Chapter 235: Chapter 159 Three Quarters of a Friend_3

“What’s the difference between this and regular ‘magic power supply’?” Ash asked.

“It smells really good,” Xiaohongmao sniffed and said in a low voice.

Magical Girl Ash nodded and explained, “Exactly, giving the card a pleasant fragrance is a characteristic that comes with adding ‘Spirit Fragrance Wood’ during the card-making process.”

“I see, so can I start making cards now?”

“Wait a few days, right now neither your control precision over magic power nor your magic power reserves are up to the mark,” Ash said, “And you’d better not practice alone at home in secret. Because if you accidentally take out the Comet Fragment and can’t put it back, or if the fragment gets damaged, your body will experience some abnormalities.”

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, her tone a mixture of wistfulness and sarcasm, “A number of Magic Girls died that way in the past. I have to say, they were really stupid.”

“Got it, I’ll listen to my senior and practice more before starting card crafting,” Xiaohongmao nodded.

“That’s it for today then, both tasks at hand are done,” Magical Girl Ash said, glancing over at the brain imaging helmet on the conference table, “Should I take you home?”

Xiaohongmao hung her head and stayed silent for a while, then suddenly looked up with a pitiful expression, “Senior, can I just borrow the helmet to play with for one day?”

“You really want to play with it that much?”

“It seems fun. We poor kids who scavenge through trash haven’t seen this kind of toy.”

“Hey hey, this is not a toy,” Ash sighed with a hand to her forehead, “Alright, one day shouldn’t be a problem, just bring it back here tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you, senior, love you.”

Magical Girl Ash was taken aback at first, then turned her head with a shiver, giving her an odd look as she asked, “When did you learn to say such cheesy stuff?”

Xiaohongmao tilted her head and said expressionlessly, “Doesn’t senior talk to her family like that? Like ‘sister loves you’, ‘brother loves you’ and the sort?”

At those words, the pallor of the gothic dress girl’s face immediately flushed red. She opened her mouth and poked Xiaohongmao’s cheek with her hand, frowning in quick protest.

“Stop, stop, STOP! Sister loves you is enough, I did say that. But what the hell is brother loves you?!”

“It’s okay, it doesn’t affect my love for senior,” Xiaohongmao said seriously.

“If you say such cheesy things again, I’ll shoot you with Cinderella. We’re just coworkers, get it?”

“Not friends?”

“Half a friend,” Magical Girl Ash muttered with a downcast face, speaking coldly, “To prevent you from dying a horrible death like my previous friend one day, which would upset me, I’d rather consider you half a friend.”

“Then half a friend it is. I’ll open your heart, strive to become three-quarters of a friend in your eyes, and then move on to becoming a full-fledged friend.”

Upon hearing this, Magical Girl Ash paused, then turned her cheek and chuckled softly, one hand on the table and the other lifting a finger to poke Xiaohongmao’s cheek again.

“Are you an idiot?”

After saying that, she quickly got up from the conference table and walked out of the classroom at a steady pace. She opened her magic umbrella, Cinderella, from the corridor and then glanced sideways at Xiaohongmao.

“I won’t take you today, get home by yourself,”

“Okay, bye-bye, senior.”

As her voice fell, Cinderella’s umbrella unfolded, and the gothic dress girl holding the handle soared into the clear sky, leaving a trail of grey magic ripples lingering in the air.

In the classroom, Xiaohongmao watched the scene and slowly lowered her eyes to the brain imaging helmet in her arms.

“One day, huh?”

“Then I must find a way today to lure Che Zhengchen out of the Superhero Association building, then hypnotize him to recall the images from when he was infested by the bug, and see if I can use the brain imaging helmet to replicate Gastella’s appearance from his memories…”
