Chapter 7: Even Angel Misses Fear the Dark

Elumeng’s body trembled involuntarily. She reached out and hugged Su Yuewei tightly, pulling herself closer. The warmth from Su Yuewei’s body calmed her tense heart a little.

“She… is she afraid of the dark?” Su Yuewei felt the shivering angelic big sister in her arms. She gently stroked Elumeng’s wings, only for the trembling to intensify and the hug to tighten.

The strength gap between them was huge. Even in succubus form, Su Yuewei couldn’t break free from Elumeng’s embrace.

With effort, she maneuvered her tail to pull the halo from beneath her. Its soft, faint glow bathed them, and Elumeng’s rigid body relaxed.

She collapsed into Su Yuewei’s arms, pinning her down. Su Yuewei couldn’t escape and could only lie there, enjoying it.

“So fragrant~” Elumeng nuzzled Su Yuewei, about to rest on her, when the train’s darkness vanished.

The setting sun lit the city outside, casting a golden glow on the two sprawled on the floor.

They got up and tidied their messy selves. Su Yuewei watched her succubus features dissolve into light particles at visible speed, reverting to her cute, ordinary witch self.

“Hello~ Sisters! I’m Redleaf, the magical girl from the Weak-Willed Protection Agency~ I got the report and rushed over! I’ve already dealt with the spell-caster…” A voice shouted from outside the train.

Su Yuewei and Elumeng, sitting on the floor, turned to look. A pink-haired girl in a gorgeous red gown rode a magic staff, flying alongside the train in the sky. The wind whipped her long pink hair. Redleaf winked at them.

But spotting the attendant and the other girl on the floor, her cheerful face turned serious. She dissolved into colorful paper and reappeared before them.

“Let me see—you’re the weak-willed girl needing protection!” Redleaf reached to pat Su Yuewei’s head, but Elumeng grabbed her wrist.

Little Yuewei belongs only to me! No way she’d let anyone else touch her Su Yuewei!

“Sigh…” Redleaf sighed deeply at the possessive Elumeng. Where was the big-sister solidarity? The weak-willed sharing economy? Why was everyone so greedy, wanting to hoard weak-willed girls?

She glanced at the girls on the floor. A pink magic staff appeared in her hand, and a golden card floated in the air. Redleaf gripped the staff and tapped the card.

Red magical chains shot from the card, binding the two girls and pulling them inside.

“So this is a magical girl…” Su Yuewei stared, mesmerized by the elegant, beautiful Redleaf.

Ordinary magic users were witches. Those in official agencies were magical girls—higher status. They had official positions, but strong, talented witches avoided it.

Magical girls embodied love and justice! Their actions were restricted—no teasing weak-willed girls, no playing with them… For most girls, that was worse than death!

Redleaf curtsied politely, giving Su Yuewei and Elumeng a meaningful look. Her staff landed on a golden card, and she vanished with the girls.

“She’s from the Hug-Save Society! She wasn’t here to handle things!” Elumeng stared at the vanished Redleaf, realizing the issue too late.

Why had Redleaf assumed she was innocent? Procedure demanded questions!

Card… Su Yuewei found a golden card in her hand, depicting her in succubus form.

“We’ll meet again, Miss Su Yuewei. Consider this World Card a gift~ Maybe one day you’ll become a magical girl too~” Redleaf’s voice echoed in her ears.

Elumeng sat in her seat, puffed up with anger. She was furious for missing Redleaf’s true identity, letting her destroy evidence right under her nose.

If only Yuewei’s heart-tail was still there—she could vent her frustration on it. But Su Yuewei’s succubus form was temporary.

She still had sample potions. Once she analyzed them, she’d turn them into candy for Su Yuewei.

“So… Sister Elumeng is afraid of the dark, right?” Su Yuewei gazed at the bustling magical city outside, smiling as she asked.

“Afraid… so what if I am? What angel isn’t afraid of the dark! But why did you save me earlier?” Elumeng’s face flushed at the memory of trembling and clinging to Su Yuewei. She wanted to hide under the seat.

She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and counterattacked.

“Hm… because I’m grateful you paid my three-hundred-thousand debt, got me a job, and a legal identity. It’d be even better if the interest tasks were fewer.” Su Yuewei leaned on the window, answering with a smile while admiring the view.

Flocks of birds soared over the city. Above them floated buildings in the sky. Girls on bizarre vehicles zipped through the air, leaving beautiful trails like brushstrokes on the sky’s canvas.

On the ground, girls strolled leisurely, enjoying a slow-paced life unlike the hurried sky-dwellers.

“One more thing—pinning me down that long counts as the cuddle pillow task. Oh, and…” Su Yuewei unfolded her crumpled list, checking off tasks one by one.

“Today’s interest tasks are down to just going to Featherdome City Witch Academy with Sister Elumeng~ Awesome!” She smiled, pointing at the final task. Just then, the train announced:

“Dear passengers, we’ve arrived at Featherdome City Witch Academy. Please take your luggage and jump out the train exit.”

Huh? Jump out the exit?

Su Yuewei stood, rubbing her eyes. She watched girls drag suitcases and leap straight out the open door.

Her mind reeled. Was this the normal way to disembark?

“Hold my hand tight~ Little Yuewei doesn’t want to become Yuewei paste, right!”
