Dark-colored Fairy Tale: Seven Magicians - Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Chloe had no idea that because she had kicked two people over, her organization and China’s magical beings department had a direct confrontation.
At the moment, she was looking at Liu Menglu’s captivated expression as she placed the figures in her display cabinet.
This was Chloe’s first time visiting Liu Menglu’s collection room.
This collection room was located on the inner side of Liu Menglu’s room and seemed to have been converted from the original walk-in closet.
The room wasn’t very big, but it was filled with various glass display cases, and those cases were filled with all kinds of exquisite figures.
The bottom shelf contained a variety of comics and DVDs. Everything here was Liu Menglu’s most beloved treasure.
Chloe, who had just entered, was immediately drawn to a huge, 1.5-meter-tall figure.
The figure was exquisitely made, modeled after a real person’s proportions. The details were incredibly realistic.
If Chloe hadn’t sensed the aura of a living person or a demon, she would have definitely thought it was a real person.
The figure in front of Chloe was a beautifully crafted magical girl. She was wearing a black robe and holding an exquisitely made staff. Her beautiful face was half-hidden in the black cloak, making her look especially mysterious.
If that huge figure was a masterpiece created by the figure maker, then all the figures on the remaining two walls were evidence of the owner’s careful protection and collection.
Looking at the walls filled with magical girl figures, Chloe suddenly realized that she had underestimated Liu Menglu’s love for magical girls.
After carefully placing all the magical girl figures she bought today into the empty glass display case, Liu Menglu let out a comfortable sigh.
Looking at the various magical girls in pretty little dresses inside, Liu Menglu rarely showed a lovestruck expression.
Seeing Liu Menglu’s expression, Chloe slightly narrowed her eyes and tugged on Liu Menglu’s sleeve.
Liu Menglu tilted her head to look at Chloe, a little confused, with her clear pupils filled with questions.
Chloe pursed her lips and pointed at herself. Liu Menglu still didn’t react. This time, Chloe was a little unhappy.
She bit her lip and, after a moment, said seriously, “They are dead, and I am alive.”
Liu Menglu froze. Her usually quick and intelligent brain took a long time to react this time.
She stared at the girl in front of her, who was a head shorter and had a delicate, beautiful face. Liu Menglu showed a very sincere smile.
Her eyes were so crinkled she couldn’t see, yet she tried her best to suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth. But a smile can be hidden; the joy in her body was not so easy to conceal.
Chloe looked at the girl, not knowing why she was smiling so inexplicably. She tilted her head, her dark golden eyes filled with deep confusion.
Looking at the cute girl, Liu Menglu couldn’t help but hug Chloe tightly and rub her face against Chloe’s.
“How can our Chloe be so cute?”
The moment she was hugged, Chloe’s body tensed. But after getting used to the girl’s warm embrace, the corners of her lips slightly turned up.
So warm. Just like the sun…
Liu Menglu hugged Chloe in her arms, rubbing her face against her. After some time, when Chloe felt her stomach was a little hungry, Liu Menglu walked into the kitchen with a satisfied smile.
Looking at Liu Menglu’s back, which was filled with joy, Chloe inexplicably touched her cheek. Does touching me make people so happy?
After Liu Menglu and Chloe finished dinner, Liu Menglu took out her long-cherished magical girl DVDs to share with Chloe.
She had shared them with Chloe before, but that time, Chloe had said the plot in the magical girl show was too childish.
After that, Liu Menglu never took these things out again. After all, even though they were childish, they were her favorites.
But today, Liu Menglu decided to take them out and share them with Chloe again. She believed that this time, she would get a different response from Chloe other than that the plot was too fake.
Although Liu Menglu believed that the Chloe now was different from the Chloe before, she had an ostrich-like mentality. This time, the DVD she played wasn’t about magical girls fighting demons but a story about a magical girl and a human girl.
The story was mainly about a magical girl who meets a human girl who loves magical girls. The human girl likes the magical girl very much, and later, as they spend time together, she gradually falls in love with the magical girl.
But the magical girl never knew about the human girl’s feelings, so the human girl liked to call the magical girl “a block of wood.”
The magical girl didn’t like those words at first, but she eventually got used to the human girl calling her a block of wood. After a series of events, the magical girl and the human girl lived together forever.
This story seemed a little pointed, but Liu Menglu didn’t think much of it. After all, this was the one with the least fighting scenes among all her magical girl DVDs.
Sure enough, this time, Chloe didn’t refuse to watch the anime with Liu Menglu. She also didn’t nitpick while watching. Instead, she was a little confused.
Because the relaxed atmosphere in the show was too different from the magical girls she knew.
However, seeing Liu Menglu’s excited expression, Chloe didn’t pour cold water on her like before. She slowly watched quite a bit of it.
The DVD wasn’t very long, just about an hour. After it ended, Liu Menglu still wanted more, and Chloe also, surprisingly, nodded.
Liu Menglu was a little delighted. She bit her lip lightly, her eyes sparkling, and asked with an expectant tone, “Chloe, what did you think of the anime?”
Chloe nodded, her tone firm. “It was pretty good. But why did that human girl call the magical girl a block of wood?”
When this question was asked, Liu Menglu was immediately embarrassed.
She couldn’t just say it was a term of endearment between lovers. But looking at Chloe’s eager, curious eyes, she was too embarrassed to refuse.
So, Liu Menglu subconsciously wanted to bluff. But thinking of how lazy and listless Chloe had become because of her bluffing, she was a little scared.
After much thought, Liu Menglu decided to explain the literal meaning. This way, Chloe wouldn’t be bluffed again.
“‘A block of wood’ means that the human girl thought the magical girl was rigid and inflexible, like a wooden person.”
Chloe seemed to be deep in thought. Liu Menglu let out a sigh of relief. This time, I couldn’t have bluffed Chloe again, could I?
Thinking this, Liu Menglu secretly smiled, turned off the DVD, and urged Chloe to take a shower. They had school tomorrow.
…
At the same time, in the China National Security Bureau,
A girl in a white shirt and a black long skirt strode in confidently and pushed open the vermillion red door.
She stood at attention and saluted.
“Director, sir!”
Looking at the dignified man in front of her, Li Qiuyu’s face was calm, and her voice was flat.
Li Li looked at his daughter’s emotionless expression, and his lips twitched subconsciously, making his already intimidating face look even more sinister.
“You’re here. You should know about the illegal intruder by now.”
Li Qiuyu nodded. She hesitated for a moment and said, “So, my mission is to eliminate that illegal intruder?”
