Seeing the red-faced, small-breasted Kosia and the squinting Jingqing, two magical girls who were already sharpening their blades, glaring at Xiao Ying with her excellent Zuan-style capabilities, Kim Erise, who was biting her lollipop, took a deep breath and shouted with all her might, avoiding the tragic end of the council hall being flipped over again.
“Kosia, how many members of the Communist Party do you have right now?”
“Huh?” The red-twintailed girl, who was suddenly asked in a serious manner, was taken aback, and then silently counted in her heart,
“About a hundred people, what’s up?”
“The market price for slaves in Chaska is one hundred for one Obsidian Seed, right?” She pulled a small, black spinning top from the small white ball on her waist and threw it at the opposite side.
“So, according to Chaska’s laws, it is reasonable for me to buy these humans, right?”
“…Well,” Kosia, who caught the Obsidian Seed, thought for a moment, then put it away, her halberd planted on the ground, and pouted,
“Hmph, this lady isn’t selling them to you because she’s too lazy to make a big deal out of it – by the way, if Miemie Eye had paid earlier, things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
“Ara ara, the problem is that the people of the Communist Party were originally the new human experimental subjects that we, Tamon, scheduled,” Jingqing gently stroked her face and replied leisurely,
“They should have been returned free of charge, so even if they are cheap, I can’t buy them, this is a matter of dignity and sovereignty – I’ll owe you a favor this time, Hyperglycemia.”
“Don’t be so quick to thank me, Miemie Eye, I didn’t do this to be a good person who mediates conflicts,” Kim Erise turned to the blue princess cut girl and shook her index finger gently,
“I, I plan to hire these Communist Party members to work with me to build Silver Shore City – as for the price, you decide.”
“In that case, it’s not impossible, anyway, I also have some alternative experimental subjects – then ten Obsidian Seeds will do.”
“You’re really asking for a lot,” The red-haired girl, with her arms crossed, grinned,
“Three Obsidian Seeds, no more, or I won’t take them, and I’ll return them directly to you.”
“That works too.”
Jingqing smiled slightly, nodded gently in agreement, and took the three black spinning tops thrown at her while putting away the iron flail.
Seeing the situation ease, Xiao Ying also retracted the umbrella handle to its normal size, and heaved a sigh of relief as she adjusted her glasses.
At least, the council hall today was barely preserved – although a door was still lost, it was much better than the mess and near collapse after each previous incident.
“Oh yeah,” Looking at the two magical girls who had released their battle postures, Kim Erise pressed on,
“I will be recruiting magical girls to Silver Shore City as my helpers in the long run.
There is no upper limit on the number, the selection assessment will not be too harsh, and the prices are all negotiable. It depends on whether the two of you are willing.”
“Ko-Ko-Ko-Ko, if you say so, this lady won’t be polite,” Kosia, who had a sinister smile, put away the halberd, and tidied up the somewhat messy red and black long gloves,
“For your sake, this lady will reluctantly list a list to support your great construction project after she goes back.”
“Ara ara, those magical girls are afraid that you want to squeeze out the potential enemies long ago,” Jingqing, elegantly bent over and adjusted her translucent crystal high heels, pierced the real meaning of the other party’s words,
“However, using this method to get rid of some restless political opponents is indeed a good idea.”
“That’s right,” The red-haired girl, who had taken the lollipop stick out of her mouth, tossed it out with a triumphant expression, and after drawing a beautiful arc in the air, it landed accurately in the distant trash can,
“Then I will wait for your two lists, I’ll take my leave now, farewell.”
“As expected of Erise, she easily did what I couldn’t do, successfully preventing the further conflict of those two troublemakers.”
Standing in the slowly descending elevator, Xiao Ying held the folding umbrella excitedly, and looked at her companion with a face full of adoration: “I knew, there’s no one better suited than you to be the mayor of Silver Shore City.”
“Those two idiots,” Kim Erise, who stuffed a strawberry lollipop into her mouth, waved her hand and said with a leisurely expression,
“Actually, they don’t care about the people of the Communist Party at all: Kosia is already busy enough dealing with the eight hundred million humans in Chaska, and doesn’t care about the extra hundred slaves.
Even if she accepts them, she’ll just be sent to some corner of the back area regardless of their lives; You know Jingqing’s personality, do you think she still cares about the few Communist Party members who don’t follow her orders?
She’s already regarded them as pawns, and it’s estimated that they will be treated as garbage when they return to Tamon.”
“Then why did they argue with each other over these hundred-plus humans to the point of turning red in the face, and even fighting?”
“Isn’t it because of face?” The red-haired girl, leaning her forehead against the glass of the outdoor elevator, looked at the tall buildings outside the window and murmured,
“Whether it’s Chaska, which has the widest territory, the richest resources, and the largest population, or Tamon, which has the strongest quality and the most rapid development, both want to be the boss of the Autonomous Federation and hold the final say.
So even such a small matter cannot be easily compromised, otherwise, it means losing face and dignity, and letting the other party take the upper hand.”
“Sigh, it would be better to unite and fight against the United Nations,” Xiao Ying sighed silently as she helplessly took off her glasses and rubbed her dark circles,
“If things go on like this, the Autonomous Federation will be torn apart sooner or later, and even be dissolved on the spot.”
“It’s normal, it’s not like the wartime anymore: After the peace treaty was signed, the magical girls who had gained autonomy and occupied a large amount of territory had lost their goal of uniting:
To fight against humans, they all began to calculate their own small tricks, and naturally, they were not as united as before – you should have understood this from the moment they ostracized me from the council.”
“Sigh, I still vaguely remember, when I signed a contract with the Elf Dragon, it said that only girls with pure hearts could become magical girls.”
“This is true,” The lollipop stick in Kim Erise’s mouth was twitching up and down, and she slowly smoothed her red ponytail,
“At first, we who signed the contract with it were naturally pure-hearted. We became magical girls with dreams of wanting to realize some beautiful wishes, and we hoped that our power could make the world a better place.
And you see the result, what happened when our identities were finally exposed and our existence was made public?
Fear, confusion, hatred, rejection – of course, I don’t deny that there were many people who tried to build a peaceful and beautiful world with magical girls;
But it is obvious that this effort failed and led to a three-year-long all-out war, with the death of as many as two hundred million people before it was barely stopped.
Then, the question also arises, under such circumstances, how many magical girls do you think can maintain their previous innocence and kindness?
Not to mention, every magical girl who holds a position in the council and other high-level official positions, including you and me, has a past filled with darkness and despair;
And how many people do you think will be able to successfully heal their hearts that are riddled with holes, and strive not to drown themselves in the dark abyss of the past?”
The black-haired girl didn’t say anything, just put away the folded umbrella silently, and stood there in a daze.
“Don’t be discouraged, because we still have two pieces of good news,” Kim Erise, who opened the elevator door, put her arm around Xiao Ying’s shoulder and walked out, starting to comfort the other party who was in low spirits:
“First of all, the United Nations is also torn apart, the human forces are never a monolith, and although there are many politicians who are trying to incite hatred against magical girls, the effect is not ideal at all – especially after many people are tired of the displacement caused by the war.
Secondly, I’m here, there is a magical girl who has resurfaced from a bottomless black water pool, and will do her best to gather other like-minded humans and magical girls, and is determined to operate Silver Shore City well.
Is this not a very passionate thing, to set an example for the world and point out a different path than before?
Just as you told me before, to bet everything to save this fragmented world, and to protect our beloved relatives and best friends, right?”
“That’s right.”
Whether it was because she was amused by the somewhat middle-two remarks or was truly encouraged, Xiao Ying’s face was again filled with a smile, and she bowed to the red-haired girl in a standard manner,
“Thank you, Erise, and thank you for all you have done for the world.”
“Tsk tsk tsk,” Kim Erise, who shook her index finger, gently shook her head,
“Thank you is unnecessary, we’ve already reached this stage and it can be said that we can’t help ourselves, there’s nothing to thank, not to mention, instead of having that time to comfort me with words, why don’t you support me more in action, such as providing material and manpower support or something?”
“Don’t worry,” Xiao Ying, who took off her glasses again, wiped her slightly moist eyes and replied firmly,
“I will support your Silver Shore City as much as possible within the scope of my current rights.”
“Hehe, I’m relieved to hear you say that,” The red-haired girl, who walked out of City Hall, patted the other party’s shoulder and stretched her body with a big stretch, welcoming the refreshing breeze blowing towards her,
“Oh yeah, I haven’t been to the Brussels district for a long time, recommend the best department store here, I’m going to buy a set of bedroom furniture, clothes, and other daily necessities for our dear one.”
“Oh?” Hearing this, the black-haired girl suddenly became excited and revealed a mischievous smile,
“Could it be that you and Mo have finally reached that step? When can I drink your wedding wine?
Where are you two planning to hold a grand celebration? Do you want me to recommend a few places for your honeymoon…”
“Stop, stop, stop, stop, don’t make a fuss,” Kim Erise, who rolled her eyes, knew that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly tried to stop Xiao Ying’s brain that was flashing with star eyes,
“It’s for the little guy I just adopted, not her, don’t get the wrong idea.”
However, this seemed to encourage the other party’s fantasy:
“Wow, I didn’t expect you two to skip the wedding and adopt a child directly! Why didn’t you tell me?
I still want to be her godmother~ In that case, I’ll indirectly have a lovely child to enjoy…”
“Don’t go further and further down the strange road, hey!”
