The girl slowly opened her eyes, tiny beads of sweat still on her forehead.
“Was that… a dream?”
Li Lu had a dream. In it, she became Radiant Starlight and killed Feng Zhiling in a very cruel way.
She used Feng Zhiling’s own specialty. In a one-on-one fight, she completely crushed Feng Zhiling’s confidence, then blasted Feng Zhiling’s limbs apart piece by piece with magic cannons.
Finally, she executed Feng Zhiling.
And after that…
She saw magical girls everywhere, filling the sky and earth.
Every face was grim, as if they stood before a true disaster capable of destroying the world.
“Really… just a dream?”
If it was only a dream, then it had been far too real.
Feng Zhiling’s agonized wails still echoed in her ears. The grief far surpassed the screams she had heard yesterday when she beat Feng Zhiling up.
“Hmm… forget it, forget it.” Li Lu shrugged carelessly, the grim expression on her face replaced by ease.
She couldn’t be bothered to think about that stuff. Instead of dwelling on random things, why not explore Miss Rival’s home?
She didn’t know if it was because she had inherited the fatigue from Miss Rival’s body, but after returning yesterday, she had only lain in bed playing on her phone for a while before sleeping straight through to dawn.
That was probably why she’d had such a strange dream, right?
Li Lu stood up and stretched lazily. “Mmm~”
“Right, right. Let me find today’s outfit~”
Smiling, she walked to the wardrobe and opened the doors, carefully studying the clothes inside.
Li Lu didn’t have many casual clothes. After all, she was a student, and most of the time she had to wear her uniform.
Fortunately, the uniform was cute, a short-sleeved shirt and skirt that looked like good quality.
“Mmm, let me see… today I’ll wear white tights!”
Because she had to wear the uniform, the only things Li Lu could freely choose were socks and shoes.
Even so, she was happy.
This was Li Lu’s body, after all! The Li Lu who had greeted her with a magic cannon the first time they met!
Now it not only let her push it around, she could make it wear whatever she wanted!
“Hum~ hum~” Li Lu hummed an unknown tune, then sat on the bed and stuffed her two pale little feet into the tights.
“Heave-ho~”
Snap.
Li Lu gave a gentle pull, and the snap of the tights echoed through the room.
She nodded in satisfaction, then put on the uniform as well.
Once dressed, Li Lu lightly lifted the hem of her skirt and made one strange expression after another in the mirror.
Now she pinched her own face, now deliberately stretched her ears, now stuck out her tongue.
“Pfft~”
Good… this way, when she looked at Li Lu’s face, it wouldn’t seem so scary.
Though, to be fair, Li Lu’s cold little face made these weird expressions look pretty funny~
“Hoo… okay, okay, that’s enough~”
If she kept playing and Miss Rival found out, it wouldn’t be good.
Li Lu smiled and lightly loosened her muscles, then put her hand on the doorknob and pressed down.
“Mmm~ I wonder what Mengjian Yue and Feng Zhiling will try today~”
“Maybe they’ll do something unexpected… but what difficult moves could those little brats have?” Li Lu smirked disdainfully.
“Instead of thinking about that, I should think about breakfast.”
Li Lu’s whole body radiated laziness, the exact opposite of Miss Rival’s earlier fatigue.
“Li Lu-sama, is steak and fried eggs okay for breakfast?”
“Mmm, steak and fried eggs sounds good, but I don’t think we have… hmm?”
Li Lu froze mid-sentence.
Snap.
“Who’s talking!” She instantly swung her fist on reflex, and the girl who had asked her was sent flying.
“Mew!”
The girl who had suddenly spoken to Li Lu was punched away and let out a cute moan.
Li Lu’s eyes widened in shock at the red-haired magical girl curled up in front of her.
“Wha, what is this?!”
“You, Feng Zhiling? What’s wrong with you? No, how did you get in!”
This was her home. Why would she wake up and see Feng Zhiling here?
Was this revenge coming that fast?!
Damn. If she had woken up a little later, she might have been killed in her bed by this red-haired brat!
“Uu…”
Feng Zhiling didn’t answer Li Lu’s question. Her body trembled, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
But when Li Lu saw her face clearly, Li Lu froze completely.
The girl’s tender pretty face was flushed bright red, and her crimson eyes were full of daze.
“Just…”
“Just?” Li Lu paused, watching Feng Zhiling warily.
“Just this, Li Lu-sama!” She pounced like a starving tiger, at a speed almost impossible to follow.
“Hey!!”
No matter how vigilant Li Lu was, she couldn’t react in time to Feng Zhiling’s superhuman physique.
This girl had been beaten like that yesterday, and today she showed up as if nothing had happened. It was honestly terrifying.
Feng Zhiling grabbed Li Lu’s fist, her face flushed, a somewhat outrageous smile at the corner of her mouth.
“Heh, hehehe, this is it, this is it. More, I want more, Li Lu-sama!”
“Uwaa, disgusting! Drool, drool is dripping on my hand, let go!!”
Li Lu pushed at her with a disgusted expression, but Feng Zhiling seemed to have lost all shame. No matter how Li Lu pushed, she only pressed closer.
“Hey! Get away, you… pervert!” Li Lu’s patience reached its limit. She clenched her small fist and threw two punches at Feng Zhiling’s face.
“Puh!”
Feng Zhiling flew backward and lay in the corner twitching.
Li Lu clenched her fists, completely at a loss.
What, what was going on?!
Why was Feng Zhiling here? Why had she suddenly turned into a pervert? Was she still not awake?! Should she go back to sleep?!
“Uu…”
While Li Lu was thinking, Feng Zhiling, curled up in the corner, moved again.
“Eek!” Li Lu trembled slightly. Remembering Feng Zhiling’s expression from before, she felt inexplicably afraid.
“Li Lu…sama…”
Feng Zhiling was like a satisfied vengeful spirit, looking at Li Lu with a spring-filled smile.
She was a very cute and beautiful girl, but knowing this was Feng Zhiling made the image nothing short of horrifying.
“What exactly is wrong with you? What did you come here for? Revenge?!”
Li Lu clenched both fists and watched Feng Zhiling nervously.
Except when facing Radiant Starlight, she had never been this nervous about a magical girl in her life.
“Re, revenge? No way!” Feng Zhiling shook her head like a rattle. “I… I deeply realized my mistake, so I came to apologize to Li Lu-sama!”
Though she spoke of apologizing, Feng Zhiling’s infatuated gaze made Li Lu subconsciously swallow.
