The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 245 Operation Inari

Nighttime, on the rooftop of a building in the port city.

The golden fox stood on the outdoor unit of the central air conditioning unit, looking down at the brightly lit port city and the countless cargo ships that were urgently leaving the port to avoid the ravages.

"Hehehe... Cat, look, I just made an attack announcement, and the cargo ships are scrambling to leave port for safety. How interesting."

"It inevitably brings to mind a certain legend—in ancient times, a king lit beacon fires to please his favorite concubine. Don't the sight of the feudal lords rushing about bear some resemblance to today's cargo ships?"

The catgirl stood calmly on the edge of the rooftop, letting the night wind toss her skirt and a few strands of hair, her cat eyes fixed on the cargo ships that were hurrying away.

After a brief silence, Hellcat nodded.

"Yes, they do look somewhat alike, but I don't quite understand the behavior of ancient monarchs."

"Fox, I don't understand either. Besides, we've forced a lot of fans to work overtime today. It seems we'll have to give away some prizes to our viewers during the live stream later."

Su Tianqing glanced at the barrage of comments flooding the live stream.

Occasionally, I'd see comments like, "I'm on that cargo ship in the middle," or "Can I see Fox while working overtime on the cargo ship?"

"Anyway, we have quite a lot to do today. Hopefully, Rabbit can lead the newcomers to make the most of their combined abilities~"

"Will it really work...?"

The catgirl glanced at the shore with considerable worry, her heart filled with unease.

—After arriving in the port city, Fox suddenly came up with a new idea: to shoot a thrilling and exciting magical girl-themed police and gangster blockbuster.

Nan Jiayu herself also really likes a series of Hong Kong police and gangster films, especially the Police Story series starring Uncle Jackie Chan. She watched it with great enthusiasm when she was a child and even imagined herself as the protagonist in the movie.

But that's just a movie; where in reality do you find villains with such explosive power?

Hey, you know what, who would have thought that they would grow up to perfectly embody the villain in a story?

What's more, he has an even more outrageous super villain by his side.

...But it's actually quite fun.

Especially when she learned about the script she was about to perform, Nan Jiayu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

But before this excitement could manifest in her body, a sudden surge of magical energy on the distant sea startled the catgirl.

A flash of fire appeared, and it seemed as if a huge, surging rift had split open in the sky. Even on the distant sea, it reminded Nan Jiayu of the giant rift in the world of Red Rose's mental image.

Although it is nowhere near as large as that giant rift, it is still terrifying.

And slowly emerging from that crack... was none other than the volcano monster that had recently attacked Hawaii!

"What...?"

The catgirl's astonishment was palpable. She turned back in surprise to look at the smiling Heart Moon Fox, and then looked at the volcano monster with a hint of fear in her eyes.

How could Fox Fox... perfectly replicate the Volcano Monster...?

Just how terrifying is Tian Qing's magic? I've never even seen her diligently practice magic! Can she really reach such a terrifying level just through talent alone!?

It's also thanks to Tianqing that she has always maintained the principle of not harming any innocent people, and only created the incident for fun.

If she had even the slightest tendency to gravitate towards becoming the head of an evil organization, she would absolutely be considered the most terrifying supervillain in the history of the world.

"This level of commotion should be enough to hold off Aquamarine and the others for a while."

Su Tianqing retrieved the Heart Moon Magic Wand, switched the Volcano Monster to high-performance auto-mode, and smiled as she spoke to the catgirl.

"Kitty, do you remember what we just discussed?"

"Um."

Nan Jiayu composed herself from her shock and nodded.

"The Aquamarine Squad has been confirmed to be present. We await combat updates from Rabbit and Little Gray Wolf, and then..."

The two turned their gaze to Victoria Peak, looking at the memorial hall of Magical Girl Inari on the summit, and both smiled happily.

"Infiltrate the Inari Memorial Hall, steal the fox mask from Inari, and then leave them with a 'huge surprise firework'."

"—Operation codename: Operation Inari!"

……

"Hurry! Red zircon! Faster!"

"I...I've already tried my best...!"

The azure-blue magical girl floated in mid-air and spoke loudly towards the red zircon in the distance on the sea.

The magical girl squad that is permanently stationed in the port city has all arrived: Aquamarine, Red Zircon, Peridot, and Amethyst waiting and watching not far behind.

At this moment, the scarlet magical girl is struggling to push a cargo ship that didn't have time to leave port to seek refuge on the sea.

Her powerful magic provided the cargo ship with extraordinary propulsion, allowing it to travel at speeds comparable to sports cars on the sea.

Peridot floated beside Aquamarine, and the two of them looked at the volcanic monster that was approaching the coastline step by step in the distance. They both swallowed hard.

"Are you kidding me...? That guy, Xin Yuehu..."

Peridot muttered to himself.

"Could that be the volcano monster that once destroyed Hawaii? Why is it here? Could it be that Xin Yuehu...?"

"Don't overthink it. What we need to do now is figure out a way to stop this volcanic monster."

Aquamarine said firmly.

After Red Zircon helped the last cargo ship to leave port and settle in, the three of them floated side by side to Purple Shine, who had set up a magic telescope, and looked at the only firepower-type companion in the group.

"How's it going, Amethyst? Have you noticed anything new about that volcano monster?"

"……without."

The girl in purple shook her head; her attire was completely different from the style of Aquamarine and the others.

Her hooded trench coat covered a simple long shirt and shorts underneath, and a mask covered the lower half of her face. Coupled with the rifle-shaped weapon behind her, one could immediately guess her position in the team.

Sniper.

"Stop observing! We need to figure out how to deal with it before it reaches the coastline!"

Red Zircon nervously pointed to the enormous, mountain-like figure on the distant sea and addressed his companions.

The residents and workers on the port and coastline have been completely cleared out by the Hero Association. Only the four of them remain in the sky, facing the volcano monster that had recently almost razed Hawaii to the ground.

...Can it really be solved?

All four of them felt a surge of excitement.

Ziyingshi stared silently at the volcano monster in the telescope.

She was already quite taciturn, and now she was completely silent, utterly unable to fathom how she, with her sniper's precise firepower, could possibly deal with a behemoth of the volcano monster's caliber.

Unless we send someone who specializes in heavy firepower...

"Aquamarine!"

Suddenly, a sound coming from not far away made all four of them turn their heads to look.

A magical blue flight path flew in from afar, followed by two arcs of pale yellow and pure white!

The Hyacinth Squad, magical girls from Chengdu!

"Oh! It's hyacinths and irises!"

Overjoyed, Aquamarine immediately led her team to greet them.

They arrived just in time! Hyacinth and the others are the real masters at dealing with Heart Moon Fox!

"Sorry we're late, that's over there... wow..."

Hyacinth turned to look at the distant horizon, shocked by the exaggerated size of the volcano monster.

Perhaps only the jellyfish monster that I first transformed into as the Shadow of Stars can compare to it.

"We must find a way to stop it and prevent it from getting close to the port city's coastline! Otherwise, the city will be in great danger!"

"Anyway, all we need to do is take down that big guy, right?"

Hyacinth's eyes were sharp, and her magic wand transformed into a greatsword, pointing directly at the distant volcano monster, exuding an imposing aura!

"Let's attack together! We can definitely take it down!"

The magical girls activated their flight magic and flew towards the approaching volcano monster.

Their valiant figures, reflected in the blood-red rabbit eyes and golden wolf eyes, evoked a cruel smile.

"Cheshire Rabbit Report."

"...They took the bait."
