Dark-colored Fairy Tale: Seven Magicians - Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Liu Menglu was a child with a strong sense of action. As soon as she decided to write a diary, she couldn’t wait and took Chloe to the stationery store after school.

The stationery stores in China never sold products based on quality but on their exquisite appearance.

Liu Menglu headed directly toward a row of password-protected diaries. The variety of delicate and beautiful diaries dazzled her.

Finally, a diary with a maroon cover and outlined with a dark gold border, along with thin, vine-like patterns, caught Liu Menglu’s eye.

“Chloe, look. Does this fit your magical girl’s aesthetic?”

As she said this, she tucked the notebook into Chloe’s arms. In her mind, she envisioned a mysterious and ethereal girl holding a similarly simple yet luxurious-looking notebook, standing in a crowd with an otherworldly presence.

However, reality always delivered a heavy blow.

Although Chloe’s face was still beautiful, her dark golden eyes, which usually held a strong sense of mystery, were now half-closed, a lazy look as if she hadn’t woken up yet.

Although Chloe was beautiful and no expression could affect her beauty, she was completely different from what Liu Menglu had imagined.

“Sigh.” Liu Menglu sighed. Chloe looked up at her.

“What’s wrong?” Her eyes were confused. She looked at the diary in her hand and then at the seemingly troubled Liu Menglu.

As her mind churned, Chloe also frowned. Then, she took a bank card from her pocket.

It was an ordinary-looking card, the kind that common people used.

She put the card in Liu Menglu’s hand. “Are you out of money? Take mine and spend whatever you want.”

Liu Menglu looked at the bank card, and her thoughts momentarily drifted. “You guys use normal people’s bank cards too?”

This time it was Chloe’s turn to be silent. “Do you have a certain misunderstanding about us? We also live in this world. Although our identity is a little special, in the end, we are just humans who have mastered a special ability.”

Liu Menglu blinked, and the expression on her face instantly came alive. She grinned, put her arm on Chloe’s shoulder, and, because she was taller, half-bent down and rubbed her face against Chloe’s with satisfaction.

“Our Aiai is so cute! Don’t worry, I have some money.”

Chloe didn’t like being touched, but looking at the girl standing next to her, rubbing her face and smiling with satisfaction, she hesitated before pushing her away.

—It’s my sister. I won’t push her away.

Liu Menglu was completely unaware of Chloe’s thoughts. At this moment, she felt like she had been stroked the right way. She no longer worried about the appearance of the notebook. She paid for it directly and then went on a big shopping trip at the supermarket, ready to show off her skills and feed Chloe until she was plump and healthy.

It would be best if she only ate the food I make for her from now on and never leaves me.

Chloe, who was being pulled to walk quickly toward home, gently raised her head. She looked at the girl’s upturned lips and the happiness radiating from her body in the sunset. Her eyes also softened.

A day always ended quickly and briefly. The dim yellow light cast a soft glow. Liu Menglu carefully pasted the photo she took last time on the first page of her diary.

At the same time, she wrote a small line of text.

May 16th, an ordinary day. I met an extraordinary person. That person is my favorite magical girl.

The black pen was still clutched tightly in her hand. Liu Menglu still had thousands of happy words she wanted to write, but looking at the simple two lines of text, she felt that the rest of the words might be redundant.

After a long time of hesitation, Liu Menglu finally put down the pen. She looked at the pitch-black night outside and gently put down the diary.

As for the password of the diary, it was 0516, the day they met.

At the same time, Chloe, who was sleeping in the next room, gently turned over. After hearing the sound of Liu Menglu getting into bed, her half-closed eyes suddenly opened.

Her dark golden eyes seemed to be covered in a faint glow in the darkness, just like a large feline in the wild. She shed her usual laziness and adopted a fighting stance.

She nimbly got up from the bed. Chloe slowly moved her wrist. The next second, she was standing by the door, opening it and walking into the living room.

At the same time, Director No. 11, dressed in black, with a safety rope for climbing buildings on his back, adjusted his collar.

His two subordinates felt helpless. Although their 11th District was not an overt official organization, it was still an official one.

Why did their boss look like a thief going to steal something?

One of them was about to try to talk the director out of it, but the director had already tied the safety rope and then plopped down…

The two guys upstairs looked at each other. After a moment, one of them asked with a trembling voice.

“I remember this device requires sliding. Is the boss going bungee jumping?”

The other one also fell silent. When he spoke, his face was filled with despair. He took a step toward the edge of the balcony, his voice sorrowful!

“Boss!”

That sharp, sorrowful voice was like the wail of a night owl, echoing brazenly in the quiet night.

The director regretted it the moment he jumped. I should have let those two fools go first. But there was no turning back.

Thankfully, when he tied the rope, its length was just enough to reach the floor where Liu Menglu lived.

When he felt a heavy pull on his body and the falling sensation disappeared, the director slowly opened his eyes. He saw the familiar balcony that they had already scouted out and let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he heard the sorrowful wailing of his two foolish team members from upstairs. The director’s face instantly turned green.

I’m not dead yet, so why are they wailing so miserably? And what if they wake up that illegally trespassing magical being?

Later, after I capture that magical being, I’m going to hang those two brats in the hallway of District 11 to clear out the water in their brains.

While he was cursing in his mind, the movements of his hands were not slow. He took out his professional tools and was about to pry open the window.

However, what the director didn’t expect was that the window opened by itself.

The director was now excited. Oh yeah, the heavens are helping me. This magical being will be easy to catch!

As long as I capture this magical being, there will be no other flaws in my work, and I’ll keep my job!

Just as he was about to happily go through the window, he suddenly saw a pair of dark golden eyes.

Those beautiful eyes had no emotions, like frozen ice.

Director: …

Is it too late for me to leave now?
