The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 236 The Rabbit's Adventure

Port City is a city with a long history.

The economy here is very developed. Even though it is a newly emerging city, Shenzhen cannot compare with the port city in terms of its foundation as a metropolis.

A metropolis like this, with its large population, naturally gives rise to many urban legends.

For example, there's the mysterious pizza deliveryman who always delivers on time, or the supernatural horror story of the big-headed baby.

However, within the magical girl community of the port city, there circulates a most famous legend:

"Did you know that Hong Kong is famous for producing villainous magical girls?"

"Ever since Mercury, the 'Azure Reaper' of Suicheng, appeared, a number of villainous magical girls with names and identities have emerged in the port city—"

"The Venus flytrap, strychnine, bumblebee, and guinea pig are all formidable villains."

"But do you know why Port City produces so many villainous magical girls? Where do their guardian stars come from?"

"This is the story we're going to tell today... Magical Girl [Inari]."

Xia Taotao gripped the huge handbag tightly, looking excitedly at the person in front of her who was telling a story to everyone.

This is a small teahouse in the port city—the kind with a magical girl theme, which is very famous throughout the country.

The nominal owner of this teahouse is none other than the villainous magical girl, Mercury, who has long since disappeared into the astral plane. This place has thus become a pilgrimage site for many magical girl enthusiasts.

"Speaking of Inari, one cannot help but mention her nemesis, Bumblebee."

"You've all heard of Bumblebee, right? She showed up in Shanghai a while ago. It's said that Bai Lili's team fought her a few times. Although she couldn't gain the upper hand against Bai Lili, she still managed to escape unscathed."

"And the most widely circulated quote from Bumblebee is his evaluation of his former rival, Inari:"

"Inari's power is immense, but it has also brought numerous hidden dangers to the port city."

The rabbit girl, huddled in the corner, slightly opened her mouth and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

As a huge fan of magical girls, Xia Taotao had naturally heard of these two.

【Inari】is a local magical girl from the port city. She was a contemporary of 【Chixue】 from Chengdu. After being active for more than ten years, she announced her retirement, which saddened countless fans.

However, upon her retirement, she displayed a powerful magic that no one has been able to replicate to this day—the Harvest Magic—which enveloped the entire port city.

The principles are complex, but can be summarized as follows:

First, from now on, the magic of the port city will periodically condense into a guardian star.

Second, even without stargazers to maintain them, these naturally formed guardian stars will not dissipate.

Third, and most importantly, these condensed guardian stars are no different from the guardian stars that descend from the astral plane.

"I see……"

"Because the port city is scattered with guardian stars, therefore..."

Many people who had never heard of this rumor suddenly realized what was going on, but they also quickly voiced their objections.

"But that doesn't make sense. Neither the Venus flytrap nor the nux vomica first transformed in Hong Kong. What's the explanation for that?"

"So it's just an urban legend, right? If you know any more interesting stories, feel free to share them."

Xia Taotao didn't listen to anything more. She glanced at the time and realized it was getting late, then quietly squeezed out of the crowd and headed towards the next location.

There are still many things I haven't finished with my trip to the port city. Besides this Mercury Tea House, I also need to visit the Inari Retirement Memorial Hall and see the remains of the strange man that still stands by the sea.

That was the biggest monster Inari had ever defeated. Her remains were transformed into a reef on the coast by her magic, and it is now a famous tourist attraction in the port city.

"The Whale Monster Reef... is in this direction... but let's check out the retirement memorial first..."

Xia Taotao lowered her head, her rabbit ears drooping behind her head, and traveled along the map.

But what no one noticed was that behind her, not too far away, hung a petite, unfamiliar girl.

The girl's face was gloomy, her eyes were somewhat unfocused, and she exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Her beast ears stood up on her head, and her tail drooped down, swaying slowly from side to side, which was enough to tell her identity: a canine beastman.

But her eyes remained fixed on the rabbit girl not far away, as if she could see tonight's food.

"...Why do I feel a chill down my back?"

Xia Taotao seemed to sense something, looked up at the alley she was in, and then looked down at her phone to open the 3D location service, trying to find her location.

Immediately afterward, in the instant the phone screen went black and started loading, the rabbit girl caught a glimpse of the gray-haired figure behind her in the reflection of the screen, as well as the hungry look in her eyes.

"!!!!!!"

The rabbit's instincts made Xia Taotao almost jump up suddenly, her rabbit ears perked up, and she immediately became alert to her surroundings.

What? Tracking?

Rabbit Girl turned around abruptly, but saw nothing. She hurriedly put away her phone, gripped her handbag tightly, and ran away as fast as she could.

Why is someone following me?!

Has my identity as the Cheshire Bunny been exposed?! Are those Hero Association agents behind me?!

We have to escape quickly! And we need to find a way to notify Fox and the others! And...

Before the words had even finished in her mind, Xia Taotao turned a corner, ready to continue her sprint, but was stunned by the road maintenance barrier blocking the alleyway.

This road has been cut off... it's a dead end...

The rabbit girl turned around and met the gaze of the gray-haired girl blocking the road.

"...You run pretty fast."

The girl spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly, concealing an uncontrollable longing.

Xia Taotao was stunned for a moment.

A girl? Isn't she an agent of the Hero Association?

But that look in her eyes... could it be...?

Xia Taotao suddenly realized something—the state of the orc girl in front of her was exactly the same as when she lost control of her magic!

The shining guardian star in her hand speaks volumes.

"Buzz!"

The release of magic happens in an instant.

A gray-white magical girl appeared before her, and her wolf-like, hungry eyes made Xia Taotao tremble.

"...I won't hurt you, as long as you cooperate with me and let me replenish my magic from you..."

The gray wolf girl murmured as she slowly approached Xia Taotao.

Rabbit Girl swallowed hard, instinctively took a half step back, and covered her huge satchel.

I never imagined that I would become someone else's source of magical energy.

But my bag is full of Hong Kong-exclusive merchandise that I just bought. What if I damage it?

Thinking of this, Xia Taotao hesitated for a moment.

But the situation did not allow her to hesitate any longer—the gray wolf girl seized the moment when the rabbit girl was distracted and pounced forward. Although her steps were full of the emptiness of magic, her momentum was still full!

...the next moment.

"Crack!!!"

"?!"

The gray wolf girl was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall beside the alley and collapsing the entire wall. The huge noise startled the sirens of countless electric scooters nearby.

Amidst the cacophony of buzzing, the gray wolf girl looked up in horror, meeting the pink figure that should have been her "food":

Amidst the dust, a magical girl dressed as a pink bunny girl stood out, holding a bunny hammer in one hand and giving herself a joyful smile.

"Between us... who is the 'food' really, Miss Gray Wolf?"
