the window. It was a little past noon, and the warm wind from the sky above Beijing was blowing in with golden leaves, lifting the ends of her hair, and the gray ribbon on her head danced with it.
There were more than one footsteps heard in the aisle. When she turned around, she saw a girl in a Christmas dress following her. She had pale skin and an indifferent expression, like a thin piece of snow that fell into the city and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ashes, who was walking in front, thought for a moment and asked without turning back.
"You really want to try it?"
"Well, I'm very interested in original cards." Little Red Riding Hood nodded, followed her, and said expressionlessly: "Senior, don't you think I'm making rapid progress... I think it's time to give it a try."
Magical Girl Ash hugged her shoulders and tapped her arms lightly with her fingers.
She said slowly, "Although you have made rapid progress, you are still not at the level where you can create your own cards... At least I have never seen anyone who has created her own cards after becoming a magical girl for just one or two months. Even the word genius is not enough to describe such a person."
"At least I want to try," said Little Red Riding Hood.
The girl in the gothic skirt frowned slightly: "Let's make it clear first. In history, there are less than a hundred magical girls who have the ability to create their own cards. If you fail later, don't lower your head and cry and say something like 'We little girls who grew up with garbage in our mouths are really not worthy of creating our own cards'." "I understand, do you have your own original cards, senior?"
"Of course I have... That Paralysis Magic Missile is my original card. I used it in front of you before."
"When fighting zombies?"
"Aren't they people infected by parasites? Calling them zombies is too rude."
"It was the seniors who first called them zombies." Little Red Riding Hood muttered.
"Really? It doesn't matter... I feel like they are not as good as my zombie brother."
"Speaking of which, Senior mentioned before that Master Xiziyue has more than one original card, but Senior only has one?"
"I'm not very interested, so I only made one." Magical Girl Ashes paused for a moment and continued, "Did anyone else in the Alliance tell you about the term [Origin Card]?"
"Origin card?"
"Origin Cards are also original cards, but each magical girl can only have one Origin Card. This card symbolizes the inner heart of this magical girl. What kind of person you are will determine what kind of Origin Card you will create... This is what my master told me." Ashes said.
"What is the difference between Origin Cards and other original cards?"
"Ordinary original cards cannot evolve. They will always be at the same level when they are created. However, origin cards are different. As magical girls become stronger and stronger and their understanding of magic becomes deeper, origin cards can be upgraded accordingly... For example, my master's origin card 'Time Train' was originally just a C-level card that could only be moved within a small city. Later, it gradually evolved to the domestic level, and later it evolved to the point where it could be moved freely around the world."
The girl in the gothic skirt paused and snorted twice, "Sounds impressive, doesn't it? This is the strength of my master, a magical girl that only appears once in two thousand years."
"It can evolve. That sounds amazing." Little Red Riding Hood put her hand on her chin, thought for a moment and asked again: "Senior, then do I have a chance to create my own Origin Card?"
"No."
"Senior, you bully me... As expected, we little girls who grew up with garbage in our mouths are not worthy of having an origin card like the little girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth."
"Look! Here you go again, always... Never mind. I said you have no chance because even I haven't created my own origin card yet." Ashes paused and added, "But in the final analysis, it's just because I'm not interested in magic cards. My Cinderella is enough. Cards will only affect my on-the-spot performance, which is terrible."
"I guess you just want to be different from other magical girls."
"How could I be so childish?" The girl in the Gothic skirt squinted and gave him a cold look.
"sorry."
As they were talking, the two walked into the empty classroom.
The magical girl Ashes summoned out the magic book, flipped through it slowly with her eyes lowered, and then took out a blank card template for making cards, and a magic card called "Extreme Dream". The pattern on the front of the card was an obscure and hazy color, as if colorful oil piled up to form an ocean.
She looked up at Little Red Riding Hood and said, "First, take the card mold and take out your comet fragments, just like the steps I taught you to make a card before."
"Ah."
Little Red Riding Hood took the blank card model from her hand, recalled the card-making process and followed it, and took out the comet fragment covered with a dim halo from her chest.
At this moment, the magical girl Huijin crushed the magic card "Extreme Dream", gently raised the tip of her index finger, lifted the brim of Little Red Riding Hood, and tapped her smooth forehead.
She said: "Close your eyes and this card will guide you into your inner self."
Hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood closed her eyes, and bizarre images like a dream flashed through her mind.
sled.
A moose suspended in the air on snowflakes.
Christmas Eve.
aurora.
The sky was torn into two by an aurora, one half was dark night and the other half was polar day.
Little Red Riding Hood's lips twitched slightly. "On Christmas Eve... a huge Christmas pattern was slowly turning in the sky, reindeers were pulling a sleigh, the aurora was passing by, and my senior and I were sitting in the sleigh, holding ice cream in our hands. The world was in chaos, but the sleigh took us away..."
Along with unclear and intermittent words, the comet fragments and blank card molds in her hands emitted a faint light, illuminating her pale cheeks.
Seeing this, the girl in the Gothic skirt who was watching was slightly stunned, but couldn't explain why.
In just a moment, Little Red Riding Hood opened her eyes again, "I can't see anything..."
At the same time, the comet fragments in her hands slowly returned to her body, and the hole in her chest closed.
Then Little Red Riding Hood lowered her eyes to look at the blank card template, which was still unchanged. She withdrew her gaze from the surface of the card, raised her eyes, and stared at Ashes' face motionlessly.
"Senior, I failed?"
Ashes was silent for a while, then nodded. "But there was indeed a pattern on the top of the card just now, and it was a very special pattern that I have never seen before..."
Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head and asked expressionlessly, "Special pattern?"
"Generally speaking, the scenes you see in your extreme dreams are closely related to the abilities of your origin cards. Ordinary magical girls cannot see anything in their extreme dreams."
"So I……"
Before she could speak, Ashes interrupted her: "What I mean is... you do have the opportunity to create your own Origin Card, but the time is not right yet."
The girl in the gothic skirt paused and asked an important question: "But what I'm more curious about is..."
She hesitated, took a deep breath, and then said in disbelief: "Why did you see me in the scene in your dream?! Even... just a second ago, I saw myself in the card?"
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment, her hand on her chin, analyzing the situation seriously.
"Maybe it's because I care too much about my seniors, so even the origin cards have their figures in them... I heard that every original card will be included in the magic card encyclopedia and passed down from generation to generation, so does that mean: If I create this card, future generations of magical girls will be able to see the proof of my friendship with my seniors in the encyclopedia."
After a pause, she whispered with emotion: "This is really too two-dimensional. You are worthy of being a senior. Even the way you are remembered by future generations is so special..."
Hearing this, the snow-white cheeks of the girl in the Gothic skirt turned visibly red. She imagined the magical girl of the future squatting in front of the illustrated book, watching her and Little Red Riding Hood flying into the sky on a sled. Steam began to burst out of her head and even her ears turned red.
She opened her mouth but no words came out. In the end, she just frowned and looked away from Little Red Riding Hood's face.
The girl hugged her shoulders and rested her chin on her hand to think for a while, then she murmured with red cheeks: "I, I, I regret it. You... are not allowed to create original cards. Do you understand?!"
Hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood lowered her head with tears in her eyes.
"Senior, you bully me... As expected, we little girls who grew up with garbage in our mouths are not worthy of having an origin card like the little girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth."
