Dark-colored Fairy Tale: Seven Magicians - Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Chloe discovered that her surroundings had returned to a peaceful state after she had the three people hanging from the balcony all night in the cold wind.
It felt great not to be followed or have people prying open windows late at night.
However, this peace didn’t last for a week. As Chloe walked down the street, she noticed two shady figures.
They appeared and disappeared like ghosts, and they had a faint demonic aura on them.
This made Chloe frown subtly. Didn’t they say China was always very safe? How could demons openly appear on the main street?
Just as Chloe was about to reach out to deal with them, Liu Menglu suddenly grabbed her hand, her eyes filled with excitement.
“Chloe, look at the figure clearance sale over there!”
Chloe was a little confused. Figure? What’s that? It sounds a little familiar.
Before she could think more, Liu Menglu had already pulled her over excitedly. She looked at the lifelike magical girl figures and showed a happy smile.
“Boss, I’ll take all of these. Pack them up for me!”
The boss was stunned. Looking at Liu Menglu’s high school uniform, he was a little hesitant.
“Are you… sure you’re buying all of these?”
Liu Menglu nodded and took out the money from her wallet.
The boss’s face immediately lit up with a smile. He happily packed up all the figures and even gave her two discs that he couldn’t sell.
Liu Menglu didn’t want them at first, but she couldn’t resist the boss’s enthusiasm, so she put them aside, thinking she would watch them when she got home.
Looking at the cheerful Liu Menglu helping the boss pack the figures, Chloe gently pulled her hand. “You stay here and pack. Don’t wander off. I’m going to buy something.”
Liu Menglu naturally wouldn’t refuse. After Chloe put a protective barrier on Liu Menglu, she quickly rushed toward the place where she had sensed the demonic aura.
The two big men saw their target appear, and their eyes lit up with a ferocious expression.
Chloe looked at them and, for some reason, thought of the three directors. Just as Chloe was about to ask them about their purpose, the two big men suddenly reached out and hugged Chloe.
They went for it!
They felt they could catch a turtle in a jar!
They were kicked over by Chloe~
The two of them lay on the ground, completely unable to believe that they had been kicked away by a little girl. They rubbed the spot where they were kicked, feeling a little surreal.
However, remembering their boss’s orders, the two of them got up again.
Just as they were about to take out various attack talismans, Chloe had already put on her sacrifice. She sent the two of them into the sewer with a “black tiger grabs heart” move.
Chloe took ten seconds to resolve the small conflict. By the time the two big men came to their senses, they had already been stuffed into the pitch-black sewer.
Chloe dusted off her spotless clothes. Before returning to Liu Menglu, she even brought Liu Menglu a cup of happy fat house water.
“You’re back.”
Liu Menglu’s smile was radiant. Her small, pearly teeth sparkled in the sunlight, so much so that it was a little dazzling.
Chloe looked at them and suddenly reached out and covered Liu Menglu’s mouth. In Liu Menglu’s confused eyes, Chloe’s voice was awkward as she copied a joke she had heard from who knows where. “Your teeth are blinding me.”
Liu Menglu blinked as if she hadn’t reacted.
Did Chloe just make a joke?
This is a groundbreaking change!
I must write this in my diary tonight!
Thinking of the diary that recorded her and Chloe’s little secrets, Liu Menglu’s smile became even brighter.
Looking at that bright smile, Chloe didn’t know what Liu Menglu was laughing about, but looking at it, her heart couldn’t help but soften a little.
She opened her mouth, and for some reason, her tone became half-shy and half-annoyed.
“What are you… laughing about?”
Liu Menglu’s smile deepened. “Oh, nothing. I just feel happy that I bought so many figures today.”
“Huh? Oh.”
“Hehe, our Chloe is so cute!”
“Stop it.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll be good. I’ll stop.”
The girl’s laughter and shyness drifted with the wind, adding a touch of vitality to the setting sun.
At the same time, the two big men in the sewer looked at the mud on each other and were speechless.
“Should we call headquarters for help?”
“I think we should.”
So, they made the call, and Li Li’s original smile cracked…
“What does that trespassing brat mean by this?! I was so kindly trying to invite her over, and this is how she treats me?”
“Just you wait. I’m going over there to handle her myself!”
Looking at the usually furious Li Li, the Minister of Foreign Affairs had a headache. He said, “Are you sure you asked your subordinates to ‘invite’ her?”
He deliberately emphasized the word “invite” to make sure.
Then, Li Li said very confidently that he had very politely sent his two men.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs felt he had a good hand now, so he threw a call to the head of Fayalon.
At the same time, the head of Fayalon, far away in France, finally remembered what she had overlooked last time after receiving the call.
Oh, it was Chloe who went to China.
Oh, no big deal.
…Huh?!
When did Chloe go to China?!
The head of Fayalon looked at Mist in shock, but Mist shrugged her shoulders, shirking all responsibility.
“I told you last time, but you didn’t seem to pay attention and said, ‘She just went to China, what’s the big deal?'”
The head of Fayalon was a little flustered at first. After all, Chloe was the host of one of the seven ancient sacrifices. But looking at Mist’s gentle and “serene” smile, she suddenly felt like it wasn’t a big deal after all.
So, she said in an unconcerned tone, “It’s just that our Chloe was bored and went on a trip. What’s the rush?”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs’ face darkened. “Do you know what Miss Chloe did in China?”
“Did she blow up your place?” Hertzworth scratched her hair, her tone confused.
I didn’t receive any news about that.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs felt like he was having a heart attack, but as the minister, he still gritted his teeth and argued with the other party.
“Miss Hertzworth! Miss Chloe injured two Chinese magical beings twice! This is a provocation to our Chinese officials!”
“Oh.” Hertzworth didn’t even lift an eyelid. “And?”
“And?!” The minister felt his liver aching from anger. “Shouldn’t you do something about her?”
“Do something about her?” Hertzworth boringly picked at her ear, her tone becoming more and more lazy. “Of course we’ll do something about it. But, she just injured a few of your people. How does that count as a provocation?”
“These are just matters between the youngsters. Is there a need to make a big deal out of it?”
The minister was so angry he laughed. Just as he was about to say something, a man with a pale face came over.
“Minister, the old guy from Fayalon brought their magical beings to our border. They said they want to do a live-fire exercise.”
The minister was furious and directly called out the other person’s name. “Hertzworth! What are you doing?!”
“Nothing. Just trying to cool you down, Minister.”
With that, Hertzworth hung up the phone and looked at Mist with a lazy expression. “Seriously, they’re bothering me with such a small thing.”
Mist narrowed her eyes and agreed, “Yes, ma’am. The subordinates are so clueless, reporting such a small matter to you.”
Hertzworth stretched and looked at the smiling person. She half-closed her eyes, covering her smile with an unknown meaning.
On the other side, the Minister of Foreign Affairs listened to the beeping sound from the phone. He gritted his teeth and said to Li Li, “Hertzworth said this is a matter for the youngsters. So, don’t you think the two of us should also let a youngster handle this?”
Li Li nodded seriously. His already intimidating appearance, paired with his serious expression, would probably scare a lot of children.
But he didn’t care. He said to a woman with a similarly serious face, “Go, call Li Qiuyu. I have a mission to give her.”
