Chapter 260 How old is he to still like playing with booby traps?
"Well done! Excellent work, Inari!"
"Huff... Huff..."
The girl's panting echoed continuously, and heavy collisions and cheers filled her ears, weaving together everything Su Tianqing heard and saw.
.
The golden fox stopped winding up the music box.
There was not a trace of illusion magic on the music box.
The illusion magic was activated only after its music had been played in its entirety, indicating that Inari had preserved this illusion magic in the form of music within the music box.
Su Tianqing's feelings were complicated; she didn't know what expression to show.
Should I be surprised? Or should I be terrified?
Inari's skill in using magic far exceeded her own understanding, completely refreshing her perception of "magic".
The magic, conveyed through music, is so exquisite that it makes one wonder just who Inari really is.
"Magic can be used like this?!" Su Tianqing really wanted to exclaim.
But amidst her reflections, the golden fox also realized the infinite possibilities of the passive skill that enhanced her control over magic.
In short, let's finish watching this Inari Memories first and see what she intends to tell us through this illusionary magic.
Su Tianqing looked ahead.
The golden-haired magical girl gripped her wand tightly. Before her lay a spacious park square, the road and flowerbeds shattered, with the dark, monstrous remains of a strange creature lying on the ground, disintegrating into magical particles.
The turtle spirit floated beside her and cheered loudly.
"How does it feel? This feeling of personally fighting monsters."
"Very, very exciting... a little too exciting..."
The fox-girl collapsed to the ground, her crimson tail drooping behind her, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
The turtle spirit floated to her side and restored her magic, praising her as it did so:
"You did a great job. That monster was at least as strong as Pleiades. You were able to defeat it on your own in your debut battle, which is already better than most magical girls."
"Really... So that guy was that good..."
The golden-haired magical girl finally recovered, propped herself up on the ground, and looked at the dissipating remains of the strange man with considerable worry.
When the Hero Association's vehicle arrived at the scene, the girl quickly pulled off the fox mask on her head to cover her face.
"Hello, are you the newest magical girl?"
"Yes, yes, I've taken care of the strange man. The rest... I'll leave it to you."
"Thank you so much for your help! No one in the vicinity was harmed!"
"Is that so... Ahahaha..."
"If it had escaped, it would have caused massive casualties. It would have taken at least fifteen minutes for the magical girls from nearby cities to arrive. Luckily, you were there, which allowed us to intercept it in time."
Upon hearing the praise from the staff, the red fox girl's cheeks flushed instantly, and she shyly scratched the back of her head.
"Speaking of which, we were still discussing what codename to give you. May I ask—"
"【Inari】".
Without the slightest hesitation, the red fox girl uttered the word that had been swirling in her mind.
"Inari, huh...?"
"I understand. I will convey your wishes to the association's personnel department. Thank you again for your help, Ms. Inari."
...
The illusion ends here.
Su Tianqing looked calmly at the empty music studio in front of her, as if she was still immersed in the memory of what had just happened.
[Inari music boxes, already collected]
[Collection Progress: 2/13]
This way, the mission progressed smoothly. Let's also check what kind of ability enhancement this item will give me today.
Humming the tune she had just heard, Su Tianqing carefully stored the music box in her magic space and examined the Inari mask in her hand.
Oh? Sure enough, a new skill appeared on the mask's description page:
[Inari's Notes: Once per day, it records magical effects in the form of music and song, lasting up to three days.]
What a mysterious skill.
Why is using magic in the form of music included in the category of daily limited abilities?
But upon closer inspection, things don't seem to be that simple.
—In the past, the magic I used required a specific target to be cast, or it had to exist in the form of a barrier, which was very inflexible.
While the ability of music magic may seem useless, if you record the magic you need in advance into a music box or radio, you can trigger and release it just like when Inari presented the illusion...
"...Hehe, it might be a very interesting ability," Su Tianqing said with a smile.
I'll study it carefully tonight and see just how capable it is. I still have some fun to do today.
The golden fox walked to the front of the studio and peeked outside.
Not far down the corridor, the deep blue tactical catgirl was setting up tripwire traps. When she turned around and saw the golden fox girl peeking out, she quickly approached her and slipped into the workshop.
"How are things? Where are Hyacinth and the others?"
"They're chasing after us, but they can't catch up in a short time."
The catgirl chuckled, her tail wagging happily.
"I've prepared a lot of gifts for them, which will surely bring them endless surprises."
"Hmm? Could it be the landmine from yesterday?"
"—Not just landmines, but also tripwires and booby traps. I got a lot of them from arms smugglers yesterday."
Before the two could exchange more than a few words, a dull thud came from the stairwell, and the catgirl's smile widened.
"Look, you've been infected."
Su Tianqing blinked, feeling genuine sympathy for the three girls, including Fengxinzi, who were currently experiencing such a predicament.
Although Xiaoyu is a fighting fanatic who loves to fight, she still has a considerable passion for ambush and trickery, and can always find strange locations for laying mines in the shadows.
No one likes tripwire traps or booby traps, let alone the tricky spot set up by the catgirl next to them.
"Although landmines are fun, remember to remove them, otherwise it won't be good if they affect civilians."
"I know, I've set up timed removal spells for each booby trap. They'll automatically deactivate after an hour," the catgirl said confidently.
"That's good~"
Su Tianqing smiled with satisfaction.
When looking for trouble or having fun, the safety of innocent civilians must be guaranteed. This is my guiding principle!
"Speaking of which, what about Rabbit and Little Wolf? Are they in position yet?" Nan Jiayu suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.
"They say it's ready to be deployed at any time, but I feel that thing isn't useful for the time being. There's a more suitable scenario where it can be put to good use." Su Tianqing revealed a mysterious smile and made a shushing gesture.
"Besides, if we just send Hyacinth and her team alone to stop us, don't you think it will get a bit boring if we repeat ourselves too much?"
"Is that so...? I'm actually quite enjoying it..."
The catgirl tilted her head and answered honestly.
"Fox, do you have any new ideas? Tell us about them."
"Hehehehe..."
The villain's sinister smile appeared on the golden-haired fox girl's face, startling Nan Jiayu.
"Cat, do you remember? I planted a familiar disguised as a mole in their team."
"I remember now. I'm quite curious, Fox, who exactly did your familiar impersonate? Who is the mole?"
"Well..."
Su Tianqing walked to the window, pulled back the curtains a crack, and looked out at the rooftop of the building with its expansive view.
"Who do you think is more suitable to be the mole among them?"
