“Said I was going to look for Dahuang, but thinking about it, there’s no good excuse for me to approach her with my current identity…”
“This phone doesn’t even have her contact info.”
Once she accepted the mission, she had to figure out how to complete it.
Jiang Yin applied for a Bureau car and drove out of the Magical Girl Administration Bureau.
Driving with a smaller body was awkward, but after getting used to it, it was fine. She just had to raise the seat a lot higher.
Although it’s said you can’t get a driver’s license if you’re under 1.5 meters tall, her license was a fake issued by the Bureau anyway, so points didn’t matter, and lately, she’d been wearing thick-soled shoes with hidden lifts whenever she went out.
Unlike when she first transformed and was only 1.45 meters tall, unable to see herself fully in the bathroom mirror barefoot, at least now she looked over 1.5 meters.
Walking was a bit tiring, though.
If her physical abilities, coordination, and flexibility hadn’t improved so much after transforming, she would have definitely twisted her ankle running with Dahuang last night.
She parked at the hotel entrance she left that morning.
A white-haired girl wearing sunglasses and a mask stepped out in style.
For some reason, the front desk lady on duty was still the same one, sporting big dark circles. When she saw her, she instantly perked up.
She stood up with a swish, startling Jiang Yin into stepping back half a pace.
This person seemed a little off.
Carefully, Jiang Yin asked, “…Room 404 hasn’t checked out, right?”
“Not yet, not yet, she probably hasn’t woken up. Do you want to go up and see her?”
“I have a master key here, I can take you up.”
After holding on all morning, she finally got to see the next episode of her favorite drama.
The lady was so motivated, she was even willing to break the rules to help Jiang Yin open the door.
“Then…thank you?”
“Don’t mention it. After all, you renewed the room.”
“What’s your relationship with her?”
“Friends.”
Jiang Yin didn’t want to chat too much with strangers, so her tone was cold.
And this lady was pretty weird.
“Oh, oh.”
“You two drank a lot last night.”
“Yeah, she broke up, I came to comfort her.”
“Boyfriend?”
“Female.”
For some reason, the front desk lady’s eyes got even brighter.
Probably no moment in her life did she wish more for the elevator to go slower.
Unfortunately, with a ding, the door opened.
Jiang Yin walked out quickly, standing in front of room 404, looking at her through her sunglasses in silence.
Her beautiful lips were pressed together, not wanting to say a word.
The front desk lady could only open the door for her and leave, turning back three times with every step, typing furiously on her phone.
Whatever she was chatting about, Jiang Yin had no way to know.
She went in.
Qv Si Nan was still asleep.
The room was filled with the smell of alcohol.
But she held her liquor well, didn’t cry or make a scene, didn’t even throw up.
Jiang Yin frowned, took off her sunglasses and mask, sniffed, and decided the smell was bearable.
She walked across the floor in her long tactical boots, making crisp sounds, then went to the window and pulled open the curtains to air the place out.
“Water… know…”
“Yes, yes, water.”
She’d brought a bottle of mineral water from the front desk, twisted it open, and fed a little into her mouth.
Qv Si Nan seemed to wake up a little, her blurry vision filled with pure white hair.
Even her eyelashes were pure white.
Her violet eyes were like a lake in a night forest—silent, gentle, shining.
“It’s you…”
Her throat was hoarse, voice much lower.
“Why are you back again?”
“Worried you’d die here.”
Jiang Yin was telling the truth.
Being targeted by a high-risk monster meant her life was always in danger.
But obviously, this sounded like tsundere concern to Qv Si Nan.
“Thank you…”
“Don’t mention it.”
“After all, we’re drinking buddies for a night. Can’t let you die here.”
The smell of alcohol was fading in the room, but Jiang Yin suddenly caught a faint, bloody stench.
“…Did your period start last night? What’s that smell?”
“No, my date’s always on the 30th of every month…”
As soon as the words fell, Qv Si Nan woke up completely.
Jiang Yin hurled the mineral water bottle toward the window.
It hit the nose of the monster crawling in silently—exactly the same as the one they’d encountered last night, forcibly shaped into a paper-thin magical girl figure.
Bloody, foul-smelling fluid sprayed out, instantly making the room unbearable.
Jiang Yin yanked Qv Si Nan off the bed with her right hand, grabbed a chair with her left, and smashed it with all her strength.
“Run!”
“Okay!”
Still weak from the hangover, Qv Si Nan staggered as she was pulled, but quickly regained her balance, ran to the door in a few steps, opened it, and bolted out.
She knew Jiang Yin was way faster than her.
Staying only made her a burden.
The right thing to do was to run downstairs and call the police.
As for Jiang Yin, left alone in the room…
The pure white girl drew a silver dagger and slashed through the ‘Corpse Monster’s’ hard neck as easily as slicing tofu.
She pulled out her heavy Three-Proof Phone and called Ning Rong, watching expressionlessly as the still-struggling corpse writhed.
“The monster’s target really is Dahuang. Maybe it wanted to wipe us out too—no way the timing is just a coincidence.”
She kicked away the monster crawling over to claw at her, then picked up her mask, sunglasses, and Qv Si Nan’s phone left in the room.
“I severed its head with a dagger, but it still seems to be able to move.”
“Should it be further dealt with?”
“No need, Taotao is already on her way. Leave the rest to her, your only job is to ensure Ms. Qv Si Nan’s safety.”
“Ok~”
Jiang Yin calmly closed the door and headed downstairs.
This manufactured monster wasn’t even C-Class—just a D-Class small fry.
Aside from its ability to hide its scent, its combat power was about the same as a movie zombie.
For a calm adult man with a weapon, taking it down wouldn’t be hard.
However, monsters only died completely when their resentment was purified by sunlight or a Magical Girl’s magic.
Jiang Yin wasn’t awakened yet, so being able to decapitate it in one blow was due to the magical device’s bonus.
Killing it completely would be a waste.
Better to save resources.
She didn’t have time to find Ning Rong to recharge her magical device.
Anyway, this thing was no threat for now…
Catching a glimpse of pink hair outside the window, Jiang Yin smiled and found Qv Si Nan in the lobby, who was pacing nervously, about to rush upstairs.
She reached out and patted her shoulder.
“Your phone~”
“You still had time to bring my phone down!?”
Worried and excited, Qv Si Nan’s voice was high and sharp.
“Relax~ That thing can’t beat me.”
The girl waved her hand.
“Didn’t you notice how weak that monster was? One chair and it went down.”
Qv Si Nan: “….”
Thinking back to kicking a similar monster across the room last night, she calmed down.
“That’s true.”
