Chapter 1948: You've Been Strengthened (I'm Really Sleepy Today)
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to call you so early........."
Looking at Xiaohuan who came over, Momoko greeted her with a smile, and after seeing Xiaohuan's face clearly, Momoko was stunned for a moment.
"Are you alright?"
No wonder Peaches asked this, because the small circles in front of her eyes were dark, and the whole person looked quite tired, as if she hadn't slept well after staying up all night.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!"
Hearing Peach's inquiry, Xiaohuan hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's just that I'm a little worried because of the worries, so peach, ......... you come out to me today?"
"Ah, it's about Kaede and Reina."
"Is something wrong?"
Xiaohuan raised her head, only to find that Rena was standing not far behind Momoko, looking uneasy. Xiaohuan hadn't heard anything about it when she received the phone call before......... Well, the main thing is that Xiaohuan himself was flustered at that time, and he didn't hear what Peaches was saying clearly at all, but he only heard that Peaches had something to find him, so he hurriedly hung up the phone and came out.
The main thing is that after that kind of thing, she doesn't know how to deal with the red ponytail at all!
"Well, that's right."
Momoko is also very understanding, and she knows that there is a hidden meaning in Xiaohuan's expression, but she doesn't ask, but nods.
"Actually, the Witch in Chains showed up last night and took Kaede away."
"Huh? What's going on? β
In the face of Xiaohuan's inquiry, although Peaches was a little embarrassed, she finally whispered.
"Actually......... Yesterday Rena went to that rumored severance ladder and wrote her and Kaede's names........."
"Heyβββ!?"
Hearing Peach's words, Xiaohuan suddenly screamed, and Peaches continued helplessly.
"Then that night, Kaede went to Reina to apologize, but at this time, the Witch in Chains suddenly appeared and took Kaede away."
In other words, the rumors of the severance ladder are true......... Well? β
Speaking of this, Xiaohuan was suddenly stunned.
"Kaede was taken away like this?"
"Well, I know what you're thinking, I'm actually surprised."
Momoko nodded, of course she knew Xiaohuan's thoughts, if it was an ordinary girl, it would not be strange to be captured. But you must know that Reina and Kaede are not ordinary people, but magical girls. And when the witch appears, it usually produces a breath, and Reina and Kaede are no longer newcomers, take 10,000 steps back, even if they don't feel it when the witch appears, at least they can fight or run away with it, and be captured directly?
It's a bit unimaginable.
"But that's the way it was at the time, the Witch in Chains suddenly appeared, grabbed Kaede and disappeared, in fact, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it........."
"I see."
Xiaohuan nodded.
"I'm willing to help, if there's anything I can do to help, feel free to ask."
"That's great."
"It's nothing, you also helped me find my sister yesterday......... We're all magical girls, so we have to help each other, don't we? β
As she spoke, Xiaohuan returned to her what Peaches said yesterday, and Peaches smiled embarrassedly, and then restrained her expression and became serious.
"Then let's go to the adjustment house first, I've asked someone who is very familiar with rumors to help, and you know that person."
"Huh?"
In fact, when Xiaohuan followed Momoko to the adjustment house, she finally understood what Momoko meant by "You also know that person", because the person who appeared in front of them was none other than Nanami Yachiyo, who had blocked Xiaohuan before.
"I already know the situation."
The corners of Yachiyo's eyes twitched when she saw Kohuan and the red ponytail walk in, and then she turned her head to look at Momoko.
"Since Kaede has been captured, of course I'm willing to help, but ........."
Saying this, Yachiyo looked at Xiaohuan again, sensing her gaze, and Xiaohuan couldn't help but shrink his body.
"I don't want some people in the way to join the action."
"I called her here, and she's worried about Kaede, it's not good for you to say that."
Hearing Yachiyo's words, Momoko complained dissatisfied, while Yachiyo just sat silently on the sofa.
"It's dangerous to bring a magical girl with no combat power, and you don't want to increase the number of victims."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel."
At this time, the proprietress of Yakumo clapped her hands with a smile, breaking the originally tense atmosphere.
"In that case, I have a way, how about the little ring also adjust the soul gem?"
"Ah, yes!"
Hearing this, Xiaohuan also hurriedly agreed.
"I came to the adjustment house this time, and I originally hoped to be able to adjust the soul gem, but if I can't fight the witches of Kamihama City, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find my sister........."
"Then it's decided."
Lady Yakumo grinned again, while Yachiyo sighed.
"Whatever you want, but you have to remember."
As he spoke, Yachiyo walked up to Kohuan and stared at her.
"If you're still so weak after adjusting your soul gems, then you'll be able to get more people involved for your purposes later......... Don't forget that. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Yachiyo's words, Kohuan hesitated, but did not answer. At this time, I saw the proprietress of Yakumo clapping her hands, and soon the originally bright light dimmed, and then lit up the yellow light.
"Alright, Xiaohuan, come here and take off your clothes."
"Ah, okay............... Ay? β
Xiaohuan nodded and subconsciously stood up, but at this time, her whole body suddenly froze.
"That......... Undressing? β
"That's right, put the clothes in the basket over here, and lie down here........."
"I, the ......... This ........."
In the face of Yakumo's boss's instructions, Xiaohuan was obviously a little uneasy, but she still gritted her teeth and then stretched out her hand.........
"Really, Yakumo, don't play tricks on her!"
Fortunately, Peaches was quick and grabbed the small ring.
"She's lying to you, don't really believe her."
"Is that so?!"
"Huhuhu......... Alright, that's the end of the joke, sit down and I'll adjust the soul gems for you. β
Yakumo directly ignored Momoko's complaints, smiled and made a gesture of please, and let Xiaohuan sit on the sofa in front of him.
"Alright, Little Ring, please take out your soul gem."
"Ah, yes........."
Hearing Yakumo's words, Xiaohuan obediently took out her soul gem, but she was still a little uneasy. After all, the soul gem is the life of a magical girl, let alone in the hands of others, it is simply unheard of, which is completely no different from putting one's net worth and life in the hands of others. But since everyone trusts Miss Yakumo so much, Xiaohuan has no choice but to take a hard gamble.
"Okay, close your eyes and take a deep breath......... Just relax. β
As he spoke, Yakumo stretched out his hand.
"So, I'm going to touch your soul gem?"
However, to everyone's surprise, just before Yakumo's hand was about to touch the soul gem of the small ring, a slender white finger stretched out from her side and placed it on the soul gem.
"Huh?!"
Everyone turned their heads in surprise, only to find that the red ponytail didn't know when he came to Yakumo's side!
"What are you doing!"
Yachiyo instantly transformed, and then raised the spear in his hand and pointed at the red ponytail, but the red ponytail didn't even look at her, just stared at the small ring quietly, and then a flame emerged from her fingertips, as if burning the soul gem of the small ring.
"Uh......... What does it feel like......... I always felt like something hot was coming in......... Miss Yakumo........."
With the explosion of flames, Xiaohuan's complexion gradually changed. Her otherwise fair complexion began to flush, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. The girl's body trembled incessantly, as if she was enduring something.
"Let her go!"
Seeing this, Yachiyo became more and more impatient, she roared angrily, and the spear in her hand stabbed straight towards the red ponytail.
However, the next scene stunned everyone.
In the face of Yachiyo's lightning-like spear, I saw that the red ponytail didn't even look at it, she just stretched out the index finger of her left hand and lightly clicked it.
"Bell !!"
In this way, the tip of the spear that had burst out suddenly hit the index finger of the red ponytail, but the petite body of the red ponytail who received the blow did not even shake, as if nothing had happened.
"Liar!"
Seeing this, Reina Mizuba was also so frightened that her eyes almost fell out of her sockets, how strong Yachiyo is They are very clear, and Yachiyo's full blow just now actually made the girl in front of her unable to move?
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
"Uh......... Hmmm..............."
However, at the same time, Xiaohuan, who was sitting on the sofa, let out a slightly painful moan more and more.
"Uh......... Yes......... Ahh β
Finally, with a scream, Xiaohuan suddenly collapsed on the sofa, and at the same time, the red ponytail withdrew his hand and walked to the side again. At this moment, the others didn't care about her, and hurriedly came to Xiaohuan's side.
"Little Ring? How are you? β
"How does it feel? You okay?! β
"Cheer up, are you okay?!"
Even Reina Mizuba, who has always had no good face for Xiaohuan, showed a worried expression at this time, after all, the soul gem is the lifeblood of a magical girl, and the red ponytail doesn't even know if it is a magical girl or a witch in their eyes, so there is no way to predict what will happen to such an unknown and extremely powerful existence touching the soul gem of Xiaohuan!
"Woo........."
In the midst of everyone's call, Xiaohuan slowly opened his eyes.
"I......... It's fine, it's just that just now I suddenly felt something hot enter my body, and then it exploded all of a sudden......... It's like there's a fire in your body, and it's okay now. β
"Really? Yakumo, let's check her out. β
Although Xiaohuan said this, everyone present looked solemn, and Yakumo also nodded, and stretched out his finger again to touch Xiaohuan's soul gem. This time Yachiyo and Momoko both stood in front of Red Ponytail to prevent her from striking again. It's just that at this time, the red ponytail seems to have done its job, just standing there quietly, and re-entering standby mode.
After a few moments, Yakumo lowered his hand.
"Uh-huh..............."
"How's it going?"
Looking at Yakumo's contemplative expression, Yachiyo asked, and Yakumo shook his head.
"There's nothing particularly bad about it, I can feel the power in the soul gem of the little ring......... It's even better than what I've been tweaked to. β
"Huh? Is that so? β
Faced with this answer, everyone was somewhat surprised, and they turned their heads in surprise and looked at the red ponytail.
Could it be that she is helping Xiaohuan?!
