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

Chapter 493 Rabbit's Judgment Day

The trial of the rabbit has come to a temporary end.

The defendant, Cheshire Rabbit, committed the serious crime of child abduction of an ignorant junior and was sentenced to double the tickling punishment, a sentence unanimously agreed upon by his villainous companions.

However, at the earnest request of the victim, Meng Donghua, the torture of tickling the soles of the feet was changed to probation, and it was decided to consider whether to carry it out after listening to the opinions of both parties.

"Rabbit, tell me honestly, what exactly did you do inside Kalia's barrier?"

Su Tianqing sat upright in the private interrogation room, looking at the pink-furred rabbit girl in front of her, and said.

A steaming bowl of noodles sat in front of Xia Taotao, and she was slurping it down in small bites—this was her breakfast for the day.

While eating noodles, Xia Taotao answered:

"After I was sucked into the barrier, I encountered a very powerful monster. It could see through my inner nightmares and materialize them. Its abilities were extremely strong."

"See through people's hearts?... What a rare ability." Su Tianqing said in surprise.

Mind reading is a terrifying ability. The Hero Association President Barbarossa, whom I met back then, seemed to be able to read minds, which was very oppressive.

Fortunately, he was on the other side.

This ability is almost impossible to achieve from a magical perspective—perhaps Inari and Red Rose have a way, but that would require a huge amount of magic power and a lot of time.

After all, astral magic naturally has a cognitive shielding effect, which is an extremely powerful form of mental protection.

After Xia Taotao finished explaining the whole story, and upon hearing the news that "Meng Donghua is Xia Youyou," Su Tianqing still pretended to be surprised and said:

"Your sister is Meng Donghua?... Youyou?"

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it at first, but she did call out my name, so I had to believe it."

Xia Taotao lowered her head, slurped up the last bite of noodles in her bowl, and let out a long sigh.

"But how should I put it... I actually feel a sense of relief."

"I've always been worried about Youyou. But after finding out that she is Meng Donghua, I suddenly realized that she is strong enough to protect herself."

"It felt like a burden had suddenly been lifted off my shoulders, and I felt much lighter."

At this point, Xia Taotao grinned, looking slightly embarrassed.

"But..."

"What I did to Meng Donghua before... still makes me feel a little uneasy..."

"She's forgiven you, hasn't she? You two seem to be getting along pretty well," Hellcat, sitting next to him, chimed in.

"And speaking of which, Tao Tao, could you explain why Meng Donghua wants to join us?"

"...I can't reach it!"

The rabbit shrugged, utterly helpless.

"I was almost consumed by anger and nearly lost my will. I was able to control myself thanks to Youyou, but I don't know why she wanted to join us."

"Maybe Youyou is more attached to you than we think, which is why she's considering following you," Xinyuehu chimed in.

I have to find a way to dissuade Xia Youyou from this idea. Su Tianqing thought to herself.

If she were really allowed to rebel, this child might just become even more terrifying than Xia Taotao—

A person who can decisively abandon the righteous magical girl system for the sake of her sister will definitely become a fearsome villain in the future.

Moreover, her act of turning against her own side sounds outrageous. Although it may be funny to hear, it might affect her image among her fans.

I can't let my own amusement interfere with other people's life events and future development; that's not my philosophy on having fun.

This fox is a villain with absolute principles!

"Leave this to me, I'll go and talk to her," the fox spirit said.

"Also, Tao Tao, you have to come along too."

The three villains exchanged glances. Xia Taotao wanted to say something, but was glared at by the cat and fox at the same time, so she silently shrank her neck and nodded.

……

The door to the interrogation room next door opened.

Marigold was anxiously advising Meng Donghua, who seemed to realize that her words had been somewhat abrupt and was now pondering them with distress.

"Meng Donghua, please don't act impulsively! If you leave with your sister, what will happen to the residents of Xuecheng and your family!"

"I know all this... But, my sister is the Cheshire Rabbit. If I don't go with her, she might abandon me again... Ah..."

Hearing the door open, the two turned to look at Heart Moon Fox and Hellcat standing at the door, as well as Cheshire Rabbit being held by the two.

"Miss Mengdonghua, are you feeling better? Did Miss Jinzhanhua comfort her properly?"

"How should I put it..."

Marigold scratched her cheek, revealing a helpless, bitter smile.

"Meng Donghua is much better than yesterday, but she's still a bit stubborn."

"I'm not being stubborn... I just wanted to be with you, senior..."

The rabbit girl said timidly, pouting with a wronged expression.

The golden-haired fox girl sat down next to Meng Donghua, smiled, and summoned her familiar to bring the pink-purple girl a cup of warm water.

"Have a drink of water and take a break, how about you have a quick chat with me, Fox?"

"Mmm... Mmm."

The rabbit girl nodded gently, instantly captivated by the fox girl's soft and delicate voice beside her, becoming as obedient as a domesticated little rabbit.

"Miss Yumefuka, I remember you're a magical girl supported by stargazers. Why would you want to join my villainous ranks?"

"because……"

The girl turned to look at the Cheshire Rabbit sitting not far away, opened her mouth slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said as if she had made up her mind:

"Because I want to stay with her, senior. If I don't join you, Fox-senpai, you might never have the chance to come back after you leave Snow City..."

"How can you say that? You can use teleportation magic to travel between Snow City and Rong City at any time. You can meet whenever you want."

Su Tianqing answered with a smile.

"And have you thought about it? Rabbit is studying in Chengdu right now. If you went to Chengdu too, what would happen to your studies?"

"this……"

Meng Donghua was stunned for a moment, her expression becoming much more somber.

Senior Fox is right. My sister has started her new studies in Chengdu, and I also need to study. It's unrealistic for me to cling to my sister.

"But... but I can transfer schools! I can contact the Hero Association, and I can go to Rongcheng to study!" Meng Donghua continued.

Su Tianqing had anticipated this.

"I see. Transferring schools is indeed one solution, but if you leave Snow City, Miss Marigold will be all alone here. Are you really willing to abandon your companions?"

Hearing this, Meng Donghua turned to look at Jin Zhanhua, who was sitting silently beside her, her gaze somewhat dazed.

"But...I..."

"Marigold, she's much stronger than me. She can handle really powerful monsters, and..."

"Besides, I'll only hold her back... I'm always clumsy, and if it weren't for me, Marigold wouldn't need to pay attention to my actions..."

"Nonsense! If it weren't for Meng Donghua interrupting the monster's attack, I don't know how badly I would have been injured!"

Marigold quickly interrupted Meng Donghua's self-talk and said to her.

"But……"

Seeing Meng Donghua facing a difficult choice, Su Tianqing smiled slightly.

"How about this, Miss Meng Donghua, I, Fox, design a suitable magical girl development plan for you?"

"Once you complete this growth plan, you should be old enough to graduate. Then you can apply to a school in Rongcheng and come live with Rabbit."

What do you think of this?
