[CH.55] Memory Erasure Beam
Higanbana made a V-sign in front of her, then she raised her sword and thrust it into another gang member, creating several holes in his body.
"Well, what should a magical girl say when she intends to kill someone?"
Faced with the question, there was no answer. Alice couldn't speak, and the gang members clenched their teeth, refusing to speak. The prolonged silence kindled Higanbana's anger.
"I'm asking you a question!"
With each pause, another blood hole appeared on the gang members' bodies. Higanbana watched them in pain, rolling on the ground without daring to make a sound, and she smiled with delight.
"Come up with a line quickly. This will be the last thing you hear, so think carefully."
"No, we..."
"Shut up! I didn't ask you to speak!"
With a sharp reprimand, Higanbana stabbed the person several times in a row. Due to her precise control of force, each of Higanbana's strikes only pierced the skin and flesh. The wounds were not deep, and while blood flowed, there was no risk to their lives.
"You can only speak when I ask a question. Do you understand?"
The three gang members weakly replied, "Yes..."
"Louder! Can't hear you!"
In the blink of an eye, an invisible force severed the ring fingers of the left hands of the three gang members. Even Alice couldn't see the process of the sword swinging.
Before the pain signal could even register, their fingers had already fallen off.
Higanbana glanced at the three people writhing on the ground, a faint smile on her face.
"Very well, I think you should understand now. It's also time to bring everything to an end."
Higanbana said coldly, sheathing her longsword with indifference.
"Light magic, Memory Erase Ray!"
Higanbana snapped her fingers and pointed at the three individuals. After a brief pause, she leaped into the air and started beating and kicking the three gang members.
"Forget! Forget! Forget! Forget everything for me!"
Higanbana laughed and ruthlessly trampled on the gang members' heads. With each stomp, she used all her strength, as if she wanted to completely crush what was beneath her feet.
Higanbana didn't stop her assault until the three men lost consciousness.
Alice crouched in a corner of the carriage, staring blankly at Higanbana's violent attack on the gang members. Blood splattered on her face, and her mind was blank at that moment.
Alice didn't even know where to begin to make sense of everything happening in front of her.
Higanbana's actions were illogical and unfathomable, and Alice couldn't understand them.
Perhaps feeling somewhat exhausted, Higanbana finally stopped. She looked at Alice wearily and wiped the blood from her face.
Then, Higanbana silently got off the train and reattached the fallen door.
Wait... at least help me untie the ropes...
Before long, after just a few seconds, the door was opened again, and Chen Qianqiu appeared at the entrance.
Chen Qianqiu untied Alice and gave her new clothes.
---
In the senior sister's villa, Alice sat on the sofa wearing a slightly loose-fitting skirt.
Chen Qianqiu had given her the senior student's long skirt. Although Alice and the senior student had the same cup size, Alice had a petite figure and couldn't fill out the senior student's clothes.
Especially around the chest area, the fabric of the clothing collapsed. The fabric around the waist was loose, and the entire skirt simply hung on Alice's body. If the neckline were any wider, Alice was afraid she would slip right out of the dress.
Chen Qianqiu sat across from Alice, silently watching her. Neither of them commented on what had just happened.
After a long silence, Alice was the first to speak.
"Um... Are you a magical girl?"
"I'm not." Chen Qianqiu replied with a straightforward denial.
"You really don't need to lie... You're the one who was Higanbana just now, right?"
...
Seeing that Chen Qianqiu didn't want to admit it, Alice didn't press further. She let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.
"Anyway, thank you. Thank you for saving me."
"No need to thank me. Besides, it wasn't me who saved you."
The conversation came to an end, and Alice and Chen Qianqiu stared at each other.
It was awkward to have a staring contest, especially with Chen Qianqiu looking at her so intently. Alice rarely spent time alone with other girls, and her senior student was one of the only two people she could be alone with without feeling nervous.
The other person was Zhang Jingya.
Chen Qianqiu is a friend of Zhang Jingya. From her outward appearance alone, she appears to be a mature and composed young girl. Perhaps one could describe Chen Qianqiu's personality with simple words like calm, cool, serious, and responsible.
But if it were that simple, Alice wouldn't be feeling nervous.
To alleviate the awkwardness, Alice took out her phone.
There was a magical girl encyclopedia website that documented the vast majority of magical girls who appeared in the public eye. It contained information on Alice herself as well.
Magical Girl - Higanbana
A quick search by this name yielded results.
Higanbana, a magical girl of the Light category. In office for 2 years, her introduction phrase is "Silent as a shadow," her exit phrase is "Vanishing without a trace," and her finishing move is called "Holy Light Crush."
According to the encyclopedia, she is a mysterious magical girl who comes and goes in a hurry. Higanbana, dressed in a tight latex suit, is like a ninja, always appearing suddenly and then vanishing in an instant after defeating monsters.
She is a true magical girl who considers defeating monsters and protecting citizens as her primary duty.
Higanbana does not engage in idol activities, she has no live broadcasts, and she does not interact with the public. Therefore, Higanbana has almost no popularity. She comes and goes in such a hurry that not many people have seen her.
The encyclopedia had only a few photos and a single video clip.
In the blurry video, Higanbana calmly chanted "Holy Light Crush." Countless golden rays of light shot towards the monster in the night sky, creating numerous intersecting wounds on the creature's flesh.
Although these wounds didn't sever the monster's body, they were deep enough to be lethal. The monster was defeated, and its body gradually dissolved into points of light. Higanbana vanished without a sound from the view of the onlookers.
"So, 'vanishing without a trace' actually means not speaking, which is the same as having no lines, right?"
"Hey... what are you looking at?"
At some point, Chen Qianqiu had come to Alice's side. She leaned over Alice's thigh, peering at the phone screen.
"Do you deliberately investigate magical girls' stuff?"
"I'm just a little curious, I've never heard of Higanbana before."
"But there's no need to specifically find out, magical girls themselves are supposed to maintain an air of mystery, aren't they?"
Chen Qianqiu gazed at Alice's face, her expressionless face inching closer. She climbed up Alice's body along her thigh, almost toppling Alice completely.
This sudden display of intimacy left Alice somewhat flustered. She leaned back, placing her hands between them to create some distance.
However, Alice still didn't have much strength, and her raised arms exerted no force. Chen Qianqiu's face drew nearer and nearer, and Alice, frightened, closed her eyes.
"I mean, haven't we met somewhere before?"
"Huh, have we?"
"I feel like you look a lot like someone I've met before... Although you're a bit shorter, with long hair, your aura is really similar... Strange..."
Chen Qianqiu slowly moved away from Alice, taking the opportunity to carefully examine her body. She had indeed met Alice before, but the person she had seen was Han Huayang.
During this examination, Chen Qianqiu's gaze fixed on Alice's chest.
Her eyes were intense, and Alice hurriedly shielded herself.
"What are you trying to do—ah!"
Before Alice could finish her sentence, Chen Qianqiu moved in. She went around Alice's cover and grabbed a handful of softness. With squeezing and fondling, Alice's body was naturally sensitive, and she unexpectedly felt a slight sensation.
Alice's waist weakened, and a faint moan escaped from her lips.
"Hmm... I remember the person I met before seemed to be flat-chested, but Miss, yours are quite large, around E-cup, I'd say?"
Chen Qianqiu tugged at the bra over the clothing, creating some space to gain more contact.
"And, you seem to be wearing a bra properly, which is different from Miss Han."
