Chapter 373 Uninvited Guest
"Um... Xiaoyue, and Miss Dandelion."
The white sable spirit floated in mid-air and spoke to the two people beside her.
The golden magical girl turned her head curiously, looking at Bai Ling beside her along with the fox spirit.
"Senior Bai Ling? You seem a little uneasy."
Yue Tianxin tilted her head curiously, sat on the dandelion's shoulder, and the two fox tails, one big and one small, swayed at the same time.
"Yeah, Bai Ling, why are you so nervous? We're not going to fight."
Bai Ling took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said very seriously:
"You might not know this, Xiaoyue, but I don't get along well with the stargazers in London, and... I really dislike their style..."
"I see. Are you nervous because you're about to meet your old rival?"
The magical girl Dandelion listened silently to the conversation between the stargazers below, and was even more shocked by the complete set of settings and knowledge that the secret book had given to Yue Tianxin.
Before he could delve deeper into the relationship between Bai Ling and the London stargazers, a familiar voice rang out from beside the conference table:
"Miss Dandelion".
"Hmm?"
The golden fox turned its head curiously and met the gaze of the white-haired girl sitting in the head seat.
The permanent S-class hero of the Chengdu Heroes Association is [Messiah].
She rarely appears in public and doesn't look human, making it difficult to determine her ethnicity.
Misel Victoria Tudor is said to be an extraterrestrial inhabitant who traveled from the astral plane.
"I noticed you've been staring in an area where no one is around. Are you chatting with the stargazers?"
"Ah, yes."
Su Tianqing nodded and answered honestly.
"Oh, I see." The white-haired girl nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"What kinds of topics do stargazers usually talk about? Is it about the celestial realm? Or do they talk a lot about magic?"
"It's actually quite ordinary, but they are, after all, residents of the astral plane, so they often talk about astral topics."
"I see."
As if her curiosity had been satisfied, the white-haired girl smiled and picked up the specially made insulated water bottle in front of her, taking a sip of the drink inside.
"We rarely see each other, Miss Dandelion."
"Yes, I haven't seen you before, Miss Misel."
"You actually remember my name? How polite! I like you more and more."
The white-haired girl squinted and smiled happily, but it didn't last long before her attention was drawn to the Hero Association staff who entered through the door.
"Okay, I understand. Let them in."
After briefly explaining her work, the girl turned and exchanged a glance with Su Tianqing, and they both nodded slightly.
Today is a work handover meeting and hearing specially arranged by the Chengdu Heroes Association to provide intelligence support for the Burning Wind Squad, which came all the way from London.
But the number of attendees at the meeting provides some clues—
"You should know what I mean, Miss Dandelion."
The white-haired girl, Misser, suddenly turned her head and looked at Su Tianqing.
"According to the Hero Association's procedures, when a magical girl from another region goes to carry out an operation, at least two resident heroes must provide intelligence support."
"I know that, but..."
Su Tianqing answered, then glanced at the empty conference table.
Apart from Messiah, none of the other S-class heroes were present, and their excuses were quite vague.
Meteor said, "Someone in the garage asked me to move my car, so I'm going home to check," to which Messiah retorted, "Why would someone who can teleport buy a car?"
Moira and Lancet said they had an important surgery to perform, but Messiah harshly criticized them, saying, "Who needs both of you to be on the job at the same time? The President of the United States?"
As for electromagnetism and steel, they simply cannot be connected at all. The former used psychic abilities to block all radio waves, and the Messiah could not even find any trace of the couple.
"Don't worry, I have a way of dealing with them. What you need to do is very simple—"
After saying this, Messiah took out a piece of paper, quickly wrote a line of words, walked to his side, and gently slid it in front of him.
The Hero Association doesn't want to anger Heartmoon Fox because of Alice; the information you provided is crucial.
Su Tianqing read the paper word by word and was just about to nod when the paper in her hand suddenly disappeared without a trace. Messiah's position also instantly returned to the head of the conference table, as if nothing had happened.
The conference table was pushed open, and four magical girls walked in from outside, all looking at themselves and the two stargazer elves on their shoulders.
And another stargazer, expressionless, floated above their heads—
"Bai Ling, it's been a long time."
A stargazing elf who looked like a lion greeted Bai Ling with a smile.
Although the greeting carried a hint of hostility, Bai Ling suppressed the urge to curse and replied:
"Yes, it's been a long time, Merlin."
"Hmm? Who is this person next to you...?"
Upon noticing the fox spirit sitting on Su Tianqing's shoulder, the lion spirit called Merlin asked curiously, its words suddenly becoming cautious.
The moon floated up into the sky and politely bowed in greeting.
"Nice to meet you, Senior Meilin. I am a new stargazer who has come to Rongcheng to assist Senior Bailing. My name is Yue Tianxin."
"Moonlight Heart..."
The lion spirit pondered briefly, gave Bai Ling a deep look, and immediately straightened his posture, returning the greeting to Yue Tianxin.
"I remember you, Ms. Yue Tianxin. I hope we can get along well in our future work together."
"Thank you for your trust, Senior Merlin. I will do my best."
The fox spirit remained calm and composed, behaving with great elegance.
Bai Ling, however, was shocked and poked the fox spirit that flew back to her side, whispering, "That Mei Lin actually greeted you, Xiao Yue?!" She only received a light laugh from the fox spirit in response.
"Merlin, are you finished talking? Is it our turn?"
The leading magical girl spoke up, quickly shifting the focus of the conversation to them.
Su Tianqing looked at the leading reddish-brown magical girl, who had a typical European face.
"Hello, Miss Dandelion, I am Fenfeng."
"Hello, Miss Fenfeng."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the other party got straight to the point.
"We're tracking down the notorious criminal [Jack the Ripper]. We've heard she recently appeared in Chengdu and is hanging out with the infamous Heart Moon Fox..."
After a brief pause, the magical girl, Fengfeng, leaned forward and spoke quite earnestly.
"We hope you can provide information related to her to help us arrest her."
"Yes, I will definitely cooperate fully."
The golden-haired fox nodded and said in a serious tone.
While the magical girls were exchanging information, the stargazers quietly flew to the balcony and gazed at each other.
"You're really lucky, Bai Ling."
The lion spirit said with a displeased expression,
"I can't believe Miss Yue Tianxin came to help you. I remember you were at the bottom of our class, weren't you?"
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm second to last, okay?!"
"Because the student who came in last place was sick and missed the exam, right?"
"You...you...!"
Bai Ling gritted her teeth in anger, while the lion spirit wore a wide smile.
Actually, these two aren't like sworn enemies; they're more like close friends who've been bickering. Yue Tianxin thought to herself.
"Judging from your reaction, Bai Ling, you must not have never heard of Miss Yue Tianxin's background."
"W-How come I've never heard of it!" Bai Ling quickly retorted.
"Xiaoyue is a stargazer directly appointed by the Star God Council; she came specifically to help me!"
"Hmph, she's a super high achiever who gets perfect scores in every subject. You call her so affectionately, didn't you even ask for Miss Yue Tianxin's opinion?"
"I have no objection. Senior Bai Ling can call me whatever you want," the fox spirit replied with a light laugh, covering her mouth.
Seeing this, the lion elf didn't say anything more, but turned to look in the direction of the magical girls and sighed.
"Sigh... I've tried to persuade Fenfeng so many times, but she still insists on coming. I really don't know what she's thinking."
"You insisted on coming here? Is it to capture Alice?"
"Her codename in London is Jack the Ripper. Alice sounds better, but she doesn't seem to approve of her name, Foehn."
At this point, the lion spirit glanced again at the wind spirit who was talking to the dandelion, and said softly,
"Furthermore, it seems that the Foehn Wind harbors some deep-seated prejudice against what you call 'Alice'."
"bias?"
"...Fenfeng hates the so-called 'villainous magical girl' very much."
The lion spirit Merlin shook her head and didn't say anything more.
But it was as if she had said everything she knew.
