Superman Termination Manual-Chapter 439 - 232 The Sloth Witch Invades the Alliance (2)

July 24th, Yandai Elementary School, the fifth floor of a teaching building.

The reddish-gold sunlight spread horizontally through the windows of the corridor, its mottled shadows dancing and swaying on a wooden door left slightly ajar.

On the door, characters from cartoons such as Pikachu, Iron Armor Xiao Bao, and Black Cat Sheriff were drawn with pencil. Time had eroded the sketches to the point of being barely recognizable, likely the remnants of some child’s pastime.

Soon, a faint sound of footsteps came from the outside corridor.

"Wait, what’s the rush, people won’t run away."

As the girl in the goth dress spoke, she pulled Magical Girl Xiaohongmao by the hand and pinned her against the doorframe, then glanced into the classroom at Shi Neian and asked, "What’s her code name?"

"Senior, she’s a newbie Magic Girl and doesn’t have a code name yet."

Xiaohongmao said expressionlessly, her head gently resting against the doorframe, her eyes fixated motionlessly on the goth-dressed girl facing her.

Upon hearing this, Magical Girl Ash withdrew her gaze from the newbie and met Xiaohongmao’s eyes.

She raised an eyebrow and continued, "You mean she just became a Magic Girl and rushed to join the Alliance?"

Xiaohongmao shook her head, "I’m not sure, I heard she signed the contract a few days ago." As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Shi Neian and the owl cradled in her arms.

"Alright then."

"Senior, you’re too close," Xiaohongmao suddenly warned, "Your breath is tickling my nose."

Ash then realized how close she and Xiaohongmao were, their noses nearly touching. Xiaohongmao’s back was against the doorframe, with no room to retreat.

Just then, Shi Neian and the owl inside the classroom turned their heads and looked at them.

Watching the scene, Shi Neian rubbed his non-existent dark circles and said gloomily, "No way, dude, are all the girls in the Alliance this gay?"

The owl shook its head and said sternly, "Don’t slander Miss Xiaohongmao."

"Ooh, that makes me even more excited," Shi Neian whispered, "What expression would Ash show if I captured Xiaohongmao and whipped her in front of her?"

"Omg, didn’t we make an agreement? We shouldn’t lay a hand on Xiaohongmao," the owl quickly said.

"Oh, then I’ll just capture Ash in front of Xiaohongmao..."

The owl cut off her daydreaming, "I think you could try, succeeding if she doesn’t turn you into a hornet’s nest. The most violent Magic Girl in Huanjing is this goth lunatic, we’d better stay as far away as we can, okay?" It paused, "And let me remind you one last time, really don’t provoke her, it’s just asking for trouble."

"Alright then, I’ll start by dominating the weaker Magic Girls, absorbing their magic power, and then I’ll deal with the goth lunatic," Shi Neian whispered, a barely visible smirk playing on his lips.

The owl shuddered, thinking to itself that he is always lazier than anyone else usually, but he becomes oddly enthusiastic when it comes to dominating Magic Girls. No wonder his Witchified name is "The Witch of Sloth and Lust," the name really fits the person.

While the two were whispering, Magical Girl Ash noticed their gazes, glanced sideways, and her ears turned a slight red.

She quickly let go of Xiaohongmao’s hand and created a small distance between them.

"Thanks."

Xiaohongmao lowered her head and adjusted her wrist, which bore the imprint of her grip.

Magical Girl Ash raised her pale hand to her forehead and sighed lightly.

Honestly, she really found it hard to maintain a sense of distance from Xiaohongmao: with her robotic personality, dazed expressions, and an eternally fixed facial expression, she sometimes seemed like a penguin who had come from Antarctica to visit the human world. Who could maintain boundaries with such a penguin-like creature?

It was too tempting to just reach out, hold her hand, or pat her head.

But she had to admit, Xiaohongmao might seem clueless at times, yet she turned surprisingly playful on certain occasions, making her hard to figure out.

"Do you normally corner people like this, senior?" Xiaohongmao suddenly asked.

"Where did you learn the term ’cornering’? Even if you have a smartphone, can you not spend all day online learning these weird terms?" Ash said, clearly annoyed, "Besides, wasn’t it you who had rushed to pull me..."

Before she could finish, Xiaohongmao cut her off: "Sorry, it’s all my fault for harboring ill intentions and setting a trap to get cornered by you, causing you to lose face in front of the newbie. You are completely blameless, senior, it’s all us with garbage in our little girl..."

Magical Girl Ash quickly covered Xiaohongmao’s mouth before she could launch into her classic chant.

"Stop."

Xiaohongmao tilted her head, giving her an innocent look like a little cat.

"I’m speechless, truly speechless," Magical Girl Ash said irritably, took a deep breath, and added authoritatively, "Let’s go inside, and you aren’t allowed to speak. Let me ask the questions, okay?"

Xiaohongmao couldn’t speak, so she just nodded silently.

"Then let’s go."

After that, Magical Girl Ash released her black leather-clad hand from Xiaohongmao’s mouth and walked ahead.

Under the watchful eyes of Shi Neian and the owl, she moved to the opposite side and pulled up a chair in front of the conference table to sit down.

She crossed her legs, slightly lifted her cool face, and her unfriendly eyes surveyed the two, as if she was desperately trying to regain some ground.
