An Expert Is Here

After finishing her bath, Yu Dun discovered that the room had already been cleaned spotlessly, with Flona and Suzuki Megumi sitting on chairs and resting.

“Xiao Hui, can we discuss changing into a different outfit?”

He tugged at the skirt on his body with great inner conflict, his small face flushed red with embarrassment.

It felt cool underneath, and he truly didn’t understand why girls would get used to wearing this kind of clothing.

So cute.

Suzuki Megumi wore a smile on her face, looking extremely pleased, clearly having planned this in advance.

“The clothes I bought for you and you’re still not happy? It’s way better than you just wearing an oversized T-shirt earlier.”

“Fine then.”

Yu Dun sighed.

With his current situation, he couldn’t resist Suzuki Megumi at all, so he shifted his gaze to Flona, who was watching the scene unfold from the sidelines, “Xiao Fu, you came here for Uru, right?”

“How did you know?” Flona remembered that she hadn’t mentioned Uru before.

“Because girls like you coming to ‘Demon Extermination’ to consult about Uru hasn’t been happening for just a day or two, but I still have to say this—being contracted by Uru into becoming a magical girl is not a good thing.”

Flona shook her head, “Then you’ve misunderstood me. Although I did come for Uru, I’m not here to become a magical girl.”

“Oh?”

Yu Dun became interested.

Someone who wasn’t here to contract with Uru was truly rare.

Normally, the moment he said something bad about Uru, people would already start scolding him.

“Since your organization understands that contracts aren’t a good thing, can I take it that you know something different? For example, witches…”

Flona didn’t bother hiding anything.

She had originally thought that “Demon Extermination” would be a fairly large organization like the Adventurers’ Association.

She was even prepared to join internally and then probe for information.

But after arriving at the branch, she realized that there was only one person left here.

Yu Dun spoke very directly and didn’t hide things during conversation.

So Flona changed her approach.

Joining would be too time-consuming—cooperation and exchanging information would be much more convenient.

“You even know that!” Yu Dun widened his eyes excitedly, stepping on the chair, placing both hands on the table, and locking eyes with Flona.

“What are you talking about?” Suzuki Megumi was the only one who didn’t understand what was going on.

“Xiao Hui, how about you step out for a bit?” Yu Dun looked at Suzuki Megumi apologetically, as this wasn’t something ordinary people should know.

“Alright then, I’ll go buy groceries first.” Seeing that they had something to hide from her, Suzuki Megumi didn’t pry further and stood up to leave.

After confirming that Suzuki Megumi had gone far away, Yu Dun asked, “You said you came for Uru—how can you prove it?”

He had to admit that Flona knowing about witches was already extraordinary, but Yu Dun was still wary.

Flona calmly asked in return, “How do you want me to prove it?”

Yu Dun lightly tapped the tabletop with his fingers and probed, “Last time Xiao Hui mentioned that you could identify the curse on her.

I won’t ask about the exact effects of your ability.

I just want to know—can you see the true identities of the magical girls Silver Moon and Daylight?”

Hearing this, Flona hesitated for a moment.

“I can see their true identities.

But may I first ask why you want to know their real identities?”

“You really can see them!”

Yu Dun was once again shocked by Flona.

He anxiously reached into his pocket, wanting to take out a cigarette to calm down, but all he could find were lollipops—a whole bunch of them.

That Xiao Hui really treats me like a kid.

I’m a grown man—what kind of dignity is there in sucking on a lollipop?

Forget it, I won’t eat it.

Just as he was about to put the candy back, the moment he saw it, his cravings were stirred, and his hand disobeyed his will.

He peeled open the wrapper and stuffed the lollipop into his mouth.

Damn, it’s really sweet!

Seeing Yu Dun squint his eyes happily, Flona thought, “Looks like after turning into a little girl, his mentality has also shifted in that direction.”

Let the eyeball record this first.

This kind of academic research is something Abigail would really like.

When she comes to this world for a visit in the future, she can show her this.

Compared to magical girls, special ability users felt more like a local specialty here.

After all, Flona’s side also had magic, but beings who could use abilities without relying on magic power were much more interesting.

“I lost my composure.” Being stared at by Flona, Yu Dun felt extremely embarrassed, “Where were we just now?”

“Why you want to know the real identities of magical girls.”

“Right! You also know that magical girls can fall into corruption and become witches.

Because of that, our organization once considered supervising magical girls.”

But the problem was that the primary condition for supervising magical girls was locking onto their true forms, and they didn’t have that ability.

That intention of supervision ultimately had to be abandoned.

“May I ask if you have a method to suppress malice?”

“Malice is…” Yu Dun was confused.

Flona refused seriously, “Then I’m sorry, I won’t help you find the true identities of magical girls.”

Even though Yu Dun’s words sounded good, they didn’t solve the actual problem of malice.

Once magical girls transformed into witches, in the end they could only be killed.

It was better to let them watch Xi Bai and the others themselves.

“Why?”

“There are things I can’t say any further.

I hope you can provide corresponding information in exchange, such as a way to find Uru.”

Yu Dun wiped his sweat with a tissue, realizing that this girl was far from simple, “I can’t make that decision. Let me ask my superiors.”

“Then I’ll trouble you.

Once there’s news, please contact me again.

By the way, the Monster King of Lin’an City has already set its sights on Qingteng City.”

Outside the room, Suzuki Megumi ran into Flona, who was just coming out.

Holding the groceries in her hands, she asked, “I’m about to cook. Aren’t you staying to eat together?”

“Thank you, but Xi Bai is getting out of school.”

She still had to hurry back to feed Xi Bai.

“Old Yu, did you bully Flona?

Otherwise, why did she leave in such a hurry?” Suzuki Megumi questioned him.

Facing her tone, Yu Dun showed a bitter smile, “How could I? I can’t bully her.”

From start to finish, the initiative in the conversation had always been in Flona’s hands.

Talking with Flona was even more exhausting than talking with his superiors.

Yu Dun also had a feeling that if he ever made a move against Flona, he would likely die miserably.

But… the Monster King of Lin’an City?

That needed serious investigation.

Yu Dun’s gaze turned sharp.

【She didn’t give anything in return. Why did you still send out a piece of information at the end, my lord?】

Even if it was free intelligence provided by the Collector, the eyeball still felt it was a loss.

“Providing one piece of information can boost my credibility, and since it’s an organization opposing Uru, they definitely won’t sit idle over something as major as the Monster King.”

It was equivalent to helping her resolve one trouble—why not?

【I don’t understand. Listening to your conversation felt messy too.】

“Not understanding is fine. That way, communication won’t be so tiring.”

Flona couldn’t help but think—if everyone were affected by Xi Bai’s frozen thinking, conversations would become much simpler.

Speaking of Xi Bai…

She suddenly had an idea, “Eyeball, do you think if I go pick up Xi Bai from school directly, it would give her a surprise?”

In the morning, Xi Bai had run off too fast, and she hadn’t had time to confess her identity.

【As long as you’re happy, my lord.】

The eyeball felt deeply helpless.

Before, it was just responsible for cooking and waking her up.

Now it even picks her up after school, and you still say you’re not her mother!

…

“Personally, I think you can just ask Flona directly. She’d definitely be happy to tell you.”

At the school gate, Hoshino Sakuo’s words kept echoing in Kirishima Xi Bai’s mind.

“Happy to tell me… really?”

Alright!

“Since Sakuo said so, I’ll go find Flona and ask clearly.”

Xi Bai secretly encouraged herself in her heart.

Why is Flona here?

Coincidentally, Flona also entered Xi Bai’s field of vision.

But before Xi Bai could react, a purple figure suddenly rushed in from the side.

That purple-haired girl moved urgently and quickly.

When she reached Flona, she immediately stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Flona’s neck, leaned her head in, and was about to kiss her.

Where did this girl come from again?!

Let go of Flona right now!
