the next morning.
As Su Tianqing quickly washed up and embarked on her treasure hunt, she was still pondering a question:
In the final sprint of the Shadow of Stars, this fox is going to pull off a big stunt. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
A major event comparable to the Chengdu Star Realm Jellyfish Incident, shaking the Snow City Hero Association, and capable of making Xia Taotao bloom with the Shadow of Stars.
But what kind of power could be so great? And how can the conditions for the Starry Shadow to bloom be met?
"First, let's make one thing clear."
Su Tianqing muttered to herself,
"This job requires keeping the hyacinths occupied and preventing them from causing trouble."
"This means it has to be sensational enough, big enough news, enough to attract the attention of hyacinths, otherwise..."
"...Wait a minute, if that's the case, I and Xiaoyu will also be restrained."
Thinking of this, the golden-haired fox girl was in a dilemma, her tail drooping behind her and swaying back and forth.
Thinking about it carefully, both sides have a total of four Star Shadows, with melee firepower, summoning, and support all available. What can withstand such a luxurious lineup?
Jormungandr, whose astral shield was overflowing, was one example, but it had already been shattered by the magic of Sirius, and Jormungandr was completely unable to replicate an astral shield of that size, so it was directly eliminated.
Even the BOSS monster [Behemoth, the Pseudo-Beast] that I created myself would find it difficult to withstand the attacks of the three Star Shadows for long.
...How about we contact someone else?
Su Tianqing immediately thought of some people she was somewhat familiar with—
【Red Rose】 and 【Mercury】 were very active during the magic storm a while ago, fighting monsters everywhere. They seem to have some free time these days. How about letting them make a cameo appearance as the BOSS?
Imagining the scene of Mercury of the Stars battling the Hellcat of the Black Hole in her mind, Su Tianqing suddenly turned around. The catgirl, whose attention was being drawn to the fox's tail, shuddered and immediately looked back at the front.
"Little fish!"
"W-What is it?!" The catgirl's tail bristled violently.
Thinking he'd been caught secretly tugging at his tail, Nan Jiayu was about to apologize when she heard the fox spirit ask him:
"Little fish, do you know Mercury?"
"...Which Mercury?"
"The one with the scythe, [Azure Reaper]."
"Oh, you mean her? Of course I know her." Nan Jiayu looked like she suddenly realized.
"What happened to her? Tianqing, did you see the news?"
"Not really... I was just wondering, Little Fish, could you beat Senior Mercury?"
“…………”
Nan Jiayu's expression gradually relaxed; at least Tian Qing hadn't noticed that she had been secretly rubbing against her tail.
But soon, the catgirl's expression turned puzzled, and she said in confusion:
"Tianqing, are you...are you serious?"
"Although I've never actually fought Mercury, she can physically travel through interstellar realms. Do I really want to fight someone like her?"
"...That seems to be true." Su Tianqing blinked and replied.
Little Fish is right.
Red Rose can heal astral rifts with her bare hands, and Mercury can traverse the astral plane with his physical body. He can even retrieve the Mercury Codex from the entrance to the abyss beyond the astral plane. His strength is truly unimaginable.
Moreover, it's unlikely that either of them would play the BOSS, especially Red Rose.
How about letting Inari-san be the BOSS?
Let's not. Ms. Inari is busy researching and optimizing therapies. Disturbing her now would only cause more unnecessary trouble.
But how exactly can we hold everyone back...?
"Ding-dong~"
The simultaneous ringing of a text message alert caught their attention.
Su Tianqing reached into her bag for her phone, but Nan Jiayu pulled it out first, glanced at the messages on the screen, and exclaimed in surprise:
"A notice from the Hero Association?"
"Is this the time to issue a notice?"
The fox spirit blinked and leaned closer in surprise.
They haven't even posted anything yet, and they haven't even found out the location or method of the attack, so how come the Hero Association has already started evacuating people?
But after reading the message, the cat and fox suddenly realized:
[Announcement from the Snow City Heroes Association]
[News from the Liaocheng Magical Girl Squad: Stargazers have detected a new astral magic storm forming, which will begin to affect our city on a large scale starting at noon today.]
[It is reported that this storm will last for 48 to 72 hours. Citizens are advised to pay close attention to evacuation information. We will do our utmost to protect the personal safety and property of citizens.]
"Snapped!"
Su Tianqing was so excited she almost jumped up from the spot.
What's that saying? "Speak of red roses, and red roses arrive!" Misfortune never comes singly!
Oh no, it should be that I wanted to eat and someone just handed me a bowl and chopsticks!
Astral magic storms, extreme weather conditions from the astral plane, make the magic in the mortal realm more abundant, directly causing monsters far more powerful than before to appear in various places.
I thought this storm was over, but I didn't expect a new one to come.
"Ah, this seems quite troublesome." After reading the announcement, Nan Jiayu scratched her cheek, looking somewhat worried.
During the peak of the last storm, Tian Qing and I, the two villains, also participated in the city defense work of Rongcheng. Afterwards, we even received thanks and awards from the Rongcheng Association.
We encountered another magical storm in Snow City, could it be...?
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Su Tianqing gave a thumbs up, full of confidence.
He had already set up a temporary villainous rooftop in Snow City. Now, all he needed to do was arrange for the twelve Zodiac Witches to guard the rooftop, and he could perfectly defend every corner of Snow City.
After he announces the defense update, Hyacinth will definitely not trust him and will return to Snow City to observe and take precautions.
This eliminates the biggest variable that could affect the situation!
……but.
Upon further reflection, Su Tianqing fell into deep thought again.
Hyacinths are sorted out, but what about myself and Little Fish? And how do I deal with Aurora and the two dogs?
The little fish is easy to handle; just cling to her and say some nice things to keep her by your side. But the behavior of that Bernese Mountain dog is a bit harder to control.
I can't possibly tell Aurora about my plans, because that would damage my image in her eyes.
This has become the only problem I'm currently facing:
How can we accurately select the Bunny Team to carry out our plan while the Magic Storm is present, and at the same time avoid interference from other teams?
"Hmm...it's really hard to think about..."
Feeling her brain was starting to overload, Su Tianqing quickly shook her head to calm her restless thoughts.
In short, let the automatic-transmission stargazer fox subtly hint to Bai Ling and Nan Xiaofeng. If all goes well, they should be able to get things done smoothly.
Just as she was arranging the familiar plan, Su Tianqing suddenly remembered something she had almost forgotten:
Secret props.
...Yes, I still have the secret manual I can use.
When you're at your wit's end and have no other options, why not just pull out a little fox gadget and you're good to go!
After having her familiars search high and low, Su Tianqing actually found something that had been gathering dust in the warehouse:
[Powerful Magic Sealing Device]
as well as……
Weather Controller
A sudden, heavy snowfall blanketed Silver Sand Valley, cutting off all communication between the teams!
Then, it's time for this fox's show!
